206: Chapter 206 The Golden Gate Symbolizing the [Future]: Spatial Elements and the Dark Elementalization of the Progenitor Black Dragon

"Black Dragon!"

The Ancestral White Dragon's roar carried a tearing, agonizing pain. The Gluttonous Slime's red mucus was frantically corroding her flesh and vitality. Her snow-white dragon scales were falling off in pieces like shattered porcelain, and the exposed tender pink skin sizzled from the corrosion. Fresh red dragon blood was continuously swallowed by the Gluttonous Slime, causing joyful bubbles to constantly rise within the red mucus.

Ignoring her own intense pain, the Ancestral White Dragon flapped her dragon wings—which were a bloody mess from the red mucus corrosion—and used her last ounce of strength to dive rapidly, catching the falling Ancestral Black Dragon mid-air.

The moment the Ancestral Black Dragon's body crashed into her embrace, the Ancestral White Dragon couldn't help but groan in pain. The wound on her back, pierced by the specially-made arrow, was pulled and torn open. The Gluttonous Slime's red mucus took the opportunity to crawl into the Ancestral White Dragon's internal organs through the wound, rapidly spreading toward her heart. She tightly cradled the Ancestral Black Dragon's weakened body with her forelimbs, pressing her forehead against his neck, her voice tearful yet incredibly firm: "I will definitely not let anything happen to you!... Definitely not!"

The Ancestral Black Dragon looked at the red mucus on the Ancestral White Dragon's back, watching the originally pure white dragon scales corrode and fall off, feeling her body's constant trembling and her fading life force. There was no longer a trace of fear in his dim vertical pupils, only the grim determination of a man burning his bridges to protect his mate. "White Dragon!... Purify that artificial demonic creature first!... I will protect you!" His voice was so hoarse it was almost inaudible. He endured a violent headache, ignoring the agony that felt like thousands of red-hot steel needles stabbing into his seemingly melting brain—the price of forcibly channeling extremely weak mental energy to release magic.

Before his voice finished, dense dark element energy suddenly surged around the Ancestral Black Dragon. Pitch-black dark elements enveloped his dragon body like a tide. Under the shroud of dark elements, his original flesh and blood body was rapidly assimilated, finally transforming into a dragon-shaped entity of pure dark element energy. "Intermediate Dark Element Dragon Magic—[Dark · Elementalization]!"

The elementalized Ancestral Black Dragon did not stay in the Ancestral White Dragon's embrace. He rapidly expanded himself like a black curtain, wrapping the Ancestral White Dragon's entire body within. The Gluttonous Slime's red mucus was isolated outside the Ancestral White Dragon's body by the Ancestral Black Dragon's dark element energy entity. In the confrontation with the red mucus, the dark elements continuously sizzled as they were corroded. This was the protection the Ancestral Black Dragon obtained by squeezing his extremely weak mental energy; he intended to use his elemental energy entity to shield the Ancestral White Dragon from the fatal corrosion of the red mucus.

"Black Dragon..." Feeling the cool yet protective dark elements surrounding her, the Ancestral White Dragon could no longer hold back her tears, which caused ripples to spread across the barrier formed by the dark element energy entity. The Ancestral White Dragon looked hatefully at the Dragon Slayers on the ground, especially the arrogantly laughing Red-haired Sword God. She opened her mouth and began chanting the Advanced Light Element Dragon Magic [Holy Light Purification] once more.

As the light elements of the Forest of No Light gathered toward the Ancestral White Dragon again, dozens of human mages on the ground had already formed a formation. The staves in their hands simultaneously lit up with a dazzling colorless light, their obscure incantations chanted in unison. Continuous mysterious waves of energy constantly stimulated the Ancestral White Dragon's nerves in the sky.

"Advanced Spatial Element Magic—[Spatial Jump]!" As the chanting ended, a small colorless gate of light abruptly appeared above the Ancestral White Dragon, while another small colorless gate of light appeared before the Red-haired Sword God. The space within the two colorless gates distorted. Looking at the Ancestral White Dragon appearing in the colorless gate before him, Brad, the Red-haired Sword God, curled his lips into a cruel smile. He kicked off the ground and instantly charged into the gate of light.

After a surge of spatial element energy, Brad's figure appeared directly in the air above the White Dragon's back. He drew the two dragon slaying swords from his waist and swung them, creating a blue and red intersecting cross-shaped Sword Qi that slashed heavily at the base of the Ancestral White Dragon's wings, once again interrupting her dragon magic chant.

"Reinhardt Style Divine Sword Technique—[Wind-Fire Cross Slash]"

Just as his feet landed steadily on the cross-shaped wound he had just slashed into the Ancestral White Dragon's back, the red mucus isolated outside the dark element energy barrier acted like a shark scenting blood. It suddenly changed direction and lunged toward the Red-haired Sword God—the Gluttonous Slime's instinctive appetite for fresh life.

"Hmph! A mere tool!" Brad, the Red-haired Sword God, snorted disdainfully. The circular magic tool hanging at his waist suddenly glowed with a faint golden light, and an invisible wave instantly spread out. The lunging red mucus froze abruptly a meter away from him. Like a slave bowing to its master, it went limp on the Ancestral White Dragon's back; the trembling red mucus dared not take even a single step forward. That was the [Slime Core] specially refined by the kingdom's alchemists to control the artificial Demonic Beast—[Gluttonous Slime]. Anyone holding this magic tool could control the Gluttonous Slime's life and death.

Having resolved the interference of the red mucus, Brad, the Red-haired Sword God, gripped a dragon slaying sword in each hand. At the hilts of the two swords, blue and red Dragon Crystal Fragments simultaneously erupted with brilliant light. Wind and fire elements respectively entwined around the blades of the two dragon slaying swords. "Does this feel familiar? These are dragon slaying swords forged from the spines and Dragon Crystal Fragments of the Ancestral Azure Dragon and the Ancestral Red Dragon. You two lizards will also be made into two new dragon slaying swords, serving as symbols of the Reinhardt Family's glory. Hahaha! Be grateful that you can become stepping stones for the brilliance of the Human Kingdom! So, die!"

As his words fell, Brad swung his arms violently. Two bursts of Sword Qi erupted from the blades simultaneously—one entwined with violent blue wind elements, and the other burning with blazing red fire elements. The two bursts of Sword Qi intertwined in the air into a blue-and-red energy tornado, slashing fiercely at the dark element energy barrier.

"Reinhardt Style Divine Sword Technique—[Wind-Fire Tornado]"

Boom! A violent elemental explosion sounded. The dark element energy barrier formed by the Ancestral Black Dragon was like fragile black glass, instantly covered in fine cracks. The Ancestral Black Dragon's mental energy was already extremely weak, and forcibly releasing and maintaining the Dark · Elementalization had almost exhausted all his strength. Now, enduring such a fierce attack from the Red-haired Sword God, his consciousness momentarily blurred. A large amount of dark elements dissipated into the air, and the black light of the dark element energy barrier dimmed significantly.

Brad, the Red-haired Sword God, did not let up. He tapped his feet lightly on the Ancestral White Dragon's back and jumped into the air, dodging the dark element energy's counterattack. His figure moved like a ghost as he continuously swung the two dragon slaying swords. Blue and red Sword Qi fell like a rainstorm, each strike precisely hitting the weak points of the dark element energy barrier.

Crack... Crack... The sound of the energy barrier shattering rang out continuously. Dark element energy dissipated like a collapsing tide. As the protection on the Ancestral White Dragon's body vanished, the exhausted and unconscious Ancestral Black Dragon reverted from his dark elemental form back to his flesh and blood form, falling straight toward the ground. Below, the Dragon Slayers who had been waiting for a long time raised their top-tier dragon slaying weapons forged from Ancestral Dragon materials, prepared to achieve the feat of slaying an Ancestral Dragon.
