Please take a look at my new work.

"Very well," Rhaegar said calmly to his companions, "to save time, I suggest that I use magic to clear the way first, so that we can get out of this place faster." ”

Enclosing all of his companions in his magical shield, the geist first cast a solidifying spell on the surrounding rocks, making them solidify in a short period of time so that they would not collapse again in the process of opening the passage, and then several cleavage missiles flew a few meters with his mind, hitting the place indicated by the dwarf.

This spell, which can break things down into elementary particles, proved its usefulness once again, and after a dazzling light, a hole about a meter and a half in diameter appeared in front of everyone, and behind this hole, a deep passage stretched into the unknown distance.

"I'm afraid most of us will have to bend over it," Rhaegar said, "with the exception of Nack, who may have to crawl to get through." ”

Over the next few hours, relying on Rhaeggar's magic, they passed through six rubble-blocked intersections before finally arriving at a relatively intact passageway.

"It's less than two hundred meters from the entrance of the cave we've reached," said the geist, feeling the magical markings he had left behind—these marks formed a three-dimensional map of the underground caverns, allowing Rhaegar to easily grasp all the terrain of the area, and most of them remained intact despite the magical onslaught of Norlans Heytham Tver—"There are still two or three blocked places along this stretch of road, and we can see the light of day again by rushing through them." ”

It was great news for everyone, and excitement was on everyone's faces—except for Willy.

Though none of her companions reproached her, the warrior was almost overwhelmed by a heavy sense of guilt: if it weren't for the sheer she'd lost her guard because of her low mood, they were still enjoying the pleasures of freedom and adventure, rather than being locked up in the darkness of the ground, and she couldn't forgive herself for letting her friends fall into a trap, much less accept that the people she cared about the most were in danger because of her.

"How long have you been away from the body?" Willy, who had been silent, suddenly said to Rhaeggar, "I remember you said that you can't leave the body for too long in the form of a geist, or you will never be able to stay in this world again." ”

Her words alerted the rest of the team to the ecstasy, and they immediately realized Rhaeggar's situation and looked at him.

"We can handle the rest of the way," Nack said, "and the dwarves can point us where we need to dig, and I can move the stones out of the way." ”

"It's not that bad," Rhaegar said calmly in the face of the concern of his companions, "and, with your strength, it will take at least two days to break through all the obstacles, you will have no water and food, and the air here will soon run out." ”

"We can take care of ourselves!" Willy exclaimed, looking a little hysterical, her words eager and thoughtless, "we've been in a more dangerous situation before we met you, and we can get out of this damn place even without you." Hurry back to your physical body, that's the only thing you should do right now. ”

Rhaegar didn't speak again, he knew his state very well, if he could return to his physical body within half an hour, he would not have any damage, and once this time was exceeded, or if he continued to consume mana to a certain level, his only ending would be to be captured back to the undead realm. However—he had been out of the flesh for too long, and after returning to the body, he would not be able to reappear in the form of a geist for at least three days, and according to his estimates, the remaining air in the cave would only last for a day and a half at most.

"I'll take care of everything," Rhaegar said, "I've never let you down, have I." ”

The light of magic flickered around him, and the geist began to prepare the magic that opened the way.

"Stop!" Willy screamed, tears in her eyes as she looked at Rhaegar "You self-righteous fool, do you think we can't survive without you?" A great panic haunted the warrioress, and a hunch from the dark told her that if Rhaegar was allowed to continue using magic, she would probably lose her forever.

"I want you to leave!" Nack and the dwarf struggled to stop Willy from lunging at the geist, the almost frantic cry that made her feel so well buried in her heart before, "Get out of here,...!

A thunderous roar came from beneath everyone's feet, muffling Willy's last words, and the next moment, the ground not far from the team's location suddenly collapsed downward without warning, and then, a huge head emerged from the collapsed ground.

Even though they have far more courage than ordinary people, even if they have encountered countless monsters in their adventure career, the team can't help but gasp when they see the existence in front of them.

The inverted triangular face was covered in black scales, the black and shiny horns stood tall like sharp spears, the yellow eyes shone with a terrifying light, and a single head almost filled the space where the team was... There is only one creature in this universe that has such power.

- It was a dragon.

Vane is furious now. This is its lair, and when it was a young black dragon, it spent a great deal of effort to build this labyrinthine cave in order to collect its treasures, and all its treasures were stored at the bottom of this cave, and at that time, it guarded it like an alert sentry, and any intruder could not escape death. But as it grew older, like its kind, it spent most of its time lying asleep on the treasure, and as a seven-thousand-year-old dragon, there was almost nothing that could wake him up from his dreams unless he wanted to—from five hundred years ago to now, the old dragon had been sleeping at the bottom of the cavern, and even the invasion of the killers had not been able to wake it up.

However, Norrais Hazen Tver's last magic succeeded in doing just that, and when Vane, aware of the hive's anomaly, awoke from his dream to find nearly half of his home and at least a third of his treasure buried. Even the most docile silver dragon was absolutely unable to exercise restraint after witnessing this scene, not to mention the most aggressive black dragon in the dragon clan, after sensing the only place in this cave where intelligent creatures existed, Vane, who was burned by rage, rushed to the scene in the shortest time.

"You will pay for your actions!" the irascible black dragon roared, a thunderous sound that shook the rubble to the ground, and the next moment, a flame of molten iron erupted from its gaping jaw.

The thick pillar of fire was almost as thick as the passage, and in front of this terrifying dragon flame, the team had no room to dodge, and if it wasn't for Rhaegar to hold up a magic shield in time, everyone would have been reduced to ashes in an instant.

"I'm going to tear you all apart!" Rhaeggar's resistance added fuel to Vane's fire, and the black dragon let out an angry roar, and two fireballs ten times brighter than the sun flew towards its prey with high temperatures.

The fireball containing infinite energy slammed into the magic shield, and the powerful impact caused the shield to flash with dazzling light. Under the reflection of this light, Rhaegar's translucent body swayed like a broken candle in the wind - in order to resist the terrifying attack of the black dragon, he consumed too much magic power, which has hurt the very essence of his existence in this world, at most five minutes, he will be sucked into the undead world without any suspense, and without the protection of magic power, the strong pressure of the spatial passage will seriously damage his soul, and he will return to the previous state of no wisdom.

"I misunderstood you," Willy said suddenly, now she changed her impatience and appeared extraordinarily calm, "and I have been angry with you for some ridiculous reason," she walked slowly to the geist, staring deeply at the person in front of her, and the face of the female warrior shone with a certain bright light in the light of magic. "But I want you to know that I never hated you, no matter what. If there really is a destiny, I will be infinitely grateful to it for letting you come to me. ”

Willy lifted her hand and touched Rhaegar's blurred face, which unsurprisingly passed through the phantom spirit, but she didn't seem to care, still holding her hand in the air equivalent to Rhaegar's face, stroking it.

"I know," her voice had never been so gentle, like moonlight at night, "that nothing can stop you if you want to leave, not even that big winged lizard." A blooming epiphany smile suddenly bloomed on Willy's face.

"Remember, no matter what happens, I," Willy paused, not saying what was in her heart, but instead using the words that had just been muffled by the sound made by the black dragon, "I just want you to live well!"

She jerked her hand down, then turned and rushed out of Rhaeggar's magic shield.

"Don't you want to hurt him!" the female warrior shouted, her body soaring into the air, and the arrow flew towards the black dragon not far away, the giant sword in her hand cut a bright light in the darkness, as brilliant as a meteor about to fall to the ground.

Almost at the same time, the figures of Heim, Nack, and the Tomahawk flew past Rhaegar and rushed out of the protection of the magic shield.

"Man," the dwarf said one last word to the geist as he rushed towards the black dragon, "if you have the chance, remember to kick this big lizard's ass for me!"

The maintenance shield had almost exhausted Rhaegar's remaining mana, and he had almost returned to the state he had been in when he first came to this world, when the geist could not move even a speck of dust, and even something as simple as using magic to vibrate air to simulate language became unattainable. Silently watching his companions rush towards the terrible enemy one by one, Rhaegar suddenly felt a sharp pain from the depths of his soul that seemed to tear him apart, but he couldn't do anything, not even a word of dissuasion!

Vane looked at the little insects that swooped down like moths throwing fire with some surprise, and felt more anger than surprise, and in order to give these insignificant beings a lesson that they would never forget, he decided to end their lives in a special way.

A black hole appeared in everyone's path without warning, and at the same time, the irresistible gravitational pull firmly attracted people's bodies like a magnet, dragging them into the unknown world in an instant. 、

Space Exile, a spell that can only be mastered by mages above the ninth order, there are only two endings for those who are hit by the spell, either they are lost forever in the endless spatial gaps, or they are torn to pieces by the pressure of the spatial passage in the process of exile.

Witnessing all this, Rhaegar did not pounce and fight with Vane, the gaze of the geist looking at the black dragon was unusually calm, so calm that even the old dragon felt a little uneasy, taking advantage of the opponent's hesitation, he quickly put away the magic shield outside his body, and then, under the gaze of the other party, he walked through the stone wall and floated towards the outside of the cave.
