Chapter 7: Blackstone Island
At the moment when he was about to be sucked into the snake's mouth, a huge figure emerged from behind Rhaegar without warning, and the figure that emerged from the void appeared so suddenly that the giant snake did not realize the presence of the enemy until the other party bit Coravin's neck tightly. It struggled desperately, its thick body twisting in the air, trying to attack its opponent with its tail, but the tail that was enough to break through the gravel 'pumped' on the opponent's body, and it did not do anything other than to cause some faint white marks.
Just as Rhaegar assessed, in terms of the strength and strength of his 'flesh' body alone, Cato can definitely rank among all creatures in this universe except for the gods, and the Coravin Flying Serpent may have a speed that is no less than the former's comprehensive strength and the former's incomparable, but in the above two aspects, it can't even see the opponent's back.
- If it hadn't been carried away by the rage and chose to leave after passing the ordeal, waiting until its strength had improved before seeking revenge on Rhaegar, the only thing the geist could do was run as far as it could before it arrived, and now, the Coravin Flying Serpent had finally paid the price for its unwiseness, and the fate of the serpent was sealed while it was bitten on the neck.
Under Rhaeggar's '' control, Gato's sharp teeth that appeared from the shadow of 'yin' tightened more and more, and the loss of his soul and becoming a puppet did not weaken his 'physical' physical strength in the slightest, and the Coravin Flying Serpent's neck was almost half bitten off by it, and the giant snake suffered more damage than even the test of nature. As it struggled to get rid of its opponent, a black flame flew through its gaping mouth, first in its throat, then in its esophagus, then in its entire internal organs, and in an instant, the Divine Fire of Judgment turned this monster with great potential into an empty shell.
Watching the corpse of the giant snake fall from the sky, Rhaegar was quite satisfied with the first battle of this top-secret weapon he had created, and the geist re-transformed Cato into a 'shadow', and then slowly fell back to the ground, walking to the place where the Coravin Flying Serpent had just entrenched.
Under the huge block of ice that did not hit the target, a 'hole' with a diameter of nearly ten meters was mostly suppressed, and a trace of soul 'wave' full of panic and helplessness was coming out of it. The serpent didn't leave the place even when it was being tested by nature, and it was clear that something in the 'hole' was extremely important to it.
With a slight wave of his hand, Rhaegar moved the massive block of ice away from its place, and then stepped into the crypt large enough for the serpent to enter and exit freely, where he easily found the source of the wave, a half-human-tall, snow-white ape.
Snow apes, one of the favorite pets of the gods in the Age of the Ancient Gods, they are brave, loyal, holy, and have a power that even angels can hardly match, the biggest disadvantage of this race is that the number is too small, the reproductive ability is low and the growth cycle is too long, even in the age of the gods, they are also one of the rarest creatures, and now they are almost extinct. It would take at least two thousand years for this apparently juvenile snow ape to enter its youth, and until then, its only use would have been to be used as a tonic for some powerful beasts to increase its strength - this is also the purpose of the Coravin Flying Serpent waiting at the mouth of the 'hole', if it were not for Rhaegard's interference, it would devour the little snow ape as soon as the test was over to speed up the process of increasing its own strength.
Bending down slowly, Rhaeggar's hand rested lightly on the frightened young ape's head, "From now on," the geist said gently to the latter, "your name is Hel, and no one will be able to hurt you at will." ”
A dazzling white 'color' light lit up on both Rhaegar and the snow ape's body at the same time, filling the entire 'cave' in an instant, and after a few minutes, when the light disappeared, the little snow ape was already lying on the ground, falling into a deep sleep, and in this short time, it had increased in size by nearly a third.
Looking at the snow ape on the ground with satisfaction, a satisfied smile appeared on Rhaegar's lips - even in ancient times, it was difficult to find a snow ape with such an excellent bloodline, although the hybrid 'breeding' of generations has suppressed the bloodline inherited from its ancestors to a considerable extent, after awakening the potential in its body with the help of the contact just now, and implanting the power seed from himself, he believes that this divine beast will soon be reborn, and at that time, it will become his most powerful assistant after being branded with loyalty.
In the distant Age of the Gods, Rhaegar once had an army of all-snow apes, and this team, known as the Hammer of Judgment, was one of his most powerful arms, and when most of the gods were against him, they were the only ones who stood by his side with a handful of loyal companions. In that final battle, in order to save Rhaegar from the siege of the gods, these snow apes, who were only regarded as pets by the other gods, confirmed their loyalty with their lives, and it was at that time that Rhaegar, who was still the god of judgment, made an oath to his own soul that in return to his subordinates, he would do his best to protect all the snow apes that survived.
"Sleep well, my General," Rhaegar whispered to the sleeping little ape, who was now using his slumber to digest and absorb the power of the sudden surge, "and when you wake up, you will be the new commander of the Hammer of Judgment." "The geist flew out of the 'hole', and at the same time made a few gestures quickly, and a trace of power from the rules immediately covered this 'hole' and 'hole', and in the next hundred years, no one would be able to force their way into this place unless they had his permission or more than twice his strength. Then, after magically sealing the hole so that it no longer looked indistinguishable from the ground around it, Rhaegar left the valley that had once been inhabited by terrifying flying snakes.
For Rhaeggar, this was just a small 'episode' in the journey, and even he could not imagine how this subordinate he expected to be of some use in at least a hundred years would help him.
If the entire universe is regarded as a huge building, the mortal world, and countless worlds similar to its 'sexuality', are undoubtedly in the middle layer of this building—its upper level is the heavenly realm and other higher realms, and the lower level is the lower realm represented by the demon realm—and in all these worlds collectively called the intermediate realm, the endless sea has an extraordinary significance: about seventy percent of the intermediate realm is carried by this boundless sea.
No one knows where the true edge of the Endless Sea is, not even the gods, and finding an island in such an ocean is undoubtedly more difficult than fishing for a needle from the sea, despite the guidance from Cato's memories, after flying out of the continent and into the realm of the Endless Sea, Rhaegar still has to 'spend' a lot of time to find his goal.
The search lasted for nearly a month, and the geist traveled almost all the coastal waters in the eastern part of the continent from south to north, and finally, somewhere near the southeastern end of the continent, a small island surrounded by countless whirlpools caught Rhaegar's attention.
Viewed from the sky, this small island of about 500 square kilometers looks like a huge bird's egg, black 'colored' rocks are scattered all over the island without vegetation - about 40% of the total area, tall trees cover the rest of the island, in the jungle so dense that even the sun can not penetrate, bursts of powerful and violent energy 'waves' continue to radiate outward, declaring the sovereignty of this place to all creatures that approach the island.
While feeling this 'wave', Rhaegar was already sure that this was the target he was looking for. On the island that Cato called Blackstone, the beast suffered the worst defeat in its life, and if it hadn't escaped back to its space in time at the last minute, it would have been killed by the monster guarding the island, and since then, in the memory of the giant, Blackstone Island has become one of the absolute forbidden places.
But that's not what drew Rhaegar to this place, Cato's memories faithfully preserved everything about the monster, including its appearance and the breath it emitted, and it was for this reason that the geyrs had traveled thousands of miles to the island.
Taking a deep breath, Rhaegar stopped nearly two kilometers away from Blackstone Island, and the next moment, endless 'spirit' divine power rushed towards the small island rapidly, and everywhere he passed, the sky was lightning and thunder, and the sea water set off huge 'waves' one after another.
At the edge of the island, an invisible barrier blocked the advance of it and the sea water that was engulfed by it, and the terrifying 'waves' failed to leave any traces on this barrier, and the powerful 'spirit' impact only rippled on it, and then it was eliminated invisibly.
This result did not surprise Rhaegar who had mastered Cato's memories, and almost at the same time as he sent out the power of the 'spirit', the geist had already completed another spell, and when a huge figure flew up from the island and rushed out of the barrier with a roar, a dazzling aura appeared above the figure's head without warning, and enveloped its body before it could react.
The Aura of Imprisonment, a tenth-order magic, can imprison all activities of the person being hit, including the mind and soul, and in the hands of a forbidden mage like Rhaegar, the power of this spell is maximized, and even an existence like Cato cannot get rid of its shackles after being trapped.
The figure restrained by the surprise attack roared angrily, and only then did Rhaegar see the true face of this incredibly fast being: it was a creature that resembled a dragon, but much smaller, at most the size of a horse, its body had no scales, its gray skin was tough and smooth, and there was not a single wrinkle in sight, and on its inverted triangular head, three large eyes glowed with a reddish 'color', and at the tip of its long tail, long spikes exuded a biting chill. The imprisoning aura does not completely restrict the monster's activities, and despite the temporary loss of mobility, the monster's soul remains active.
