Chapter 480: The Human Heart

Char has given them as much a fair environment as possible, and the hardware attributes of the two sides have basically been equal.

But the next battle may have to rely on Gayward alone.

Char raised his hand, and a table and chair appeared beside Char, and a lot of fruit and tea appeared on the table.

He's a nightmare, and it's even easier to weave things in dreams than in reality.

He lifted the kettle on one side and poured some water on the teacup, then took a sip of the water and looked at the dragons scuffling together in the distance, Char's eyes flashed thoughtfully.

Nighold obviously didn't think there was another self in this world, so he didn't even react when Geward rushed up.

But as it approached, Nighold reacted, and with a roar, its dragon claws covered in a thick black mist, sideways dodged Geward's horn blow, and stabbed Geward's chest.

Geward raised his hand and grabbed Nighold's hand, and the two sides scuffled in the sky in a simple hand-to-hand fight.

Their strength is the same, their speed is the same, and even their strength is the same.

Nighold burrowed into the black fog, as if preparing to carry out a sneak attack like before, and who knew that Gaiward also burrowed into the black fog.

Some of the magic of the Dragon Society is not learned through professors, and these magic are usually passed down through bloodline, which is an experience only for the higher races.

They fight in the world of black mist.

When Char was in the real world, he could only see through Eagle Eyes, but now he is in the dream world, so he can also see what is happening in this black fog world through the power of dreams.

And on the frontal battlefield, one black mist after another gradually appeared, which was opened when the two sides were fighting.

They shuttled back and forth between the world of black fog and the dream world created by Char, and countless magical powers impacted the world below that was already on the verge of collapse, making the atmosphere of the apocalypse even stronger.

Soon, both sides jumped out of one of the black mist again, each with their own wounds, some scales ripped off alive, and blood dripping down the land that had become a sea of fire.

To be honest, if it were an ordinary person, he wouldn't know who these two dragons were at the moment, because in essence, there was no difference in appearance between the two people.

However, this is the dream realm established by Char, so Char can still separate the two people from the difference in the spiritual world.

Visibly annoyed, Nighold raised his chest and spat out a mouthful of rotten dragon breath.

A thick black mist rushed towards Gayward with a powerful corrosive force.

Gai Ward was not afraid at all, and directly spat out the dragon's breath to meet him.

The forces of the two sides collided in the air, and the black mist spread out in all directions, falling on the sea of corpses below.

These corpses were decaying at an alarming rate, and soon turned into countless white bones, some of which were even directly turned into bone meal, just like the white sand in the outside world.

A huge black mist spread across half of the sky, spreading the entire battlefield, and even the flames of the end were extinguished, plunging the heavens and the earth into darkness.

The strength of the two sides is comparable, and it is impossible to tell the winner from the loser.

"It's all taught by a master, and you can't break it."

And Char, who was watching the battle on the hillside in a corner, smiled and sighed.

Gai Ward's strength at the moment is equal to Nighod's, so if you want to distinguish the difference between the two sides, it is more about skill, experience, wisdom and luck.

However, Gaiward has only just used this body, so there will be a certain disadvantage in this situation.

He is not yet accustomed to using the body of a dragon in battle.

After this blow, Nighold roared, and a thick black fog quickly spread over its body, like a black night, and the stars shone in it, especially the eyes like magma.

The dragon spun and slammed straight into Gayward.

Gaiward raised his arm to resist, and the two sides collided together, and Gaiward was directly hit by this huge impact force and retreated for several kilometers.

Its wings flapped incessantly, and with a strong wind, it stopped in mid-air.

The dense fog with the characteristics of decay did not have much effect on Gaiward, who was also a black dragon, which was why Gaiward dared to resist head-on.

But Gaiward clearly didn't think through the gap between him and Nighod's use of the Black Dragon's powers.

As Gayward felt the force striking his arm vanish, a black mist suddenly appeared behind him before he could react.

In the mist, Nighod's dragon head, shrouded in black dragon breath, slammed directly into it, biting Geward's neck.

His Nighold body was still in front of Gayward, and it seemed that because of the black fog that shrouded him, he couldn't tell the difference between his head and his body.

Nighold, on the other hand, relied on the special space behind the fog gate to sneak attack directly from the rear of Gaiward.

By the time Gayward reacted, it was too late.

The sound of the scales breaking was tooth-aching, and blood was pouring out of his neck.

Dragon's teeth and scales are the most powerful destruction and defense known in the world, so the exchange between them is between the strongest spear and the strongest shield.

But it is clear that the results are already happening at this point.

Nighold bit a large piece of flesh directly on Geward's neck, and Geward endured the pain and broke free of Nighod directly, and quickly retreated a large distance with the dragon wing.

He had a very hideous wound on his neck, and a large piece of flesh was missing, which would be fatal for any human, but obviously not so fatal for a dragon.

Nighold chewed on the flesh he had bitten from Gayward and swallowed, then slowly revealed a hideous smile, his teeth still showing traces of blood.

"You're the one who wants to take my body, right?"

Gayward didn't speak.

Nighold looked around, "To be able to create such a world, and to have some power to control me, in a sense, you do have some abilities.

But it's too early to occupy my body just because of that! ”

Nighold raised his head, the black shadow of the dragon's wings behind him seemed to stretch longer, and then instantly rushed towards Gaverd in the distance.

Gaiward also roared and rushed forward, the speed of both sides was extremely fast, and even in the eyes of ordinary people, it was almost an afterimage.

It even caused a sonic boom because it was moving too fast.

But just as this explosion was over, another loud explosion was heard at the same time.

The two sides collided together, and the sound wave spread dozens of kilometers away, the earth trembled, the ground that was already on the verge of shattering let out a wail, and countless magma gushed out from the cracks!

The two sides began to wrestle in the air, and at first they were still evenly matched, and even if they were injured, Gaiward's combat power did not seem to have weakened much.

Suddenly, Nighod's tail flicked straight through the air.

Its tail was longer than that of a normal dragon, and its strong tail was flung like a whip at Gayward's body.

Gaiward was human, and it obviously took time for him to get used to this extra organ, and he obviously didn't think he could attack with his tail.

The whip slammed into his flank, knocking him to the ground, countless gravel filled the sky, the earth trembled slightly, and the giant crater in the state of cobwebs spread outward for several kilometers with the impact point as the center!

Gayward spat out a mouthful of blood, apparently not lightly.

But apparently Nighold won't wait for Gayward to react.

Black mist poured out of his mix, swirling to form a tornado, the sky was cloudy, and thunder and lightning shone in the storm, making a rumbling thunderous sound.

As it moved, the tornado grew larger and larger, and the spilling wind slammed into everything around it, and the bones of the earth were swept into the tornado, and the flames were blown high.

Even Char, who was far away from the battlefield, was blown by the wind and her hair fluttered.

The tornado made the noise of the end of the world even thicker.

But it was this catastrophic momentum that fell directly downwards and crashed into Gayward on the ground.

"Boom !!"

Torrents of energy poured down on the earth, and the earth cracked around the center of the impact, countless magma gushed out, large rocks bulged, and even the land plates that were already on the verge of collapse began to crack slowly because of this final blow.

By the time the fog cleared, a large chunk of Geward's chest had collapsed, but even so, Nighold still had no intention of stopping.

It knew the recovery power of its body, so it pressed on his body almost without any hesitation, bit his shoulder, and even began to eat his body directly.

Gayward had completely lost his ability to resist, and even his consciousness was gradually blurring with Nighold's bite.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Char sitting on a distant cliff drinking tea, he didn't make any movement, just quietly stared at everything in front of him, and his deep eyes flashed with an unknown light.

It's like saying that I've done everything I can and that this is your battle

But obviously, this battle of life and death, Gayward lost.

Merlin had tried his best to keep him on par with the strength of the monster in front of him.

But he was a mage after all, not even from Merlin Academy, and had no experience in close combat.

The battles he had experienced in his life were rarely in close combat, not to mention that it was still a strange body.

Suffice it to say, it's good that he's been able to fight Nighold for so long.

As his body was bitten, his consciousness became more and more blurred, and even began to appear as a marquee.

He thought he would think of his mother, but the rest of the picture came to his mind.

It was a long, long time ago, long back when he was still at Hogwarts.

The night sky at Hogwarts is beautiful, and the enchantments around Skye Island magnify the starry sky because of the astrology class.

Therefore, the stars under the Isle of Skye are very bright, and even the craters on the moon can be seen with the naked eye.

He had a secret base with Dumbledore on the roof of a tower somewhere.

It was a small attic under a roof, no one knew about it, and the entrance was so hidden that you had to walk through a magical painting.

There is a large slanted glass window, which is the perfect place for stargazing.

It wasn't until Geward became Hogwarts' teacher that he knew that it was a "little easter egg" deliberately left by the designer when designing, and there were at least dozens of such secret rooms throughout Hogwarts.

Of course, the place they discovered first naturally became their secret base

"Gay Ward, what are you calling me to this place for?"

Dumbledore climbed up from under the attic, confused.

The attic was neither tall nor too large, with a plush carpet and a table full of magic books, many drawings, and some astrolabes to assist in stargazing.

Gayward sat in front of the huge slanted window and looked at the starry sky.

They were all young, in their twenties, with no beards on their faces and no gray hair.

Due to the lack of teachers at Hogwarts at the time, both Gaward and Dumbledore were retained as teachers.

In just a few years, Dumbledore was quickly promoted to professor, and Gayward was still an associate professor because he had one less teaching assistant experience than him.

However, he has a good talent for languages, the quality of teaching is very high, and it is not boring, and many students are willing to take his classes.

Gayward pointed to the side of the table.

Dumbledore looked at the table on the side of him suspiciously, he walked slowly, there was a letter on it, he opened it and looked at it, then frowned.

"Letter of resignation?"

He looked at Gayward, "You're leaving Hogwarts?" ”

"The other day, it was my mother's memorial day." Geward looked at the starry sky above and whispered, "When I went to worship my mother, I tried to remember my mother's appearance, but I found that her appearance became more and more blurred in my mind. ”

"Time is a cruel thing, and it's slowly taking away the most important person in my heart."

He turned his head to look at Dumbledore, "Dumbledore, what are your ideals?" ”

"Ideal?" Dumbledore was silent for a moment, "I just want to stay at Hogwarts and teach my knowledge to these children, this is the best job for me." ”

Gayward smiled, "It does look like you." ”

"What about you?" Dumbledore asked, "What are your ideals?" ”

"My ideal." Gayward turned his head to look at the sky, "If my ideal is to create a world where all people are equal, where there is no war, no strife, and no one can stand on the head of others and dictate the fate of others by virtue of their strength and power, do you believe it?" ”

"I believe it." Without any hesitation, Dumbledore said, "What you say, you have never broken your word. ”

Gaiward smiled, "In this world, I guess you are the only one who believes in me so much." ”

"We're friends, aren't we?" Dumbledore said, "Of course friends trust each other unconditionally. ”

He slowly came to Gayward's side and sat down.

"But have you really figured it out? Not just anyone can become a Hogwarts teacher in the future, and you're already an associate professor now, so you're just one step away from being a professor. ”

Gaiward shook his head, "That's not what I wanted. ”

He slowly raised his head and looked at the starry sky above, "Can you believe it, Dumbledore?" In the future, there will be a war in this world, countless people will die on the battlefield, and countless children will lose their parents, their homes, and be displaced and suffer. ”

Dumbledore stared at Gaward silently, "Did you foresee something?" ”

He knew that Gayward had great powers of foreknowledge, and that he had the best grades in astrology when he was still in school, and even now he is substitute teaching astrology.

Gayward was speechless, but Dumbledore was incredibly sure Gaward must have foreseen something.

He thought for a moment before saying.

"If you have any trouble in the future, you can always come to me."

Gaiward smiled, "Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?" Merlin doesn't like us being too involved in the affairs of the world. ”

Dumbledore thought for a moment, then continued.

"Remember Mr. Stark's first flying competition?"

Without waiting for Gayward to reply, Dumbledore continued, "At that time, we secretly ran to Britannia halfway through the flight, and used our magic to teach those disgusting politicians and filthy wicked people a lesson. ”

"I think I'll never forget it." Gaiward laughed, "We've also been spotted by Merlin. ”

"It's good he didn't pursue us." Dumbledore rejoiced, "Otherwise, we probably wouldn't be able to talk here now." ”

"I was a teenager at the time, and I wasn't scared, and now I'm even less afraid." Dumbledore raised an eyebrow and said, "As long as you do the right thing, then I will always be by your side." ”

Gayward hooked the corners of his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Dumbledore looked at the silent Gaward, who in their communication was usually a gushing character and never entered into such silence.

He knew that his dear friend was going through some kind of choice in his heart, and it would determine the important choice of his entire life.

He suddenly spoke, "When I was studying magic some time ago, I learned a magic that can forge our blood into an unbreakable covenant."

Without waiting for Gayward to speak, he stood up and walked to the table to the side and picked up a silver bracelet.

In the wizarding world, rare metals such as gold and silver are very common materials, because of the good magic of these materials.

Then he picked up another piece of chalk from the corner of the table.

He came to Gayward's side, drew a circle of chalk on the ground, and placed the silver bracelet on it.

With the input of magic, the bracelet was transformed into a silver pendant, which was engraved with esoteric magic.

Dumbledore pulled a knife from his body and prepared to make a cut in his palm, but Gaivard stopped him.

"What are you doing?"

"Blending our blood together." Dumbledore said seriously, "This oath can be established, and legend has it that this is a blood pact between an ancient knight and a king, which means that it will never be betrayed." ”

"There's no need to do this magic." "The human heart can't be kept by magic, can it?" ”

Dumbledore thought for a moment, then nodded, "You're right,"

He put the knife back in its scabbard.

"I just want to tell you that no matter what happens in the future, I will definitely stand by your side."

Dumbledore said seriously, his words sincere.

"So, if you want to do something, do it."

Gayward stared at Dumbledore silently, still silent, and after a moment, he smiled, "Thank you, Abs. ”

He took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, "I have experienced a lot of pain in my life, but having a friend like you is one of the few lucky things in my life. ”

He took the knife from Dumbledore's hand and made a cut in his palm, blood pouring from the wound and dripping onto the pendant.

Then, he handed the knife to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore raised his hand to take the knife and slit his wrist as well, blood dripping onto the pendant.

As the blood of the two of them fused with each other, a huge magical power spread in all directions.

A noisy glow surrounded the pendant, and the garland floated, and eventually, the blood condensed into a crystal inside the silver pendant.

At this moment, both sides felt a magic enveloping each other.

This shows that this ancient covenant has been successfully established

Dumbledore looked at Gayward and motioned for him to take it.

Gayward also took the pendant that floated in the air, and clutched him in the palm of his hand

At that time, the reason why Gaward chose to sign a blood alliance with Dumbledore was not actually because he could never betray the other's magical constraints.

It's like people in ancient times who worshipped.

That pendant, in their hearts, was more symbolic than practical.

Later, it was exactly as he said.

The human heart cannot be preserved by magic. (End of chapter)
