Chapter 114: Origin

Zoe Dahl let out a heavy sigh, the smell of rust lingering in his nose and mouth. The damage caused by the hammerback's tail scraping its back was severe, and he vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, which may have broken a little and bleed internally, but the reason why he was still able to struggle to climb up the altar was because the knight Lantis helped him block eighty percent of the impact.

So now the man was lying like a broken doll in the small entrance, while he could still squirm on the ground.

The hammerspine has been swallowed by its own last chant of infernal lava, a powerful spell that combines fire and earth magic to form a twenty-foot lava swamp in designated places, trap creatures in it, and reseal it. The heat can kill most creatures, not to mention that the rock that has re-solidified after the most is like a coffin that locks the prey trapped in it.

Lanti's twin sister Agati - who is also the healer of the team - can only follow the archer Wilder and the thief Ledo after the ground heat has retreated, so neither herself nor Landis has anyone to treat them when they rush over first. After dozens of encounters with the monsters, the original expedition of more than 30 people remained. If this altar in front of them is not the correct summoning table, their remaining strength will not be able to support the next altar.

Zoe adjusted her breathing, holding her breath each time she moved, and then exhaling it when she stopped, which seemed to relieve the pain of moving a little. There were only two floors left in front of me, and there were only seven steps left, and I actually climbed it by myself for a few minutes. At this time, he hated the mage's fragile body. If he had half the strength of Landis, he wouldn't have been injured so much, and he would have struggled.

The huge blue-black rock altar was right in front of you, devoid of ornamentation, except for the tangled roots of the trees hanging down from the top of the cave, as if some special wall shrouded the altar. The silky silk of the fluorescent fishing spider resembles the new branches of a weeping willow, soft and clear, and gently flutters with the warm wind that blows through the cave from time to time, forming the only source of light here.

In the hazy powder-blue light, this altar was no different from the thirteen that had been found before. Zoe's heart sank. Could it be that this worst chance has also failed?

He struggled to grasp the edge of the altar and pulled himself up, half of his body slamming down on the rock, the displacement of his ribs squeezing out a mouthful of frothy blood. He didn't recover for a long time, and could only lie motionless on the stone. Wait for the vertigo to pass from the mind.

However, just as he regained his strength. The blood-soaked rocks began to glow faintly. Tiny silvery-white filaments resembling plant rhizomes extend from the edges of the bloodstain in all directions. Soon it covered the entire altar like hyphae.

"Hey!how's it going?" Lantis's painful voice floated from below, and the knight, who seemed to have lost consciousness from the blow, finally woke up, and Zoe rolled her eyes to glance at her companion, Rantis Burmington, who was more than twenty feet away. He is also the leader of this expedition. At this moment, he had just rolled over from the ground and sat up, the plate armor on his chest was all dented, and there were still a few holes. After all, the hammerback's tail is like a mace with sharp horns, which can penetrate even metal under heavy blows.

Zoe saw that Landis wanted to stand up several times, but he fell back with his chest and abdomen in his hands, and felt a lot more relieved. Very good, so that no one will come to rob him of his credit, and if he really summons the Divine Dragon, he must become the Divine Dragon's contractor. That shitty prince of Hovland, born the chosen one, the heir to the elven bloodline...... All the aura, when you get the Divine Dragon Contract, will be trampled under your feet.

At the thought of this, he couldn't help but crack his mouth and smile.

"I can still move...... As if this is true, you are too badly injured, don't move, lest it worsen the injury, Miss Agati will blame me......" Zoe pulled out her secret scroll and loudly comforted Lantis. He knew that Randis also had a summoning scroll, a so-called family inheritance that seemed to have been passed down from generation to generation by the Hovlands or by their elven relatives.

But no one knows that the Gadar family was also a Chosen Family in the past, although it was constantly weakened by wars, intra-clan divisions, natural and man-made disasters, etc., and lost its former influence, but Zoe, as the illegitimate son of a branch of the Gadar family, still has some ancient and precious things in his hands.

The torn silk was reglued back together with a thicker piece of satin, and the spells and patterns on it were a little blurry, but it didn't matter, Zoe had simulated it thousands of times in his mind, and he knew how to fix the missing parts, after all, the stupid Captain Landis had shown the scroll summoning the dragon to the team many times.

Through the comparison of two very similar scrolls, Zoe knows how to fill in the gaps in this one. He looked carefully at the pattern on the altar derived from the silver-white mycelium grown from his own blood, and sure enough, it was exactly the same pattern as the one drawn on the scroll.

"El...... Thayer...... Modir Daru ...... Kaja ...... Arms ...... Lantilde ...... "Seeing that the pattern of the summoning array was about to be completed, Zoe immediately began to chant the incantation on the scroll loudly. The real spells were written in words he didn't know at all, and each word consisted of six squares, long and short strips that were not repeated at all. Luckily, though, there is a pronunciation in the ancient feather language underneath those strange squares. Zoe's face twisted and smiled, he had spent ten years of his thirty-nine-year-old career learning this ancient and obscure language, just to be able to use it today.

"Zoe, what are you doing? No...... Stop! Don't summon, there's still a step to be done!" Rantis screamed nervously at the incantation of his mage comrade, though it caused a pain in his chest that caused him to choke violently.

Zoe sneered in her heart, would anyone be fooled by such a simple trick? At this moment, seeing that the summoning ceremony was about to be completed, he would be stupid to believe Lantis's words.

"Amo...... Salar ...... Dakamuxi ...... Iluvadal ...... Tam...... Savaika ...... "He ignored Lantis' call and read the incantation intently. This strange spell is so awkward to pronounce it, and even though I have practiced it many times, I still sometimes feel that my tongue cannot bend it.

"No!! don't do that!To summon the Starlight Dragon, you must first take out the corresponding token, without the token, you will summon one of the Seven Divine Dragons at random......" Landis struggled to get up from the ground, he used his dagger to cut the tether of his plate armor, broke free from the twisted and deformed breastplate, and staggered to the altar not far away.

Zoe nervously raised her eyes and glanced at him, after removing her armor. A mess could be seen on the man's strong chest. Blood soaked through his clothes, and new blood was squeezed out of the flesh as he walked. And the other party walked faster and faster as if he didn't feel pain.

Rantis took a bag from his waist and tore open the burlap outside. The contents of the contents were revealed. It was a white box. However, he was immediately stained red by the blood on Landis's hands.

"This! are the scales left behind by the Starlight Dragon. You must use this token to summon the right dragon!" his hand, which had always been steady, trembled slightly from the severe injury, pain, and blood loss. But the eyes that looked at Zoe were firm and sincere, as always.

Zoe saw anxiety and worry in his eyes, but not suspicion and anger, and he didn't seem to understand how incredible it was that he was snatching this supreme glory and instead intended to contribute to his victory. Growing up among the elves who don't eat the fireworks of the world, don't you have no desires for this man's head?

"Saraka...... Amida...... Maca ...... Musatiyah ...... Rabada!" However, it was too late, and Zoe recited the entire summoning spell with her usual rhythm and speed. A playful smile appeared on his upright face, and he happily said to Landis, who finally threw himself in front of the altar, "I'm sorry...... It's too late. This dragon is mine!"

Rantis's bloodied face, pale and frightened, opened the box and placed the star-shaped translucent white scales in the center of the altar. The silvery-white mycelium does have a circular cavity there, which seems to be for people to put something in. At this moment, after the scales were put up, there was no change at all.

"Damn! Accept!" Rantis let out a rare foul mouth, cursing and slapping the altar hard, the metal gauntlet slamming against the rock with a dull thud. And this sound was like some signal, and suddenly the wind blew in all directions towards the top of the altar. All the roots and silk were swept to the top of the cavern by the sudden whirlwind of the chamber.

As Landis and Zoe watched, the roof of the cave, which was originally made of rocks and tree roots, was gradually replaced by a chaotic spiral of air, and in the center of the spiral, a large hole darker than black was gradually forming.

Zoe was gradually carried up by the gust of wind, and although he tried to grab the altar, the nails of both hands were turned open by the force, but the increasing suction still carried him into the air.

Landis didn't hesitate to reach out and grab his arm, because the knight's armor was already heavy, and Landis was also a strong warrior, so the gale hadn't affected him too much so far.

"Damn, hurry up and close the summoning array, before you know what to do!" the angry knight roared at the mage, "Use your blood to erase half of the circle, as long as the dragon doesn't come, we still have a chance!"

Zoe looked at this teammate who had been with her for two and a half years, and wondered in her heart, why didn't this person understand what kind of person she was?

"No...... This is my dragon, and I won't give up on any of them. The mage's heart felt a powerful magic call, and he knew that the encounter he had been looking forward to for a lifetime was coming. Then, he resolutely broke free from Lantis's blood-soaked hands, allowing the wind to wrench itself into the chaos. (To be continued......)

Parting is just around the corner, and victory is clearly in sight, but you still have to let go of those things that make you deeply nostalgic. When he thought so, Reseth's emotions gently leaned up, pestering him and soothing his loneliness.

"You are not alone, you will be a part of me from now on. You will join me for eternity and start a new life. The young dragon whispered.
