Chapter 2216

Chapter 2216Upon seeing the glowing dragon, everyone tensed up.
No one knew what was happening, and they were afraid that Jagoan’s move might have activated
another arcane array. Jagoan, on the contrary, didn’t seem to share the same concerns. After seeing
the dragon light up, he hurriedly turned around and touched another pillar.
Sure enough, the dragon’s eyes on that pillar started glowing too.
With that, Jagoan rushed off to touch the rest of the pillars.
By the time he was done, the entire area was awash with light, and a dragon had gradually formed mid-
air.
Everyone was taken aback at the sight of the massive dragon.
Boom!
The next second, the entire square shook, and the stone door behind them closed almost immediately.
Just like that, escape was no longer an option.
novelbin“What the f*ck are you doing, Jagoan? Are you trying to kill us all?” Emiliano bellowed.
Jagoan, however, couldn’t be bothered with him. He stared dazedly at the dragon before levitating
himself till he was eye to eye with it.
He slowly stretched his hand out to touch the dragon, but before he could, the creature let out an ear-
splitting roar that hit him with a powerful blast. Jagoan was instantly tossed like a rag doll till he
slammed against the stone wall and fell to the ground.“Mr. Chance…” Skyler muttered as she ran up to the man, only to see blood trickling down the corner
of his mouth.
Everyone knew how formidable Jagoan’s body was, yet a mere roar from the dragon had dealt him so
much damage. Even as anxiety surged, Emiliano, Avery, and the rest of the group went on high alert to
ensure they were safe from the dragon.
The square shook even more violently, to the point where the eighteen stone pillars began collapsing
one after another.
Within seconds, clouds of sand and dust engulfed the area while shattered rocks flew everywhere,
sending everyone dodging the falling debris and running for their lives.
Afterward, the giant dragon let out another roar before swooping down from mid-air. It slammed its
body into the ground, which resulted in an immediate surface collapse.
The powerful blast almost knocked everyone out, and by the time they refocused their gaze on the
center of the square, the dragon had already vanished, leaving behind a dark underground tunnel.
There seemed to be no end to the tunnel, and given that it was shrouded in pitch darkness, it felt very
much like a descent to the depths of hell.
Everyone stared at the tunnel, at a loss for what to do next. One thing was for sure, no one dared to
take the first step because who knew what’d await them in the abyss?
Jagoan stared into the tunnel and promptly conjured a flame in his hand that illuminated the entire
space. Now that there was light, he walked bravely into it, determined not to let anything stand in his
way of achieving his goal.Skyler and Luol followed closely behind Jagoan, but Avery and Emiliano remained outside. Try as they
might, they still couldn’t decide if they should follow suit.
Their hearts were still thumping away after the encounter with the giant dragon, and they were deathly
afraid of what’d happen if the creature were to barge into the tunnel. There was no way they’d make it
out alive.
“Avery, why aren’t you going in?” Emiliano asked.
“Why aren’t you going in?” Avery retorted.
“Look how tight the tunnel is. If it’s littered with traps and arcane arrays, there’s no way we’ll be able to
escape! That’s why I think it’s better to be more prudent,” Emiliano replied.
“You’re not the only one who’s afraid of death…” Avery muttered as he rolled her eyes at the man.
“Let’s wait it out, then. I don’t hear anything yet, so let them venture further…”
After waiting for a while and realizing there wasn’t any commotion in the tunnel, Emiliano and Avery
finally decided to enter with their teams.
Meanwhile, Jagoan continued leading the way with Skyler and Luol in tow. Although the tunnel was
small and cramped, everyone was thankful for the absence of booby traps and arcane arrays.
