Throughout the space, it seemed as if countless forces of contract were surging.
Like the power of the undead, the power of the contract is a law power that is completely different from the seven elements of the continent of primordial chaos. It comes from another plane and manifests itself through the form of magic.
As Isaac chanted, the knotted pendant on the brown-haired knight's chest suddenly shone brightly, and a wisp of golden energy, like a vine, emanated from the pendant and pierced straight into the silver ball in Richard's hand.
Suddenly, the dragon's roar from the silver sphere stopped abruptly, but as if in relay, it fired a powerful laser beam into the dark night sky above.
As if a fuse had been lit, at this moment, the phantom of a huge silver dragon slowly emerged from the ground of the entire Moonflower City, coiling around the magnificent pillar of light and rising slowly, finally dissipating into the endless night.
The dragon's roar lingered, its divine power vast and boundless. Magnificent and enchanting, its echoes resonated long afterward.
Such a sight is nothing short of a miracle.
This night, the eyes of the entire continent were destined to be focused on this place.
Everything finally returned to calm.
Noticing that the servant beside him was no longer drawing magic from his body, Yun Wei opened his eyes, only to see that the black patterns on Richard's hands were also peeling away and fading under the cleansing of golden energy, dissipating in the gradually calming wind.
The silver-haired youth stared blankly at his hands in disbelief, his silver eyes shimmering like a girl about to cry.
Richard said in a daze, "How is this possible... The contract that had clearly expired... was extended for another thousand years..."
Yun Wei: "..." He was completely bewildered and had no idea what had happened.
But then, through his hand clasped with Isaac's, he sensed the other man sway. He quickly looked at him and saw that the handsome knight's face was ashen, and his forehead was soaked with cold sweat.
The other person's broad chest was heaving, like an overheated furnace, but out of good manners, he forced himself not to let out a heavy sigh.
"Are you alright?" Yun Wei quickly helped the nearly exhausted follower up, asking with some concern. Isaac was completely drained of magic power and extremely weak. Yun Wei quickly stood still, preparing to transfer some of his own magic power to Isaac.
"It's alright, Yun. Phew, I... I'm fine." Isaac stopped Yun Wei's movements. His expression was unusually complicated, making it impossible to tell whether he was sad or happy.
"Tsk, what a show of bravado." Seeing the knight so weak, Richard, who had recovered, perked up. He slowly walked to the two of them, his silver eyes narrowing dangerously. "The pact I made with the Lord of the Abyss has been nullified by the oath between Dragon Island and the Temu Brown family."
"Although I don't know how you did it—perhaps everything has to be done in a first-come, first-served manner? After all, Temu Brown wants the dragons to protect the continent of Dimensions, while the Abyss desires to destroy the world."
“However,” he changed the subject, his tone still as flippant as ever, “you must, in any case, revive Lorenz within five years and drive the disgusting Naga race off Dragon Island.”
“Otherwise, the Tower of All Laws,” his silver eyes flashed, and he slowly added, “as well as the Temu Browne family, will suffer the backlash of the power of the contract.”
This is what he mentioned when renewing Isaac's contract. He had previously told Isaac that he needed to show sufficient sincerity from the other party.
Now, he has already placed the weights on one side of the scale. After all this fuss, he can finally sit back and reap the rewards.
For him, whether it's the Lord of the Abyss or Temu Brown, as long as it fulfills his desires, he is not picky.
Richard was in a good mood, seemingly having thrown away a hot potato.
No, once the eerie chanting stopped echoing in his mind, he felt much better, as if he had been reborn.
Looking at the familiar silver dragon before him, Yun Wei felt rather strange. But then he thought that perhaps the dragon was meant to be a neutral, chaotic being, since dragons didn't have the same concepts of good and evil as humans.
According to the other party, it was because Isaac had signed a new oath with the dragons, one that was opposed to the abyss, that Richard had regained his sanity under the constraints of the contract.
Although he still has many questions about this.
For example, the pendant Isaac wore on his chest...
For example, he still doesn't understand why a contract signed later can negate a deal that has already been made.
Yun Wei sighed inwardly. In any case, they had once again thwarted the crisis brought by the abyss.
While supporting Isaac, he said to Richard, "Don't be so happy yet. You know, I was really going to kill you just now. Be thankful that you were spared because of Isaac's mercy."
"And, now that we can finally sit down and have a proper conversation—"
"Richard, could you please tell me what the Abyss's terms of the deal you made?"
Richard's eyes widened suddenly when Yun Wei uttered the word "abyss".
At this moment, his silver eyes turned cold, and he spoke slowly and deliberately, "Little one, if you say that, I'm a little sad."
Their eyes met in mid-air, sparking a chilling flame.
The two on the stage refused to give way to each other, while the soldiers below were still in shock from the strange phenomenon that had just occurred.
The evening breeze was howling, the night was deep and the dew was heavy; only now did it resemble a normal autumn night, quiet, melancholic, desolate and solemn.
"Report!—"
A piercing scream echoed from afar, jolting everyone out of their near-death state.
A messenger, disheveled and in disarray, rushed up to the officers below the stage. His steps were hurried and heavy, each one seemingly striking the hearts of the crowd.
A sense of unease suddenly welled up in Yun Wei's heart.
"Lord Bob! Something terrible has happened! A large number of zombies have appeared outside the North Gate and are approaching Moonflower City—"
Upon hearing this, Yun Wei froze.
Yes, their academy's formation was just one of the many defensive forces sent out of the city. Even if they and Bishop Nicholas's team successfully completed their mission, it was difficult to guarantee that other fronts would proceed as smoothly.
Isaac gently rubbed his palm, trying to calm him down.
But the captain of the guard, named Bob, was extremely impatient and interrupted the messenger's anxious shouts.
His reddish-brown beard twitched as he angrily rebuked, "What zombies? Can't you see we're dealing with that evil dragon? If you're having nightmares, go find your mother and ask for milk!"
"But, but..." The messenger opened his mouth, about to say something, but was whipped to the ground by Bob.
Then, Bob raised the tip of his whip, pointing it at Yun Wei and the other two, "Everyone, listen to my command, prepare your combat skills!"
At his command, the soldiers below, who had been silently waiting, simultaneously gathered seven-colored battle aura at the tips of their weapons, as if hundreds of different combat techniques would be unleashed upon the three men on the stage in the next instant.
“…” Yun Wei cursed under his breath, raising his arms, ready to repeat his old trick—
However, he was immediately stunned.
His gaze passed through the still-forming azure magic circle and saw that below the steps, all the battle aura light suddenly went out.
It was like an invisible torrent of water being poured onto a bonfire, or like a giant hand suddenly gripping the throat of a crowing rooster.
Those various forms of battle energy, still in the preparation stage, were silently dissipated by someone in the blink of an eye.
Everyone was stunned.
The scene fell silent again, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
At that moment, an aged voice slowly rang out, weathered and solemn, wise and stern, carrying an unquestionable aura:
"Who gave you the audacity to draw your swords against my students in the Lunagal Academy?"
