Ashen Dragon-Chapter 216 - 141: The Arrival of the Red Dragon

Chapter 216: Chapter 141: The Arrival of the Red Dragon

Vagnard took a step forward, teleporting to Ramp’s front in an instant, bypassing the mirror-like barrier, and gently tapping the medal on his chest.

A powerful spiritual force instantly enveloped Ramp.

[Domination of Humans]

But under that force, Ramp’s expression remained unchanged. He showed no reaction, even swinging his Magic Wand to cast a Fireball Technique.

Faced with the incoming fireball, Vagnard summoned a black Energy Shield, once again extinguishing the fireball completely. The voice of Vagnard from behind the black veil first sounded somewhat surprised, then it became excited.

“I understand now.”

“Ha ha ha ha, you aren’t human. So, you aren’t human after all!”

Ramp’s disguise was merely a ploy to waste Vagnard’s spell slots, knowing that [Domination of Humans] was frequently used by him.

Seeing his true identity exposed, the ogre mage roared angrily, instantly tearing apart his disguise and revealing his grotesque true form.

Suddenly, the corridor darkened, and the massive shadow nearly covered Vagnard.

A six-meter-tall Dragon Vein Ogre stood in the dim tunnel, its massive and solid body covered with dragon scales. Sharp bone spurs protruded from its knees, elbows, and back. Even tiny, bone-white horns had sprouted from its forehead, and the snout of its ugly face jutted forward unnaturally.

“After being bound for so long, I can finally unleash it. Let me kill you!”

Ramp looked down at Vagnard condescendingly, spewing out two plumes of thick, sulfurous smoke from his nostrils. The Magic Wand in his hand glowed with intertwined scorching and emerald yellow flames, smashing down towards Vagnard’s head—that was [Magic-infused Weapon] and [Emerald Flame Sword].

For some reason, Vagnard gazed dumbfoundedly at Ramp, not making any effort to dodge.

The magical flames’ spell struck him on the head harshly. [Trigger Spell] linked with [Orthluck Elastic Sphere], and a glowing spherical Force Field appeared instantaneously, repelling Ramp’s Magic Wand and shielding Vagnard within.

Ramp was bounced back by the counterforce, his massive body crashing to the ground with a thunderous noise.

But Vagnard remained fixated on him, as if he were admiring a fine piece of art, muttering under his breath, “I finally found it. I found the perfect creation.”

He then trembled all over, covered his face, and laughed maniacally.

“Ha ha ha ha, it’s not some intangible, elusive thing. It is, indeed, a perfect creation.”

“You must not be one of those so-called ‘players,’ right?”

The Dragon Vein Ogre Ramp, seeing the greed and desire in Vagnard’s eyes instead of fear, felt an indescribable, nameless fury surge within him.

Ramp gritted his teeth and said, “Turns out you’re just a madman…”

But Vagnard was inside the Force Field Orb. Without a spell like Disintegrate, it was difficult to break through, even Ramp couldn’t do anything to him for the moment.

After a while, Vagnard finally made another move.

He casually dispelled the [Orthluck Elastic Sphere] around him, and surprisingly, he staggered directly towards Ramp.

Ramp couldn’t help but glance at the nearby Catastrophic Dragon Eye, only to see himself immobilized by a spell. He hurriedly waved his Magic Wand, attempting to use a Counterspell in advance, but Vagnard gave him no chance, releasing a purple spell beam with a slight hand motion.

[Hold Monster]

The spell’s intensity was extremely high, and as the beam hit Ramp, it spread across his entire body, forming a flashing light membrane. The Dragon Vein Ogre’s massive frame froze in place, maintaining the posture of attempting to cast a spell.

Vagnard strolled forward slowly, laughing wildly, his mouth nearly splitting to his ears.

He hovered beside the ogre, whispering softly:

“My precious experimental subject, did you think I only had spells to control humans?”

“I’ve conducted thousands of dragonification experiments. As the ‘Dragon Fan Black Wizard,’ I’m best at controlling monsters like you—”

“Crack… crack…”

A faint cracking sound emerged.

“Oh?”

A tinge of surprise flashed across Vagnard’s face.

The light membrane around Ramp shattered suddenly, and a skull on his body automatically released [Dispel Magic] upon detecting that his body was under control.

“Die!”

Free from the binding, the Dragon Vein Ogre roared, spewing out several scorching fireballs. The erratic fireballs came from various directions, aiming to incinerate the nearby, unprepared Vagnard into charcoal. At the same time, the ogre’s Magic Wand struck forward, targeting Vagnard’s head.

Facing this sudden, overwhelming assault, Vagnard disappeared from the spot unhurriedly, leaving behind a silver-white mist.

From a distance, he grinned at Ramp, lifting his hand lightly.

[Draconic Binding]

Countless chains, shaped like giant dragon limbs, rose from the ground.

That was a Seventh Tier spell. Dispel Magic and Spell Nullification Barrier were useless against it.

Unexpectedly, Ramp’s Magic Wand, as if premeditated, redirected towards Vagnard, and his necklace, [Bennett’s Wisdom], emitted a faint purple spell beam.

[Hold Monster]

But this time, it was Ramp who cast the spell.

And just as the beam was unleashed, Ramp was restrained by [Draconic Binding], bound tightly in place, unable to move. The chain-like appendages, resembling giant dragon limbs, writhed greedily over his massive body, seemingly absorbing the Dragon Vein Ogre’s dragon blood to sustain themselves.

However, Ramp’s Hold Monster spell also struck Vagnard, freezing him in place.

But at the last moment before he was immobilized, the Black Wizard’s eyes still showed a disdainful, provocative look, as if saying, “What can you do to me?”

One needed to know that Hold Monster required sustained spell concentration. As long as Ramp couldn’t maintain his focus on the spell, its effect would soon diminish.

But [Draconic Binding], being a spell specially crafted by Vagnard to target Dragon Vein Monsters, behaved like a living organism, continuously draining dragon blood from the target to sustain itself.

From this “Dragon Fan Black Wizard’s” perspective, this mutual exchange of blood clearly placed him at a significant advantage, smug old Vagnard thought.

In this brief moment, the light membrane of the immobilization spell on Vagnard, which required no concentration to maintain, was already showing cracks and was about to break, freeing him from the spell’s control.

But Vagnard did not know that, just before being bound, Ramp’s face had also shown a dark smile of a plan coming to fruition.

He still had [Catastrophic Dragon Eye]!

Vagnard had only thought that the floating eye was a divination spell cast by Ramp, which he could handle when binding the ogre.

But he never imagined that the true owner of the [Catastrophic Dragon Eye] was Cassius, far away, observing everything through the eye.

And Cassius had been waiting for this moment!

Instantly, blazing light erupted from the pair of invisible eyes hovering in the air, releasing the immense elemental power stored within!

“Boom—”

A pillar of blazing white fire surged out, rushing towards Vagnard’s momentarily immobilized head!

[Enhanced Flame Breath]

At the same time, a giant claw covered in red scales tore through the space, creating a nearly ten-meter-long spatial rift with flaming edges.

Cassius’s massive, menacing dragon head emerged from it.

“Roar—”
