Chapter 318 The Guardian Departing

"Quickly, I can't hold on much longer!"
┗|`o′|┛Aww~~!
The dragon roared furiously, but Luo Fan still didn't make a move.
"Master, what happened to that big guy?" Patty asked, but Luo Fan did not answer.
It seems to have been constantly tormented by that filthy energy. What were its feelings when it summoned itself in the first place?
Could it truly be the guardian of this world? But why is it so weak?
Also, was it because Ahri couldn't control her emotions that led to the destruction of that tribe?
After all, it truly loves this world!
Dragons are born from the earth's veins and have become essential for magical beasts to take human form.
I wonder if this is a form of irony.
"Master!" Patty's voice grew louder and louder, pulling him back to reality.
The giant dragon before him had broken free, its blood-red eyes staring intently at him. It no longer showed any signs of fatigue, as if it had become a different dragon, though its body remained weak.
That foul energy seemed to be blocked by some force, somewhat like a divine thought.
The dragon struggled frantically, its eyes bloodshot. It craved battle, it craved liberation, and it had come to hate its former friend who stood before it with intense hatred.
We should be able to call each other friends now, right? But it feels like it's only one side that's making the effort.
Luo Fan realized that his mind had completely lost its way. The dragon pounced in front of him, and the giant blade of time and space that had materialized in his hand finally made its move.
I simply cannot bear to see it lose itself and fall into endless desires.
The battle was not too complicated. Without even using magic, Luo Fan easily beheaded the dragon and took the still slightly pulsating dragon heart in his hand.
It was so weak that it actively rejected those external forces, ultimately leaving Luo Fan with a complete and pure heart.
Sigh, I owe it so much now!
Looking at the enormous heart in his hand, Luo Fan felt a profound sense of relief. From within the dragon's demonic core, a wisp of remnant soul struggled to escape, seemingly smiling at him.
Luo Fan casually imprisoned it in his own sea of consciousness, trying his best to prevent it from dissipating in the end.
It turns out that it was merely a wisp of soul born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the earth's veins, blessed by the world and growing by relying on this giant dragon. The initial summons was simply its way of perceiving the world.
In its memory, there seemed to be many scenes of summoning, though it didn't know where they came from. There was excitement, anger, regret, and despair.
Luo Fan collected as many fragments of its soul as possible, and even took out the dragon's wood-type magic core. After cleaning away all the filth, he only managed to create a fragmented soul.
Like a ball of yellow light, it had no form and was in danger of dissipating at any moment, slowly sinking into the bottom of Luo Fan's sea of consciousness.
"Master, why are you collecting this dragon's soul?" Patty didn't understand. Why did her master always like to throw these random things into her sea of consciousness? It was very dangerous.
"Patty, is there any hope for it?"
"I don't know either."
"Huh?" Patty asked in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
"Deep within the master's sea of consciousness lies a trace of origin that is very similar to it!"
Luo Fan quickly checked and found a very warm energy, but he didn't know when it had appeared.
"That's the blessing of this world! So the master is the legendary chosen one!" Patty blurted out, exclaiming in surprise at her discovery. She wondered how many generations of memories had been passed down to her that she still retained recollections of such a thing.
"The Chosen One?" Luo Fan immediately understood. He guessed that Patty had been influenced by something and had passed on the dragon's last message to him.
"Can that thing save it?" Knowing the reason, Luo Fan became even more anxious.
No wonder I've always had such good luck, while this guy is having such a terrible time; it turns out the reason is this.
If this can't be saved, Luo Fan feels he'll never be able to think clearly again. After all, this kind of favor is truly too difficult to repay.
“I don’t know either.” Patty thought back again, but the sudden inspiration from before was gone.
Luo Fan tried his best to gather those remnant souls, and finally used the spacetime inscription to completely fix them onto his divine sense, which alleviated the signs of the broken souls continuing to spread.
Since we can't find a solution in this world, let's go check out the upper realm.
It's just a soul; I don't want to owe it so much!
Just then, the figures of two demon lords appeared nearby: Pride and Envy. Envy, the demon lord, stared at the dead dragon, its shredded body and missing heart, and roared madly.
"Damn it, that's mine! Give me back my things!"
The dragon's body hadn't been completely corrupted by the primal power, so jealousy led to its imprisonment in this place. Unexpectedly, it was stolen in the end—by a level 110 slime!
Don't think that changing into human form will change your slime nature!
"Sorry, I've already absorbed it!"
Using the secret technique he had previously comprehended in the Enchanting Treasure of the Illusion, Luo Fan compressed the dragon heart, which was the size of a water vat, and wrapped it within his own magic core, using the Fountain of Life to maintain its vitality.
Looking at the lifeless dragon corpse, Luo Fan put away the wood-type magic core in his hand, which was still covered with dense runes.
"You thief, give it back!" The Demon King of Jealousy, drawing upon the surrounding primal energy, finally couldn't hold back and charged forward. The Demon King of Pride followed closely behind, unleashing his own domain.
It turns out that the Demon King of Envy was just a giant purple serpent. And that Arrogance was merely a four-winged fallen angel with black wings.
Huh, when did my intuition become so strong?
Seeing the Demon King about to pounce, Luo Fan lunged forward, slashing down with his giant blade.
Since my friend died because of you, then I'll send you two culprits to your graves!
As Luo Fan thought this, his attacks grew stronger and stronger. The so-called stagnation domain had almost no effect under the influence of his spacetime inscription.
Bang!
The giant shield that the giant snake had conjured was cleaved in two by Luo Fan, who almost managed to cut it in half as well.
Reverting to a humanoid form, the giant serpent was somewhat exasperated; she hadn't expected Luo Fan's attack power to be so formidable.
Immediately afterwards, the birdman, wielding a massive hammer, brought it down with the force of a thunderbolt, but Luo Fan easily dodged it.
"Xiao Lu, what exactly is that weapon? Why is it faster than you?!"
The snake woman finally couldn't hold back and roared. She originally thought that the two of them alone could deal with this bastard and bring him to the Blood Python God, but she didn't expect his strength to be so formidable.
"He also has a Time Inscription. I thought that even if he broke through level 100, he wouldn't be able to withstand the combined attack of the two of us."
The birdman returned to the snakeman's side, his expression somewhat solemn. Could it be that he really stole the tribulation lightning gift from those two guys?
When I fought him last time, I didn't think he was that strong!
Thinking this, the birdman took out a bottle of scarlet liquid, drank it down in one gulp, and his aura instantly surged.
After learning the specific reason, the snake-man was no longer as relaxed as before, and he also took out a special blood-red weapon.
Blood splattered everywhere.
They must win this battle!
