Chapter 531: Deception

"Is it an illusion?"

Adrianna quickly understood what was happening, shifting its gaze to Angela Medici. This girl had never played any role before, and her class level of only twelve had caused the Calamity Fire Dragon Lady to instinctively ignore her existence.

But now this young girl had resolved its greatest reliance in the Dragon Tomb.

Presumably, in the senses of those 'Dragon Tomb Guardians,' all three of them were indistinguishable from true dragons.

So Adrianna did not hesitate and shifted its main target again. It had to kill that girl as quickly as possible, before Andre and Hailuo finished it off.

"The battle is already over, Lady Calamity Fire Dragon—"

Li Mochen shook his head. Behind him, the 'Yin-Yang Life-Death Mirror' had now appeared, blasting a beam of black-and-white light onto Adrianna.

And Angela's figure was instantly teleported away by him using the Star Leap Technique.

Adrianna initially did not understand, thinking Li Mochen was again using temporal power to interfere. But then it discovered that the abundant life force within its own body, as well as in the 'Holy Shroud,' was erupting uncontrollably! At the same time, the vast holy light burst forth, also uncontrollably shrouding the void for several li around.

"Authority over Life and Death?"

Adrianna was horrified, even its roar changing in tone.

And the next fatal danger came not from the enemy opposite, but from those 'Dragon Tomb Guardians.' These giant bone dragons all attacked it almost simultaneously.

Powers of void, earth, wood, water, fire, light, darkness, soul, vibration, thunder, and more all descended upon its body in the next moment, along with twenty-three dragon claws striking down, leaving it no room to dodge, directly breaking its bones and severely injuring its internal organs.

It felt like an ordinary person being trampled by more than twenty elephants at once, leaving Adrianna mortally wounded in an instant.

"No, this is impossible—"

Adrianna's face twisted, and it cast a venomous glare at Angela Medici. It was the latter's illusion that had guided the situation, making these 'Dragon Tomb Guardians' believe it was an intruder with holy light power, so they struck to kill.

These most ancient dragon liches had accumulated immense power over hundreds of thousands of years, but their intellect had been worn away by time, leaving them easily deceived by this girl.

And beside the girl, Li Mochen let out a soft laugh.

"I told you, the battle is already over, Lady Calamity Fire Dragon!"

These were the last words Adrianna heard. A skeletal dragon claw fiercely grabbed into its skull. The purple lightning attached to it also tore apart Adrianna's soul at that moment.

And the moment the Calamity Fire Dragon Lady fell, its blood flowed like streams toward Hailuo Willtenstein, absorbed into the girl's body; its soul fragments also drifted over bit by bit, gradually merging into Hailuo's spirit.

The rebirth egg that the Calamity Fire Dragon Lady had left in Hailuo's body now acted like a stable anchor, attracting everything of Adrianna.

About five minutes later, the place had returned to calm.

Those 'Dragon Tomb Guardians' had all left one after another. Li Mochen stood beside the meditating Hailuo, holding the 'Holy Shroud of Simon Peter' and a broken blade, examining them carefully.

The former was actually a 'quasi-divine artifact,' its main function being sealing, specifically internal sealing. But after Simon Peter's death, this object sealed Simon Peter's complete divinity, divine fire, and the two powerful authorities of Life and Light.

And if the 'Holy Shroud of Simon Peter' were worn in reverse, this 'quasi-divine artifact' also possessed some defensive capability.

Li Mochen guessed that before his death, this first apostle had combat power surpassing that of a lesser god, so the divine authority power sealed inside was exceptionally strong.

Thus, although it was only a quasi-divine artifact, it could be used as a powerful mythical armament, its rank only two levels lower than the currently incomplete Scarlet Dragon Armor.

Unfortunately, Li Mochen and his people could not use this item. The shroud contained the will of Simon Peter—a being who had already become an archangel in the Heavenly Kingdom.

Only with his recognition could one wield the power left in the shroud. Otherwise, one could only use the shroud's endless life force to recover from injuries, like the Calamity Fire Dragon Lady Adrianna. Of course, that ability was also very powerful.

As for the broken blade, it should be the historically famous 'Blade of Time,' a revenge divine artifact forged by the Assassin Brotherhood.

The Assassin Brotherhood originated from the 'Knights Templar.' After this organization, which held immense wealth and power in the Middle Ages, was destroyed by Pope Clement V and Philip IV, its survivors and descendants swore revenge. They exhausted all their resources, investing a great deal of wealth to forge this divine artifact to fight against the Papacy.

It was said that the independence of the Protestant churches and the separation of the Old Continent nations from the shadow of the Papacy all stemmed from the Assassin Brotherhood's frantic revenge against the Papacy and the Capetian dynasty.

But the Assassin Brotherhood was ultimately destroyed, and the powerful divine artifact 'Blade of Time' was shattered. It was said to have been broken into three pieces, and what Li Mochen held was only one of them.

Li Mochen was reluctant to put it down, overjoyed.

Although this was only a fragment, its owner could still use a part of its power.

In the hands of the Calamity Fire Dragon Lady Adrianna, she could only use it to borrow the power of the 'Blade of Time' from a past time, relying on a portrait she had commissioned.

But in Li Mochen's hands, this item could play a much greater role. He could freeze time, though only for 0.01 seconds, and also perform small-scale time reversal.

But these abilities were already enough to decide a battle. Especially for a powerful sniper, this item was equivalent to a mythical piece of equipment.

"If you're done playing, can you come help me deal with this dragon corpse?"

Just as Li Mochen was eager to find a target to test it on, Angela, standing not far away with her arms crossed, stared at him with dissatisfaction.

Li Mochen smiled sheepishly and flashed over to join Angela in handling Adrianna's corpse.

The latter's dragon corpse was incomplete; its eyes, nose, and some internal organs had been made into the Seven Apostles. However, the demigod dragon's dragon crystal was still immensely valuable, and its scales, dragon hide, claws, teeth, dragon horns, dragon tendons, etc., were all quasi-mythical materials.

Just as Li Mochen and the others finished processing the dragon corpse, Hailuo woke up.

Li Mochen and Angela immediately looked at her, their eyes full of anticipation.

"How do you feel, Hailuo?"

"Great!"

Hailuo raised her head, her face full of radiant smiles: "Unlike before, I feel that the source of power is truly inside me, not elsewhere. But I think I'll need to train hard for a while to adapt. Adrianna's full strength was at least sixty percent more than mine before. I'll also need a lot of precious medicinal herbs. Adrianna's essence can further strengthen my physique, but that requires a lot of nourishment."
