Chapter 96: No One Gets Away

Looking at the charred corpse on the ground.

Gunie, expressionless, struggled to pull the dagger from the skull.

Immediately, Blood Touch quickly extended and attached to the charred corpse of the Kukaron.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle...

The blood from the dead Kukaron was rapidly drawn over.

As the blood transformed, the horrific wound on Gunie's head healed at an astonishing speed.

The terrifying toughness of his body made Gunie completely unafraid of close-quarters assassination by transcendent assassins.

If they wanted a one-for-one trade at close range, it was always the other side that suffered a loss.

"This attack's power is truly formidable; it instantly broke through my two shields and helmet, and even pierced my skull. The lethality is beyond words."

"Unfortunately, I'm not an ordinary spellcaster; I'm a rare domain spellcaster. My soul can leave my body, and my head is not a vital point. Even if my head explodes, I can recover."

"The terrifying regenerative power of a Blood Curse Master is no joke."

Gunie quickly put away the Kukaron's corpse, now drained of blood.

Then, he glanced at the dimensional space.

With the Kukaron's death, the dimensional space was in a state of collapse.

Turning his hand, Gunie took out a long-distance teleportation scroll and quickly infused it with source energy.

Just as the dimensional space completely collapsed, Gunie was about to teleport away; otherwise, there were still five people waiting outside!

"Fortunately, my World Essence, when unfolded, could sense his position, so I prepared measures in advance for him to come close. If I hadn't known where and when he would strike, and if he had struck first, he might have escaped today."

"The perception and control of the entire world through World Essence is indeed powerful. When I reach the Grandmaster level and cultivate the 'Secret Pattern Incantation Codex' that can align with and manifest the Essence, my strength will reach another level."

Gunie mentally summarized this battle.

Rustle...

The moment the dimensional space imprisoning Gunie collapsed,

Gunie immediately activated the teleportation scroll that had already been infused with source energy.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of white light, and Gunie vanished.

With the flash of white light, Himer, the daughter of the Evil God, and Ashleigh and the others were startled.

Though it was just a fleeting glimpse,

they saw that the person was clearly not Kukaron.

Since it wasn't Kukaron, it must be the spellcaster Kukaron was targeting.

The spellcaster had escaped, and the dimensional space had collapsed.

Then what about Kukaron?

The group looked at the empty area.

There was no sign of Kukaron.

Shock and astonishment appeared on their faces.

Sixth rank against fourth rank.

Could it be...

Another one who didn't even leave a corpse?

...

As the white light landed,

Gunie quickly looked around.

This was a silent and cold dragon nest habitat, quiet and empty.

Gunie immediately entered stealth, then aligned with the Dark Essence fluctuation to enter concealment.

Then he hid in a corner, finally feeling relieved.

Gunie opened the system.

As the Adventure System page unfolded, Gunie roughly located his position.

Gunie was now inside a dragon nest on the side of the main passage where the three had passed earlier.

"It's far from the battle site; probably no one found me," Gunie thought.

"Earlier, when we three were hiding there, even though George disrupted our traces, those guys still tracked us down."

"Those foreign geniuses do have their methods."

"I just don't know if it was the ability of the guy I just killed."

"But regardless, with this clean kill and not even leaving a corpse, they might hesitate to continue the chase."

"That group found us earlier, probably not by following my trail."

"They were clearly tracking those two, yet I ended up covering the retreat." Gunie rubbed his temples.

"Good thing I escaped too, and now I'm separated from them. It gives me time to collect all those adventure treasures."

"Before that, there's one more thing I need to do."

Then, Gunie stood up and walked toward a very hidden spot indicated by the system.

In this Dragon Grave Land,

the Deep Source Anchor served as an energy extraction device.

But the use of the extracted energy was elsewhere.

That place happened to be near 'Adventure Three: Dragon Tooth Wand,' so it was marked as well.

Earlier, Gunie had been pondering whether to activate this thing.

Now it seemed necessary.

After all, no one would know it was him.

...

Half an hour later.

Following a rugged passage about five or six meters high inside the dragon nest, likely used by young dragons,

Gunie arrived at another relatively hidden, not too spacious small dragon nest.

This dragon nest was about the size of a village with thirty to fifty households.

After standing at a high point in this dragon nest,

Gunie's 'Eye of Fate' briefly opened and then closed.

After confirming no one was nearby,

Gunie turned around and approached a large sloping stone platform.

Pressing one palm against the sloping stone platform,

Gunie softly uttered a series of strange and bizarre 'Dragon Language syllables.'

Gunie had some knowledge of Dragon Language, but was not proficient.

In transcendent history, it was recorded that 'Dragon Language' was a more powerful language than 'Lan Emi Language.'

Dragon Language was a 'double-syllable runic language,' requiring great physical endurance and source energy consumption.

In contrast, Lan Emi Language was a 'single-syllable runic language,' placing much less strain on the soul and consuming less source energy.

Dragon Language was more suitable for dragons.

While Lan Emi Language was more suitable for humans.

Among humans, some studied the more powerful Dragon Language, and a few scholars were proficient in it.

Gunie knew very little Dragon Language.

At this moment, the system provided Gunie with a detailed sequence of Dragon Language for pronunciation.

Gunie only needed to follow the pronunciation and supply source energy.

After supplying a large amount of source energy and pronouncing over fifty syllables,

"Rumble..."

The entire vast underground Dragon Grave Land trembled slightly.

At the same time, a terrifyingly powerful binding force spread throughout the Dragon Grave Land.

...

"Rumble..."

Along with the rumbling and slight tremors, debris and small stones fell.

In the large passage, the five, including the Evil God's daughter,

looked around nervously.

If an earthquake occurred, it would be no joke.

Fortunately, the slight tremor came and went quickly.

It ended in just over ten seconds.

But when the tremor stopped, their expressions grew even more grim.

Because they felt an extraordinarily terrifying binding force completely enveloping the entire underground Dragon Grave.

The entire vast Dragon Grave Land seemed... completely sealed.

...

When the tremor stopped,

Siegfried the Dragon Slayer, who was with George, looked at the surrounding space with a very serious expression.

"George, it seems we're in big trouble."

"What?"

Feeling the overwhelming terrifying binding force gathering, Siegfried the Dragon Slayer's expression turned very ugly.

"The entire Dragon Grave seems to be sealed; my traversal ability... can't get out."

...

Feeling the terrifying binding force spreading,

the happiest was Gunie.

This binding switch could completely seal and imprison the entire Dragon Grave Land.

Not only was the entrance blocked, but even the Dragon Slayer's traversal ability and teleportation scrolls connecting to the outside world were all blocked.

At this moment, the Dragon Grave Land had become a sealed—dead end!

And only Gunie knew the switch.

"This time, unless you all die, no one gets out. That daughter of the Evil God, even if you starve, you'll die here," Gunie said with a light laugh.

Then, Gunie turned his head and looked at the binding seal beside him.

Sealed there was the Dragon Tooth Wand.
