Chapter 32: Disaster Strikes

On the way back to the Kingdom of Dunmei, something strange happened in the the Corayo Mountains, which was located in the southern part of Dunmei.

A huge and complicated black magic array formed a cloud of darkness above the entire area. As more and more energy was absorbed by the magic array, the entire Corayo Mountains were enveloped in black light. Dark clouds covered the sky, blocking out the sun. The black light from the mountain enveloped the entirety of the Dunmei Kingdom.

High up in the sky, Locke was still on his way back. He was still half an hour’s journey away from the Kingdom of Dunmei. Shocked by the black light, he quickly stood up on the steel dragon’s back. Locke sensed an ominous aura when he saw the black light in the mountains. He immediately used his magic communication device to contact Green. Suddenly, a magic wave struck them, and his connection device failed.

Clifford was shaken awake by magic wave and immediately leaned towards Locke.

“What happened?”

Locke pointed at the distant mountains and said, “Something big seems to have happened over there!”

Clifford immediately cast vision magic on his eyes, and he soon knew what had happened!

“This is a large-scale magic summoning array, one of the forbidden spells! Through the mountains of dark element ores, someone is summoning monsters from the abyss. I believe they are summoning the army of Death Destroyers in the abyss! They are all dead creatures from the abyss! We need to hurry back immediately. Something big is about to happen in the Kingdom of Dunmei!”

Upon hearing this, Locke immediately stopped circling around and commanded the dragon to charge toward the Kingdom of Dunmei. Due to the urgency of the situation, Locke could not care so much anymore. He activated extreme speed mode, and they reached the Kingdom of Dunmei in half an hour.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Locke had Elijah Smythe immediately arrange for Princess Vicki to check into a hotel. The two of them then hurried to the Dark Blade Dragons branch located in the capital city.

When he opened the door to the office, there were already many people inside. Locke’s first reaction was that these people looked extremely dangerous! Through the dim light in the room, Locke could see the team emblem on their chests.

“Captain of Team 12, Captain of Team 9!”

The leader of Team 12 was a very young and beautiful woman. Two large breasts hung on her chest like honey melons. However, despite her beauty, she seemed extremely alert. Locke’s sixth sense told him that approaching this woman could mean death.

Seeing Locke arrive, Green immediately said, “Haven’t you seen the situation in the mountains south of the Kingdom of Dunmei? We haven’t found anything yet, because our dragons were not able to enter that area!”

This question seemed to be directed at him, but Green wasn’t looking at him.

Upon hearing this, Clifford immediately stepped forward and explained, “This is a super-grade forbidden spell. This magic spell is triggered by using large amounts of living creatures and dark ores! If the spell is successful, one can summon abyssal creatures! When we passed by the mountains, we saw that most of the undead creatures summoned by the magic array were Death Destroyers from the abyss!”

Hearing Clifford’s words, Green immediately frowned. He took out the control panel on the table and immediately sent a message to the Elders in the Senate.

The legendary leader of Team 12, Owen Adele, sensed the unusual aura on Locke and immediately came to his side with interest. She used her fair hands to caress Locke’s back. “Hi there, you seem to be hiding a lot of secrets. Do you want to get a room with me and have a good discussion?”

Seeing this scene, Green felt a rising headache. He immediately said to Adele, “This is the person that the king and the Senate have their eyes on. You’d better not touch him! If something goes wrong, no one can protect you!”

Upon hearing this, Adele immediately retracted her hand. “Didn’t you say that he was only the captain of Team 4 some time ago? Not long has passed since then, and he’s suddenly promoted to Team 5! I’ve been away from the Kingdom of Dunmei recently, and so many things have happened!”

Although Green wanted to explain this to her, he didn’t have that much time.

“I’ll explain it to you when we get back. Right now, the most important thing is to deal with the problem on the mountains in the south. The Senate has issued a notice! Team 12, Adele, and Team 9, Warren, follow Team 5 Captain Locke, and Clifford to the mountains in the south immediately to count the number of enemy strongholds!”

Hearing this, the Team 9’s Captain, Warren helplessly spread out his hands. “The dragons can’t be used in that area, and there’s a magic barrier around it. How can we enter?”

Green immediately pointed his finger at Locke and said, “He has full control over the Hanos Science and Technology Giant Steel Dragon. As long as you follow him, you can enter directly from the sky!”

Upon hearing this, the two people at the side were stunned. They did not expect the high priest’s steel dragon to be controlled by Locke.

After receiving the quest, the four of them were about to leave when Green handed over a magic item to Locke. “This is a special type of magic communication device. It’s a necessary item for every elite Dunmei Dark Blade Dragons team’s captain.”

After receiving it, Locke was confused. “Why didn’t you give it to me last time?”

“Because the previous team leader was destroyed in an explosion. This thing is very difficult to make, so please treasure it!”

After leaving the underground headquarters, Locke immediately commanded the steel dragon to bring the three of them toward the mountains in the south.

On the way there, Locke looked at Clifford and asked, “When we went on the mission last time, didn’t we already kill a high-level necromancer there? How did this happen all of a sudden!?”

Clifford lowered his head and pondered for a moment before guessing, “It’s very likely that the high-level necromancer and demoness from before were just bait, because in the later stages, the Kingdom of Dunmei had already sent troops to excavate the dark magic ores. These people probably made use of the complicated terrain of the mountain to prevent the soldiers from transporting the dark magic ores! Then, they used these ores that were dug out by the soldiers for their own benefit to make their plans a success!”

Hearing this, Locke could not help but grit his teeth.

“These people are really despicable! We can’t let them off this time!”

The other two did not participate in their conversation. Instead, they found a comfortable spot to lean against and closed their eyes to take a nap.

The steel dragon was extremely fast. Very soon, it arrived at the edge of the mountains.

As they approached the mountains, Locke and the others discovered that the entire mountain range was protected by a transparent barrier. Locke commanded the huge steel dragon to charge toward the barrier. As they punctured through the barrier, a slight tremor echoed into the distance..
