Chapter： 197 Intense Battle
Brian took just one glance before quickly regaining his composure. He shifted his gaze and focused on what lay ahead. The combat prowess of the legendary lich was unexpectedly formidable, and he decided it was best to avoid a direct confrontation for now.
At the same time, in Brian's field of vision, he saw a curtain that looked like a thick black veil blocking his path. Not just in front of him, but above, below, and all around, this black curtain enveloped everything.
"The range of this legendary spell... it's ridiculously large."
Seeing the black curtain almost within reach, Brian decisively flapped his Dragon Wings and sped forward, his body cutting a straight silver line through the sky, heading directly for the black curtain.
As he got closer, his eyes could pierce through the thick curtain, vaguely seeing the normal sky outside. Brian took a deep breath and charged headfirst into it.
Whoosh!
The massive body of the silver dragon touched the unusual black curtain. What happened next took Brian by surprise.
He felt no resistance at all. The black curtain before him seemed like an illusion, offering no hindrance to his departure.
The prominent dragon horns were the first to touch the black curtain, but it was like a stone falling into water, easily piercing through without causing even a ripple.
Brian had no time to think further. Due to his high speed, in the blink of an eye, the entire silver dragon had plunged into the black curtain.
However, the scene that followed left Brian stunned and slightly tense.
"This... has a spatial transfer effect?"
He had charged into the black curtain, but instead of seeing the normal sky outside, his vision was still filled with the deathly aura of the curtain's domain. Moreover, Brian's position had changed. He had been flying north, but his body emerged from the southern edge of the black curtain, placing him very close to the legendary lich.
"....."
Brian didn't know what to say for a moment. But he wasn't too surprised. After all, it was a domain-like legendary spell; it would be surprising if it were that easy to leave.
Soon, the black curtain behind him flickered, and two red dragons, a black dragon, and a green dragon appeared one after another beside Brian. They also sensed something was wrong, their dragon faces showing unease.
Roger roared, Dragon's Might bursting forth, "Evil, despicable creature, release the spell and let us leave, or you will be burned to ashes by the Dragon's Breath!"
Dragon's Might swept past like a breeze, having no effect on the legendary lich.
Brian remained silent, lowering his head to look down at the grinning Harrison. Harrison looked up at the sky, watching the True Dragons unable to leave, a mocking smile on his lips, the ghostly blue flames in his eye sockets flickering slightly.
"I told you, trying to escape from me, Harrison, with just a few young True Dragons?"
"Hmph, even ancient dragons have died by my hand!"
Harrison sneered, his words full of disdain for the True Dragons. As for his claim of having killed ancient dragons... given his current display of power, it was indeed possible.
This guy was no ordinary legendary lich. The deathly and icy aura emanating from him made Brian feel inexplicably uneasy.
"It seems there's no other way to leave this spell's area except by killing him."
Brian thought silently. In terms of spells, the highest he could cast was a fifth-circle magma fireball. His understanding of spells compared to a legendary Spellcaster was like a child compared to a national scholar, utterly insignificant.
With his level of spell mastery, trying to break free from a legendary spell's constraints and leave this area was a pipe dream. The root of the spell lay with Harrison; without a way to break it, the only option was to kill him.
But killing such a legendary lich...
"Future me, don't just stand by and do nothing," Brian thought anxiously. The legendary lich before him was the most powerful enemy he had ever encountered. Effortlessly casting Ninth-Level Spells and legendary spells that sealed the heavens and the earth... this lich was undoubtedly a powerhouse among legends.
Moreover, whether it was necromancy spells or enchantment spells, once they reached higher levels, they focused heavily on instant-kill single-target attacks. If hit and unable to withstand it, death was almost certain.
Brian didn't want to take the considerable risk of fighting Harrison. His eyes flickered, and taking advantage of Harrison's attention being mainly on the high-level Spellcasters and the remaining Golden Alliance soldiers, he used Time Dragon Revert without hesitation.
"Help, help..." Threads of time power, imbued with Brian's urgent will, flowed into the River of Time, heading downstream to a possible future, reaching out to the future adult Brian, or even ancient Brian, primordial Brian...
However, in the short term, Brian received no response.
Meanwhile, the hot-tempered chromatic dragons exchanged glances. Led by the two red dragons, they simultaneously dove down, opening their jaws to reveal interlocking dragon teeth.
"Ugly lich, die in the breath of the great and noble True Dragons!"
In their mouths, different types of Dragon's Breath began to churn and brew. The red dragons' mouths were filled with rolling flames, the high temperature distorting the air around their heads. The black dragon's mouth produced a corrosive liquid Dragon's Breath, while the green dragon's mouth contained a corrosive acidic gas Dragon's Breath.
But before the chromatic dragons could dive into the range of their Dragon's Breath, black, semi-transparent tentacles extended from the legendary lich's shadow. They resembled giant pythons or pitch-black whips, and in just a breath's time, they closed in on the chromatic dragons' bodies.
Paralyzing Touch, a spell-like ability of the lich's body. All spell-like abilities could be enhanced with the user's power. Harrison's Paralyzing Touch, catching the chromatic dragons off guard, wrapped around their bodies like wrapping a dumpling, then swiftly contracted, sinking into their scales and penetrating their bodies.
At the same time, the previously aggressive chromatic dragons collectively stiffened. The three different types of Dragon's Breath brewing in their mouths simultaneously fizzled out, their internal magic locked and halted. Their Dragon Wings stopped flapping. The chromatic dragons didn't die, but their bodies were paralyzed and rigid, their eyes filled with fear as they uncontrollably plummeted from the sky.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
The four chromatic dragons fell like dumplings, crashing into the ground and creating four deep pits, crushing some weak undead creatures.
"Overestimating yourselves," Harrison sneered. "Once I deal with these humans, it'll be your turn!"
Harrison licked his lips. In the domain of the dead, almost all the ordinary soldiers of the Golden Alliance were dead, and the high-level Spellcasters were also gradually falling under the attacks of numerous high-level undead. The higher quality souls and life essence further accelerated Harrison's transformation.
By now, his body had reverted to that of an ordinary eighty or ninety-year-old man, still gaunt but no longer resembling a dried corpse, and he continued to grow younger. The lich's body, originally hideous and skeletal, gradually took on a more human appearance.
And it wasn't just his appearance that was changing. His aura was climbing steadily, and no one present, whether human or dragon, could interrupt this process. The endless flesh and soul essence of nearly 800,000 people, including numerous extraordinary warriors and Spellcasters, continuously flowed into Harrison's body, becoming part of him.
