Chapter 3 - Red-Eyes Black Dragon
Luo Bai brushes past the mechanical wyvern.
It was a close call.
He could see clearly that there was a blue shadow line connecting the summoned mechanical wolf and mechanical wyvern to Kevin in the sky. The shadow line could pass through the lampstand, which meant that the summoned monster was probably not a physical monster he controls.
Feeling confident about this conclusion, Luo Bai reached out and touched the last card he has, the pure yellow card.
It was a card that held no image on it.
There is only a paragraph of unclear meaning, but Luo Bai can fortunately understand it.
He isn't quite sure if he's just hearing things, but he heard the card's voice and breathing, allowing him to actually read out the words sentence by sentence...
Bam!
As a strong storm broke out around Luo Bair, the mechanical wyvern and the mechanical wolf were launched dozens of meters away.
"With my blood as our covenant, anger as power."
"Come on!"
"Burst out with your undying flames, surging with the power of darkness!"
""
"Destroy the oppressors and soar high, regain freedom and light!"
"Heed my call, spread your wings and fly to the sky! Break all shackles, unleash your anger, and destroy all evil...!"
"Come out!"
"Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"
With a fierce gaze, Luo Bai shattered the card.
"Bang!"
The unparalleled momentum erupted from the broken crystal card.
The strong wind blew up and blew everything around instantly.
A blue shadow line sprang out from Luo Bai's hand, like a hair-thick blood-drawing needle, frantically sucking something from Luo Bai's body.
"Roar!"
A dragon roared in mid-air, reverberating throughout the dungeon like thunder.
The earth trembled, the mountains shook, and all living beings trembled.
The black dragon spreads its huge wings.
Breathing flames, causing merciless destruction...
[WARNING, WARNING]
Prompting sounds came from Kevin's mechanical helmet, and through the detection lens, a red halo of light could be seen flashing above the black dragon.
[Target: RED-EYES BLACK DRAGON- EPIC LEVEL]
[PLEASE EVACUATE]
[PLEASE EVACUATE]
Kevin looked at this scene in shock, unable to recover from the mechanical prompts for a moment.
"An Epic monster..."
The nightmare-like reality made him panic.
Unprepared, he was caught in the black dragon's fierce gaze.
The pride in his heart instantly turned to ashes.
Luo Bai's body also experienced changes. After that something in his body was sucked away, the blue shadow line started draining his flesh and blood, and his body continued to shrink.
"Only one chance to attack."
Gritting his teeth, Luo Bai controlled the black dragon tremblingly, and observing the movements of the two mechanical behemoths, he finally found the intersection point of the two beasts and one person on the other side.
"Go,
The Red-Eyes Black Dragon opened its huge mouth and roared.
Huge black flames spurted out, and the sea of fire headed up the entire underground area rapidly. By the time Kevin realized the seriousness of the problem, it was already too late.
He once looked down upon others, brandishing his power and oppressing those beneath him, but faced with the black dragon, he became humble, only waiting for the judgment and trial of fate.
"Ugh!!!"
The two Ancient Gear monsters and Kevin instantly melted in the sea of fire, swept away along with the screams of wild beasts echoing in the underground area.
.......
"The quest should be complete by now."
Luo Bai weakly relinquished control of the black dragon. He was already skin and bones, having exhausted all three cards given to him for this quest.
However, there's no prompt that the Quest:
"What exactly constitutes my survival..."
Pushing the thought aside, Luo Bai dragged his exhausted body and walked aimlessly in the sea of fire. One after another, strange beasts also rushed out, their bodies covered in fire, but they turned into nothingness before they could run a few steps.
The black flames don't cause harm to the caster himself though. Standing within the sea of fire, it feels like no enemy can touch him, and a strong sense of security surrounds his whole body.
"Does this not count as me already gotten out of danger...?"
Luo Bai weakly murmured.
The black flames spread everywhere and started burning the forges around, causing continuous explosions. He walked barefoot on the scorching ground, his stamina already reaching its limits.
"Fuuu..."
Luo Bai's breathing became more and more rapid, his consciousness starting to blur. Feeling as if he could see the life he had flashing before his eyes, he's starting to see hallucinations.
Otherwise, how could he explain why it's snowing in this dungeon?
Those snowflakes extinguished the black flames, coating the earth with a white blanket, and he felt cold beneath the soles of his feet.
Not far away...
There was a figure sitting under a bare dead tree. From what he could vaguely see, it was a woman with long silver hair. He couldn't properly see her face though, as Luo Bai could barely keep his eyelids from opening. As a faint fragrance wafted into his nose, his brain sank and he slowly fell down.
"Blue Eyes... White Dragon...?"
[Quest Complete. Tabletop Program Installing.]
The sound of the quest being completed came through his mind. Luo Bai's tense nerves relaxed, and fatigue suddenly spread throughout his body.
"There's finally….. no danger huh..."
.....
Not knowing how much time has passed, feeling as if he just dreamed of being in an epic war movie, Luo Bai suddenly woke up and straightened his back.
He was surprised to find that all the negative conditions on his body were gone. His hands, feet, muscles, and damaged skin were all healed, and he even had a matching set of clothes.
The most incredible thing is that there's an electronic bracelet on his left wrist, covering the identification number tattoo that seemed to be embedded into his skin.
[...…..]
"You're awake."
It was a very ethereal voice. In a trance as he had just woken up, Luo Bai didn't hear her previous sentence clearly.
When he turned to look at the source of the sound, he could see a girl holding her face in her hands, squatting in front of him like a curious baby, blinking from time to time.
She was wearing a white chiffon dress with a sky-blue ribbon tied around her neck.
Underneath her white hat is eye-catching long silver hair, and her blue eyes are like stars on a snowy night, not having any trace of impurity in them.
She was quite a beautiful girl.
Seeing her made Luo Bai really shocked and he froze on the spot, speechless.
"Hmm..."
The girl, Yilan, narrowed her eyes and slowly scooched forward half a step and held up his head like a watermelon.
Her hands were a little cold, as if the one touching him wasn't a human being.
"Hehehe... Sister, this one looks really stupid."
She turned to the side and smiled brightly at the air. It's one captivating smile.
It's just, her action somewhat frightened him...
"Sister?"
Luo Bai glanced around, but didn't find anyone else in the area.
"Really, hit him?"
She asked the air again, her face full of innocence dyed with reluctance.
Thereupon...
Smack!
With quick movements of her palm, Luo Bai knocked into the snow.
"Frick!!!"
A sensation he had never felt before came from his head, making Luo Bai feel inexplicably restless.
However, when he angrily pulled his head out of the snow, Yilan can't be seen anymore, leaving only the snowflakes fluttering in the air.
There also seemed to be three skewers of grilled chicken wings still steaming nearby.
"Was that... pain? Hiss..."
Luo Bai gritted his teeth and took a breath, and touching his head, his eyebrows furrowed into a frown, he tried to recall the feeling he had just now.
[Tabletop Program Installation Completed]
At this moment, a mechanical and cold voice sounded in his mind.
[Hello.]
A strange wooden door suddenly appeared in front of him.
"System, you're finally here!"
Luo Bai exclaimed with joy in his heart. He felt like he had brushed the Nile River a few times and almost died.
[System? Are you referring to me?]
A pause came for a moment.
[That is indeed a very appropriate title. However, I still hope you can call me Tabletop Program.]
"Okay, Program! Anyhow, what's with the wooden door?"
Luo Bai asked, pointing to the wooden door that suddenly appeared in front of him.
