Chapter 214 - Guardian of the Altar
Chapter 214: Guardian of the Altar
The Flood Dragon did not participate in their discussion. Instead, it silently looked at the location of the altar, deep in thought.
“What’s wrong?” Mcgee noticed that the Flood Dragon was unusual.
“That altar… seems to be summoning some kind of monster.”
The flood dragon did not use a ‘familiar’, but a ‘monster’, because it could feel that what was slowly gathering there was not the power of any element.
Instead, it was a bit like the aura of a mad familiar shrouded in darkness during the attack of the Blood Moon.
The Snow Spirit Fox’s hair stood on end as well, as if it was facing a great enemy.
[Arrive at the location of the mission. Mission objective changed.]
[Remove the seal above the Dragon altar, and then escape from the ancient battlefield ruins.]
[Mission time: Half an hour.]
Mcgee sucked in a breath of cold air. He finally understood the cause and effect of the matter…
It was not that he had to fight the ancient familiar or even the Dragon, but that he had to remove the Dragon’s seal.
However, there was something wrong with the system.
From the remains on the battlefield, it was not difficult to guess that the ancient familiar’s strength was above that of the Snow Spirit Fox. It could be seen that the battle was fierce.
However, why would they appear here and fight?
It was not just a group of familiars, but it was like a chaotic battle.
The Snow Spirit Fox could not hear the system’s mission, but it could sense a hint of danger from Mcgee’s face.
“Flood Dragon, among us, you’re the fastest. Can you take me to the altar?”
The Flood Dragon was trembling. It was instinctively afraid of the altar.
“No, I can’t even move my body.”
“Sure enough, there’s a limit.”
Mcgee finally understood the danger of this mission. It would probably be very difficult to break the seal on the altar and run from the altar to the edge of the ancient battlefield.
The Snow Spirit Fox said indifferently, “I can take you there. What are you going to do there?”
“Break the seal.”
“Maybe you’re not a familiar and can’t feel the danger. My intuition tells me that breaking the seal will release a very troublesome enemy.”
“I’m not a familiar, but I’m not a fool either,” Mcgee said with a bitter smile. How could he refuse a mission from the system? Unless he wanted to die here immediately.
Without further ado, Mcgee jumped onto the altar with the help of the Snow Spirit Fox. He would not be able to get up on his own, because the altar was about ten meters tall.
The altar was full of cracks on the ground. It looked like there were traces of history.
In the center of the altar, there was a piece of wood that looked like a short sword. If he guessed correctly, it was the seal of the altar.
“Be careful!”
Just as Mcgee was about to approach the wooden sword, the Snow Spirit Fox suddenly rushed to the side. Then, a few wisps of black spiritual energy surged out from the altar and almost penetrated Mcgee’s body.
Mcgee was pushed to the ground by the Snow Spirit Fox. He looked at the wisps of black spiritual energy and swallowed his saliva.
The wisps of black spiritual energy did not disappear directly. Instead, they gathered in the air.
In the end, it took the shape of a tiger.
Even the arrogant Snow Spiritual Fox looked at the tiger surrounded by the black gas with a fearful and submissive expression.
“How dare you! You actually want to break the evil Dragon’s seal! Hurry up and retreat!”
Its voice was loud and clear, like a tiger roaring in the mountains. It was full of intimidation.
“The opponent isn’t a familiar. I can’t find out anything about him.”
Mcgee was disappointed. He knew himself well. With just him and the Snow Spirit Fox, they should not be able to defeat the familiar in front of him.
“Get back quickly! The Dragon seal must not be broken, or it will harm the world!”
The Snow Spirit Fox lowered her head. She did not even dare to make eye contact with it.
It was a huge White Tiger about five meters long, but its entire body was surrounded by a black aura. It looked extremely out of place.
“Little Bing, this is?” Mcgee knew that the Snow Spirit Fox definitely knew what the familiar in front of him was.
Speaking of the relationship between familiars, the Snow Spirit Fox was not an existence that would submit to the king of the White Tiger.
“I don’t know what it is… but the aura it gives off makes it impossible for me to go against its will!”
As an ordinary human, Mcgee did not feel any pressure from it at all. Although it was terrifying, it was not to the extent of being unable to move.
Moreover, Mcgee also discovered something. The White Tiger only repeatedly asked them to leave, but did not attack.
It did not look like it was hostile.
“You can ask us to leave. Tell us what happened here.”
The White Tiger glared at Mcgee and then roared at him.
Although Mcgee was extremely shocked, he still stood where he was and looked directly at the White Tiger.
“I know what you’re trying to do, human.
“The Evil Dragon under my feet is a demon that we’ve sealed with our lives.
“If you break the seal, the Evil Dragon will definitely harm the world. It won’t stop until it exterminates the world!”
The White Tiger’s tone had a hint of vicissitudes, in addition to its dignity.
Could it be that there was a sense of righteousness among familiars? They knew that the Evil Dragon would pose a threat to the world, and they were willing to pay the price of their lives to destroy it here?
Why did the system let Mcgee break the seal?
Mcgee calculated the time in his mind. Fifteen minutes had already passed. If this dragged on, he would probably die.
His brain was spinning rapidly.
A gamble?
Mcgee was now betting that the White Tiger in front of him did not have a physical body. It was just a memory.
He decided to ignore the White Tiger and move forward.
However, the black gas on the White Tiger’s body directly penetrated the stone slab in front of Mcgee.
“You are not allowed to move forward.”
“To tell you the truth, my mission is to break the seal.” Mcgee took a deep breath. He knew that there was no way out.
“Are you the servant of the Evil Dragon?” The White Tiger emitted a murderous aura.
“I don’t know if the system is the Evil Dragon, but if I don’t break the seal, I will die here immediately.” Mcgee immediately put on the Imperial Dragon Armor. He knew that he had no time to waste with the other party.
Even if it was an egg hitting a rock, he had to try.
Seeing the armor on Mcgee, the black gas that the White Tiger was wreaking havoc on actually calmed down.
“This is… a Dragon Rider?”
“What?”
Back then, the White Tiger was the main force fighting against the Evil Dragon, so it definitely would not be mistaken about the aura that the armor was emitting.
That was a power that was completely opposite to the Evil Dragon.
“Intruder, please tell me your name.”
“My name is Mcgee.”
Although Mcgee did not know what had happened, he could feel the tense atmosphere suddenly ease up.
“Where did you get that armor from?”
“Uh…” Mcgee could not possibly tell him that it was an email from the system, right.
“It was given to me by a creature that calls itself ‘God.\'”
Mcgee did not know what kind of existence ‘God’ and ‘king’ were to familiars, but he knew that familiars would fall for this trick.
Sure enough, the White Tiger in front of him showed signs of wavering.
