Chapter 419

The chimera opened its large mouth full of sharp teeth, let out a deafening roar toward the sky, and its huge body soared freely in the heavens.

It finally broke that damn magical seal, able to freely devour magical power, no longer needing to be driven by humans.

Just now I'm hungry, so I'll fill myself with this former host's body.

"Oh no, Renteng Gongjie."

Cao Zhenqingren looked at the chimera that was about to devour Renteng Gongjie, his right leg leapt into a spinning flying kick in midair, kicking the incoming Reggie away.

At the same time, his right hand quickly slipped on a binding magic ring; several red magic circles surrounded the chimera's body, and the chains inside the circles shot out at high speed, firmly locking the chimera's huge body.

However, such a little trick couldn't bind the chimera; see, the chimera roared, it raised its claw and fiercely slashed, a golden light blade cut through the air with a piercing whine, directly slicing the iron chains wrapped around its body.

The chimera's strength among phantoms is also a very powerful existence; ordinary phantoms can only gain a huge body in the host's inner world, but the chimera is different—it originally looks like this.

"A mage? Then take your magical power as the celebration."

The chimera, with multiple heads on its body all gazing at Cao Zhenqingren, at that moment Reggie's red single eye suddenly brightened, and several light bolts shot out from its eyes.

The two phantoms seemed to have reached some tacit understanding, both simultaneously beginning to attack the mage.

Blazing sparks suddenly exploded on Cao Zhenqingren's body, the strong impact directly blasted him away, he let out a miserable cry, his fiery red magic robe instantly vanished, and he was forcibly dispelled from his transformation in midair.

At the moment Cao Zhenqingren dispelled his transformation, the chimera roared, its limbs stepped in midair and it fiercely kicked off, bursting with unimaginable speed, air shockwaves, the several eyes on its body all showing longing, air shockwaves.

It opened its large mouth full of sharp teeth and lunged to bite Cao Zhenqingren, it could sense the powerful magical power within his body, and precisely because it was strong, it was especially delicious.

Just as Cao Zhenqingren's body was gradually being covered by the chimera, a melodious flute sound drifted from afar, countless musical notes together formed a melodious score in midair, at that moment those notes in midair formed a perfect circle, and a magic array condensed into shape in the void.

The chimera's huge body momentarily stalled in midair; it was just a bit away—if it bit down, it could obtain that delicious magical power.

But the chimera now cannot move even an inch, because countless chains in midair tightly entwine its body.

Even the same binding magic, in different mages' hands, has completely different power; right now, not only is the chimera's body bound so it cannot move, but its own magical power is also being drawn away by the chains, which in turn continually strengthens the chains' binding force.

Meanwhile, Reggie, seeing the situation turn bad, wanted to leave immediately; this powerful magical power is not something an ordinary mage could possess, and it does not want to be sealed again.

It turned and leapt, jumping sharply toward the place opposite the flute sound.

But just then, the originally slow and steady flute sound suddenly became urgent, and right in front of Reggie and the chimera each formed a golden magic circle.

Reggie instinctively wielded the double-headed naginata in his hand, slashing at the suddenly appearing magic circle.

The magic circle suddenly burst with intense light, in a thunder-like explosion sound, the powerful firelight accompanied by this flute sound instantly enveloped the two phantoms.

And the struck, transformation-dispelled Cao Zhenqingren quickly helped the already unconscious Renteng Gongjie up and quickly moved away from here.

The continuously swirling flames swept across the empty square; the gray-white marble on the square began to burn under this extreme temperature, continuous explosions kept ringing, flowing golden flames blazed with dazzling gold in the air. Cao Zhenqingren stared in shock at this scene.

Such heat even his own flame magic dragon could not reach; this strike alone was enough to kill him— to achieve such a magical effect, could a mage still produce it?

The two phantoms didn't even have a chance to dodge; they could only endure this attack with their bodies.

A heaven-shaking, earth-shaking tremor burst forth, all light and heat erupting, a wave of heat sweeping across.

Cao Zhenqingren used his hand to shield his face, the scorching impact made his face turn red; he opened his eyes and strove to locate the two phantoms' silhouettes, he could hear the sizzle of flames melting rock, the explosion nearly completely destroyed the square, bullet-like fragments carrying lava-like colors flew outward in all directions.

The fragments produced by the explosion struck the gray stone slabs on the ground, directly creating a large pit, showing how strong the explosion's impact was.

"Cough cough cough."

At this moment Renteng Gongjie let out a painful cough, then his eyes snapped open, only to find thick smoke rolling around, and himself and Cao Zhenqingren hiding beneath a nearby staircase.

After Renteng Gongjie recovered from the smoke, he found his body felt light, the previous weakness completely gone.

Oh yeah, I became weak from not having eaten a Charm Shadow for a long time, then I fought together with Qingren against the Charm Shadow that kept holding a knife, and when that knife slashed at me, he seemed to see a Chimera bursting out from inside his body.

Sure enough, the magic was gone, Ren Teng Gongjie inserted the ring into the side of his belt, and there was no reaction at all.

"Ren Teng, you're awake." Cao Zhenqingren let out a sigh of relief.

"What's going on? This is a huge deal." Ren Teng Gongjie sneaked a look up from below the steps, but saw only smoke filling the air.

"A magician is fighting the Charm Shadow, but I don't know who." Cao Zhenqingren said.

The dust slowly settled, the exploding flames and thick smoke drifting down with the gusts; the double-bladed naginata had already broken into two pieces, each falling separately. If Regijon could still move, this would allow one to wield them as twin blades.

But that was no longer possible; Regijon's body had begun to carbonize and turn black, and burnt smoke kept rising from it.

That charred black shell was covered in wrinkles like old tree bark, the blood-red single eye had begun to dim, visibly losing life; it seemed that a light touch with a hand would cause the blackened body to suddenly turn to ash.

At that moment, the pleasant flute sound suddenly stopped, and a white figure carrying that flute-sword gradually appeared before Cao Zhenqingren's eyes.

"A white magician..." Cao Zhenqingren murmured; the white magician who had given him the belt finally appeared, and he had saved him once again.

Jiang Xia grasped the flute-sword, stepped forward, and swung, shattering the blackened Regijon into fragments; the fragments turned into a pale purple glow upon collapsing, which Jiang Xia's body completely absorbed.

But compared to Regijon's death, the Chimera's condition was much better; its body merely had some scorch marks, and it burst forth with violent energy waves and a ferocious lion's roar, like thunder exploding in the sky.

Its body was violently shaking, the iron chains binding it had been pulled straight and were clanking as the metal struck together; it was using the magic it had devoured over many years to break free from the magic-binding chains.

The Chimera Charm Shadow is a Charm Shadow that has existed since ancient times; it has lived for a very long time, the magic it has devoured is immeasurably vast, and aside from the magic consumed to maintain its own existence, its power continues to grow. (End of chapter)
