Chapter 543: Tragic — The Great Red — Tragic

Since he had decided to help Ophphis reclaim the Dimensional Gap, Li Ang naturally could not go alone.

Upon learning that she would soon be able to return to the Place of Serenity, a rare ripple of emotion finally crossed Ophphis's face.

She looked at the gentle-faced young man before her and promised with extreme solemnity, "I will help you."

Hearing this, Li Ang raised an eyebrow, then smiled and patted the girl's head. "I appreciate the kind thought, but that doesn't necessarily mean there'll be a fight today."

Unlike Ophphis, he knew exactly why the Great Red had occupied the Dimensional Gap — it was simply to guard against enemies from beyond the world.

It happened that Li Ang also had a one-sided personal grudge against the EXE world, so to a certain extent their goals aligned.

Hearing these words, Ophphis tilted her head in slight confusion, momentarily unable to make sense of what her fellow being before her was saying.

But in the end she did not choose to voice the question; she simply stepped forward and silently took hold of Li Ang's left hand.

Feeling the warmth transmitted from her palm, Li Ang glanced down at the girl beside him, then immediately opened 【Yomi Hiraka】.

As early as his very first intelligence-gathering, he had already discovered that the outer layer of the DXD world was wrapped in a sheet of space, like a barrier used to fend off intruders.

Without a doubt, that was the place of Ophphis's birth — only now it was occupied by the 【True Red Dragon Emperor】 Great Red.

However, the moment Li Ang and Ophphis entered the Dimensional Gap, a slightly low voice suddenly rang out in both their ears.

"Go back, Ophphis. This is no place for you."

Hearing that voice, Ophphis's emotions immediately underwent a violent shift, and she said with hatred in her tone, "The one who should leave is you!"

It was the first time Li Ang had ever seen the girl display such obvious emotion — she clearly loathed the owner of that voice to the extreme.

But before he could speak, that low voice from earlier continued: "You will never understand — hmm? And who are you?"

Li Ang followed the voice with his gaze and saw an enormously massive red dragon staring fixedly at him.
