"Being wary of an unknown and powerful existence can indeed be called fear," Douglas said calmly.
"Seems like you want to fight again?" Louis looked at Crassus with an unfriendly expression.
"Why? Is the big golden dragon still thinking about burning your dragon tail back then?" Crassus looked at Louis mockingly. "Who asked you to trespass the Magus Tower's no-fly zone back then? According to what you dragons say, that's my absolute territory."
"Hmph!" Louis snorted.
Michael stood between the two of them, and pointed at the octopus monster in the seal, and said, "Everyone, the enemy is right in front of us. Let's settle those old scores later. What we should be thinking about now is how to stop this fellow from escaping from the seal and harming the world."
The thin seal became even more transparent after the octopus monster collided with it again. It seemed like it would disappear at any time.
"With Barbara's help, we managed to decipher close to 90% of the seal runes. Unfortunately, the remaining layer made all our efforts go to waste." Novan walked up with bloodshot eyes, and fatigue was apparent on his face. "This seal won't last for long. We have to get more formation masters' help."
Louis retracted his anger, and looked at Novan with a serious expression. "I can summon all the formation masters on Dragon Island to come and help immediately."
"Apart from formation masters, you can find anyone who has studied ancient history and words. What we lack is not a formation master, but someone who can decipher these hidden runes," Novan said solemnly.
"Alright." Louis nodded.
"Its aura is not strong. Countless years of being sealed have worn away most of its life force. Why don't we try to kill it together?" Douglas asked with a frown.
"You can try," Julian said in a hoarse voice as he looked at him.
"Let's try." Douglas stepped forward with his crystal armor on. His aura increased with every step he took. When he took the last step into the seal, his aura had already climbed to the pinnacle of 10th-tier. He then activated his Frost Domain, and ice instantly froze the sealed area. Sharp icicles pierced toward the slightly dispirited octopus monster from all directions, wanting to kill it in one hit. Douglas's eyes widened.
At this moment, the countless eyes of the octopus monster that had slumped into a pile after colliding with the seal suddenly lit up with a red glow. Countless tentacles waved, and smashed the icicles that were piercing towards it into shards. Dozens of tentacles wrapped around Douglas, and wherever they passed, the ice and frost would melt, unable to obstruct those tentacles at all.
A powerful pressure pressed down on Douglas, and at the same time, a low and terrifying whisper sounded.
Douglas was stunned on the spot. He stared blankly at the tentacles that were surging toward him.
"He also fell for it." Crassus smiled, but his actions were not messed up at all. As he raised his hand, several walls of fire had already risen in front of Douglas.
Julian acted almost at the same time, and raised walls of ice where the walls of fire appeared.
"BOOM!"
Extreme cold and extreme heat met, and there was an instant explosion. The flying ice shards and heatwaves caused the tentacles to slow down slightly.
Novan raised his hand and pulled Douglas back through the air. It was as if an invisible hand had grabbed him, and flung him back forcefully, throwing him out of the seal before the explosion arrived.
Several tentacles reached out from the ground where Douglas was originally standing, and almost brushed past his body.
The tentacles hit the seal, and that octopus monster let out an indignant growl.
An ice water ball hit Douglas' face, and he came back to his senses. He instinctively took a few steps back, and could not hide the fear in his eyes.
In that instant, he felt as if his soul had been dragged into a bottomless pit, and he had lost control of his body. That feeling was as if he was facing the starry sky. Even with his 1,000 years of experience, he still felt that he was insignificant.
He looked at that octopus monster again, and there was more fear in Douglas' eyes. His throat moved, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Its power is far beyond our imagination."
"If killing it was an easy task, we would have done it long ago. It would not be your turn." Crassus pursed his lips. "Apart from having a terrifying attack power, it can also easily bewitch people. More importantly, it has an extremely terrifying recovery ability."
"Its damaged tentacles have completely recovered, and its aura did not weaken during this process," Louis said with a serious expression.
"It has existed for a longer time than any race on this continent. Perhaps it had once dominated the ancient times, and even the powerhouses back then could only seal it." It was also Michael's first time seeing this octopus monster in action. Apart from being shocked, his expression became even more solemn. "We can only repair the spell formation now and seal it again to buy more time for us to find and kill it completely."
"This is no small matter. I have to return to Dragon Island and bring all the ancient books," Louis said in a low voice.
"If your house also has the mural outside, I suggest you look for the mechanism properly. Perhaps the remaining half of this monster is buried under your butt," Crassus said with a smile.
"There is indeed such a possibility. If the seal behind that mural has been loosened, the situation on Dragon Island might not be optimistic," Novan said to Louis.
"I will investigate properly when I return this time, but the situation should not be as serious as here. At least there is no leakage of demonic aura." Louis nodded, and turned to leave.
"Thank you for saving me." Douglas expressed his gratitude to Crassus and the rest. He glanced at the little girl who was squatting beside the spell formation, and bade farewell to Louis.
"The good news is that we have received support from the dragons. The bad news is that Chaos City is still unable to provide more help to repair the spell formation," Michael said to Crassus and the rest.
"Neither of these two pieces of news can comfort us." Crassus shook his head.
"Tell me. What other help do you need?" Michael listened calmly.
"We are working so hard to save the world, but we can only roast rabbits ourselves. We are not keeping up with the logistics at all." Crassus frowned, and said, "With our status and strength, it shouldn't be too much for us to have Mamy's deliver three meals a day, right?"
"Seconded!" Barbara, who had been squatting at the side and studying the spell formation, raised her hand.
"I have no objections, too." Novan nodded, and added, "The main thing is that Crassus' meat skewers are really … a little hard to swallow."
"I want a plate of Yangzhou fried rice for lunch." Julian had already started to order calmly.
"Alright. Just let me know if you need anything. I will send someone to deliver it to you on a flying steed." Michael waved his hand.
