Compared to others, the Stagnant Realm in Brando's eyes was perhaps more 'real'.
The vast ground was a mixture of dark brown and mottled red, like a mottled river of pollution, but more of it was gray — the color of cement and metal. Brendel was certain that he was looking at a city of death. The roads that intertwined like a spider's web occupied his entire field of vision. This was a city that he was extremely familiar with, not only because it contained the characteristics of that era, but more importantly, a black tower stood in the middle of the city, and the entire city's road network was like the veins of a hedgehog's nest.
He had seen this tower more than once. But in that dream, the black tower was far from as tall as what he saw now. It might be tens of thousands of feet high. Even from a few kilometers away in the air, he could still feel the oppressive pressure of the tower. The giant tower occupied about a quarter of the entire city. With it as a landmark, the field of vision was enough to extend for thousands of kilometers, but even the horizon was affected. It seemed to be narrowed under the contrast and could not accommodate the suffocating scenery.
The entire sky and the ground floated with a gray color, like the waste dust of industrialization, or the silent wasteland after a nuclear war. Everything was killed, there was no movement, not even a trace of wind. Although when observed from outside the Stagnant Realm, some areas of this land may be engulfed in a perfect sandstorm unimaginable by humans.
After Brando passed through the portal, his mind was completely attracted by the giant tower in front of him. He seemed to see every sentence of the Dark Prophecy flashing in the darkness:
XVI: THE TOWER
The lost moon took away the light.
XX: JUDGEMENT
The light lost.
XVII: THE STAR
The silver generation was lost on the earth, marching forward in the darkness and ignorance.
VIII: STRENGTH
The encounter of the emperor and the fool.
IX: THE HERMIT
The rusty clockwork was being reset.
XXI：THEWORLD
The sword that changed fate.
This was a world devoid of life. There was no sun, nor was there a magical moon. However, the entire world was not immersed in darkness. Instead, it reflected a pale gray color.
But perhaps complete darkness was better, because darkness could hide the hideous scars. Like now, it gave the illusion of a lifeless corpse lying on a cold bed under the dull light.
Brando felt that this was a world that had gone through a trial. Just like the trial described in the Book of Revelation, after the calamity, everything was gone. Whether it was heaven or hell, there was only dead silence left.
This was not the Wohnde he knew.
Instead, it was more like a world he was familiar with.
But no, it wasn't the same.
That world was not so big and vast. He raised his head, and his dark brown eyes could not reflect the arc of the planet on the horizon.
Moreover, this huge tower.
In his memory, there was absolutely no such giant tower.
Brando had an unreal feeling in his heart. This lifeless city was like a symbolic memory, causing a deeper tremor in the depths of his heart.
He actually felt that he had been here before.
But there was no relevant memory in his heart at all.
Brando suddenly panicked. He felt that the world was calling him. All its laws and powers were in harmony with him.
The uncomfortable feeling of being out of place in Vaunte had disappeared.
He thought it was the discomfort caused by the other half of his soul. But at this moment, he suddenly understood.
He should belong here.
He should belong to this stagnant world.
"What … is going on?" Brando could not help but groan in his heart.
"What … is … this place?"
He closed his eyes.
He seemed to see something.
It was a blue metal nameplate. The surface was slightly bent. The edges and the oxidized paint were full of red rust.
On the nameplate, there were convex letters inscribed:
Uimsotzrubtozlamesx00432408 _ aiirtu433-w. d。 1044。 Stemb b, 25th.
Then these words twisted in front of him and converged into a new noun:
Stagnant Realm.
Silver Plains.
"Teacher!"
Suddenly, Brando heard someone calling him from the horizon. It seemed to be a familiar voice. Yes, it was Huang Huo, his genius student.
Brando finally woke up. All the illusions in front of him disappeared.
He saw that Huang Huo and Aloz were fighting with some people. Those people were Fu Luofa's subordinates. He saw Miss Silver Dragon. Her conspicuous black hair was flying in the air.
He saw Fang Qi. He was being carried by a tall blue dragon. When he saw this, Brando completely recovered.
The Holy Sword Oderfeiss appeared in his hand.
However, the blue dragon reacted quickly and dodged his Flash Strike Sword Art. But it didn't matter. It was just Brando's afterimage that attacked. His body had already moved in another direction. The curved and deformed blade in his hand pointed straight at the blue dragon.
The other party cursed angrily. Once again, it brushed past Brando's sword. But it did not dare to be careless anymore. It immediately flew back and muttered something in its mouth, intending to cast a string magic.
Brando saw an arc of light appear in front of it. It was probably a shield-type spell.
But he did not make another move.
The blue dragon raised its head strangely. It heard the captive in its hand roar at it contemptuously in Draconic, "You're dead, idiot!"
Then, it was shocked to see that its chest was torn open.
In the last sight of the blue dragon, it clearly saw its intact shield spell. It was like a silent taunt, mercilessly mocking its stupidity.
Not far away.
Fu Luofa watched her companion's head separated from its body. But she only looked at the human captive indifferently for a moment. It was useless. After thinking about this, Fu Luofa turned around and flew down to the city below.
Her companions were at a loss. But obviously, Miss Silver Dragon was their leader. After hesitating for a moment, the rest of the dragons could only leave unwillingly.
Fangqi gasped for air.
Brando's swordsmanship had been shown to him more than once. When the former taught Huang Huo fighting skills, he often overestimated himself and wanted to challenge him. Then, the former's terrifying swordsmanship would be reflected on him.
He could not resist at all.
This was the conclusion that Fang Qi came to after being beaten so many times.
After that, he no longer considered himself a genius.
The mistake made by the blue dragon was just a repeat of the scene in his second battle. The so-called Golden Clan did not handle it much better than him. In fact, in that battle, this was not the most fatal mistake for him.
However, the giant reptile was killed before it could even react.
Fang Qi finally regained some of his dignity as a genius from these enemies.
He once thought that Brando's swordsmanship was the most unaesthetic and the most despicable swordsmanship in the world. But now, he found that he began to appreciate it.
"Ha, did you see that the big reptile's dumbfounded expression at the end? It was like a complete idiot."
Fang Qi resisted the urge to say those words to Brendel, who had come to receive him.
Because at the last moment, he suddenly thought that he might be the same at that time.
This was simply too humiliating.
This genius of Ghost Chariot suddenly felt his face was a little hot. For the first time, he felt that he was a teenager in the late stage of chuunibyou, and Brando was more like a mature and steady adult in front of him.
"This … Thank you."
Brando looked at this guy with some surprise, wondering if he had taken the wrong medicine. But when he saw Fang Qi looking at him with some gratitude, he was sure that this guy must have been scared out of his wits.
After the dragons left the battlefield, Phoenix Flame and Aloz also returned to Brando's side. The little female dragon chased after Flora for some distance, but could not catch up. The silver dragon was second only to the blue dragon in terms of speed. The latter was known as the Sky Dragon. It was said that part of its bloodline was of the wind elemental race, and was a distant relative of the wind dragon of the Mountain of Stopped Storms. In terms of flying skills, no one could beat it.
Aloz had now returned to her dragon form. It was the first time Brando saw her graceful dragon form. Whether by human or dragon standards, she was a beautiful dragon. However, the little female dragon seemed to be a little angry. She did not allow Brando to look at her, and threatened that if Brando dared to look at her more than twice, she would 'gouge out his eyeballs' and feed them to the pigs.
The little female dragon's fierce look was quite intimidating, although Brendel didn't understand why he couldn't see it. Besides, the sisters Ling and Lian were sitting on her back, and they had already seen everything that should be seen.
Aloz also did not allow Delfien to sit on her back, so now the prime minister's daughter was sitting on Magadal's strange diamond-shaped metal object. When it was not moving, it was very stable.
"Teacher." Ever since Aloz reverted to her dragon form, she had become incoherent and could not say anything useful. So Phoenix Huo took over her task of reporting to the battlefield. "Miss Furofa and the others seem to be heading towards the tower below. Should we go after them?"
