Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 506: The Bishop on the Dragon's Back
Not only Thomas, but all the "Saint Guardians" on the city wall at this moment have also recognized what the black shadow covering the sky and the sun in the distance is.

All the players had just seen the terrifying "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx hovering in the sky above Fafnir City this morning. It was then driven away by the "Bishop" Ross Carlos, but no one expected that the terrifying ancient dragon would come back so quickly.

Because of the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx who suddenly appeared above Fafnir City in the morning, high-ranking figures such as Lord Gawain from the [Supreme] side and "Knight of Heaven's Word" Stuart have also sent dozens of teams of Royal Guards led by "Knights of the Throne" out of the city to search for possible traces of Fafnir's lurking, but it seems that no trace of him has been found.

At this time, the city of Fafnir was already in the highest level of martial law.

At the same time, Thomas saw that several sections of the city walls farther away were flashing with azure light. The warlocks of Fangbei Court had started to warm up the hundreds of rune cannons that had been installed on the city walls.

Thomas also leaned over, untied one end of the chain that bound the flaming red dragon, and wrapped it around the dragon taming wristband on his wrist.

At the same time, he dragged the chain to pull the struggling fiery red dragon down from the sky. While comforting it, he prepared to mount the dragon saddle on its back.

However, the next moment, Thomas' ears were filled with Huang Dou's voice.

"Look over there!"

Huang Dou pointed at the shadow of the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx in the distance and said excitedly:

"Is that... the Bishop?!"

"...?"

When Thomas heard Huang Dou's call, he was stunned at first.

He then held down the still trembling and struggling Flame Red Dragon with one hand, and raised his head to look in the direction of Huang Dou's finger.

Soon, Thomas' eyes also lit up with unexpected excitement!

What he saw was that the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx was emitting an extremely dazzling golden light.

That is the light of [Glory], the light of "Holy Light".

And on the back of the giant dragon, there stood another figure that Thomas felt extremely familiar with.

"——Fuck, it's really the bishop!"

Thomas shouted excitedly.

He was just thinking that in the morning, the "Bishop" Rossu Carlos chased after the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx. This time Quesanx came back and seemed to have not seen the shadow of the "Bishop".

only……

Something seems wrong again.

"..."

Thomas reacted belatedly and blurted out almost subconsciously -

"bishop……"

"Why is he riding on the back of Quesanx's dragon?!"

……

Fafnir City, outside the east gate, on the Dragon Skeleton Plain.

"Holy Deacon" Hubert, who led a group of clergymen of the church, and the Paladins led by "Sun Knight" Davild, had formed a battle formation on the plain to meet the enemy.

They had also received the news long ago, and were on high alert while the "Bishop" Luo Xiu Carlos was chasing the ancient dragon.
A few minutes ago, through the spiritual detection of the highest perception level that they had urgently established, they had already detected an extremely terrifying spiritual aura that was rapidly approaching the direction of Fafnir City.

Hubert and Davild rushed to the plain as soon as possible, and the sky ring behind Davild, the "Sky Ring Paladin", was already flashing with bright golden light. He had completed the blessing of the sky ring for himself, and only waited for the "Ancient Dragon" to approach the city of Fafnir before launching a celestial bombardment at it.

But he did not really attack the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx in the end.

Almost at the same time, Davild, and Hubert saw another figure suddenly flying down from the back of the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx.

But that was not the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir as expected by the high-ranking officials of the expeditionary force - it was the "Bishop" Ross Carlos!

Hubert and Davide widened their eyes at the same time when they saw this scene in the sky.

"That's... Luo Xiu?"

Hubert asked a questioning question slowly from his throat.

“…It seems so.”

Davild also responded somewhat slowly.

They had no idea - or rather, they had only anticipated two scenarios - one was that the "Bishop" Luo Xiu would return after successfully expelling or even destroying the terrifying dragon; the other was that he would eventually lose the direction of chasing the ancient dragon, and the ancient dragon would once again make a comeback towards Fafnir City.

These are the two most likely scenarios... and now, "Bishop" Luo Xiu will come back riding on the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx. Such a scenario directly makes Hubert and Davild's brains crash on the spot!
Why did this happen?
That giant dragon... no. It should be Luo Xiu. What did he do to that giant dragon?
Hubert, Davild, and all the clergy who witnessed this scene were constantly thinking about this in their minds.

"--roar!!!!!"

In their confusion, Hubert and Davild only heard at the same time that the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx in the sky had let out a thunderous roar!

But it did not seem to continue approaching the city of Fafnir. It just hovered in the sky above the center of the Dragon Skeleton Plain, keeping a distance beyond the shooting range of the rune cannons on the city walls.

After jumping off the dragon's back, "Bishop" Ross Carlos summoned his "Golden Pegasus" Pegasus and rode on Pegasus' back in mid-air.

The Pegasus, which was overflowing with golden light, spread its shining wings on both sides and flew towards the ground where Hubert and Davild were.

……

When Luo Xiu landed on the ground in front of Hubert and Davide.

He got off Pegasus' back, called Pegasus back, smoothed his holy robe, and said with a smile to Hubert and Davild, who had frozen expressions in front of him:

"I'm back, Hubert, and Sir Davild."

"..."

"Uh..." Hubert looked at Luo Xiu, then looked at the Ancient Dragon Quesanx who was still hovering and roaring in the sky behind him. Before Davild spoke, he couldn't help but speak first and asked Luo Xiu:

"what's the situation?"

"I said it before, Hubert," Luo Xiu responded to Hubert:
"I once said that I had fought against the 'Ancient Dragon' and might know something. And now it has been proven that my idea was correct."

Then, Luo Xiu's expression turned serious. He looked at Hubert and Davild and said solemnly:

"In the battlefield where Fafnir the Dragon of Destruction attacked, I discovered that this Ancient Dragon was enslaved by Fafnir using the forbidden art of Red Lotus. I simply broke this enslavement for it."

"Now, it casts a friendly look at me and has acknowledged me as a friend, or perhaps as its master."

"..."

After saying this briefly, Luo Xiu observed the reactions on Hubert and Davild's faces at the same time.

He saw that the expressions on Hubert and David's faces were frozen as if their heads were itchy and they felt like they were about to grow a brain.

After a long while, Hubert and David finally managed to utter a word:

"...Ah?" "That's right, Hubert and Sir Davild."

Luo Xiu spread his hands, a helpless expression appeared on his face, and said:
"'Ancient Dragon' Quesanx... it should have become docile by now. I have baptized it with the blessing of [Glory], and it is now in a controllable state."

"I will bring it back. Two days later, we will set out from Fafnir City and head to the final battlefield of the Judgment Expedition. If we have the Ancient Dragon Quesanx as our reliable fighting force, I think we should not reject it."

"..."

After Luo Xiu finished narrating this, he saw deep, thoughtful expressions on the faces of Hubert and Davide in front of him.

In fact, it was relatively easy to convince these fellow members of the Glory. Hubert, for example, naturally trusted him, and the "Knight of the Sun" Davild knew that what he said was right.

Among the saints who share the same fate and have not gone to extremes, there is still a certain degree of mutual trust. Luo Xiu saw that the "Sun Knight" Davild on the opposite side nodded slowly and said:
"Well... this can indeed be called a kind of 'conversion'."

"I have no objection. But, perhaps the Supreme... especially the Lionhearted Pampas, might hinder you."

The "Lion Heart" Pampas? They are already one of us.jpg
Luo Xiu was thinking, he was looking at Hubert and Davild in front of him, and was about to say something else, when he suddenly felt another surging and rich spiritual aura from within the city of Fafnir.

"--Roar!!!"

A sharp whistle was heard from behind the city, and then the "Knight of Heaven's Proclamation" Stuart flew out from behind the wall of Fafnir City on his giant dragon vulture!
The scarlet lance in his hand was pointing towards the sky. The spirituality infused into it had transformed into a deep red light, which constantly flowed, dissipated, and hovered above the tip of the lance, ready to launch a terrifying blow at any time.

But when the "Knight of Heaven's Word" Stuart rode up to the sky on his dragon eagle, he saw that the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx was very far away and not within the range of his bombardment; and Hubert and Davild, who had been stationed outside the city for a long time, seemed to have relaxed their guard and did not look like they were facing a formidable enemy at all.

"...?"

Doubts gradually emerged in the heart of "Knight of Heaven's Proclamation" Stuart.

And when he saw the "Bishop" Ross Carlos standing there in front of Hubert and Davide, even greater doubts burst out from his heart.

Stuart then kept an eye on the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx that was circling and soaring in the sky far away, while he slowly swooped down on the dragon eagle and landed on the ground next to Ross, Davild and Hubert.

Then, the gate on the east side of Fafnir City opened.

Lord Gawain, "Secret Sage" Dukeler, "Thunder General" Albert, "Winter General" Lansas, "Lionheart General" Pampas, and other saints of the expeditionary force all came out of the city. They had the same reaction as "Knight of Heaven's Proclamation" Stuart when he first arrived -

They were all shocked and alert to the giant dragon circling and soaring in the sky far away, and felt a little puzzled and confused about the relaxation of Luo Xiu, Hubert and David.

Luo Xiu kept a smile on his face as he greeted Stuart, Lord Gawain, Dukeler and other high-ranking officials of the expeditionary force one by one.

And he also received the most urgent inquiry from the "Knight of Heaven's Proclamation" Stuart -

"Mr. Luo Xiu...it's a good thing that you can come back in time. But, what is the current situation?"

"..."

"The 'Ancient Dragon' Quesanx is no longer the 'enemy' we need to be wary of."

Luo Xiu said to Stuart, and then, just like he had told Hubert and the "Sun Knight" Davild, he also told Stuart, Lord Gawain, Dukel, Albert and others the story of how he "tamed" the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx.

"..."

Different from the reactions of David and Hubbard, Stuart, Gawain, Albert, Lansas and other Supreme Saints all showed a considerable degree of vigilance.

"Um……"

Stuart pondered with a serious look on his face.

After a moment, he looked at Gao Wen beside him, then looked at Luo Xiu and said:
"'Ancient Dragon' Quesanx, it is too dangerous anyway."

"Even if it is a legendary ancient dragon, it has been imprisoned and eroded by Fafnir, the Dragon of Destruction, with the forbidden technique of [Red Lotus]. There is no guarantee that its rage will burn us uncontrollably one day."

"Indeed, Lord Luo Xiu." Lord Gawain nodded and said to Luo Xiu, "Unless... we can completely control it - how about handing it over to Lord Dukeler, the 'Secret Sage'? Let Lord Dukeler develop the runes that can completely control it. This is the most efficient and secure way."

That's not up to you... Luo Xiu thought, Stuart and Gawain didn't know that the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx was not a magical beast that could be controlled in this way. The "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir's imprisonment of him was a lesson learned from the past. Unless you are completely stronger than it, it will only lead to its anger and destruction.

But there was no need to explain this to Stuart and Lord Gawain. Luo Xiu just looked into their eyes and said calmly:

"That is nothing to worry about, my Lord, and Mr. Stuart."

"I can control it. In fact, the reason why it is so docile to me is that I broke its shackles. Therefore, only I can summon it."

"Including me, we have four saints of the 'Sixth Fate' and nine saints of the 'Fiveth Fate' here. How about I let the 'Ancient Dragon' Quesanx land?"

"..."

Gawain looked at Stuart, and Stuart looked at Gawain. Several high-ranking people of [Supreme] and [Wisdom] looked at each other, and the lord finally nodded slowly:
"Yes, Lord Luo Xiu."

"Then," Luo Xiu turned around and looked at the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx that was hovering and soaring in the sky in the distance. He attached his spirituality to the voice and called to it -

"Come to my side, 'Ancient Dragon', Quesanx."

"..."

"--roar!!!!!"

The "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx let out a shaking roar, then retracted his dragon wings that covered the sky and sun, and swooped down towards Luo Xiu's position.

During the whole process, all the saints present had turned their spiritual minds around and were ready to attack the terrifying dragon that might get out of control.

But Luo Xiu just put his hands behind his back, staring at the black shadow that was growing bigger and bigger in his sight, until a strong gust of wind pressed violently towards his body, and the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx had arrived in front of him!

"……Roar."

Then, the giant dragon let out a low but not harsh roar, and gradually lowered its long neck towards Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu reached out his hand and gently pressed on the dragon head of Quesanx, then turned over and jumped up, his body landing on the dragon back of Quesanx.

Grabbing the protruding dragon thorn with one hand, Luo Xiu has stabilized his body on the dragon back of Quesanx.

"--roar!!!!!"

Then, the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx raised his dragon neck again and let out a new earth-shaking roar towards the sky!

He then spread his dragon wings, ascended back into the sky, and took the "Bishop" Luo Xiu with him, soaring into the sky!

……

"……what?"

Thomas was on the city wall and witnessed the whole scene.

Right, is that right?
One of his hands was still pressing on the struggling, flaming head of the flaming red dragon next to him.

But suddenly... Thomas felt that the broken dragon in his hand was not so attractive anymore.
