T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 636, Section 635: Hagi Dragon's Breath

Two days have passed since the Mad Blood Clan was killed and Rainbow Rain and Blazing Water Blood Clan exchanged heads.

Driven mad by the backlash of a mysterious flesh-and-blood magic, the vampires launched a desperate final counterattack, burning themselves to the last drop of energy, but it was nothing more than an ineffective, scraping massage for the members of Rainbow Rain.

The striking scene left a very deep impression on the black herons watching from the sidelines.

She practically clung to the Rainbow Rain team, observing this incredible adventure group with boundless curiosity, and... the mysterious master who was faintly visible behind them.

Black Heron desperately wants to know who can cultivate and control Rainbow Rain, a group of individuals with diverse personalities, abilities, and strengths.

The highly anticipated result is in line with Jiang Heyi's expectations to some extent, but the sudden appearance of an unknown, reasonably strong, and very enthusiastic "fangirl" who has been following closely all the way has made Captain Gloria maintain the necessary caution.

When the message arrived from the magical messenger, asking Jiang Heyi for advice on how to handle the situation, he happened to be enjoying his "original form" with French Fries and Mint.

Upon hearing the name "Black Heron" in the message, Mint immediately raised an eyebrow.

"Black egret?"

"What's wrong, do you know him?"

"Is there any other information?" Mint didn't answer directly, but asked again.

"26 years old, a half-elf and half-human, from the royal capital of Anna."

“Then it should be right, it’s the Glenn family.” Mint pouted. “Simply put, their family status is slightly inferior to Renee’s, you understand?”

French Fries understood; he was also an elite from a large magical family.

According to Mint, the Glenn family has been racing toward having mixed-race offspring in recent years.

They are keen on marrying into various long-lived or special races, including elves, vampires, and even humanoid races, seemingly in an effort to optimize their bloodlines.

Over the years, the Glenn family has also been working to establish connections with marine species.

The desire to possess sirens ultimately spread from the nobility.

Jiang Heyi listened and pondered.

Actually, halfway through his speech, Mint had already retrieved a piece of information in his mind.

The Glenn family are staunch supporters of Kurion, and the current head of the family has close ties with the royal family.

The rest of the useful information was not included, but this one piece of information alone was enough for him to use.

Jiang Heyi personally replied to Gloria.

"If she wants to see, let her see as much as she wants. Show off your personal charm, and don't forget to mention our existence from time to time."

He didn't need to give overly specific instructions; he believed that with Gloria and Elsa's abilities, they could execute the instructions well once they received the information.

At this point, aside from the jailer, everyone else at the boundary between reality and illusion just needs to give Mint Mom a good, intense training session.

It doesn't make sense that Meimei can beat Renee in the game, but in real life she'd be completely shut down.
Meanwhile, in Windpod City, in the tavern room where Rainbow Rain was staying.

The magical messenger appeared in the form of a pigeon, gently tapping its little head on the glass window.

Gloria held it to her ear and listened for a while, then gave the pigeon to Elsa—the Rainbow Rain now uses a dual-brain decision-making model.

This made Plata hum the jokes that the jailer had taught her from time to time.

"Captain Alvin, are you thinking... Waaaaah, I was here first, whether it was the sun shower or the rainbow shower, I was here first."

Alvin pulled his hat down low: "I'm craving roasted butterflies."

The ghost mouse still peeked out from the edge of the shadow, peering curiously: "What did Potato say?"

"Let's fight Arerave."

"?"

"?"

"?"

"Me, us?"

……

……

Black egrets have become the veritable little follower of Rainbow Rain.

Although the Rainbow Rain team didn't mind her traveling with them and even tacitly allowed her to stay at the same bar, her good upbringing and a certain ingrained prudence made her choose to stay on a different floor from the Rainbow Rain members, maintaining a distance that was both close and appropriate.

That morning, she had already sent a detailed observation report about the Rainbow Rain Adventure Team to the Glenn family in the capital through a magical messenger—including a record of their cooperative operation that instantly killed an 8th-tier vampire.

In fact, ever since Rainbow Rain rose to prominence and gained widespread acclaim in the southern part of the empire at an incredible speed, Black Heron, who happened to be traveling in the nearby region, had already taken notice of their movements.

Her initial plan was quite straightforward: if the adventure group was as powerful as rumored, and after investigation it was found to be without any background or foundation, she would not mind communicating with her family and trying to extend an olive branch in the name of the Glenn family, absorbing them into a force that she could use.

However, now that she has witnessed Rainbow Rain's power firsthand and vaguely sensed that there seems to be a more mysterious "master" behind them, her goals have naturally changed.

The initial attempt to absorb the adventure team itself has shifted to a desire to connect with the "people behind the scenes" who support the team.

The value of this goes far beyond what can be achieved by recruiting a few powerful henchmen.

She remembered her father telling her that powerful adventurers or groups without any foundation were exactly what His Majesty Kurien longed to see.

The academy's and the mage tower's belong to Anna, to the royal family.

What His Majesty Kurien desires most is something that belongs to him.

He was an adventurer, and so was his wife, the Wolf Queen, who understood even more the unspoken value of promoting those from the bottom.

If the Glenn family could establish contact with the person who controls the Rainbow Rain first, it would undoubtedly be an investment of great strategic value.

Bathed in the cool starlight and moonlight, the entire Rainbow Rain team finished yet another mission and embarked on their journey back to Windpod City.

The mission is to exterminate a high-ranking tree spirit that has been lurking deep in the forest and has already brutally murdered several groups of adventurers.

This sounds incredibly challenging to the average adventurer.

However, compared to Rainbow Rain's ability to easily defeat an 8th-tier Mad Blood Clan, a mere Treant was hardly a threat, and even seemed rather unremarkable.

And that was indeed the case. The Spirit Sorcerer Rona simply stepped forward and casually lit a small flame. The ferocious, roaring high-level tree spirit was instantly ignited, turning into a pile of high-quality, fiercely burning firewood.

In the chilly spring, the tree spirit's act of transforming into a campfire to provide warmth was heartwarming.

The campaign was carried out without any significant incidents.

If there is any difficulty in this operation, it is probably all in the "journey".

They needed to venture deep into the remote, dense forests that served as a buffer zone between the Leaf Spirits and the uninhabited areas.

After traversing steep mountains and painstakingly searching with blurry old maps and scattered clues, they finally located the rather cunning tree spirit, skilled in disguise.

The Black Heron, who accompanied the entire operation, felt most acutely that the most pressing problem at present was how to accurately and efficiently "deploy" Rainbow Rain, a team with terrifying combat capabilities, to the enemy.

Once this step is solved, they can always complete the remaining extermination work with astonishing speed and efficiency.

An efficient flying mount is absolutely essential for this.

Taking advantage of this excellent pretext, Black Heron seemingly unintentionally began to subtly probe.

She walked over to Gloria and Elsa, looked at the giant bear pushing through the bushes and thorns with its bare body, and asked curiously.

"You have to spend so much time on arduous journeys every time. Why doesn't your 'master' provide you with some better mounts?"

Before this question could be answered, Henilakai suddenly shouted from ahead.

"Watch out, someone's there."

Almost the instant his words fell, an indescribable, heart-pounding pressure, like a tangible tsunami, crashed down from the dark depths of the forest. The air instantly became thick and heavy, suffocating, and the chirping of insects and birds fell silent in an instant; even the wind seemed to freeze.

Black Heron felt his heart clench suddenly, and all the blood in his body seemed to freeze at that moment.

To her horror, a tall figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

Her face possessed an inhuman, aggressive beauty; her golden vertical pupils radiated a cold and majestic light in the night, and just looking into them made one's soul tremble.

The gradient-colored scales flowed under the moonlight...

No, it wasn't moonlight.

The opponent's scales glowed with a fiery red light, and destructive lava meandered and rolled along the gaps between the scales.

The other party arrogantly raised its head: "Rainbow Rain?"

“You are…” Golia hesitated.

"You've contacted me before," the woman introduced herself, "Arera Vie."

The name exploded in Black Heron's mind like a thunderclap!

She stared wide-eyed at the red-haired woman in disbelief.

A legendary dragon, one of the few master craftsmen on the continent of Anna.

He was a ruthless person who caused a great disturbance at the Mage Tower not long ago and escaped unscathed, leaving the Anna royal family and members of the Mage Tower tacitly aware of the need to keep the news a secret.

Why are you here?

Judging from the conversation... Rainbow Rain had contact with her before?
Judging from the atmosphere, Elaine Vie didn't seem very friendly.

Elsa glanced at Black Heron's reaction and smiled almost imperceptibly.

She stepped forward and said, "Lady Arerave, we didn't expect you to come looking for us."

Aleira scoffed impatiently, "I know what the person behind you is thinking, and I could agree to his request, but..."

A fine, molten gold luster was faintly visible on her body, and the intense heat emanating from her caused the surrounding scenery to distort slightly.

"Since you are his agents and obey him, then fight me first!" Areravi stomped her feet on the ground, her voice like thunder. "Satisfy me, and then we can continue our dialogue!"

The abrupt turn of events left Black Heron completely bewildered.

Just then, Gloria pointed at her.

"This person is not a member of Rainbow Rain; they just happen to be traveling with us. Please do not involve outsiders."

"Hmph, you don't need to tell me, I won't involve the innocent!"

As if to verify her statement, the immense magical power contracted and condensed as if it were a tangible force. Although it was still terrifying, it cleverly bypassed the small area where Black Heron was located, as if forming an invisible haven around her.

However, this did not lessen the shock in Hei Lu's heart. She watched helplessly as the Rainbow Rain team entered a battle-ready stance.

What a joke.

Are you going to fight Eleravie?
The fierce battle has begun.

The first to strike was the Spirit Sorcerer Rona. Before his pillar of fire could even reach Arelavi, it was completely absorbed by the fire element she had condensed on her scales.

This maneuver ironically granted Areravi a free fire barrier.

Golovin threw his spear.

The spear's blade struck Arela's shoulder with pinpoint accuracy, the terrifying impact causing her towering frame to slump slightly, and even cracking the ground beneath her feet.

However, that's all.

The spear tip, powerful enough to pierce steel and tear through magic, pressed firmly against that seemingly soft skin, yet could not penetrate any further.

It didn't even leave a trace of white residue, let alone penetrate it.

Golovin's most powerful throw couldn't even pierce her skin.

In front of the Black Heron, the entire Rainbow Rain team pitched in.

It was at this moment that, feeling the pressure, Eleravie swelled up rapidly and tore apart her humanoid disguise.

Under the moonlight, the magnificent true form of the dragon, which blots out the sky, and its enormous vertical pupils, filled with endless power and majesty and as molten gold, are reflected in the black heron's eyes.

The dragon's roar swept out like a tangible tsunami. Black Heron, which was directly hit, felt a buzzing in his head, as if an invisible hammer had struck the depths of his soul.

Her consciousness blurred instantly, the scenery in her vision began to distort and spin, and her body went limp uncontrollably.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting."

Elaeva flapped her wings, whipping up a whirlwind that stung the cheeks of everyone in the engrossed Rainbow Rain.

"Ouch..." she groaned, "Golovin, you bastard, Potato said it was all an act, what did you mean by that shot!"

Golovin shrank back.

"Lady Eleravia, you are a 9th-rank... I thought you would be able to react."

"What do you mean? Is it that my acting isn't good enough, and I can't keep up with your performance?"

"No, no, it's just that my acting wasn't good enough," Golovin quickly admitted.

If it were you, you would also back down if a dragon's gaping maw were to come right in your face.

Nafiel and Lenalya emerged from the shadows and checked on Black Heron's condition.

"No problem, they've been hypnotized and fallen asleep."

Jiang Heyi made ample preparations to ensure that what the black egret "saw and heard" was as shocking and vivid as possible.

The next step is to wrap things up.

Aleira whipped her tail, snapping countless trees in mid-air.

It then struck the earth with its sharp claws, leaving cracks in its wake.

"Alright, you little ones, all of you, stand up here."

Everyone in Rainbow Rain didn't dare to slack off and lined up as required.

Golovin swallowed hard. "My lord, what do you intend to do?"

Arera glanced at him: "Fighting me, and you're still all clean and tidy, without a single scratch? Is that even acceptable?"

Before anyone could think, Hagi Dragon unleashed a torrent of dragon fire.

Hagiron, she's breathing on it!

Strangely, the intense flames flowed over everyone's bodies, yet they only caused a burning stinging sensation and did not leave any marks.

The baking process only made them look like sweet potatoes buried in a pile of fallen leaves.

It was Golovin...

His hair was a little burnt, and some of his eyebrows had disappeared.

Golovin remained silent.

It should be retaliation, but...

Keeping quiet is probably the wisest choice.
