A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 348 The dragon belongs to the Old Church. What does that have to do with me, Chen Motong?
Inside the dance floor of Takamagahara, the collapsing ceiling did not harm the three people at all. Even Caesar, whose defense was the weakest, was in a state of extreme bloodlust, and the dragon scales growing under his skin were enough to offset the impact of the ceiling.

Lu Mingfei was the only one left, desperately trying to escape. This place was too dangerous; it was practically going to kill the idiot!
Yuan Zhinü was still embroiled in the smoke and dust, locked in fierce combat with Chu Zihang, who had found Murasame. Amidst the broken walls and ruins, the two figures once again locked in a deadly battle.

The whistling sound of blades tearing through the air at high speed replaced the long-lost dynamic rock music. With each swing of their blades, the two could carve a shallow, straight furrow in the midst of the mess on the ground.

Wine, glass, and wood chips were thrown into the air by the blast wave.

Chu Zihang slashed at her head, but Yuan Zhinu lowered her body, hooked her left foot over a long sofa, and kicked it at Chu Zihang. Then, she lightly touched the floor with her toes and, like a ghost, circled around to his side.

Come on, decide whether you will attack from the left or the right, and how to deal with a sofa thrown at you head-on?
Full of confidence, Yuan Zhinv circled around the aerial sofa from the left, just about to make her move, when she discovered that weapons made of flames—swords, spears, halberds, axes, and clubs—were coming at her one after another.

Out of the corner of my eye, I also caught sight of dozens of fire crows flying fiercely to the right of the sofa.

Using fire attacks from both sides? But these flames don't match the Word of Power: Monarch's Flame at all! What is this then?
Yuan Zhinv instinctively drew her sword to slash, attempting to extinguish the flames, but Chu Zihang suddenly jumped out from inside a fire spear at the edge, drawing his sword and slashing at her, leaving Yuan Zhinv dumbfounded!
A person merged into the flames? What the hell is that?
Aren't you a hybrid who fights head-on and honorably?

How do you give Genji a familiar yet disgusting impression of the old church?

A momentary lapse in concentration left Genji with no time to change her attack mid-air. She could only hastily raise her sword to defend herself, only to be sent flying by Murasame's full-force strike!
It slammed hard against the wall in the distance!
"What happened? Did they win?" The smoke and dust were too thick, so Caesar had to shut down Bloodlust and rely on the degenerated Kamaitachi to scout the battlefield.

Before Caesar could think any further, suddenly the air cleared, and a strong wind blew in, quickly sweeping away all the dust and smoke.

Chu Zihang, who was holding the village rain tightly, Yuan Zhinu, who got up from the ground, as well as Caesar and Lu Mingfei, all looked up at the same time.

What on earth was that thing? How did it suddenly rip the roof off?
Lu Mingfei's mouth dropped open: "A dragon? A grayish-white dragon?! Could this be the White King? Didn't Genjiro say it was the White King's remains? This thing can be called remains?"

Chu Zihang was bewildered. What had happened to Chen Motong? Did she even resort to using an incomplete mythical creature form to deal with Ince? At the same time, he looked away, guarding his mind and trying to suppress his own madness.

Genji was shocked at first, then suddenly lowered his head and covered his head. It hurt. In his mind, both Genji and Kazama Ruri's personalities suffered some kind of unknown trauma at the same time!
Caesar and Genji were similar; first, they stared in disbelief, then they knelt on the ground with their hands, completely lacking the demeanor of a noble young master, banging their heads against the ground. It hurt, it really hurt so much that they could only relieve and vent the excruciating pain in their brains by banging their heads against the ground.

Chen Motong knew that this state could not last. Even after advancing to Sequence 4 Manipulator and giving himself mental suggestions every day, he could only use the Mind Dragon form for two minutes now.

The reason for taking such a huge risk to launch this operation in the densely populated Shinjuku area was due to Inse. Unexpectedly, a Dream Walker was found grazing in the [Crawling Hunger]!
Having been through this stage before, Chen Motong knew very well that someone was definitely dreaming late at night. As long as someone around was dreaming, it would be incredibly easy for a dream traveler to escape the battlefield.

A simple dream jump is all it takes.

Ince leaped away, and among the extraordinary beings present, only she could catch up. Chasing Ince alone? That would be suicide!

Let Ince go? That's impossible. We finally caught Ince, and if he gets away this time, will we ever meet him again?

Therefore, Chen Motong chose to transform into a dragon. After transforming into a dragon, Chen Motong could interfere with the abilities of all lower-sequence individuals on the same path by highlighting her divinity, including the dream jump of the dream walker.

Divine interference from high-sequence individuals along the same pathway is often more suppressive than divine interference from other pathways.

“Interesting.” Xu Lie looked at the enormous dragon-transformed Chen Motong and exclaimed in admiration, while stomping his right foot on the ground: “Life Forging, Condensed Golem.”

The ground was shaking, and with thick smoke rising from the sky, more and more ordinary residents began to flee, thinking that the earthquake had caused a fire.

Although there was no acrid smell of burning smoke, with both an earthquake and black smoke, how could ordinary residents think calmly at this moment?

As Ince spoke, a concrete golem, almost as tall as Chen Motong and extremely humanoid, materialized beneath Xu Lie's feet.

If we're talking about extraordinary abilities, this is the ability of a classical alchemist in Sequence 4 of the Mother Path, but in reality, Xu Lie didn't borrow this ability from the Mother Nest in advance.

This was merely a deception. Xu Lie personally paid with spiritual energy to deceive the earth beneath his feet, allowing it to absorb the surrounding reinforced concrete and transform into a giant capable of free movement, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the mental dragon.

"What kind of ability is that?" Susie was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that Nono's risky dragon transformation would be blocked by the condensed golem summoned by Ince.

As if a tokusatsu drama had come to life, dragons and giants were engaged in a fierce battle in the city!
With a casual swipe of his claw, Chen Motong could tear apart the body of the Concrete Golem, dissecting away much of the soil and steel frame, but he couldn't sever the giant in one blow.

The Concrete Golem was weak in attack and lacked any skill. It was like the most rigid first-generation robot, with clumsy attacks that couldn't even break Chen Motong's dragon scales, but it still managed to stop Chen Motong.

Fingel knew things were going badly. He knew he couldn't give Ince time to recover. Ince was currently being disturbed by the divine power of the Mind Dragon. If he could free his hands and calm the disturbance, he could leave at any time.

That would mean all our previous efforts were wasted, so Fingel maintained the Secret Technique: Black Smoke while activating the other Secret Techniques.

"Boom!"

"Gugudong!"

A flash of lightning erupted in the cloudless sky above Shinjuku, instantly reaching the ground and striking Ince. At the same time, the surging mud from the ground transformed into solid concrete dragon claws, attacking Ince from below.

Attacked from both above and below, clearly giving Ince no time to quell Chen Motong's divine interference, Ince unexpectedly endured the lightning strike!
It vanished just before the concrete dragon claw struck it.

"Damn it! The Night's Watch!" Fingel's face turned grim. "Under the cover of darkness, the Night's Watch receives a tremendous boost." "It's nighttime now, so Ince's endurance must have received an extra boost as well."

"Roar!" Chen Motong was also extremely displeased. He smashed the much weaker Condensed Golem after Ince left into a pile of mud with his two claws.

In the end, they still couldn't keep Ince, which is really frustrating!
Susie was also a little disappointed, after all, she hadn't been able to keep Ince, but she was also watching Chen Motong: "Senior Brother Fingel, please turn around, Nuonuo, control yourself, change back quickly!"

“An incomplete mythical creature form cannot be maintained for long.”

"Oh, oh." Fingel hurriedly responded twice and obediently turned around. He had just seen that Nono's men's suit had been completely shattered as the dragon had turned to dust.

Chen Motong controlled her emotions, using self-suggestion and reassurance to barely return to human form. She put on the coat Susie handed her and quickly left.

Instead of chasing after Ince alone, they went straight to the costume room of the host club in Takamagahara. As the top-tier host club, it would be impossible for them to lack men's suits.

When Chen Motong first transformed into a dragon, he saw the dressing room. The damage wasn't serious; the clothes were just a little dusty, and he could wear them back.

After Chen Motong changed into the same men's suit as before, the three of them quickly returned to the interior of Takamagahara. They found Lu Mingfei frantically shouting at Caesar amidst the ruins, "Don't die!"

"Boss, don't die!"

His voice was so mournful it brought tears to the eyes of all who heard it. Even those unaware of the situation would suspect that Caesar was dead, given that Lu Mingfei could shout like that.

Caesar was clearly also annoyed by Lu Mingfei's wailing, but he forcibly suppressed his anger because the other party had activated the Word of Power "Don't Die" in an attempt to heal his spirit.

Chu Zihang quietly stood guard beside the two, holding Murasame in his hand, but he couldn't see Genjiro, so he guessed she had already escaped Takamagahara.

A pang of guilt flashed through Chen Motong's mind. When the dragon transformed into human form, the virtual personality had already been sent out to try to help ordinary people who had accidentally seen the Mind Dragon.

It's a shame that both she and her virtual personality overlooked Caesar.

Chen Motong quickly stepped forward, suppressing her own mental burden, and used her abilities to help Caesar heal.

Seeing Chen Motong approach, Caesar, not wanting to lose face, tried to force himself to stand up and give her a bright smile to show that he was alright.

To everyone's surprise, as soon as Chen Motong got close, the headache miraculously disappeared, and the mental pressure that had previously felt like a split personality dissipated.

Caesar attributed this miraculous effect to the power of love, to his affection for Chen Motong, which healed his emotional wounds: "Nono, are you alright?"

"No." Chen Motong gave the excuse he had already prepared: "When we were tracking Ince, we happened to encounter a powerful member of the Old Church."

"That dragon just now was transformed by a powerful member of the Old Church. We can't get involved in the fight between the Old Church and Ince."

Upon arriving in Tokyo, the Kassel group tacitly accepted that Caesar and Genjiro were negotiating, thus acknowledging Caesar's role as the person in charge of the operation.

Since he was in charge of the operation, it was natural for Caesar, the person in charge, to report after Principal Angers arrived with the large force.

They knew that the current principal of Angers was one of their own and a member of the church, but there were so many people in Kassel and the Secret Service that Angers couldn't possibly keep it from everyone; they still needed some excuse.

At that time, Caesar will follow Chen Motong's lies and push the Mind Dragon onto the head of the Old Church, so that Chen Motong and the other two will not be exposed.

The Mind Dragon belongs to the Old Church. What does it have to do with me, Chen Motong?
The prerequisite is that Ince, who knows the identities of the three, does not spread rumors to the outside world.

The thought of Ince finding out their identities, and the fact that they hadn't yet killed or captured Ince, made the three of them feel quite distressed.

Lu Mingfei looked around and suddenly felt that he had been somewhat superfluous in trying to save people.
"Let's leave here first," Chu Zihang said coldly. "If we don't leave now, people from various factions might arrive soon."

"That dragon from the Old Church was too eye-catching; I wonder how many people saw it. Even if no one saw it, the security cameras outside probably captured it."

“That makes sense.” Fingel agreed, then returned to the ruins and quickly rummaged through them: “Some of the alchemical materials I brought are scattered here, but the most important ones have already been found.”

"Let's not waste time looking for the rest of the materials. Let's go back to the hotel first."

Once Caesar regained his composure, he had no difficulty moving around and led his team away quickly.

But as soon as they left Takamagahara, they saw the shopkeeper, Humpback Whale, inexplicably kneeling before Takamagahara, tears streaming down his face.

It seemed to be weeping for the destruction of Takamagahara, the culmination of its life's work.
