After I died, my personal maid rebelled.

"Turn around! Advance southwest!"

In the torrential rain, the mountain peaks collapsed, overturning countless trees. The huge shadow suddenly disappeared, and as rocks rolled down, a corpse, splattered with blood, fell off the cliff.

The crowd scattered, avoiding the falling rocks, and continued their full-speed sprint in the designated direction.

There was no time to mourn the deceased. The magician Sophia floated in mid-air, her staff glowing.

A magic circle appeared in the sky, rippling and folding like layers of waves.

Imprisonment!

The folds unfolded, like a transparent glass enveloping the clouds, or like flowing water rapidly falling downwards.

With a loud bang, the bone dragon was forced out of the space and revealed its form, then crashed heavily to the ground.

"Hold on!"

With a loud shout, Baird leaped into the air from the mountaintop, his demonic sword igniting with black flames. He transformed into a meteor, piercing straight into the head of the bone dragon!

Immediately afterward, Dane emerged from the jungle, his entire body clad in armor, like a charging rhinoceros, wielding his battle axe to meet the bone dragon's sharp claws.

The moment the two sides made contact, a violent force was unleashed, the ground cracked, and countless fragments of rock flew up.

With a sword thrust into the bone dragon's forehead, Baird chanted a spell at high speed, and flames on the magic sword suddenly erupted, instantly engulfing the bone dragon's entire head.

Black flames spewed from its hollow eye sockets, making the bone dragon look even more terrifying. It swung its body, its long bone tail splitting rocks and trees, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of Dane.

Dane stepped back, exhaling two thick breaths from his nostrils, and swung his heavy axe at Bone Tail, but was instantly sent flying by the ferocious force, his armor shattering in mid-air.

"dodge!"

Seeing Dane disappear into the woods, Baird disregarded everything else and hurriedly leaped down from the bone dragon's head. The magic sword in his hand shone brightly, and its pitch-black blade began to twist, transforming into a pitch-black dragon head that crashed into the bone dragon's claws as they were about to strike.

With just a single claw strike, the ground collapsed heavily, and the mountains were torn open with several deep ravines and gullies.

Smoke and dust billowed as Baird disappeared, leaving only the dragon's head still entangled with the claws, slowly corroding the bone dragon's body.

There couldn't be a better opportunity.

Not far away, Thorne wiped the rain from his face, half-kneeled on his galloping warhorse, and thrust his sword forward. Lilith followed closely behind, leaping off her horse, rolling a few times, raising her shield, and charging forward with a furious roar.

As the crowd surged forward, several mages unleashed a barrage of energy waves at the massive body of the bone dragon.

The battle quickly intensified. The bone dragon, besieged, struggled frantically, flapping its wings, which were over ten meters long, to disperse the heavy rain. The magic circle behind it suddenly lit up.

Maria activated her goddess magic, and strands of light shot out from the earth, binding the bone dragon and pulling it heavily to the ground.

The magic circle dissipated, and Thorne swung his sword without slowing down, directly shattering the scales on the bone dragon's body and tearing open a huge gash.

Lilith seized the opportunity to launch a shield bash, the accumulated power causing the bone dragon to stagger.

Several adventurers rushed forward, wielding heavy hammers and spears with extraordinary force, and the shockwaves from the battle caused the earth to tremble uncontrollably.

"retreat!"

Sophia, suspended in mid-air, could no longer hold on. With a loud shout, the light of her staff gradually dimmed. Everyone was shocked. In the instant the binding magic shattered, the bone dragon vanished from its spot and spread its wings in the air in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the magic circle re-form, Annie immediately spurred her horse forward, aimed her bow at the sky, and nocked an arrow.

The bowstring twanged like thunder, a storm arose, and the arrow shot into the sky like a meteor, hitting the bone dragon with perfect accuracy and severing one of its ribs.

The undead race's racial advantage was evident; the magic circle only flickered for a moment before suddenly stabilizing and lighting up!

"Annihilation of Hell, consumed by raging flames!"

In the collapsed and sinking ground, Baird spat out blood and chanted an ancient and obscure incantation.

A drop of ink stains the entire mountain forest; two extremely powerful forces clash in a place invisible to the naked eye, causing the earth to scorch and rise up in massive amounts of smoke.

"master!"

With the crisis averted, everyone gathered around Baird once more. An adventurer and Maria cast a healing spell, and green light seeped into Baird's body.

However, Maria was horrified to discover that no matter how hard she tried, Baird's body could not be effectively repaired; at best, she could only help stabilize his condition.

"Still southwest, pursue! The next attack is scheduled for five minutes from now. Don't worry about me, go heal the mage first!"

Baird knew his body all too well; the dragon's curse was etched deep into his soul, and the goddess's magic could offer him no help whatsoever.

Everyone immediately sprang into action. Annie rode down the mountain on horseback and reported to the leader, "The Bone Dragon has disappeared."

"It can't hold on any longer and is trying to avoid us." Baird slowly stood up, sheathed his sword, and calmly ordered Annie, "Go and bring Dane back. Treat him first."

"Yes."

The group of magicians stayed behind to rest, while Baird continued to lead Thorne and the others in pursuit.

He was too sensitive to the aura of the bone dragon; even though the bone dragon had the ability to traverse space, it could not escape the dragon slayer Baird.

In order to prevent the bone dragon from leaping over the space-binding magic, the mages must expend more magic power to increase the thickness of the magic.

There was no other way; these were lessons learned in blood. During their first attack, due to this oversight, they lost five squad members in the blink of an eye.

"Boy, is your sword fast enough?!"

Baird galloped down the hillside as if it were flat ground, and was even faster than a warhorse. To put it bluntly, he was the first strongman Thorne truly admired from the bottom of his heart.

That's incredible! With that kind of physical condition, he doesn't look like someone over sixty at all.

"What does the master mean?"

"If this continues, it will break out of the mountains and approach Twilight Moon City. If your sword is fast enough, try to cut off its wings during its next attack!"

Baird roared, "We can't let it wreak havoc on the city any longer! We must keep it in the mountains!"

"Understood!"

Thorne nodded emphatically, but the thought of the bone dragon's wing skeleton, which was several times thicker than a human waist, made him tighten his grip on the reins.

He can...

"Don't think about that! That little archer girl in your team is pretty good, have her assist you!"

"Yes, Master."

The group continued to follow Baird, constantly changing direction.

It seems the bone dragon hasn't given up on getting rid of them, appearing and disappearing in the sky from time to time, and starting to circle again.

The ground was muddy, and after a long march, the warhorses were exhausted. Just as Thorne was distracted checking on the horses, Baird suddenly pulled him down and led the group backward for dozens of meters.

Boom!!

The ground burst open, revealing an incredibly hot flower that bloomed in the mountains and forests, unleashing boundless waves of flame.

As far as the eye could see, the ground and forests were instantly carbonized. At the edge of the flowers, flames spread rapidly outward, and black mist obscured everything.

If Baird hadn't used his demonic flames to protect them in time, they would probably be nothing more than ashes drifting in the wind by now.

The demonic flames dissipated, but unexpectedly, even breathing caused everyone immense pain, their skin burning and stinging, quickly turning crimson.

Baird stared coldly at the bone dragon circling in the sky, while Sophia's voice rang in his ears.

"Master, that's ten minutes. After that, I won't be able to help anymore."

The sky wrinkled again, heavy rain drenched the parched land, and white smoke rose.

Sophia, her face deathly pale, slowly rose into the air with the magic stone in her mouth, her staff glowing once more.

This was her last resort. To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the Dragon Slayer being there, she would have run away after the first wave of attacks. How could she have fought the Bone Dragon to this extent?

Just then, Dane, who was standing on the ground shirtless, revealing his steel-like muscles, and spitting out blood through his nostrils with his fingers, had the same thought as her.

Everyone knew that this was the final battle. If they failed again, they would all have to rely on their own abilities to escape. No one needed to risk their lives for a calamity thousands of miles away.

Gripping his long axe, Dane licked his dry lips and walked step by step toward the bone dragon in the distance. He kept increasing his speed, determined to unleash his strongest attack.

The transparent space flowing above the sky suppressed the rising black mist and white smoke. The bone dragon crashed into the confined space with a bang, and its body slowly fell downwards.

It's now!

Dane charged toward the bone dragon like a hammer ready to strike.

The bone dragon attacked with its claws, while the giant axe slashed down simultaneously. The impact of their collision shattered the mountain ridge. In a hazy blur, the two forces collided like two torrents, creating dazzling streaks of light.

At the crucial moment, Baird joined the battle, his longsword igniting with black flames as he charged forward at the same speed. The two humans and the dragon no longer clashed head-on, but instead moved with the agility of flowing light, leaping and exchanging blows amidst the white and black mist!

The top experts finally revealed their full strength. White and black, light and darkness, two completely different flames burst forth on this battlefield!

The aftershocks of the battle nearly knocked Thorne off his feet, but his heart was pounding even harder. He stared intently at the massive black shadow in the smoke, while Annie, who had rushed over beside him, had already nocked an arrow, her fingers trembling uncontrollably.

"Penetrating Technique! Unleash!"

Sophia stopped maintaining the spatial magic, and in a flash, she waved her staff and appeared above the bone dragon, where rows of magic circles lit up one after another.

Immediately, she let out a loud shout, and countless beams of light burst forth, bombarding the bone dragon relentlessly. Scales and bone fragments splattered everywhere, causing the sky and earth to change color abruptly. The shimmering light illuminated the mountains and forests. The bone dragon prepared to dash away again, but the other mages had already quietly activated their spells.

As the folds unfolded, and light and shadow cut through the surroundings, the bone dragon crashed into the confined space the moment it flapped its wings.

Maria immediately summoned the Light Chains, rushed into the air to catch the falling bone dragon, and more than a dozen Light Chains bound and tightened around the bone dragon's neck, dragging it heavily into the embrace of the earth.

As layers of dust spread out, Baird and Dane swiftly charged out from the left and right, respectively blocking the bone dragon's two heavy claws that were about to fall, both spitting out blood.

Annie took a deep breath; the scorching air stung her throat. She steadied herself, drew back the bowstring, and the arrow pierced the storm, parting the smoke to strike the bone dragon's flapping wings.

With a snap, the sharp arrow pierced the base of the wing bone, creating a gap.

Thorne responded immediately, his figure flashing as he appeared on the bone dragon's body. He then unleashed a rapid two-handed sword strike, shattering both the bones and the blades...

Under the tense gaze of everyone, a section of the bone dragon's wing broke off.
