"Uh..." The old monk, who was choked, did not seem annoyed.
Having worked with Angers for so many years, even the strongest temper has long been worn away by time. Only Frost, the acting head of the Gattuso family, is young and energetic, always going against Angers.
Since Angers had already made things clear, he simply went straight to the point: "The method of bloodline enhancement..."
"Before I even had a chance to ask, this old guy really tricked me. Let Harris tell you the details."
Angers had no time to waste words with the old monk; all he could think about was what Cao Han, whom he had left behind, would do.
When you put yourself in someone else's shoes, no matter what the outcome, you're left with a lingering sense of powerlessness.
His proud Word of Power, Time Zero, was so pale and powerless in the face of the tsunami, which was like a natural disaster.
Even though the helicopters were moving away at full speed to keep their distance from the tsunami, the sheer scale of the massive tsunami was even more striking when viewed from above.
"If you were in my shoes, what would you choose?"
"do not know."
"No solution!"
"You can only sigh in vain. Did you encounter the King of the Ocean and Water? Otherwise, how could he use the world-destroying power of the Word of Power: Return to the Void?" The old monk was not present, so he was very puzzled.
When faced with this question, everyone else, including Angers, shook their heads.
It can only be said that their understanding of dragons is extremely limited; most of their knowledge comes from exploring ancient ruins and deciphering dragon script.
Even if you go through great lengths to decipher the information, it may not be true or useful.
Never assume that anything recorded by the Dragon Clan is necessarily useful.
Sometimes, the inscriptions on certain bronze pillars and stone tablets are like diaries, containing meaningless information such as what I did or ate that day.
For example, the periodic table of words of power was also derived through continuous organization and summarization.
Low-sequence Words of Power are relatively easy to understand, as data can be continuously collected through use by hybrids. However, the higher the sequence number of the Words of Power, the more vague and inaccurate the effects and data become.
Like this time's Word of Power: Return to the Void, that is an exclusive Word of Power belonging to the Dragon King's level of ancient authority.
What is the effect of words?
The only way to find out is to ask the people of the buried Atlantis civilization after you die.
Most of what we know now is based on guesswork.
The thought that the final battle against the dragons would involve facing such world-destroying incantations... even the most determined person would inevitably feel discouraged.
"A huge, huge... giant sword!!!"
"Grass (a type of plant)"
"WTF! Am I seeing things?"
The people inside the helicopter's belly were still somewhat lost when they heard the pilot's various simple and crude exclamations through their headsets.
The events that unfolded in the face of the tsunami were so shocking that they were forced to reconsider their worldview.
A super-duper long and huge giant sword appeared out of thin air in mid-air, and then, as if controlled by some mysterious force, it relentlessly cleaved and weakened the tsunami that was also carrying an unstoppable force.
It was neither a sword nor a knife; it looked more like a long, narrow object hastily pieced together.
However, this long, narrow object inexplicably gives people a sense of sharpness that can cut through anything; this is the effect of the Word of Judgment on it.
When Angers, Elizabeth, and Harris all turned to look at the shore, they witnessed the same scene.
In the blink of an eye.
The once invincible tsunami was reduced from a height of 100 meters to about 30 meters under the constant slashing of the giant sword.
This scene, which shattered all moral values, left everyone speechless!
"Is this really something a hybrid can do?"
The same thought occurred to everyone on the helicopter, and they all began to wonder what kind of spiritual power could achieve this.
The first suspect would undoubtedly be the renowned Sword Master.
Once this incantation is released, it creates a large domain that allows for precise manipulation of metal objects within it, perfectly matching everything they see and witness.
That ship-slaying blade, hastily pieced together from metal, could do that.
But isn't Cao Han's Word of Power supposedly not the kind of instantaneous or zero-time type?
Most hybrids still hold the view that each hybrid can only possess one Word of Power.
Even if a Word Spirit can be upgraded to another Word Spirit under certain specific circumstances, it is still from the same series.
If I remember correctly, Setsuna and Time Zero both belong to the Sky and Wind series of Words of Power, while Kenshin belongs to the Bronze and Fire series.
Does it possess two different dragon bloodlines simultaneously?
Isn't this just some kind of far-fetched tale or myth?
It's true that the Dragon King can use other elemental incantations through his authority, but hybrids can't do that.
Perhaps because of Cao Han's resolute act of killing the next generation of the species, no matter how absurd it was, no one dared to speculate that Cao Han was the Dragon King.
Even in the Dragon Clan's society, the next generation would be considered a prince, a position of great prestige, and the Dragon King might not be so willing to deal with it so decisively.
The best example is Odin, the king of the sky and wind.
Let alone pure-blooded dragons, even hybrids, as long as they are strong enough, will be taken down without any waste.
Angers' eyelids twitched as he considered another possibility. He kicked Paul Fisher, who was lying like a dead pig inside the helicopter, and asked in a deep voice, "Are there still your accomplices in town?"
He suspected that the other party had accomplices in this town, and that the Word Spirit was none other than Sword Mastery.
Considering that this old codger was able to somehow elevate his bloodline to Alpha, which is S-rank, it's not unimaginable that his accomplices would also possess the same S-rank strength.
If an S-rank hybrid with the power of sword control could do something like this, it would be outrageous but not unacceptable.
To be fair, the others also immediately showed thoughtful expressions upon hearing this.
They followed Angers' line of thought and, upon reflection, also found it to make perfect sense.
“I’m the only one in town, and I don’t have any accomplices.” Paul Fisher didn’t understand how Angers had deduced that, but he immediately denied it.
However, his behavior seemed to others more like he was covering for his accomplices.
Invisible imagination is the most deadly!
Cao Han, who had just given his all, was still pondering how to explain the situation, unaware that the others had already come up with a reasonable explanation in their own minds.
Although the remaining 30-meter-high tsunami still caused some damage to this harbor town, it was not enough to completely reduce it to dust in history.
As for the castle located halfway up the mountain, apart from some parts of the outer wall collapsing due to its age, its overall condition is still fine.
In addition, due to its high elevation, the ocean water that surged up quickly began to flow downstream.
"The danger has passed, let's change course and go back to the castle first."
The elderly monk did not respond to Angers' request immediately, but instead quickly communicated with the captain through his headset, asking, "Is the ground situation currently such that a smooth landing is possible?"
"no problem."
"Then let's go back!"
After receiving confirmation from the captain, the elderly monk ordered the helicopter to return to the castle.
What you should know is that beneath the church in that town lies a second-generation dragon corpse of immense value and a giant spear that is very likely a divine artifact.
Even if they ultimately fail to obtain the bloodline upgrade method, the dragon body and weapons alone would be more than worth the price of admission.
Kassel College isn't without ways to improve one's bloodline level.
The Nibelungen Project is an open secret within the Secret Society. The board members all understand the specific principles, and the biggest obstacle is simply the lack of a sufficient concentration of bloodline power extracted from dragon bodies.
But one code equals another.
The Nibelungen Project also has its limitations; its role is more inclined to help hybrids break through constraints and reach new heights.
Moreover, the blood of dragons is poisonous.
A person can only use the Nibelungen Plan once in their lifetime.
In comparison, Paul Fisher's method of rising from B-class to S-class is undoubtedly more valuable.
Given the limited time they had, they hadn't flown very far, so their return wouldn't be long.
Upon landing, the first thing Angers did was take out his phone and contact Cao Han.
"Beep, beep beep... beep beep..."
Unfortunately, all I got was a dead tone indicating that the call could not be connected.
The phones of 04 weren't as high-tech or waterproof as later models.
Speaking of which, Cao Han was still using that pink Sony flip phone that he had swiped from Su Enxi. In order to reduce the power of the tsunami as much as possible, he persevered until the very end and endured the first wave of impact damage from the tsunami.
My legs remained standing in place, completely unaffected, but I still couldn't escape being submerged in seawater, and my phone in my pocket naturally suffered the same fate.
A cell phone isn't an Oreo cookie that will stop working immediately after being soaked in water.
"A good man will go to the end and send Buddha to the West."
Sometimes having too strong a sense of perception isn't a good thing; at least Cao Han could hear a lot of calls within his perception range.
There were elderly people, children, and women.
He knew perfectly well that he couldn't save everyone, and that he had already done everything he could.
The good news is that he's not the only one taking action; many others are helping others while ensuring their own safety.
"Hao Ren!?"
To Cao Han's surprise, he actually saw a fellow countryman he had met briefly on the ferry on the roof of a building.
This guy truly lived up to his name as a "good person." Despite being soaking wet and in a sorry state, he didn't forget to use the swimming ring in his hand to help the people around him who couldn't swim.
Throw out a swimming ring for someone to grab, then pull it little by little up to the roof.
They kept repeating this action.
Seeing this, Cao Han quickened his pace.
For ordinary people, the greatest danger is the various kinds of "garbage" swept in by the backflow of seawater, but for him, it doesn't exist at all.
Even the hardest metal objects hitting him cause no pain or itch.
