Arcane Journey

The illusion dissipated like smoke, and the huge body of the ancient black dragon suddenly appeared in Brian's field of vision, bringing with it an irresistible shock.

Brian stared at the once-invincible creature in front of him with an interested look.

The Black Dragon at this moment was completely different from the arrogant and domineering one he saw when he first entered the illusion.

His eyes had lost their former luster, leaving only emptiness and dullness, as if his soul had been taken away.

In his huge pupils, pain and despair intertwined into an impenetrable net, binding him tightly and making him unable to break free.

And the broad wings that were once used to cover the sky and change the clouds and rain were now flapping weakly. Every flap seemed so powerless and so sad, as if telling of endless regret and unwillingness.

Every breath of the black dragon seemed to be telling of its desire for life and helplessness towards fate.

His huge body was shaking, not because of anger or resistance, but from the despair and giving up deep in his heart.

At this moment, the black dragon is no longer the terrifying king of the Underdark, but just a poor creature who has been teased by fate and has completely lost the courage to live.

Of course, in other words, this ancient black dragon is about to be destroyed by the illusion woven by Brian.

Brian nodded with satisfaction, and there was a certain meaning in his eyes when he looked at the ancient black dragon, as if he was looking at a work of art that he was very satisfied with.

Although this legendary psychic power did not make the ancient black dragon completely lose consciousness as expected, overall, the effect was quite good.

Next, Brian only needed to take the ancient black dragon's life with thunder and lightning when the dragon came to his senses, and the mission would be successfully completed.

So Brian raised his arm and held up the plain longbow in his hand.

There is no doubt that this inconspicuous longbow was given to Brian by the chief wizard when he was in the ancient city of Orens, asking him to return it to its original owner.

Brian had originally intended to return the longbow to its original owner after finding it, but he did not expect that he would be able to establish a special connection with it the moment he touched it.

In this situation, although he could not unleash the full power of the longbow, it would not be a problem for him to use part of his divine power to deal with the black dragon.

Without any hesitation, Brian had made up his mind. He moved his mind slightly and guided the surging arcane energy in his body into his left hand like guiding a river.

In a moment, with the blessing of this huge energy, his hand seemed to have become the center of the vortex of the universe, absorbing all the light around it.

Then, Brian raised his hand slightly, and the bowstring slowly pulled apart. This seemingly casual action, if seen by outsiders, would definitely be considered an ancient and solemn ritual.

As Brian's strength gradually pulled the bowstring apart, this seemingly ordinary longbow began to change miraculously, just as he had expected.

I saw a faint glow gradually appearing on the surface of the longbow, like the brightest stars in the night sky, emitting a soft but not negligible light, making the whole scene look like a dream.

Immediately afterwards, a strange feeling suddenly surged in Brian's heart.

It felt as if he had established some indescribable special connection with a mysterious force in the deep starry sky.

As the bowstring was pulled to the shape of a full moon, the connection grew stronger, as if the ancient contract between the stars and the apostles had been reawakened.

In an instant, powerful stars poured down like breaking through the void, and all of them gathered at a focal point of the bowstring. Then, these forces condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned into a deep blue arrow.

The arrow flickered with a faint light, like the most distant constellation in the starry sky swaying gently.

And at the moment when the arrow was completely condensed and formed, the deep starry sky seemed to respond to Brian's will and suddenly burst into a terrifying light.

At this moment, the surrounding space and time seemed to tremble, and even the surrounding air began to distort at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if even the huge cave of the Underdark itself was making way for this astonishing blow.

Seeing this situation, even though Brian had expected it, he couldn't help but gasp. He really didn't expect that this longbow could burst out such terrifying energy.

So, Brian stared at the arrow that condensed the power of the starry sky, and an unprecedented confidence and determination surged in his heart.

Because he knew very well that this arrow could definitely take the life of the ancient black dragon.

Brian's longbow displayed such great power and noise that it naturally alarmed the ancient black dragon at the first moment.

However, the Black Dragon, whose consciousness was on the verge of collapse, was not aware of the danger yet. He just looked around with a dull look like a walking corpse.

By the time his scattered consciousness gradually recovered, it was already too late.

“What is this?…” The ancient black dragon widened his eyes with a look of disbelief.

An inexplicable feeling of palpitations made him rush towards Brian like a madman.

As the ancient black dragon's terrified roar echoed in the depths of the cave, the torture brought by its distorted memories once again flooded into the black dragon's mind like a tide, submerging the few bits of sanity he had just recovered.

Then, after a tearing roar, the black dragon flapped its wings and suddenly took off from the ground, with gusts of wind created when its huge wings flapped.

At this moment, facing Brian's threat, he not only did not think of effective means of blocking and escaping, but lost his mind, like an out-of-control meteorite, crashing into the hard cave wall with an unstoppable force.

After a loud bang, the ancient black dragon fell to the ground in a mess, with broken scales and blood dripping, accompanied by a low and desperate roar, just like the helplessness and desolation after the last bit of dignity and sanity of the ancient black dragon was shattered.

"good chance!"

Seeing the black dragon fall to the ground again, Brian, who was constantly gathering energy, couldn't help but show joy.

In this way, he wouldn't have to bother locking onto the other person's figure.

So, Brian released the bowstring without hesitation, allowing the arrow that condensed the power of the starry sky to cut through the sky and rush towards the target.

A huge deep blue energy arrow cut through the sky like a meteor, coming straight towards us with a sharp sound.

The arrow flashed with terrifying divine light and instantly pierced into the black dragon's chest.

With a loud bang, energy surged like a tide, violently pushing back the black dragon's strong and twisted body.

The shock waves that tore through the air shattered everything around them. For a moment, in this huge cavernous area where arcane energy intertwined, there was only unspeakable fear and despair. (End of this chapter)
