Embarrassment of Golden Dragon Tails

"Human, I'll give you one last chance, either cancel the contract, or..." Inossus' golden brown eyes fixed on Vera, his gaze was cold, "Death!"

The sorcerer is in a very distressed state now, with black robes hanging on his body one by one, covered with smoky traces.He calmly straightened his messy long hair, and looked directly at the huge golden dragon through the darkness.

Their battle had lasted for nearly an hour. After the guardian circle was destroyed, it was meaningless to stick to the mage tower, so Vera attacked Inosus first, and wounded the mighty golden dragon as he wished.After that, they started fighting.

The mage was even more difficult than Inosus thought. Responding from the sneak attack, Inosus pulled up all his energy and forced the mage away from the mage tower bit by bit. close to the intended location.

Now, the mage has been supporting under his paws for nearly an hour, which has greatly exceeded Inosus' expectations.Seeing that the mage's mental power was almost exhausted and there was no way to escape, Inosus felt very happy. Success was close at hand, and he was about to avenge his shame, whether it was Tails's or his.

At this point, it doesn't matter whether the mage agrees to terminate the contract.Inosus decided to give him one last chance. If the mage insisted on refusing to release it, then he would be happier—killing the mage can also release the soul blood contract, and he can also avenge Tails and avenge himself. Let out a bad breath.

Through the remaining acid mist, Inosus looked down at the mage coldly, waiting for the mage's answer.The mage just got slow and enfeebled, now is a good time to strike.

Vera held a blue-gray staff in his hand, looked up at Inosus, and replied calmly and firmly: "No, never."

His answer was in the hands of Inosus, so Inosus narrowed his eyes and issued a final warning, "Human, are you sure?"

"Mr. Enosus, I don't like being coerced, and neither do dragons." Vera's eyes were sharp and determined, "So, my answer is obvious. And..."

The mage smiled meaningfully, "Are you so confident in your own power?"

Under the puzzled and disdainful eyes of Inosus, Vera raised his staff high.

After leaving the mage's tower, Tails flew straight into the distance, lest he be caught by the mage.It wasn't until the body of the Mage Tower disappeared that Tails stopped, landed, folded his wings, and began to reminisce about his actions just now.

Everything went surprisingly smoothly. When he flew away from the mage tower, he clearly felt the vibration when the foundation of the guardian circle was destroyed.Tails has no doubts, destroying the guardian circle, sooner or later, Inosus will be able to overturn the mage tower, find Vera, and then, uh... talk face to face.

A small stream flows quietly in front of Tails, and the bottom of the water is overflowing with stars.Tails pondered silently, waiting.Everything that happened recently came flooding in, filling his mind, making his head start to ache.So Tails buried his head in the cool stream, trying to relieve his headache and inner irritability.

The cool stream took away his messy thoughts, and under the sound of the gurgling water, Tails gradually calmed down.

Things can never go so smoothly, Vera knows the Soul Blood Pact very well, at least, far better than Tails.And with Vera's habit, he would not leave any defensive omissions at all, no matter it was the secret magic circle or the protective magic circle that had not been slightly changed.Unless... He never thought that he would really use these to deal with him.

No, no, maybe he thought about it, but he didn't believe it, or... he was giving himself a chance?Tails remembered that night four days ago, the mage came to his room at midnight and searched his whole body, but in the end, he did nothing.

Even if his little trick fooled him, but with the mage's understanding of the soul and blood contract, he should understand how important it is to consolidate those inconspicuous little spells and orders in time.

Tails remembered that in the past few days, the mage had never given any orders to himself, not even once.Moreover, I have been in tune with the wizard's spellcasting fluctuations several times, but I have never found any spells on myself.Is this because the mage was too careless, or... he began to trust himself, treating himself as a... companion?

Tails was confused.

The mage's ruthless words sounded in his ears:

"My lord, you can't pose a threat to me, and you can't take Tails away. Before you take him away, the contract will make him suffer unimaginable pain."

"Lord Inossus, if you insist on refusing, then you will really hurt him. You can't stay here forever, and it's impossible for Tails to leave. I'll be able to find him sooner or later. At that time... I can't Guaranteed what will happen."

His chest was congested and his heart throbbed.Tails scratched the pebbles in the stream with his claws irritably, flapped his wings, and hit the low tree crowns.After venting for a while, he simply changed back to his human form and lay quietly in the stream, letting the current take away his inner irritability.

Across a long distance, from the direction of the mage tower, there are still dull and slight sounds coming from time to time.Tails knew what those sounds meant, but he didn't want to care at all.

Until a dull loud noise came...

Tails' heart was suddenly clenched, and the detonation technique, Inosus's specialty, caused fatal damage to the enemy's eardrums and organs through the loud noise of the shock.

Tails clearly realized that Inosus was really angry.Although he still didn't believe that Inosus would threaten the mage's life, he got up from the water and looked in the direction of the mage's tower involuntarily.

After a while, he spread his wings and flew towards the mage's tower.

The amulet on the chest glowed dimly, forming a protective shield around Vera to resist Inosus's attack.This golden dragon has already made a killer, and Vera is not to be outdone.He chanted quickly, flexing and stretching the five fingers of his left hand rapidly, and slowly swiping the staff with his right hand.The spell was about to be completed, a smile appeared on the corner of Vera's mouth, and her eyes were terribly calm.

Protected by the amulet, he slowly raised his staff for the final blow.

Soul cracked.A haughty gold dragon would not understand the horror of this spell.Using this staff as a medium, it can absorb the vitality of the caster and launch a very lethal attack on the enemy. When used in conjunction with the disintegration technique, it can disintegrate all barriers of the opponent and directly attack the opponent's body, causing fatal damage from the inside out. s damage.It can't kill a middle-aged golden dragon, but at a high price, it can severely injure the opponent.

The power of spells passes through the fingertips, following the guidance of the mage, and condenses on the top of the staff, ready to be triggered at the touch of a finger.

The tip of the staff pointed to Inosus.The last chant has been uttered, and the spell is about to be completed.

At this time, Inosus launched a final blow to the crumbling barrier.

At this moment, a golden figure rushed over and inserted straight between them.

As soon as Tails came to the mage tower, he felt the familiar fluctuation.Almost instantly, Tails' pupils shrank.Unlike Inosus, Tails knew exactly what the mage wanted to do.The soul splitting and cracking technique is enough to seriously injure an adult golden dragon, and the price... is almost the entire life.

His mind went blank, and before he could react, Tails had rushed between the mage and Inosus.Immediately afterwards, he rushed towards Vera, intending to interrupt his chanting despite the unbearable pain.

Just then, Vera's chants stopped.

The highly condensed magic burst, part of it rushed towards Tails like a tide, and the other part rushed back along the staff, screaming and tearing everything apart.Vera held the staff tightly, pursed her thin lips, and tried to dispel the spell with all her willpower.Soon, his tiger's mouth was torn, blood stained the staff, and flowed down the fingers.The original tattered black robe was almost torn into pieces, flying in the violent vortex of spells.Immediately afterwards, Vera put the staff on her left hand, clenched it tightly, held her breath, and tried her best to control the spell.

Tails froze in front of the mage, completely unsure of what to do.He never expected that the backlash of this spell would be so fierce.But in the face of spell backlash, no one can help.

His heart ached again, and Tails stopped breathing when he looked at the mage who was struggling to stand in a mess.

The spell was quickly controlled and dissipated in the air along Vera's body.Vera spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to support her body any longer, and fell to the ground.

Tails involuntarily turned into a human form, took a step forward, and reached out to the mage.

At this moment, Tails' neck tightened, and Inosus also turned into a human form, picked up his vest, and threw Tails into a hidden magic circle.

"Stay in there, I'll talk to this human being." Inosus said coldly.

Immediately afterwards, he came to the mage and asked condescendingly, "How? Despicable human being, do you still insist on your ideas?"

Vera wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and replied, "Yes, I insist. As I said, I don't like being coerced."

"Very good." Inosus nodded, "Then, enjoy the fate you choose."

As he spoke, he grabbed the mage by his collar, lifted the mage up, and wrapped his other hand around his neck.

"Inossus!" Tails called anxiously. This magic circle is very similar to the one in the palace of Emperor Andrew the Great. It can imprison the creatures in it and temporarily isolate the soul and blood contract—it's just much simpler.

"Tals, stay well, this has nothing to do with you." Inosus turned to Vera, "This is your choice, I gave you a chance."

Ignoring the mage's futile resistance, Inosus began to exert force.

Tails anxiously tried to break the circle, but to no avail.Seeing that the mage's face turned purple, he simply gritted his teeth and rushed towards the magic circle.One stroke, another stroke, at the fastest speed, Tails violently destroyed the magic circle and rushed out, just in time to snatch the mage from Inosus.

The mage collapsed on the ground, his face was livid, and he was panting heavily.Amidst the mage's difficult cough, Tails squatted down to block Inosus' cold sight.He reached out to Vera, as if trying to lift him up.When he was about to touch the mage, his fingers froze in mid-air.Tails looked away, retracted his hand, and his eyes fell on the traces of spells all around.

The devastated surroundings are shocking.After nearly an hour of fighting, there was hardly any solid ground within sixty feet.All the plants and trees were reduced to ashes, with cracks running through them, exposing the scorched roots underground.

Tails was secretly startled.If he hadn't come here, then he would have seen more than that. There would also be Inosus who was seriously injured, and... a mage who lost most of his vitality.

Sourness and bitterness intertwined, filling Tails's chest.His throat was uncomfortably congested, and the corners of his eyes were sore. Tails closed his eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed the bitterness in his heart, opened his eyes, and met Vera's deep gaze.

Tails sighed, avoiding Vera's sight, and said calmly: "Vera, let go."

Vera's body froze slightly, and her slender fingers trembled.Immediately afterwards, he pursed his lips, looked at Tails, raised his brows slightly, and his eyes were complicated and difficult to understand.

"Let it go." Tails sighed, ignoring the mage, "It's not good for you or me."

Vera didn't answer, the blood on her face faded, and she looked a little pale under the starlight.

After a while, the mage raised his head, looked at Tais intently, and asked, "Tals, are you lonely?"

His voice was very soft, like velvet.

Tails shook his head, "You know, for dragons, freedom is above all else."

Time passed slowly, and every second was elongated. In the hazy darkness, each other's breathing was clearly audible.The mage's breathing was longer than usual, and the ending trembled.

silence.

When Tails thought that Vera would not respond again, the mage spoke.He said, "Okay, as you wish."

This answer was so unexpected that Tails could hardly believe it.He looked at Vera in astonishment, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

A deep and soft incantation sounded, echoing in the night.Tails clearly felt that the shackles imposed on him dissipated bit by bit.

The Soul Blood Pact has been lifted and he is free.
