Chapter 525 - 272: You Don’t Know
Previously, Li Ang saw the images of the Six Dragons in the magical illusion projected by Farina. The Water Dragon, with a jellyfish-like appearance, looked more like a fusion of aquatic creatures than a dragon.
But when its projection appeared, perhaps because its size matched its true form, or perhaps due to the power that shook the magic and Water Elements in the atmosphere, everyone present felt awe.
The pink-purple streamers were actually the tentacles of the enormous jellyfish-like body, and their ends, resembling barbs, were indistinguishable from the keratin-covered Dragon Claw upon closer inspection.
Two "streamers" descended from the heavens’ clouds, their oceanic pink-purple hue constantly shifting, resembling clear waters in motion; it was truly radiant and breathtaking.
The Dragon Claw at the tentacle’s tip was shrouded in storms. Though it was a temporary body formed from pure magic, there was no doubt about its power.
They hooked onto the edge of the Torrential Sword Realm and yanked outward, causing both Meluna’s and Meimei’s Domains to dissipate instantly.
Even the torrential rain within did not reach the ground but was instead drawn into the Water Dragon’s tentacles and wholly devoured.
Meimei was stunned for a moment, but her hands didn’t stop moving.
Meimei feared being subdued, while Meluna seemed driven by a need to fight until the end.
The Water Dragon’s dragon head protruded from the clouds; Li Ang had seen the complete form of this dragon earlier and knew that the magic he supplied only projected two Sharp Claws and a dragon head without projecting the full body to Mengze Island.
The Water Dragon’s head was enormous, far surpassing the Flying Dragons and Evil Dragons of the Flashing Field, and even Farina’s Dragon God Statue could not compare to the true Six Dragons.
It had backward-curved horns typical of Dragon Species but was covered in a skin resembling that of oceanic creatures, which constantly changed color due to bioelectricity. As it probed into the forests of Mengze Island, Li Ang could even see the surface flickering like a breathing light, shifting from pale pink to dark blue, from bright purple to deep black.
He glanced at his shoulder, and the Moon Concealing Rabbit was no longer there.
The Water Dragon’s projection extended the dragon head toward Meluna and Meimei, causing their hands to involuntarily stop.
"Lord Water Dragon," Meimei called out honestly.
Meluna seemed indifferent, but her Water Control ability had failed, forcing her to stop sincerely.
Surrounding them, the water they had summoned seemed to receive some command and was repelled. Now, besides their swordsmanship, all aspects of their talent were forbidden.
"The Water Dragon of this world can stop me now, indeed it’s the same source of power; I need to think of a way." Meluna muttered to herself.
These words made Meimei and Otto tense their brows, while Li Ang, knowing this person’s nature, was no longer surprised.
The Water Dragon opened its intricate and tooth-filled giant mouth, and slow, peculiar syllables emerged.
Li Ang recognized these as Dragon Language and thought about wearing the Dragon Language Ring, but it was already too late—the mouth had closed.
These syllables seemed like some kind of Decree, causing Meimei and Meluna to stiffen all over and jointly collapse softly to the ground.
The dark yellow eyes, like deep-sea beacons, glanced at Li Ang. The dragon head and tentacles retreated into the clouds, and the water elements gathered at this place scattered to the surroundings—the rain turned to mist, clouds drifted into the wind, and the foggy waterfalls and reformed streams spread to all corners, returning to Mengze Island’s cycle.
The Water Dragon projection vanished, tranquility returned, yet the Moon Concealing Rabbit did not return.
Li Ang looked around him and saw neither Farina nor Otto reacted, seeming to expect him to take charge.
Not far away, his team members were also making their way over.
"Li Ang, Li Ang!" Zoe called out loudly as she ran closer, followed by the others quickening their steps.
The chestnut-haired young girl crashed into his arms, hugging tightly and nuzzling him.
The other three also gathered around.
They had seen the distant Meimei and the traces left behind by the tempest’s passage.
"Meimei’s found," Zoe said upon seeing the white-haired girl.
Dorothy immediately asked, "What happened?"
Andasu and Alulu each held one of his hands.
Thud thud thud—
Everyone heard a noise, and after searching for a moment, they found it was Meluna staring fixedly in their direction.
She gripped her sword hilt tightly, her fingers turning white, the power of the Tier Nine Peak Swordsman was infused with magic, and even the hardness of Treasure Artifacts was under immense pressure.
Beside her, the Dragon Witch cautiously took a step back, but her expression was intriguing.
In contrast, Meimei was weak as she stood up with Otto’s support. Given her age, her fighting relied heavily on advanced experience navigating water flows for support. When the water’s favor was temporarily denied by the Water Dragon, she found it hard to act.
Meluna splashed the water on the ground as she approached Li Ang and the girls surrounding him.
Faced with this elder sister with a somber face but a somewhat shabby appearance, the girls were a bit puzzled.
After pausing for a moment, Dorothy seemed to understand something and nodded her eyes in realization.
Her expression was a bit inexplicably guilty, yet she clenched her fist and did not back away.
"You, you..."
Meluna raised a finger at the four of them, though her arm, unyielding even when faced with a Super Demon’s strike, trembled slightly now.
Zoe, still embracing Li Ang, turned to ask, "Who are you?"
The black-haired Female Swordsman seemed struck by lightning, her mouth opened, but the words were stuck in her throat, unable to utter any sound.
