Chapter 273: Rescuing Sean

Chapter 273 Rescuing Shawn

Levi withdrew the palm he had pressed upon the small bone dragon's head.

His right hand transmuted into elements, becoming a hand of blazing fire.

Once the flames dissipated, his right hand returned to normal, the wound vanished without a trace.

Although the wound healed, the blood Levi lost was not restored.

Having been drained of considerable fresh blood by the little bone dragon, Levi felt somewhat weak.

The loss of blood was secondary; primarily, it was the power contained within the blood.

The little bone dragon drew upon the draconic bloodline power inherent in the blood.

With the bloodline power diminished, Levi would require a longer time to recover.

If too much was lost, it could never be recovered again.

The good news was that after Levi nourished it with his essence blood, the little bone dragon's strength had grown enough to birth a soul flame.

This meant the little bone dragon had transformed into a true undead bone dragon.

Though very weak, its potential was immense.

Levi instructed the little bone dragon to continue lying beneath the Dragon Blood Tree, guarding it.

Staying here also benefited the little bone dragon.

The little bone dragon died before reaching maturity; without external aid, it would remain this small forever.

The Dragon Blood Tree grew by absorbing the dragon blood of adult giant dragons.

The little bone dragon could slowly draw upon the dragon blood within the tree to enhance its own strength.

Absorbing adult dragon blood to strengthen itself.

This would affect the Dragon Blood Tree's growth, but it was also a benefit to the tree.

The little bone dragon nearby could stimulate and increase the activity of the Dragon Blood Tree's bloodline power.

Causing the Dragon Blood Tree to absorb more bloodline power and achieve evolution.

Both parties benefited from mutual symbiosis.

This was also why the Dragon Blood Tree suddenly blossomed anew shortly after Levi planted it.

Stimulated by the little bone dragon, the tree's bloodline power became active, allowing it to evolve.

By the second day, it wilted.

Because evolution required vast amounts of energy and nutrients.

The primary nutrients required by the Dragon Blood Tree were substances contained within dragon blood.

After subduing the little bone dragon, Levi returned to his room.

The little bone dragon continued lying beneath the Dragon Blood Tree, a faint sliver of blue light glowing in its eye sockets.

Fleeting and gone.

The soul flame settled and vanished.

The little bone dragon remained as before, like a withered skeleton, devoid of power.

In the afternoon, Levi reported to the Hall of Truth.

Only by borrowing the Hall of Truth's name could he be exempted from going out.

Naturally, Levi could not simply do nothing.

Every day he clocked in at the Hall of Truth, feigning a busy appearance.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Levi had already read most of the research materials regarding the Sun Flare.

He preliminarily understood what exactly the Sun Flare was?

Simply put, the Sun Flare was power belonging to the sun.

Abbreviated as Solar Power.

That was not entirely incorrect.

But it was not the sun visible to the naked eye, more like a sun in an abstract sense.

Using more advanced terminology, it was the Law of the Sun.

The Sun Flare involved laws and rules.

The power of laws belonged to deities.

It was the essential power of the world surpassing forbidden spells.

Theoretically, even legendary mages could not control such power.

The Sun Flare merely involved law power, it was not law power itself.

It resembled power manifested after law power materialized in nature.

Therefore, the Sun Flare possessed extremely terrifying potency.

Its manifested properties were also related to the Law of the Sun.

Scorching heat, high temperature, blinding brilliance, purifying darkness...

One of its special effects was "extreme suppression against undead creatures".

It could easily kill or erase undead creatures.

Even a legendary lich could not withstand the power of the Sun Flare.

Connecting what he knew, Levi discovered the Element Tower's research on the Sun Flare might carry some special purposes behind it. Research on the Sun Flare began as early as eighty years ago.

At that time, the Sun Flare was still too mysterious, its power too overwhelming.

Although noticed by the Element Tower, it was not studied in depth.

Until thirty years ago, when someone proposed the Sun Flare possessed extreme lethality against undead and dark creatures.

The Element Tower rapidly escalated their daily research on the Sun Flare, conducting massive experiments within just a few years.

Levi could discern these data points from the historical background of the research.

Nearly ninety percent of the research materials were compiled within the last thirty years.

Levi speculated.

Thirty years prior, the Element Tower had already backstabbed the legendary lich.

Knowing the legendary lich was not dead, they began seeking means to suppress undead creatures.

Especially means to suppress legendary-level liches.

The Sun Flare was then treated by the Element Tower as the most important subject to study.

Levi was somewhat surprised, not expecting that while planning to join the Hall of Truth to avoid the legendary lich.

In the end, he was still entangled in affairs involving the legendary Lich.

Fate is indeed a curious thing.

Winding round and about, only to return to where one began.

Levi rubbed his left middle finger, sensing the ridges of bone beneath the skin.

He now held two treasures belonging to the legendary Lich.

The Dragon Heart and the Golden Bone Ring.

Either item was undoubtedly a treasure of immense value.

Should this be exposed, some might even believe he was the Lich's disciple.

For who would trust that a legendary Lich handed such vital artifacts to a stranger?

"What does the legendary Lich truly intend for me?"

Levi himself could not decipher the other party's thoughts.

He shook his head, musing: Regardless of their intent, I shall act only in my own best interest.

In the afternoon, Levi departed from the Hall of Truth.

Stepping out of the Hall, he encountered a group of Crimson Class students.

All of them wore expressions of dust and defeat.

Levi felt surprise and shock. "What has happened to you?"

Baraha spotted Levi and spoke with drooping spirits: "Today was terribly unlucky. We met a swarm of Undead Archers. Everyone was caught unawares and driven back."

Suddenly, someone was teleported back, materializing on the plaza.

The teleportation token's destination was the square before the Elemental Tower.

The man cried out loudly, "Hurry and save Teacher Sean! He lent me his teleportation token!"

"He is surrounded by Death Knights and cannot return!"

Upon hearing this, Levi pressed urgently, "Explain clearly, what exactly is the situation?"

The man explained in broken fragments until everyone grasped the circumstances.

It seemed he had accidentally mislaid his teleportation token.

Since the token allowed only one user, Sean had given him his own token to return first.

Now, Sean was trapped within a sea of undead, besieged by a host of Death Knights.

The peril was extreme, demanding urgent reinforcement.

"Go find an Elder!" someone shouted in anxiety.

Over these past days, everyone had benefited from Sean's care, altering their opinion of this negligent instructor.

Hearing Sean faced mortal danger, they grew frantic immediately.

Levi stated, "It is too late for that."

Being Crimson Class students, contacting an Elder required navigating layers of bureaucracy.

Time was simply insufficient.

Sean could not endure for that long.

Levi surveyed the crowd, asking, "Who possesses a Return Scroll?"

The Return Scroll shared the token's function, merely being a single-use teleportation scroll.

The teleportation token could be reused.

Once daily.

Baraha raised his hand and produced a Return Scroll.

"I have one."
