Chapter 548: Chapter 490: The Bonds Between Arch-Enemies

Above the desolate wilderness, a gigantic silver-white flying dragon was circling the sky.

Rippling layers of energy surrounded the dragon, seemingly forming countless layers of shields.

A silver light rose from the ground, shooting towards the flying dragon.

However, when it touched the rippling layers of energy, it directly halted as if frozen in mid-air, until the flying dragon passed by; then the silver light continued towards the sky but could no longer find its original target.

Queen Katherin of the Elves retracted her longbow, praising, "What an impressive time distortion effect, Naomi has become much more powerful than before."

The dragon in the sky was naturally Naomi transformed into a Time Dragon.

After learning that the Magic Dragon Tyrant was likely to revive, Amberser began preparing to confront this millennium-old evil.

Be it in any story, a tyrant conquering everything could be the ultimate villain, and giant dragons are the most common and fitting villains; as for one who controls time... well, a tyrant, a giant dragon, and time combined, Amberser had to place the Magic Dragon Tyrant among the strongest opponents he had encountered in his life.

Yes, an opponent even stronger than a deity.

Because the power of the Magic Dragon is not limited, Aeo wouldn’t slap the Magic Dragon Tyrant when he’s bullied by him.

However, Amberser lived in an era without Time Dragons, so even with centuries of adventurous experience, he did not understand the true danger of the Time Dragon.

Therefore, he could only ask for Naomi’s help.

Naomi could transform into a Time Dragon for a short time, but being too young, it was unknown how much of the Time Dragon’s power she could utilize, so Amberser still needed to request the help from some of the strongest people in the world to "test" her.

The arrow just now was a magic arrow shot by Queen Katherin of the Elves, possessing automatic tracking and armor-piercing effects, even using dispel magic arrows, but it had already been influenced by the chaotic time around Naomi’s body.

But Amberser said, "Don’t go easy, you hardly put any strength into that arrow."

Queen Katherin gave Amberser a glare; the Lich was indeed ruthless.

"Aren’t you afraid of hurting Naomi?"

From the beginning, Queen Katherin disapproved of the contract between Naomi and Amberser, who treats a druid as an animal companion. However, since Naomi was willing, Queen Katherin could not stop her. The Elf Queen had always been worried that Naomi was not treated well by Amberser, who never shows mercy when enslaving others.

"Hurt her? This is the Connected Dream Realm, you have been here before."

Amberser was not a devil; he would not really let Naomi use her own body to resist the Elf Queen’s arrows.

But Queen Katherin said, "The body won’t be injured, but the spirit will take damage."

Previously, during drills in the Connected Dream Realm, several commanders of the Elf Tribe wanted to use their bodies to experience the effects of a great sea battle. The body won’t be injured, but after being pierced by those dream Murlocs a few times, they would wake up with continual headaches and took weeks to recover fully.

This was merely the body being pierced by a harpoon; if Queen Katherin were to use her Divine Longbow at full force, it was very likely that Naomi would suffer severe spiritual trauma.

"Don’t worry, this kind of damage affects the soul, and that’s what I’m best at. Plus, Naomi is currently in a druid transformation, generally, any damage received during the transformation disappears once the transformation is over."

Amberser was of course aware of the consequences and had already made preparations.

No matter how much damage Naomi took in the dream, as long as her entire soul wasn’t shattered, Amberser could repair it.

Druids are famously resilient, it’s very difficult to kill a druid, not to mention leaving any indelible trauma.

Queen Katherin had no choice but to follow Amberser’s command to draw the bow and shoot.

But she still couldn’t bring herself to give her all, only executing half the power of the artifact.

An arrow shot out, like a meteor chasing the moon, a brilliant trail of light following a splendid arc, accurately landing on Naomi’s wing.

Queen Katherin still showed mercy, not daring to target vital points, she could only pick these less critical areas.

Naomi’s outer time barrier was still functioning, but this time it could only pause the Magic Arrow momentarily, rather than stopping it in the air completely.

When the Magic Arrow resumed, the starlit arrow brushed past Naomi’s wing, leaving a gigantic wound.

In pain, Naomi could no longer maintain flight, beginning her descent towards the ground.

Amberser merely cast a Featherfall Spell on Naomi, then turned to another spectator, "Arthur, did the Magic Dragon Tyrant also defend himself this way in the past? The effect doesn’t seem that great?"

Standing beside Amberser, Arthur Laine shook his head, "It wasn’t like this. Although I don’t understand how the Time Dragon exercised its power, the Magic Dragon Tyrant didn’t use the Power of Time this way in the past. He was much more acute. All intentions landing on the Magic Dragon were perceived by him, and he would influence time before the attack was even launched. For example, if I now wanted to swing a sword at the Magic Dragon, by the time I had the thought, it might have already sped up or slowed down, rather than waiting until the attack was right on him to freeze time."

Theoretically, the Power of Time can control the speed of time, accelerating, stopping, reversing, it looks similar, but the expenditure completely varies depending on what it’s applied to.
