But before they had run more than a few steps, the deity of the Night Lizard People hiding in the shadows—Salrutaka—seemed to sense their intentions, and at that moment, the ground suddenly began to shake violently once more, swaying left and right, causing the lonely island in the center of the 'Valley' to crack under the strain.
At this moment, in Golande, above King's Square, because the Ether channel was collapsing, the screen in the sky also underwent severe distortion, but people could still see everything happening in the 'Valley' through the twisted images.
They saw a long crack emerging from the center of the lonely island. It spanned east to west, almost bisecting the island, and beneath the crack, a huge, pale spine was breaking through the crust, slowly rising into view—
And the opened fissure just so happened to separate Tainaric and Fang Hong to the left and right respectively, with Fang Hong being blocked on the side that could not continue forward, leaving him with no choice but to shout to the Lizardman Prince:
"Take the Light Cocoon to the Obelisk, strengthen the Sealing!"
"Hurry, there's not much time left!"
With Fang Hong's shouting, everyone's heart almost jumped to their throats at that moment.
Because they finally saw clearly what was rising ominously, it was the Bone Mountain that had appeared earlier on the fringe of the lonely island; it seemed to have finally broken free from the constraints of the light net, traveling from below the ground into this valley.
As it rose, the lonely island almost immediately shattered into pieces, four huge bone claws emerged from the underground and immediately reached for Tainaric who was sprinting forward.
But at this moment, the Lizardman Prince displayed incredible keenness; he dodged left and right, avoiding each claw that slammed down, then lunged forward, dodging the last strike. Ahead of him seemed to be the top of the altar.
But it was then that a black shadow descended from the sky; it was Toragotos flapping its wings, astonishingly landing on the altar's peak first. Tainaric was completely caught off guard, taking a step forward, he almost came face to face with the former.
Toragotos sneered, raising its claw to grasp at Tainaric.
When the onlookers observed this scene from beyond the screen, they all shouted out in unison.
But at that moment, a flash of silverlight shimmered through the darkness—Fang Hong was not idle either, although the sudden crack had blocked his way forward, he reacted quickly, immediately detouring towards another direction with a shorter distance to the altar.
As the lonely island was disintegrating, the Night Lizard People around seemed bewitched as they jumped into the Abyss below, paying him no heed, allowing Fang Hong to reach that place with little effort.
Fang Hong gestured, making the Energy Angel block in front of him—the Energy Angel had exhausted its Magic Power earlier and was now recharged to only about ten or so percent, just enough for a single Blink. But in this direction, the length of the crack was already sufficient.
He activated the command, blinked next to Tainaric, and without thinking, dashed headlong into Tainaric.
The two of them moved away from underneath Toragotos' claws, letting it only grasp the Energy Angel behind them. Seeing the cooked duck flying away again, Toragotos roared in fury, throwing the Construct in its claw, which smashed into pieces on the altar nearby.
Then it spread its wings and lunged at the two again.
But at that moment, the ground underneath the three of them suddenly stood upright amid a series of tremors, reaching almost a ninety-degree angle, causing the two men and the dragon to lose their footing and plummet downwards simultaneously.
But Fang Hong was the first to react, firing a Flying Claw upwards while reaching downwards—but Tainaric's falling speed was a bit faster than he expected, causing his grasp to miss.
It was then that he realized, the Bone Mountain had flipped up the entire lonely island, and its tail bone from below the Abyss twined around, grabbing Tainaric who was holding the Light Cocoon and pulling the Lizardman Prince downwards.
"Tainaric!" Fang Hong shouted loudly.
But the Lizardman Prince remained as calm as usual, just looking at Fang Hong and nodding at him, then forcefully tossed the Light Cocoon towards him.
At that moment, Toragotos also spread its wings, turning around in the air to regain Balance, it saw the Light Cocoon in midair and plunged straight towards it.
But to its surprise, the Light Cocoon did not fly towards Fang Hong but seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand in another direction, and then Fang Hong gestured, the second Energy Angel appeared behind him, blinked toward that direction, and securely caught the Light Cocoon.
The latter, its double-bladed feet stabbing into the altar, immediately leaped upwards in another direction.
Toragotos turned back only to discover the human youth who had tricked it before had reappeared not far away, still far enough to mockingly gesture a middle finger at it—the Magic Guided Conductor's Force Field Spell!
Toragotos, so furious it felt like its lungs would explode, mocked several times by the same trick, in its long life aside from Salrutaka, it seemed to have never suffered such humiliation.
But the more it happened, the more Toragotos calmed down, realizing that with its own splitting ability, if it didn't deal with that accursed puppet master first, it would only keep fruitlessly repeating itself.
With this in mind, it no longer changed direction but stubbornly decided to first crash towards Fang Hong.
Fang Hong realized his opponent had reacted, he sighed inwardly—Toragotos' split bodies were limiting its capabilities, but behind them, the master was still that cunning Giant Dragon. Although previously due to arrogance it had missed several opportunities, once it realized what was happening, its judgments were incredibly accurate.
