The Almighty Dragon General

There were buildings on each of the peaks. However, most of them had already been turned into a pile of rubble. Besides that,
some of the mountains had collapsed, and the air permeated a battle aura that had existed a long time ago.
Swish!
Just as the group was passing through the pile of rubble, a radiant Sword Energy emerged from within a fissure and charged at
the Lords. However, Lord Samsong easily deflected the attack. He casually waved his hand, and a Sword Energy materialized
and struck a mountain range in the distance.
Rumble!
In an instant, the earth shook, and the region was completely destroyed.
As they traversed the piles of rubble, some unknown power that had been in existence since long ago kept materializing and
attacking them. However, as they were all powerful Lords, these powers did not affect them.
“Over there! What’s that?”
At that moment, a Lord pointed straight ahead. As everyone looked straight ahead, they saw an oil lamp in the abandoned
mountain range a distance away. The oil lamp was bizarre. Its wick was short, and the lamp glimmered with a faint light.
“Let’s go and have a look.”
Lord Samsong walked toward the oil lamp, and the others followed suit. Soon, they arrived at the place where the oil lamp was
located.
The oil lamp was not that big. Levitating in mid-air, it seemed to house a bizarre-looking oil inside. The wick inside glimmered
weakly, almost as if it would extinguish anytime.
“An oil lamp?”
“Why’s there an oil lamp here?”
“There must be more to this. Any object that appears in the depths of the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone must be extraordinary.
This must be a Chaotic Treasure. But, I wonder what the oil lamp is capable of.”
Many stared at the oil lamp, intrigued.

James watched the oil lamp closely as well. Upon sensing it, he realized that the oil lamp was made of a unique material. Also,
he sensed a mysterious power coming from the dim light.
As they were observing the oil lamp, it suddenly soared to the sky and dashed out of the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone into an
unknown region in the depths of the Dark World. Then, it disappeared without a trace.
Everyone looked at one another, not knowing what just happened.
Lord Samsong paid no heed to the lamp and said, “Pay no heed to the oil lamp. We should venture forward and cross the
mountain range. Then, we will arrive at a battlefield. I sense that the Light of Acme is located there.”
Upon hearing this, the others put the issue of the oil lamp aside and continued marching forward.
James, on the other hand, furrowed his eyebrows. He remained standing and watched the spot where the oil lamp once sat.
Sensing an extraordinary power and some bizarre inscription rules in the air, he casually waved his hand and tried grabbing the
void. The residual power of the oil lamp went to his hands. He observed the power in his hands and tried to see through the
essence. However, as this was the Dark World, he could not transform the power into rules. As such, he could not comprehend
them at the moment. So, he stored the power away in the Celestial Abode. Once he left the Dark World, he would research the
message of the oil lamp, perhaps through which he would be able to learn of some secrets of the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone.
“Are you coming or not, Forty-nine?”
A melodious voice came.
“What are you standing there for?”
“Coming!”
James collected himself and hurriedly chased after Quenby.
Quenby looked at him and asked puzzledly, “What’s wrong? Did you learn something new?”
James shook his head slightly and said, “Nope. I was just lost in my thoughts.”
“Alright then.” Quenby did not inquire further.
