The Almighty Dragon General

In the darkness, James sensed an unfamiliar energy.
He had never encountered it before and could not identify it.
Bzzt! A harsh noise came broke the silence.
It sounded as if something had been torn apart or like the roar of an unknown creature.
It was a bizarre and unsettling sound.
However, the group of disciples were powerhouses at the Holy Celestial Rank To them, the strange sound was nothing to be
afraid of.
“Be careful,” Halevi reminded the group.
Then, he let out his Zen to the surroundings to find the source of the sound.
However, his Zen could only spread a few hundred kilometers.
Anything further was beyond his reach.
James also carefully checked their surroundings.
Unfortunately, he could not sense anything in the darkness.
The group carefully moved forward.
Swoosh!!! Suddenly, a strange shadow appeared, and a mysterious power permeated the air.
Halevi promptly reacted and launched an attack.
His powers confronted the strange shadow, but he was knocked away upon impact.
James quickly leaped into the air, caught onto Halevi, and dragged him to safety.
After being put down, Halevi spat out a mouthful of blood.
“That was some really strange power.” Halevi’s expression was solemn.

“Are you alright, Halevi?” “What the hell was that?” The group gathered together, scanning their surroundings warily.
James did not see the mysterious shadows’ actual appearance.
After Halevi recomposed himself, he turned to James and said gratefully, “Thank you.” James waved his hand and said, “It’s no
big deal.
Anyway, what was that thing just now? It was so fast.” Halevi shook his head lightly and responded, “I didn’t see what it was
either.
I only saw a shadowy figure flashing past...” Suddenly, Halevi closed his eyes and replayed the scene in his mind.
He casually waved his hand and recreated the scene in front of everyone.
He paused the scene exactly when he confronted the mysterious shadow.
Everyone stared at the scene projected in front of them.
The scene was blurry, similar to when a movie had been paused abruptly.
They could only make out that the shadow was not a human.
Nobody could identify the unknown creature.
Halevi reminded again, “We must be careful.
This mysterious shadow is quite powerful.
It managed to injure me after just a brief confrontation.
However, judging by how it only hides in the dark, it probably isn’t that strong.
If we work together, we should be able to capture it.” Although Halevi was injured, he gained a rough understanding of the
mysterious shadow's strength.
He concluded their opponent was afraid of them.
Hence, it hid in the dark.

James’ opinion differed from his.
He wanted to turn around and head back to the border world.
However, he did not want to miss the opportunity to join the Hagios Sect.
If he were to leave, it would be hard to come by another chance.
Ultimately, he decided not to say anything and followed the group.
In the darkness, there was no perception of time.
Even James had no idea how long they had been traveling in the dark.
Just when James felt like he was in a trance and was lost in the dark space, acastle suddenly appeared in their field of view.
It was a black castle floating in the darkness.
It looked very spectral as if it had suddenly appeared.
At the same time, it looked like it had existed there for a long time.
