The torrential rain washed over the silver-white scales, creating a mist around Kai. The next moment, a silver glow emerged from within the mist, forming a shimmering halo.
The words "little dragon" echoed in his ears, and at that instant, Kai felt an extraordinary force—something deep within his bloodline—begin to awaken inch by inch throughout his body.
Starting from his tail, the scales along his body began to glow with mystic light.
The light spread from his tail upwards, enveloping his entire wyrm form. At that moment, he seemed to attain sudden enlightenment.
His body froze in the air, letting the rain pour down relentlessly, as he fell into a state of profound stillness. For a brief moment, everything around him—his vision and hearing—was consumed by a complete, silent emptiness.
Shannon's voice broke the still air. Her scream penetrated the torrential downpour and sprinted into his ears. "Dodge the calamity lightning, Kai!"
At the same moment, Kai heard the thunderous crash of heavenly lightning from above.
He suddenly looked up, only to find that a thick layer of dark clouds had covered the sky above him.
The dark clouds engulfed the entire mountain peak, pressing down heavily as if descending upon him.
Before Kai could react, a red fire lightning, accompanied by a crackling sound, descended straight from the sky above him.
The red fire lightning was so fierce that it seemed capable of destroying everything in its path. It carried a familiar energy that caused his entire body to stiffen.
Kai remembered vividly that it was the Divine Power's energy, with the same heavenly lightning that had once scattered his mother's demon bones.
His eyes reddened. The red glow reflected in the fire lightning burned like flames within his gaze.
Kai knew he couldn't escape. But in that split second, he remembered Montaro was still on his back.
It was too late, though.
The calamity lightning was descending. He might not die immediately from it, but the person who had brought him this connection—his destined companion—would certainly not survive.
In a flash, Kai's mind raced. With a determined bite of his teeth, he coiled his body around Montaro, wrapping him completely in his protective embrace.
At the same time, the Special Security Agents, who should have been guarding the artifacts in Antique Village, all rushed out. Some flew on the wind, others ran swiftly toward the fire.
"I call upon the Water God, bring forth rain. The leopard rises, the serpent dances…"
"Water fills the dantian, the drought monster's form, five thunders strike. Swiftly, as the law decrees!"
"Five stars rise, dwelling in the earth. Water shakes, five thunders strike. Swiftly, as the law decrees!"
The deep, resonant chanting echoed from all directions, accompanied by commands of pardon.
The sky seemed to tear open in several places, and torrents of rain poured down, forcefully suppressing the heavenly fire that sought to spread.
Shannon's focus sharpened as she saw the heavenly lightning gathering once more above Kai's head.
Kai, realizing that Shannon had blocked the calamity lightning aimed at him, no longer dared to hold back.
