Cthulhu Gonfalon - Chapter 77

Sui Xiong couldn’t determine if this red dragon who was sleeping in the lava was the super evil Yushes Clyde or not. If this was the case, then as a righteous person-- -- or a righteous jellyfish, he felt that he himself had a responsibility to act for the Heaven, beating the skull of this evil doer, extracting its spirit, shooting out his blue ice into the fire, and sending out one hundred years of his passion.

If it was not, then this was another story.

"We can’t let bad guys get away, but first we can’t wrongly accuse good guys. Suspecting is not

a standard in a modern law." Sui Xiong muttered to himself, roaming around the mountain.

Wanting to make an accusation required a witness and an evidence.

He had already found the target quickly, which was lying at the end of the small stream next to a

deep lake leading to nowhere and a small underground forest.

Due to the lack of sunlight, the plants had strange shapes. They weren’t tall, big, or

verdant. There was a peculiar sickly vibe emanating from them. In this forest there were a bunch of

Elves in frugal clothes with faces covered in dirt, struggling and lying at sixes and sevens in the same place.

"Very good; witnesses and evidence are all here." These Elves clearly had been sacked. Sui Xiong noticed

that there were many burn wounds on them and then slightly nodded.

This could be considered as trusted material evidence. What he needed to do now was find a witness

and carefully interrogate them.

Those Elves had to have steel nerves to sleep soundly beside an evil giant dragon, but in

fact they were actually hypnotized by a black art power. A giant black art formation had covered the

forest completely, including the Elves. Sui Xiong scanned around then immediately figured out this

black art formation was not profound, but merely a hypnosis black art. But a series of specific structures made the effect of the magic increase tremendously to the point that the Elves, who

were normally not easily affected by hypnosis black art, were beaten. Not even one of them could

successfully fight back.

If the one designing that black art formation was that red dragon, then it was indeed multi-talented.

Of course, multi-talented giant dragons were everywhere. In fact, as long as one could live long, being multi-talented was a matter of course. As the growth of an ability merely relied on the accumulation of time. Learning skills was a way to kill time here, so what else could they do to entertain themselves with this endless time?

Well, the giant dragons had another way to do so, which was sleeping. Their sleep could take up

three to five years. Time of course flew by.

Because their power could be enhanced through sleeping, the giant dragons usually chose a place that suited their characteristics to sleep. For example, the Red Dragon would choose to sleep in lava, the White Dragon would choose to sleep in an ice cave, the Rock Dragon would choose to sleep in a pile of rocks, the Ice Dragon would choose to sleep in ice...

For now, this undetermined Red Dragon - Yushes Clyde was a good example.

Sui Xiong observed for a while then swung up his tentacles and drew out a few black art symbols in the air. After that, he circulated a flow of dark power, which formed into a small black art formation and was steadily embedded in the original one. It was like opening a hole on top of the original formation and letting a gush of light blue smoke slip in. The tentacles looked as if they were wrapping around the Elves inside his powerful energy and dragging them out.

Sui Xiong curled his tentacle, grabbed an Elf, and secured it on his back. After deactivating his magic, he piggybacked this Elf and quickly left the cave under the ground.

After arriving safely on the ground outside, he cast his magic to wake the Elf up.

To be honest, a Jellyfish and an Elf couldn’t have a happy conversation. The Elf was already acting like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow and was exceptionally flustered. If it weren’t for Sui Xiong’s powerful suppression, he would have helter-skelter run away to other tribe members to inform them.

But when facing a mighty eccentric jellyfish which was fuming, his objection was invalid. He could only be a well-behaved child and cooperate with him.

But when he knew that Sui Xiong was looking for the evil Red Dragon to verify whether or not it was

guilty, he was a thousand times more stirred up, even using his arms and legs to explain, trying to

express the resentment in his heart.

According to what he said, there was no sign of the Red Dragon coming. Before that, their village

hadn’t had any relation with a Giant Dragon, not to mention conflicts. Their village was located deep

inside the Immemorial Forest and they had been living a quiet life. Except for the regular passing of the external caravan, they didn’t have any relation with the outside world.

The Elf used the word "any" many times to emphasize. Maybe he didn’t understand why he would meet this extremely ridiculous attack and was extremely distressed-- -- -a disaster was hard for people to accept.

After that, the Red Dragon raided in. Its attack method was like the one of the legendary "brutal

incinerator" - Yushes Clyde. First, for no reason, it set a fire, drowned the entire village in a sea of fire,

then laid next to the sea of fire, enjoying the scene of villagers miserably struggling in the sea while

grabbing other small Elves to devour.

At that time, this Elf with mediocre abilities luckily escaped from the sea of fire. When he saw this scene,

he daringly charged toward the Giant Dragon, wanting to leave some bruises on it.

After that, he was beaten into unconsciousness until now.

The more the Elf said, the more miserable and angry he sounded. He clenched his fist tightly. Due to

using too much strength, his nails had pierced the hollow of his hand. A drop of blood fell out without him even realizing..

His body was trembling non-stop. It was not because of fear but due to the uncontainable anger.

If that evil dragon were in front of him right now, he would have stormed over without any

hesitation, risking his life against that evil doer!

Sui Xiong had been silently listening all along. He tried to suppress the rage inside his heart, and forced himself to be calm, carefully looking at the Elf’s mind in case the Elf might lie. The Elf was full of anger and pain in his heart. There weren’t any schemes or lies.

And the tragic scene projected from his mind was exactly the same one that Sui Xiong saw from the

brawny nobleman in the Gerton’s dominion. It was even clearer and more cruel and brutal.

Sui Xiong saw that scene again and again many times, then finally closed his eyes, throwing out an

ice fog over his head.

The brutal scene made him outraged, unable to keep his calm he was about to blow up.

No I can’t be like this. I have to be calm if I want to fight!

"Very good. Right now I can confirm that this is not unjust." The floating jellyfish coldly smiled, swinging up his tentacles.

The blue aura flickered. In a blink, the Elf could feel a heavy tiredness coming over his head, but

couldn’t fight back and fell into a deep sleep.

Sui Xiong curled his tentacle to catch the Elf, who almost fell to the ground, thought for a while, then

gave him a memory weaving spell. After that, he put the Elf inside a small shelter that he temporarily

created on a tree.

"Try to get some sleep. After you wake up, the nightmare will end."

He was very sure about his magic. This Elf would not wake up for about two or three hours. Even if

he woke up earlier, he would lose several parts of his memory.

Like this, he could do everything in silence without anyone discovering it was him.

"Doing good deeds without leaving a name, I indeed deserve to be called a good man who learned to follow the good example of Lei Feng when I was young!"

After coming back to the cave the second time, Sui Xiong didn’t hesitate anymore and headed directly to the sleeping Red Dragon.

"Yushes Clyde, you have done too many evil things! Today is the day to pay for what you did!"

Last time, he also didn’t truly get close to the volcano crater, due to the many operating magic

formations around the giant dragon’s body, which gave it full alarm and defense. If he recklessly came closer, it would trigger the magic formation and wake it up.

Being woken up after being in a deep sleep, the giant dragon’s temper would be not be good. Taking Graupel as an example, except for facing Snowflake, whom she didn’t dare to get angry at, even if the one who woke her was her own older brother, she would be enraged.

Before, Sui Xiong couldn’t determine if this Red Dragon was a bad egg, and hence, he didn’t want to

make any fuss.

But this time was different and he came back here to pick a fight!

That wasn’t right, he was not here to pick a fight, but to sweep away the evil on behalf of Heaven!

The floating jellyfish’s body shook. The original body which was in a size of a hat inflated a few hundred

times bigger and in a moment turned into a monster which was more than ten meters tall. If it displayed

all of its tentacles, they would be enough to grab the Giant Dragon.

Although he might not need to use close combat, getting ready for it was necessary.

As he expected, when he got close to the volcano crater, a magic light suddenly lit up on the ground and

a marvelous magic formation appeared and hovered around him.

With just a glance, Sui Xiong could already figure out exactly what kind of formation it was-- -- it had

three layers of effects, which in order was: alarming, tying, then cursing. It could wake up the evil

dragon from its deep sleep and at the same time give it an advantageous war-starting condition.

The magic light turned into a black chain, wrapping around Sui Xiong’s body. This kind of chain was

pitch black, giving off a dangerous energy which frightened other people. At first look, one could

figure out this was not a good thing.

But Sui Xiong didn’t show any fear and swung his arm up. The blue aura was like a sharp blade slashing

the black art, which had turned into a chain. Along with a shrill sound, the chain collapsed as well as the

magic formation, which didn’t display half a point of effect.

It was not right. It still had an effect, at least it had completed its duty of alarming.

The sleeping evil dragon floating in the lava was awakened!

As the giant Red Dragon opened its eyes, the dark magic’s light on its body lit up;

ring upon ring of light showed up. There were several protection magic formations that appeared

on the body of the Giant Dragon. Its figure became blurry. The magic light surrounded its body and

shone brilliant beams and vibrant colors like a satellite.

"It is triggering magic, but not only that there are lots of them... This fellow is not only an evil

doer, but also a powerful caster!" Sui Xiong was somewhat surprised at heart, becoming more alert.

Everyone knew that a caster was the scariest enemy. In a blink, they could burst out their mighty power

with excellent control and assistant abilities, not to mention an unimaginable escape ability. Especially

with advanced casters, there would be one or two prepared magics (more than half of them were

transmission magic) on them. Once their conditions were satisfied, they would be triggered and

immediately effective without doing any chanting. And if they were in their magic towers, the number of

magics that could be triggered would increase several times.

At this moment, what Sui Xiong saw was such a scene.
