Chapter 653: Chapter 22: Sky Lizard Kong Hunting Group

The brief deathly silence was broken by Ragnar’s low laughter. He gripped the hilt of the Burning Giant Sword, and the lava-like domain of flames swelled like breathing, emitting an even more scorching heat wave.

He looked Lynch up and down, as well as the ominously aura-emitting Destruction Golem behind him, his gaze carrying a predator’s amusement and a hint of barely discernible greed.

“Heh…” Ragnar’s lips curled into an aggressive smile, his voice like sandpaper scraping, “So young yet already mastering a domain, and capable of commanding such an interesting ’toy’… No wonder someone was willing to pay a fortune for your head.” Official source ıs NoveI(F)ire.net

“Saphiros Alsaas Diablo? Is that your real name? Sounds rather impressive.” His tone carried undisguised flippancy and skepticism, as if mocking a clown putting on a show.

Lynch’s grey eyes were like frozen deep pools, without a ripple, and he ignored Ragnar pointing out his alias “Saphiro”, merely repeating coldly, his voice like ice scraping metal, “Who are you?”

“Me?” Ragnar exaggeratedly raised an eyebrow, as if hearing a ridiculous question.

He released the hilt of his sword, casually flicking nonexistent dust from his dark red light armor, his stance incredibly arrogant. “’Fire Sword’ Ragnar! Leader of the Sky Lizard Hunting Air Team!”

He surveyed his subordinates and the aircraft, his chin raised slightly, full of pride in his own “fame.”

“Attacking Fran’s flying aircraft, what is your intention, sir?” Lynch squinted his eyes, observing Ragnar’s every move, emphasizing the word “Fran” as he spoke.

“Fran?”

Ragnar scoffed disdainfully, “This is the Sky World, not a place where the Supreme Council has jurisdiction! The Sky World has its own rules!”

The Sky World, due to its remote location and complex environments among other reasons, is beyond the reach of the Supreme Council, thus essentially a separate region.

Not just the Sky World, but also the Underground World and the Ocean World are like this.

These places fall outside the jurisdiction of the Supreme Council, which is why a large number of Black Wizards, Grey Wizards, and Transcendents not under the Council’s control like to gather in these areas.

“Intention?”

Pausing for a moment, Ragnar chuckled, as if Lynch had asked an extremely foolish question.

He extended a finger, pointing contemptuously at Lynch, “It’s quite simple. Someone put a huge bounty on your head! And also…” his greedy gaze swept over the Destruction Golem behind Lynch, “to acquire that ’big toy’ of yours, which looks not too shabby.”

“Oh?” Lynch slightly raised an eyebrow, a flash of cold light in his eyes, yet his tone carried an icy inquiry, “I don’t recall having any grudges with anyone?”

Ragnar laughed heartily, the laughter filled with ridicule at Lynch’s “naivety”: “Hahaha! Boy, rules are rules! We ’Sky Lizards’ have survived in the skies for so many years relying on our reputation! The identity of the buyer? That’s not something you can pry into!”

Lynch was silent for a moment, his grey eyes flashing with what seemed like data streams. He suddenly spoke, his tone carrying a strange tranquility, “Well then, I am curious, what exactly is my head worth?”

Ragnar seemed to enjoy the prey’s inquiry before “accepting fate”, he licked his somewhat cracked lips, his eyes exploding with undisguised greed: “One ’Dead Soul Flower’! Lad, have you heard of it? That’s a treasure even Rule Wizards would be envious of!”

“An extraordinary fourth-tier rules artifact capable of reviving the dead and reshaping the origin of the soul! Tsk tsk, your head is certainly valuable!”

Dead Soul Flower?

Even Lynch, as determined as he was, had a trace of undisguisable surprise flash in his eyes. Such a high-level artifact cannot be measured by ordinary resources; it touches upon the forbidden rules of life and soul!

Those who can offer such a thing as a bounty… Lynch’s mind immediately locked onto a target.

“It’s the Tower of Order, isn’t it.”

His voice was flat yet filled with certainty, not a question but a statement: “It’s the Tower of Order that approached you to buy my head, wasn’t it?”

Only the Tower of Order, with whom he had deep enmity, rich resources, and audacity, would dare to use such an item to ambush him on Fran’s route!

Ragnar’s smile slightly stiffened, then turned into deeper ferocity and a hint of displeasure at being found out: “Hmph! Kid, knowing too much won’t do you any good! All you need to know is that today, this cloud sea is your grave!”

He suddenly drew the Burning Giant Sword from his back, its blade pointing directly at Lynch, the blazing flames erupting fiercely, scorching the surrounding air to a distortion!

“If you’re sensible, you’ll commit suicide! Considering you brought me this ’toy’…” Ragnar tapped the Destruction Golem with the sword tip, his gaze contemptuously sweeping over the flying aircraft, “I might be in a good mood and let those pitiful bugs on your ship and that annoying little whale go.”

His tone was full of a condescending arrogance, as though Lynch and his companions’ lives were entirely at his whim.

“Heh…” Lynch finally let out a very light sneer, the cold killing intent within it seemed to drop the surrounding temperature by a few degrees. “What arrogance! Do you bastards in the Sky Hyenas dare boast so shamelessly?”

He slowly raised the dark gold giant sword in his hand, the blade beginning to shimmer with the dull, twisted radiance of three realms: space-time, decay, and all-consuming death, while the dark red glow in the eyes of the Destruction Golem instantly locked on Ragnar, and the Particle Light Blade emitted a low hum.

“I am curious to see, what weight your so-called ’Fire Sword’ truly holds! Where does your…arrogance come from!” The last few words, Lynch almost ground out through gritted teeth, each word carrying a thunderous, oppressive force!

“Arrogant!” Ragnar was completely infuriated, his ferocity turning into rampant killing intent, “Ungrateful wretch! Then let me show you what real Domain Power means! Tear them to pieces!”

With his command, the engines of the two black assault aircraft emitted an earsplitting whine, their cannons lighting up again! Two Domain Wizards also suppressed their fear of the Destruction Golem, bursting forth with Domain Power and charging once more!

As for Ragnar himself, he charged towards Lynch like a burning meteor, enveloping everything with the terrifying flame domain of utter destruction, wielding the Flaming Giant Sword! Wherever the blade passed, the space itself burned with crimson cracks!

“Perfect timing!” Lynch’s eyes shot cold light, fearlessly meeting the charge head-on! The massive form of the Destruction Golem also exploded with frightening speed that belied its bulk, the Particle Light Blade slicing through the sky, cleaving straight towards Ragnar!

The great battle erupted thunderously! Above the cloud sea, it was instantly engulfed by raging energy, beams of destruction, and sky-igniting flames!
