Chapter 557: Chapter 404: The Mysterious Dragon Mirage
Soon after, Leo Ray pondered for a moment and asked the big-eyed Abigail beside him, “Scarlett, are there any detailed accounts of the Dragon Mirage in the ancient books? How dangerous is this unusual illusion realm?”
“My Lord, as I just mentioned, the Dragon Mirage is the materialization of a dragon’s dream, with content that is constantly changing. It will adapt according to the dragon’s ongoing dream, making it impossible to find any patterns and extremely difficult to understand.”
Bowing slightly to Leo Ray, Scarlett rubbed her little nose and replied, “However, since the Red Dragon is currently in a sealed state, its strength is minimal.
Therefore, the danger of this Dragon Mirage should be similar to that of the Mirage in the previous Ancient Battlefield Ruins. For those above Tier 3, there would be little substantial harm apart from impacts on their senses.”
“Indeed, this can be corroborated by the abnormal energy fluctuations emanating from within.”
On the other side, Gideon Black nodded and chimed in.
“I see.”
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray’s mind stirred, and ten Wind Eye Pills, which could enhance illusion resistance, appeared in his palm.
Entering an unknown illusion realm, they must be as prepared as possible, especially since they had the means to do so.
Then, Leo Ray distributed the Wind Eye Pills to his subordinates while saying, “Alright, let’s go in and investigate.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
On the other side, the subordinates saluted and immediately formed a battle formation, surrounding Leo Ray in the center.
“Let’s go in.”
After swallowing the last Wind Eye Pill and feeling his vision improve significantly, Leo Ray took his first step forward.
Next, under the protection of his subordinates, Leo Ray stepped boldly into the half-open castle gate.
As soon as they entered, a sudden dense white fog enveloped the entire group.
For a moment, Leo Ray could only sense the swirling fog around him, barely able to see the ground beneath his feet, causing his pace to slow a bit.
Fortunately, the fog dissipated quickly, and by the time Leo Ray’s vision cleared,
He and the closely surrounding subordinates found themselves standing on a small Sky Island, similar to those enclosed within barriers of the Winged Race.
The area of this island was only about five square meters, just enough for Leo Ray and his group of ten to stand on. It hovered lonely in the sky like a high platform.
Crucially, the Sky Island was moving at a leisurely pace.
With such a situation and no fixed objects to hold on to, the pressure was unimaginable.
Looking down from the edge of the island, distant continuous miniaturized mountains and rivers zoomed past, while nearby scattered white clouds gave the impression of looking out from an airplane.
At the same time, the choking sensation brought on by the high altitude’s cold, fierce winds and thin air met them head-on, ceaselessly assaulting Leo Ray’s nostrils and eardrums.
At this moment, Leo Ray clearly understood.
In their current state of being completely trapped in an illusion, if one were to accidentally fall from the island, death would be the only outcome. This was the true horror of the Illusion Realm.
“I must admit, the feeling of stepping from the ground into the vast sky is quite astonishing and hard to adapt to.”
At this moment, Leo Ray, who felt his legs weakening, immediately concentrated energy into his abdomen, thus reducing the impact of the illusion on his senses to a minimum.
At the same time, the seemingly seamless Illusion Realm within Leo Ray’s vision began to reveal some real outlines of the castle.
It was as if there were gaps in properly worn VR glasses.
Seeing this, Leo Ray breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, “What a sight, the sensory stimulation of a Dragon Mirage is far more powerful than the previous Mirage.”
“I can imagine that if one’s strength had not reached the Tier 3 level, they would probably faint on the spot.”
As Leo Ray was pondering this,
on the other side, after a brief moment of amazement, powerful energy erupted from the subordinates’ bodies.
Finally, Leo Ray and his group of ten, who had resisted part of the Dragon Mirage’s influence, refocused their attention.
“My Lord, it seems that the current illusion is a scene of the sealed Giant Dragon flying in the sky, or rather, the Giant Dragon is flying in its dream.”
At this moment, Scarlett, standing on Leo Ray’s right, tightly gripped her Tier 5 Short Wand Dance of Elements and said with surprise, “I must say, it’s quite incredible to experience the viewpoint of a flying dragon in the Illusion Realm.”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other subordinates became stern, while their faces also revealed a hint of amazement.
They knew that this was a special treatment only experienced by the legendary Dragon Knights.
“Enough of the marveling, let’s keep moving.”
Looking at the faintly recognizable outlines of the castle, Leo Ray said, “Joshua and Abigail, lead the way. Let’s go.”
