Xia Ya has given them as fair an environment as possible, and the hardware attributes of both parties are basically the same.
But the next battle may have to rely on Gaiward alone.
Xia Ya raised his hand, and a table and chairs appeared beside Xia Ya. There were a lot of fruits and tea on the table.
He is a nightmare, and weaving things in a dream is even easier than in reality.
He lifted the kettle on one side and poured some water on the tea cup, then took a sip of water and looked at the giant dragons wrestling in the distance. A thoughtful look flashed in Xia Ya's eyes.
Nighold obviously didn't think that there was another version of himself in the world, so he didn't even react when Gaward rushed up.
But just when it came to the front, Nighold reacted. He roared, and its dragon claws were covered with a layer of thick black fog. It turned sideways to avoid Gaiward's horn attack and stabbed it smoothly. Gayward's chest.
Gaeword raised his hand and grabbed Nighold's hand, and the two sides struggled in a pure hand-to-hand combat in the sky.
They have the same strength, the same speed, and even the same strength. After several encounters, they were evenly matched.
Nighold got into the black mist, as if preparing to carry out a sneak attack like before, but who knew that Gaward also got into the black mist.
Some of the Dragon Club's magic is not learned through professors. These magics are usually passed down through blood. This is an experience that only higher-level ethnic groups can have.
They fight in a world of black mist.
When Char was in the real world, he could only see through eagle eyes, but now he is in the dream world, so he can also see what is happening in this black mist world through the power of dreams.
On the frontal battlefield, black mist gradually appeared one after another, which was turned on during the battle between the two sides.
They shuttled back and forth between the world of black mist and the dream world created by Char. Countless magic powers impacted the world below that was already on the verge of collapse, making the apocalyptic atmosphere even more intense.
Soon, both sides jumped out of one of the black fogs again. Both sides had injuries on their bodies, some scales were torn off, and blood was flowing and dripping on the land that had become a sea of fire.
To be honest, if you are an ordinary person, you will not know who the two dragons are at this moment, because there is essentially no difference in appearance between the two people.
However, this is a dream created by Char, so Char can still distinguish two people from the differences in the spiritual world.
Nighold was obviously extremely angry. He raised his chest and spit out a mouthful of rotten dragon breath.
The thick black mist rushed towards Gaward with strong corrosive force.
Gaiward didn't have the slightest fear, and directly breathed dragon breath and rushed forward.
The forces of both sides collided in the air, and black mist spilled out in all directions, falling on the sea of corpses below.
These corpses decayed at an astonishing speed and soon turned into countless white bones. Some even turned directly into bone powder, just like the white sand in the outside world.
The huge black mist covered half of the sky and spread across the entire battlefield. Even the flames of doomsday were extinguished and the world was plunged into darkness.
The strength of both sides is equal, and there is no winner.
"They were all taught by the same master. They can't break the moves."
Xia Ya, who was watching the battle from a corner of the hillside, smiled and sighed.
Gaeword's power at the moment is equal to that of Nighold, so the difference between the two sides in the battle depends more on skill, experience, wisdom and luck.
However, Gaward has just used this body, so he will have a certain disadvantage in this situation.
He was not used to using a dragon's body to fight.
Just after this impact, Nighold roared, and the black fog quickly spread all over its body, like a black night, with stars shining in it, especially those eyes that were like magma.
The giant dragon spun and hit Gaward directly.
Gaward raised his arm to resist, and the two sides collided. Gaward was directly hit by the huge impact and retreated several kilometers.
Its wings kept flapping, and with the huge strong wind, it stagnated in mid-air.
The thick fog with the characteristics of decay has little impact on Gaiward, who is also a black dragon. This is why Gaiward dares to resist head-on.
But Gaward obviously didn't think clearly about the gap between him and Nighold's application of the black dragon's power.
As Gaward felt the force hitting his arm suddenly disappear, before he could react, a black mist suddenly appeared behind him.
In the mist, Nighold's dragon head, shrouded in black dragon breath, charged directly and bit Gaward's neck.
Nighold's body was still at the front of Gaiward. It seemed that because of the black mist covering it, he couldn't tell the difference between the head and the body.
Nighold, on the other hand, relied on the special space behind the fog door to sneak attack directly from behind Gaiward.
By the time Gaward reacted, it was already too late.
The sound of branches breaking from broken scales was heartbreaking, and blood gradually overflowed from his neck.
Dragon fangs and dragon scales are the most powerful means of destruction and defense known in the world, so the fight between them is a fight between the strongest spear and the strongest shield.
But obviously, the results have already appeared at this moment.
Nighold directly bit off a large piece of meat from Gaiward's neck. Gaiward endured the pain and broke away from Nighold, and quickly retreated a large distance with his dragon wings.
There was a very hideous wound on his neck, and a large piece of flesh was missing. This was a fatal wound for any human, but it was obviously not so fatal for a dragon.
Nighold chewed the flesh and blood he bit off from Gaward and swallowed it, then slowly revealed a ferocious smile, with traces of blood still on his teeth.
"You are the one who wants to take my body, right?"
Gaward said nothing.
Nighold looked around, "Being able to create a world like this, and also have some power to control me, in a sense, you do have some abilities.
But it’s a little early for you to want to take over my body based on these! "
Nighold raised his head, and the black shadow of the dragon wings behind him seemed to lengthen, and then he instantly rushed towards Gaward in the distance.
Gaiward also roared and rushed forward. The speed of both parties was extremely fast, even in the eyes of ordinary people, they were almost an afterimage.
It even caused a sonic boom because it moved too fast.
But just after this sonic explosion, another huge explosion sounded at the same time.
The two sides collided together, and the sound waves generated spread dozens of kilometers away. The earth was shaking, and the ground that was already on the verge of breaking screamed, and countless magma spewed out from the cracks!
The two sides began to wrestle in the air, and it was still neck and neck at first. Even though he was injured, Gaward's combat effectiveness did not seem to weaken much.
Suddenly, Nighold's tail swung forward through the air.
Its tail was longer than that of ordinary dragons, and the strong tail was like a whip, and it was thrown hard on Gaiward's body.
Gayward is a human, and it obviously takes time to adapt to the extra organs. He obviously didn't expect that he could also use his tail to attack.
The whip hit his side hard, sending him flying and hitting the ground. Countless gravels filled the sky, the earth trembled slightly, and a giant crater in the shape of a spider web spread out for several kilometers centered on the impact point. !
Gaward spit out a mouthful of blood, and it was obvious that the blow was not light.
But it was obvious that Nighold would not wait for Gaward to react.
Black mist surged out of his body, spinning to form a tornado. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and thunder and lightning flashed in the storm, making a rumble of thunder.
As it moved, the tornado became larger and larger, and the overflowing strong wind impacted everything around it. The bones on the earth were swept into the tornado, and the flames were blown high.
Even Char, who was far away from the battlefield, was hit by the strong wind and his hair was flying.
The tornado made the noise of the doomsday even more intense.
But with this natural disaster-like momentum, it fell directly downwards and crashed into Gayward who was on the ground.
"boom!!!"
Raging energy poured onto the earth, and the earth cracked around the impact point. Countless magma spewed out, and large rocks protruded. Even the land plates that were already on the verge of collapse began to slow down due to this final blow. cracking.
When the thick fog dissipated, a large piece of Gayward's chest had collapsed, but even so, Nighold still had no intention of stopping.
It knew its own body's resilience, so it pressed on him without any hesitation, bit his shoulder, and even began to eat his body directly.
Gaward has completely lost the ability to resist, and even his consciousness is gradually blurring as Nighold bites him.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Xia Ya sitting on the cliff in the distance drinking tea. He didn't make any move, he just stared at everything in front of him quietly, his deep eyes shining with unknown meaning.
As if to say, I have done everything I can, this is your battle
But obviously, Gaward lost this life-and-death battle.
Merlin had tried his best to keep him on par with the monster in front of him.
But he was a magician after all, not even from Merlin Academy, and had no experience in close combat.
The battles he has experienced in this life are rarely close combat, not to mention that this is still an unfamiliar body.
It can be said that it is very good that he can fight with Nighold for so long.
As his body was bitten, his consciousness became more and more blurred, and even began to appear like a revolving door.
He thought he would think of his mother, but other images came to his mind.
That was a long, long time ago, so long ago that he was still at Hogwarts.
The night sky at Hogwarts is very beautiful. Because of the astrology class, the enchantment around Sky Island will magnify the starry sky.
Therefore, the stars seen under Sky Island are very bright, and even the craters on the moon can be seen with the naked eye.
He and Dumbledore had a secret base on the roof of a tower somewhere.
There is a small attic under the roof. No one knows where it is, and the entrance is also very hidden. You need to pass through a magic painting.
There’s a huge slanted glass window, making it a perfect spot for stargazing.
It wasn't until Gayward became a teacher at Hogwarts that he realized that it was a "little easter egg" deliberately left by the designer during the design. There were at least dozens of such secret rooms throughout Hogwarts.
Of course, the place they discovered first naturally became their secret base.
"Gayward, why did you call me here?"
Dumbledore climbed up from the attic and said doubtfully.
The attic is not high and not too big. It is covered with a short-pile carpet, and there is a table filled with magic books, many drawings, and some astrolabes to assist in stargazing.
Gayward sat in front of the huge slanted window and looked at the stars in the sky.
They are all young, in their twenties, with no beards on their faces, and their hair is not gray.
Due to the lack of teaching staff at Hogwarts at the time, both Gayward and Dumbledore were retained as teachers.
In just a few years, Dumbledore was quickly promoted to professor, while Gayward was still an associate professor because he had one less teaching assistant experience than him.
However, his language talent is very good, his teaching quality is very high, and it is not boring. Many students are willing to take his class.
Gayward pointed to the side of the table.
Dumbledore looked at the table on one side in confusion. He walked over slowly. There was a letter on it. He opened it and read it, then frowned.
"Resignation letter?"
He looked at Gayward, "Are you leaving Hogwarts?"
"A few days ago, it was my mother's memorial day." Gaward looked at the starry sky above and murmured in a low voice, "When I went to worship my mother, I tried to recall what my mother looked like, but I found that she looked like It’s getting blurry in my mind.”
"Time is such a cruel thing, it is slowly taking away the most important person in my heart."
He turned to look at Dumbledore, "Dumbledore, what is your ideal?"
"Ideal?" Dumbledore said after a moment of silence, "I just want to stay at Hogwarts and teach these children my knowledge. This is the best job for me."
Gayward smiled, "It does look like you."
"What about you?" Dumbledore asked, "What is your ideal?"
"My ideal." Gaward turned his head and looked at the sky. "If my ideal is to establish a world where everyone is equal, there will be no wars, no fights, and no one can rely on their numbers, power, or money to win. Do you believe in a world where you stand on top of others and control other people’s destinies?”
"I believe it." Dumbledore said without any hesitation, "You have never broken your promise."
Gayward smiled and said, "You are probably the only one in this world who believes in me so much."
"We are friends, aren't we?" Dumbledore said. "Of course friends will trust each other unconditionally."
He slowly came to Gaiward's side and sat down.
"But have you really thought about it clearly? Not just anyone can become a teacher at Hogwarts in the future, and you are already an associate professor now, so you are only one step away from being a professor."
Gayward shook his head, "That's not what I want."
He slowly raised his head and looked at the starry sky above, "Do you believe it, Dumbledore? From now on, there will be a war in this world, countless people will die on the battlefield, and countless children will lose their parents and homes. , displaced and suffering.”
Dumbledore stared at Gaward quietly, "Did you foresee something?"
He knew that Gaward had a strong ability to predict. When he was still in school, his astrology scores were the best, and he even teaches astrology on his behalf now.
Gaward was speechless, but Dumbledore was extremely convinced that Gaward must have foreseen something.
He thought for a moment and then said.
"If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to me at any time."
Gayward smiled, "Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble? Merlin doesn't like us to interfere too much in human affairs."
Dumbledore thought for a moment and then continued.
"Remember the first flying contest held by Mr. Stark?"
Without waiting for Gayward to answer, Dumbledore continued, "At that time, we secretly disapparated to Britannia during the flight and used magic to teach those disgusting politicians and filthy villains a lesson. "
"I think I will never forget it." Gaward smiled, "We were also discovered by Merlin."
"Fortunately, he didn't pursue us." Dumbledore said happily, "Otherwise, we probably wouldn't be able to chat here now."
"I was only a teenager at the time, and I wasn't scared at all. I'm even less scared now." Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and said, "As long as you do the right thing, I will always stand by your side." .”
Gaward curled his lips, but said nothing.
Dumbledore looked at the silent Gaward. In their exchanges, Gaward usually acted as a talkative character and never fell into such silence.
He knew that his best friend was going through some kind of decision in his heart, which would determine important choices for his entire life in the future.
He suddenly said, "When I was studying magic some time ago, I learned a magic that can forge our blood into an unbreakable covenant."
Before Gayward could speak, he stood up directly, walked to the table on one side and picked up a silver bracelet.
In the magical world, rare metals such as gold and silver are very common materials, because these materials have very good magic power.
Then he picked up a piece of chalk from the corner of the table.
He came to Gaiward's side, drew a magic circle with chalk on the ground, and put the silver bracelet on it.
With the input of magic power, the bracelet turned into a silver pendant, with mysterious magic engraved on it.
Dumbledore took out a knife from his body and was about to cut a cut on his palm, but Gayward stopped him.
"What are you doing?"
"Blend our blood together." Dumbledore said seriously, "This way the oath can be established. Legend has it that this is a blood pact made by the ancient knight and the king, which means never betrayal."
"There is no need to set up this kind of magic." Gaward said, "People's hearts cannot be retained by magic, can they?"
Dumbledore thought for a moment, then nodded, "You're right,"
He put the knife back into its sheath.
"I just want to tell you that no matter what happens in the future, I will definitely stand by your side."
Dumbledore said seriously, his words were sincere.
"So, whatever you want to do, just do it boldly."
Gayward stared at Dumbledore quietly, still saying nothing. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Albus."
He took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, "I have experienced a lot of pain in my life, but having a friend like you is one of the few blessings in my life."
He took the knife from Dumbledore's hand and made a cut on his palm. Blood quickly poured out of the wound and dripped on the pendant.
Then, he handed the knife to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore raised his hand, took the knife, and cut his own wrist, blood dripping on the pendant.
As the blood of the two of them merged with each other, a huge amount of magic spread around.
Noisy light surrounded the pendant, and the garland of the pendant floated. Finally, the blood condensed into a crystal inside the silver pendant.
At this moment, both sides felt that a magic enveloped the other.
This shows that this ancient covenant has been successfully established
Dumbledore looked at Gayward and motioned for him to take it.
Gaiward also took the pendant floating in the air and held it firmly in his palm.
The reason why Gaiward chose to sign a blood pact with Dumbledore at that time was actually not because of the magical restraint of never betraying the other party.
Just like people in ancient times worshiped each other.
That pendant, in their hearts, has more symbolic meaning than practical meaning.
Later, it was exactly what he said.
Human hearts cannot be retained by magic. (End of chapter)
