Chapter 1212: Chapter 1212 - Taming the Old World - Crown Star
The end line was finally in front of him, with a deafening screech of grinding stone and fusing metal, he pushed to achieve the impossible.
He ripped massive chunks from the surrounding architecture of the ruined Yino castle, weaving the ancient foundation stone, the Diamond-rank wood still tethered to the subterranean mana vein, and the shattered adamantium plates of his ruined tower together into a colossal, impenetrable dome.
He was going to completely encase the five-headed dragon...
In a monolithic, inescapable chamber anchored by a perfect five-point runic array, laid out like a massive star.
Each towering pillar held a sovereign dragon core and its respective elemental crystal in perfect, violently stabilized orbit, maintaining a frequency resonance and ensuring the ethereal density of the prison walls remained fundamentally unbreakable.
It was a flawlessly woven array designed to execute the exact blueprint Ren and Moosh had engineered.
It completely canceled the frequency of the Hydra’s stolen cores.
♢♢♢♢
The five colossal heads of the dragon physically melted.
Cut off entirely from the limitless primordial power of the stolen elemental cores feeding them, the five hyper-scaled dragons composing the Hydra began to lose their structural integrity. The biological amalgamation was forcefully rebooted. The construct violently devolved back to its baseline.
Its power was still mathematically classified as a Diamond-rank entity. It remained profoundly strong.
But it was entirely stripped of the ungodly, suffocating mana density that the five combined ancient cores had provided.
And a mere baseline Diamond-rank big entity possessed absolutely nowhere near the raw kinetic density required to shatter the hyper-compressed wall that Ren had erected, separating the corruption from the vault doors by a few agonizing meters of impenetrable, logic-defying armor.
The mechanical dragon threw its colossal weight against the walls of the star-chamber in rage. It roared, thrashing wildly, desperately seeking a fracture in the runic architecture. But the array held absolute. Every single frantic attempt to muster more strength and shatter the enclosure was nullified by the suffocating frequency resonance radiating from the ancient cores pinning it down.
The apocalyptic nightmare that, just moments prior, had seemed entirely unstoppable was now nothing more than a rabid beast trapped in a cage, a cage that grew tighter and more unforgiving with every single second it lost trying.
Having been pushed to this absolute breaking point, the entity had no logical choice but to retreat. It needed to turn back and force its way out before Ren permanently sealed the dome.
But absolutely no one was going to politely stand by and wait for it to find the exit in the back.
Ren channeled the absolute final dregs of his draconic power to seal the last gaping breach.
He ripped the foundational bedrock upward. He forcefully dragged the hyper-dense Diamond wood, still soaked in the raw ether of the subterranean mana vein, across the gap. He aggressively melted and fused the remaining adamantium plating from his shattered tower, slamming it all together to plug the final, massive hole in the dome’s ceiling.
The corruption twisted its massive frame, its remaining optics locking onto the rapidly shrinking sliver of sky...
And it instantly calculated the grim mathematics. It wasn’t going to make it.
Realizing its inevitable containment, the trapped Hydra unleashed one final, desperate roar.
And this roar was fundamentally different from the previous two.
The earlier sonic blasts had been chaotic, omnidirectional shockwaves of pure corruption that indiscriminately slammed into everyone on the battlefield. But this frequency traveled in a perfectly straight line.
It didn’t target Ren; it screamed past him, narrowly missing his shoulder.
The sound wave didn’t dissipate as it crossed the courtyard. Instead, it sharpened. It honed in on a specific coordinate like a heat-seeking missile, behaving as if it knew the exact biological signature it was hunting.
A few miles away, hovering in the air, Sirius let out a sudden, agonizing scream.
It wasn’t a superficial strike. It was a piercing, localized agony burying itself deep into his core. Strangely, right beside him, Liu felt absolutely nothing this time. The sonic wave brushed past the quiet tamer without triggering a single physical reaction.
But it hit Sirius dead center.
The precision strike found the microscopic, dormant thread of corruption, the exact core scar that Ren couldn’t close and aggressively yanked on it.
The microscopic thread instantly expanded. Thick, pulsing black veins rapidly crawled across Sirius’s chest and up his neck.
This was a catastrophic escalation. If there was a single mind on this planet capable of diagnosing and containing this specific breach, it was the Glorious General.
They had to get Sirius to Ren’s location immediately...
Ignoring their own crushing exhaustion, the girls forcefully squeezed the last quarters of ether from their cores to fuse and synchronize a rapid sequence of jumps. They desperately hauled Luna’s father across the shattered airspace, racing toward Ren in the desperate hope he could at least offer spoken guidance before the corruption consumed the father and uncle entirely.
♢♢♢♢
Ren witnessed absolutely none of the frantic rescue operation unfolding behind him.
He had actually done his part with the last single drop of energy he had.
Against every single mathematical odd, operating at an impossible three hundred percent capacity on a biological frame that capped at two hundred and seventy-five, relying entirely on his brilliant mushroom to juggle the orbital mechanics of the crystals and the frequency resonance, and literally weaponizing the entire foundation of Yino’s royal castle into a trap,
Ren had successfully caged the corrupted 5 head Hydra.
The exact second the adamantium seal locked into place and the prison’s runic architecture became self-sustaining, the astronomical physical toll finally presented the bill. The jagged crystals moved close to his eyes, stopping mere millimeters beneath his eyebrows.
’We barely made it... Uncomfortably we also got ourselves locked out of Dragarion and 3 of our elemental rings... But just so you know you can use my core as an extra crystal and get some help for the wood ruin... Get the last cores and rings before the corruption scratch its way out of prision... We should have at least 2 Weeks...’ Moosh was talking fast and with a low sleepy voice, but was able to utter all the important stuff.
"Alright, but good enough for now and maybe I can extend the jail time if I heal fast enough..." Ren’s vision completely whited out.
And he fell.
The now clear sky violently spun. The colossal jade Hydra instantly dissolved into scattered light, and Ren plummeted toward the shattered courtyard of the former royal castle like a stone.
Three pairs of arms caught him.
