Chapter 884 - To Catch a Violet Eye Dragon (1/2)

The Violet Eye Dragon’s enormous frame crashed to the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

「Hurry, hurry! The potion doesn’t last long. If we’re not done when it wakes up, we’re done for!」Nie Yan said urgently.「Summer Bug, hand over the Auto-Repair Scroll to Scoundrel. You help move the Violet Eye Dragon. Everyone else, help repair the Transfer Gate!」

「Got it!」

Summer Bug handed over the Auto Repair Scroll to Undying Scoundrel, after which he blinked toward the Violet Eye Dragon. Undying Scoundrel rused after the other Mages to repair the transfer gate.

The Mages, both Great Mages and Magisters, quickly worked to repair the transfer gate. They went over the parts of the formation that were easy to fix. As for the most badly damaged area in the center, Undying Scoundrel placed the Auto-Repair Scroll there. All that was left to do was to lay down the magic crystals and runestones to activate the transfer gate.

The transfer gate was quickly repaired. The 10 Mages took up their respective positions around the formation and started chanting. Back in Okoron, a similar group of Mages started chanting too. To open this transfer gate, it required both sides to be opened simultaneously.

The leylines on the ground lit up, forming a double hexagram on the ground. This was the crystallization of their knowledge, allowing them to create a masterpiece that broke through the limits of space.

Nie Yan didn’t know exactly how long it would take for the transfer gate to activate. He felt his heart racing out of his chest, as did the others most likely. Luckily, he’d picked members in the guild he was fully confident in. Even though he was nervous, everything was going smoothly. There had yet to be any mistakes.

Summer Bug arrived in front of the knocked-out Violet Eye Dragon. He chanted an incantation and waved his staff. Three giants appeared before him. They were five meters tall with dark skin and hulking bodies. Glowing, runic tattoos covered their bare upper torsos, the only piece of clothing on them grey leather loincloths. Every step they took violently shook the ground. Just their presence alone gave off an overbearing pressure.

Arcane Giants!

Undying Scoundrel and the other Mages were still working on activating the transfer gate.

Nie Yan pressed Undying Scoundrel and the others to hurry up, while he ran over to Summer Bug.

Summer Bug waved his staff. The eyes of the three Arcane Giants snapped open, flashing with a black light. They bent down, and picked up the Violet Eye Dragon’s body. Their expressions were hollow, as though nothing of this fazed them.

This was the effect of Inexhaustible Strength!

Nie Yan guessed the Violet Eye Dragon weighed at least five tonnes. This kind of weight wasn’t something ordinary players could handle. Only these Arcane Giants could move its body.

The three Arcane Giants carried the Violet Eye Dragon over toward the transfer gate, with slow and careful steps.

Nie Yan stared at the unconscious Violet Eye Dragon, his heart filled with anxiousness. He hoped it would stay asleep a little longer. Looking back to Undying Scoundrel and the others, they seemed to be nearing the end of their chant.

「Boss, it’s about to wake up!」Summer Bug cried out anxiously.

The Violet Eye Dragon made slight movements, as though it could sense it was being carried toward captivity by three Arcane Giants.

A sign it was going to wake up!

When the potion was in full effect, the Violet Eye Dragon couldn’t move one bit. This was evidence its effects were wearing off!

Nie Yan checked the time. Not even 30 seconds had passed! Though an incredibly achievement, this was a Level 200 Variant Lord after all, it was nowhere near the suggested amount of time.

Nie Yan felt like his heart was about to burst. What could he do to make the Violet Eye Dragon sleep just a little longer?

Nie Yan was coming up blank.

The transfer gate suddenly lit up brilliantly, as if someone had thrown out a flash grenade. Everyone went blind.

After the light settled down, a giant cage stood in the middle of the transfer gate. It sparkled with a golden lustre. Nie Yan felt like he was looking at the most beautiful thing in the world.

「Open it, quick!」Nie Yan anxiously cried out. He could already sense the Violet Eye Dragon’s breathing becoming stronger. It would wake up any second now!

The Mages rushed up to the cage and pushed open the door.

Summer Bug didn’t need Nie Yan to tell him what to do. He had his three Arcane Giants carry the Violet Eye Dragon over to the cage as fast as they could.

As they reached the cage door, the Violet Eye Dragon’s eyes snapped open. It let out a deep roar and attempted to struggle free, only to find that the Arcane Giants were pretty strong. Plus, it was still half unconscious, the paralysis effect yet to completely wear off.
