Chapter 1384: 455. The sly rabbit has no den_3

Noland Lee realized that it must have been “Command” itself that took over the player’s control and answered the Dragon Man’s question on the player’s behalf.

This step was crucial, it had to be done.

It was too late to issue a task to the player on the spot and to guide the player to recite the prepared statement by “Command.”

Only with “Command” personally controlling the player’s response to the Dragon Man’s question could they ensure it was foolproof.

Sure enough, after hearing the reply, the Dragon Man didn’t sense anything wrong with the player’s response.

It proposed that the player follow it in search of other players outside the tower and promised some rewards.

This step triggered the game system’s task feature, and the player immediately received a small task from the NPC in front of them to show the way.

“Command,” the core of Order Plane, didn’t immediately control the player to accept the task but said to Noland Lee:

“To stabilize the Metal Ancestor Dragon’s avatar, I will have this player accept the task. I will control him to follow the Dragon Man until you have the Dragon Man under control. Don’t worry about harming this player by mistake, I will take care of the compensation.”

Noland Lee nodded and typed to show his understanding.

Through Magic Vision, after a brief contemplation, the player accepted the task and followed the Dragon Man onto a manned drone to leave High Tower.

As soon as the drone entered the clouds, “Command” typed on the game interface:

“Now’s the time! Go for it!”

Without any hesitation, Noland Lee swept his hand over the Magic Runes in front of him, squeezed them tightly, and then slammed them against his chest.

The figure of the Snow-winged Cat appeared beside Noland Lee, bit the collar of Noland’s clothes, and whisked him away into the Quantum Leap Channel with a whoosh.

In an instant, Noland Lee’s avatar, left in the Dean’s office, appeared outside the manned drone.

Noland Lee flung his right hand forward, casting the bright rune from his palm.

Thousands of runes scattered in the air, forming a vast Magic Network that enveloped the entire drone.

The runes activated, the barrier formed, and brilliant blue light blazed forth.

Noland Lee exerted full force to operate the barrier while holding his left hand high, palm upward, swiftly gathering a terrifyingly powerful Magic Bomb.

At this moment, the strange fluctuations in the air, despite being masked by the “Veil of Different Worlds,” were unavoidably sensed by the Dragon Man, who was very close by.

Before the Dragon Man could react, the Magic Bomb fiercely struck the drone, followed by a deafening explosion.

“BOOM——–”

The sea of clouds was blown apart by the shockwave, leaving a massive circular hole as if a skylight had been opened in the vast expanse of clouds.

The fierce wind blasted in all directions, swirling the clouds around, with a massive fireball burning at the center of the hole.

The player by the Dragon Man’s side was engulfed by the flames along with the drone on the spot.

Benefiting from its steel body, the Dragon Man managed to hold on for a little while longer.

Amidst the fierce flames, it tried to activate its life-saving ability, only to find it futile.

Having no other choice, it pleaded for help from its master, whose whereabouts were unknown.

The pressure of the real Ancestral Dragons spread within the flames, and Noland Lee immediately sensed this ominous aura.

After launching another lethal Magic Bomb, Noland Lee held onto Kitty and quickly evacuated using the cat’s quantum leap ability.

Just 0.1 seconds before Noland Lee’s figure departed from the area, an angry voice accompanied by the sound of the Dragon Man bursting into pieces rang out:

“I remember you! Despicable insect! You dare to interfere with my plans!”

“BOOM–”

The Dragon Man was blown to smithereens by the Magic Bomb; it ultimately couldn’t escape death even with its master’s protection.

The pressure from the Metal Ancestor Dragon’s true form dissipated.

Noland Lee’s figure also quickly faded, teleporting away from the area.
