Chapter 1193 Universal Spring (Part 1)
Once Anastasia received the message from one of the monsters that she was controlling, she immediately rushed in its direction.
Because she could sense the location of the monsters she was controlling, it did not take long for her to reach her destination, where she met with the crab monster she had taken control of earlier.
Upon seeing Anastasia, the crab monster frantically waved its pincers and quickly led her into a deeper area of the ocean.
As Anastasia followed the crab, she observed her surroundings and realized that they were only fifty thousand kilometres away from the location of the central island.
In this area, if a fight broke out, it wouldn't be difficult for the dragons to sense the disturbance.
'I need to avoid any fight if possible,' She thought to herself and saw that the crab had stopped.
It pointed downward with its pincers, and when Anastasia looked down, her eyes narrowed as she saw a giant, snake-like creature covered in deep blue scales, sleeping beneath.
'A beginner-level Rank Six water dragon...' Anastasia thought inwardly, then shifted her gaze to the sea floor, right next to where the sleeping dragon lay.
As she examined the sea floor, she spotted the faint outline of a massive formation, exactly as Evan had described to her. (This Formation was mentioned in Chapâ 996)
Although she was still some distance away and couldn't clearly see it because it was obscured by thick seaweed, she could tell that the formation was not ordinary.
Anastasia observed the formation for a moment before returning her attention to the sleeping dragon.
"I don't recognize this dragon," She muttered under her breath, frowning. She had spent a significant amount of time among dragons in the past and was familiar with most of the high-level ones. However, this Rank Six water dragon was completely unfamiliar to her, leaving her puzzled about its identity.
Although she was curious about where this water dragon had come from, Anastasia knew this was not the time to dwell on it.
'It's working...' Anastasia thought, her eyes lighting up as she felt the formation beginning to respond, its faint glow under the dark power indicating that it was gradually becoming active.
Just as Anastasia was beginning to feel hopeful that she could activate the formation without alerting the dragon, the glow from the formation beneath the dark power grew brighterâtoo bright. Despite her efforts to conceal it, the energy ripples from the formation began to escape her control.
The sleeping dragon's massive eyelids twitched slightly as if it were about to wake.
"Don't wake up, you bastard!" Anastasia silently prayed, but her prayer went unanswered as the energy waves coming from the formation surged in intensity, and within moments, the Rank Six dragon's eyes shot open.
The dragon actually awoke after hundreds of years of sleep so even though it was now awake, its long slumber had left its mind a bit fuzzy, and it stared at Anastasia with a dazed expression, its majestic eyes slowly focusing.
Anastasia didn't show any fear when the dragon opened its eyes, but a deep frown settled on her face as she hadn't come here to start any trouble and didn't want to escalate things.
Taking advantage of the dragon still being half-asleep, she poured all of her World Essence into the formation.
As the essence flowed into it, the glow around the formation intensified, lighting up the surrounding ocean in an intense burst of light. The blinding glow spread out across a hundred kilometres, stunning the creatures in the area, including the dragon.
The water dragon, still half-conscious, blinked against the glaring light. The brightness snapped it out of its dazed state, and its cold, majestic eyes now locked onto Anastasia.
ROAR!
An earth-shaking roar erupted from the dragon's throat, sending tremors through the ocean waters for millions of kilometres.
Furious, the dragon lashed out, its massive tail sweeping toward Anastasia, intending to strike her away from the formation.
Anastasia's cold gaze locked onto the approaching tail and she was ready to activate her Soul Resonance skill, ready to obliterate the water dragon in an instant.
But before she could act, the formation beneath her feet activated. In a flash, the energy of the formation surged up, enveloping her entirely and the moment the tail was about to hit her, Anastasia disappeared from the ocean, vanishing into thin air.
