The Almighty Dragon General

In a matter of seconds, the Nothingness Shields formed by the Caeloros Gods were shattered and destroyed.
The Caeloros Gods took Quintus and swiftly shot up into the air, moving away from the air current and Waltraud Lights.
“Retreat to the Tapia Mountains!" After shouting the command, Yefrenes took Quintus and transformed into a beam of light, traveling toward a mountain located far behind the Historial Palace.
“Damn it!” Quintinus cursed, “If it weren't for my powers being suppressed, I could easily crush these stupid halls and even the entire Haleth Realm!" “Let’s go!” Amos grabbed him by the arm.
The two of them transformed into beams of Nothingness Light and went after Yefrenes.
At that moment, another massive explosion erupted amid the collisions of the air current and the Waltraud Light, shaking the grounds of the Wuia Palace.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The Waltraud Light radiating from the Historial Palace gradually overpowered the air current generated by the eighty halls.
Eventually, the light even obliterated those eighty halls.
All of the buildings were razed to the ground.
The Waltraud Light surrounding the Historial Palace dimmed and vanished a few minutes later.
The area became peaceful again, as if nothing had happened.

However, a strange, low hum emanated from a huge spinning compass, where the eighty halls had stood earlier.
Shortly after, a gigantic Xwem Chessboard glowing with beautiful, sacred lights emerged from that place.
A handsome man in a black robe sat cross-legged at the center of the chessboard.
It was James.
As the strong winds tousled his long hair, James slowly opened his eyes.
Two beams of black and white light shot out from his eyes and headed for the Historial Palace’s tightly shut front door.
Thump! Thump! Thump! After a series of muted thumps, the Historial Palace released an immense amount of Waltraud Light once more.
Curiously, the Waltraud Light was absorbed into James’ body and the Xwem Chessboard below him upon contact.
This seemed to make the lights radiating from James and the chessboard grow significantly brighter.
James raised his hands and cast multiple sword lights and pestle lights in the Historial Palace’s direction.
The Waltraud Light from the Historial Palace intensified noticeably in response to James’ attacks.
Still, these lights were swiftly absorbed into James’ body and the Xwem Chessboard.
James planned on creating a brand-new, powerful formation.
To do that, he needed to absorb great amounts of power to refine the Xwem Chessboard’s and the Zirconia Path Scroll’s powers.
Those two items would become the foundations for James’ new formation.
The Wuia Palace’s eighty halls, which he had taken control over, did not carry the amount of power James needed.
On the contrary, the Historial Palace, which was Waitara’s dojo, possessed the criteria that James was looking for.
It was the place that contained all the Path Powers that came to exist during the Waitara Path’s time.
Also, all of the Path Cauldrons relating to the Forty-Nine Daoisms of Nothingness could be found there.
All those powers combined could amount to just about a Caeloros God’s powers and probably even more.

James continued blasting similar
