With a casual lift of his hand, he reached out towards the void.
In an instant, his anima morphed into the phantom image of a hand, reaching for the fireball.
Ahhough this hand was merely a shadow, not a tangible entity, the ghostly palm, three feet in width, radiated an astonishing
energy.
The massive fireball was instantly gripped by this enormous palm shadow.
As Gilmore clenched his fist. the shadow hand did the same, causing the fireball to shrink continuously.
Just when it seemed the fireball would be completely extinguished within the giant palm’s grasp, a swift “whoosh” sound was
heard.
A shadowy figure darted out from the diminishing fireball, evading the colossal hand’s clutches.
The shadow that escaped from the colossal palm was none other than the giant white egg.
It had now reverted to its original hue after its temporary crimson transformation.
Astonishingly, the egg managed to escape just as the fireball was about to be snuffed out by the shadow hand.
Spencer, Lilian, Claire, and the others watched on in amazement
It wasn’t just an egg; it was practically a magical creature.
With a sweeping gesture, Gilmore made the shadow hand in the void vanish.
The evasive white egg flew to the upper left corner of the stone chamber, looking as alert as if it knew Gilmore’s intentions all along.
“Mr. Reed, this egg seems remarkably wise. Why don’t Tillman and I help you surround it?” Spencer suggested.
However, Gilmore shook his head and replied. “No need. Spencer. I can handle it on my own.
“Plus, I’d like to have a bit of fun with it
With that, he lifted his palm, channeling his anima. Suddenly, a massive phantom palm appeared in the void, exuding an overwhelming aura with its anima Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
The phantom palm immediately lunged towards the floating white egg.
But in that split second, the egg’s shell transformed into a shiny silver color.
Following that, the surface of the silver egg began emitting countless silver electric currents, enveloping the egg in a cocoon. of silver lightning
Before the eyes of Gilmore, Spencer, and the others, the egg transformed into a towering pillar of lightning, radiating an aura of immense power.
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
Just then, the lightning pillar shot out bolt after bolt of electric light, aiming directly at the phantom palm conjured by

struck the phantom palm one after the other.
Even though the phantom palm was a manifestation of Gilmore anima, it remained unharmed by the egg’s electric onslaught
It continued reaching for the egg, now enveloped in the pillar of lightning.
“Crackle, crackle, crackle!”
The lightning surrounding the egg unleashed a wild barrage.
The dazzling light of the electric bolts lit up the entire stone chamber, making it almost blinding to look at
The sound of the lightning was absolutely heart–stopping.
In an instant, hundreds of lightning bolts assailed the phantom palm.
They sizzled upon contact, enveloping the entire phantom appendage, turning it into a hand wreathed in electric fury.
However, even though the phantom palm was now an image of rampaging electric light, it was not destroyed by the multiple bolts that assaulted it
On the contrary, this electrically charged phantom palm continued to reach for the egg surrounded by the pillar of lightning.
“Swoosh
The phantom palm swiftly enveloped the pillar of lightning shielding the egg, and with that, it began to clench
However, just before the phantom palm could fully tighten its grasp, a flash of light zipped out with a swift sound.
Needless to say, the escaping luminous silhouette was the white egg-
But this time, the white egg wasn’t so fortunate,
Although it managed to escape the grasp of the phantom palm once again, as it darted away, a sudden burst of light enveloped it, just like a net swiftly catching its prey.
The light was a radiant white glow.
Once the white egg was covered by this light, it seemed as if it couldn’t escape.
No matter how much the egg fluttered and darted around within this light, it felt trapped, as if surrounded by an impenetrable wall of metal.
This radiant barrier that ensnared the white egg was a burst of anima released by Gilmore.
That’s right, the moment his phantom palm reached for the egg within its electric shield, he anticipated the egg’s next
move
It would surely make a swift escape when the phantom hand tried to grab it.
Thus, when the white egg managed to evade the shadowy palm, Cilmore promptly unleashed a burst of anima, effectively capturing the egg.
Seeing the egg ensnared by the radiant white light, Spencer, Tillman, Lilian, Claire, and others couldn’t hide the delight on
their faces.

“That crafty little egg has finally been caught by Gilmore, they thought gleefully.
However, they were taken aback by the fact that this white egg could spew fire and release electric charges, displaying such mystical powers.
But before Gilmore could explain what this egg was exactly, he beckoned with his hand, and the glowing sphere that held the egg flew right into his palm.
He looked at the white egg covered in anima in his palm and smiled. “At last, I’ve got my hands on this treasure from the Dragon HallTM
Then, with a mere thought, he transferred the glowing egg straight into his storage ring.
Seeing the egg suddenly vanish. Spencer and the rest looked utterly shocked
“Mr. Reed, where did the egg go?” Spencer couldn’t help but ask.
Holding up his storage ring, Gilmore replied, “Tve placed it inside this ring.
“We should leave,” he continued. “Staying any longer would be courting danger.”
On hearing these words, Spencer, Tillman, and the others instantly thought of the slumbering giant dragon in the outer hall.
The palace was indeed a place shrouded in mystery and danger
If that giant dragon were to wake up, they would surely be in grave peril.
They even speculated that the white egg Gilmore had just collected might be an offspring of the giant dragon in the outer
hall
If that were the case, they would need to leave posthaste, for that giant dragon wouldn’t let this slide.
Having said his piece, Gilmore, with Spencer and the rest in tow, quickly exited the stone chamber.
At the entrance of a corridor, the young man dressed in white looked frustrated. “Damn it,” he murmured to himself. “Where on earth is the Royal Dragon Egg?
“If that divine dragon outside awakens, even if I had wings, I wouldn’t be able to escape. I need to find that egg possible.”

While lost in thought, he suddenly heard a rumbling noise echoing in the hallway, accompanied by a faint vibration in the
air.
The young man’s eyes lit up with recognition.
He realized that the sound was the same as when an enchantment was broken.
He knew this because he had just broken a dragon–engraved enchantment on the door of a stope chamber that produced a similar sound.
However, he knew that there was no one else in the Dragon Hall other than the divine dragon guarding the Royal Dragon Egg
Now, the sound of breaking the enchantment came from the corridor.
This meant that other than him, there were others that had intruded into the Dragon Hall
His heart raced with urgency

To acquire the Royal Dragon Egg, the Eulogian Club had investe countless resources and time.
They had painstakingly determined that the divine dragon in the Dragon Hall snoozed once every year, for durations varying from an hour to a whole day.

Thus, he had to seize this window of opportunity when the dragon was mapping to sneak into the Dragon Hall and steal the Royal Dragon Egg
However, the Dragon Hall was not only labyrinthine but also riddled with numerous stone chambers, each protected by its own enchantment.
And while he had a clue that the egg was located in one of these chambers, he had no idea which specific stone chamber it
Was
This left him with no choice but to search each stone chamber one by one.
After having broken the seals on several chambers and finding none that housed the Royal Dragon Egg, disappointment clouded his mind. But he had to press on
But now, hearing the sound of an enchantment being broken, he was certain that others had breached the Dragon Hall.
An immediate sense of danger washed over him.
“If someone else snatches the Royal Dragon Egg before me,” he thought, “then my entire venture into the Dragon Hall would be in vain.
All the years of preparation by me and my team would go to waste.“
He couldn’t bear that thought.
With that, the man in white hastened his steps, darting from one stone chamber to the next.
Eventually, he arrived at the stone chamber that Gilmore and his team had been in.
Though they had departed a while ago, the man in white could still detect a faint scent in the air–a combination of singed odor and electric charge.
The man seemed to think of something all of a sudden. He frowned and his eyes were sharp.
“This is the scent of the Royal Dragon Egg, emitting flames and lightning!” he thought
“I can’t believe someone got to the egg before I did.
“Just like the mantis that stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole lurking behind, they’ve outwitted me!”
After connecting the dots, the man in white realized that he had been trailed and someone had taken advantage of his
efforts.
His face darkened to an extreme, and he quickly left the stone chamber.
In the grand hall where the giant dragon floated in slumber, a fluctuation of energy created an opening in the eastern wall.
Through this aperture, Gilmore, Spencer, and their companions stepped out.
Moving cautiously once again, the group headed towards the hall’s entrance.
However, just as they were about to push open the grand doors, another ripple of energy created a second opening in the
castern wall.

The moment he stepped out of the opening, his eyes locked onto Gilmore’s party, who were right at the door’s threshold.
A flash of fiery anger sparked in his eyes.
Sering Gilmore and his group, he realized that his suspicions had been correct.
They had indeed trailed him into the Dragon Hall.
And the Royal Dragon Egg was surely with them.
However, as much as he burned with frustration, the presence of the slumbering divine dragon floating above silenced any outcry he might have made.
