The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 2024

Chapter 2024

“Is James going to give it another try?”

“I wonder if that earthling can pass the third barrier.”

Many had gathered by the third barrier after failing to pass. They all wondered if James could accomplish what they could not.

James emptied his mind and removed all impurities before taking a step forward. At the same time, he discharged Psynergy that sensed his surroundings, and every movement of the golems surfaced in his mind. He could clearly see the trajectory of their attacks, thereby allowing him to dodge in advance.

As he dodged agilely, he pressed onward.

Soon, he was at the 200-meter mark.

However, the golems’ attack speed accelerated. Even though James could sense their incoming attacks, he could not dodge them in time.

His shoulder was struck, sending excruciating pain throughout his body. Meanwhile, he was showing signs of falling over. After being struck once, James suffered many more injuries from the golems.

As blood trickled down from his lips, he silently murmured, “Calm down, James.”

Immediately, he catalyzed Ataraxia, and his mind began to clear.

However, it was no use. He could not dodge the golems’ attack in time. Their speed was extraordinary, and their force great. Even though he possessed impressive rejuvenating abilities, he only managed to proceed for another fifty meters before conceding defeat.

He hurriedly retreated to his starting point. Wiping the blood trace off his lips, he looked at Marcello dejectedly and said, “I failed again. I think you should go on without me. The Son of Heaven has already left for three days. You might not be able to catch up if you linger around here any longer.”

Marcello bit his lips. He truly wanted to help James out.

However, it appeared that James would not be able to gain insight into the techniques he imparted to him in a short amount of time. It was not James’ fault. In fact, it was impressive enough that he managed to accomplish this much in just a few days.

“Alright, then I’ll be taking my leave. But don’t be dismayed. This Celestial Abode has nine barriers, with each more difficult than the one before. In my opinion, it might take years for any of us to reach the end. So, cultivate well, James.”
