Chapter 2116: Insignificant Chapter 2116: Insignificant Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Suddenly, the surrounding void became sticky.
Braydon Neal and Wilma Nilles felt it instantly, and their expressions changed.
“This is the Rock Dragon King’s Life Power Gravity Domain.
Within this domain, the void around us will become five times heavier, maybe even ten or a hundred times heavier,” Wilma said to Braydon with a serious expression.
Braydon glanced at the door of light.
They were only a few hundred meters away from it.
It was clear the Rock Dragon King was doing everything it could to keep them here.
He turned to Wilma and said directly, “Go to the door of light first.
I’ll see if I can hold him off.” Behind them, the Rock Dragon King had already arrived.
Its scarlet eyes fixed on them, and it let out an enraged roar.
“Roar!” With the Rock Dragon King’s roar, waves of energy rippled across the ground.
Braydon tried to leap away, but the sticky void trapped him, hindering his movement.
Bang!
A rock slammed into Braydon, sending him flying backward.
Hearing the impact, Wilma, who was sprinting toward the door of light, turned her head.
“Cough, cough… It’s nothing.
Don’t waste any more time,” Braydon’s voice called out as the dust settled.
He stepped out of the smoke, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth.
“Seven Stars Seal!” Forming a seal with his hands, seven stars appeared around Braydon.
Even he had forgotten the origins of this technique.
The result, however, was straightforward: the power of the seven stars could restrict the movements of others.
The seven stars shot out from Braydon’s side, surrounding the raging Rock Dragon King.
Energy flowed between them, forming a barrier that enveloped the creature.
Without hesitation, Braydon grabbed Wilma and rushed toward the door of light.
“Ants!” The Rock Dragon King swung its massive tail, condensing violent fire elements.
In an instant, the seemingly indestructible seven-star barrier shattered.
The next moment, countless fireballs erupted from the Rock Dragon King’s tail, hurtling toward Braydon and Wilma.
Reacting quickly, Wilma threw a stone behind her.
It exploded with spiritual power, drawing all the fireballs toward it.
By now, they were only a few dozen meters from the door of light.
But the Rock Dragon King closed the distance again.
“You mortals… die!” Lightning erupted from the Rock Dragon King, and a massive lightning pillar surged from its gaping maw, aimed straight at them.
Wherever the lightning pillar passed, it carved a deep ravine into the ground.
Braydon and Wilma were only ten meters away from the door of light!
Seeing the lightning pillar rapidly approaching, Braydon’s expression hardened.
He grabbed Wilma and, before she could react, threw her through the door of light.
As Wilma flew backward toward the portal, her heart clenched as if stabbed.
“Braydon!” She watched in shock as Braydon smiled at her—just before the lightning pillar consumed him.
In the outside world, Wilma tumbled to the ground, her expression dazed.
When she regained her senses, she turned to the Law Enforcement Elder.
“Law Enforcement Elder, please save Braydon!
I beg you!” she cried, her face quickly streaked with tears.
The Law Enforcement Elder sighed.
“Wilma, it’s not that I don’t want to help.
But this is the place of assessment.
Even a tenth level transcendent would be powerless here.
My condolences.” Wilma’s body trembled as despair overwhelmed her.
“Wilma!” A cold voice suddenly rang out.
“Stand up!” “As a legitimate daughter of the Nilles family, such behavior is disgraceful!” Wilma looked up to see Harwin Nilles standing there with a stern expression.
The anger that had been building within her exploded.
She stood up and glared at Harwin.
“A legitimate daughter of the Nilles family?” “Harwin Nilles, you still remember that I’m a legitimate daughter?
If that’s true, then kneel right now!” “Don’t forget—you’re just an elder!” Her words stunned everyone.
They hadn’t expected Wilma to say something so bold.
Harwin’s face darkened, his eyes cold.
Traditionally, elders were expected to bow to the family’s legitimate heirs.
However, in practice, the patriarch’s authority had been divided, and such customs were no longer enforced.
Even Wilma’s father had never required the elders to kneel.
But now, Wilma was forcing the issue.
Her challenge was clear: if Harwin knelt, he would affirm her status as the legitimate daughter.
If he didn’t, she would refuse to acknowledge her title.
Harwin clenched his fists tightly.
The Law Enforcement Elder’s expression shifted as he moved to stand beside Wilma, prepared to intervene if Harwin lost control.
“Kneel—or don’t!” Wilma demanded coldly.
Bang!
A dull thud echoed as Harwin dropped to one knee before her, his head bowed to hide his expression.
“Harwin Nilles, Third Elder of the Nilles family, greets the Second Miss!” With that, he began to rise.
“Did I tell you to get up?
“Have you forgotten your manners?
Someone who can’t distinguish rank shouldn’t be an elder.
You should step down.” Harwin froze mid-motion.
“Wilma, he’s still the Third Elder.
Let it go,” the Law Enforcement Elder interjected, trying to defuse the tension.
Wilma sneered but relented.
“Since the Law Enforcement Elder has spoken, you may rise.” “However, Third Elder, I suggest you review the family rules.
If you continue to ignore proper etiquette, you’ll meet a grim end one day.” “Thank you for your guidance, Second Miss,” Harwin replied, his words forced through gritted teeth.
He stood, his figure vanishing into the distance moments later.
The ordeal was finally over.
Suddenly, a weak figure appeared, coughing up blood.
“The Rock Dragon King… is truly powerful!”
