The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 2516
James never thought that the remnants of Xacobe’s soul still lingered in his body and that it was concealed inside the Demonic
Lotus even after his body was reshaped by the Demonic Lotus.
Not only that, but he also did not expect that the remnants of Xacobe’s soul would appear the moment he arrived at Demon
Abyss and summoned the Demonic Lotus.
He looked at the shadow before him puzzledly and asked, “Why did you appear when I summon the Demonic Lotus in Demon
Abyss?”
Xacobe’s shadow said, “I was the one who brought Xandros Tegan, the lord of the Human Realm, to this place alongside the
Azurean Clan’s Patriarch, who was also lord of the Demon Realm.
Back then, I left behind some marks here.
As long as the Demonic Lotus appears here, the remnants of my soul will sense it.” Hearing this, James was baffled.
Sensing James’ bewilderment, Xacobe explained, “This is complicated, and you won’t understand anyway even if I told you.
All you need to know is that I'll help you find Xandros.
This is my final duty.
After accomplishing it, I'll vanish once and for all.” Xacobe was not fearful of death at all.
After living for countless years and experiencing everything, he no longer had any regrets in life.
“Follow me.” He turned to leave.
James followed him.
Following close behind Xacobe’s shadow, James traversed through Demon Abyss.
There were many Magic Circles left behind during the Primeval Age.
Under Xacobe’s guidance, James proceeded into the depths of the Demon Abyss.

After a long time, they arrived at the central region of the Demon Abyss.
Xacobe waved his hand, and mysterious characters materialized in his palm.
These characters levitated in the air and vanished.
Then, an ancient Magic Circle was awakened, and cracks began to appear on the ground.
The shadow turned to look at James and pointed at the cracks before them, saying, “Xandros is trapped here.
Go down and you’ll meet him.” Then, he slowly dispersed into nothingness and disappeared from James’ view.
A black aura materialized from within the cracks.
James glanced at the cracks.
Since he was unable to observe the situation below, he hesitated momentarily before leaping into the cracks.
He plummeted through the air.
Soon, he arrived at the bottommost part, where a cave could be seen.
There, a stone door remained shut.
James gently pushed the door open.
Creak...
The door, which had been closed for unknown years, was opened.
Puzzledly, James walked into the room.
This was a small stone house that was only a few hundred square meters in size.
In the middle of the stone house, there was a kneeling skeleton whose limbs were chained.
James approached the skeleton and looked at it in confusion.
‘ Could this be Xandros? ‘Xandros is long dead, and only his skeleton remains.

How could he possibly lead humankind?’ James was dismayed.
He had gone to great lengths to find Xandros, but all he could find were skeletal remains.
He took a deep breath and turned to leave.
At that moment...
Clank! The sound of chains could be heard.
He turned around.
The kneeling skeleton slowly stood up.
However, as the skeleton’s limbs were chained, they made a clanking sound as the skeleton dragged the chains.
Upon seeing this, James’ mouth was agape.
The skeleton slowly stood up and looked at James with empty eyes.
The eerie scene made James’ skin crawl.
As James unconsciously staggered backward, he looked at the skeleton cautiously and asked, “A-Are you Xandros Tegan?”
“After waiting for countless years, at long last, a human has arrived.”
