Since those who came to Elder Zumar's aid were unreliable, he would have to rely on himself! After dodging another wave of fierce attacks from the dragon corpse, Elder Zumar suddenly retreated and raised the staff in his hand as he chanted a long incantation under his breath.
With his actions, Elder Zumar's mana surged, and soon reached a very frightening height. At this point, Elder Zumar's strength had already reached the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, and his mana was being stirred vigorously like a storm in the Endless Ocean.
Seeing Elder Zumar having such a terrifying power all of a sudden, the dragon corpse was of course barely affected, but Elvis and others could not help but have a drastic change in expression. In their opinion, it was like seeing a mortal become a god right before their eyes. The terrifying fluctuation in mana even made them feel an urge to bow down and submit.
