Chapter 779 Bone Dragon

The current location is the basement of Fort Midhill Mechanical College in a narrow room. She just turned her head and looked behind her. On the wall covered with disgusting black slime, there was no door for Shade to leave, so Dai The flame that Sister Flynn branched out was indeed important.

Even indoors are filled with fog. Unlike the fog in the real world, the former is just damp and cold, while the chill in the latter cannot be stopped by clothing at all.

At the same time, the first few times I went deep into the narrow room, my physical condition was only affected. But this time entering the narrow room, the unique spiritual influence of the relics finally appeared.

When I first stood there and talked to "her", I didn't feel any serious discomfort. But when I started to walk out, with every step I took, that strange dizziness, as if I hadn't woken up, became more and more serious.

When Shade came to the basement steps, he had to rest against the wall. But fortunately, the divine afterglow state still protected him, and with the help of the [Eternal Youth Leaf] and the simple amulet he made based on the knowledge of elves, he gradually adapted to this place after resting for a few minutes.

Knowing that time was running out, Shade hurriedly left from the basement without stopping. . Perhaps because all the windows in the corridor were broken, the thick fog on the first floor of the castle was even more exaggerated than in the basement.

The specious castle was not exactly the same as the real castle, so Shade did not waste time looking for the door. Instead, he left the castle through the window and came to the castle courtyard covered with weeds.

Because when he helped Mr. Copps collect plants last week, he learned a little bit about the plant populations that can grow in the narrow space, so Shade was able to identify a variety of rare plants including corpse plant, snake heart plant and dead soul flower. plant.

The lushness of these plants also illustrates that the power of life and death in the narrow space has completely lost its balance.

From the location of Fort Midhill Mechanical College, the distance to the mountainside seal is actually closer than the distance to the natural church in the city center. But Shade believed that Joey Barton was more likely to appear at the foot of the mountain, so he headed towards the city.

The further loss of control of the narrow room caused major changes in the internal space. When Shade was avoiding the undead, he discovered that the abnormal space even caused dangerous areas such as "circulating alleys" and fractured spaces to appear inside the narrow space.

As he moved forward, he encountered a circular alley, which was a seemingly infinite length of alley. When walking in it, he could never reach the exit that seemed to be right in front of him.

Shade's keen perception allowed him to notice something was wrong in time. Fortunately, he also had space power. At "her" suggestion, she used [Night Watch] to draw a circle under her feet, then knelt on one knee on the ground, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands and inserting it into the ground beneath her feet, with her forehead pressed against the hilt:

"Space stabilizing halo!"

The clear sound of shattering glass appeared all around. Looking up again, the decaying alley in the white mist seemed to have not changed. But after just a few dozen steps forward, he left the confines of the alley:

"It is indeed an angel-level relic, but it is a pity"

He swung the long sword a few times and made a sound of breaking through the air. Shade solemnly put it into the scabbard, and then continued to walk into the ancient city shrouded in thick fog.

The propagation of sound is suppressed in the narrow room, so even if a steam bomb explodes in the distance, Shade will most likely not hear it. However, the white fog only has a normal effect on hindering the spread of light, so you can see what is happening nearby from a high place.

The first large-scale phenomenon Shade encountered was a flock of crows flying overhead. At that time, he thought it was dark clouds appearing above his head, but when he looked up, he discovered that they were densely packed black birds.

At that time, he was standing on the spire-like roof of the marble building on the side of the five-way intersection. This building was the Kasenlik Commercial Bank in the real world. While holding on to the gargoyle statue and trying to find the next direction, a swarm of crows flew over.

Shade hurriedly hid behind the huge gargoyle statue, and squinted his eyes to see someone flying with them above the crows.

"High level warlock?"

The distance was too far to judge, but immediately, he knew why the other party was flying at high altitude. Because deeper in the thick fog, a huge black shadow quickly appeared, and finally broke through the fog layer and appeared above Sha De's head.

It was a huge skeleton with two wings on its back. The long tail behind it was covered with bone spurs, and red light danced in its eye sockets. When it appeared, there seemed to be a gravitational force around the skeleton that could attract attention, and no line of sight could escape its body. As an undead creature in the narrow room, this skull dragon has extremely terrifying pollution. Even Xia De didn't dare to stare at it for too long.

"Oh, my little Mia, Bone Dragon!"

Compared with the bone dragon Shade encountered in the Deadly Valley of the Fifth Age, this one was significantly smaller and less oppressive. But even so, this is also a genuine bone dragon. It is generally the most powerful undead creature that can be encountered in the modern era of the Sixth Age.

"I knew that there wouldn't be only evil spirits in the narrow space between life and death."

He shrunk his body as much as possible, hoping that the crows and bone dragons above him would not notice him. But as if in response to Shade's thoughts, the terrifying undead flying overhead raised its neck and swayed left and right amid a dull roar, and then breathed out a deadly black breath forward.

The crows were unable to dodge, and like wheat harvested by a scythe, large tracts fell from the sky. The man who flew with the crows also fell to the ground. Although he used a spell like "Feather Magic" at the last moment to slow down his fall, it seemed that he was seriously injured.

It was very unfortunate that the location where he landed happened to be at the five-way intersection below the roof of the building where Shade was.

Holding a big yellow-covered book in his hand, the man stood up with his hands on the ground, and immediately called out the eleven life rings to prepare for battle, and the flying bone dragon also lowered its height.

It flapped its wings and glided at low altitude, lowering its head and spitting out black breath on the ground paved with long strips of bricks. Even though Shade was far away from it, he could clearly feel how terrifying the breath that contained the power of death, plague, and curse was.

The Wucha intersection is very large, and the surrounding shops look abandoned for a long time, making it easy to dodge left and right. But the breath was drawn from left to right, so the unfamiliar high-level warlock could only resist in place.

He held the book in his hand high, opened one of the pages, and let the eggshell-like protective layer block his surroundings, which was considered a complete attack.

"The thaumaturgy that looks very familiar, is it the Heaton Seal of the Church of the Sun? No, it looks more like it's from the Zalas Conjuration Academy. Oh!"

The bone dragon, which had already spit on the ground, raised its altitude again. While the black clouds and mist on the ground had not yet dispersed, it discovered Shade huddled behind the gargoyle at high altitude.

Boom!

The body rotated in the air, and the huge tail with sharp bone spurs swept towards it. The roof of the building was only so large, and Shade couldn't dodge at all, so he could only jump into the air suddenly. Behind him, the spire-like roof of the marble building had been completely destroyed.

Adjusting his posture in the air, holding the sword with both hands, he subconsciously wanted to use [solar ray], or "solar cannon", to hit the bone dragon's head. But then he realized that there would be a lot of battles ahead, and he definitely couldn't waste too much soul here.

"Raglai's Leap."

The huge head of the bone dragon opened its mouth and bit at Shade, but Shade had disappeared into the air and appeared against the wall of the building on the southeast side of the street. He kicked off his feet fiercely, and with the help of the power of the spell, he jumped out, avoiding another flick of the bone dragon's tail. While jumping in the air, the chain from the sleeve shot out and wrapped around the flagpole of the protruding window of the building on the southwest side.

With a sudden swing of the chain, the whole person circled half a circle above the five-way intersection, and then rolled around on the ground to relieve the force, got up and stepped steadily on the ground.

The breath of the bone dragon on the ground had gradually dissipated, and the eleventh-ring warlock suspected of being Professor Zalas was indeed still alive, but he fell to the ground and was trying to get up. He looked seriously injured.

Shade ran a few steps and pounced on him, and then the two of them rolled on the ground a few times, avoiding the claws of the swooping bone dragon. The claws left two deep scratches on the already broken ground.

"Sir, are you okay?"

He seemed to be poisoned. Shade helped him to hide in a building on the street, while he rummaged through his pocket for branches to detoxify him. Upon closer inspection, the book held in the hands of the Eleventh Ring Warlock indeed had the school emblem of Zaras Conjuration Academy.

If his power had not been suppressed in the narrow room, even if the professor lost, he would not have lost so miserably. Shade remembered that in the Deadly Valley, the thirteenth-level witch Miss Olanode used only one move of the "Moonlight Sword" to defeat an opponent more ferocious than the skull dragon above her. Even if the contemporary ring warlock system is not as good as the witch system, the eleven rings are not unqualified to fight the bone dragon.

"It's okay. This thing appeared too suddenly. I'm not good at dealing with flying things."

The brown-haired middle-aged professor vomited blood and said.

The two had already hid in a building that looked like a haunted house next to the intersection. The Bone Dragon, which had raised its height again, did not notice them for the time being, but did not leave either. Instead, it wandered in the thick fog above the intersection.

"Where did this come from?"

Shade asked curiously while detoxifying, but the bone dragon's toxin was not something he could deal with. After thinking for a while, I found the answer from the elf knowledge. So he dug out a fresh green leaf from his pocket, used a pen to write the elf runes representing [Health] and [Strength] on it, and then used the leaves and branches as casting materials to detoxify.

Doing this is equivalent to performing a "powerful detoxification technique". Although it consumes a little more, the effect is very obvious.

"Thank you. I am Raven Oglai, the dragon who flew down from Mount Sikar with me. The Chosen One summoned him, and that terrible dwarf went crazy. He was trying to fuse the level 0 relics. Although The human soul has its limits, but it can indeed control a few powerful undead individuals at one time. This dragon originally slept deep in the Sikal Mountains. According to records, it was killed by a witch in the early fifth era."

The professor looked at the young man wearing a mask and said, not hiding these things. Shade frowned slightly:

"Joy Barton is on the mountain?"

The green light in his hand is expelling toxins, and the professor's face looks much better:

"Although I don't know who you are, you are also for the chosen one. Yes, the church has seen him on the mountain, and his goal seems to be the top of the mountain."

"Did I guess wrong?"

Shade was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that things might not be that simple.

"However, the witches also sent a message, and Joey Barton also appeared near the mountainside."

The professor added, and Shade nodded, knowing that he could not draw a conclusion yet:

"Professor, is it okay to tell this stranger these things?"

The middle-aged professor, leaning against the dirty wall, smiled:

"Even if I tell you, what can I do? There is a mess in the narrow room now. If you are willing to go up the mountain to stop Joey Barton, wouldn't that be great? Besides, you saved me, I should repay you you."

"Well, is there any way to deal with the dragon outside? If it doesn't leave, we won't even be able to leave."

Shade said, and then added:

"My level is not high and I can't beat the opponent."

"Answer me a question first. You pretend to have an accent as if you have something in your mouth. You appear alone in a dangerous place. You wear a black coat and have a normal figure. Are you the 'God Caller'?"

"The question is moot now."

"Yes."

After the powerful detoxification technique ended, Zarath's professor wanted to stand up, but he held his forehead as if feeling dizzy:

"I have a Keeper-level relic on me that can deal with it, but it requires preparation time, so I didn't use it just now. You take it and defeat the bone dragon. As a reward, the relic belongs to you, but you need Swear to the god you believe in and help me deliver a letter to the natural church in the narrow room."

Shade thought for a moment:

"I'm glad you can trust me. The relic is my reward for saving you, and the reward for delivering the letter is that I have to open the letter and check the contents."

The professor hesitated for a moment:

"Can."

He opened his large book, which seemed to have hundreds of pages, and stopped slightly at the back. The page on the left is written with dense small characters, and the page on the right uses extremely fine brushstrokes to depict a white crystal stone with a giant dragon inside.

He put his hand on the page on the right, then grabbed it suddenly, and actually "grabbed" the white crystal stone out of the page. At the same time, all the small words on the left page and the pictures on the right page disappeared. The professor of the Eleventh Ring used unknown means to seal the relics in the book:

"This is yours. The Keeper-level relic [Higgs Dragon Head Stone]. It can only be used when slaying a dragon. The opponent must not only have the attributes of a dragon, but also must be at least ten times the size of the user, otherwise the characteristics cannot be triggered. . Holding this stone in hand, remaining still, and looking at the target for more than ten seconds, you can use Dragon Breath once."

He paused:

"Yes, it's what you think, and it consumes very little of itself. The breath is only effective on dragons, and only has a frightening effect on non-dragon targets. The negative characteristic is that there is a certain probability that after using the stone, the stone will be irreversibly transformed. It will become a crazy dragon-headed man, but the probability of this is very low. The containment conditions are simple, just put it in pure table salt."

The surface of the white crystal in your hand is very rough, and it may even hurt if you hold it tightly. And if you look closely at the turbid interior of the crystal, in addition to the lifelike white-haired dragon that seems to have been shrunk and sealed into the crystal, you can actually observe a line of small words. It was not any writing that Shad had come into contact with, and it didn't even look like the writing used by human civilization:

[If you were a dragon, that would be great. 】

"Are you sure that the dragon's breath used by humans can defeat the bone dragon? This is just a Keeper-level relic?"

Shade asked again.

"This relic is specially designed to restrain dragons, especially impure dragons such as hybrid dragons and undead dragons. Moreover, even the lowest level relic can defeat the highest level relic if it finds the right application scenario. But I must remind you You, the attributes of the dragon breath you spit out are related to your own strength. If you are good at fire, poison, thunder and lightning, etc., you may become hoarse and your lungs will be severely damaged after using the relic."

This relic really makes sense.

"It doesn't matter, I have healing abilities."

"Now, you can also become a dragon-slaying warrior."

The professor said jokingly, opening the book again to look for a potion to cure himself. Not only did he have toxins on his body, he also had other injuries. The battle on Sikal Mountain was more intense than in the city.

Shade shook his head:

"What kind of dragon-slaying warrior am I? I heard that the balanced chosen one really killed a pure-blood dragon."

"I heard about it too. But the other party is the protagonist of the era, the destined hero, the person destined to write an epic. How can we compare with her?"

Holding the dragon head stone in his hand, Shade left the building and came to the five-way intersection again. He looked up at the white fog above his head, and caught the roving bone dragon in the fog:

"ten."

The dragon did not notice Shade immediately and was still circling overhead.

"Nine."

It still hadn't found Shade, but Shade could already feel the stone in his hand heating up, and his lungs felt a little hot.

"eight."

The dragon's flying movements became sluggish, and it took three seconds for it to finally find Shade.

"seven."

As if confirming the target and accumulating strength, the bone dragon did not pounce down immediately, but roared in the thick fog. Because the voice was suppressed by the narrow space, it seemed extremely dull. Shade immediately felt a sense of mental oppression, and primitive panic appeared in his heart. This is the innate ability of dragons, of course, it has no effect on him.

"six."

The dragon swooped down, and Shade felt the pain in his lungs as if it was on fire.

"five."

The bone dragon flies extremely fast, falling like a falling meteorite. If he were hit head-on this time, even with Shade's current physical strength, he would probably be so broken that even Mia wouldn't be able to recognize him.

"Four."

The dragon was almost in front of him. The wind pressure and mental pollution falling from the sky made Sha De subconsciously want to avoid it. But he suppressed this impulse, then kissed the moonstone ring on his left hand and pointed it upward:

"confusion!"

"three."

The bright yellow moonlight shines into the sky, and the power of chaos affects the bone dragon's judgment as Joey Barton's summons. The speed of its descent slowed down significantly, but because the bone dragon itself was too powerful, the power of the thaumaturgy [Confusion] did not make it switch sides to Shade.

"two."

Shade retracted his left hand and stared at the dragon standing in mid-air. He felt that his chest was swelling, and the urge to vomit made his entire upper body extremely uncomfortable. The [Higgs Dragon Head Stone] held in his left hand is using the whisper element to empower Shade. This is a very dangerous behavior. If he is not careful, he will fall into madness and truly transform into a dragon.

"one."

The bone dragon shook its tail in the air, its scarlet skull eyes looking at Shade below.

Shade closed his mouth tightly and took a deep breath. Bright silver light shot out uncontrollably from his eyes, nostrils, ears, and even the gaps between his lips:

"Roar!"

The sound appeared first, and then the shock wave caused by the sound wave swept across the entire neighborhood. In Shade's mouth that opened to the sky, the bright silver moon beam shot straight into the sky like a light cannon. The bone dragon was struck head-on like a crushing force, causing it to completely disappear in the light. Then Silver Moon's dragon roar broke through the white fog in the sky, leaving a huge hole in the thick fog.

The traces of silver light in the sky lingered for a long time, as if the light left traces in the sky forever. As the broken bones fell to the ground silently, Shade leaned down and held the ground, coughing painfully:

"Ahem! Ahem, oh, I feel like my whole lungs are on fire. Shouldn't the power of moonlight be completely harmless to the human body?"

[After all, you are a human, not a dragon. 】

"She" was chuckling, seemingly satisfied with the result.

"If this [Dragon Head Stone] can be used on any target, this thing will at least have a sage-level rating."

He took out a water bottle from his pocket and drank two sips of water treated with [Saturation Food]. The cold feeling finally made his lungs feel better.

Turning around and returning to the building, Professor Ogle from Zaras was still preparing potions to heal himself. The injury he suffered was not a simple trauma, so Shade was unable to help.

"You are indeed the God Summoner. Although you are deliberately suppressing your power, that silver moonlight is absolutely unmistakable."

Seeing Shade coming back, the professor raised his head and said. Shade shook his head:

"Give me the letter. I want to go to the Church of Nature as soon as possible."

"Is that where your goal is?"

"Just because there is no answer, I can only trust my own guess."

"This is the letter. I actually suggest that you cooperate with the church to deal with Joey Barton. As long as you show sincerity, the church will be happy to have a Thirteen Rings helper."

Shade shook his head, turned around and wanted to leave, but hesitated and asked again:

"Excuse me, do you know where the principal of St. Byrons, the 'Silver Keeper' Professor Andre Pigman, is now?"

Professor Ogle picked up the conical glass bottle and asked softly:

"Then please answer my question, God Caller, will you call the gods this time?"

"I don't have an answer either."

The professor nodded:

"Then I understand. Professor Pigman has not entered the chamber yet, he is in Fort Midhill in reality."

"None of the three thirteen-ring warlocks from the church and the thirteen-ring magicians from the academy came to Hazama's city?"

This is unreasonable no matter how you think about it.

"Once the Scar of the Holy Tree ritual is successful, as long as the narrow space does not collapse at that time, it will be able to postpone the problem of Fort Midhill for at least three years, so enough high-ring warlocks are needed at the core of the ritual on the mountain. Moreover, naturally The seal of the church is the most secure seal in theory. The Church of Nature has occupied this place for thousands of years and has been running the narrow room since the beginning of this century. Do they really have no additional means at all?"

As he spoke, he raised his head and drank the purple potion in his hand. Judging from his expression, it tasted very bad. But then, the professor frowned tightly, threw the thumb-sized glass bottle into his mouth, and started chewing it with an extremely ferocious expression:

"In the potion bottle I used during the war, I added a potion catalyst ingredient to make the potion drink more effective. Oh, this is not glass, it just sounds like glass. I am vomiting blood, no Got scratched by a bottle.”

He smiled at Shade with his mouth full of blood, and waved his hand to Shade and hit the other bottle:

"Do you want to try it? This is my unique invention. Although not many people are willing to use it, it is definitely very useful. The academy has accepted my patent application and it has reached the final approval process. I plan to study a few more flavors."

Shade turned and ran, hoping that this "unique invention" would never become popular.
