Chapter 142 The Mouthpiece of the Night (I)

Casius followed the black fog and flew in the castle.

He saw the magic circle in the iron cage flickering, and countless blood slaves wailed and exploded, turning into ghostly black mist and rushing in a certain direction.

"These blood slaves have been sacrificed"

"Their destination should be the outside world."

Thinking of this, Casius stopped chasing and flapped his wings to fly upwards. The huge dragon body smashed the stone walls and ceilings unreasonably and rushed through the bunker.

Soon, with the continuous collapse of the buildings behind him, Casius quickly came to the outside world.

However, the scene that came into his eyes had changed drastically compared to before.

At this time, there was neither a bright moon nor a starry sky in the outside world.

This was a lightless night.

The sky hanging high above was covered by heavy shadows, like a dark dome.

The surrounding colors were infected by the environment, as dim as the universe, filled with monotonous black and white, and tall black mountains appeared in the distance.

And just above the Dusk Forest, countless fog groups composed of shadows gathered together to form a black fog vortex that kept rotating.

Casius looked at the black sky and muttered to himself:

"This is the projection of the Shadow Underworld"

"No, it was the old bat that broke through the barrier between the Shadow Plane and the Main Material World."

The Shadow Underworld, also known as the Shadow Plane, is a dark layer that is both connected and coexistent with the Main Material World, with a faint light. It is a sinister realm of darkness and power, and a desolate borderland that is far away and unknown.

There are fog-like creatures composed of shadows, empty and desolate, without any breath of life.

The black fog collection in the air is obviously an alien vortex connecting the Shadow World and the Main Material World, which will summon the unknown shadow creatures there.

"No, I must stop him."

At this time, Casius finally understood the meaning of the vampire's curse before his death-"You will all die"

Once the shadow curse of the Fallen Shadow Underworld invades, the entire North Wind Castle will become a dead city filled with shadow creatures, assimilated by the endless, all-consuming darkness, and even he himself may be transformed into an immortal shadow red dragon.

Surrounded by a glimmer barrier, Cassius forcefully broke into it, trying to stop the black fog vortex and break through the plane barrier.

[Spell Invalidation Barrier]

However, this had no effect. The level of this alien vortex was obviously much higher than the fifth ring. Even the tried and tested spell invalidation barrier could not handle such a complex and high-level spatial mutation, and could only smooth out the shallowest fluctuations.

The red dragon opened its mouth and spit out a hot breath of fire.

The raging fire immediately burned those shadow creatures, and they let out a shrill wail.

But its scale was too large. Thousands of shadows formed a huge vortex with a diameter of nearly 100 meters in the sky. Even if the red dragon exhausted the dragon flame, it could not easily burn it out.

"This level of magic web fluctuations."

"This scale..."

"What on earth did that old bat summon?"

A bone-chilling chill rose in the bottom of Kasius' heart. The existence that came to the main material plane through this alien vortex was probably something he could never defeat!

Thinking of this, he did his best to throw fireballs, fire walls, lightning beams and other area damage spells into the vortex.

Flames, lightning, and light crisscrossed in the vortex, but still could not stop the black fog from gathering and expanding wildly, covering the sky.

"It can't be delayed any longer."

Kasius thought.

The terrible pressure from the vortex even made Kasius tremble all over.

As a naturally powerful red dragon, Kasius rarely felt this instinctive sense of oppression, but now he felt it, and the feeling was very strong!

"Roar--"

Accompanied by a low roar, the projection of a giant dragon surrounded by black fog emerged from the vortex and gradually solidified visibly.

It takes a certain amount of time for the powerful existence in the Shadow Underworld to truly descend into the main material world.

The huge body of more than 20 meters long is covered with dull black scales with a color like residual charcoal. The wings have no wing membranes, but transparent substances similar to spirits.

The most frightening thing is the eyes, which are an extremely dim gray-white pool, without pupils or crystals, like a bottomless abyss that wants to suck people's souls into it.

At this moment, the gray-white eyes are staring at Cassius, and a hoarse voice sounded.

"So it's a former kin?"

"A young red dragon? No wonder. I'm still wondering who would force my poor contractor to sacrifice everything."

"But I still have to thank you."

The dragon, or the shadow dragon, licked his lips expectantly, and dripped the black mist dragon saliva without substance.

"I'll be able to return to the main material world soon. This feels really good."

Casius flapped his wings as hard as he could and barely managed to hover in the air. He looked up at the shadow dragon phantom that was much larger and more terrifying than himself, as if he was facing a great enemy.

[Depending on your own strength, you can observe the following information]

[Night Mouthpiece - Mortifer]

Basic ability: ? ? ?

Challenge level: 21 (33,000 XP)

Evaluation: Mortifer came to the Shadowfall Underworld seven hundred years ago and lived here. He enjoyed the bleakness and desolation here, cursed all light and life with resentment, and longed to spread the darkness and evil here.

He often transforms himself into a wizard who calls himself "Night Mouthpiece", signs contracts with humanoids with hidden traps, lures them into corruption, and eventually turns villages and even towns into death places filled with dark ghosts, greedily absorbing their power.

"Legend."

Casius's expression suddenly changed.

Challenge level 21, an absolute legendary existence.

And due to the special nature of dragons, his actual strength will only be higher than on paper.

In short, this is an existence that a whole team of legendary adventurers can barely resist! It is even enough to cause a plane-level disaster!

Since Cassius came to Erezega, he has never met such a powerful opponent.

Mouthpiece of the Night-Motifer, Cassius had heard of this name in his previous life. At that time, it was already the 4.0 [Plane Expedition] version. It is said that this is the final boss of the high-difficulty branch copy [Dragon Shadow City] in the Underdark.

But Cassius never thought that he would encounter such a powerful enemy now. After all, in his eyes, the Anzeta Wasteland was just a desolate and remote area, not worthy of the attention of those bigwigs.

However, his estimate was not correct.

Obviously, this shadow dragon was very interested in spreading darkness and death in the Anzeta Wasteland, turning it into a dead place.

In the previous life, Duke Brad disappeared after the ascension ceremony was destroyed by the explosion, and there was no news. I think he fell into the hands of this shadow dragon miserably.

"We must not let him really descend to the main material world!"

This was the only thought of Cassius at the moment.
