Wild Magic?

Amidst the Evileye by a rough, enormous dragon claw, a bewildered expression appeared on the youthful face behind the white mask as he quickly pondered the question posed by the Crimson Dragon Lord before him.

What is that— Tier Magic?

It shouldn't be.

Evileye searching his memory, he confirmed that he had never heard of anything called "Wild Magic".

This left the Evileye, which was prepared to use rhetoric to buy time, unsure of how to respond.

If you reply without knowing any information, there is a high probability that you will anger the Crimson Dragon Lord in front of you.

The word "unlucky" is not even enough to describe the current situation.

With her power, there are few beings in this world who can defeat her. This is not confidence, but a fact.

Even that annoying old woman had to use some tricks to win, even though that old woman was the same age as her.

How should I answer this?

Just say you don't know?

Evileye was on edge, his heart filled with hesitation, fearing that speaking out would lead to the death of his companions.

The Crimson Dragon Lord's attack power was terrifying.

The bodies of Lakyus and the others may not even be preserved, and it is highly likely that the conditions for performing Resurrection Magic will not be met.

Upon seeing the hesitation in Tang Zheng's golden dragon eyes as he witnessed the Evileye, a glint of molten gold flashed, undoubtedly revealing a very important piece of information.

The Evileye was unaware of the reason for its survival!

200 years ago.

The Evileye once joined Thirteen Heroes and followed them on adventures around the world to defeat Demon Gods.

The Platinum Dragon Lord knew about the Evileye.

If Tang Zheng remembered correctly, the Platinum Dragon Lord referred to the Evileye as "a particularly active comrade in the battle against the Insect Demon God" in front of Rigrit, one of the Thirteen Heroes.

Of course, the Platinum Dragon Lord whom the Evileye knew was Avatar wielding the "Platinum Armor".

Tang Zheng's gaze narrowed slightly.

He knew that the Evileye possessed [Wild Magic] because of his intelligence advantage, not because he sensed it. After all, he had never even come into contact with Wild Magic, so how could he sense this power?

Did the Platinum Dragon Lord, who had indirectly come into contact with the Evileye, know this?

Two possibilities.

First: The Platinum Dragon Lord, who indirectly controls the "Platinum Armor," is unable to sense the Wild Magic on the Evileye, or the special nature of the "Innate Talent" makes it impossible for even the True Dragon Lord to sense the Wild Magic on the Evileye.

Second: The Platinum Dragon Lord knew about this but deliberately concealed it; his purpose is unclear.

"I don't know what you mean by [Wild Magic]." Evileye bit his lip, his red eyes trembling.

"Ignorance."

Tang Zheng tilted his head forward, the enormous dragon head casting a shadow over the Evileye, his voice still arrogant:

"You possess the power of [Wild Magic], yet you are completely unaware of it; foolish mortal."

"I can sense that you were not born Undead; you possess power far exceeding that of an ant."

It all depends on [Wild Magic]."

"Tell me!"

"Where did you come across this power? Who is that True Dragon Lord?"

A majestic and domineering voice echoed in the air.

The thoughts that had been rushing to come up with a solution for the Evileye, the worries about his companions, and all other emotions suddenly vanished at that moment, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

In a daze!

A kind and gentle female face appeared deep in her memory.

"Keno, Sorcerer pay more attention to intuition than magicians—"

Then came a blinding white light!

It was a vast, unimaginable, terrifying magic, like a giant wave, beyond description.

Excruciating pain.

The pain was so intense that I couldn't even make a sound.

"Child-."

"Run away--wait aaaaah!"

"Teleportation failed - blocked - "

The Evileye trembled even more violently as the hazy memories hidden in his mind suddenly surged forth like a tidal wave.

Just like back then!

The Teleportation has been blocked!

"It's you! It's you!!" The Evileye suddenly let out a mournful wail.

The voice disguised by the white magic mask seemed to completely fail at this moment, sounding like the high-pitched voice of an immature child.

On the ground.

Lying helplessly on the ground, Gagaran and Lakyus were pale. They had never seen Evileye of security, so out of control.

"Evileye-."

Lakyus's emerald green eyes were filled with worry. He clenched his fists tightly, his lips were bitten until they bled, and blood dripped down his fair skin.

"Have they gone mad?"

Tang Zheng looked at the Evileye struggling in his palm and coldly said, "Since they're useless, let's just kill them all."

While saying this, Tang Zheng did not actually launch any attack.

Normal living beings, when subjected to intense stimulation, might go insane and lose control, but the Undead possess...

The ability to "Resistance to Mental Effects".

This passivity isn't just about immunity to mental attacks; it also includes one's own emotions. Just like Ainz Bone Lord, no matter how his emotions fluctuate, he can quickly suppress them.

"Don't want!"

Sure enough, upon hearing Tang Zheng's words about killing everyone from [Blue Roses], the Evileye felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them.

He immediately came to his senses.

It's not the Dragon Lords in front of us!

Even with his memories blurred, Evileye could still sense that terrifying, indescribable magic was a power far greater than the Crimson Dragon Lord before him.

In her memory.

The strongest being I've encountered is the Platinum Dragon Lord, but even the Platinum Dragon Lord shouldn't be as powerful as that terrifying force.

As the thoughts of Evileye gradually became clearer, his gaze, piercing through the white mask, fell upon the Crimson Dragon Lord before him, his inner emotions still surging.

This time it wasn't anger, but an irrepressible anticipation!

More than 200 years ago, the reason she left her country to join the Thirteen Heroes was to find a way to save everyone.

However, they seemed to have unknowingly forgotten their original purpose.

It's because as their power increases, they realize more and more that turning everyone back is impossible.

But...

The throat of the Evileye spasmed slightly from the intense throbbing, and his voice trembled. "Could you tell me what Wild Magic is, and what True Dragon Lord is?"

"I can tell you everything I know!"

The Evileye discovers that he has never been so close to the truth of the past—the enemy who destroyed the nation and turned everyone into Undead.

Its golden, molten metal vertical pupils stared silently at the Evileye.

Rules.

The dragon claws loosened their grip.

The body of the Evileye fell from mid-air. After a brief moment of stunned silence, it quickly adjusted its posture and landed steadily.

"It seems something interesting has happened to you." Tang Zheng, his figure upright, lazily squatted on the ground. "I'm very interested, mortal things."

"Dragon Lords Majesty, my companion—" The Evileye took a deep breath; she desperately wanted to know everything.

However, the safety of Lakyus and the others is equally important at the moment.

"Oh."

A condescending, cold laugh rang out, "Do you care about the dust beneath your feet, you mortal?"

Upon hearing this,

The tension that Evileye eased, and he turned to exchange a glance with Lakyus and Gagaran, nodding slightly.

Did they survive?

Gagaran didn't know what emotion to express at this moment, and a bitter expression appeared on his rugged face.

Lakyus supported himself with his slender arms and gave the Evileye a reassuring look.

In silence.

Lakyus and Gagaran each picked up the weapons that had fallen to the ground, then carried the unconscious Tina and Tia on their backs.

They retreated towards the edge of the forest, kneeling.

Tang Zheng did not stop it throughout the entire process.

Until Lakyus and his companion completely disappeared from sight.

Only after the Evileye did he turn around and bow deeply to Tang Zheng: "Your heart is as radiant as the midday sun, Your Majesty the Dragon Lords."

"A pointless compliment."

Tang Zheng spoke calmly.

Looking at the imposing and powerful crimson Dragon Lords before him, Evileye suddenly realized that apart from being somewhat arrogant, the dragon king's personality didn't seem so bad.

"I have never heard of [Wild Magic], nor do I know anything about the ' True Dragon Lord ' that Dragon Lords Majesty mentioned."

Evileye his intense emotions, the man who had been conquered cautiously asked, while pondering, "What are they?"

"You should know that not just any dragon can be called the Dragon Lords."

"The same applies to the ' True Dragon Lord.' Only Dragon Lords who masters the power of [Wild Magic] can be called True Dragon Lord; it is the True Dragon Lord's Crown."

Tang Zheng's voice carried a strange emotion:

"And you possess the power of [Wild Magic], which is impossible under normal circumstances."

A realization flashed in the crimson pupils of the Evileye; she finally understood what was going on and vaguely sensed the purpose of the Crimson Dragon Lord before her.

"I don't know why I possess this power."

The hand Evileye beneath the sleeve of the long red robe clenched unconsciously, a soft murmur escaping its lips, brimming with memories:

"As His Excellency the Dragon Lords said, I was not originally Undead, but rather—"

The Evileye briefly recounted the story of the Inveria Kingdom, which was suddenly destroyed 250 years ago, concealing her identity as a former princess and some other information.

Upon hearing this, Tang Zheng's spirits lifted; his goal had finally been achieved.

"I see."

"There's only one possibility for why you survived that disaster: you possess some kind of special, Innate Talent."

Tang Zheng added a hint of surprise to his tone, "No wonder you have the aura of [Wild Magic] on you."

The Evileye unconsciously leads to a step back.

She never imagined that she would survive because of this reason.

What followed was an uncontrollable rage!

It was some unknown True Dragon Lord who caused everyone's deaths. Why would he do that?!

"Is there any hope for the people of that country?" The voice of the Evileye trembled uncontrollably as he asked, his tone pleading.

More than 200 years have passed. Even if there were a way to save it, it's probably impossible now. At least, Super-Tier Magic can't do it. Perhaps only World Item that possibility.

Tang Zheng gave himself this answer.

"I haven't mastered Wild Magic, so I have no way of knowing." Tang Zheng's indifferent syllables rolled off his teeth:

"However, I am very interested in that extinct country."

The Evileye, overcome with emotion, said, "Your Majesty Dragon Lords, I can take you to that destroyed country."

"Oh."

Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, then changed the subject. "Have you ever heard of a country or place called [Sanctuary]? Mortal."

A moment later.

One of the people Evileye left, chasing after the departing [Blue Roses] group.

Whoosh!

The dragon's wings spread out.

Tang Zheng gazed silently in the direction where the Evileye had vanished, thinking to himself, "A good haul."

Not only did they acquire a series of skills from [Blue Roses] and others, but most importantly, they obtained a lot of intelligence from the Evileye.

The Inveria Kingdom was the country that had been Evileye in the past, but Tang Zheng was not actually interested in this place.

What he really wanted to learn from the Evileye was information about the [Sanctuary], after all, a World Item existed in that place.

In the side stories.

The Evileye and Bone Lord obtained this World Item from this place during their travels. Of course, this is a side story, and the actual situation is obviously not comparable.

He also harbored the belief that he would gain nothing.

I just didn't expect -

Tang Zheng's eyes flashed with a deep light as he recalled the hesitant and even stammering manner in which he spoke when the Sanctuary Domain was mentioned during the Evileye.

He actually doubted whether the other party truly knew.

But when it comes to World Item, Tang Zheng cannot let go of even the slightest possibility.

"That's enough."

"Information on World Item is currently limited," Tang Zheng sighed to himself.

Adjust your body shape!

Tang Zheng suddenly took to the air and flew towards the eastern part of the jungle, a crimson shadow streaking across the sky.

In just a few breaths.

Tang Zheng had already appeared above the Eastern Forest Rift, and below him, a dense swarm of Goblin roared!

Tang Zheng swooped down, his dragon tail lashing out and striking the ground. The earth trembled, and the dense horde of Goblin was instantly killed.

at the same time.

An invisible figure was moving swiftly through the forest as if fleeing for its life.

"That's terrifying!"

"This is terrifying! A dragon actually appeared here!" The Demon Snake of the West was sweating profusely, frantically twisting its body as it desperately tried to escape.

He didn't know what was happening, nor did he care about the human's request for him to raise Goblin. Faced with a powerful and terrifying dragon, running away was the only option.

A shadow looms.

The strong wind swept through and overturned the lush trees in front of them.

The Demon Snake of the West's entire body stiffened. The suppression from the level of life itself made it unable to escape, its body frozen in place.

He shakily raised his head.

Before the Demon Snake of the West could even see what was happening, it was enveloped by a massive crimson shadow, and its body instantly turned into a bloody pulp.

"Now that the Adventurer's Guild has discovered the anomalies in the Great Forest of Tob, the Breeding Plan here will have to be suspended for the time being."

Tang Zheng raised his dragon claw, looking at the large pit in front of him and the pool of flesh inside, his expression indifferent.

He planned to move the Breeding Plan to the Abelion Hills, and the Demon Snake of the West would then have no reason to exist.

With a flick of his sharp fingertips, he removed a piece from the flesh of the Demon Snake of the West and put it into his Item Box. He planned to perform a repeated "resurrection" death process on Demon Snake of the West to prevent any accidents.
