Important Intelligence, the Mysterious Dragon Lord Controlling the Organization

The result was quite successful!

This Undead named Cassius Habakkuk easily outweighed his loyalty to the [Corpus of the Abyss] for the sake of knowledge.

It cannot be ruled out that they are unable to fight back or escape, and thus compromise with this inescapable situation.

"Eighth-Tier Magic?"

"Eighth-Tier Magic!"

Two voices rang out simultaneously, one in a surprised tone, the other in a shocked shout.

Evileye inwardly. She knew that Tenth-Tier magic existed in the world, but that belonged to the legendary Divine Domain.

It is rumored that Seventh-Tier Magic is a power that only Demon Gods can use, and Eighth-Tier Magic is probably close to the Divine Domain.

"No wonder even Teleportation magic is ineffective." Evileye's throat bobbed.

She suddenly realized that [Blue Roses]'s ability to escape from the clutches of this Crimson Dragon Lord could only be described as "lucky".

One more!

The Crimson Dragon Lord is so powerful, yet the other party's words clearly reveal a sense of apprehension towards the True Dragon Lord. Just how powerful is the True Dragon Lord?

And then there's [Wild Magic], which is different from Tier Magic!

Evileye a chill run down his spine, realizing that he might have underestimated the so-called True Dragon Lord from the very beginning.

After a brief moment of shock, Cassius Habakkuk's crimson eyes gleamed with fanatical excitement. "So this is the power of Eighth-Tier Magic!"

"This is profound knowledge that transcends the comprehension of ordinary people!"

Cassius Habakkuk kept twisting his head, his spine creaking, trying to find Tang Zheng was making the noise, but he found nothing.

He guessed that this must be a more powerful form of stealth magic.

"I never imagined that besides the members of the [Corpus of the Abyss], there were other powerful Undead like you in the outside world."

Cassius Habakkuk spoke with an air of adoration, showing none of his initial resistance.

In his understanding, only Undead with eternal life could study and master such great magic.

"Has it already been discovered?"

Evileye's heart skipped a beat; she guessed that Cassius Habakkuk had probably discovered her identity as Undead.

He thought to himself:

"The hidden Crimson Dragon Lord was also included among the Undead."

oh?

Tang Zheng also noticed this, his eyes flashing slightly. "Evileye, you can dispel your magic now."

"Yes."

Evileye wanted to kill the Undead before him, but he dared not disobey Tang Zheng's orders, so he raised his arm toward the coffin.

Dispel Magic!

Splash~

The taut yellow sand loosened, rolled off Cassius Habakkuk, and vanished upon contact with the ground.

"Sand Field" is lifted.

Cassius Habakkuk regained control of his magic and looked at Evileye, who was wearing a mask and a red cloak, with the same interest in his eyes.

The magic just now was truly amazing.

It was an application far more powerful than ordinary forbidden magic, and it was a type of magic he had never seen before.

They're skilled in earth magic!

"You two, do you wish to join the [Corpus of the Abyss]?"

Cassius Habakkuk straightened his wrinkled magic robes, displaying his polite yet somewhat talkative nature:

"While you two are both very powerful, I do not recommend that you join the organization at this time. Perhaps you are unaware of this."

"Currently, the organization is being controlled—no, exploited—by an evil and terrifying Dragon Lords. He is a complete parasite!"

Cassius Habakkuk's face was expressionless, and his tone was relatively calm, but his words conveyed a sense of exasperation.

If it weren't for his rotting cheeks and chin missing large chunks of flesh, he would look like a scholar whose research findings had been stolen.

Dragon Lords?

Upon hearing those two words...

Evileye glanced subconsciously at the transparent space in mid-air. Since she was wearing a mask, she didn't need to worry about anyone noticing this little movement.

The world's strongest race, the "Dragon".

Described as a parasite, yet this is an Undead; they really have audacity!

Evileye perceptible step back, afraid of provoking the hidden Crimson Dragon Lord.

Perhaps feeling confident in his own power by observing the presence of these two powerful Undead, Cassius Habakkuk continued:

"I know you two are powerful, but you probably don't know much about the [Corpus of the Abyss]."

"My strength is not high in the organization; I'm only an Outer Circle member. The organization has nine Inner Circle members."

"Based on the difficulty rating of the living world, each level represents a powerful Undead with a difficulty level as high as 150."

"!"

Evileye looked sharply at Cassius Habakkuk, a strong emotional fluctuation emanating from him.

Are you kidding me!

Evileye a surge of shock; she thought the Undead before her was joking, given its difficulty level of 150.

In other words, every single member of these Inner Circle is no weaker than her!

What is this organization called [Corpus of the Abyss]? If they weren't Deception her, and possess such immense power, why had she never heard of them before?

Such a powerful organization is hidden in this world!

"While I can't be certain, I heard that about 100 years ago, some members of the organization's Inner Circle had researched the power of Eighth-Tier Magic."

Cassius Habakkuk's voice turned melancholic. Faced with magical knowledge that was beyond his reach, he felt mostly empty inside. He composed himself and continued earnestly:

"Therefore, even the Inner Circle members cannot withstand the power of that evil Dragon Lords. I suggest that you two not join the organization for now."

That's all!

Cassius Habakkuk's voice rose a few decibels, filled with anticipation:

"While my strength may not match that of the two of you, I believe I possess some talent in the study of magical knowledge."

"If you two don't mind, we can conduct research and share magical knowledge together at this base. I can also unconditionally provide you with the magical knowledge I've researched before."

As Cassius Habakkuk spoke, the rotting flesh clinging to his jaw trembled slightly, and his crimson pupils burned with fervor. All that intelligence he'd shared was for a purpose.

Whether it's specialized knowledge of earth magic or Eighth-Tier Magic, these are areas he hasn't mastered or even explored.

For the Undead, exchanging "knowledge" for "knowledge" is the fairest trade.

Upon hearing this intelligence...

Evileye's horror grew. The [Corpus of the Abyss] was clearly an organization composed entirely of the Undead.

Terrifying, powerful, and mysterious!

This is her impression of the organization as it currently is.

The Undead... perhaps dragons?

"True Dragon Lord!" Evileye uttered three words.

"True Dragon Lord? What's that?"

Cassius Habakkuk looked at Evileye.

Evileye shut his mouth, his arms trembling slightly inside his sleeves.

To be able to easily control such a powerful organization, with one of the Undead even able to use Eighth-Tier magic, suggests a strength that surpasses even that of the Crimson Dragon Lord.

This mysterious Dragon Lords has connections with the Undead; could it be the true culprit behind the destruction of the Inveria Kingdom?

250 years have passed.

Evileye unable to control her emotions.

Calmness.

Stay Calmness!

The Crimson Dragon Lord was right there.

"An evil and powerful Dragon Lords? Have you seen what he looks like?" Tang Zheng's voice rang out from mid-air.

No.

Cassius Habakkuk shook his head, clearly somewhat fearful. "I've only heard about it from other Outer Circle members."

Why have you been keeping yourself invisible?

Cassius Habakkuk was a little curious.

"This is a reality we have to accept." Tang Zheng's voice was filled with helplessness, and he feigned a headache.

"An accident occurred while researching high-level magic, causing the spell to fail to activate, so I've been stuck in stealth mode ever since."

"This is also why I am searching for the [Corpus of the Abyss], intending to acquire more magical knowledge to solve this problem."

Cassius Habakkuk suddenly understood and said with admiration, "I see."

Innocent!

Evileye glanced at Cassius Habakkuk; the man probably rarely interacted with outsiders.

Cunning!

Immediately afterwards, Evileye secretly added "cunning" to Tang Zheng's previous "arrogance".

"I am deeply saddened and indignant about the current plight of the [Corpus of the Abyss]. Although my power is limited, I can still offer assistance."

Now that Tang Zheng had confirmed Cassius Habakkuk was a member of the organization, he naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and gather more information. "I wonder if we can make contact with [The Corpus of the Abyss]? As Undead, what we pursue is nothing more than knowledge; how can we allow ourselves to become tools for others to exploit!"

Tang Zheng was furious by the end, seemingly empathizing with the [Corpus of the Abyss]'s plight.

Evileye slightly raised his neck, his expression hidden behind the mask.

She couldn't believe that such words could come from the mouth of that arrogant Crimson Dragon Lord.

Cassius Habakkuk gripped his Magic Staff tightly, inwardly praising and agreeing loudly.

only.

He had previously decided to cease all contact with the [Corpus of the Abyss] to prevent himself from becoming one of those manipulated by the evil Dragon Lords.

"How about a copy of Sixth-Tier Magic as payment?"

Seeing the other party's hesitation, Tang Zheng spoke again, "You only need to contact [The Corpus of the Abyss], and we'll handle the rest."

Cassius Habakkuk's crimson pupils brightened, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on his Magic Staff, as if he were in great distress.

The power of the teleportation Teleportation magic belongs to the Eighth-Tier Magic. This level of knowledge is beyond his current ability to grasp, unlike the Sixth-Tier.

Evileye's breathing quickened inexplicably.

It's rumored that dragons are a race known for their stinginess, so it's unexpected that they would so readily offer up magical knowledge that cannot be measured in money.

"Alright!" Cassius Habagu nodded vigorously and said in a hoarse voice.

Ultimately, desire triumphed over reason.

"A very fair deal."

Tang Zheng smiled slightly, but then changed the subject. "However, I also hope that you can earn our trust."

Cassius Habakkuk was taken aback, staring at the indifferent Evileye before him and the mysterious Undead whose location was impossible to detect.

"All right."

"This contains my research on magic. There are also some other materials in the base. These are all my most precious possessions, so please take good care of them."

Cassius Habakkuk realized that he was the weaker party and had no room for negotiation. He smiled bitterly and took off his magic pouch.

A moment later.

Cassius Habakkuk activated a Teleportation spell and vanished.

Tang Zheng stared intently in the direction the other person had disappeared, his gaze deep. It was a pleasant surprise to have obtained so much information from this Undead.

The only thing that's unclear is...

Who is the True Dragon Lord secretly controlling the [Corpus of the Abyss]?

The Elder Coffin Dragon Lord? The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord? The Vampiric Dragon Lord?

The only ones capable of making contact with the Undead are probably these three True Dragon Lord.

"Your Majesty the Dragon Lords."

Evileye looked up at the sky and respectfully asked, "What kind of organization is the [Corpus of the Abyss]?"

While Cassius Habakkuk did reveal some information, she was still completely confused and unable to fully understand it.

in addition.

Evileye could clearly sense the importance Tang Zheng placed on this organization.

"Since you already know, I don't mind telling you some of it."

Tang Zheng spoke calmly and casually, "This is a secret organization that has existed for approximately 400 years."

In short.

Evileye's scalp tingled slightly.

"It was initially formed by four Night Lich and three Elder Liches, making it a relatively loose organization." Even now, the organization's members are not many. As for their purpose, it's probably because the Undead don't have the three major desires of the living, so their pursuit of knowledge is much stronger.

Tang Zheng let out a strange laugh, glancing at Evileye.

Speaking of which...

As Undead as well, the other party did not seem to have a strong desire in this regard, or rather, Evileye's "desire" was something else.

"Dragon Lords Majesty, the purpose of not killing that Undead was to use his identity to gain the trust of the [Corpus of the Abyss] members."

Evileye spoke softly, pondering the deeper purpose of the Crimson Dragon Lord.

Is that the True Dragon Lord?

However, since they are both Dragon Race, why did the Crimson Dragon Lord not show the same friendly attitude towards the other True Dragon Lord?

"Oh?"

Tang Zheng looked at Evileye, slightly puzzled. "How did you know I planned to kill Cassius Habakkuk?"

The other party still has value for now, but once this Undead allows him to come into contact with the [Corpus of the Abyss], he will naturally become unnecessary.

However, throughout the entire process, he never revealed any murderous intent.

"It was just my guess," Evileye ambiguously in a low voice, inwardly thinking, "Just as I thought."

She knew it; how could the stingy Dragon Race be so generous!
