The Encounter Battle Three Hundred Years Ago: Rebellion?
Inside the secluded nest.
A small mountain of magical ores and numerous magical items was piled up and casually placed in a corner of the cave.
A faint, dazzling magical glow.
The light emanating from these treasures added an invisible glow to the Jet Black depths of the cave.
A black shadow, illuminated by the light of the treasures, was projected onto the ceiling of the cave, wriggling almost imperceptibly, like a living creature!
Whoosh-
A long, drawn-out breath was heard.
The shadows and breathing sounds came from a massive figure lurking in the center of the cave, blending into the darkness, even though it had already cast a shadow.
This enormous figure seemed not to exist, completely detached from the darkness within the cave. Any light entering this area was immediately swallowed up and disappeared, like a black hole!
Suddenly!
The figure, sleeping in the darkness, slightly opened its eyes, revealing narrowed amber vertical pupils, and gazed at the piled-up treasures.
A fleeting look of satisfaction and laziness crossed the other person's eyes.
The enormous, pitch -Jet Black figure shifted a few times in the darkness, seemingly readjusting itself into a comfortable prone position.
These treasures are the fruits of its labor over 300 years.
Most of these treasures were contributed by a controlling organization called [Corpus of the Abyss].
Dragon Race have a natural love and desire to collect treasures and magical items, and even with their restrained nature, they have unknowingly amassed quite a few.
This cave is its current habitat, which it dug out bit by bit by itself. Although it took a lot of effort, it is extremely safe!
This is because the entire underground cavern is free of any magical elements, and the Obsidian Vein overhead also serve to conceal magical energy and life force fluctuations, forming a second natural barrier!
Want to discover this underground cave?
Even by sheer chance, such a possibility is impossible, because this underground cave has absolutely no entrance or exit.
The only way to get here is through Teleportation.
As a base!
This place is obviously substandard; describing it as "rudimentary" is not an exaggeration at all. If other True Dragon Lord came here, they would probably laugh at it.
"Phew~"
The mysterious True Dragon Lord exhaled a breath of black air from his nostrils, squinting as he admired the distant hillocks that radiated magical light.
This is one of the few sources of enjoyment we have right now.
laugh at?
It doesn't care about saving face when it doesn't bring any benefit.
The saying goes, "A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit." If a stronghold is built too luxuriously or attracts too much attention, it will only attract unnecessary trouble.
As the most powerful race in the entire world!
We shouldn't care about the attention of any other inferior races. We shouldn't be afraid of, bother with, or pay attention to a bunch of groveling bastards who don't even deserve to lick their nails!
It's something those inferior races need to care about.
But one by one!
This world has been tainted by filth.
The mysterious True Dragon Lord's narrowed eyes shifted slightly at this thought, a ruthless and profound malice flashing in his amber vertical pupils.
I could feel an excruciating pain throughout my body; it was the icy chill of "death"!
This is certainly not its actual stronghold!
Even though the anger is uncontrollable and the pride in one's heart is unwilling to admit it, one is forced to face reality and is forced to hide here.
The real stronghold has been destroyed!
And the one who caused all of this was the evil Player.
Three hundred years ago, in a sudden encounter, the Evil Player suddenly appeared near its stronghold.
They shamelessly want to turn it into a pet or a mount!
What a fool!
That battle severely injured it, even bringing it to the brink of death, but—
-
It won!
They tore the other person to pieces alive, turning them into scraps and nutrients in their stomach.
The mysterious True Dragon Lord slightly grinned, revealing a fleeting glimpse of sharp, white teeth, and unconsciously let out a vicious, savage laugh.
Of course, its gains were also enormous.
The mysterious True Dragon Lord knew that its victory was largely due to luck, and that the Evil Player probably mistook it for an ordinary Dragon Lords, unaware of the True Dragon Lord's abilities.
This led to a series of misjudgments, affecting the final balance!
More than 300 years have passed.
Its near-fatal injuries have fully healed, and it has even absorbed the experience, silently planning and preparing to cope with the situation.
That guy, Cure Elim, gave it a good idea!
The mysterious Dragon Lords's mind drifted to the image of that freak who had abandoned the noble identity of the Dragon Race and transformed himself into Undead being, and complex thoughts flashed through his mind.
It's all the fault of the Evil Player!
They are the filth of the world, and the enemies of all Dragon Lords.
His amber vertical pupils closed.
In the deep, dark cave, only the faint, long breaths could be heard from time to time; it was unclear how much time had passed.
"You've become complacent." The mysterious True Dragon Lord reopened his eyes, a hint of displeasure flashing in them.
If it remembers correctly.
It should have been time for the Inner Circle members of the [Corpus of the Abyss] to contribute their research technology, but they still haven't appeared.
This is a challenge to its mercy!
It is an honor for this group of Undead Undead, like insects, to offer their skills and knowledge to the great True Dragon Lord.
press?
Isn't that obvious?
They should be grateful that they didn't kill these insects.
Since the encounter three hundred years ago, the mysterious True Dragon Lord has become extremely cautious. The [Corpus of the Abyss], a valuable Undead organization that rarely contacts the outside world, was naturally taken under its control.
Brush!
A flash of red light suddenly appeared from the deep, dark cave; in this environment, the red light was exceptionally dazzling.
And in that instant.
The mysterious Dragon Lords suddenly looked toward the location where the red light appeared, his amber pupils revealing a chilling aura.
"Remind!"
The mark left on Banezeri, the "Abyss," has been removed.
"Remind!"
The mark left on Granz, the "The Saintess of White," has been removed.
"Remind!"
The markings left on "The Crimson-Eyed Duke Krunui" have been removed.
"Remind!"
Without any emotional fluctuation, the sound, like the mechanical grinding of two stones, echoed in the dark cave accompanied by flashes of red light.
The sound wasn't loud.
But to the mysterious Dragon Lords, it sounded exceptionally jarring.
Wow!
An almost tangible energy surge erupted within the cave, sweeping through the entire cave like a whirlwind and leaving fine cracks on the surrounding solid Obsidian walls.
"Court death!"
The mysterious Dragon Lords opened his mouth and uttered two words in an icy tone.
His bright, amber eyes were fixed on the location that emitted a red glow and a mechanical prompting sound.
The environment inside the cave was Jet Black.
Dragon Race, however, are born with the ability of "Night Vision," so darkness does not impair their vision, allowing them to clearly see the item.
It was about one meter tall, and its shape resembled that of Human Species, looking like a living human being.
In fact.
This is an item, or more precisely, Golem, an artificial being that only obeys its master's commands and has no self-awareness or ability to think. This Golem possesses special detection abilities and is an extremely valuable item!
Although the mysterious Dragon Lords remained in the cave and did not directly control the [Corpus of the Abyss], the other party accepted its control and commands.
Besides its own immense power, the contribution of this Golem also played a role; all the Inner Circle members, to a certain extent,
Everything is under the surveillance of this Golem!
Such a precious "Golem" was naturally not created by it, nor did it have the technology or ability to do so; it was an unexpected acquisition.
Simply put
It was something I found, not something I seized from the Evil Player.
"Remind!"
"All nine marked personnel have escaped surveillance. Activate detection magic to pinpoint their locations?"
The Humanoid Golem's mechanical voice came again, awaiting the next instruction.
The mysterious Dragon Lords's eyes blazed with fury. If it were just one or two members who escaped surveillance, it could be described as an accident.
So now!
This was clearly not an accident; the [Corpus of the Abyss] had completely rebelled.
Regarding this result,
The mysterious Dragon Lords felt a mixture of disbelief and uncontrollable rage, but these emotions were quickly replaced by a deep sense of vigilance.
[Corpus of the Abyss] knew very well the strength of these insects; they were no match for it.
These Undead are not stupid.
Knowing full well that the only consequence of rebellion would be annihilation, yet still making this choice, there's something strange about it.
Thump!
A dull, loud thud.
The mysterious Dragon Lords seemed to stand up, but his entire body was still shrouded in dense darkness, with only his pupils, reflected by the magical light, emitting a chilling gleam.
It must make a decision as soon as possible!
[Corpus of the Abyss] have high value, but once they rebel, they have no reason to exist and must be completely eliminated!
Because these beings of the Corpus of the Abyss know its strongholds and some of its intelligence, they absolutely cannot allow these Undead insects to leak any of its information.
However, the mysterious Dragon Lords is currently unsure why these insects dare to do this, or whether they possess some means or countermeasures unknown to it.
"Detect," the mysterious Dragon Lords commanded as he quickly assessed the situation.
"Anti-detection initiated."
"The test is complete; no detection-related magical reactions were detected."
The Humanoid Golem's eyes flashed red, and magical energy emanated from his body before dissipating again, followed by a mechanical opening.
Upon hearing this result...
The mysterious Dragon Lords was certain that the [Corpus of the Abyss] had not revealed its location.
Furthermore, [Corpus of the Abyss] probably doesn't have any external support, and even if they did, their strength wouldn't be that great.
Otherwise!
Given the nature of those Undead insects, they would probably lead the enemy directly into his stronghold rather than choosing the current method of defection.
"Very good."
The mysterious Dragon Lords raised his proud head, revealing his gaping maw. "You mere insects, you will pay a terrible price for this ignorant decision!"
As they were talking.
The mysterious Dragon Lords raised his arm and took out a gold coin from the darkness, which looked larger than the currency used in normal transactions.
A faint golden light emanated from it.
All of this proves that the gold coin is a magical item.
Bite!
Accompanied by a crisp sound.
The gold coin was bounced through the air, its two sides spinning back and forth, and the pale golden light became increasingly intense.
On one side of the gold coin is a crying face, and on the other side is a smiling face, which looks somewhat comical.
With a "click".
The gold coin landed on a finger bone of the mysterious True Dragon Lord, displaying a smiling face.
"Activate detection magic."
Upon seeing the result of the gold coins, the mysterious True Dragon Lord immediately issued commands to the humanoid Golem.
This gold coin is a magical item called the "Prank Coin," one of the items obtained from the Evil Player.
It has the effect of divination.
Although the scope of divination is rather vague, it is a rather useful magical tool. If it can be used in conjunction with a profession that has divination abilities, it may be able to produce a more accurate effect.
pity.
The mysterious True Dragon Lord did not encounter anyone with this professional ability, which prevented the item from achieving its true effect.
However, it's not unusable.
He just divined the danger level, and the result was a "smiling face," which proves that the danger is not high.
"Accept instruction."
The red light in the Humanoid Golem's eyes intensified, and a mechanical voice sounded:
"Fifth-Tier Magic - Clairvoyance!"
An invisible magic spread out.
A moment later, the Humanoid Golem seemed to have pinpointed the location, raised his arm towards the mysterious Dragon Lords's position, and spoke again:
"Fifth-Tier Magic — Detection Link!"
A slightly blurry image appeared in the vision of the mysterious True Dragon Lord, who let out a disdainful snort:
"The power of filth."
"Mid-Tier Wild Magic - World Teleportation!"
One viewing!
The mysterious Dragon Lords's figure flashed, and the dense darkness vanished like steam in an instant, leaving the deep cave peaceful once more.
Only the eyes of the Humanoid Golem still emitted a faint red light, which then gradually began to dissipate.
With a "click".
The human being, Golem should have been devoid of any intelligence or self-awareness, suddenly twisted his neck, producing the scraping sound of corroded metal.
He silently watched the spot where the mysterious Dragon Lords had disappeared.
"Intelligence report."
The Humanoid Golem let out a faint groan, then its eyes glowed red before it vanished completely.
One - The Finlia Valley Bottom.
This is a very desolate hilly area, near the distant sea, not only geographically remote, but also with very few living creatures.
This is because, like the Inveria Kingdom, it was once part of the territory of the Kingdom that was destroyed more than 200 years ago.
However, the Undead here have long since disappeared with the passage of time, leaving only a piece of land corroded by Negative Energy, where no living thing can grow.
But at this moment!
The once quiet area has been teeming with Undead monsters, and even a dozen or so extremely rare Bone Dragon are circling in the sky.
