As the two Doom Lord moved, the chains connecting their black scythes collided with the curved blades of their armor, producing a soft, metallic scraping sound.

Whoosh!

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord swung its thick, powerful tail, a black afterimage flashing past, and struck the foremost Doom Lord.

With a "!" sound!

A heavy impact rang out.

Click!

The Doom Lord used its black scythe to block, but was still knocked away, and large sections of the bloody blades on its seemingly sturdy full-body armor shattered.

Broken metal fragments scattered, only to dissipate into black mist in mid-air!

The other Doom Lord charged at the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord once more, its crimson eyes flashing as it brandished its scythe weapon.

"You insignificant insects!"

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord's jaw split open to his ears, revealing a row of spiraling fangs that gleamed with a sharp, cold light. "Is this the confidence that allows you to betray us!"

Boom!

It raised its strong forelimbs and swung a claw at the Doom Lord charged towards it.

The dragon's claws, covered in Jet Black scales, tore through the air and collided with the scythe in the hands of the Doom Lord in mid-air!

A shockwave exploded between the two.

The black mist that was constantly gushing from the Doom Lord was instantly Dispel by more than half, and the surging power flowed through the weapon.

The Doom Lord was sent flying uncontrollably.

However!

The distance it flew this time was far less than that of the Doom Lord, which was Tail Strike earlier, and the damage it sustained was even less.

This situation has occurred.

This is because "Dragon Tail" deals blunt damage, which is more destructive to the Undead, and also has a knockback effect.

"These insects can actually summon Undead monsters of this caliber."

"Despite its relatively low strength, its defensive resistance is surprisingly strong!"

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord thought to himself, "In this brief exchange of blows, I've already gathered some intelligence." He then flapped his broad dragon wings.

The figure suddenly lunged forward!

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord's enormous claws were already outstretched, grabbing the Doom Lord and pulling him to a position in front of him.

Regarding body type.

The Doom Lord is more than three times the size of a normal human, but compared to the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord, he is incomparable.

creak creak -

The terrifying grip and compression caused the armor on the Doom Lord to emit a piercing, metallic squeaking noise.

"Roar!"

The Doom Lord struggled fiercely, the black mist emanating from his entire body growing increasingly dense, even overflowing from the thick gaps between his black dragon claws.

This ability will further enhance attack power.

The Doom Lord gripped the war scythe high with both hands, swinging it forcefully and striking the knuckles of the dragon claws that held it tightly!

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The blade of the scythe clashed repeatedly with the black scales, sending up dense sparks, yet it could never break free.

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord grabbed the Doom Lord, swung his arm, and held it in front of his chest below.

Boom! Boom!

Two crimson flames shot skyward simultaneously, striking the Doom Lord, who was being shielded by the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord.

These two spells.

It was the Ninth-Tier Magic released by the element, "Vermilion Nova".

The Doom Lord Destruction's special skill "Ruinous Night" was already continuously reducing his own life force, and he was attacked by the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord. Now, he was hit by two fire magic spells at the same time.

They couldn't even struggle!

The Doom Lord was instantly reduced to ashes and vanished in the dragon's claws.

"How pathetic. Their self-righteous methods were ultimately destroyed by the very power they summoned."

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord looked down with a mocking gaze, withdrawing the dragon claw that had been gripping the Doom Lord.

The black scales on the surface of the enormous dragon claw had turned charred and were constantly emitting scalding steam, clearly indicating that it had suffered considerable damage.

The outermost edge.

Tang Zheng observed the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord through the Soul of the Heroic Spirit, and his eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the dragon king retract its claws.

"Vermilion Nova is Ninth-Tier spell; such a Advanced Tier spell can cause effective damage even to level 100 Player."

"In 'YGGDRASIL,' it's an effective means Player level 100 Magic Caster to fight against opponents and bosses."

Tang Zheng now seemed to vaguely sense something strange about the other person.

The way the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord was actually a bit strange. Using the Doom Lord as a shield is fine, but grabbing the other party as a shield is somewhat inappropriate.

This doesn't align with the other person's "cautious" personality.

Because doing so will inevitably harm oneself!

The current situation proves this point, but the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord seems indifferent.

There are probably two possibilities for this situation.

Firstly, magical attacks have limited power, so there's no need to dodge them.

Secondly, they completely disregard the harm they suffer.

"I see."

Tang Zheng's gaze fell on the charred wounds on the injured dragon claws of the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord, and he leaned towards the second hypothesis.

Now!

On the ground in the center of the battlefield.

The members of [Corpus of the Abyss] became restless upon seeing the Doom Lord so easily destroyed.

That's a powerful Undead that can only be summoned by Tenth-Tier Magic!

Compared to the legendary Undead "Death Knight" or "Soul Eater," which can Undead be summoned by those who have reached the Divine Domain, such as the "Doom Lord" and the "Elemental Skull,"...

Death Knight and Soul Eater aren't even worthy of carrying your shoes!

Yet, it is such a powerful being.

Surprisingly, the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord easily suppressed it, even using it as a shield to resist the magic released by the Elemental Skull.

Such facts are undeniable!

Banezeri and his group, including "The Abyss," were clearly not fools.

Naturally, it was clear that neither the Doom Lord nor the Elemental Skull were likely a match for the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord.

"Ah!"

The Death Rider let out a scream as it fell from the Soul Eater, its life force rapidly waning at a visible pace.

The accompanying soul fire seemed to have suffered a severe blow, appearing to have completely lost its ability to move.

As one of the Inner Circle members, "Death Rider's" combat strength ranks among the top four of everyone present.

The most terrifying thing.

Even if the opponent's mount is the Legendary Undead Soul Eater, capable of easily destroying a city wherever it goes, given enough time, it could even destroy a country.

Faced with this sudden and severe injury to his companion.

Banezeri and the others from "The Abyss" naturally understood what was going on; it was a backlash from magic.

Each of the four Doom Lord and Elemental Skull possesses a power that even they cannot contend with.

Even with the aid of the "Magic Boost Ritual," the "The Saintess of White" could only control one at a time, no matter how hard she tried.

Four Tenth-Tier Undead monsters appeared.

It utilizes the magical techniques and research methods of "Withered Elder of Ten Thousand Armies" to forcibly strip the opponent of control over their summoned creatures.

certainly.

Such powerful magical techniques require consideration of the power disparity between the two sides, as well as the opponent's ability to resist, and will not succeed easily.

However, if the opponent of the summoner voluntarily relinquishes control.

This allows for a smoother severing of the connection between the summoned creature and the caster, enabling the capture of the summoned creature!

The members of [Corpus of the Abyss] used this method to allow four people to control two Doom Lord and Elemental Skull respectively!

However, there is a price to pay.

Since it is not a monster summoned by oneself, it also requires more magic power to maintain control.

However, if a summoned creature is forcibly taken away dies, it will cause magical backlash damage to the controller!

In some respects...

The technique "Withered Elder of Ten Thousand Armies" is considered a useless skill.

As for why it wasn't done that every member of the Inner Circle was given a Tenth-Tier monster.

Besides the fact that the "The Saintess of White" herself has limited magical power, the summoned creatures also have a certain lifespan.

The group of [Corpus of the Abyss] needs to conserve a certain amount of magic power, and they also need to calculate the timing of the appearance of the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord.

Maintaining peak combat power and controlling four Tenth-Tier monsters within a limited timeframe is already the limit for everyone.

"Is it ready?!" "Abyss" Banezeri, no longer caring about the heavily injured "Death Knight," roared in a hoarse voice.

"Damn Dragon Lords!"

"Our knowledge isn't so easily obtained."

The "Wise Wolf," an Undead with Werewolf appearance, raised its thick forearms above its head and let out a mournful howl like Wolf Howl.

"Sacrificial Ritual - Moonlight and Shadows!"

Splash-

An invisible crimson light instantly shone from the battlefield they had prepared, and a large number of the Undead from the land were transformed into pure Negative Energy, merging into the sacrificial ritual.

In an instant!

A crescent moon, its shadow a deep crimson, appeared overhead.

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord was shrouded in a hazy aura, and the ability of its black scales to absorb light and even change the angle of light refraction vanished instantly.

The next moment.

The dragon's silhouette, covered in solid black scales resembling Obsidian, was clearly visible to everyone.

The ability to clearly see the details of the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord's entire body at a glance, which was previously impossible due to the influence of light, has been completely lost!

"Success!" The "Wise Wolf's" aura weakened, but his tone remained unusually excited.

Upon witnessing this scene...

At almost the same moment, hope rekindled in everyone's eyes.

"Resist Break!"

"Resist Weakening!"

"Deafness!"

Negative Status Effect Enhancement!

"Blindness!"

Lower Muscle Strength Reduction!

"Lower Agility Reduction!"

In an instant, countless spells of annihilation were unleashed upon the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord in the air.

Some of these spells were cast by Banezeri and others from the Abyss themselves, but most were cast through magical artifacts.

Having submitted to the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord for so long, most of the technology they contributed was used by him, so naturally they were able to deduce the solutions to those technologies.

For example!

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord's ability to affect vision and even distort light, while seemingly his own power, is actually a special magical protective measure.

It can not only affect detection magic, but it can even resist negative status magic!

"My turn!"

The "The Revenant of Yellow" quickly pulled out a small wooden coffin, a magical item called the "Coffin of Lamentation," its surface carved with tragic ghost patterns.

This magical artifact is where the "The Revenant of Yellow" usually sleeps and rests, and it stores a lot of Negative Energy.

Click!

The "The Revenant of Yellow" activated its magical artifact, the "Coffin of Lamentation," which opened, and a powerful beam of black energy shot into the sky from within.

In the blink of an eye!

It was injected into the body of the Doom Lord, who had been previously blasted away, and the large amount of damage he had suffered was quickly restored.

"Abyss" Banezeri and the others also activated their magical artifacts, and beams of multicolored light enveloped the Doom Lord.

Boom!

"Hiss."

The Doom Lord nearly doubled in size, its entire body enveloped in a dense, shimmering black mist. Various magical lights surged towards the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord once more.

Both elements continued to cast spells at the same time.

Everything went very smoothly.

The hearts of the [Corpus of the Abyss] members were unusually heavy, as the strength of the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord had far exceeded their expectations.

Some of the methods originally prepared were simply unusable.

At present!

They could only place their hopes on the Doom Lord and the two Elemental Skull.

"Ants!"

"Is this all the power you have? Relying on such meager strength, you dare to betray the great and supreme Dragon Lords?"

A flicker of disappointment and coldness flashed in the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord's eyes. "As insects, you simply cannot comprehend the insurmountable chasm between powers."

Pay the price for your foolish actions!

The reason he didn't use all his strength to eliminate these traitors at the beginning was to observe what kind of backup plans these [Corpus of the Abyss] had prepared before daring to resist.

The result was extremely disappointing!

The power of the Doom Lord and the Elemental Skull was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations, but that was all.

At best, it's at a level that warrants caution.

This power piqued the interest of the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord, but he had no intention of letting these traitors go.

Leave one behind and contribute this new knowledge.

Die!

"Dark Corrosion Breath!"

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord's jaws were as sharp as blades, and it opened its blood-red maw, aiming at Banezeri and the others in the "Abyss" below, spewing out a wide-ranging fan-shaped cloud of dark breath.

The Jet Black energy breath rolled down like a falling dark cloud!

The energy of the breath enveloped the Doom Lord at the forefront, and in the blink of an eye, the Doom Lord's entire body melted away in mid-air!

Right behind!

The magical attacks unleashed by the Elemental Skull were also instantly annihilated upon contact with this breath!

A terrifying scene.

Falling into the "Abyss" and Banezeri's sight, an indescribable sense of death made the flames of their souls tremble, and an uncontrollable fear surged in everyone's hearts.

"Vampire Lady! Or is it that other gentleman!"

"It's your turn to make a move!!" Banezeri "Abyss," screamed in terror, no longer caring about anything else.

Boom!

Tang Zheng, whose true form was present, suddenly stood up, his eyes wide with shock. "Soulbreaker Breath —no, what exactly is this?"
