Neither the "Soul of the Heroic Spirit" nor the "Shadow Clone" could make a sound. The sound that the Soul of the Heroic Spirit was making at this moment was actually achieved through multiple means!

Since obtaining the "information" about Enri's [Commander] profession, Tang Zheng had made ample preparations for today's meeting.

First, connect with the Shadow Clone through "information" and "Magic Mark" to transmit what you say to the Shadow Clone.

But even with that, it was still impossible to make a sound.

but.

There is a magical item called "The Life Thief's Throat," which, by infusing it with magic, allows the holder to emit their voice without speaking.

This is not a rare magical item; although its value is around 1500 gold coins, it is not difficult to buy on the Kingdom's black market.

Tang Zheng had purchased a magical item that could disguise his voice when he was in "Ye Lantier" preparing to seize the "Orb of Death".

People who are typically Thief or Assassin.

To avoid revealing their identity and voice, they would specifically prepare these kinds of magical items for disguise.

This item has an effect similar to "Ventriloquism".

The only troublesome part is that using this "Voice Thief's Throat" requires a continuous infusion of magic, which is a considerable burden for ordinary spellcasters.

Therefore, there are not many buyers, and it is far less practical than magical items that can easily change one's voice. However, for Tang Zheng, this amount of magic power consumption is easily bearable.

The "Shadow Clone" is hidden inside the mouth of the dragon transformed by the Soul of the Heroic Spirit, which, besides increasing the monotonous means that the Soul of the Heroic Spirit can only use physical attacks.

This is because this magical item requires a continuous infusion of magic power to be used, and the Soul of the Heroic Spirit do not possess magic power.

senior?

An unfamiliar word.

The meaning is not difficult to understand; it is likely a term of respect, probably originating from the language of some country or region.

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord's thick, spiraling black horns gleamed sharply in the sunlight, and the coldness in his eyes remained undiminished.

It didn't detect any respect in the other person's words!

There are many things that puzzle it now.

but.-

Boom!

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord suddenly spread his dragon wings, his figure appearing like a black meteor at an astonishing speed directly above the Soul of the Heroic Spirit's head.

"Dark Corrosion Breath!"

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord opened his mouth, his eyes filled with killing intent, and unceremoniously spewed out a black mist-like energy breath.

For Dragon Race, breathing is one of the most common, practical, and powerful methods!

That's right.

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord intended to kill the Red Dragon before him and had no intention of wasting words.

[The Corpus of the Abyss] suddenly betrayed her, and before the "The Saintess of White" could even speak, she was killed by the corrupt power released by the other party.

This already explains the problem!

Same race?

Don't joke around.

The gap between True Dragon Lord and an ordinary Dragon Race is greater than the gap between Upper Species and inferior species among those inferior races.

They could practically be described as two different races.

How dare they interfere with the forces under its control and disrupt its plans? Such a member of the same race should be killed!

Of course, that's not the real reason, compared to foolish behavior.

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord was even more suspicious of the Red Dragon's identity. His amber vertical pupils were fixed on the Red Dragon below, and his senses were spread out in full force, alert to any unusual movements around him.

Wow, so fast!

Tang Zheng felt a sense of gravity but was not surprised; he simply did not expect the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord to make his move so suddenly.

When dealing with [Corpus of the Abyss], the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord clearly did not use his full strength; in terms of numerical values alone, it was an overwhelming victory.

"Shadow Ambush"

Body Armament skills!

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit's body instantly transformed into a black shadow, falling to the ground and flowing swiftly like water, dodging the breath attacks.

"That's really cautious."

Tang Zheng personally controlled the Soul of the Heroic Spirit to quickly dodge, thinking to himself:

"Approaching as a fellow Dragon Race and launching an attack without hesitation, this is probably more than just wariness."

"Or have they already discovered the false identity of the Soul of the Heroic Spirit?"

He didn't allow the Soul of the Heroic Spirit to use defensive methods, as they were completely unable to defend against attacks like "Dark Corrosion Breath" that contained primordial power.

Neither the Shadow Clone nor the Soul of the Heroic Spirit possessed any World Item, and their newly acquired [Primordial Chanter] class was also unable to withstand the effects of the Origin.

at the same time.

During the upgrade process, Tang Zheng mastered the skills that were displayed before him during the battle between [Corpus of the Abyss] and the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord.

Wild Magic:

Mid-Tier Wild Magic "World Teleportation": Consumes 50 SE

Mid-Tier Wild Magic 1 World Isolating Barrier: Consumes 50 SE points

Tier Magic:

Tenth-Tier "Mist of Super Acid": Summons a powerful acidic vapor that envelops the opponent, dealing damage as well as a small amount of damage to equipment. It is an attack spell belonging to the four Elf magic types.

The Tenth-Tier, "Seven Trumpeter," summons seven bolts of lightning to attack, a wide-range, high-intensity lightning magic.

Ninth-Tier "Vermilion Nova": The Advanced Tier fire magic among fire-type spells used for individual attacks.

Ninth-Tier "Polar Claw": Creates sharp claws that radiate freezing cold to tear apart opponents, dealing the most damage among ice-type attacks.

Eighth-Tier "Astral Smite": A magic spell that delivers an effective blow to a non-physical enemy.

Eighth-Tier "Death": Instant Death kills the opponent. Seventh-Tier "Negative Energy Shielding": Creates a cloud of Negative Energy, like a black mist, which can conceal life energy and detection magic.

Seventh-Tier "Undeath Army": Summons low-level Undead creatures such as skeletons, Zombie, Ghoul, totaling around a thousand.

[Skill Points: 127 → 117]

I used up 10 skill points in one go.

Leaving aside the Wild Magic for now, the gains in Tier Magic can be described as a "great harvest"!

"Mist of Super Acid," "Seven Trumpeter," "Polar Claw," and "Vermilion Nova" originate from the Tenth-Tier monster "Elemental Skull."

These correspond to the Four Elements magic systems: fire, lightning, acid, and ice.

These Tier Magic were exactly what Tang Zheng lacked, making up for his current deficiency in high-intensity offensive magic.

The Undead of the [Corpus of the Abyss] group naturally possessed more than just these spells, but low-level magic was useless against the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord.

pity.

The remaining methods mostly rely on the construction system of their own Undead, and are enhancement or modification techniques.

There's also "Ruinous Night" from the "Doom Lord," a skill exclusive to summoning monsters and belonging to the Undead faction.

Tang Zheng cannot learn skills through skill points, and even if he could, as a survivor, he would not be able to use these methods.

One by one!

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit transformed into a dark shadow, rapidly flowing across the severely damaged earth, like shadows cast by Sun Anglerfish.

Boom!

Wherever the black energy breath passed, even the air was corroded and dissipated, appearing from afar like a darkness that would destroy everything.

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit retreated continuously, narrowly avoiding the range of the breath attack.

This isn't luck.

The destruction of the [Corpus of the Abyss] allowed Tang Zheng to observe the approximate range of the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord's breath, which was the advantage of intelligence.

Did you dodge it?

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord flapped his black dragon wings in mid-air, his gaze ruthless and cold as he stared at the red dragon earth that had turned into a shadow.

This doesn't seem like a means of movement the other party would use!

There are many branches among the Dragon Race, and it is not difficult to distinguish them, as their appearance is a clear indicator.

For example, dragons that are predominantly red belong to a branch of the Dragon Race related to the fire element!

"They didn't use any defensive measures against my attack."

"The timing and distance of his evasion were also extremely accurate."

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord reached a conclusion in his heart.

It had already set up a Wild Magic barrier called the "World Isolating Barrier" in advance, which could not be broken through from the inside or the outside by either physical or magical means.

This is the power of Wild Magic!

certainly.

There is a way, though: the True Dragon Lord, who also possesses Wild Magic, and the True Divine Artifact, which carries a "World Item".

This Red Dragon had used Tier Magic, so it couldn't possibly possess the power of "Wild Magic," and it had just dodged his breath attack.

This indirectly proves that the other party also does not possess World Item.

So!

The Red Dragon had been within the barrier's range from the beginning and had witnessed the power of its "Dark Corrosion Breath".

At the same time, it also possesses stealth techniques that can evade its senses!

"His movement as a shadow was a masterful concealment technique Deep Darkness Dragon Lord's amber vertical pupils narrowed almost imperceptibly, his gaze growing increasingly dangerous."

"Those strange red scales covering its entire body might be fake—a disguise for Red Dragon!"

This was its immediate conclusion.

Whoosh!

The shadows formed from the Soul of the Heroic Spirit dissipated, rising once more from the ground to increase the distance between themselves and the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord.

"Senior, I have no ill intentions."

"That attack was very dangerous; one wrong move and you could have been killed."

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit grumbled, sounding somewhat angry, but without a trace of fear in its voice. "These insects of the [Corpus of the Abyss] suddenly betrayed us, wasn't it you?"

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord's voice was filled with a hoarse, metallic resonance as he spoke coldly from his superior position:

Even if you are killed outright, it will only be due to your stupidity and weakness.

Wrong!

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord noticed something unusual. He hadn't paid attention before, but now he realized that the Red Dragon's mouth wasn't open when it spoke.

The sound was produced using special methods!

Why do this?

"I just happened to run into these interesting guys."

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit let out a low laugh, and a hint of paleness shone through the gaps in its pupils, which were covered by crimson Body Armament.

"They probably want to find a new restraining force to counter the predecessors who controlled them."

"My junior is simply curious about who is behind the control of these powerful Undead."

Tang Zheng controlled the Soul of the Heroic Spirit to make a sound, carefully observing any small movements of the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord.

The lack of further attack suggests an attempt to extract more information.

Tang Zheng thought to himself, "This is not hard to guess."

These True Dragon Lord are generally around level 95, and their strength completely surpasses that of the Soul of the Heroic Spirit, so there is no reason for them to be afraid.

"Just a little curiosity?"

A wisp of black aura emanated from the gaps in the scales of the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord's entire body, and his voice became low and deep, like the whisper of Demon.

It disregarded the resistance of the [Corpus of the Abyss], and what was infuriating was that it was actually traced back to the [Corpus of the Abyss].

That's the only thing!

This instilled shock and anger in the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord, who had initially taken control of the [Corpus of the Abyss] precisely because of the secretive nature of this power.

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit vibrated its dragon wings. "It did provide a little help, allowing the ' The Saintess of White,' who could only use Eighth-Tier Magic, to unleash the power of Tenth-Tier Magic."

"Hand it over!"

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord glared and spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

No wonder these insects in the [Abyss Zone] can use power that can injure it.

They initially suspected it was a hidden technique used by these insects, but felt the possibility was low, so they asked the "The Saintess of White" to inquire.

Unexpectedly, the Red Dragon directly answered the question. "It is an honor," the Soul of the Heroic Spirit raised its head.

Upon hearing this response...

The greed in the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by surprise and confusion; it had even prepared itself for rejection.

You can just grab it!

The responses and thoughts of the weak are irrelevant.

Eccentric!

The Red Dragon before them exuded a strange aura, especially given the constant calmness in its tone.

The suspicions surrounding "Genrea" and "NPC" may be temporarily alleviated, but they still cannot be completely confirmed.

There is too little information.

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord was unable to analyze any useful information for the time being.

"The technology itself isn't particularly valuable."

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit spoke casually, but his voice suddenly became somewhat solemn:

"However, such filthy power as that of a rank-based demon should conflict with the power of the primordial demon used by you, senior."

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord revealed a sharp, razor-sharp gaze.

The other party actually knew about the Primordial Demon, and even called the rank of Demon "So despicable!"

This deeply shocked the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord. He knew that since the catastrophe 500 years ago, apart from the few remaining True Dragon Lord,

The rest of the Dragon Race have completely lost the power of the Primal Demon.

For those of their kind who did not possess this power, it was impossible for them to even know information such as "Primordial Demon".

"It seems you're quite curious as well, senior."

"Or rather, you must be very curious about my purpose in being here."

Under Tang Zheng's control, the voices emitted by the Soul of the Heroic Spirit grew increasingly deep and solemn.

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord did not speak, but the black mist emanating from the gaps in its scales once again distorted the light shining on its body, making it blurry.

"Senior, have you ever heard of Innate Talent?"

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit fallen heroes spoke in succession, but received no response, and continued:

"These are special talents possessed by Human Species from a remote place. Their abilities vary in strength and are purely determined by innate talent." I unexpectedly encountered a Innate Talent with "precognition" abilities; he foresaw the destruction of the Dragon Race in the future!

Buzz!

The air instantly froze and became tense!
