The Whispers of the Demon Dragon Abyss

"What a pity. If I had been by your side then, I would have reminded you— the Dragon Lich is a kind of soul entity, and the physical body it occupies is meaningless to such a high-level soul creature..."

"Therefore, even if Dragon Lich suffers from a split personality, it will directly manifest in the physical body you can see..."

"All talk of good and evil is a lie! From beginning to end, you only encountered one clear-headed will: Besard..."

Roger shook his head with a regretful expression.

"But there's really nothing you can do..."

He added a sentence.

Cisco gave a wry smile.

"And then what happened?"

Roger pressed on with the question.

The awakening of the dragon's soul prematurely triggered a battle within the Soul Domain.

Affected by the fighting between the two sides.

Cisco's spiritual form was severely damaged.

He lurked on the edge of the dragon's soul, barely clinging to life.

During this period.

Cisco is trying to return to his physical body.

But to his horror, he discovered that Besard had used magic to trap his physical body sometime during the war.

Stephanie was also unconscious.

Left with no other choice.

Cisco activated the two long- Concealment Demigod Artifact.

These two Demigod Artifacts, one of which protects his soul.

A piece of clothing to protect his body.

This gave him the means to survive.

The battle between the Dragon Lich and the dragon soul quickly came to an end.

The dragon is very powerful.

His soul was equally resilient.

But he was indeed suppressed by the Demon Dragon Abyss.

Therefore, the dragon's situation is even worse than Besard's.

Final.

The Dragon Lich successfully killed the dragon's soul seed.

Just as he was trying to completely seize control of the Demon Dragon's Soul Domain.

After lying low for a long time, Cisco suddenly made his move.

He used Demigod Artifact to ambush Besard.

And in a very short time, they gained control of the dragon's body.

And that was within the Soul Domain.

Cisco also discovered a portion of the authority over the Demon Dragon Abyss...

Turn out to be.

Like the Dragon Lich, the Cosmic Demon Dragon has infiltrated and gained some control over the Demon Dragon Abyss that suppressed it over a long period of time.

This portion of power was precisely what Cisco used.

He banished Besard from the Soul Domain.

And using the power of the Demon Dragon Abyss, it was sent to the Tenth Layer—

That is, in the most terrifying, Bone-Etching Land!

That concludes the discussion.

The two were briefly out of danger of death.

However, this also sowed the seeds of a huge hidden danger—

On one hand, there is the threat from the Dragon Lich who has shed his mask of hypocrisy.

This guy was knocked down to the Tenth Layer.

But they are still trying to find a way to get back to the Ninth Layer.

The Dragon Lich is extremely powerful.

Cisco worries Celestial Capital that he will make a comeback.

In fact.

Even if the Dragon Lich obediently stayed on the Tenth Layer, their lives wouldn't be easy.

Because Besard often summons terrifying creatures.

They launched a surprise attack while they were resting.

Stephanie is usually the one who gets ambushed.

Since the Dragon Lich is an undead creature, it does not need to sleep.

But Stephanie will eventually get tired.

In addition, Besard has a variety of methods.

Therefore, Stephanie had a very difficult time guarding against it.

Especially when it comes to taking care of Cisco's physical health.

He found it even more difficult to move forward.

On the other hand...

Influenced by the spells of Besard —or perhaps for other reasons— Cisco found himself completely trapped in the Demon Dragon's Soul Domain!

There's no way to leave!

Because he failed to fully grasp the dragon's soul seed.

Therefore, he can only control a very limited portion of the dragon's body.

Furthermore, the dragon's body has not fully recovered—most of the area remains in a state of death and silence.

Therefore, Cisco was completely trapped here.

That's all.

The Dragon Lich exerted pressure on Cisco's body day and night, or used magic to ambush Stephanie, creating immense pressure for the two of them.

Fortunately, just when they were about to collapse...

Cisco finally gained further control over the dragon's body.

He gained more power.

This power was enough to protect him and Stephanie from further harm from the Dragon Lich.

But that's all there is to it.

He had no way to escape the Demon Dragon Abyss.

They also cannot find liberation for their own souls.

He could only watch helplessly as his gender-swapped body rotted away.

The battle of wits between Cisco and the Dragon Lich lasted for more than a decade.

About 6 years ago.

Cisco used the power of the dragon to engage in another battle of wits with Besard from afar.

Unlike previous evenly matched situations.

This time, Besard appeared very weak.

Cisco had the upper hand.

Although the latter was not blinded by this situation and became greedy and reckless.

But they also tried to kill or suppress Besard during the battle.

The end of the battle.

Cisco sensed that Besard's presence was gradually dissipating.

On the vast Tenth Layer.

Cisco completely lost his senses of the Dragon Lich—

It seems that Besard is really dead!

But Cisco dared not be negligent.

He told Stephanie never to go to the Tenth Layer.

Then began a long and arduous effort.

During this period.

With great difficulty, he heard the voices of some mortals through the power of the dragon.

He did so through his research in the field.

After overcoming numerous difficulties, they entered the dreams of some of the villagers in the Green Whisper Mountains!

One of them.

That is the orc Martial Artist, Blyde!

"My current condition prevents me from leaving the Demon Dragon Abyss."

But it's still possible to distribute some bottles and jars.

Fortunately, the Martial Artist was a man of his word.

He really did send you the distress signal...

When we get to this point...

Cisco was visibly choked up; it was a pity that spirits couldn't cry, but Cisco's painful memories of the past thirty years were enough for Roger to empathize with him.

The grief that had accumulated in his heart made Roger feel even more guilty.

Roger silently adjusted the power within his Soul Domain.

It releases a slight, soothing fluctuation.

While reassuring Cisco in this way, he asked, "You never saw the Dragon Lich Besard again after that?"

Cisco nodded.

"But I doubt he's still alive! He's not that easy to kill... He must still be plotting something!"

Regarding Cisco's assessment.

Roger basically agreed.

But that's not all he cares about.

He gazed at the distant corpse of the demonic dragon.

Suddenly he said:

"Besard may not be the only one still alive..."

Cisco was slightly taken aback.

An even more terrified expression immediately appeared on his face:

"So... this dragon is also problematic!?"

"Teacher, my current condition may be beyond saving, but please, you must take Stephanie away. She's still a child; perhaps there's still a chance for her to turn back..."

Roger quickly interrupted him:

"To me, you are all children..."

"You don't need to worry too much about me. I am now the Star Lord of Mystra, and there are not many people on this planet who can match my power..."

"Whether it's Dragon Lich or Cosmic Demon Dragon, if they bully my disciple—it's actually their misfortune!"

"At times like this... it would actually be a good thing for them if they really died..."

Under Cisco's excited gaze.

Roger turned and walked into the thick white net that enveloped Cisco's body.

The white netting is very thick and tough.

But it was no match for the invincible sharpness of the Red Moon.

It could only be forced to let out mournful cries of being torn apart.

Then it turned into snowflakes and disappeared into the air.

After breaking the Dragon Lich's spell in the most unreasonable way.

Roger examined Cisco's body.

The test results were terrible—

This body has completely lost its vitality and has had many elements extracted by the Dragon Lich, as well as some strange things added to it.

This made its already somewhat unstable structure, affected by the Yin-Yang Inversion Grand Formation, even more fragile.

If it weren't for the Demigod Artifact constantly protecting the core of Cisco's body...

"It's probably already turned into a puddle of mud. This kind of body obviously can't return to its original state, and even if his soul were to be freed from the Soul Domain, it would be meaningless..."

A cold glint flashed in Roger's eyes.

For a Martial Artist

Losing your physical body is probably the most painful thing.

Martial Artist pursue a state of Heaven and Man United.

Physical disability is the easiest way to affect one's mental balance!

Not to mention the complete collapse of his physical body! Cisco's martial arts talent was far inferior to Jyn's.

But in terms of passion, it surpasses even that.

Although Roger could plead with the Queen to help create a body specifically for Cisco.

But a reconstructed body can never compare to one's original one.

Cisco will probably never be able to practice martial arts again...

"Teacher, for me, just being able to survive is already a blessing..."

Cisco's spirit seemed to have sensed Roger's thoughts.

He spoke in a low voice.

Roger nodded.

The next moment.

He pulled out the Red Moon and inserted it into the side of Cisco's body.

Then he instructed the two of them:

"You two stay here and wait for me, don't go anywhere!"

Above the Red Moon.

The ghost king's phantom gradually solidified into a physical form.

With a loud clang.

He pulled the knife from the crevice in the rock.

Roger nodded casually.

Cisco and his partner did not hesitate.

They all expressed that they would not leave.

Roger turned his head.

Their gaze was drawn to the crack leading to the Tenth Layer!

After Roger cut off the magical marks on Cisco's body.

No strange signs appeared on the Tenth Layer.

In Roger's perception.

There seemed to be no sign of life there.

Everything seemed to indicate that the Dragon Lich was completely dead.

But Roger saw it differently.

Although much compelling evidence points to this.

But Besard's death is illogical.

As someone who has such a strong desire for life.

He couldn't just disappear from this world without a word.

The Dragon Lich was silent.

He's definitely up to no good! It's just that Roger is now incredibly skilled and daring.

He immediately kicked the crack.

Boom! The sound of falling rocks came from all directions.

Then the ground suddenly collapsed.

A huge cave was revealed.

Roger jumped without thinking.

And just as he was falling toward the Tenth Layer.

The long-dormant Demon Dragon Abyss seemed to suddenly awaken! A suffocating pressure squeezed Roger's internal organs from his body! Faintly...

He also heard a series of crying sounds—

The sound was so mournful and chilling!

Roger felt a chill run down his spine.

That instant.

It felt as if countless hands were Kiting at his body!

On the data bar...

"Notification: You have encountered rejection from the Demon Dragon Abyss!"

"You listened to the Whispers of the Demon Dragon Abyss..."

"Warning: You are being captured by the power of the Demon Dragon Abyss..."

"Notice: 100% Toughness value is in effect... Power Authority is in effect..."

You cannot be captured by the Demon Dragon Abyss!

After the capture failed.

Demon Dragon Abyss seemed to be in a state of rage and embarrassment.

The Kiting sensation instantly transformed into a series of even more intense blows and impacts!

Even Roger's defensive capabilities were astonishing.

They couldn't withstand the feeling of being 'forged and tempered'.

The next moment.

He decisively mobilized the power of his position!

"Notification: You have activated the Slaughter Authority Rank, Forging Authority Rank, Ocean Authority Rank, True Dragon Authority Rank, Aberrant Authority Rank Deadly Poison Authority Rank Maiden Authority Rank, Justice Authority Rank Authority Defense..."

In a short time.

A massive number of stats were piled up on Roger's body like layers of armor.

Faced with an astonishingly Authority Defense.

The wrath of the Demon Dragon Abyss seemed insignificant.

Roger never felt that pressure again.

However, he did not let his guard down.

Instead, it carefully sank downwards.

The Tenth Layer of the Demon Dragon Abyss is extremely vast.

Unlike the nine levels above, which are all caves built on cliffs.

The Tenth Layer looks a bit like a large beach.

There are also many puddles on the beach.

In some places, the beaches were even covered by a strange expanse of seawater.

When a normal person walks by.

The seawater reached up to their knees.

Roger walked on the Tenth Layer.

Here, he felt the killing intent emanating from the Demon Dragon Abyss even more intensely.

The killing intent here is overwhelming! Compared to the amount gathered at the bottom of the Demon Dragon Abyss, the killing intent Roger carried was insignificant! This surprised and delighted him.

What's astonishing is the sheer absurdity of the amount of killing intent emanating from Demon Dragon Abyss!

Such an exaggerated murderous aura.

Then there must be a greater mystery hidden here.

Moreover, an unimaginable number of lives must have perished here.

Even if they are all monsters, it's still amazing enough.

The happy part is...

The murderous aura here has been building up for a long time.

It is robust and stable in nature.

As a result, a small amount of spirituality was condensed.

If I could cultivate here.

Roger can legitimately cultivate a considerable amount of Slaughter Authority Rank on his own! This is also very important for his attempt to become immortal! Currently, his Slaughter Authority Rank is 0.8.

After defeating Slaughter Mask.

His rank has reached 0.78.

After two more moments of enlightenment, I reached my current level.

And they want to achieve immortality.

Roger needs to at least reach Slaughter Authority Rank of 1.0.

Although the amount of killing intent in the Demon Dragon Abyss was not enough for him to complete the Slaughter Authority Rank required for immortality in one go.

But it's still a huge help!...

Lost in thought.

Roger arrived at a more open beach.

Everywhere you look, there are piles of white bones.

And right in the center of that pile of bones.

Roger saw a rather unusual-looking skeleton.

That thing's head resembles a bony dragon.

Their bodies are somewhat similar to those of humans.

It has a thick tail growing from the bottom of its spine.

It has a somewhat incongruous, Half-Dragon Man feel to it.

But this is exactly what Cisco described as the Dragon Lich Besard! "Could he really be dead?"

Roger muttered something to himself.

Then he reached out and touched it.
