Immortal Stele!
Beside the corpse of the Dragon Lich.
It was Bone Powder scattered all over the ground.
Roger cautiously explored the area for a while.
Not long after.
He found something shiny in a pile of mud.
This thing looks a bit like a piece of metal.
It's just that when you hold it in your palm.
He could sense an extremely abundant elemental power!
This is...
Fragment of the amulet from the Dragon Lich's Life Box!
He then proceeded to dig into the silt pile.
It didn't take too much effort.
He found many fragments of the Life Box filled with Negative Energy and Elemental Power.
Judging from the remaining traces beneath the silt.
The Dragon Lich appears to have died from the collapse of its own state.
"Perhaps in the Soul Domain, this guy fought the Cosmic Demon Dragon to a standstill..."
"Not long after he returned, he died because he could no longer maintain his condition..."
Roger continued to mutter to himself in a low voice.
A moment later.
It seems to be because of this conclusion.
He smiled easily.
The previous wary posture has also diminished considerably.
"Look around..."
"Such a powerful Dragon Lich should have quite a few treasures."
Roger looked around.
He muttered to himself.
Along these sand dunes.
He searched for a while.
Not long after.
Roger discovered a sunken cave beneath a raised sand dune.
Inside the cave.
It flickered with an extremely obscure blue light.
The aura of magical items wafted towards us.
And beneath that pile of colorful magical artifacts.
It even harbors the aura of Demigod Artifact!
"I'm rich!"
Roger revealed a greedy expression.
Then, looking extremely eager, he rushed into the cave.
Swoosh! His feet slammed heavily onto the sand.
After entering the cave.
He indeed found a whole bunch of magical items that were in pretty good condition!
He himself has no use for these props.
"It would be nice to leave it as a prize for my subordinates..."
He snorted.
Then he grabbed a shovel from the side.
Dig deep down.
They hadn't been digging for long.
Then a rustling sound came from below.
The sound was somewhat like the wind blowing.
It also sounds a bit like the soft murmur of an underground river.
So he increased the intensity of the digging.
A dozen or so shovels were used.
Suddenly something pushed up from under the sand!
Whoosh! The dark purple laser seemed to slice through this space.
A net-like magical barrier rapidly rose from the four corners around Roger.
In the blink of an eye.
A semi-egg-shaped restraint barrier was thus formed.
"Warning: You have encountered the 'Dream Mist Serpent' (Swarm of snakes/LV144/Collective Life Template...)"
"You have encountered the 'Inescapable Dungeon' (19th Ring Spell)..."
In the Inescapable Dungeon.
You will not speak, you will not escape, you will not use violence, you will not smile, you will not cry, you will not move, you will not resist, you will not attack...
A dense Elemental Power sealed off the surrounding space.
The Dream Mist Serpent opened its mouth and spewed out a venomous mist powerful enough to dull the nerves.
In a short time.
Inside the barrier dungeon where Roger was located.
The purple and green light merged into one.
His face also turned purple and green.
It has a creepy feel to it.
The dungeon is far away.
A tiny Ghostfire appeared from afar and drew near.
Accompanied by the movement of the Ghostfire.
A very gentle voice rang in Roger's ear:
"The Lord of Mystra should not be so careless."
"Were you just trying to lull me into a false sense of security with what you just said?"
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be your clone."
Ghostfire calmly watched Roger inside the barrier.
That's what they said.
Inside the barrier.
Roger chuckled nonchalantly, "Not at all."
"Those soliloquies were indeed meant for you, but that was just to lure you out..."
"For me, I'm confident enough to defeat you in all sorts of ways, so having a clone is completely unnecessary..."
As he spoke.
He kicked away the Dream Mist Serpent that were spewing poisonous mist.
Then he pointed to the barrier and said, "Look, your spells have no effect on me."
"Spell immunity".
Ghostfire -wisp whispered, "This isn't uncommon, but I didn't expect you to be so bold as to risk it with your true form!"
"Perhaps it's this spell immunity that gave you such audacity..."
"But I must tell you, spell immunity isn't a magic bullet!"
The words fell.
Suddenly, a bloodshot eyeball emerged from the Ghostfire!
It's disgusting.
The area where the blood vessels on the surface of the eyeball intersect.
Strange, grotesque little eyeballs, one after another, appeared! "Die!"
The Ghostfire let out a low growl.
The eyeball then exploded.
Immediately afterwards.
A sense of unease and tension filled the air.
"Warning: Dragon Lich Besard has consumed one of the 'Inner Eye of the Astral Eyemonster'."
"Warning: Inescapable Dungeon curse damage +3;"
The Inescapable Dungeon has been upgraded to a forbidden spell!
"Spell immunity does not mean immunity to forbidden spells!"
Ghostfire sneered, "I knew that with the constant restarting of the mortal realm, the knowledge of Mystra magic must be broken down layer by layer, but I didn't expect the current star lord to be so ignorant..."
"I don't really like reading."
Inside the barrier.
Roger's condition suddenly deteriorated.
But the smile on his face didn't diminish in the slightest:
"But how do you know that what I'm saying is true?"
The words fell.
Roger's body turned into a pitch-black shadow with a bang.
Shh! The shadow shattered into pieces.
They vanished into the murderous barrier!
The Ghostfire suddenly trembled.
"You!"
"It really is a clone!"
Ghostfire cursed a few times in dragon language that Roger couldn't understand.
The next moment.
He watched Roger emerge from the shadows.
He angrily removed the "Inescapable Dungeon".
Roger smiled as he looked at the Ghostfire:
"Isn't it too early to make a judgment now?"
"Wise Mr. Besard, haven't you considered that I might be deceiving you?"
As they were talking.
Above the dungeon that had been removed.
The fragments of shadow trembled violently.
Immediately afterwards.
The fragments were pieced together again to form a handsome figure!
"Now..."
Which of the two of us do you think is the doppelganger?
The two Roger looked at the Ghostfire from the left and right.
He chuckled softly.
The Ghostfire fell silent.
However, its flickering appearance revealed, to some extent Dragon Lich's inner thoughts.
"Could they both be clones?"
A long time.
Besard said hesitantly in a hoarse voice.
Both Roger looked surprised. "You guessed right!"
Besard sneered:
"Then what does that expression mean?"
You think I can't guess it, right?
Both Roger shook their heads. "I'm just surprised that it took you so long to figure out something so obvious..."
Besard was so enraged that his Ghostfire trembled violently.
After a while.
He said stiffly:
"Can't this game of probing each other end now?"
"Or perhaps..."
"Why don't you try to guess whether this is a clone or a mirror image of me?"
Roger immediately nodded and said, "Okay, okay!"
Besard immediately sensed something was wrong:
"Etc!"
"What is your true self doing?"
The words fell.
But the two Roger looked at him with undiminished smiles. "Of course we're looking for your life box!"
"Found it!"
The Ghostfire suddenly vanished!
Deep within the Tenth Layer of the Demon Dragon Abyss.
Besard let out a thunderous roar—
Damn it!
Deep within the Tenth Layer of the Demon Dragon Abyss.
A secret compartment in a fortress made of sand.
Roger did indeed sense the Lich's Phylactery!
It was a box with carved patterns.
Its appearance is no different from that of an ordinary music box.
Even the rear of the box has a spring that can be wound up.
It's as if all you need to do is wind it up.
This box seems to emit beautiful musical sounds.
However, all these tricks could not fool Roger.
He saw the box's internal structure! This was a genuine Horcrux!...
"This is the phylactery of the Dragon Lich Besard..."
Roger felt much more at ease.
Like other liches.
They will only truly die when their life box is destroyed.
For these undead creatures that possess immense power and are, in a sense, immortal.
Their only weakness is their fate box! From the very beginning.
Roger refused to believe that Besard's life casket had collapsed.
So he just sent two Slaughter Clone over to play along.
Of course, Besard's own real Ghostfire probably didn't even come close.
He was also trying to gauge Roger's strength.
It's a pity.
In this space filled with murderous intent.
It has the cover of Slaughter Authority Rank.
Roger himself was completely at ease.
He easily bypassed Besard's spirit and various warning barriers.
Then go straight for the life box!
At the moment.
He only needs to wave his hand.
Then the life box will fall into his hands.
But just as Roger was gathering his Floating Cloud Palm technique...
A strong sense of crisis suddenly arose behind him!
This sense of crisis took him by surprise.
Immediately afterwards.
A more intense tremor of the heart emerged.
It was as if a mountain had been added to Roger's back!
That immense force was suffocating him! And what's worse...
The weight of that mountain seemed to be constantly increasing! Roger gritted his teeth and activated his Authority Defense.
However, the results were found to be mediocre.
He looked up.
What I'm carrying on my back isn't some high mountain.
It was the entire Demon Dragon Abyss!...
"Warning: Besard has desperately activated the power of the Demon Dragon Abyss!"
In the next 36 hours.
You will bear the weight of the entire Demon Dragon Abyss!
"So they were desperate and resorting to desperate measures..."
After figuring out the whole story.
Roger wasn't in a hurry anymore.
Not far away.
Besard rushed over at top speed and snatched the life box from the hidden compartment!
After doing all this.
The flickering Ghostfire and the milky-white spirit beside it finally calmed down.
The Dragon Lich glared at Roger with intense hatred.
The milky-white luster surrounding the spirit faded at a visible rate.
Correspondingly.
Roger's weight was getting heavier and heavier.
Even if he possesses the Power Authority to ascend.
He was also somewhat overwhelmed by the weight of the Demon Dragon Abyss! So Roger once again summoned the Star Master Authority.
The power of authority serves as a buffer.
Roger was able to continue observing the situation in the Demon Dragon Abyss.
He knew that Besard could only manipulate a very small portion of the power within the Abyss of the Demon Dragon Abyss.
This strange place holds an even greater secret!
And when the other party activated their authority to suppress Roger.
This also opened a shortcut for Roger to the depths of the Demon Dragon Abyss.
His true form cannot leave.
But summoning a new Slaughter Clone in such a place couldn't be easier.
The next moment.
Roger's clone flew upwards towards the more real Demon Dragon Abyss right before Besard's eyes!...
This scene was witnessed by Besard.
Naturally, he was furious.
After all, there was nothing he could do about it.
Before the Star Master Authority.
He was already struggling to suppress the opponent even briefly with the Demon Dragon Abyss.
Not to mention stopping the Slaughter Clone.
Three breaths later.
The milky-white spirit representing Besard suddenly turned into a cloud of white mist.
It quickly dissipated into the air.
Roger had no idea what Besard had gone to do.
But he knew very well.
As long as I stay here and bear the burden.
Besard was incapable of doing anything else.
So he focused on controlling the Slaughter Clone.
Heading towards the core area of Demon Dragon Abyss.
Once the authority is activated.
The Demon Dragon Abyss appeared even more eerie and unpredictable.
The killing intent at each level almost solidified into a tangible form.
What Roger could see with his naked eye—
Rows of jet-black swords hung from the cave ceiling;
Sharp knives flowed in the stream;
It occasionally snows from the sky, but the snow is dark red in color;
Screams rose and fell, but when you looked in the direction of the sound, you could only see shadows wielding butcher knives...
These are all products of materialized killing intent! Roger swiftly traversed this Demon Dragon Abyss.
Driven by perception.
He quickly identified a key location.
That was located below a protruding cliff in the middle of the Demon Dragon Abyss.
There is a hidden cave there.
A sharp, explosive killing intent emanated from the cave.
Ordinary people simply cannot get close! Roger didn't sense it when he went down earlier.
This is because the Demon Dragon Abyss has not been activated by the authority.
They did not reveal their true colors.
And now.
Blessed Besard.
Roger was able to take the lead directly!
Hint: You have discovered a rare object - Grindstone Seal.
You have discovered a fragmented, Strong Celestial Artifact: the Origin Grinding Disc ...
"Strong Celestial Artifact?"
Roger was startled.
If he's not mistaken.
From Demigod Artifact and above.
The power of weapons at each level is basically linked to the user's skill level.
For example, a divine artifact can basically grant one the power of Celestial God-level.
And this Strong Celestial Artifact...
If it is complete.
Isn't this a treasure of level 250 or higher?! Roger nervously sensed it.
He discovered that he couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the so-called Origin Grinding Disc! And the reason he now knew of the existence of such a Strong Celestial Artifact was...
It's all because of this strange artifact, the "Grindstone Seal"! "This strange artifact seems to have provided the coordinates for the Origin Grinding Disc..."
Lost in thought.
Roger picked up the rock, which was twice his height.
Then examine it carefully and perceive it.
Very soon.
The data panel then displayed the following information.
"Grindstone Seal: A wondrous object, the control hub Origin Grinding Disc."
A strange object was actually the key to controlling another Strong Celestial Artifact! Roger's understanding was once again refreshed.
He realized just how terrifying the power hidden behind this Demon Dragon Abyss was—if this Strong Celestial Artifact was real, then this place was probably coveted even by the gods!
"No wonder the Dragon Lich would hide here!"
"He probably knew about the existence of the Strong Celestial Artifact a long time ago! With the power and authority he displayed, he could have escaped the Demon Dragon Abyss long ago; he just didn't leave! He's greedy for the power of the Strong Celestial Artifact!"
Thinking and thinking.
More information flooded the data bar.
"Hint: You have discovered a top-quality material suitable for forging the 'Immortal Stele'. Do you wish to initiate the forging quest for the Immortal Monument?"
The Forging of Monuments: Forge the 'Demon Dragon Abyss' to become one of the monuments on your path to immortality...
