Permanent Demon Spell / Compensation from the Imperial Capital
She used Shadow Escape to infiltrate the core area of the giant lizard clan, and at the crucial moment, she made her move. A large, thick, surging black mist suddenly surged out, blotting out the sky and enveloping this part of the mountaintop of the nest.
A thick, corrosive black mist filled the air as night fell.
This is undoubtedly a perfect response. The Night Thunder Dream Beast, Demon Beast with dark attributes, will become even stronger under the Night Ruler, and the Nightmare Domain will also surge, Shadow Escape to flourish like a fish in water.
High-level Shadow Element High-level Magic is a domain in itself; with two domains, one is invincible.
That wasn't all. Professor Yuan quietly made his move, joining forces with Lu Jun to cast a spell, urging the Storm Wave to wash over the dragon, while simultaneously using Sound Element attacks to distract the pseudo-dragon.
With the deployment of three top experts, the pseudo-dragon commander and his generals were restrained, allowing Lu Jun to act with impunity.
His Water Element Star River Magic Energy easily unleash at least dozens of Storm Wave. The Water Repelling Pearl has stored even more energy, and he is eager to challenge the superposition of a hundred Storm Wave, which is almost twenty times the enhancement.
Rumble!
Lu Jun was like a god descending to earth, riding wave after wave that crashed and expanded, until it could no longer be called a river, but a raging sea, capable of moving mountains and filling oceans!
A lake appeared out of nowhere, submerging the core area of Jinlin City and engulfing tens of thousands of Earth Lizard Giant Demons.
At this moment, Mo Fan and a dozen other trainees escorted Lu Zhenghe as he ran out of the city. The urban forests rioted in all directions, and Demon Beast fled in panic as a fifty-meter-high torrent spread outwards behind them.
As they fled, they couldn't help but look back and witness Lu Jun's figure, which resembled the celestial deity He Bo, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Holy crap, what level is Chief Lu at? This kind of power must be close to the peak of the high-level realm."
Mo Fan remained silent. He was somewhat shocked, but after experiencing it many times, he got used to it. This time, he would prepare for open-book exams when he returned to school.
Not long after the group left, Lu Jun's Water Element star river finally dried up, and even the Water Repelling Pearl above his head dimmed.
He took a breath and looked down. The water had flooded Jinshan Mountain, and corpses were scattered everywhere. The base of the nest mountain was being eroded by the tide and was constantly collapsing with a roar. He nodded in satisfaction.
This wave of slaughter resulted in the deaths of three thousand Servant-level giant lizards.
Don't underestimate this; it's an astonishing number. Even being executed in a line wouldn't be this fast. Water is gentle and requires time to build up its power, which makes the scene seem spectacular, but its actual lethality is low.
Of these three thousand monitor lizards, most drowned, while a minority were crushed to death by the impact.
Below, the lake was teeming with monitor lizards, who fled in panic, stepping over the corpses of their dead companions. Tens of thousands of lizards had their spines broken and were scattered in all directions.
This is not because the monitor lizards are disloyal to their leader, but because they have no other choice. With the perseverance and discipline of humans, an army that can still fight after losing more than 30% of its members is considered invincible, let alone Demon Beast that rely on instinct to survive.
Thirty percent of the monitor lizards were killed or injured, causing a severe shock.
Lu Jun wanted to pursue and kill them, but he was powerless to do so. It was far more efficient to concentrate and kill the Demon Beast than to disperse them, especially since the Water Element magic energy had been exhausted.
Chapter 181 Solidified Demonic Arts, Compensation in the Capital
Lu Jun glanced at the scattered Earth Lizard Giant Demon, who had been trampling and colliding with each other on their escape route, resulting in heavy casualties.
Seeing this, he ignored it and glanced inward at the White Tiger Pendant.
This harvest was the largest to date, devouring over three thousand Servant-level Remnant Soul and combining them into thirty-two essences. Adding the probability of one complete essence being born from every hundred servant Demon Beast, a total of sixty-five essences were amassed.
Together with the remaining Servant-level Spirit Essence, the total number reached [sixty-eight].
Bear! Bear! Bear!
Above the Blood Lake, clusters of eerie blue flames burned, illuminating an area of hundreds of feet. But that wasn't all; at the very center, a shimmering, eerie blue Soul Fire floated—a [General-level Spirit].
That's right, the General Essence Soul. The three thousand giant lizards just now included dozens of warriors, and counting the Remnant Soul warriors' souls accumulated before, another one has finally been condensed.
Unfortunately, his luck seemed to have run out with the vampires, and he still couldn't unleash his essence.
Even so, Lu Jun had a great harvest and couldn't help but roar, "White Tiger, add points!"
Buzz buzz buzz!
Guided by his will, forty-two Servant-level Spirit Essence fell onto the [Metal Element Nebula]. The remaining forty-two level-three star particles expanded several times, becoming crystal clear, with platinum magical energy surging forth.
A moment later, Lu Jun's Intermediate Level Metal Element successfully advanced to the fourth level, accompanied by a message from the depths of his being.
The Metal Element Intermediate Level four [Artifact Control - Overlapping Storm] activates the differentiated sword light, which rapidly surrounds the area, forming a sword energy storm that integrates offense and defense.
Its lethality has been further increased, enabling it to massacre enemies on a large scale, and it has even developed defensive capabilities.
Immediately afterwards, he threw seven Servant-level Spirit Essence into the moon-white Nebula. The seven initial-stage essences, receiving the Warm Spring baptism, grew stronger one after another.
Summoning System, Beginner Level 4 [Dimensional Summon - Borrowed Magic]!
Lu Jun was eager to sense it, but was somewhat disappointed. The initial fourth level of the Summoning System did not add an extra Contract Slot.
Come to think of it, how could a Primary Magic have such a powerful effect? Otherwise, for thousands of years Summoning System mages would have gone to great lengths to level it up to level four.
"There are level four Summoning System, either Innate Talent or produced under extremely rare conditions, but there are none at level five. Let's try leveling up a Primary level five later."
He fell into deep thought, not for any other reason than curiosity about the subsequent effects. Since he had the White Tiger Pendant and a surplus of General Essence Soul, he just mentioned it casually.
Mainly, Lu Jun discovered that the fourth-level initial stage of the Summoning System, although it cannot add a Contract Slot, has an extremely powerful ability, even the most abnormal effect among the six initial-level stages.
What is 'Borrowed Magic'? It means that when Summoner uses dimensional Summoning Magic, they can borrow a portion of the abilities of their Summoned Beast.
Lu Jun can choose one ability from the list of abilities possessed by the [Night Thunder Dream Beast] and solidify it, which can then be released by consuming Summoning System magic energy.
This effect becomes increasingly overpowered as the Summoned Beast's strength increases.
Others might only possess Servant-level or General-level sorcery, whose power is merely passable, giving the Summoner some means of self-defense.
For Lu Jun, however, it was not so simple. The Night Thunder Dream Beast, Commander-level Great Demon, was a demonic art comparable to high-level magic, with formidable destructive power.
This means that he can unleash high-level power with low-level magic.
Although the mana consumption is still calculated based on high-level magic, it is still extremely terrifying.
The only limitation for Lu Jun might be that his Intermediate Level- level Summoning System Nebula is insufficient to withstand multiple uses of the 'Borrowed Magic' spell.
He needs to reserve enough time for the Night Thunder Dream Beast to summon, enough to sustain him for at least one battle, which means he has to squeeze out some magic energy, and currently he can only cast it once at most.
Otherwise, it would be a losing proposition.
After all, the high-level Water Element and double-effect Metal Element attacks are just as powerful as the magic damage from Summoning System. The key is that they are versatile in terms of attributes, and fighting as Summoned Beast is the most cost-effective way to deal with enemies.
Immediately, Lu Jun communicated with a moon-white Nebula in his Spiritual World, vaguely connecting with the Night Thunder Dream Beast, and had a feeling that he could draw upon its power at any moment.
Regarding the ability to solidify, he directly discarded all sorts of miscellaneous sorcery and only chose the three attributes that dream beasts were best at: mind, Lightning Element, and Shadow Element.
He ruled out the Nightmare Domain first, confident that his Mind Element and Curse Element, once upgraded to a high level, would grant him a realm no weaker than Nightmare's.
The Shadow Element is extraordinary, but the Night Thunder Dream Beast is most skilled in Shadow Escape, and it seems that it has not yet mastered higher-level demonic arts.
Lu Jun didn't hesitate and decided on [Silent Thunder Death Ray]. After all, it's just one type of magic, Lightning Element single-target damage is extremely powerful. It can also be combined with Metal Element.
If Night Thunder Dream Beast were to advance to Monarch level in the future, its Silent Thunder Death Ray might even be upgraded to the Lightning Element Super Rank [Lightning Ring Punishment].
If he wears a different pseudonym, who would recognize him as "Lu Jun"?
When he used his essence to sublimate two major spells in succession, his aura returned to its former strength.
Meanwhile, the battle on the other side was also gradually coming to an end.
Lu Jun gazed at the distant nest mountain peak, where four High-Order Mages and a Commander Rank Demonic Beast were working together to force the pseudo-dragon into a retreat.
Roar!
The dragon's mournful roar echoed above the Golden Forest Wasteland City. Its flesh was charred black and its wounds and cracks were visible. Its hard scales were corroded by the shadows and turned grayish-black, with wisps of black mist rising from them.
This was created by the combined effects of Wind Element, Fire Element, and Shadow Element.
One has to admire the vitality of dragons; even with most of their bodies decaying, they can still move.
It repeatedly tried to escape by flapping its enormous fleshy wings, but was pulled down by the mind-controlling Night Thunder Dream Beast, and further controlled by Sound Element and Shadow Element. In the end, both of its wings were broken, turning it into a lamb to the slaughter.
He frowned as he watched the group slowly and painstakingly erode the dragon's life force.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The next moment, Lu Jun controlled the Star Chart, released Metal Element magic, and the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Sword under his feet flickered, splitting into fourteen flying swords that turned into dark light and roared out.
Then, it flew and circled around the pseudo-dragon, activating the magnetic Death Tribulation effect. Wisps of grayish-white matter gathered in the world, along with Metal Particles and Death Tribulation aura, gradually forming a terrifying storm of sword blades.
It resembled a pale tornado reaching the sky.
Everyone was forced to retreat, and from afar they could feel the chilling, sharp aura, causing the raging winds that rose from all directions to seem to be tinged with a platinum luster, and their lungs ached terribly when they breathed.
Rumble!
Intermediate Level four is already equivalent to half High-level Magic, plus the extreme Killing Power of the Metal Element, and the double effects of Vajra and Death Tribulation.
The destructive power it unleashed was earth-shattering, causing a change in the Feng Yun; the shockwaves generated by the violent sword light roared like the low growl of a white tiger.
When everything calmed down, the fourteen great swords, each three zhang long, returned.
The pseudo-dragon remained motionless for a breath. Then, its skin, fur, bones, and flesh separated, a perfect dragon skin was peeled off, countless scales were stripped off one by one, several thick dragon tendons were cut off, and chunks of flesh and blood were scattered all over the ground.
The Butcher Ding dissects the dragon!
At the top of the mountain nest, only a magnificent dragon skeleton remains, inspiring awe and wonder.
The white bones, without a trace of blood, exuded a terrifying aura of dragon power, as if the dragon's soul from its lifetime had not yet dissipated.
Tian Zhan Kong gasped, "The hide of the Pseudo-dragon Giant Lizard can easily resist high-level Fire Element. If it weren't for the corrosion of shadow, we wouldn't have been able to break through its defenses so easily. Yet it's as soft as water under your Magic Tool."
They no longer need to spend any effort dissecting the materials, including the Strange Bone Strange Blood.
Whether it's dragon tendons for making bows and Magic Tool, dragon hides for making Armor Magic Tool, or dragon scales for making Shield Magic Tool, they are all top-quality, at least high-level Magic Tool.
Even the remaining Bone Dragon blood, and dragon meat each have their own effects. Feeding them to mages can enhance their physique, a special effect of the dragon species. (Original text, Sea Evil Dragon)
Handing it over to the military like Mo Fan did in the original story, and making 28 million, is actually a waste.
If Lu Jun were to sell it in this way, it would fetch at least 35 million, with the five people present splitting it among themselves.
Then, without replying to Zhan Kong's words, he fell from mid-air, his eyes flashing with silver light, causing the void to ripple and suddenly crack open with a deep mark, like a giant maw of the sky, gradually swallowing the huge skeleton and various corpses on the mountaintop.
Dissection and anatomical procedures are offered as a complete service.
Lu Jun sheathed the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Sword, satisfied with its power. Under the [Death Tribulation] effect, any defense was like a paper tiger.
Even if he uses the high-level [Water Glory Sky Curtain], it will be easily pierced by the [Black Gold Dragon Pattern Sword], and beheaded in one strike.
In fact, since entering university, Lu Jun has rarely used the Metal Element, treating it as a trump card, something that would surely kill anyone who encountered it, and no one knew about it.
He said to everyone, "Let's distribute them when we get back. My brother and I only want the complete dragon skin. As for these Earth Lizard Giant Demons, there are too many of them. Let the Li Man military handle them. They're worth 20 million each."
"No problem."
The other three, Zhan Kong, Tang Yue, Professor Yuan, nodded in agreement, having no objections.
Buzz!
Before leaving, Lu Jun didn't forget to collect the Remnant Soul of the Commander-level Pseudo-dragon Giant Lizard. Combined with the remaining [nineteen] Servant-level Spirit Essence and one General-level Spirit, he could unlock another Intermediate Level fourth-tier Magic System spell.
We'll discuss the specifics later.
The Golden Forest Wasteland City now a lake, filled with countless corpses. The stench of blood and water is overwhelming, making it impossible to stay there.
A moment later, the group emerged from Golden Forest and rested at Li Man's place, including Mo Fan and others.
"Thank you for slaying the Pseudo-dragon Giant Lizard. This evil dragon had been lurking around Dongting Lake, seriously threatening the safety of the surrounding cities."
Li Man was grateful and readily agreed, "The corpse and such are no problem, we'll handle them for you and buy them at market price."
Not long after, each of Lu Jun, Lu Mei, and others had 20 million yuan transferred into their bank accounts.
Everyone was overjoyed, especially Lu Jun and Lu Mei, whose previous savings had now reached another 100 million [Star River Vein].
They didn't stay in Golden Forest for long before parting ways.
Zhan Kong, accompanied by Lu Zhenghe, was heading to the Military Department to file a complaint.
Tang Yue was also returning to the Hangzhou Adjudication Court. Before parting, she was extremely reluctant to say goodbye to the siblings, and they hugged each other, saying, "Take care." "Until we meet again."
The two were responsible for applying pressure and compensation at the official level.
The remaining three, Lu Jun, Professor Yuan, and the students from the two national universities, returned to the capital and stormed into the office, demanding an explanation.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the siblings, since the victims are Mo Fan and others, and they won't get any compensation.
With everything settled, the two sat down in the room and began dividing the spoils.
Lu Mei firmly declined, saying, "Use this 100 million yuan to purchase the Star River Vein first. The National Prefecture War is less than a year away. With multiple high-level elements, you can reap greater benefits."
"Alright." Lu Jun didn't insist, and instead handed Lu Nian's [Petrify Magic Tool] and the skin of the Giant Lizard to his sister, saying, "We'll have the latter forged by Master [Huo Tuo] at the Oriental Pearl Tower."
"Two top-grade high-level Magic Tool, one for offense and one for defense, worth a combined one or two hundred million, with immense power."
