Baptism and Enhancement

Survival and death!

This is an eternal contradiction!

Sulu looked at the enormous, immortal Black Dragon and felt somewhat conflicted as well.

'If I were to fall into this situation someday, what would I choose?'

He shook his head, banishing the thought from his mind.

"When the Spirit Tide arrives, I will once again reign supreme over this land!"

The Black Dragon raised its head and roared, "As a living being!"

"I see... Are you planning to take on a side job as an [Undead]?"

Sulu suddenly became clear.

He had long suspected that this world was connected to the Main World; since there were [Beast Herder], why couldn't there be [Undead]?

This career path represents the advancement of undead creatures!

Of course, the Black Dragon's initial path will definitely be different from the [Corpse Princess] path, but the later [Undead] path should be similar.

This can be considered a special kind of employment!

"Sinner...you know more than I expected, but it's no use. Repent in the flames!"

The Black Dragon took a deep breath, preparing to exhale.

"No... thank you for your guidance!"

Sulu smiled, bowed deeply, and said with his hand on his chest, "Then... farewell, farewell, to the one who becomes the king of the Corpse Dragon!"

Whoosh!

As the flames approached, his figure vanished instantly, appearing a hundred meters away in a flash, leaving only an afterimage before disappearing again.

Blink isn't just useful for offense; it's also a fantastic skill for escaping!

He had no interest in fighting to the death with a near-fifth-tier opponent.

Not to mention, the opponent is a historically renowned powerhouse with the body of Black Dragon, whose combat strength is probably infinitely close to that of a legend!

"Dimensional teleportation?"

The Black Dragon's enormous eyes were fixed on the direction where Sulu had disappeared, its eyelids feeling heavy. "Damn it..."

Becoming an immortal being also has its taboos.

This was the environment he had chosen from the beginning, the most suitable for the survival of undead creatures.

However, if they go outside and are harmed by sunlight or holy water, they may still perish!

"Fortunately, this despicable thief only took something insignificant..."

It waved its claws, and the coffin above the Mausoleum was restored by an invisible force, while a depression appeared in the stone pyramid, revealing a crystalline green luster behind it.

"I have been a dragon for five hundred years, an immortal being for another five hundred years. The Spirit Tide will eventually come, and I will break free from these shackles, step out of the Mausoleum, and reign supreme over the world once more as a living being!"

"Dawn... will eventually come! When that time comes, no one can stop me, no one!"

Dragon I roared in frustration, but eventually fell into a deep slumber.

"They didn't chase after us? That makes sense... something's definitely wrong with them!"

It would be abnormal for a monster that has been clinging to life for over a thousand years to be in good condition.

Sulu felt that the Black Dragon just now was like a person who had just been awakened, but in reality, most of its power and rationality were still confused.

"But... even with these restrictions, it's still terrifying. The opponent seems unable to leave the Dragon Cave, but as long as they're here, they can unleash power close to that of a fifth-tier being... Once the Dawn of Gods and the Spirit Tide revives, they will definitely be able to recover their full legendary-level strength..."

"If I were to also pursue the path of the [Undead]..."

"It feels like a huge bomb."

Sulu flashed out of the Dragon Cave and returned to the ship.

"Tutor..."

Silver Eye bowed and said, "Welcome back."

He didn't ask what Sulu had obtained; that wasn't a secret he could pry into.

"Yes, let's set off. We're going back to the manor."

Sulu returned to the cabin in a good mood and tossed the Dragon Crystal in his hand.

Take out a lead box, open it, and another Dragon Crystal appears.

"Two Dragon Crystal should be enough to raise my Dragon Blood Baptism level to the next level, right?"

He is now a Master-level Class 4 professional, and the experience penalty is more severe, but due to the special nature of this world, the situation is slightly better than in the Main World.

Previously, one Dragon Crystal was no longer enough to gain experience for advancing to the [Dream Master] level.

But combined with what we gained from this trip to the Dragon Cave, it's more than enough!

"This continent probably won't be peaceful for long... For a fourth-tier Wizard Eamon, who is also the Duke of Black Castle in the south, to not even attend the Wizard gathering must mean he has something more important to do!"

"And on this land, there may be more than one old monster like Dragon I still hiding. Once the Spirit Tide revives, there will definitely be a good show to watch."

"My current strength still needs further improvement!"

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated and gripped a Dragon Crystal tightly in each hand.

[Ding! Special energy detected, identified as Dragon Crystal, absorbing!]

[XP+100]

On the Attribute Panel, the experience points increased rapidly.

At the same time, a gap appeared on the solid surface of the Dragon Crystal, and a faint dragon roar could be heard.

"You think I'm afraid of the remnants of two Great Dragon ' spirits?"

Sulu laughed loudly, focusing his mind on fighting the two Great Dragon that had suddenly appeared.

Compared to the real dragon he had just seen, these two spiritual projections were mere decorations, and he easily defeated them.

Just as this spiritual imprint was being completely shattered, two drops of blood containing countless mysterious symbols emerged in the Material World, spreading along Sulu's skin.

Hot!

Fiery!

It felt as if I were in a furnace, being hammered by an iron hammer.

Having learned from his previous experience, Sulu remained calm, his Soul Projection leaving his body as he gazed at himself, his skin now covered in a layer of scabs.

After a long while, a brand new notification appeared:

[Ding! Dragon Blood Baptism level increased! LV1→LV2!]

[Dragon Blood Baptism LV2: Strength +0.7, Constitution +0.7, Enhanced Skin Defense, Increased Resistance to Corrosion and Frost Spells!]

"The second Baptism consumed two Dragon Crystal, yet its effect was significantly reduced?"

Sulu's soul returned to his body, peeling off a layer of molted skin. "And... the increased resistance to corrosion and ice seems to be due to the different types of Great Dragon receiving different resistance amplifications?"

He then looked at the experience points; the 5600 made Sulu's lips curl into a smile, "Although the experience points gained from Dragon Crystal have decreased due to the increase in class rank, it's still enough."

"Unfortunately... Dragon I certainly still possesses Dragon Crystal, but I am no match for him."

Sulu felt somewhat disappointed.

He also discovered that a world like this seemed more suitable for him to 'grind experience'!

Because of Twilight of the Gods, the upper limit of power is very low. With the Attribute Panel, he can quickly raise it to the limit allowed by the world, and then recklessly reap the rewards. The experience point penalty is also less than in the Main World.

There's no need to worry about overstepping boundaries and provoking some powerful and incredible being, which would instantly destroy you.

"In this low-magic world... fourth rank is the limit! I am one of the strongest people in this world!"

Sulu pondered for a moment, "I wonder what kind of changes will occur in a world without magic?"
