Chapter Summaries

E'luo was swallowed by Gui'aoer and found himself trapped in a Painting World, where he fought the corrupted Black Dragon Midir in the Abyss. The world shattered before their battle was resolved, leaving E'luo in a forest facing another powerful dragon.

• Abei and the other young dragons charged to rescue E'luo, then gave up and prayed when they realized they could not move or hurt Gui'aoer.
• Gong Qiying discussed what monster to use against E'luo with Red Fang, who worried that choosing Valstrax would be too kind to the old dragon.
• E'luo escaped the first space inside Gui'aoer and emerged in a dark abyss filled with black mud.
• Midir appeared and attacked E'luo with Humanity and a destructive white-violet laser, leaving Abyss on his wounded body and hindering his recovery.
• The Painting World shattered, and E'luo reappeared in a forest, where he sensed another powerful dragon named Ouroboros.

E'luo fought Midir, Ouroboros, and the Primal Silver Knight Dragon inside Zane Dungeon while the Abyss, Mad Dragon Virus, and Blood-Devouring Insects weakened him. After collapsing from exhaustion, he returned to the chaotic space and saw images of more dragons, wondering whether they came from Gui'aoer's memories.

• E'luo transformed into his full dragon form and battled Ouroboros, whose attacks and Mad Dragon Virus drove him into a frenzy before the fight ended with the scenery changing.
• E'luo encountered the Primal Silver Knight Dragon and fought it through several forms, but Blood-Devouring Insects and his other afflictions left him too exhausted to continue.
• E'luo briefly lost consciousness and returned to the chaotic space, where images of Midir, Ouroboros, the Silver Knight Dragon, Lance Sacks, Storm Dragon, Nergigante, and Velkhana appeared.
• E'luo guessed that the dragons might come from Gui'aoer's memories.

E'luo concluded that resisting the Mad Dragon Virus and Blood-Devouring Insects might let him turn their harmful effects into greater strength, though he had no proof yet. After Gui'aoer spat him out, he led Abei and the other dragons away from her pursuing minions, intent on returning to fight again.

• E'luo reasoned that overcoming the Mad Dragon Virus and Blood-Devouring Insects might let him use their effects to grow stronger, and wondered whether other dragons could do the same.
• E'luo was expelled from Gui'aoer's mouth and returned to the outside world, where Abei and the others recognized him.
• Abei worried over E'luo's many slowly healing wounds, but E'luo dismissed his concern and used Illusion Magic to hide his injuries.
• Gui'aoer roared and sent dozens of smaller flying dragons after E'luo's group, so E'luo ordered everyone to leave.
• E'luo fled with the other dragons while deciding he would return and defeat Gui'aoer's dragons next time.

After E'luo's battle in Zane Dungeon, Gong Qiying promised Red Fang more entertaining fights, while E'luo recovered, recorded an old family prophecy, and eventually returned to the dungeon. The prophecy described a shapeless giant dragon gnawing on a pitch-black tree, and E'luo's repeated visits soon became routine for nearby adventurers.

• Gong Qiying showed Red Fang footage of E'luo's battle and promised to send more footage when E'luo returned to the dungeon.
• Red Fang asked to see more of Zane Dungeon's dragons, and Gong Qiying changed the subject by asking about Red Fang's past.
• E'luo returned to the dragon nest wounded, sent Abei to find healing Potion, and wrote down details of his battle in his diary.
• E'luo's diary recalled his mother's story about an exiled ancestor whose prophecy described a giant dragon gnawing on a pitch-black tree.
• After several days of recovery, E'luo returned to Zane Dungeon, and nearby adventurers gradually grew used to seeing him come and go.

E'luo tested whether dragons could grow stronger by deliberately enduring abnormal forces inside Gui'aoer, using Abei to test the method against a Silver Knight Dragon. Convinced the approach worked despite its lethal risks, he called a secret meeting of Bipedal Dragon elites, and the population began flocking to Zane Dungeon.

• E'luo carried Abei through Zane Dungeon to Gui'aoer, where they entered the chaotic space inside her and encountered a Silver Knight Dragon surrounded by Blood-Devouring Insects.
• E'luo and Abei let the insects infest them so they could resist the resulting frenzy, then E'luo sent Abei to fight the Silver Knight Dragon as training.
• Abei grew more powerful during the fight but was badly injured and left near death after the insects drained his vital essence.
• E'luo concluded that Abnormality Overcoming could strengthen dragons, though weaker dragons risked dying, and believed revival would erase the harmful effects.
• E'luo fought the Silver Knight Dragon himself, then summoned the Bipedal Dragon elites to a secret meeting that led the population to take a new interest in Zane Dungeon.

The Warrior Country resumed preparations for the War Festival as Zane Dungeon’s influence spread through rumors, Dragon Communion, and other popular events.

Lu Lu Wo and Fudolin fought a Blood Noble whose blood attacks caused severe bleeding and whose movements let him ambush them from pools of blood. After they burned the blood from a cave and drove him away, they found a summon sign inviting them to invade White Mask Varre.

• Fudolin touched a Miquella's Water Lily by the road, and it vanished as a Bewitching Branch pierced her hand.

Fudolin, drawn toward Mohg by an apparent bewitchment, led the Skyrim Strategy Team through a Fog Gate into the Blood Dynasty’s arena, where Mohg emerged from a blood pool beside the cocoon containing Miquella. Mohg greeted the adventurers and proved powerful enough to meet Fudolin’s attack, then unleashed a blood-red tide as she charged again.

• Fudolin ignored Lu Lu Wo and the others and approached the giant cocoon, while the Skyrim Strategy Team caught up and followed her through the Fog Gate.

• Mohg counted to three as a crimson halo marked everyone, then raised the Mohgwyn Sacred Spear with both hands.

• Red rings appeared around the adventurers, and Mohg began counting down while raising his Sacred Spear.
• Lu Lu Wo, Ta Mi, Bei Er Tuo, Mi La, and Fudolin attacked Mohg to interrupt him, but he reached zero and unleashed a blood rain that made their blood burst from their bodies.
• The group drank their Crimson Flasks, but Mohg said zero again and caused another wave of blood explosions, sending Lu Lu Wo and Mi La back to the Site of Grace.
• Ta Mi and the others drank their remaining healing liquid, then pleaded with Mohg to stop as he repeated his attack.
• Three more clouds of blood mist exploded inside the Blood Monarch’s palace.

Fudolin fought Mohg after her companions were eliminated, but his repeated blood attacks overwhelmed her and she returned to the Skyrim Strategy Team exhausted and despondent. As the team reviewed their discoveries and planned to investigate a chest linked to the White Mask's key, E'luo asked about a letter describing supreme Dragon Communion.

• E'luo approached the team and asked Lu Lu Wo what she meant by supreme Dragon Communion.
