Chapter 257

Then, her aura quickly dissipated, and she seemed to fall into a deep sleep.

"Hiss!"

Upon seeing this, Shen Xing gasped as if he had seen a ghost.

He initially merged his soul into the Demon Blade's body because she possessed Tier Three strength, which perfectly met the fusion conditions mentioned by the Black Dragon Lord.

Unexpectedly, after successfully possessing the body, he even managed to take over the other party's lord status!

This means Onyxia is now both a player and his subordinate?

As he was reeling from the shock, the black-haired dragon girl reopened her eyes.

"That's the situation right now," Onyxia said in a deep voice. "My current body is residing in State of Florida, the Golden Eagle Kingdom, in a hidden underground base, where there are many assassins like me."

"But I'm a little worried now, because everything in that world is different from my past life..."

Her voice carried a hint of confusion, and a touch of fear of the unknown.

Shen Xing fell silent again, seemingly processing the information before him.

After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Onyxia. Just live according to your memories, as before."

"If you encounter anything you don't understand, just ask me."

Upon hearing this, Onyxia breathed a slight sigh of relief and looked at him with gratitude, "Thank you, Dragon Lord. I look forward to your guidance in the future!"

Shen Xing paused for a moment, feeling that there was something strange about what he was saying.

"By the way, Dragon Lord!"

Onyxia seemed to remember something and said in a deep voice, "Yesterday, based on my memories, I logged onto some kind of assassin website and saw information about you there."

"An unknown force has placed a 20 billion bounty on you, preparing to take action against you in that world."

"It seems that many top assassins have accepted this mission and are preparing to secretly infiltrate Heavenly Star Nation."

Shen Xing narrowed his eyes instantly.

Someone has put a bounty on him again, but this time it's not open to the general public; it's specifically targeting that group of assassins.

It seems they're preparing a targeted assassination attempt against me.

"Dragon Lord, should I intercept those assassins and then eliminate them?" Onyxia spoke again, her voice even colder.

Shen Xing hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Can you track the movements of these assassins?"

The dragon maiden paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Probably, but their movements are very secretive, and the intelligence isn't always accurate."

Shen Xing's eyes flickered slightly. "In that case, don't make a move. Continue to lie in wait among these assassins and report any developments immediately."

"Don't worry about my safety."

Onyxia's eyes flickered slightly, and she understood what he meant.

"Yes, Dragon Lord!"

Shen Xing sat upright on the giant wolf's back, pondering to himself.

Onyxia's current identity is very special, and if it can be utilized, it can play a huge role.

Shen Xing even planned to focus on nurturing this dragon girl later on, and to provide her with assistance in real life as well.

With her formidable strength, combined with the assassination skills of the Demon Blade, she is virtually invincible compared to assassins of the same rank.

This could even allow them to infiltrate the upper echelons of this group of assassins and gain access to intelligence on all the assassins, and even on the internal affairs of various countries.

After all, an internationally renowned assassin organization like this must possess extremely powerful intelligence capabilities in addition to accepting various assassination missions.

In this way, if anyone tries to take advantage of me in the future, I can find out immediately and prepare in advance.

That's brilliant!

"Very good, now let's use today's 'Life-Sacrifice Evolution' to help her break through to Boss Three-Star!"

Shen Xing was thinking with satisfaction, and was about to open the talent interface when he stopped again.

Because he suddenly thought of something.

Onyxia is now a player, and theoretically, she shouldn't be able to increase her potential through souls.

If Life-Sacrifice Evolution can increase a character's potential, wouldn't that break the rule that players cannot increase their potential?

But her true form is a Shadow Dragon, a native of this world, which makes things a bit complicated...

After thinking for a moment, Shen Xing decided to give it a try.

[Use 'Life-Sacrifice Evolution' to upgrade the territory unit Onyxia's potential to Boss ★★★?]

[This evolution requires sacrificing 500 Agility.]

"Wow, it actually works!"

Shen Xing was startled and found it somewhat unbelievable.

Because this is the same as sacrificing oneself without paying a price, it already constitutes a loophole in the game's rules.

Although he didn't understand the underlying principles, it was still a good thing for him no matter what.

"Wait a moment!"

A terrifying thought suddenly flashed through Shen Xing's mind.

Based on previous experience, when players die in the fog, their physical bodies also die.

At this point, there is a high probability that fog monsters will descend into the real world through their bodies.

Could it be that some monsters, instead of destroying the body, took it for themselves, just like Onyxia?

They live in this body, mingling in modern human society, riding the bus and eating breakfast with you.

They might even climb to high-ranking positions and Control public opinion.

Think about the nostrils!

Of course, this is just Shen Xing's guess.

After all, Onyxia's situation is rather special.

She was first Execute by a wizard, and her soul was refined into the spirit of the ring. Later, the ring changed hands several times before finally ending up in Shen Xing's hands.

Then, through the power of the Black Dragon Lord, it was able to condense its true spirit and be Rebirth, gaining the dual identity of player and unit.

It can be said that it was an accidental result of a series of coincidences.

It certainly won't be so easy for other mist monsters to possess a human body.

Of course, he still needs to remain vigilant.

"Right now, let's focus on maximizing Onyxia's potential."

Shen Xing clicked "OK" directly.

"Buzz!"

A familiar red light descended from the Firmament, enveloping this tall, slender, yet unusually voluptuous, evil body.

Within the light, a strong aura of shadow rose up, and a pair of cold, vertical pupils slightly opened, the Dragon Might's might almost solidify.

After reaching a certain peak, it suddenly erupts!

"Boom!"

[Your territory unit: Onyxia has successfully advanced to Boss ★★★. This breakthrough grants a 15% increase to all attributes and enhances her talent skill effects.]

"Based on previous experience, the highest potential for a Tier Three unit is Boss Three-Star."

"Only by reaching the maximum level of Tier Three can it Metamorphosis into Overlord One-Star."

"Onyxia is currently level 24. She only needs to level up 5 more times to acquire my first Overlord Rank unit, and it will be a dragon."

Shen Xing analyzed in a low voice, a sense of anticipation rising in his heart.

At this moment, Onyxia, having broken through to the next level, slowly stepped out amidst the red light, her form seemingly undergoing a slight change.

The black scales on his face faded, revealing more fair skin, and his features became even more eerie.

There were faint bulges on both sides of his forehead, as if something was about to grow out.

"You broke through without even using your soul..." Onyxia felt the power within her body and asked in bewilderment, "Dragon Lord, is this your ability?"

Shen Xing nodded. "Yes."

"Incredible!"

Onyxia's pupils dilated. "Even the Five-Colored Dragon Lords couldn't do something like this, yet you possess such a God-Gifted ability!"

Shen Xing smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "You're already shocked by just breaking through to the level of a Boss."

If you were to break through to the Overlord, or even above Overlord, wouldn't you be utterly awestruck?

"Onyxia, besides advancing your potential, I have something else for you."

He opened his right hand, and a drop of jet-black liquid, as clear as crystal, appeared in his palm.

The moment it appeared, the dark aura around the dragon girl surged, and even her blood began to rush.

"This is... this is the essence blood of the Black Dragon Lord!" Onyxia recognized the drop of blood, her voice trembling.

"Yes," Shen Xing nodded, "Currently, you are the only dragon in our territory, and this drop of blood is most suitable for you."

Onyxia looked at his outstretched hand but didn't take it, a hint of hesitation on her alluring face. "Dragon Lord, isn't this too precious?"

"The essence blood of the Black Dragon Lord contains His powerful primal energy in every drop. Only those Black Dragons who have made Excellent contributions to the Dragon Clan are qualified to receive this reward."

"Among the Black Dragon clan, my talent isn't considered particularly outstanding..."

Shen Xing was slightly taken aback, not expecting that this drop of essence blood was so important to the Black Dragon Clan.

He waved his hand. "No need to refuse. As I said before, in this territory, as long as you make contributions, I will reward you accordingly."

"Take it. I also hope you become stronger so you can serve me better."

The black-haired dragon maiden remained silent for a moment, then nodded emphatically. "Thank you, Dragon Lord, I will repay you with my life!"

She extended a hand with fair skin, but with black, dragon-scale-like nails on the back, and gently accepted the drop of blood.

"Call..."

After taking a deep breath, the essence and blood slowly seeped into the body through the palm.

For the first few seconds, everything was calm.

The next moment, Onyxia's eerie face was instantly filled with pain.

Under Shen Xing's gaze, it was clear that the blood vessels under his skin began to throb violently, as if a huge amount of energy was surging within them.

Patches of black scales appear on the body's surface like a tide, then quickly recede, only to be replaced by even darker scales.

"Pfft! Pfft!"
