Total Annihilation, the Deaths of Pride and Sloth, and Talent Crystals (5,200) (Continued)

The dark metal sphere shot out again, drawing several deadly arcs in the darkness as it hurtled towards the red-haired man.

"Pfft! Pfft pfft!"

Three dull thuds of flesh echoed, and Conrad's body stiffened abruptly, but he did not die immediately.

I have to say, this guy's physical body is really strong.

Shen Xing's dark metal sphere could easily blast apart a typical Tier Three lord, but it only caused a few dents in his body.

It's almost as strong as my physical body when I activate my Ruin Black Dragon form.

No problem, if one round of bombardment doesn't kill it, we'll bring in a second round.

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"

The dark metal sphere shot out again, hurtling towards the same spot with the speed of a meteor!

"Pfft! Bang!"

This time, the metal sphere successfully blasted his head, completely extinguishing Conrad's life force.

Meanwhile, Xu Jiayi's Arrows pierced Asada Hitomi's heart and brain.

This top lord of Cherry Blossom Nation, an A-rank assassin of the Razor Association, is also completely dead.

"Whoosh..."

The darkness receded like the tide, revealing a devastated hall and scattered limbs and broken bodies.

Thus, all of the more than one hundred top lords of the three major nations were wiped out.

In the corner to the side, several figures slowly emerged from the passageway.

They stared at the gruesome scene, then at the young man in the wheelchair, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

To everyone's surprise, he actually did it, and it was even simpler than they had imagined.

The three major powers didn't even put up any effective resistance before being completely annihilated.

This is absolutely outrageous!

"Leina, burn all these corpses." Shen Xing's voice was as calm as ever.

After all, these guys are top lords from various countries, and they might have some means of protecting themselves.

Moreover, when these lords die in reality, they spew out large amounts of mist, forming a gray fog zone.

Therefore, to avoid any accidents, it's essential to clean it thoroughly.

"Yes, sir!"

The red-haired woman beside her responded and immediately raised her staff, unleashing a vast amount of fire elemental power.

On the ground, a large number of corpses were ignited by flames and turned to ashes in a short time.

In an instant, the entire hall was filled with the aroma of roasted meat.

Just as the flames were about to reach one of the headless corpses, it seemed as if some kind of sealed power was triggered.

"Boom!"

A column of scorching magma suddenly erupted from the body of the already dead Conrad.

Immediately afterwards, a red claw tore the skin off his back.

Then came a pair of enormous red wings, as well as a huge dragon head and body.

In the blink of an eye, a giant dragon covered in fiery red scales and bathed in lava suddenly emerged from his body.

"Sing!"

The magma dragon roared to the sky, its resounding cry shaking the dome of the great hall.

A brief moment of astonishment flashed across everyone's faces upon seeing this.

But he quickly came to his senses.

Clearly, this is another form of Conrad, or rather, this is his true form.

That guy was faking his death!

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the three dark metal spheres shot out the instant the magma dragon appeared.

Xu Jiayi, Yu Feifei, and Zhou Zheng, who were standing nearby, also launched their attacks.

However, the magma dragon seemed to know it was no match for so many people and didn't fight them at all.

"Whoosh—"

With its giant wings spread, it turned around and flew rapidly into the passage behind it.

The speed that burst forth in an instant also reached the Master Rank.

"Catch him, Onyxia."

Shen Xing immediately gave the order, a hint of longing appearing in his eyes.

Because he felt a strong attraction emanating from this magma dragon.

This attraction is peculiar, like sensing a shared aura.

Based on the characteristics of this giant dragon, Shen Xing quickly realized what was going on.

This guy likely possesses the primordial power of a Five Chromatic Dragons within him!

If you can devour it, your hidden class [Dragon Lord] will undergo another Metamorphosis, and your strength will increase dramatically!

At the same time, the instant Shen Xing gave the order, a dark figure rushed out.

Its speed was as fast as lightning, and it carried boundless shadows, like a flowing mass of darkness.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the tunnel through which the magma dragon had escaped.

"Boom... boom boom..."

A series of tremors could be heard in the distance, as if some enormous creature was rampaging inside.

The group remained where they were, waiting silently. Even at their speed, they couldn't keep up with these two dragons, whose strength had reached the Tier Four.

About half a minute later.

The boundless darkness retreated from the passage and quickly flowed to Shen Xing's side.

She transformed into a tall, slender woman with eerily beautiful blue eyes.

Onyxia knelt on one knee, her face full of apology. "Dragon Lord, I'm so sorry!"

"He burned his bloodline essence, and his speed was too fast. I couldn't catch up, and he escaped through the teleportation array!"

Shen Xing was stunned. He hadn't expected that even with the Dragon Girl's Tier Four Overlord Rank combat power, she still hadn't caught up with that guy.

This Conrad is even harder to kill than I imagined.

"It's alright," Shen Xing waved his hand and said, "You can escape once, but you can't escape a second time."

"He won't have any chance next time we meet."

Shen Xing wasn't just boasting; he genuinely had the ability and confidence to back it up.

At his rate of development, he will soon possess Master Rank combat power.

In addition, they gained a huge amount of resources in the maze this time.

After returning and processing this information, the territory's strength will increase dramatically.

At that time, as long as no Grandmaster Rank expert appears, he will be invincible.

As for Conrad...

Hmph, this brat actually stole my opportunity! He must not be allowed to live!

He paused, then looked at the dragon girl before him. "The effects of this potion will soon wear off. You will suffer for a long time afterward, so go back and rest properly."

Onyxia suppressed her shame and nodded solemnly, "Yes, Dragon Lord!"

As she finished speaking, her body gradually became ethereal, eventually dissipating into a wisp of mist.

Next, Shen Xing continued to have Leina burn the corpses, and also materialized Hellscream, ready to act at any moment.

However, Conrad's case is ultimately an isolated incident.

No matter how strong other lords are, they would have no chance of surviving such severe injuries.

"Call..."

Red flames gradually spread throughout the entire hall.

Soon, the corpses on the ground were burned to ashes.

Lachlan, Asada Hitomi, and several other well-known top lords were also reduced to ashes.

Unfortunately, defeating these lords in the real world doesn't yield much reward; they won't drop any items from your inventory.

Otherwise, given their resources, they might have acquired even more treasures.

"It's nothing, I've made enough money tonight anyway."

Shen Xing quickly calmed down.

At this moment, Qin Lang seemed to have noticed something and pointed to the ashes on the ground, asking, "Hey? Look at the ground, what's that?"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and saw that in the center of each of the two piles of ashes, there was a glittering object.

"What the heck?" Shen Xing was stunned for a moment. "It even produced relics after being burned?"

The other team members also looked puzzled.

Shen Xing pushed his wheelchair over, picked up the two pigeon-egg-sized crystals, and examined them in his hands for a moment.

The crystal on the left is sea blue, and you can faintly feel the powerful aura emanating from it, as if holding it would make you the strongest person in the world.

The crystal on the right is dark yellow, emitting a dull halo that makes one feel somewhat drowsy.

"These two stones appear to have been burned from Lachlan and the lord beside him."

Shen Xing sensed the energy contained within and murmured, "I just don't know what this thing is good for."

At this moment, Zhou Zheng stepped forward and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be Talent Crystal."

"Captain Zhou, what are Talent Crystal?" Qin Lang asked curiously.

Zhou Zheng thought for a moment and replied, "Didn't the system recently release Talent Rankings? All the S-level talents in the world were listed on it."

"Although the identities of those who possess these talents are currently unknown, this does not prevent high-level officials from various countries from conducting in-depth research on them."

"During their research, they discovered that these lords with S-rank or higher talents would drop a special crystal upon death."

"If the crystal is given to another lord to absorb, that lord will become the new holder of an S-rank talent."

When he finished speaking, everyone was immediately shocked and stared in disbelief at the crystal in Shen Xing's hand.

So, these are two of the dozens of S-level talents recorded on the list!
