Chapter 326: Your ritual is to summon a group of adventurers to chop you down
“Rumble...”
The door of the fortress was carefully pushed open by Brian. The whole process was more complicated than he imagined. Be smooth.
There are no traps arranged in advance, no guards waiting for a long time, and there is not even a detection method similar to the 'secret eye'.
If Brian had not known in advance that there was an ancient black dragon hidden here, I am afraid that even he would have believed it and thought that this was an empty fortress.
Not a single sound appeared in this silent and deserted fortress hall. There were only two candlesticks with cold white flames dancing around. The firelight emitted spread desolately to the surroundings.
What impressed Brian and Caradna the most was the aura of negative energy flowing in the air, which was strong enough to suffocate ordinary people.
As the two of them walked forward slowly, Brian even felt that the rich negative energy had begun to wet his clothes bit by bit, making the bone-chilling chill gradually Penetrate every inch of your skin.
——"Protect from evil!"
Brian waved his hand, and two nearly invisible magic barriers slowly emerged, surrounding him and Caradna respectively, and followed them Walk cautiously and move slowly.
As the barrier emerged, the strong negative energy aura was immediately isolated, and the sense of depression it caused disappeared in an instant.
“As a legendary spell caster, I didn’t expect that you didn’t even master the simple “protection from evil”. "Brian looked at the sorceress beside him through telepathy, and joked with a smile.
"I am a warlock, not a wizard. "Caradna snorted, "Besides, all my spells were amplified by the Chaos Wand when they were released, so naturally they are not suitable for buffing spells. "
Brian nodded slightly without refuting.
The two started with Guangze, and until now, he has a sufficient understanding of the sorceress.
All the attack magic released by the opponent was amplified by the Chaos Wand she carried and turned into chaos attribute spells.
For example, the attack spell "Chaos Sphere" she often uses is actually "Fireball" in a strict sense. After being strengthened by Chaos energy, it not only has the damage of Fireball, but also Additional amplification of the Corrosive and Twisting Void properties of Chaos Energy.
If Brian activates the Chaos Scholar's professional characteristic "Chaos Surge" when releasing a spell, and successfully randomly obtains the characteristics of increasing damage by 50% and increasing damage by 100%, then the spell he releases will also be Additional Chaos damage.
So, Brian speculated that one of the attributes of Karadna's Chaos Wand is the damage of chaos attribute by converting spells.
The two of them walked from the hall to the spacious and silent corridor, and walked towards the depths of the fortress.
As the negative energy in the air gradually became thicker, Brian had cast protective spells for Caradna three times in a row.
Just by looking at the richness of the negative energy in the air, he realized that the enemy they faced next was definitely very difficult.
Thinking of this, Brian secretly told Karadna to keep her vigilant, and immediately called up the system bar to quickly increase the level before arriving at the black dragon's lair.
In their player group, when the level of one of their professions is raised to level 20 or above, starting from level 23, each time the level is raised to an odd number similar to 23, 25, or 27, a random number will appear. Receive a legendary boon.
Rows of data emerged in his retina:
"Raise the level of the Grand Arcanist!"
"Consume 1,500,000 experience points."
"Raise the level of the Grand Arcanist to level 3."
"Acquire 78 arcane energy. Click."
"Get a random legendary favor"
.........
Seeing that he had received a legendary favor just as he imagined, Brian was secretly happy and immediately started to check it out.
Although legendary favors are obtained randomly, this so-called randomness actually means selecting one of the three favors.
Brian opened the legendary favor, and the three legendary favors to choose from immediately appeared in his sight.
They are: the favor of spell control, the favor of holy flame soul and the favor of perfect health.
The boon of spell control: Those with this boon can select a spell below the fourth level from the spell list they have mastered. From then on, you can cast the spell at will without any consumption.
The Boon of the Holy Flame Soul: Those with this boon will be immune to all death spells, magical death effects, energy absorption and any negative energy effects of the necromancy school, such as: the instant death effect of the finger of death, freezing cold Touch's attribute-reducing effect and Absorb's negative level effect.
The Boon of Perfect Body: Those who master this boon will be immune to all poisons and diseases, and will automatically receive a +5 enhancement value when making a system saving throw. If they are subject to any check that requires a system saving throw, they will also You will get an additional chance to directly pass the saving throw. Even if you fail the first saving throw, you will not be affected by any spell effects.
…………
The so-called legendary favor refers to a manifestation of the gradual control of the power of the multiverse when a professional's strength reaches the legendary realm.
To put it simply, it is a favor given to legendary professionals by the will of the world.
Although for their player group, the way to obtain the legendary favor is randomly selected, but even if it is randomly selected, it will appear in the random list that can be selected.
Under normal circumstances, a legendary warrior cannot have the benefit of spell control, and a legendary spellcaster cannot have the benefit of extraordinary strength.
Just like Brian's three legendary boons to choose from, the boon of Spell Control is definitely due to him being a spellcaster, while the boon of Holy Flame Soul is due to the curse fire and spell he possesses. Blessings from Tianjie Mountain.
As for the blessing of a perfect body, Brian guessed that it was probably related to his durability expertise, natural blessings, and having taken the water of life.
Brian began to carefully choose his own legendary favor.
If possible, he really wanted to get all three favors, but this is obviously impossible.
In their player group, no legendary favor is redundant. Every time a favor is obtained, it means that one's own strength has been significantly improved.
If there is any favor that is useless, there is only one, which is the immortal favor.
The function of this legendary favor is to stop aging, become immune to any effects that would cause one to age, and will not die due to aging or exhaustion of lifespan.
This blessing is equivalent to eternal youth and unlimited lifespan. In the game world, it is naturally a useless skill, but in the real world, it is comparable to a magical skill for everyone.
If Brian were to be randomly chosen, he would choose without hesitation.
After thinking about it, Brian directly chose the second Favor of the Holy Flame Soul.
Although the first favor seems to be very useful to him as a spell caster, this favor can only allow him to release unlimited three-ring spells at most. With his enhanced version of Arcane Fire, With the arcane energy contained, there are almost no battles that can allow him to exhaust his mana, so this favor is useless to him, not even as good as the third favor of perfect physique.
Although the blessing of perfect physique has a very significant improvement effect for Brian as a spell caster, after considering what kind of opponents he will face in the next period of time, , he still believes that the blessing of the Holy Flame Soul is the most helpful to him. It can make him immune to any instant death spells of the necromancy school, as well as various spell effects that are detrimental to him.
Having this blessing is virtually equivalent to being immune to both the seventh-level finger of death and the ninth-level energy-absorbing spell. The effect is still very good.
Besides, the enemy he faced next was an ancient black dragon who was proficient in death spells.
With the selection of Favor, Brian suddenly felt as if his soul was burning fiercely in a hot flame, and then completely swallowed him up, cleansed him, exercised him, and finally turned into a warm stream of heat. , flooding through his body.
This kind of comfortable energy made him feel as if he was soaking in a hot spring anytime and anywhere. Even the strong negative energy breath around him was invisibly far away from him, or was automatically controlled by his breath. disperse.
Caradna on the side instantly noticed something strange about Brian, tilted her head, and said curiously, "What's going on? Why do I feel that the closer I get to you, the negative energy around me becomes weaker and weaker?" .”
"Then come closer." With his sudden increase in strength, Brian replied casually, not wanting to spend all his time lying and explaining.
Next, the two of them came to a huge study room where the black dragon performed the dark ritual without any obstruction.
This dark study room is illuminated by a permeating cold green light, and there are many skulls with emerald flames burning around them hanging on the walls.
Despir, the ancient black dragon, was crawling on the magic circle in the center of the room, his back facing them, with dark purple magic lines flashing on his skin.
On his left and right sides, there are rows of cages with magic-forbidden runes on them. Each cage contains a ragged spellcaster.
From the clothes of the spellcasters, Brian could tell that they came from all over the world, including wizards from the Arcane Brotherhood, sky mages from the Zhentarim, bald men from the Red Robe Wizards, as well as mies from the Knights of the Secret Star. Priests of Terra, the mage guards of Silvermoon and the war mages of Cormyr, and even the Leatherman Witch and the 'dog' she brought with her... the Leatherman Berserker.
They huddled up helplessly, watching helplessly as Brian and the two arrived. Their empty and desperate eyes seemed to be pleading for something, but they could not tell whether they were hoping for freedom or death...< br>
The culprit causing all of this is a black vortex with a diameter of about 5 meters above the head of the black dragon that is constantly rotating.
Wisps of blue-white energy are flashing with the magic circle, and are being extracted from the bodies of the spellcasters imprisoned in the cage at all times.
The moment the two stepped into the room, the black dragon Despier had obviously noticed their arrival.
He swung his tail slowly and turned around calmly.
Like other black dragons, his deep-set eye sockets and conspicuous open nostrils make his head look like a skull.
The only difference is that the curved horns are a terrifying bone white near the roots, and the closer they are to the ends, the darker they appear, as if they are surrounded by shadows until they are surrounded by deep mist-like light. Shrouded in purple energy.
"You are finally here." The black dragon lay on the ground, looked up at Brian and the two, and said slowly in a voice that was like an echo from a cold and damp cave: "I admit that I I underestimated you, but the game ends here, and you will see your fate soon."
Brian did not reply. He knew that villains die from talking too much, so he chatted with Black Dragon. While he was chattering away, he and Caradna were secretly preparing magic.
The black dragon seemed to be aware of their actions, but he didn't care at all. He still held his dragon's head high and looked like he was sure of victory.
"I am about to create a hole in the magic network that is big enough to cover the entire swamp. By then, the magic you are so proud of will become useless." With the voice of the black dragon Despiel Echoing in the spacious study room, the dark purple magic patterns on his scales gradually became dazzling, "But you went too far and were able to track the shadow plane, which almost hindered my wish."
< br> He stretched out his paw and pointed at the top of his head, looking at the vortex in the air with a pious expression, "So, I lured you here, the place I chose for the decisive battle. Before I was born, I was chosen by the Lost Lady. , she herself wants me to be here. This is my life’s career and the meaning of my coming to this world. Do you still have hope when facing the Goddess Chosen?”
“ Although you interrupted the sacrificial ceremony of the Corrosive Demonic Network, it doesn't matter anymore, because you two will be the final sacrifice for the success of my ceremony."
The black dragon stretched its limbs and stood up from the ground. , slowly opened the wide dragon wings, and hidden in the purple pupils deep in the eye sockets was an overflowing excitement and excitement.
Brian subconsciously felt that the opponent was already confident of victory and would open the champagne in the first half.
“Let’s fight!”
Excited roars sounded, and the rows of spellcasters on both sides of the room screamed in despair almost at the same time.
Brian was shocked to find that the bodies of these prisoners dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only a shriveled corpse.
What is even more shocking is that although there are frightening cracks on their faces, they still have a smile that looks like relief...
And on the other hand.
The moment these casters died, the blue and white energy that burst out was all injected into the black vortex suspended above the black dragon's head, making Brian clearly feel that its size had expanded by a full circle.
This made him realize that what Black Dragon said was true.
If the two of them are really killed by the black dragon, then the powerful bursts of magical energy may really turn into the straw that breaks the camel's back and completely tear apart the magic network. Big hole.
No wonder the black dragon didn’t choose to take action from the time he and Caradna killed the giant red-warm baby, broke into this place, and even destroyed the sacrificial ceremony below. It turned out that he was patiently waiting for their arrival here. .
"Rumble!"
In an instant, the entire fortress began to shake violently, emitting a terrifying sound like the sky falling and the earth collapsing.
——"Nine-ring spell: Meteor Explosion!"
Brian stood calmly on the spot, ignoring the earthquake-like interference, raised the staff in his hand, and pointed it at the dragon. Wing, the ancient black dragon is preparing to take off into the sky.
A bone-chilling chill filled the air. As the arcane energy around Brian surged crazily, four meteors about one meter in diameter, braving the cold air, fell from the sky and hit the target accurately. On the body of the black dragon that just happened to fly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
As the four huge ice balls burst suddenly, the black dragon let out a pain and was hit hard on the ground, forming thick layers of ice. of frost.
At the same time, the spell that Karadna had been secretly saving for a long time was completed.
As her slender fingers danced lightly in front of her, the dark purple energy ball accurately hit the black dragon that was frozen in place.
——“Any door!”
Feeling that the fortress was about to be reduced to ruins, Brian immediately opened the portal, stepped into it with Karadna, and disappeared.
"Boom!"
In the silent and oppressive dark void of the shadow plane, a violent roar suddenly came, and terrible energy rose from the ground, like a huge mushroom cloud erupting in the fortress. It made the entire dark canyon seem to be trembling slightly.
"Roar!..."
The terrifying roar of the dragon shook the surrounding areas, echoing the roar of the explosion, and was followed by the sound of rapidly flapping wings.
"Two little bugs, you can't escape, follow me and accept the grace of the Lost Lady!"
The ancient black dragon rushed out of the ruins, its huge and oppressive dragon body hovering in the sky, surrounded by mystery all over its body purple 'Rune' text.
Although the dragon's roar carries with it the power of the dragon that the true dragon clan is proud of, as a legendary spellcaster, Brian knew in advance who his opponent would be, so he naturally made preparations for it. Longwei responded perfectly.
Even the power of the ancient dragon has no effect in front of the two of them.
“——!!”
Immediately afterwards, the dragon's roar sounded again. The huge ancient black dragon raised its head high, and its wings that could cover the world spread out to both sides. With this dragon's roar, the world in front of him suddenly changed dramatically.
The constantly rotating black vortex rose from the ruins broken by the dragon, and the deep purple energy spilled down from it, shining on the land in front of you.
Feeling the envelope of energy, the entire dark canyon was suddenly filled with a breath of negative energy that was chilling to the bone.
"Did you see that, although the strength of this black dragon has reached a high level legend." Brian stared at the vortex suspended in the air, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then communicated with Caradna in rapid language. , "But the ritual of tearing the magic web has not been completed yet. If he wants the ritual to be successful, he must be distracted to maintain the vortex energy. This is our chance to kill him."
Caradna nodded slightly , the slightly trembling little hand unconsciously stretched towards the Chaos Wand.
——"Mordenkainen's Disintegration Technique!"
While the black dragon Despiel appeared, Brian's spell was also ready, and powerful destructive energy burst out, shrouding the giant dragon's huge body. .
"That's it? You still want to shake my defense."
The black dragon glanced at Brian with disdain, and the mysterious words surrounding it suddenly burst into a dazzling purple light, easily It blocks the cracking energy of the spell.
The black dragon shook his head and opened his big mouth full of sharp teeth. He took a deep breath quickly and lightly, and then, a suffocating negative energy spit quickly swept towards Brian and Kara. Dana's body.
With a stern look on his face, Brian held up a defensive force field on the spot and actively stood in front of Caradna to resist the dragon's breath, which was full of corrosion and death power.
The dragon's breath surged past Brian and the two men surrounding the defensive force field with overwhelming force. The two of them were like water-dividing reefs in the rapids. The moment the dragon's breath floated over, they immediately turned into two The torrent spread out left and right.
What is frightening is that when the breath of darkness sweeps across the surrounding canyons and the ground, they all corrupt at an alarming speed into pieces of land shrouded in eternal shadow.
"I will be the one to resist here, so hurry up and prepare." Brian frantically injected arcane energy into his defense field to resist the rushing dragon's breath, and quickly said to Karadna beside him. .
"Be careful, I may need a little time."
The sorceress nodded solemnly, and immediately took out the chaos wand wrapped in linen behind her back. Then she swayed and disappeared from the battle field. She hid in the shadow of the canyon and followed Brian's instructions, holding her breath and concentrating. Get ready.
“Boom!!!”
At the moment when the two were talking, the dragon turned into a shadow that covered the sky and suddenly appeared in front of Brian, raising its dark and sharp claws , colliding with his shield, making a harsh sound like sharp metal rubbing against bulletproof glass.
"I'm dumbfounded. Your little lover actually ran away on her own. Your human feelings are as worthless as bullshit."
During the attack, the black dragon noticed the disappearance of Kara. Dena did not chase, but mocked Brian in a sarcastic tone: "But don't worry, although your little lover has abandoned you, you alone are enough to help me complete the ritual and accept the lost lady's gift." Sanction it, becoming part of the Shadow Demon Network will be the most glorious choice in your life.”
Brian, who was the first to bear the brunt, did not retreat because of the overwhelming combat power of the black dragon, let alone his silly-sounding words that affected his mood.
On the contrary, his expression condensed slightly, and soon the magic barrier originally used for defense was suddenly swept away by the arcane storm and rolled straight towards the black dragon.
The violent wind sweeping through the night sky swirled past, and the airflow was sharp enough to tear rocks apart. At this moment, it surged forward, and the rushing cursed fire energy spurted out from it.
A moment.
Mixed by the arcane storm in arcane magic, the tornado storm in psychic power, and the whirlpool of curse fire, it is called the strongest attack method by Brian. With the force of thunder, it can destroy the huge body of the black dragon. It rolled high into the sky and hit the cliff hard, making a loud trembling sound. "Ouch!..."
The black dragon roared angrily, jumped up from the collapsed mountain, spread its wings, and dived straight towards Brian.
Brian was about to launch a counterattack when he suddenly discovered that the dragon attacking him turned out to be an illusion.
“Shua!!!”
Immediately afterwards, he felt the alarm coming from the Purple Dragon Seal Ring with alarm.
A strong wind that tore the air came from behind Brian, and was locked by the black dragon's terrifying Qi machine. Almost instinctively, Brian immediately used his agile body and the acceleration characteristics of the legendary boots to spin sideways. , and then he saw a slender, dark tail swinging high from below, barely grazing Brian's defensive force field, drawing a perfect arc in the air, and then flinging it between the mountains and rocks. Shooting everywhere.
After narrowly escaping the dragon's attack, Brian was about to launch a counterattack when he suddenly discovered that the black dragon was as nimble as a cat, melting into the black shadow and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Obviously, he not only has the ability of the real dragon, but also has the power of the Lost Lady. He is especially familiar with how to control shadows.
Brian did not expect that this black dragon would be so difficult to deal with. Seeing the opponent disappear, he immediately dodged and tried to blend into the black shadow to avoid the black dragon's attack.
After all, with the advanced avoidance detection of the Purple Dragon Seal Ring, and the ability of the black dragon, how could it be possible to detect his disappearing figure.
But Brian didn't expect it at all. Just when he was about to step away, he felt his body suddenly sink. The deep purple energy falling from the black vortex suspended in the sky fell on him. It seems that Huawei has a substantial network that restrains all his actions.
The power of the laws of the Shadow Demon Network!
He really didn't expect that this cunning black dragon could use the dark ritual maintained by distraction to imprison his actions.
——"The finger of death!"
"Go to hell, bug, returning to the arms of the Lost Lady will be the most commendable honor in your life!" The black dragon roared excitedly. With a sound, the mysterious words on the scales erupted into a deep purple light. On the dragon claws, which were about the same size as Brian, a terrifying death energy condensed like a whale sucking cow's drink, and then transformed into a half-meter-thick dragon claw. The dark red light beam streaked through the thick darkness of the shadow plane and sprayed straight towards Brian.
"Everything is over, and my mission has been completed." The moment the finger of death flew away, the black dragon looked at the vortex suspended above his head with a pious expression, unable to restrain his excitement, and said excitedly.
On the other side, feeling the terrifying energy contained in the finger of death, Brian did not dare to be careless, let alone rely on his legendary favor to resist.
——"Goodness Keeping Barrier!"
Brian thought, and a shining light instantly appeared around him, and pure and sacred light burst out from his body, blocking the A finger of death gushing out.
“Boom!”
The moment the light beams collided, a storm formed by the intertwining of sacred energy and the power of death, and the air waves set off suddenly lifted Brian's body away and blocked the black dragon's vision.
Brian, who successfully resumed action, was actually frightened into a cold sweat by the attack just now. He quickly swayed and used the flash technique to successfully distance himself from the black dragon.
"How is it possible?" Seeing the safe and sound mortal reappearing in his sight, the black dragon widened his eyes in disbelief and muttered to himself: "Even the anti-death barrier cast by the legendary caster is Why is it useless to him if he can't resist the finger of death?"
Having said that, the black dragon's movements did not stop because of this, and disappeared into the shadows again, preparing to launch a new attack. .
Feeling that his originally heavy body became lighter, Brian was about to prepare a spell when the black dragon's claws once again took a step ahead of him and came to the top of his head.
Staring at the dragon claw in front of him, Brian's expression remained unchanged. The Star Sword with blue and white flames rose in his hand and suddenly flipped upward.
With Brian's action, two more dark purple chaotic energy swept across the sword, and then the invisible, twisted power of chaos shot out towards the black dragon's dragon. Claw stabs away.
Feeling this powerful force and the pain that seemed to burn into the soul, the cunning black dragon hurriedly retracted his claws, but he did not give up the attack because of this, and continued Flapping its wings and hovering in the night sky.
For Brian, this was almost a scene he had never seen before. He did not expect that this black dragon would use such a shameless attack method to suppress his actions.
In the night sky, the giant dragon flaps its wings and roars to attack him. From time to time, he can be seen using his flexible flying ability to open his mouth unexpectedly and spit out negative energy like a giant snake. The spit turned into hurricanes and swept towards Brian.
On the other side, Brian's Star Sword erupted into countless dazzling white blue and white blades, drawing bright tracks in the darkness, and pounced straight towards his target.
The twisted power in the air explodes from time to time, flashing out diffuse negative energy spits that collide with the dazzling blue and white curse fire.
Brian, who appeared behind the dragon through the flash technique, slashed with his sword. The black dragon's huge body was unexpectedly flexible and agile and quickly dodged to the side. The powerful impact hit hard. On the nearby mountain peak, only a thunderous sound was heard. The top of the triangular mountain peak suddenly shattered. Dozens of rocks as big as a house roared and rolled down the hillside, trampling and crushing them all the way. Down.
But Brian did not have the time or leisure to appreciate the destruction caused by the black dragon at the moment. After missing a hit, he immediately retreated, and almost at the same time, a wave of deep purple energy enveloped him. A beam of spitting light ejected from the mouth of the black dragon that raised its head, and then disappeared into the depths of the endless night sky after hitting Brian's afterimage.
But before the light beam disappeared completely, hundreds of arcane missiles roared and hit the huge body of the black dragon, mixed with the sound of explosions, and a series of flashes of light came and went on the huge body covered with a deep purple barrier. The flash made the black dragon's huge body tilt slightly, but soon, the tail with the sound of breaking wind swung through the air, and then hit hard against the protective barrier that Brian had propped up.
"Cunning bug, you succeeded in irritating me!" The angry black dragon looked at the black vortex suspended in mid-air and roared. With his roar echoing in the dark canyon, a dozen people suddenly burst out of the vortex. Dark purple magic circles were lined up behind him.
Immediately afterwards, dazzling and surging dark energy spurted out from it, turning into more than a dozen destructive powers that represented the laws of the Shadow Demon Network, and painted a strong mark on the entire canyon.
In an instant, the strong negative energy rushed over like a raging flood.
Brian looked at the surging dark energy with a solemn expression. He knew that this black dragon had already taken action. Since he could not avoid it, he could only mobilize the strongest defensive means as much as possible to prevent it. To block this attack.
Fortunately, with the blessing of Legendary Favor, it helped him offset all the negative states of negative energy. Otherwise, he would have been devastated by the black dragon's crazy attack.
"Damn!!!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, the black dragon cursed secretly, and then with his angry roar, summoning circles appeared out of thin air, and hundreds of undead creatures and ghosts suddenly appeared from Emerging from the darkness of the shadow plane, a blood-chilling scream erupted.
"siader!"
Then, the hoarse chant of the black dragon sounded, and the mysterious words surrounding it suddenly burst into dazzling purple light, filled with negative energy. The spell passed through the gaps in the undead creature group and shot toward Brian.
Seeing the black dragon in action, Brian's face darkened. He held the staff and pointed forward suddenly, followed by a loud 'boom' sound, and a strong wind blew, forming a barrier that swept the black dragon away. All spells are blocked.
But he only held on for a moment before the barrier shattered, and a wave of negative energy rushed over like a tidal wave in an instant.
A series of spells flashed through.
Brian clearly felt that all the triggering spells of his arcane and psychic powers were being activated crazily and then being shattered, like peeling an onion, peeling it off layer by layer. net.
Just when he realized that his last barrier was about to be broken, dozens of chaos spheres smashed over without warning, turning into a deep purple flame, destroying all the undead creatures summoned by the black dragon. submerged.
Seeing this situation, Brian was secretly relieved and quickly seized this rare opportunity and flashed in front of Caradna.
The golden hair of this warlock lady has been transformed into shiny purple hair. The chaos wand she holds in her hand is surrounded by chaotic energy that makes Brian's heart palpitate.
"Leave it to you, don't open it." Caradna looked very weak at the moment, her face was as pale as a dead person, and even her tone of voice was extremely weak.
"I know." Brian didn't talk nonsense to her. The moment he took the staff, he immediately felt a terrifying energy surging in this heavy weapon.
"Boom!"
In a trance, he seemed to feel that a door had been opened for him in the distant sea of chaos, and he could make crazy use of the energy inside.
This made him immediately realize that the function of this staff was not the "Chaos Surge" in his Chaos Scholar professional characteristics, but the difference was that the characteristics of each surge increased the power of the spell by 100 %.
"Roar——!!"
As if sensing some danger, the black dragon's angry roar sounded again. Along with his roar, the energy released from the black vortex, and the shadows The suffocating and oppressive darkness of the plane suddenly pushed forward at the same time, as if an overwhelming mountain torrent poured forward, sweeping up and rushing forward.
——“Arcane Storm!”
——“Spellfire Vortex!”
——"Tornado Storm!"
Brian stood in front of Caradna, standing in mid-air, raising his Chaos Wand and pointing towards the sweeping energy.
Dark purple chaotic energy emerged out of thin air like waves, blocking him in front of him, and the next moment, they gathered together in layers and suddenly rushed forward.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!"
For a time, the entire dark canyon began to shake, the earth trembled, the air began to tear, making an empty sound, invisible to the naked eye. The collision of power even began to distort the space. The originally empty void began to appear. The fluctuations of power spread out from top to bottom. The aftermath of the battle between the two sides hit the ground heavily in just an instant.
All I saw was that with the explosion of colorful lights, the originally solid earth quickly began to collapse. The soil and rocks were quickly broken and disappeared under the pressure of huge force.
Faced with Chaos pressing forward again, Black Dragon was shocked at the moment, but had no intention of retreating. He opened his eyes wide and stared at Chaos ahead.
Then, he opened his mouth, and with the movement of the black dragon, the purple light bursting out from his scales instantly condensed around him, forming ancient and powerful sacred runes.
At the moment when the rune was formed, the purple light became brighter and brighter. In the eyes of Brian and Caradna, it even felt as if there was a majestic head suspended in the sky at this moment. The majestic purple dragon.
Immediately afterwards, under the distant echo of the black vortex, the raging negative energy burst out again, merging with the remaining negative energy glow before, and once again smashed through the chaos like a heavy hammer. resistance!
Brian stood facing the wind, gritting his teeth.
He continued to use his arcane magic and spiritual energy, and faced the squeeze of negative energy again and again without retreating. The dark purple mist transformed from chaotic energy was torn into pieces, disappeared, and then Appear out of thin air again, continue to move forward, tear into pieces again, disappear, and appear again, as if a person is pulling your body tightly, even if you stab it with a knife, shoot it with a machine gun, blow it up with a grenade, or even bomb it with a nuclear bomb , as long as it is not completely dead, then it will never let you go.
For a time, the world collapsed.
Endless storms of chaos erupted from the void, flooding the world before them.
The dark energy erupted by the black dragon stood like a solid wall, blocking out the storm of chaos.
Like a comet hitting the earth, the heaven and earth were stunned at this moment.
Immediately afterwards, the infinite air waves exploded, forming the purest ripples of destruction.
The solid ground has completely disappeared at this moment, replaced by a huge bottomless ravine. A deep ravine several kilometers wide stretches from one end of the horizon to the other. One side, together with the sky, the earth, space, time, and even all things, were extremely clearly separated at this moment.
Ashes return to dust, soil returns to earth, chaos returns to chaos, order returns to order, black and white can never merge, water and fire can never live in peace, everything is the polarity of everything in the world. It was best reflected at this time.
"How is it possible? How can a mortal have such powerful chaotic energy!?"
Looking at the chaotic energy that was fighting to the death, the black dragon, which was gradually losing its strength, was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Although as long as he mobilizes all the energy in the dark vortex, he can force the opponent back with a crushing force, but this also means that the dark ritual he has prepared for hundreds of years is completely bankrupt.
He is not willing to give in!
"Is this Chaos Energy? But it's not enough! The power of the Lost Lady is infinite, and no power can compete with the Shadow Demon Web of the Lost Lady!!"
With the roar of the black dragon, the mysterious magic patterns around him completely shattered and turned into rolling clouds. Then, dozens of strange-looking shadow creatures emerged from the mist. They screamed and flapped their wings toward Brian's body. It rushed towards him, as if trying to surround him in endless shadows.
I have to admit that the black dragon did not hesitate to smash the mysterious magic pattern given to him by the Lost Lady and summoned a group of powerful shadow creatures. This move was indeed very vicious, but Brian still had a backup plan that he did not use...
The energy burst out by the Chaos Wand reflected an icy chill in his deep purple eyes, followed by a wave of his wand.
——"Legendary Spell: Collapse Singularity!"
An unimaginable energy burst out.
The void where the black dragon was, under the guidance of this terrifying energy, suddenly collapsed and a deep void crack appeared.
This crack seemed to open the plane barrier of the Chaos Sea, pouring out surging chaotic energy like a waterfall, rushing towards the black dragon.
His huge dragon body, in front of the chaotic energy at this moment, is like a small tree swaying in the wind and rain, dancing crazily with the violent energy.
The shadow creatures summoned by him melted instantly like candles.
——"Mordenkainen's Disintegration Technique!"
Brian resisted the backlash brought by the powerful energy, and suddenly pointed the Chaos Wand, a destructive force condensed from chaotic energy. , suddenly shrouded the crumbling black dragon in the sky.
In an instant, accompanied by crackling and crackling sounds, the painfully wailing black dragon was like a fish whose scales had been scraped off ruthlessly by a sharp blade, and became bloody, with blood pouring down like rain.
Karadna, who was watching the battle on the sidelines, looked at this scene and couldn't bear to look at it and closed her eyes.
She did not feel sorry for what happened to the black dragon, but when she saw that all the scales of the ancient black dragon were shattered by the disintegration technique, as an alchemist master, she couldn't help but feel pity.
Just a moment.
The black dragon who was attacked by the legendary spell didn't even know what was happening, because at this moment, the unparalleled dazzling purple light filled his vision, and there was nothing but light.
All he felt was endless pain, a kind of pain that affected both body and soul at the same time, making him almost faint.
The surging power turned into an unbridled torrent, rolling, swallowing everything in sight and his body.
Deep in the heart of the black dragon, for the first time, some kind of fear arose.
At this moment, he felt as if he was on a small boat swept by a violent storm, watching huge waves tens of meters high slowly but surely rushing towards him.
They tumble and connect to form an extremely tall barrier that rises high above the sea. The direction is clear and there is no trace of confusion, and it allows people to easily infer and predict their own ending.
No matter how hard you try, you will eventually fall into the abyss of death.
The light dissipated.
The black dragon, whose scales were stripped off, fell to the ground. Apart from a faint cry of pain, he was too weak to speak.
In front of him, the earth was full of darkness and scorched marks. Not only that, the huge and powerful bombing also made the originally flat ground full of pits and caves. From a distance, Looking everywhere, at first glance it looks like a rippling blue sea...
"This..."
Seeing this scene, the black dragon's face began to become distorted and ferocious for the first time. He had no idea that the other party would hide such a powerful power. Such power was simply not something a mortal could possess!
“Why is this happening?”
The black dragon looked at the black vortex suspended in mid-air unwillingly. As he was seriously injured and dying, without his guidance, the whirlpool was also visible to the naked eye. dissipates at a rate.
Reluctantly, he used up all his strength and let out a final roar, "Why is this happening? I am obviously going to succeed soon, so I have to help the great Miss Lost and let the Shadow Demonic Network completely replace the Demonic Network! "
"What a stupid dragon." Brian walked up to the dragon. Although he was extremely weak at the moment, he couldn't help but laugh. "The most real effect of your dark ritual is this. 'Summon a group of adventurers to kill you', and I am the legendary adventurer."
After saying this, he couldn't help but think of a joke used by their players to make fun of the villain.
To borrow the words of a certain boss: I invented a spell that can destroy the continent of Faerûn. Unfortunately, before the spell was successfully cast, it was destroyed by adventurers.
I invented another spell that can destroy the material world. Unfortunately, before the spell was successfully cast, it was destroyed by adventurers again.
I finally developed a spell that can destroy the entire multiverse. Unfortunately, before the spell was successfully cast, it was destroyed by adventurers.
The final conclusion is: the spell you studied is to summon a group of adventurers to hack you.
"The legendary adventurer..." The black dragon murmured in a low voice. With his distracted eyes, he died completely and fell into the arms of the lost lady.
"Are you okay?" Seeing that the black dragon was completely dead, Brian threw away the chaos wand in his hand that was still devouring his arcane energy, and sat down on the ground, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
"It's nothing serious." Caradna showed a relieved expression, sat next to him, carefully put away the Chaos Wand, stroked her messy hair, showed a smile, and then In a sour tone, he sighed: "I didn't expect that this artifact could burst out with such terrible energy in your hands. Dare the chosen one of the Lost Lady to confront the magic."
Brian laughed, feeling that the other party's words It's a bit exaggerated. After all, this ancient black dragon was carrying a dark ritual and was distracted fighting him. Otherwise, they would have no chance of winning.
"It's okay, I thought you would turn into a toad or a turtle or something due to the uncontrollable violent energy." He joked with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be in human form this time. ”
After saying this, he ignored the glare cast by the sorceress, stood up with some difficulty, looked at the ruins of the collapsed fortress, and began to search for the spoils of victory.
As time passed, just as Brian expected, he finally found a piece of deep purple crystal the size of a ping pong ball, embedded in a round bronze ornament.
This is one of the fragments of the artifact Shadow Stone, the same as the thumb-sized fragment he got at the fake temple in Huailun City.
Although he still doesn't know exactly how to use them, as artifact fragments connected to the Shadow Demon Network, they undoubtedly have considerable research value.
Now that Guangze's dark ritual has been destroyed by him, it means that he must rush to Shadow Valley as soon as possible to repair the magic network in the world of magic network.
If he is lucky enough to meet the incarnation of the mage god Azuth, under the guidance of this god, he may also find an artifact buried in the Valley of Shadows: the Staff of the Archmage.
