Volume 1 Prelude to the Storm Chapter 2 Lost Memory
Iribus, the bone dragon, gathered his bone wings and lay on the top of the Soul Bell Tower, the tallest building in the Undercity, looking up at the bleak sky of the world of death, quietly listening to the ringing of the "Soul Bell" again.
Whenever it wakes up from its slumber, when the "soul bell" rings every day, it likes to lie on the roof of the "soul bell tower" alone, listening to the bell of the "soul bell", year after year, day after day, never stop .......
Why does that low, mournful bell sound so sad? You know, the undead are emotionless, but why do they feel sad, and every time that grief comes up, it resonates with the soul fire that is rooted in the depths of its marrow.
It was an indescribable feeling that I couldn't give up.
"What did the red dragon mean by what it said to me that day?" After the bell rang, Iribus began to think about what had happened a few days earlier. It seems that it has been in the dead world for less than a hundred years. A hundred years is a drop in the ocean compared to the long years that the eternally existing world of death has gone through, and it is not worth mentioning at all, and since he has only been an undead creature for a short time, Iribus's mind is not yet fully mature. It couldn't understand what the red dragon said that day. And the undead creatures who came to the world of death cannot remember the past events they have experienced.
"What an inexplicable fellow!" Iribus said to the red dragon.
A fist-sized, star-bright white ball of light suddenly flew out of the throne hall in the Undercity, and flew quickly in the direction of the "Soul Bell Tower". When the ball of light flew up to Iribus, perched on the roof of the "Soul Bell Tower", it stopped.
Iribus looked at the white ball of light that was silently confronting it in front of him, his eyes full of doubt, what was this? It stretched out its claws, ready to shoot away the thing in front of it, which was only a small "point of light" compared to its massive dragon remains.
The "point of light" suddenly moved, sinking into the huge dragon skull of Iribus.
As if dripping a drop of ice water into the boiling oil, the sea of consciousness in the depths of Iribus's soul suddenly exploded, and in addition to a painful feeling of tearing the soul in its sea of consciousness, countless images of people and objects, light and scenery came one after another, surging into its sea of consciousness.
Iribus raised his head to the sky and let out a silent, painful roar.
The roar of the bone dragon radiated from the ghost city, spreading far and wide. Feeling the endless dragon power entrained in the roar, countless low-level skeletons and zombies wandering around in the world of death instinctively became frightened, and fell to the ground with their heads in their hands, trembling, not daring to move.
After the dragon's roar, Iribus regained his composure. The ghost fire in its eye sockets continued to burn, and scenes of memories of the past surfaced in its sea of consciousness.......
Above the vast blue sky, two silver-white frost dragons were fighting hard. Sometimes they pounced and entangled, each leaving traces of their claws and teeth on each other, and sometimes they were far apart, facing each other in the air, spitting out majestic ice dragon breath that swept across the sky and roared towards each other.
Ice dragons' breaths collided in the air, exploding in the air, and countless snowflakes and ice cubes fell from the sky one after another, and the sky and the earth were covered with wind and snow.
After a long and arduous struggle, one of the frost dragons finally lost its strength, and fell from mid-air with a wail, falling heavily to the ground, struggling for a long time and unable to get up.
"Ah, Macherina, I have tried, and I will dedicate this victory to you, the goddess of my heart. After the victorious young Frost Dragon circled excitedly in the air, a swoop landed in the midst of a dozen or so Frost Dragons watching the battle, shouting at one of the most beautiful young female Frost Dragons.
"If you win, you win, who wants you to give me what victory?" Maiserina's cheeks were stained with two flushes at the faintly smiling gazes cast by the dragons beside her.
"Hehe, Iribus, you see, you've made Maiserina shy. ”
"Aha, Maiserina is still a little girl, and her face is tender, and when Iribus marries her, Maiserina will not be shy. ”
"Iribus and Maiserina grew up together, a talented man and a woman, what a match made in heaven!"
"Hehe, Iribus, although you and Maiserina are ordered to be "baby kisses", but Maiserina is so beautiful, it will definitely attract a lot of wild bees and butterflies, you have to be careful, be careful of the fertilizer water flowing into the fields of outsiders. It is said that Terangra Theresa, the dragon of the Red Dragons, who is known for his brutality and unreasonableness, has openly declared that he wants to pursue Maiserina, and he has also promised that if anyone dares to be a stumbling block in his pursuit of Maiserina, it will beat that person to quit automatically. ”
"It dare!" Iribus pouted in disdain.
Just as the Frost Dragons were chattering with the two young couples to open the meat, the aged Frost Dragon King officially announced the outcome and significance of this battle.
"Iribus has defeated Katrak, so from today onwards, the prince of the throne of the Frost Dragons will be Iribus. ”
......
Another picture of a memory emerges in the sea of consciousness of Iribus.
It was an unprecedentedly fierce battle.
The ice and flames that streaked across the sky collided and exploded like colorful flowers, turning the sky into a world of ice and fire.
The battle between the frost dragon Iribus and the red dragon Terangra Theresa has entered its third day, and the two dragons are still not decided.
"His grandmother's, Iribus, the frost dragon, lives up to his reputation, and he didn't expect to be able to draw with me Terangra Theresa. Terangratriza shouted at its loud voice, panting in its usual rude language.
"Your strength is also beyond my expectations!" Iribus glanced at Terangratrisa, and while also gasping for breath, he asked coldly, "Terangratrisa, what's the matter, do you still want to fight Maiserina's idea?"
Terangratrisa glared at Iribus fiercely, and said, "I can't win you, and you can't win me, since I can't beat you away from Maiserina, and she likes you and not me, then why should I waste this effort? Do you think I like to fight fights that I can't win?"
Terangra Teresa vibrated her wings and dragged her tired body away from the Frost Dragons' habitat in a curse.
......
The screen continues to switch.
"What?
"Is there anything strange about this, Iribus, in the long history of our dragons, there have not been many dragons who have made pacts with humans, elves, orcs, and even dwarves, become their friends and mounts, adventure together, travel together, and leave countless legends on the continent?"
"Hmph, the dragons who are willing to sign contracts with those low-level creatures are low-level dragons, and you are a high-ranking dragon, the noble frost dragon Maiserina, how can you let those low-level creatures ride on your incomparably noble dragon's back. Iribus said reluctantly.
"Iribus, how can you discriminate against other creatures with colored eyes? You must know that all living beings on the continent are all created by God, and all beings are equal. "Maiserina's voice is still so pleasant.
What a ridiculous joke this is, Maiserina, I don't know that you would say such a laughable thing after a trip to the realm created by those inferior creatures, and what would blind you and pollute your mind. Iribus said chagrined.
"Iribus, you are just too proud to look down on all creatures weaker than you, which is why you are so lonely, so lonely, and there are no friends around you. Not to mention the other creatures of the foreign race, even among the dragons of your own race, don't you have no friends?
Iribus was silent.
"Even the pride of the red dragons, the dragon of your name, Terangra Theresa, has made a pact with an elf who is weaker than it and has become an elven's friend and mount, so why can't you let go of your proud heart and try to be friends with a creature weaker than you?"
"Also, the human who signed the contract with me is not as weak as you think, he is one of the top beings in the human race, and he is a knight with a combat power level of twelve. And although I am a frost dragon, my combat power level is only level 11, and I don't feel any shame in signing a contract with him. Besides, there are examples like Terangra Theresa to be my example!"
Maiserina's barrage of words left Iribus speechless.
In the end, Iribus acquiesced to the unchangeable fact that Maiserina became a dragon knight's mount.
......
Once again, a scene that left Iribus in pain crept in.
What is the most painful thing in the world? Is it better than a person you love so much, and at the moment when you enter the solemn and sacred marriage hall with you, you run away from someone else?
In the majestic dragon hall, there are lights and lights, indicating that a couple is about to enter the palace of marriage. However, the wedding scene that was supposed to be very festive was so depressing and deserted at this time.
The bridegroom, Iribus, looked up at the dome of the dragon hall in despair, his eyes glazed. Dozens of frost dragons were pointing and whispering something. As the wedding host, the Frost Dragon King looked at the newlyweds in front of him who was only one person left, and couldn't help but shake the dragon's head lightly and let out a sigh.
As the minutes ticked by, Iribus finally recovered from the prolonged painful blow. Two blazing flames of anger emerged from its eyes.
"Why, Maiserina, you fall in love with a human who has made a contract with you, a so-called dragon knight?
"Renes, you snatched my Maiserina. O lowly human being, I will make you pay the price of blood for the shame inflicted on me!"
With an earth-shattering dragon roar, the corner of the dome of the Dragon Hall exploded, and a huge silver-white body flew out of the Dragon Hall and flew towards the distant human realm.
......
The picture is finally frozen in a night of heavy rain and thunder.
A swordsman in black armor walked slowly step by step against the wind and rain that was blowing in front of him. The heavy sword in his hand, dragging behind him, the sharp tip of the sword, in this ground full of stagnant water, can still unbelievably draw out Dao sparks.
The swordsman stopped in front of a great shadow that stood in the darkness. A bolt of lightning streaked through the shadow, and it was a massive frost dragon.
Iribus stared haughtily at the swordsman, who looked so small compared to its huge dragon body, and said coldly, "Rens Cleman, you are finally willing to appear in front of me. ”
"Yes, I have finally appeared before you, you bloodthirsty dragon. The two hundred and seventeenth lives of the Kryman family, you should pay it back today!" pointed the heavy sword in the swordsman's hand at Iribus, his voice full of grief and resentment.
"Why are you? Just because you have reached the twelfth level of Dou Qi? It is undeniable that among your inferior biota, your twelfth level of Dou Qi is indeed at the very top, even if you look at the entire dragon race, there are many dragons who are not your opponents. However, in the face of me, Iribus, the strongest frost dragon, what can you do with your twelfth-level combat power?" With a sky-shaking dragon roar, Iribus shook his head violently, and a violent ice dragon breath immediately spat out on Rennes.
Reigns also roared in the sky, brandished the heavy sword in his hand, and rushed towards Iribus.
One man and one dragon, on this stormy night, launched a desperate struggle.
It was a terrible fight.
The earth is shaking, the mountains are collapsing, and the huge energy released by a man and a dragon in the struggle is affected, and with the position where they are fighting as the center, within a radius of a hundred miles, there is not a single grass, no people and animals remain, and all living things are all destroyed.
The last to fall on a rainy night was Iribus.
When the heavy sword in Raines's hand was inserted into the dragon's heart, and the dragon slowly fell to the ground with an expression of disbelief, the light brought by the moment when the lightning pierced the darkness in the sky, the dragon saw that the swordsman in front of him, the former dragon knight, his original blonde hair had turned into purple hair, and a pair of blue eyes had also turned into purple demon pupils, and the color of the blood flowing out of the wound on his body was also the color of purple.
That's the purple color that represents the demon race!
"Ahem," the dragon sneered, foaming at the blood in his mouth, "Humble creature, I didn't expect you to throw yourself into the arms of demons." ”
"That's right," Rennes's voice was cold, with a hint of sadness, "it's all about revenge on you, Iribus, the most powerful frost dragon." In order to gain the power to hit you, I gave up my faith in the Lord, all glory, all self-esteem, and gave my soul to the master of darkness, the terrifying demon god Akmund, from whom I received the power of darkness without limit. Now I am no longer the dragon knight Renes Colleman, who is admired by everyone, but Renes Colleman, one of the ten great lords of the Abyss Demon Realm and the most powerful demon swordsman. ”
"Hahahaha...... The dragon looked up to the sky and let out the last long laugh left in the world before the flame of life was extinguished: "Poor man, although you killed me, the price you paid is too great! My death in this life only heralds the beginning of my next life of reincarnation! What about you? You sold your soul to the devil, but you became a walking corpse controlled by the devil. You will endure never-ending, endless, endless pain in that eternal and eternal thousands of years, in that suffocating and crazy dark world. ”
Raines smiled. His laughter was full of bitterness and helplessness at first, but in the end, it became so vicious.
"Yes, Iribus, I will suffer for an endless and long time in the dark world, but you will not be much better than me. Do you think your soul will be able to return to the arms of God or enter the reincarnation of the cycle if you are killed by the "cursed sword"? You will become the "eternal cursed", and you will become an eternally cursed undead in a world of death that is even more depraved and filthy than the dark world. ”
"Cursed Sword?" For the first time, the dragon's eyes began to blur with a look of fear, and it angrily tried to get up from the ground and tear the demon in front of it apart, but it felt that it could no longer exert any strength. Its pupils were dilated, and the sparkle in its eyes that represented signs of life quickly dimmed.
"Hahahaha......" The knight who fell into darkness let out bursts of crazy laughter mixed with endless resentment and bitterness in this cold and biting rainy night.
