Chapter Ninety-Eight: I'm the Embodiment of Strength!

The vibration from the depths of the earth made the casters feel a thrill, this is hundreds of meters underground, if there is something wrong with the dark cave, it will take a lot of effort for the few spellcasters who are not in good condition to get out. Ankh has temporarily lost his ability to cast spells, and the spiritual imprints contained in the red silk threads dispersed by Wells and Swift are also very expensive, and the six black holes condensed by Landolia look inconspicuous, and they seem to be no different from the usual black holes, but it is really not an easy task to condense the black element into that almost physical state, and it can be said that the consumption of the vice dean is the largest.

At the same time, Landolia also has to worry about whether the above circles will have any problems under the influence of the vibration, the uncontrolled "chaotic element" is too dangerous, and it is good to reject the magic circle, if the absorption circle cannot work normally, it will inevitably cause damage to those mercenaries and mid-level mages stationed in the circle. If a few more guys are eroded by the "chaotic element", there may be a lot of casualties.

Anka and Swift's men are also a hidden danger, although the two high-level spellcasters have surrendered, but the high-level status makes them not worry about their safety even if they are prisoners of war, but the mid-level who participate in the mission with them do not have this kind of treatment. Landolia did say that she would try her best to ensure that their lives were safe, but they were also flesh and blood people, and if they didn't have their own ideas, it would be enough to cause a headache if they did make some trouble.

Fortunately, the Odin people who can participate in the mission are extremely loyal to their country, and with the surrender of the two leaders, they have also come to the cave one after another, and they have also heard Wells's explanation of the hidden dangers in the Forbidden Mountains, they are more concerned about the situation of their own country than to help Baier gain an advantage in the war, and it seems that there will be no changes for the time being.

The tremor only lasted for a short moment, and everyone in the cave could clearly see that in the center of the already broken giant ** array, a crack appeared, and even the altar where the staff was placed before fell into it. The length of the rift is more than ten meters, and the width is also more than three meters. As for how deep it was, Liu Li walked over and took a look, driven by curiosity, and came to the conclusion that it was...... Bottomless.

Suddenly, a stream of black elements erupted from the crack, and not only the remaining "chaotic elements" in the cave, but also the elements of other colors were also dispersed under the turbulence of the surging black elements, and what shocked Landolia the most was that the black elements that already existed in the cave were not spared.

The subsequent changes shocked everyone in the cave, and with the explosion of the black element, a strong coercion suddenly appeared. The coercion was so strong that even the four high-level mages couldn't compete with it. Especially Landolia, who originally majored in the black element, but under this coercion, she found that the black element, which she could control freely, was now unable to mobilize even the slightest. Of course, what shocked the Vice Dean the most was far more than that, she had seen this black element before, and even been exposed to it for more than a year. It is often used by Liu Li, which combines the two characteristics of "darkness" and "death", the purest black element.

"This ...... Absolute...... Definitely not...... High. "Ankh is in the worst state of the four high-level mages, his mental power has been severely damaged by the erosion of the "chaotic element", and now he has consumed all his mind just by standing up. The men he had brought with him were even more unbearable, they had all fainted, and none of them could stay awake, and Landolia finally didn't have to worry about what these people were doing.

The only one who was not affected by coercion was Liu Li, as these pure black elements gradually filled the cave, he could clearly perceive that the black ancient rune above the blue of the meditation space exuded a deeper and deeper aura as the environment changed.

"The owner of the black rune?" A will descended, and a deep voice sounded in the minds of the four high-level mages, plus Liu Li, and the five people who could still stay awake. This is not a magical effect of telepathic communication, but a strong will that directly instills the meaning it wants to express into everyone's minds.

With the advent of this will, the black elemental that pervades the entire cave also changed its form and gradually became solidified, eventually forming a creature dragon that only exists in legends.

The existence of dragons can be traced back to ancient times, when human civilization was just emerging, and the half-orc race had not yet appeared in this world, only the elven classics had records of this great creature. However, even in the records of the elves, there is only one ancient dragon named Lis, who has a peaceful nature. Legend has it that she was peaceful by nature, entrenched in the extreme south of the world, and could never be the one in front of her.

"Dragon...... Dragon!" compared to the others, Swift's performance really lost his status as a high-level mage, not that he was scared silly, but ...... This high-level mage, who is over 100 years old, seems to be starting to make mistakes again. Ankh really wanted to faint directly, and the shock in his heart when he saw the dragon was not small, but don't start chattering in front of people like this, what if this dragon is bored with Swift's chatter? If the super-level existence in front of him knows that this second person is his own junior, he may even implicate himself, and it can be seen from this powerful coercion that this super-level is definitely not a good-tempered existence. Fortunately, the dragon's attention was always on Liu Li, which made the old mage very relieved.

"Oh, it seems like you're not in good shape. The dragon formed by the condensation of the black element seemed to have just sensed the state of everyone, and as its words fell, the ubiquitous coercion instantly disappeared invisibly. "That should be fine. ”

"Great Being, may I ask why you are here?" Facing the existence whose strength far exceeded his own, the Vice Dean did not have a trace of cowardice, and asked. In fact, Landolia couldn't say what the reason was, but instinctively felt that this dragon would not hurt her, and even in her heart, there was a faint sense of closeness.

"Except for the owner of the black rune, it's actually ...... Huh?" the dragon turned its attention to the small human as it heard Randolia's words, but his tone was full of surprise as if he had seen something incredible. "That's kind of interesting...... You two, come with me. ”

After saying this, the dragon directly reverted to pure dark elements, and then these elements disappeared into the crack in the center of the circle in a very short time, just like when they appeared, leaving the stunned crowd at no idea what to do.

"Let's go, Liu Li, it looks like it's asking the two of us to go in. Landolia's curiosity about powerful creatures suppressed her fear, and the inexplicable closeness was also the reason for her decision, "Don't worry, Will, I can feel it, it doesn't have malicious intent. ”

"It's not good if there's no malice, I'm not at ease. Wells is rare resolute, although he usually follows his lover, but at this moment, although there is still fear in his heart, he cannot be allowed to retreat at all.

"You've got to watch these two guys, what if we both go down and they both run away. Landolia was equally worried, and although she didn't feel malice in the dragon, she didn't feel any ill will in her lover's adventure with her, and most importantly, Wells wasn't among the dragon's invitations.

Anka smiled bitterly, let alone running away, he didn't even want Liu Li to take the risk, but the two of them were having a conversation between lovers, and he, the old man, couldn't intervene at all.

"Hehe, lovers, then come together, as for the others, they can't run. Well, it seems that the dragon's will has not left, and the sudden appearance of a word almost startled Swift to the ground.

When Landolia heard this, she had no reason to refute it, but agreed to let Wells go with her. Wells can never abandon her in the face of super-level existence, which makes the heart of the vice president full of sweetness and joy. Without any further hesitation, the three of them jumped directly into the rift.

Finally, after falling for a thousand meters, everyone came to an even larger cavern. On the stone walls of the cave, some moss was emitting a faint blue glow, so that the three of them would not use spell lighting, and they could clearly see the true body of the dragon in the center of the cave.

Despite its sheer size, perhaps over thirty meters in length, this powerful creature did not appear bloated. Its scales seem to be made of stainless steel, reflecting clear colors in the dark light, giving it a sense of indestructibility. Even the long wings like a bat make people feel that it can easily tear through the night sky and soar above the nine heavens in the wind. On either side of its skull are two sharp curved horns, which are not just decorations, but also one of its weapons. It was only after seeing this curved horn that Wells and Landolia's faces changed at the same time, revealing a color of disbelief.

"Oh, that's sharp, you two little ones. Hearing the dragon's words, Liu Li could clearly see the smile that couldn't be hidden in its dark eyes.

"You...... You are, Croces...... Ancestor?" Landolia's shock was even greater than Wells's, the sharp horns on the dragon's head were almost indistinguishable from her own pair in shape. The reason why her family is a royal family is because of the legend of the dragon's blood. And Landolia's horn, according to the custom of her world, has been given to her lover, which is why Wells was equally shocked when he saw the dragon.

"Wait, Krosis, you are the fifth emperor of the empire, the legendary mentor of His Majesty Gisien?" The legend of the legendary mercenary Gisien, the fifth emperor of the Kronos Empire, can be said to be a household name, but in various versions of the legend, the mentor of this emperor is more or less mentioned. In fact, the fame of this emperor is not only this, not only the fifth emperor, but even the shadow of this super-level martial artist appeared behind the beginning of the empire. His legend accompanied the empire for thousands of years, and it was not until the eleventh emperor succeeded to the throne that he faded from the attention of historians. When the Kronos Empire was first established, the Elven Forest was included in the territory, and the Emperor Krosis and the Elven Historian were the elders of the Ten Dynasties.

Wells has a deep understanding of the history of the empire, especially the legendary experience of the Mercenary King, and it is the identity of the other party's emperor that is first mentioned when he speaks. However, he didn't expect that this legendary character would be a dragon and the ancestor of his lover.

"Yes, that's all me. The smile in the dragon's eyes deepened a little, "I am Crosis, the Dragon King of the Sweep, the dragon king in charge of the black element, and the embodiment of power. ”
