(Today's second update arrives.) There is a third shift after 10:30 p.m.)

"Bang!"

In the field, Sadonan and the Black Dragon collided head-on.

The black dragon took a few steps back and unleashed a ferocious pounce forward.

"Fei Nanxi?"

Natsu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up from the ground.

"Summer ...... Don't go up. ”

Delia stood in front of her, turned back and said:

"The black dragon's attack is too dangerous, if you accidentally take a hit, you will die!"

She turned her head back, and a resolute look appeared in her pupils:

"Just let me ......"

"Deria, wait a minute."

Natsu grabbed her arm and pulled her to the back.

"Sadonan, come back first!"

Immediately afterward, a message was sent to Sadonan.

The white-haired boy's clothes were already soaked with sweat at this time, and even the reflex of physical attacks was very hard, and he immediately retreated when he heard this.

"Huh? Are you finally going to give up? ”

The black dragon Hadi did not pursue, slapped his claws on the ground, looked at the retreating three people and said:

"After two battles, you are still brave, this kind of expression is beyond my expectations, but now you should have reached the limit."

"Throw in the towel."

It held its head high:

"It's not a shame to lose to the great dragons, you are still recognized by the world as a strong man."

Delia and Sadonan looked at the black-haired succubus on the side.

After the transformation, Xia physique was much stronger than in the ordinary state, and she could still move even after several violent shocks, only to see her walk in front of the black dragon and stretch out an arm upward:

"Follow the ancient pact of the White Snake and answer my call with your soul - come out! My fellow lich. ”

"Giggle......

"Click......" The rubble and walls of the arena shook abruptly.

Suddenly it was dark.

It was as if night had suddenly fallen, and the entire arena was shrouded in a pitch-black curtain that shaded out the sunlight from the top of the snow-capped mountain.

"What's that?"

The surrounding dragons and contestants looked in horror at the darkened arena. Not sure what happened.

"Shhh―――――――h

A long tearing sound sounded, and a crack appeared in the void.

A hideous skull slowly poked out from the crack, and the pair of black dragons with golden glow swept towards the ground.

"Dragon Arena. A place to be missed; I've worked hard here to improve my skills as a necromancer. ”

Summer's ears rang with Fei Nanxi's voice.

"The Great Lich ......"

The black dragon Hardy recognized the body of the comer. There was a shock in the voice.

Such kind guardians are not only extremely rare on the continent, they are not even described in epic poems.

And judging by the kind of deterrence emanating from the other party, this is a symbol that has broken through the boundaries.

The void crack closed behind him, and the lich floated in front of Natsu in a wide robe, and bowed to her deeply:

"In keeping my oath, I have returned from hell...... My master. ”

Natsu blinked strangely twice.

Master?

Isn't it a partner.

Although the soul contract between the two has not yet been dissolved, with the current strength of the lich, it may only take a few months to break through the shackles.

But then I understood what it meant by that - only servants of the summoner. can enter the battlefield justifiably.

"Fei Nanxi, you've always been so smart...... It really helped. ”

Natsu breathed a sigh of relief and happily sent a message to the lich.

"Gascut!"

The lich Fernanxi chanted a brief incantation, and a black staff appeared in his hand.

Two kinds of light came out from the tip of the staff, one dark and one bright, intertwined and flew towards the Black Spirit Knight who was trying to recover his body.

The deep magic contained in the dark light caused its deflated armor to bulge at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the broken places were reconnected and healed, and it quickly rose from the ground.

Then its body showed a light that was incongruous with the darkness.

This bright light gradually stretched the body of the undead, and the long sword in his hand also turned into a huge blade, and it didn't take long for its height to exceed that of the black dragon not far away.

"Wow!"

The blue soul fire burned in the eyes of the giant black spirit knight. The abundant magic power makes its power multiply several times.

"My companion, I have accomplished my revenge in the depths of the earth."

After doing this, the lich said to her in his mind:

"Now please let me keep our agreement. Clearing the way for you. ”

As soon as this sentence was spoken, the long-awaited system prompt popped up in front of Xia's eyes:

"Congratulations, you've completed the hidden mission: Find a helper."

"Hidden Mission: 100% Progress Now

1. Please go to the Great Snow Mountain to find the Blizzard Princess Deria. Harlot (completed).

2. The Great Lich Fernanxi has a rebellious mentality, please try to eliminate this hidden danger and then gain its loyalty or friendship (completed).

3. Please go to the royal slum to find an unknown helper, attention: strong supporters! Be sure to find this person, as this will greatly increase the probability of success (completed). ”

"You've got an upgrade item, Soul Light."

"Since you are now in a hermit state, the reputation points gained will be automatically hidden."

"This quest also has reputation?" She wondered.

But then I woke up to a big thing:

Light of the soul!

Valuable items that can be directly upgraded to level 50 without conditions can only be used until the fifth class change!

"Stephanie. How much experience do we have now? ”

She hurriedly asked the little Lori in black:

"Can you raise it to lv620?"

"It should be okay master!"

The little Lori in black also came to her senses, she had been wiping her tears from the side just now to watch Xia and the black dragon desperately. Now the tears in his eyes disappeared all at once, and he rushed to the master's side. The system panel opened.

"If you add all of them to the Void Mage class, you can increase to level 623." She reported to Natsu:

"All on top of the Hurricane Swordsman. Can be upgraded to level 621. ”

"--Then add two soul lights, and you will be able to rise to lv720, master!"

She jumped up in front of the panel, took out two bells and shook them happily.

"Upgrade."

Natsu closed her eyes. Exhaled deeply:

"Raise the Hurricane Swordsman to lv620 and use all of the Soul Light...... Now is not the time to celebrate. ”

――How long has it been?

It's been almost three years since I came into this world.

Today she finally took the most difficult step. Raised the level to the threshold of the continent's powerhouse!

"Is it confirmed that it's a swordsman class and not a void mage? Master. ”

The little Lori in black sent out a final inquiry as usual.

"Confirm!"

"-Congratulations on raising the Hurricane Swordsman to lv620!"

"Use the one-time item - Soul Light, increase the level by 50, the current level is lv670";

"Use the one-time item - Soul Light, increase the level by 50, the current level is lv720";

"Since you haven't completed your job change, you can't be promoted to a higher level."

"You've got a new job change!"

"Fifth Class Transfer: Kill or capture an adult pure-blood dragon/radiant angel/giant lord/spirit god/elven sage...... or an individual who matches it. ”

"It's this kind of job transfer mission for the dead again."

Natsu, who was happy, gasped.

"Huh......"

"Adult pure-blood dragon?"

Her eyes were on the black dragon, who did not dare to act rashly under the threat of the lich.

It's not realistic to capture a proud black dragon guard.

But...... Kill it, it seems that there is still hope?

Her heart was pounding.

――Do you want to do it?

"I didn't expect you to have such a terrible servant, I was impressed with you. A human maiden. ”

The Black Dragon's eyes were full of vigilance, as it sensed a real threat from the Lich Fernanxi.

It was a feeling that only came when facing a powerful opponent, and it was unbelievable that an ordinary human summon could have such a terrifying level.

"I'm probably going to give it my all."

The black dragon said, and then lowered his body:

"If you're not sure, it's better to stay away...... Leaving the arena would have been considered a failure, but as the enforcer of this punitive battle, I allow you to stay away from this place. ”

Unlike the Murga just now, this is a good dragon.

Hearing its words, Xia suddenly extinguished the idea of killing it.

Even if this black dragon is heinous, kill the guards in the dragon god-infested dragon arena...... The matter itself is very debatable.

Not to mention, she also agreed to help the primeval dragon find the root cause of the dragon's crisis. After careful analysis by her and the black-clothed little Lori, if this matter can be done perfectly, I am afraid it will be the best chance to get the dragon fragment.

"Bang!"

The enlarged Black Spirit Knight's armor shook. Jumping up, he unleashed a vertical slash at the black dragon.

The huge blade slashed at the black dragon's hard horns, bursting out a large puff of sparks.

The black dragon let out a low roar, jerked its head up, lifted the blade of the greatsword, and then slammed its head into the black knight's waist, knocking it back a step.

One of the lich's hands was raised.

An ice-blue glow began to flicker on that hand, pointing to the location of the black dragon.

"It's cold!"

Even a strong man like Di Liya, who was used to the cold of the snowy mountains, shrank his body.

A large amount of ice elementals converged in the air, and a magic array with a ruining aura appeared directly in front of the lich.

"Salamento ......"

The lich recited an ice magic spell that Natsu had heard before.

Layers of ice flowers burst out from the magic array, and the eyes of the Black Spirit Knight lit up. Rolled in front of the black dragon and fled to the side.

Everyone's vision was filled with dazzling ice blue. A huge and incomparable icicle pierced through the black dragon's body, and even the surrounding air condensed into crystal ice crystals.

"Click. Click! ”

Little by little, the black dragon Hardy's body was frozen into ice, and finally turned into a sculpture in the blue ice crystals, standing quietly in the middle of the arena, and its eyes could be seen still struggling to turn.

"It's powerful, and it has a wisp of divinity."

The Lich Fernanxi lowered his hand:

"I can only trap it for a minute, now it's up to you to decide what to do next...... If I had to do my best, that minute would be enough to wreak havoc on it. (To be continued) R466
