Volume II Storm Falls 60 Illanicus
Is this the dragon?
Although there was a huge translucent figure in front of me, it shook me more than anything I had ever seen. It was an absolute majesty, an absolute momentum that shook my soul even with a single look.
Even if it is not real, it is real in front of me.
The dragon saw me, and he adjusted its massive head slightly, "Mortal, how dare you break into here. ”
"You...... Is it a dragon? My voice was shaking.
"Oh, don't you know dragons? Or have you seen other dragons? "It doesn't have to speak, and the voice already makes me a little nervous.
"I've heard of ...... Also seen. I said, "It's a green dragon!" ”
"What other dragons have you seen?"
"Alexstrasza, the Red Dragon Queen, Nozdorm the Bronze Dragon, Malygos the Blue Dragon, and the Black Dragon...... Nesario, and the Green Dragon...... Ysera...... Her Majesty. ”
"Bold mortals!" An angry voice came from the dome.
"Shut up!" There is a voice.
"Rude!" The voice was coarse.
"Idiot! You can't wake up the sleepers! The voice was low.
I was stunned, but the green dragon in front of me didn't raise it: "You actually know Queen Ysera." ”
"I've heard of it."
"So you are a learned man." It sounds so steady. "Are you a magician?" As he spoke, it adjusted its head again, its huge eyes fixed on me, "But you don't seem to have the breath of magic on you. ”
"I'm just a ...... Ranger. "I can't think of any words to describe who I am. I'm not a warrior, but I can't say I'm an assassin either.
"Funny humans, brave humans...... Stupid humans. It looked up at me. You almost got into trouble today. ”
"I'm sorry."
"If just apologizing was useful, there wouldn't be so much strife in the world." The dragon's voice was slightly lighter. "But you humans never examine yourselves. Always insatiable, and even less temperate in lust. This time, it was your curiosity that led to these tragedies. ”
"Thank you for the reminder, I will take your teachings to heart." I said, "But...... Venerable Green Dragon, can you help me? ”
"Impudent!" The voice came again.
"Arrogant! He dared to ask Master Illanicus to help him! ”
"Crush this stupid human!"
"They never learn their lessons!"
I looked up at the dark ceiling, and the sound seemed to come from there. But I didn't see anything else.
"What do you want? Mankind. ”
"Can you ...... Save him? I pointed to Grayson on the ground.
"Huh? Save him? "The hateful voice came again.
"This mortal is trying to bring a dead man back to life!"
"Is it audacity or stupidity!"
"It's a scourge to keep him!"
I looked at the green dragon with four horns on its head in front of me, and it just stared at me, not speaking.
"Why did you save him?" It spoke.
"He's a good guy."
"There are so many good people who have sacrificed. Like the soldiers who came with you. ”
"He is a general, and war needs soldiers, but generals are needed even more. Our people need him. ”
"Your war has nothing to do with me."
"No, it's about you! The five-colored dragon is the guardian of this world, and I don't know what you green dragons are guarding, but this war will eventually involve you all, and a race from another world has invaded. ”
"Lie!"
"This mortal is a liar! He's lying all the time! ”
"Shred it! Crush this arrogant human! ”
"Stupid human intimidation has no effect on dragons!"
"Are you lying?" After the voices were gone, the dragon in front of me spoke.
"Of course not, I am not a prophet, but I know very well what has happened and will happen in this world. I've seen these things happen. As the supreme guardians of the world, you should be aware of the changes in the world. ”
"Boring and ...... Empty. You didn't convince me. It lowered its head.
"Then why did you save me?"
"Just to stop you from summoning a nightmare." It said.
"You mean the Blood God!" I shook my head. "It's just an evil god that a troll worships, and this thing isn't an evil god at all!"
"Your words are full of ignorance and fearlessness. An evil god...... Nothing more. You may not know how much of a catastrophe its rebirth will bring. ”
"Now the calamity of the outside world is no less light than that brought by this snake. And is that why you're here? Master Kuranicus. ”
The dragon didn't answer me, but it looked like it was dissatisfied.
"The Great Guardian Dragon, the Guardian of the World. It is true that the world has become much more harmonious and stable because of you, but now that it is here, it seems that you alone have not completely suppressed this ancient evil. I pointed to Grayson on the ground and said, "Bring him back to life, and if I revive him, I promise that I will destroy this place with my own hands." ”
"Who do you think you are"
"This arrogant human being is boasting again"
"Can't trust this guy."
"They will only bring disaster, just like this time! We can't trust him! ”
Those four voices filled my heart with anger, and I shouted out in desperation: "No matter who you are, no matter what you say about humanity, the world will change because of humanity." It doesn't matter how deep your magic is, or how powerful you are. It is not you, the Guardians, who can save this world, but the unknown races that live in this land. ”
I roared and glared at its face, the dragon's pupils narrowing. "You're a strange fellow, and sharp teeth are sometimes more useful than hard fists. You didn't convince me, but I grant your request. ”
I was overjoyed to hear his words.
"But don't rejoice too soon, mortal, I can't revive your friend."
This sentence directly confused me.
"He needs your help if he survives." The dragon's eyes stared at me: "This place is full of evil, and all dead souls cannot escape this place. They will be imprisoned in this place forever. This place is the lair of the rebirth of the blood god Haka, and the walking corpse-like trolls are Haka's followers and servants. They had all given their flesh and blood to the evil god. But it's not satisfied, it requires eight different souls and blood, and the number of you who came was just right. He said.
"You've alarmed the Sleepers, and the troll you just saw is Haka's most faithful follower. Your blood nourished him and woke him from his slumber. And when he wakes up, he must summon his master. ”
"But they don't just want the blood in this body. And the soul of this body.
”
"I can help you fall asleep, you must find his soul quickly. Rescue it from the gloom. ”
"And then?"
"When you bring his soul to me, I will tell you what to do." It looked at me, "When your soul leaves your body, it becomes more vulnerable, and you will encounter all kinds of strange and terrible things, try to avoid them, especially the souls of the priests. I don't think you can handle the damage they can do to you. He paused and said, "It's going to be very dangerous." If you don't get it right, you'll never get back to this body of yours, are you sure you want to try? ”
"I'm sure."
"Lie down, human."
I placed Grayson's body in front of the dragon, and I stood next to the dragon and reached for it
"Is this a hallucination?" My hands can't touch it.
"No, all you see is our souls." He said.
When the question in my heart came to my lips, I swallowed it back.
Lying beside it, the green dragon looked down at the two of us. "Close your eyes, mortal."
I closed my eyes decisively, and the moment I closed them, I felt extremely heavy. I couldn't lift my hands and feet heavily, and I couldn't move my whole body. This oppressive feeling made me want to break free, and it was like a nightmare that made me uncomfortable and scared.
"Stand up." Suddenly, I heard a deep voice in my ear, "Stand up mortal." ”
When I heard this, I knew that the dragon was guiding me, and I wanted to sit up, but I still had no strength in my hands and feet.
"Liberate yourself, don't be nervous, and relax slowly! Forget your arms and legs, forget your body. You feel your body suddenly become very light, even making you feel like you're going to fly. It said slowly.
The first thing I felt moving was my shoulders, then my head and chest. When my upper body felt light, I sat up easily.
But when I saw myself lying on the ground, I got up on my bones.
"Very well, mortal, you made the first step."
I turned my head to look at the dragon next to me, and was surprised to see that it was no longer translucent, and when I bent down to touch my body, I found that I couldn't touch it.
"Now that you're in a soul state, go ahead and find him quickly. Beware of the sacrifices. ”
I'm sure this isn't my first out-of-body experience, I felt it once when I was about twenty years old, but it scared me.
I touched my soul state, and it was a strange touch. I reached for the weapon at my waist and pulled the knife out.
"An elven weapon? Mortal, where did you get it from? The green dragon suddenly spoke.
"It's not an elven weapon."
"I won't admit to mistake."
"This is killing some sea monsters from the sea, Naga. from their hands. ”
"That's right, go mortal, get your friends back."
I glanced at myself on the ground. Then left this hall.
Even in this current state, it would be false to say that you are not afraid. Especially when he saw this group of trolls gathered at the entrance of the passage like dummies, he still didn't dare to take a step forward.
I slowly approached, only to find that they really didn't seem to see me, their eyes glazed and hollow.
Slowly approaching, approaching. When I stood in front of them, they were still unmoved. I reached out to push them, but I almost threw myself out.
I walked through their bodies.
Yes! It's not a pleasant feeling, but as soon as I passed through their bodies, the scene in the central hall made me gasp. The soul of a human soldier is wandering the halls.
He hid his face and wept as he walked.
As soon as I raised my hand and tried to open my mouth to call him, I stopped again. The bloodied troll came out of a passage with his little henchman.
It was holding the shield I had given Grayson! And the servant walked into the sacrificial hall with the heads of three men in his hands.
I hurried to the soldier's soul, "Hey! I reached out and grabbed him.
He took his hand away from his face in horror, and there were no tears on his face, only pain and grief on his face.
"Hey! Brothers! You look at me. I stared at him and yelled at him.
He went from pain to surprise and then to fear in an instant. "You...... Are you a human or a ghost! ”
I was speechless, "Brother, don't be shocked, I'm just like you, I'm what you are." ”
"I was ...... Captured by them! Didn't you flee? I'm so scared! Who will save me! I'm in such pain! He opened his throat and shouted.
"Calm down!" I tried to hold him down on the shoulder, but he didn't listen to me with his hands over his face. "Calm down! Hey! ”
Seeing that I couldn't control him anymore, I grabbed my fist and punched him in the face. I felt the power, but I couldn't feel the reaction of my fist to his face.
He slumped to the ground, but that didn't stop him from wailing.
I ran up and grabbed him by the collar of his clothes, but I suddenly noticed...... Isn't one of the corpses in the round hole in his neck his body?
All of a sudden I let go again.
He died a terrible death.
