Deep in a swamp far from the city of Lahore sits a huge dragon's lair that smells of decay.

In one of the deepest rooms of the dragon's lair, a tall and thin figure was conducting experiments with test tubes and potion bottles.

Suddenly, his hand shook, and a large drop of liquid dripped from the flask into the test tube.

A large amount of smoke instantly evaporated from the test tube, followed by a dull sound from the room.

"KS Deji, your experiment has failed again."

As a pair of dark blue eyes opened, a deep voice echoed in the dragon's lair.

"As I said, this matter is not urgent. I've been planning for nearly a thousand years for the sake of Kaivos, and I'm not afraid to wait another thousand years."

"Zhuo Gongsha, don't compare your dragon's view of time with us humans."

The tall and thin figure walked out of the room, looked at the huge dragon shadow in the main hall, and said angrily.

"Okay," Zhuo Gong shook his skeletal dragon head, "I'm curious that you, who have always been sure in experiments, can make mistakes."

Wren frowned and let out a muffled snort, the false life provided by the Ancient Scarab Badge was only 2 points left by the opponent's blow!

"Wren, how are you?"

As the three of them spoke, they had already sorted out the spoils from the Faceless Clone.

Speaking of Ragnalin Shenshi and Barabbas Smenko, Angelica's little face suddenly became puffed up.

This cloak provides the wearer with a 2-point charisma bonus, and when equipped, Wren's charisma stat reaches a staggering 22 points in one fell swoop!

The three of them walked out of the fork in the road and walked in the direction of the lift.

KS Deji said expressionlessly.

Leorina exclaimed.

"Spell scrolls can't penetrate this monster's spell resistance!"

The female mage who was the first to react subconsciously tore open the lightning beam scroll that had just arrived, and in an instant, a blazing white lightning bolt came out of her hand and bombarded the monster that pounced.

"No, after Quarako discovered the secret in that pool, I positioned it as a bait. I don't care if the two idiots who are just trying to kill each other are alive or dead. What intrigued me the most was the dark power contained in the pool. It just so happens that you can test it with these adventurers who don't know whether to live or die. If this power is strong enough, it may be of use to us as an important means of breaking the seal."

- Heavy Shield Slam!

Bang!

Under Wren's blow, the monster's forward momentum was forcibly blocked, and it was even knocked back four or five steps by the holy warrior, almost falling to the ground.

"The target stats are as follows!"

As soon as they walked in front of the temple, an extremely evil aura permeated from the temple, which stimulated the scalps of the three Wren to tingle.

What is the challenge level of this thing in front of you?

KS Deji said, glanced at the dragon's nest, and asked:

At this moment, a row of data suddenly appeared in Wren's field of vision:

Wren said in a deep voice.

I saw that the broken clown mask on the monster's face flashed with a strange light, instantly enveloping its entire body, and the lightning beam struck its body and was bounced aside.

….

As Zhuo Gongxi's words fell, silence returned to the entire dragon's lair.

Looking at the monster that was getting closer and closer to him, Wren was also ruthless in his heart, stood the spiked shield on his chest, and launched a charge against the other party.

KS Deji looked at the ancient black dragon dragon lich lying in the main hall and asked uncertainly.

"So, if Rasina can't be trusted, do I need to go to the Misty Swamp myself?"

"Scan Activated!"

"It's okay, I can't die!"

The paladin struggled to his feet, staring at the monster not far away, a sense of foreboding in his heart.

It's on the body

A mix of the characteristics of the three evil gods it represents.

At the sight of Wren and them, the blasphemous creature let out a beastly roar, and then used its hands and feet together to rush in the direction where Wren was!

The black liquid made up a three-meter-tall body, four arms, and smooth gray-black skin on the outside of the body, swollen muscles filled with arcane power, and a tattered clown mask covered its withered face, revealing a gray eye and fangs in its mouth.

The two girls looked at Wren who fell to the ground and asked hurriedly.

Another row of small words appeared in his field of vision.

…………

Looking at the faceless man who was killed by Wren in one blow, the two girls were a little incredulous.

"No, it's just a clone created by the Faceless One with [Simulacrum], and we don't know where his essence is!"

But the worm-shaped inscription engraved on the handle of the scepter also made Wren's heart even more worried.

Zhuo Gong asked in a deep voice.

【Ebony Body (Non-Complete)】

Due to the fact that the same bonus does not stack, Wren with a +1 Defense Ring cannot equip another +1 Defense Bracer, so he gives this Defense Bracer to Angelica, and he gets the +2 Charisma Cloak.

"This action costs 500 XP from yourself!"

[HP: 335 HP]

That's a bit of a hassle......

[Creature Level: 18]

"It's useless to think so much now, and then you can only take one step at a time." Leorina comforted Wren, "Let's see what the loot is first, and then leave this copper mine and return to Rahal City as soon as possible. We have to report this to the Lord's Palace. There is already evidence that neither Ragnorin Shenshi nor Barabbas Stemnko have a connection to the Ebony Society!"

But Wren was not feeling well, the strength of the other party was far beyond his own, and he felt his body fly as if he had been hit by a boulder, and then slammed into a raised rock.

"The silver dragon that I lured into the darkness, but never wanted to escape from it? Hmph!" The soul flame in Zhuo Gongxi's eyes suddenly swayed violently, obviously mentioning the other party, he was not in a very good mood, "She said that leaving Silver Moon City for too long would arouse the suspicion of that lady, so she left yesterday."

"Is the target organism scanned to obtain its underlying data?"

Obviously, this scepter was created and configured by the Faceless Ones specifically for their clones, which means that the Faceless Ones' caster level is at least 17!

….

Because, one of the necessary conditions for making a super demon scepter is that the caster level of the maker must be level 17!

The scepter, along with the Lightning Beam Scroll, naturally fell into the hands of the only caster in the team, Leolina.

"Roar!"

Wren only felt that his eyes were dark, but in the next moment, his vision had regained.

Angelica bent her bow and arrows, shooting long arrows one after another, hoping to slow down the opponent's advance, but the monster used all four arms to strike aside.

"Consume 500 XP!"

Although the quantity is not large, it is the most valuable, especially the second-level Super Demon Delay Scepter, which sells for up to 3,000 Golden Eagle Coins.

"It's nothing, it's just that my clone was killed by a bunch of imps."

"So, what's that?"

Miss Ranger's face changed instantly.

But Wren had no room for bargaining at this time, he gritted his teeth and chose to pay.

"Scan successful!"

"Sister Leo is right, those two guys aren't good people!"

In the temple, a blasphemous object made of black liquid was slowly crawling out of the pool in the center of the temple.

A secondary Hypermagic Delay Staff, a +1 Defense Bracer, a +2 Charm Cloak, and a foil

Electro Beam Scroll, and four potions for minor injuries.

The appearance of the simulacrum clone means that they will have to face at least one high-level mage who has reached the level of 14 caster in the future!

"Wren, be careful, this guy has so thick skin!"

"By the way, what about the woman Lashena, why didn't you see her?"

"Start scanning!"

【Large Otherworldly Creature (Evil)】

"Don't worry, that little *** can't escape my control, let her do it in the Misty Swamp. Subordinates, isn't it just for doing things? You don't need to be distracted now, Faceless, just stay in my palace for the time being, and study the strange dark power. Time is always on our side in this matter!"

"So, that's the end of it?"

500 points?

It's too expensive, isn't it?

"The doppelganger you left in the copper mines of Rahar City is gone? Doesn't that mean that the layout there will be discovered by those Destiny Legends in the city? Will that affect your plans?"
