The Shadow of the Underworld.

Above the maelstrom of the River Styx, hangs a city in the sky.

Thick, dark green roots, like powerful arms.

Entangle the city of Twilight and stop it, along with its tens of thousands of inhabitants, from plunging into the dark vortex of the River Styx.

Many green branches grow from the roots of the tree, and they climb along the slender tower-shaped structure in the style of the elves.

Some of these vines are still flowering and bearing fruit in the underworld.

The World Tree fruit, which looks like a huge golden apple.

Each one is radiating brilliance, like a small sun that never falls, dispelling the darkness of the underworld and injecting hope into people's hearts.

Under the natural dome intertwined with the vines of the World Tree, four Star Guardians, bathed in soft light, were walking and chatting.

Tauna looked Helent up and down, feeling unfamiliar with the redhead woman in a snow-white robe with the emblem of holy light.

I couldn't help but be curious, so I simply inquired in person.

"Sister Helent! As a demonic warlock, how did you infiltrate the Church of Light and become an 'Apostle of Light'! ”

"Sister Tauna, the Warlock bloodline only represents my origin, and does not define my beliefs and concepts of good and evil."

Helent explained calmly.

"As long as you are dedicated to goodness, even a succubus with pure blood can become a holy warrior and contribute to the cause of justice."

"What's more, I am nothing more than a sorcerer with a high succubus bloodline, who yearns for the light with all his heart, and touches my lord with all my piety and bestows upon me divine grace."

Felin listened and sneered as he interrupted her.

"Senior sister! Tauna is not the object of your preaching, let alone a lost lamb, please take care of it! ”

"Between friends, don't make up this set of empty heads, can't you tell the truth!"

Helen smirked.

"I'm sorry, but I ...... with an occupational disease"

"Actually, what I just said is the truth, and I really want to join the 'Holy Light Church'."

"You may not understand that a person like me, who has demonic blood in his veins, has a special yearning for a pure and holy cause."

"With my origins, it stands to reason that I cannot get a recommendation from the Church to become an apostle of Light."

"But I'm lucky enough to be selected by my lord."

"My lord's past life was my apprentice at the Warlock Academy, and we spent some time together on the ship......"

"Of course I know, but Ingres doesn't have any friendship with you, does he?" Tao Na asked relentlessly.

This question is really embarrassing for Helent.

The red-haired girl rolled her watery eyes, intending to make up a set of rhetoric and prevaricate the past with dignity.

At this time, Fei Lin took over the conversation with a grin.

"Senior Sister Helent and Angel, not only did they not have a relationship, but when they were on the boat, they also held a grudge against him because of their attempt to hook up with Angels!"

"If it weren't for Allen's maintenance, she would definitely have to find an opportunity to put on Angel's shoes and vent her evil anger!"

Now Helent really can't hold back.

Unable to maintain the graceful demeanor of the goddess officer anymore, she stomped her feet and angrily reprimanded Fei Lin: "Little fat man, shut your mouth!" What good can you do to expose my old bottom?! ”

Ferin ignored her complaints and continued to break the news.

"To put it bluntly, the reason why His Highness Guang made an exception to recruit Senior Sister Helent into our church is entirely for Allen's face, after all, Senior Sister and Alan have a ...... leg."

"Actually, it's not Sister Guang, as long as it's Allen's relatives and friends, they will get special care from His Highness Light, and I'm also stained with light."

"I'm also a friend of Allen, why didn't you take care of me?"

Tauna's face was full of grievances.

Helent rolled her eyes at her and retorted angrily:

"You chose to join the Church of Life, who did you complain about?"

As soon as the words came out, he realized that Qinglan was following behind, and hurriedly closed his voice, thinking about changing the topic quickly.

Qinglan smiled lightly, unimpressed.

"The Church of Life and the Church of Light are like a pair of sisters, but don't be factional and treat each other as outsiders."

Tauna, Ferrin and Helent nodded in agreement, but they knew in their hearts that sisters could have conflicts, and how could two churches with different philosophies have no trouble?

Only by facing a common enemy and being bound together by common interests can we maintain deep cooperation in Twilight City.

Qinglan groaned, and then said to Tauna:

"Actually, you have also been cared for by His Highness Light."

"It's not a coincidence that the day after Your Highness greeted Her Majesty the Empress, you were included in the church's list of key cultivators."

Tao Na nodded abruptly and muttered, "That kid Alan has been missing for a whole year, and I don't know what I'm busy with and what level of cultivation I've reached." ”

Over the past year, everyone has been practicing hard.

In the late stage of Tao Na's sixth order, it is not far off to break through the seventh order.

But she was not in a hurry to break through, she planned to improve her bloodline potential first, hoping that after ascending to the seventh order, she would be able to awaken the transcendent realm as quickly as possible.

Fei Lin and Helent are both in the early stage of the sixth order.

Qinglan, the senior sister, crossed the ninth-order threshold not long ago and obtained an additional over-limit position.

Even if she encounters a nine-headed poisonous dragon, she has the confidence to go it alone.

From the nine-headed poisonous dragon, Qing Lan once again thought of Allen.

A year ago, when Eren was just a seventh-order warlock, she was shocked to kill the nine-headed poisonous dragon in a melee!

It's no wonder that Tauna, Ferrin and Helent all mention him with a heartfelt adoration.

It is no wonder that His Highness Guang and His Highness Hua are particularly concerned about this person.

Qinglan is a very proud person.

She is a source to be proud of.

But when she saw Alan, she realized that there are young people in this world who are more talented than herself.

The Holy Demon Ancestral Court, as well as the Sect Master who has not yet been reincarnated.

Among them, the most urgent positions to be filled are the "Lord of the Wind" and the "Lord of Death".

Qinglan originally felt that she had a chance to enter the sequence of the alternate sect master and get focused training.

Now it seems that Allen is the long-awaited number one candidate.

Qinglan's bloodline phase is unlikely to fuse with the "Origin of Death" and reincarnate as the "Lord of Death".

If Alan is also not interested in the suzerain of the "City of Memory", he intends to merge the "Wind Origin......

Qinglan has no hope at all!

When I think about this, I can't help but feel a little lost.

At this moment, a magic alarm suddenly sounded over the city!

Everyone stopped, and their faces changed.

The roots of the World Tree that entwined Dawn City, along with the rattans and leaves that grew from the roots, were emitting magical brilliance, forming a shining spherical shield that protected the city.

This is the Lost Lock Enchantment that the World Tree spontaneously opens when faced with a crisis.

The following creatures of the Legend are not authorized to enter the Lock-shrouded Twilight City.

According to past experience, most of the enemies who come to attack are the undead or evil spirits wandering in the underworld.

Such enemies, as a rule, pose little threat.

The city's armed forces of the "Church of Life" and the "Church of Light" clergy are able to deal with it easily under the protection of the Lost Barrier.

Occasionally, a large group of poisonous dragons will rush out of the whirlpool of the River Styx and frantically gnaw at the roots of the World Tree.

A threat of this level is not something that the residents of Dawn City can resist on their own.

Qinglan and the others are stationed in Dawn City just to prevent this situation.

The crowd hurried to the enemy's attack zone.

Sure enough, hordes of purple poisonous dragons rushed out of the Styx whirlpool and were rushing towards Twilight.

The poisonous dragon clan is mostly a seventh-order or eighth-order.

Unable to break through the barrier formed by the World Tree's mystical lock, break into the city and cause trouble.

However, this does not mean that city dwellers are at ease.

The dragon's minions, soaked in poison, are one of the few in the world that can harm the World Tree and prevent the wounds from healing.

Because of this, the Poison Dragon Clan has been regarded as the number one enemy by the "Church of Life" since ancient times, and they are feared and disgusted to call them "moths that corrode the World Tree".

It's not the first time that Tauna, Ferrin, and Helent have participated in the battle against the attack of the poisonous dragon.

Calmly unleashed the Galaxy Ring and sent an application to the Lost Lock Center to establish a spiritual link.

In the blink of an eye, everyone's application was approved, and they were given permission to invoke the magic of the Lost Lock.

In this state, the magic power spent by everyone to perform magic and magic skills is provided by the Lost Lock.

In addition, the Galactic Guardians also have the right to invoke spells and special skills mounted on the Lost Lock.

The call permission is equivalent to its own rank + star rating.

Felin, Tauna, and Helent are all sixth-order warlocks and two-star Galaxy Guardians.

Therefore, the three of them can invoke up to 8 rings of spells, which is already far beyond their own spell casting ability.

The World Tree Mystery Lock, which is maintained by the "Church of Life" and the "Church of Light".

Most of the spells mounted on the Mystery Lock are natural, heal, and light, which is perfect for fighting against demons, undead, and poisonous dragons in the underworld.

Tauna raised her hand, her blue eyes shining with rage.

The blazing flames turned into a storm and blasted towards the dragon.

Poisonous dragons belong to the water subspecies and are naturally afraid of fire.

The 7-ring spell "Firestorm" unleashed by Tauna kills the poisonous dragon while preventing the wound from regenerating.

Another benefit of the "Firestorm" is that it will not cause damage to the roots of the world trees around the poisonous dragon, so you can safely and boldly bombard indiscriminately.

Ferrin and Helent, both holding the emblem in their hands, recited a prayer in praise of the "Holy Light".

Draw the magic from the Mystery Lock and unleash the same magic.

8 rings of "Yang Yan Burst"!

A huge ball of light bursts out in the night sky of the underworld.

It was as if two scorching suns had risen.

Many poisonous dragons were blinded by the bright light in an instant, and they wailed in pain.

The scales of his body were burned by the high temperature, and the blood mist was steaming and snorting.

At the same time, in all corners of the city, elite priests from the two major churches also rushed to join the battle.

Their rank is not more than the fifth order.

However, within the Lost Lock Enchantment, it can also invoke 6 rings of magic to inflict damage on poisonous dragons.

As the battle continues, the enchantment is lost and the energy consumption is huge.

The golden fruit on the vine is darkening.

These golden fruits are like a "battery" that is locked in a puzzle.

If the battle goes on for too long, the mana will run out, the fruit will wither and wither, and the World Tree Lock will become incapacitated and collapse.

In order to avoid this terrible situation, the battle must be ended before the mana runs out to buy time for the Lost Lock to recharge.

Qinglan knows this.

She doesn't have the cast permission to invoke the Lock.

The World Tree Mystery Lock, the mounted spell, the highest is 9 rings.

Her own spellcasting ability has reached the same level.

Qinglan opens the "Everspring Domain" and mounts the 2-ring spell "Protective Toxin", which exceeds the limit to 9 rings, and can resist and remove all toxins that do not exceed level 9.

The radial radius of the "Everspring Domain" is as far as 9 kilometers, even beyond the coverage area of the Lost Lock Barrier.

The root of the World Tree, which is being bitten by a poisonous dragon, is blessed with the "Over-Limit Protection Toxin", and the wound turns from purple to tender green, expelling venom and rejuvenating.

The second over-limit position, Qinglan is equipped with an "anti-living animal shield".

This 6-ring spell, after exceeding the limit to 9 rings, forcibly pushed away the poisonous dragon that was clinging to the root of the world tree and gnawed its head.

Until it pops out of the realm of Haruman.

The "Overrun Anti-Living Guard" is like adding a circle of shields to the World Tree Enchantment.

A handful of poisonous dragons who are good at teleporting magic can bypass this layer of jade-colored force field shield and teleport in directly.

Seeing this scene, Qinglan smiled indifferently.

It is planned to use the last over-limit position to mount the 8-ring "dimensional lock".

In this way, the poisonous dragons outside the realm cannot teleport in, and the poisonous dragons that have already entered cannot teleport and escape, so they can only leave their lives behind.

However, before she could complete the spell casting process, something suddenly happened outside the city!

In the depths of the whirlpool of the River Styx, a terrifying roar was heard.

From far to near, it gradually becomes sharper.

The moment everyone in the city, including Qinglan, heard the roar, it was pitch black in front of them, and their ears fell silent.

The senses of touch, smell and taste have also disappeared one after another.

All that is left is the thought in the head, and it can barely keep running.

In a state of loss of all five senses, a clear mind is a kind of torture that only deepens the fear of the unknown.

Qinglan was the first to come back to her senses.

Realize that you and your companions have been poisoned by the Leviathan!

However......

Twilight is protected by the World Tree Lock, which isolates toxins from the outside world.

What's more, her "over-limit protection toxin" is still in effect, adding another layer of insurance.

How could the poisonous dragon break through these two lines of protection and instantly poison all the residents of the city?

Qinglan barely managed to keep her composure, her mind running at full speed.

In the blink of an eye, an extremely terrible explanation came to mind.

The collective poisoning of everyone came from hearing the dragon's roar!

After being poisoned, all five senses are lost, indicating that the Leviathan toxin has exceeded the upper limit of resistance of the Mystery Lock and the "Over-Limit Protection Toxin" and has reached the legendary level!

The reason why I and my companions can still stay conscious is because the 9-ring "over-limit protective toxin" still has some anti-poison effects after all.

Level 9 Leviathan toxin, which can poison the gaze through the gaze of the poisonous dragon.

The legendary Leviathan toxin, on this basis, the infection efficiency is further enhanced!

The victim doesn't even need to make eye contact with the legendary poison dragon, just see, hear, or smell the other person's figure, movement, and breath from a distance, and they will be poisoned!

Passively transmitted through the five senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch, this is the horror of the legendary Leviathan toxin.

"Could it be that monster......

Qinglan endured her heart palpitations, and used the last field to over-limit the "Eyes of the Hearts of the Group".

This spell allows the recipient to replace the vision with spiritual power when the receiver loses his vision, and the reality is projected into his mind.

The "Eyes of the Soul of the Transcendent Group" are blessed on the residents of the city through the "Everspring Domain".

The people whose vision has fallen into darkness finally "see" the incoming enemy.

What a monster that is!

From start to finish, more than 1,000 feet!

The scales soaked in the water of the River Styx, purple and black, shimmer with a dizzying sheen.

The head of the monster, resembling a dragon, raised its horns.

The body of the monster is winding in the air, like a giant python.

The monster's tail, flattened and bifurcated, resembles a whale's tail.

What level of poison dragon is that......?!

Felin, Tauna, Helent, and others had the same question in their minds.

Legendary poison dragon Nid Hogg!

Qinglan's heart shook wildly, and her hairs stood on end!

Nidhogg, the lineage of the Ancestor Leviathan, the patriarch of the Styx Poison Dragons!

Legend has it that Nidhogg was in a deep pit at the bottom of the River Styx, where he had been dormant for hundreds of years.

Unexpectedly, this old monster actually woke up and personally launched an attack on Twilight City!

Just when Qinglan and the others were at a loss, Nidhogg had already opened up the legendary-level transcendent realm.

A huge purple vortex, centered on where he was, rapidly expanded outward.

It collided violently with Qinglan's "Everspring Domain", almost crushing the latter.

Burst!!

Qinglan spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The headache caused by the magic backlash caused her to almost pass out on the spot.

His blood-colored fingers trembled and grasped the Galaxy Ring.

Now she was thinking only about one thing......

Send a letter to Luo Tianhua, the "Lord of Life", as soon as possible, and ask for support!

However, a roar from Nidhogg interrupted her movements.

The terrifying aura of the legendary poisonous dragon, accompanied by a roar, pierced the defense line of will, causing Qinglan to fall into an indescribable panic.

The strength was not as good as hers, and she was so frightened that she collapsed on the spot and couldn't move.

After scaring off the guards, the legendary poison dragon swaggered through the maze barrier, opened its greedy mouth, and inhaled deeply.

Many of the World Tree roots, torn apart by the raging air currents, flew into Nidhogg's mouth.

Storm-hit Dawn City shook violently.

The golden apples hanging from the branches are also crumbling and may fall off at any time.

The legendary poison dragon munched on the roots of the World Tree, juice flowing from the corners of his mouth, and a look of satisfaction in his eyes as he enjoyed the food.

At this moment, a flash of lightning streaked across the night sky of the underworld.

With the rumbling thunder, a figure flashed quickly.

Boom!!

The sudden figure slammed into Nidhogg.

As if a hammer had been struck, the legendary poisonous dragon rolled on its head.

Steady himself, volleyed into a snake formation, and stared viciously at the guy who interrupted his meal.

Qinglan and the others, also looked at the uninvited guest with curiosity and awe through the "eyes of the heart".

Looks like a Titan.

However, he is four times as tall as a normal Titan!

The upper body is covered with gorgeous pale blue scale armor.

Muscular arms attached to hideous claws.

Long purple hair dances wildly in the wind.

The tips of his hair turned into nine poisonous dragons spitting purple smoke!

Above his head, a pitch-black sphere floated, like a sun blackened by ink.

On one person's body, the bloodline characteristics of the three desolate aliens of Titan, Beamon and Leviathan are fused, exuding a terrifying, majestic and inexplicably fascinating aura.

Qinglan was dumbfounded, her cheeks bloodshot and hot.

The heart can't help pounding, almost bursting through the chest!

The mysterious giant, roaring in the sky.

The "Overlord Battle Cry" originated from the blood of Beamon, resounding in the sky above the city.

Hearing his roar, Qinglan and the others suddenly felt refreshed.

The fear caused by the legendary poison dragon was instantly dispelled by the war cry.

Looking up again, the mysterious giant has already wrestled with the legendary poisonous dragon.

The mysterious giant is indeed majestic, but it is still too thin compared to the thousand-foot poisonous dragon.

Soon he was entangled by Nidhogg and strangled to death.

Like a rabbit entangled in a python, it looks so helpless......

In this level of fighting, Fei Lin and the others can't intervene.

Qinglan settled down and quickly adjusted the field overlimit.

Remove the "anti-living animal shield" and mount it with "group movement freedom" instead.

The golden magic radiance spreads to the mysterious giant, helping him successfully escape the entanglement of the legendary poisonous dragon.

This fierce man did not take the opportunity to escape.

Instead, he pounced bravely, holding a flawless magic shell in each hand!

The "Flawless Black Magic Shell" in his left hand exploded violently, releasing a high concentration of negative energy.

The nine-headed poisonous dragon transformed into a giant with long hair, replaced the spell casting with a hissing roar, and collectively launched the "Apoptosis Technique"!

The nine-headed poisonous dragon bloodline, combined with the 9th-order distraction meditation method, can cast nine spells at the same time!

The 8-ring "Death Technique" has been strengthened by the "Flawless Black Magic Shell" and upgraded to the legendary level.

Nine superimposed and slammed into Nidhogg.

Coupled with the double damage of the "Death Technique" to aquatic creatures, it is enough to wreak havoc on this legendary poisonous dragon.

Nidhogg's scales were dry and cracked, and the poisonous blood splattered from the wound was greedily sucked by the gluttonous black ball in the blink of an eye, and pressed the wound to spew out more blood.

Nidhogg writhed in pain and roared.

A legend is a legend after all.

Received such a heavy blow and did not lose combat effectiveness.

The dragon suddenly lowered its head and bit down on the mysterious giant.

Fangs tear through scales, sink into flesh, and crush bones!

Nidhogg's throat squirmed, swallowing his prey into his mouth section by piece.

Just when Qinglan and the others were dumbfounded, their hearts almost rose to their throats......

The mysterious giant suddenly raised his right hand and slammed a punch into the legendary dragon's jaw.

"Burst Divine Power", suddenly erupted!

Strengthened by the Flawless Thunder Monster, blow up Nidhogg's head on the spot!

However, at the same time, the upper body of the mysterious giant, which was held in the mouth of the legendary poison dragon, also turned into primordial dust......

The headless body of the legendary poisonous dragon, wrapped in the broken remains of the mysterious giant, slid downward with the rain of blood......

Just as everyone watched in amazement, they disappeared into the depths of the Whirlpool.
