……

In the endless darkness, Matthew seemed to be transformed into a flying insect.

The world is made up of black and white.

The mottled hues gradually condensed into substances, and he instinctively moved forward, encountering one fork in the road after another.

It's like a labyrinth.

Matthew tried to look up, but could only see a small part of the view.

He couldn't even control his body, he could only follow the faint flow of air.

A moment later.

He stopped against a stone wall.

Not far away in the labyrinth stands a huge locust tree.

On the branches of the locust tree.

Sitting sat two guys in black cloaks and white masks, whose lower bodies were so empty that they could barely be seen.

Matthew couldn't see more details.

But he could hear the conversation between them clearly.

One of them:

"The bloodline of the Thousand Changelings is revival, the troll empire and barbarian tribes in the north are also re-emerging, and although the evil dragon is difficult to achieve, the nourishment poured out of the ruins above the clouds is enough to breed more evil. I'm afraid the upcoming situation is not something that the Seven Saints Alliance can control. ”

The other man's voice was a little more immature:

"What about the beasts? Isn't it rumored that they're fast too? ”

The Older Ones:

"I've heard that the behemoths aren't that fast, they have to change in odd days, but it will take time for them to change in odd days. The most important thing is to look at Ronan. ”

The other man asked:

"What's Ronan's situation now?"

Older Answers:

"I don't know, no one knew which force did it to Ronan before, but the news that came out of the Seven Saints Alliance recently seems to have been done by Isabel."

The young man was surprised:

"Why would Isabel want to do something to her own students?"

The older ones are not surprised:

"I've said that I've heard about it, and the hearsay is not sure to be fake. Even if it's true, it's not unusual. Those who have been in the high position of the world for a long time will surely go crazy if they fail to break through for a long time.

Isabel estimates that like the original sun god, she has been a god mage for too long, and she has seen the power of the natural disaster mage, so she is naturally unwilling to be lonely.

But no one can say exactly how to move towards natural disasters.

The dilemma of the Seven Saints Alliance is also here.

Their situation is actually the same as that of the poor insects in Tianlun Palace, the difference is that before the mages have time to grow to the top of the world, they are about to go completely crazy one after another. ”

The young man sighed:

"It seems that in the face of the changes of the next era, we have a great opportunity in the Spirit Touch Hall."

The elder proudly said:

"Of course, the Spirit Touch Hall is the most powerful force in the Raven Pavilion Demon Domain, and with Viscount Fan here, we are bound to unify the Demon Domain within many years of one Ain."

"Viscount Fan has summoned ten thousand night canopy ghosts, three thousand vampires, and countless other creatures, he is the most powerful king of the Demon Domain!"

The young man also puffed out his chest:

"It's a privilege to think that we're also working under Viscount Fan! Eh, you say......"

He wasn't done yet.

An angry curse came from afar:

"You two little ghosts are lazy again? Why don't you hurry up and deliver today's evening mail? ”

"If I delay Viscount Fan's matter, I will have to scatter your soul!"

The two little ghosts suddenly disappeared from the locust tree.

Soon after.

Matthew saw a headless horseman descend from above the labyrinth with a carriage.

He stopped on the locust tree for a while, looked around vigilantly, and after a moment he said respectfully in the direction of the carriage:

"Princess, please get out of the car."

The curtain was lifted by a white hand.

Before Matthew could see the princess in full view, the Headless Horseman suddenly headed in Matthew's direction:

"Who?"

"A little bug?"

In a flash.

A powerful force struck Matthew's face door.

He only felt a pain in his forehead.

There was a "huh" sound in my ears - it was a rather nice female voice.

Followed by.

His consciousness returned to his body.

……

"Hint: You have ventured into the Eroded Realm, and overheard information about the 'Psicotouch Hall'.

In return for stepping into the field, you'll gain two of the following three abilities –

1. Eclipse Fire: Designate one of your fingers as the firing end of the Eclipse Fire, and then you can release a cloud of eroded fire from the tip of that finger without chanting.

This flame can deal a large amount of magic damage in an instant, and for the next ten minutes, it will deal 2~3 eclipse damage per minute to enemies.

Notes: There is no daily cast limit for Eclipse Fire, but if you cast too many times, your finger may turn black and hard.

2. Intoxicating Whispering: You can whisper to a target through the Eclipse Realm, and if the opponent's immunity fails, you will enter a drunken state.

The drunken state will last for thirty minutes.

3. Spell Canceldown: You can pay the same amount of mana to cancel out a spell that the target is casting.

Note: This spell level must not exceed the first tier of your own level.

It can be used twice a day."

……

"Soul Touch Hall?"

"Sounds like an organization from the Raven Pavilion's Demon Domain, and their leader is a viscount surnamed Fan? Did the Raven Pavilion have a knighthood in its social system, or was he a vampire? ”

"In addition, the materialization of the Eroded Realm and the Grave Realm are both located in the Raven Pavilion Demon Domain......"

Matthew silently jotted down what he had just heard.

Then I looked at the data bar.

Today's luck was nothing short of spectacular.

Not only did he enter the realm in one fell swoop, but it seems that he also went deeper and could obtain two abilities.

Matthew groaned for a moment and chose one and three.

"Eclipse Fire" is a cost-effective offensive spell ability that values the continuous health deduction from eclipse damage more than the direct damage it can deal.

Although it is not much, it can also enrich his offensive strategy.

Needless to say, "Spell Canceldown" is a bit worse than countermeasures and rebounds, and this is also a good back-hand, so there's no reason not to take it.

As for "intoxicating whispers".

This ability is actually a bit interesting, and Matthew learned from it that the Eclipse Realm also seems to contain elements such as "drunkenness", "alcohol", and "lethargy".

This field is relatively unpopular.

Correspondingly, when using the ability in the unpopular field, you can also get more unexpected effects.

In addition, exploring the Eroded Realm gives Matthew a permanent status.

"Eclipse Resistance: Your Body's Resistance to Eclipse Damage +10;

Drunk Resistance +5;

+5 Sleepy Resistance

Matthew looked at the Eclipse Orb in his hand.

The negative energy glow on it had dimmed by about a third.

After tasting the sweetness, he changed his mind and planned to play with it more often in the future.

Matthew is not only aiming for the domain ability, he is more concerned about his consciousness being able to enter the Raven Pavilion Demon Domain relatively safely when exploring the domain.

This time it's attached to a small bug, and if it attaches to a more mobile creature every time, it may be more rewarding.

……

When Matthew came to his senses.

Margaret was standing in front of him munching melon seeds, and sprinkled a field of melon seed shells underneath:

"This comprehends a realm?"

Matthew nodded.

"I'm really convinced of a genius like you."

Margaret did not hide her envy in the slightest:

"At first, I also thought I was a genius and wanted to rely on my own strength to comprehend the field and ability, but then I realized that I was thinking too much.

Some people can enter the realm casually, no different from visiting a brothel;

And I worked hard but I could only get in half, and I had to find someone else to help push it.

If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have chosen to start with two million in debt. ”

Matthew coughed lightly:

"It's just a matter of luck today."

"Just today?"

Margaret slammed a few melon seeds fiercely, as if it was Matthew in her mouth:

"Forget it, envy can't come, if you don't have some talent, how can you be favored by Lady Isabel?

Let's jump right into the review.

First of all, I need to point out that in the stage where you and the old bone dragon are pulling, any door is a unnecessary link.

What do you gain from any door?

No.

Instead, you're wasting a shoe and a sock.

This provocation seems to me to be purely superfluous.

You could have just killed him. ”

Matthew nodded humbly:

"That's right. But I've never used any door in actual combat, so I want to borrow him to practice my skills. ”

Margaret rolled her eyes:

"If that's the case, it's understandable, and I can't fault anything else.

But I can recommend some spells to you, and if you can master and use them, you will be more comfortable against the skull dragon you just had.

The first one is "Flying". There is no doubt about the importance of flying arts, and the second-order of low-level flying skills can be learned, but the effect is very poor.

The requirements for the Intermediate Flying Technique are the third order, and the effect is equally average.

If your level rises soon, then I recommend that you go straight after the fourth rank to learn "Isabel Flying".

It's an experience you'll never forget.

The second is a fourth-order spell called "Howl of Broken Bones", which should be able to be learned in advance as long as you have mastered the necromancy-related field.

This spell is designed to fight against the undead of the skeleton system.

If it was a fifth-order mage who cast a full-effect Bone Shattering Howl, it could directly blast that skull dragon into pieces.

Conversely, as a necromancer, if you rely on the combat power of your skeleton-based undead, then you'll have to figure out how to increase their resistance in this area-

The main thing is the ability to resist sound waves.

The third is not a spell, but an ability called "natural casting".

I see that you have the wilderness form of the Anemo Pterodactyl, and that's good.

However, when you use the Death Blaster, you must take on a human form to get close to your opponent, and there is actually a bit of a security hazard here.

If you can use some of the spells in Anemo Pterodactyl form, then this problem will be solved.

Natural casting: This ability allows you to cast spells in your wilderness form.

However, this ability is so rare that even my teacher can't buy it.

You'll have to go to a veteran Grand Druid.

In fact, there are many similar ideas, you can expand your thinking after class, I only provide a few suggestions here. ”

As soon as Matthew listened to the class, he felt that something was wrong:

"That's the end of the hands-on class?"

"I haven't finished the effect yet!"

Margaret swallowed the last melon seed, and then said leisurely:

"You watch me kill an undead creature, I watch you kill an undead creature, and then review, the above is all the content of this practical class."

"If you feel that it is hard to come to the negative energy plane and want to fight for a while, you can add the bell."

Matthew tentatively asked:

"Gold or points?"

Margaret asked rhetorically:

"Do you have any gold coins?"

Matthew was silent.

"One point, three monsters, including a review, but also an escort, the price is preferential, if you can add a few more hours in one breath, I can also give you a discount."

Margaret smiled and said:

"Isn't it true that the effect of the medicine has not been dissipated, as long as you can get five points, I can even go into battle to disperse it for you personally!"

Matthew looked at her malicious smile and quickly refused.

Now he is definitely not Margaret's opponent, but even if the two sides fight to the death, it is estimated that it will be a draw.

After all, he has Isabelle's patronus in him, and Margaret also has Suriel's patronus nine out of nine.

Everyone is a student of the mage, so let's be honest teammates!

At the moment, Matthew expressed his willingness to add the bell.

Knowledge points are not so precious to him, compared to Margaret's company and guidance, it is more important.

Matthew felt it when he was fighting the old bone dragon, as if a wonderful power was awakening in his body.

I don't know if it's due to the efficacy of the drug or chance.

In short, today, he must not let Margaret go!

"Very good, I just like a motivated student like you!"

"Come on, work hard, try to catch up with me as soon as possible, and then take care of me!"

Margaret smiled lightly:

"It's just a pity that there don't seem to be particularly powerful monsters around here that can give you practice, those four guys are all undead kings registered in the alliance, if they keep coercing, it's not convenient for us to attack them."

"I'm going to have to go a little further and find you some equal opponents."

Matthew shook his head and said:

"Don't worry, let's go see the territory of the old bone dragon first, and then I have to help my pet be promoted to king."

"After that, let's go again."

Margaret looked at Matthew in amazement:

"Didn't you say you couldn't hold it back?"

Matthew said honestly:

"It's true that I can't hold it anymore, and I've always wanted to find someone to fight, but when I think that there may be treasures in the territory of the old bone dragon, this urge is not so strong."

"It's more important to pack up the loot, and the fight can be postponed a little!"

……

Led by the bone pigeon, they soon came to the territory of the old bone dragon, which was a leeward basin at the foot of the King's Mountain.

It's a pity that everything here is a disappointment for Matthew.

As far as the eye can see, there is nothing left in the basin except for some of the lowest undead.

Even on a hill full of glass shards and ashes, where the old bone dragon lived, Matthew couldn't find anything of value.

Except for a fluffy dragon scale.

The dragon scale was casually thrown aside, covered with a thick layer of dust, and if it weren't for Matthew's sharp eyes, he would have almost leaked it.

This is obviously a dragon scale that has gone through a long time, probably from the corpse of the old bone dragon before it was alive.

Even though the scales had deteriorated, Matthew put them away, intending to study them in detail in the future.

And while Matthew and his party were cleaning up the loot of the old bone dragon.

Xiao Boiling also rushed over.

He lowered his haughty head and looked at Matthew expectantly.

Matthew took advantage of the situation and made good on his promise.

He took out the bottle containing the remnants of the old bone dragon's soul fire, opened it up and let Xiao Boiling suck it.

But Xiao Boiling is also very sensible.

When he was halfway through, he stopped.

Followed by.

A series of mutations began in his body.

The color of the virtual dragon scales, which had been clinging to the underside of the ribs, became darker.

The faint green light spread out like water waves, growing rapidly like moss.

Soon, the virtual dragon scales completely wrapped Xiao Boil's lower body.

At the same time, long feathers also grew on Xiao Boil's back, which were yellowish-white, a bit like duck down but much rougher to the touch.

Matthew stood on Xiao Boil's back, observing the other changes in the bone dragon's body-

The bones became tighter, and a thin film of blood appeared on the chest, and feathers resembling eild grew on the outside of the blood film.

The head was also covered with more virtual dragon scales, and the originally hollow eye sockets were covered with a white membrane.

If you say before, you can see Xiao Boil's soul fire through your eyes at a glance.

Now, from the same angle, you can only see a little bit of dark green light.

And on the data bar.

The change of small boiling is more intuitive -

……

"Hint: Your summon Philorius has won the War of Kings!

He has devoured enough remnants of soul fire to complete the advancement of the King's Template......

Philorius' level has been increased to LV18.

Power +1 for Philorius.

Philorius gained two new abilities: "Lord of the Six Rings" and "Shadow Realm".

Lord of the Six Rings: Philorius has officially become the king of the land of the Six Rings of the negative energy plane, and is eligible to gain a territory on the Mountain of Kings.

He has obtained a "Six-Ring Emblem", and when the energy on the Emblem is full, he will have the opportunity to travel to the Land of the Five Rings.

Phantom Realm: Philorius first entered the "Phantom Realm" (the realm where shadow and negative energy meet), and gained abilities such as "Phantom Stealth", "Phantom Summon", and "High Phantom"!

……

Philorius is grateful for your efforts in the War of Kings.

His loyalty to you has been increased to 105 and he has shared with you the ability "High Phantom"!

High Phantasm (Weakened): You can summon an illusion that looks exactly like you for 30 minutes.

During this time, you can use your mental power to manipulate his movements.

The Phantom cannot deal substantial damage and must stay within 100 meters of you.

If you are attacked while the Phantom is active, no matter how far away the Phantom is, it will instantly appear by your side to fend off the attack.

For the next three seconds, your body will partially ghost, and you will receive 30% damage reduction."

……

It's OK.

Matthew took a look at Xiao Boil's genuine high-level phantom and found that his phantom could withstand three damages, and the damage reduction after phantom transformation was 60%.

After becoming a king, Xiao Boiling became even more majestic.

His appearance has also taken a big step from a bone dragon to a ghost dragon.

This is completely contrary to common sense.

You know, ghost dragons can usually only be transformed from real dragons, how can any bone dragon advance into a ghost dragon?

But Xiao Boil's unbelievable things don't stop there.

Matthew noticed that the fluff on his back resembled the feathers that ancient dinosaurs had in their early evolutionary years.

In particular, it is very similar to his Aeolian pterosaur feathers.

If there is indeed some correlation between the two.

Then Xiao Boil's strength improvement and appearance change are not so much upgrades, but more like an evolution.

Margaret apparently saw this too.

Her eyes were fixed on Philorius, and she subconsciously bit her lip twice, and then asked Matthew:

"Do you sell this skull dragon?"

Matthew deftly asked rhetorically:

"Do you have any money?"

Margaret looked at him with tears in her eyes:

"Don't be like that, this skull dragon is quite chic."

Matthew was unfazed and reminded:

"We're ready to go, and the rest of the matter here can be left to my pet."

Margaret stomped her feet angrily:

"Don't look down on people!"

"When I pay off the money I owe to my teacher and girlfriends, I'll buy your little chic and big chic!"

"Don't laugh, when I have money, I'll buy it with you!"

Matthew had a strange look on his face, trying not to laugh out loud.

The bone pigeon looked at Margaret affectionately:

"Lady Margaret, I'm waiting for you to redeem me!"

Xiao Fei immediately looked at him suspiciously when he heard this.

The bone pigeon is not afraid:

"What's wrong, Xiao Boil? Why are your eyes full of doubts? ”

"Didn't you hear that the master's master and Lady Margaret were going on a crusade against other monsters? Hurry up and present something good, don't delay the two of them! ”

Xiao Fei suddenly shook his head like a rattle, indicating that he didn't have anything good.

The bone pigeon hates the number of iron that does not become steel:

"Isn't there still an immortal holy spring in your own territory?

Hurry up and dig them all out and send them over!

You are both kings now, and with these two escorts in the future, are you still afraid that there will be a shortage of immortal holy springs?

No other undead want to send it to you! ”

"Don't stare at me!"

"I'll tell you, your military advisor, I'm going to resign, and I'll only mess with my master's master in the future."

"Also, don't call me a bone pigeon in the future, just call me little chic!"

As he spoke, he walked over to Philorius on his toes.

Come to Matthew and Margaret.

The bone pigeon nodded and said:

"Two adults, I know what monster lairs are around here, and I can show you the way!"

Margaret rolled her eyes:

"Didn't you say there was an immortal holy spring?"

Matthew picked up the bone pigeon, looking itchy and unbearable:

"Don't talk nonsense, lead the way, I can't hold it anymore!"

The three of them faded away.

Soon, Xiao Boiling was filled with gratitude from the necromantic contract.

……

Three days later.

The edge of the Land of the Six Rings.

In a dark cavern.

With a terrible wail, Matthew's figure appeared at the entrance of the cave not long after.

Margaret followed him, knocking melon seeds and resuming:

"You can be quicker and more resolute when using spell nullification enchantments!"

"It's obviously very good to use it a few times before, why is it a lot slower when facing the nesting banshee this time, could it be that the banshee looks more to your liking, and it's a little unbearable, right?"

"Should I say it or not, the banshee's lair is still fishy......"

Matthew ignored the invalid information in her words.

Instead, he seriously analyzed the battle just now:

"When I leaned closely, I did eat the charm of the banshee's front, and I was successfully immune to the charm, but I don't know why, my mind was still sluggish at that moment."

"It's certainly not because of the banshee's looks or size."

"It seems like something is being generated in my head, and this kind of thing should have something to do with the fighting these days."

Margaret's eyes rolled and showed a look of understanding:

"Don't think about it, keep looking for monsters to fight alone, and soon you'll find the answer."

"Little Chic, who's behind the nesting banshee?"

"Dear Lady Margaret, in the past few days, the Great Master has killed the bone giants in the valley, the rotten earth spirits in the dead woods, the great corpse witches in the rotten lakes, and the nesting banshees in the crypts.

The slightest weight of the enemies in the Land of the Six Rings was killed by him.

If we want to continue our search for an opponent, the nearest way is through a narrow corridor ending in the coastline of the Sixth Ring Road.

It's called the "interplane" place. ”

The bone pigeon replied respectfully.

Between planes?

Matthew and Margaret looked at each other, and both looked delighted.

The so-called between planes refers to the place where two planes meet, and a unique space is often formed here.

There is no instability between planes, but there are often greater opportunities than elsewhere.

The negative energy plane is located in the inner layer, and the high probability of bordering it is the elemental plane.

If you're lucky, Matthew will not only be able to successfully train in actual combat, but also have the opportunity to harvest treasures from the elemental plane.

The two immediately let the bone pigeon lead the way.

It wasn't long after I got out of the cave, though.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew in the sky.

There was something clearly unusual about the wind.

It hurts to scrape on the living person, and the bone pigeon is almost blown away!

Fortunately, Margaret was quick and stuffed him directly into her clothes.

This made the bone pigeon a little dizzy.

"It's not right, it's not like a normal positive wind or a positive wind, let's step back a little bit."

Margaret prompted.

The two of them hid back in the cave.

The tranquility here contrasts with the hustle and bustle outside.

"The wind won't stop for a while."

Margaret took a tent out of the storage props, quickly set it up with a spell, and then got into it herself, leaving only a pair of shoes outside the tent.

"The longer our body stays in the negative energy plane, the more severe the erosion will receive, this tent can effectively purify the effect of erosion, do you want to use it with me?"

Margaret poked a small head out of it and looked at Matthew expectantly.

Matthew just moved his ass and wanted to get in, but the next second, he stopped at the door of the tent.

He asked alertly:

"Is there a charge?"

Margaret grinned:

"Promise 100 gold at a time."

"You're not going to give me even a hundred gold, are you? The inside of this tent is narrow and warm, and it is very comfortable! ”

"If you don't come in, your body will be eroded by negative energy, and you may need to spend more money on treatment in the future!"

Matthew sighed:

"100 gold is also a huge amount of money for me now, thank you for the invitation, but no need."

Margaret changed her face and said:

"Slam the door! See how you solve the problem of negative energy erosion. ”

Matthew shrugged his shoulders, and he took a half-step back, using necromancy to transform into a bouncing dwarven skeleton.

Margaret was so angry that she threw the bone pigeon out as well, and then pulled the tent hard.

Only the bone dove and the dwarf skeleton were left staring in the hole.

About three minutes passed.

Matthew suddenly heard the wind change outside.

He went to the entrance of the cave to observe the situation.

Suddenly.

A viscerally shuddering whistling sound came from the sky.

Followed by.

A dark cloud overshadowed the cave.

Matthew saw a behemoth!

……

"Warning: You've encountered a Topaz Dragon (Primal Dragon/LV22)!

You've entered the Topaz Dragon's realm of decay!"

……
