…
Roger followed Stephen into the cave where the dragon's tailbone extended.
It's dark and damp here.
Cold wind often blows through the cracks between the rocks.
Roger noticed.
Although Stephen looked very familiar with the terrain.
But when the cold wind blows.
He still showed some discomfort.
It can be seen that his strength has not improved over the years.
To be alive till now.
I'm afraid it's still Sisko who is trying his best to protect me.
So Roger quietly moved a little of his authority over.
In an instant.
A small cover flashing a dim yellow light appeared on Stephen's body.
The latter had just experienced a bout of coughing.
Sensing Roger's action.
Immediately revealed a grateful expression:
"It's just ahead."
"Lord Roger..."
His voice was still a little trembling.
But it shouldn’t be because of the cold.
But it was Roger's presence.
This in itself put a great pressure on him.
"It seems that the little girl's perception of danger has not deteriorated..."
Roger nodded.
Following Stephen through an extremely long and narrow canyon.
After a short rest.
They arrived at a relatively open space inside the mountain.
This place is similar to many dungeons Roger has seen.
The difference is.
About 90% of this underground space is filled with the skeletons of cosmic dragons.
What's even more outrageous is.
Roger confirmed.
This part of the dragon's skeleton visible to the naked eye is just the dragon's buttocks...
I’m afraid that even the entire Demon Dragon Abyss can’t fit this guy’s real corpse!
I don't know where the rest of the part extends to.
Just as Roger continued to look into the darkness curiously.
Suddenly.
His facial skin tightened.
Whoosh!
Roger disappeared on the spot.
The next moment.
He appeared at the edge of the 11th section of the dragon's tailbone.
Here.
The dragon's tailbone collapsed downward.
In response, a large spider-web-like crack appeared on the ground.
Above the crack.
Flashing a sickening green light.
Roger saw it.
Balls of spider-silk-like objects grew from under the cracks.
They seem to have life.
Tightly wrapped around a skinny body!
The body's surface was emitting green light and pus.
An extremely fishy smell also filled the air.
Roger sensed it.
There is a force pulling this body downwards!
If it weren’t for the dark green gem hanging on the chest of the wrapped body resisting that force.
I'm afraid he has been dragged away long ago!
The pupil technique is activated.
Roger spotted the wrapped man.
It turned out to be a woman with a very familiar face!
…
"Sisko..."
Roger made a low sound in his throat.
"No!"
"His soul isn't here!"
Next second.
He borrowed some of the authority and domain of the White Turbid Snake.
Start observing the movements of souls around you.
soon.
Roger discovered a pure white spirit that flashed by in a strange space inside the dragon's skeleton!
That is Sisko's soul!
on the data bar.
…
"Hint: You have activated the soul realm (white turbid snake)"
…
"You discovered that Siskelly's soul was repeatedly wandering between her own body and the Cosmic Dragon..."
…
"You discovered that the 'Hughes's Sleeping Lamp' (a semi-artifact) is guarding Heathcliff's soul..."
…
"You discovered that 'Eric's Eye' (a semi-artifact) is protecting Heathcliff's body..."
…
"You sensed a large amount of active elements..."
…
"There's a high-level spellcaster!"
Roger gazed around calmly.
After a few laps.
He was sure that the potential high-level spellcaster was not on the ninth floor of the Demon Dragon Abyss.
But it comes from...
Further down!
…
"Come here..."
Roger's technique was clumsy but he slowly pushed the soul realm open.
Not far away.
The pure white spirit trembled and approached -
He probably sensed Roger's arrival a long time ago.
But due to the weak soul power.
Unable to communicate with Roger.
Fortunately, Roger realized it in time.
He took the initiative to lead Cisco into his soul.
In this way.
Communication between the two becomes simple and feasible.
…
"Soul Realm: You have successfully housed Heathcliff (Lv159 (Unstable)/Lord Template (Transforming)/Dragon Controller/God Slayer/Descendant of the Star Lord...)"
…
Watching Psyker's soul gradually recover its vitality.
Roger glanced at the data column.
Showing a surprised expression:
"You became immortal without making any noise!?"
Cisco's spirit opened his mouth.
In the end, all expressions turned into wry smiles.
Roger waved him off.
Seven or eight minutes later.
Psyker's spirit began to shine again.
He knelt on one knee excitedly:
"teacher!"
Roger immediately raised his light spirit:
"How does it feel?"
"Don't say anything else, just tell me first - who made you like this?!"
Cisco was slightly stunned.
He seemed a little hesitant.
But Stephen next to him shouted:
"What are you hesitating about?"
"Is there anyone on this planet more powerful than Lord Roger?"
"You're in this state now, and you still want to rely on your own strength to kill that old pervert?"
Hearing this.
Sisko said without hesitation:
"It's a dracolich!"
"He's nearby!"
"It's on the tenth floor of the Demonic Dragon Abyss!"
"In the beginning, he was the one who tricked the two of us here..."
Cisco became more and more angry as he spoke.
If only spirits had no teeth.
I'm afraid they have all been bitten to pieces by him!
…
Cisco once took Stephanie to explore a crypt from the Talen era in the southern cemetery.
As an experienced assassin.
It can be said that Cisco has made all the necessary preparations.
But the Tarun Underground Palace is really weird.
Although he realized something was wrong as soon as he entered and wanted to quit.
But it was too late.
At that time.
He and Stephanie were trapped on the top floor of the underground palace.
With Psyker's super perception.
They escaped many minor disasters.
At the beginning.
Psyker's survival strategy was to wait for rescue on the spot - he carried enough food and water with him to last for seven or eight years in the underground palace - and the news that he had gone to explore the underground palace was known to both Roger and the Assassin's League.
He felt that one of these two sides would eventually find him.
But as time goes by, every second.
Cisco is fine.
Practice martial arts in the underground palace every day.
It can also help kill time.
But Stephanie was almost driven crazy by this boring life.
About three years later.
Sisko, who had been trying tirelessly to send a distress signal through the solid gate of the underground palace, also gave up.
He takes the half-crazy Stephanie on a series of thrilling adventures.
The adventures vary.
In short, it was a life-or-death situation.
The two of them encountered many bizarre monsters in the underground palace.
Gradually.
Sisko discovered that these monsters seemed to be related to dragons, priests and other elements.
This discovery, combined with the strange phenomena that occurred repeatedly in the underground palace at that time, made Psyker more vigilant.
But there's no way.
To find a way out.
He had to move towards the unknown.
Fortunately, Psyker’s fighting ability is pretty good.
After more than half a month of tossing and turning and escaping.
They finally found the exit of the Taren Underground Palace.
only.
As they left through the exit.
Soon he found himself escaping from the Taren Underground Palace.
But they came to a dead place filled with dragon corpses!
It's obvious.
That is a very rare dragon tomb!
After discovering this.
The two were very frightened.
Because the dragon's tomb is not allowed to be disturbed by the living.
Any mortal who enters.
The guardians here will kill them!
Even though Psyker has the title of God Killer.
Nor did he dare to confront the guardian of the Dragon's Tomb head-on .
You know.
The guardian of the Dragon Tomb is not someone that those miscellaneous monsters in the Taren Underground Palace can mess with.
And there is often more than one guardian of a dragon tomb of this size.
If the battle lasts too long, the consequences will be great.
Cisco and the other two are doomed to die!
So they wanted to retreat back to the underground palace and find another way out.
But at this moment.
Psyker suddenly noticed something unusual about the Dragon Tomb—
He found that many dragon tombs showed signs of human disturbance.
It was supposed to be on the giant dragon altar used for sacrifice.
There are dragon bones and dragon tendons everywhere!
besides.
They also vaguely sensed an evil force!
That force points directly to the negative energy plane!
In Sisko's opinion.
Abnormality means danger.
Normally he was not a risk-taker.
Change to another moment.
He would choose to retreat without hesitation!
But the situation was too difficult.
The two have been trapped in the underground palace for too long!
Returning to the underground palace to seek the slim hope of escape is obviously not as good as exploring the dragon tomb in front of us which is obviously in trouble!
So he gritted his teeth and walked in.
certainly.
Cisco didn't mess around either.
He first took Stephanie and wandered around the outskirts of the Dragon Tomb for a while.
A week later.
The two of them can be basically confirmed.
This dragon tomb has been completely abandoned.
Not only is there no guardian.
Even the bones of the giant dragon buried here were trampled clean!
After finding out the details.
The two dared to move forward.
In the Dragon's Tomb.
They reaped a lot of benefits.
They even accidentally discovered a treasure dragon cave, in which were buried treasures left behind by an ancient silver dragon before its death.
There are three semi-artifacts among the treasures.
Cisco took two.
The remaining piece was given to Stephanie.
It is different from ordinary semi-artifacts which have higher usage standards.
These three semi-artifacts may have been carefully refined by the ancient silver dragon.
Almost anyone can use it.
This made the two of them very happy!
Even Sisko was so immersed in joy that he ignored the coming crisis.
So in the subsequent in-depth exploration of the dragon tomb.
Sisko overlooked a detail that he might normally notice.
And when Stephanie's perception takes effect.
They have fallen into a huge trap.
A trap from the dracolich Bethard!
…
According to Sisko's description.
Besad was once an ancient golden dragon with a kind nature.
He is gentle and generous, wise and upright.
For a long time.
Bethard once blessed the mortals of the eastern regions of Mystra.
Until an accident happened——
A cosmic dragon broke free from its restraints and shackles and attacked the territory of the ancient golden dragon.
Besad fought a long battle with him.
final.
The ancient golden dragon barely defeated the cosmic dragon.
He re-sealed the Cosmic Dragon in the Dragon Abyss, which was now unattended.
Then he returned to the territory.
The residents of the territory saw the ancient golden dragon return safely.
They thought that this powerful dragon lord was protecting their peace as always.
So they celebrated with each other.
That month.
People prepared various sacrificial ceremonies and singing performances for the Golden Dragon Besad.
It was rare for Bessard to leave his nest in the clouds.
Go to your own territory and answer the call of mortals.
Time goes by day by day.
Everyone in the territory has forgotten the earth-shaking battle between the ancient golden dragon and the cosmic magic dragon.
But only Besad knew.
The Cosmic Dragon left a mark of pain in his body forever!
That mark not only caused the ancient golden dragon's body to lose its healthy vitality.
At the same time, it was also distorting his mind...
Before the cosmic dragon appeared.
Bethard's life was already nearing its end.
If it was before.
There is a high probability that Besad will die quietly when his time comes.
And after that battle.
The speed at which the ancient golden dragon's life was declining was greatly accelerated!
He began to feel the coldness of death in advance!
He began to fear.
He started to panic.
He began to desire more life!
Entangled in the shadow of the dragon.
Bethard naturally fell.
He left the mortal realm quietly.
Secretly went to the Dragon's Tomb.
Relying on his own powerful strength.
Bethard slew the guardian of the Dragon's Tomb.
He began to steal the corpses of his own people to study their power and life.
The Golden Dragon Clan possesses extremely advanced magical attainments.
Plus Besad’s life-long accumulation.
Soon he found the way to eternal life——
That is to become a lich!
Lich is synonymous with powerful and terrifying.
The dragon lich is the most arrogant among them!
On the planet Mystra at that time.
Bethard has few fellow tribesmen or relatives left.
So he embarked on this path without any attachment at all!
that's all.
Bethard quietly transformed himself into a dracolich before dying.
Then he fell deeper and deeper into the road of no return in the search for power!
It was according to Besad's plan.
He will probably complete the higher-level advancement to the dragon lich before he can walk around the world again.
Unfortunately, there is no wall that is completely airtight.
More than 100 years later.
The dragons of Mistra discovered what Besad had done - the angry dragons united together and began to besiege Besad frantically!
The intensity of the battle between the two sides this time was no less than the battle between the ancient golden dragon and the cosmic dragon.
The flames of the dragon civil war spread to mortal lands.
Many innocent people became souls under the dragon flame.
After that battle.
Besad successfully killed all of his kind!
He also killed the few remaining mortals in his territory.
He absorbed the souls of these lives to repair himself.
But I still couldn't get my body back to its peak condition.
Plus in that big war.
His dracolich's phylactery took some damage.
So he lay dormant.
Choose a long sleep.
But what he didn't know was.
This time, the deep sleep almost cost him his life!
…
"Sleeping? What happened to him after he fell asleep?"
Roger asked.
Cisco pondered:
…
“I can’t really explain it.
Maybe even Bessard himself is not quite sure.
When he was talking to me about this past.
Just repeating one word again -
…
Restart the present world.
…
Yes, that's it!
Restart the present world!"
…
