Volume 3: Tides of Darkness Chapter 161 Whisper of the Ancient God
Murphy checked the progress of the task.
[Road to the Dragon Feast (Origin Quest/In Progress)
Current task progress: 30%.
Mission Introduction: You have successfully devoured the third dragon's heart. You are addicted to the power brought to you by the dragon feasting ceremony. The dragon's will is eroding your heart. You can feel some changes happening to your body. A strange emotion is gradually emerging in your heart. You are eager for more...】
Next, Murphy began to check the newly acquired Dragon Feast skills.
[Arcane Vortex of Arcanagos (Dragon Feast skill)
Use: Summons a magical vortex (lasts 5 seconds) that absorbs all magic cast on you during this period and converts it into raw magic. After the skill ends, you can -
Option 1: Arcane Orb. Convert all the magic you absorb into an Arcane Orb, dealing 100 + the absorbed magic value to the enemy. Arcane Explosion damage.
Option 2: Mana Absorption. Convert all the mana you absorb into your own mana. If the mana absorbed exceeds your mana limit, the excess mana will gradually decay within 180 seconds.
Conditions of use: 100 mana points. Skill cooldown time 10 minutes.
Skill Description: According to legend, the blue dragons living in the Nexus are born with the power to manipulate the arcane. Compared to the complicated use of magic by mortals, blue dragons are more accustomed to releasing or absorbing the arcane in the purest form. This is the original power of magic.
This skill is pretty good, but its versatility is a little lacking. It seems that it can only be used when fighting against magic professions.
If you are dealing with an ordinary enemy who cannot use magic, it is equivalent to an arcane missile with 100 points of damage, and it consumes a very high amount of mana, so it is really not practical.
But if you are fighting against magic enemies, especially those powerful mages, it will be very powerful, equivalent to a five-second magic immunity + a large mana recovery effect.
No, it should be said that it is much stronger than magic immunity. Magic immunity is only effective for oneself. This arcane vortex can not only protect oneself, but also be used to protect others and counterattack. It will definitely be effective if used well.
Not bad, not bad. I will have a trump card to deal with magic professions in the future.
Murphy used the Karazhan badge to teleport back to Karazhan again, and Wang Xuan was still drinking there.
And Medivh was still sleeping.
"Is the work done?" Wang Xuan asked casually.
Murphy nodded, "It's done. Next, take me to the Obsidian Temple."
Still using the Night Fury as an anchor, Wang Xuan teleported Murphy to the forest of the Terra Mountains.
This time Murphy didn't hide it.
He transformed directly into Deathwing and flew towards the Obsidian Temple.
With a loud bang, the huge black dragon king landed on the platform of the Obsidian Temple. Ignoring the black dragons around him who were saluting him respectfully, Murphy directly activated his legion command skill - summoning the black dragon legion.
This skill is equivalent to a group text message function, and can only be used by the Black Dragon King.
Of course, the Black Dragon Lord also has a low-end version, which is only effective on the dragons he commands.
The Black Dragon King is very powerful. Theoretically, all black dragons can feel the will of the Black Dragon King.
Of course, if the distance is too far, it is possible that the signal cannot be received, so Murphy deliberately chose to come to the Obsidian Temple to use this skill. The Obsidian Temple can greatly enhance his power of command as the Black Dragon King - equivalent to a huge signal amplifier.
Neltharion (Black Dragon King): "All black dragon lords, warriors of the black dragon army, I am Neltharion, the black dragon king, the destined destroyer of the world, the terminator of all things. Feel my will, obey my call, and gather in the Nightwhisper forest near Karazhan within three days. A war that will change the fate of the world is about to begin, and the black dragon army will show its power to the world!"
Sartharion (Ancient Black Dragon): "Brother, what happened?" Sartharion, who had hurriedly flown out, was shocked when he heard Murphy's announcement. The Black Dragon Legion had assembled. Was this going to cause another dragon disaster?
Neltharion (Black Dragon King): "Don't worry, brother. We will definitely win this war. I have found a powerful ally and a group of useful cannon fodder. The orc army from another world will charge for us and face the Alliance. What we have to do is wait for the opportunity to seize the victory and territory that belong to our Black Dragon clan.
The Black Dragon Legion is about to rise. Protect our temple. All you have to do now is wait."
Murphy was about to leave when he suddenly heard a faint whisper in his ears.
"Nessa...Leo...Death...Wings."
Coming again? Murphy immediately recognized the voice as the one he had heard in front of the huge door deep in the Obsidian Temple last time. However, the voice last time spoke words he could not understand. But this time, he could hear it clearly, although it was intermittent.
Whisper from the Abyss: "Submit...to my will...surrender...to the abyss...you cannot...escape...from me..."
Neltharion (Black Dragon King): "Shut up, I don't want to bother with you."
Whisper from the Abyss: "Wings... of Death, Nessa... Rio, release me... release the power of the Abyss... I will show... you... the truth of all things..."
Neltharion (Black Dragon King): "Go away, you maggot in the dark, prisoner of the abyss, no one can command me, not even the Old Gods. I know who you are, the God of Nightmare - the Thousand Bearded Demon - N'Zoth, your evil whispers are of no use to me."
Whisper from the Abyss: "You are not... Deathwing, who... are you?"
Huh? Murphy was immediately shocked, wondering how this guy knew I was not Deathwing, but he couldn't mess up.
Neltharion (Black Dragon King): "Hehe, you dare to question the words of the Black Dragon King. You should be glad that you did not appear in front of me, otherwise my primordial flames will burn you to ashes. You can hide in the dark shadows and whisper to each other. You can only survive in the depths of the abyss."
The voice disappeared, and just when Murphy thought the other party had given up communicating, the voice suddenly emerged again, unusually clear, as if it was right next to his ear.
Whisper from the Abyss: "Foolish... mortals... this world is facing... disaster... endless despair... suffering..."
The voice was extremely distorted, with an indescribable strange tone, revealing deep malice. Even if it was only for a few seconds, it made Murphy feel dizzy and disgusted and irritated from the bottom of his heart. It was an indescribable uncomfortable feeling, as if everything had lost its color, there was no hope, no joy, no expectation, only unbearable irritability and the urge to destroy everything.
Mo Fei thought to himself, wow, what the hell is this thing.
He wanted to stop the sound from invading his mind, but he couldn't do it. The sound didn't come from his ears at all, but was transmitted directly into his consciousness.
Neltharion (Black Dragon King): "Shut up, shut up, you idiot, damn it..."
Murphy was so anxious that he even forgot to recite his lines.
Deathwing's eyes instantly turned blood red. The pain and anger made him want to kill indiscriminately. Murphy quickly flapped his wings and flew away.
No, we must stay away from here! Murphy thought that the Obsidian Temple was like a signal amplifier, which not only allowed the Black Dragon King's thoughts to be transmitted farther, but also transmitted the unknown whispers into his mind.
The strange whisper was still echoing in his ears, but as Murphy got farther and farther away from the Obsidian Temple, the sound became smaller and smaller. When Murphy flew dozens of miles away, the sound finally quieted down.
Phew, I was scared to death. That ghost thing was so disgusting.
Murphy looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he changed back into human form and touched his head in confusion. Fortunately, that voice could only be heard in the Obsidian Temple, and it seemed that it could only be heard in the form of Deathwing.
After activating the Karazhan badge, Murphy was teleported back to Karazhan again. I have to say, this thing is really useful.
"You look so bad." Wang Xuan was a little surprised when he saw Mo Fei's face.
Murphy waved his hand, picked up the bottle of wine and took a long gulp. He glanced at Wang Xuan and thought that he really needed to get to the bottom of this matter. It felt too scary. It was simply mental pollution.
"When I went to the Obsidian Temple just now, I heard strange whispers."
"Strange noise?"
"Yes, I suspect it is the whisper of the ancient gods."
"N'Zoth? Isn't that normal? Deathwing was driven mad by the whispers of the Old Gods."
"Then I won't be driven crazy too, will I?"
"Hahaha, don't worry, it's okay, it's just a game, those whispers are just a form of expression, we game developers won't really turn players into psychos, right?"
"But at that time, my brain felt like it was going to explode. I felt like I was going insane and I just wanted to die." Murphy recalled the feeling just now and still felt a little scared. No wonder Deathwing went crazy. If he was tortured like this every day, who wouldn't go crazy?
"Don't worry, this is just a game effect, just like the 30% pain. By the way, did you adjust the touch sensitivity to 100% and forget to change it back?"
Murphy was stunned, he opened the system interface and took a look, and it was indeed the case.
Shit, no wonder it felt so bad.
He quickly adjusted his perception back to 30%.
"Just don't do that next time. If it's 30%, then even if that voice tortures you, it probably won't be a big deal."
"Then I won't get into any trouble now, right?" Murphy asked. He shook his head and felt as if there were double images in front of his eyes. He was a little dazed.
"Don't worry, it's okay."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, I can cheat anyone but you. We are good friends."
But isn't Arcanagos also your friend? Murphy couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud, because if he really said it out loud, it would be a bit weird.
He originally thought that Wang Xuan was a very trustworthy person. This feeling appeared inexplicably and made him believe it without a doubt.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt that things might not be as ideal as he thought.
After all, he and Wang Xuan had only known each other for a month. Although they had eaten together, drank together, and picked up girls together, that was all.
It seems that there is not much difference compared to Arcanagos, except that he is a player.
"Okay, I'll go back then."
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? How about we have a few drinks? This place is about to get haunted."
"No, I'd better go back and log off to sleep. That whispering part really reduced my sanity. I need to take it easy."
