Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 44 Crystal Statue
"In the nightmare realm, there are two things that attract the most attention from the five-colored dragons."
While closely monitoring the actions of the five-colored dragons at the edge of the ruins, the professor continued to tell Marvin:
"First, the crystal statue of Hutson."
"Second, Rainbow Spring."
The Hartson's Crystal Statue is said to be an artifact made by the Five-Colored Dragon God Hartson before his fall.
The function of this artifact is very special. The holder of the artifact can command the five-colored dragons of all Fenan - at least three times.
This is a very scary ability.
You know, a single dragon has the ability to capture cities and plunder lands, and a group of dragons can even destroy some gods of medium power.
Fenan conservatively estimated that the entire five-colored dragon tribe numbered more than 40. In fact, if Marvin hadn't killed a few of the smallest black dragons and a red dragon that Earl used as a scapegoat to divert attention, the number would have been even higher.
These dragons are not summoned creatures like shadow dragons, but real dragons!
Although the five-colored dragon, like the metal dragon, is a mid-level dragon, there is still some gap between it and the extremely rare rainbow dragon and time dragon in the legend, but it is already a very powerful force.
An adult five-colored dragon is equivalent to an ordinary legendary squad of other races.
The powerful ones among the dragons, such as the ancient red dragon Earl, are second only to the level of the Great Elf King. There are not many people in the entire plane who can be his rivals.
Once you find Hartson's crystal statue, you will have the opportunity to command the five-colored dragon clan.
Such a powerful function is what every five-colored dragon dreams of.
There are also rumors that Hartson's crystal statue is actually made from a broken slate of destiny, and it also contains the secret of becoming the new Five-Colored Dragon God.
Commanding dragons is just the simplest ability.
All in all, the crystal statue is a must-have for these five ancient dragons.
The second thing, [Rainbow Spring], should not be ignored either.
Like the crystal statues, they are all hidden somewhere in the Nightmare Realm. It is said that even Hartson's closest green dragon does not know the exact location.
They can only explore based on the information they have.
The only thing that is certain is that Hartson once stated before his death that he would infuse the powers he had taken away from the five-colored dragons into the Rainbow Spring.
If they find the Rainbow Spring and drink its water, they will be able to break through their own limits and possibly reach a realm that only high-level dragons can achieve.
In fact, for a strong man like Earl who has already reached his own limit, the Rainbow Spring is a more tempting thing.
His strength has long reached the ceiling of the Five-Colored Dragon. If he wants to go to the next level, he must rely on some very special things.
Without a doubt, the Rainbow Springs left by Hutson were his most accessible.
…
In order to compete for these two things and ensure mutual cooperation, the five-colored dragons set rules.
In this battle, each tribe only sent out the strongest.
This is good news for the dwindling black dragons.
The Red Dragon Clan, which had the largest number of dragons, was dismissive. The power of the Ancient Red Dragon Earl was clearly greater than that of the Ancient Dragons of other dragon clans, and they believed that Earl would definitely win.
In this way, five dragons gathered in the logging forest.
They began to follow the clues left behind, trying to uncover the secret of the five-color altar, thus opening up the nightmare world of the past.
However, they wasted a long time preparing for this plan.
And in the process, the news leaked.
Actually, this is not surprising.
Metal dragons are naturally opposed to five-color dragons. There are metal dragons monitoring the edge of almost every five-color dragon's lair. The professor and his team intercepted the dragon language intelligence exchanged between the five-color dragons, and naturally took action.
Although Hartson's crystal statue and rainbow spring have no effect on metal dragons, they must not be allowed to be obtained by the five-colored dragons.
Otherwise it would be a disaster not only for the metal dragon clan, but also for Fenan himself.
Most of the five-colored dragons are violent and advocate trickery, killing, and chaos.
Fenan is now in the midst of a great catastrophe. The gods, demons, devils, evil spirits, and savages are already enough for Fenan's order maintainers to deal with. Add to that a group of colored dragons that have regained their former power... the metal dragons cannot imagine such a scene.
Therefore, under the guidance of the professor, the metal dragons, which were more casual in nature, became more united than ever before.
They closely followed the entire plan process, and finally today, they gathered masters from all races.
In fact, the powerful people they are in contact with are far more than the five-colored dragons.
There is one problem with metallic dragons, however—they do tend to be a bit sloppy.
It seems that several ancient dragons who were invited are still on the way, and it is unknown when they will arrive.
"But I am actually quite satisfied that I was able to catch four."
At this point, the professor even smiled awkwardly: "My compatriots have always lacked the concept of punctuality."
Marvin shook his head secretly, and suddenly he remembered that the professor had asked him to deliver a letter before!
"etc……"
"You asked me to go to Xunshan Monastery before..."
Before Marvin could finish his words, a tall figure appeared at the entrance of the cave.
"It's for this matter."
Sword Master Conn.
The professor finally showed a smile on his face: "Since you are here, Louise and Carter won't be late either."
"I have them keeping watch in the northern part of the forest."
Conn said calmly: "There seem to be some traces of green and blue dragon activities there."
"Hehe...it seems like there is intrigue among the Five-Colored Dragon Clan as well."
The brass dragon Cromwell chuckled and said, "I bet they'll kill everyone before they get the stuff."
"That's provided none of them can find the crystal statue."
The professor said solemnly: "This is the key to whether the five-colored dragons can be unified."
The others nodded.
If a giant dragon really gets the crystal statue, then once the five-colored dragons are unified, the power they will form will be extremely terrifying.
"Isn't the purpose of our coming here today to disrupt their plan?"
Golden Dragon Modico couldn't help but ask: "Why not do it now? We can catch them off guard."
“That doesn’t make any sense.”
The professor explained: "The key to the nightmare realm is in the hands of the green dragon Morgana. This key is a one-time use. If we take action now, we can thwart their plans, but we cannot completely destroy their chances of obtaining the crystal statue or the rainbow spring."
"The five-colored dragons are all very cunning. Facing our encirclement, they will definitely flee. Maybe they will even unite because of our presence - this is not the situation we want to see, right?"
“If they escape, we won’t know how to continue the operation. We can’t stay in this ruin forever.”
"So, if we want to thwart their plan, we must make the green dragon Morgana use her key."
In response to the professor's analysis, some people immediately raised objections.
Silver Dragon Stein warned: "But once she uses the key, it means the opening of the nightmare realm."
"You know, we can't enter the nightmare realm. As metal dragons, Hartson naturally rejects us, and we can't enter his world."
The professor nodded: "That's why I found a few helpers."
The eyes of the other dragons immediately fell on the sword master Kang En.
The latter said readily: "Louise and I have no problem. But Carter is not sure. He is an assassin, and when I asked him for help, I only asked for surveillance. He might refuse to enter the nightmare realm."
The professor said without hesitation: "My advanced transfiguration has reached level 10, which is enough to deceive Hartson's repulsion barrier. I can go in as a human..."
"That way, we have three of us together."
At this moment, Marvin couldn't help but interrupt:
"Can I ask, what exactly is your plan?"
…
Ruins, broken five-colored altar.
"Morgana, you've tried sixty-four times."
Earl's irritable voice sounded again: "This is just the first door. I don't think there is any need to use the correct matching key. Just break it directly."
"Or we can find another way to enter the underground temple. Anyway, we all know that the entrance to the nightmare realm is on the third floor of the underground temple."
The woman who was the incarnation of a green dragon squatted under the five-colored altar, patiently mending pieces of stone, as if trying to restore it.
This place once had magnificent buildings and many passages leading to underground temples.
But after the death of Dragon God Hartson, all these passages were blocked.
To enter the underground temple, you must pass through the five-colored altar.
"You clearly know that Hartson has taken away not only your strength but also your patience. Why don't you try to overcome it?"
Morgana continued to repair the five-colored altar while responding to Earl.
The ancient red dragon suddenly became furious. If there had not been other dragons present, the two sides would probably have already started fighting.
What the Dragon God Hartson had taken away from the five-colored dragons contained not only power but also some other things.
Black dragons were deprived of their ability to reproduce, so their fertility is pitifully low.
Green dragons have been deprived of their courage, so most of them prefer to use tricks rather than crush their enemies with direct force.
The blue dragon was deprived of [Accurate Cognition], the white dragon was deprived of [Advanced Wisdom], and the red dragon was deprived of [Patience].
The lack of these things magnifies the shortcomings of the five-colored dragons, which is one of the reasons why many five-colored dragons today hate the ancient dragon god Hartson.
Not to mention that he handed over his body to a low-level dragon to protect it, and later this low-level dragon degenerated into an evil spirit monarch!
It is said that Titus' success is closely related to the bones of the dragon god.
He gained powerful strength through the bones of the Dragon God and was then recognized by the Sea of Evil Spirits.
After all these things happened, the chaotic and evil five-colored dragons naturally had no good feelings towards Hartson.
…
Time passed minute by minute, and after about half a quarter of an hour, the five-colored altar was finally repaired.
"Done." Morgana stood up and looked at the others:
"You only need to consume one legendary item to start a teleportation."
"Who's coming first?"
