Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 45: Tithomas of Loyalty
When the figures of the five-colored dragons disappeared one after another in the center of the altar, the metal dragons finally appeared.
"Do you really not need us to enter the lower world to help you?"
Silver Dragon Stein was still a little worried. He looked at the five people who were about to set off with suspicion: "If you had encountered the five-colored dragon in the underground temple - instead of in the nightmare realm, I think there might be some trouble."
Marvin smiled bitterly; he had similar concerns in his mind.
After listening to the professor's plan, Marvin naturally chose to join.
Anyway, I have already joined in the fun, and the professor promised to help me reach the Supreme Jungle as quickly as possible after the matter is over - this is much faster than riding a griffin on an unreliable butterfly.
Besides, the hatred level of the five-colored dragon on him is second only to that of the evil spirits. Sooner or later, he will become enemies with these guys. It is better to cooperate with the metal dragons to prevent them from gaining strength first, and then wait for an opportunity to make good use of his dragon-slaying spear in the nightmare realm. Maybe he will get unexpected gains.
The dragons had no objection to Marvin's joining.
Obviously, the halo around him is still very effective: dragon slayer, plane destroyer, godslayer... Although dragons rarely pay attention to humans, when a human has so many earth-shaking deeds, they have to lower their proud heads and pay their reserved respects.
With the addition of Marvin, the team naturally became four people.
The swordsmanship master Conn, a female spellcaster named Louise who is of unknown origin but is said to be Conn's good friend and very reliable, Marvin, and a professor who uses advanced transfiguration.
This is a very good combination, because the metal dragons have received information that there are about three or four locations in the Nightmare Realm where crystal statues or rainbow springs may exist, so there must be enough people to get there before the five-colored dragons.
However, at this moment, a discordant voice emerged.
"Can I join in, too?"
Die asked naturally.
The other dragons looked at the tiny elf with their eyes widened.
Silver Dragon Stein smiled bitterly, looked at the shining dragon scales in her hand, and was about to speak seriously to stop her.
This was not some adventure game. The opponents on this trip were all the top killers in the world. They had the most terrifying bodies and magic, and the most vicious hearts. The five ancient five-colored dragons were not to be underestimated even by these ancient metal dragons.
Is a weak wood elf trying to fill the teeth of the dragons?
However, before Stein could stop her, he heard an unexpected voice saying:
"sure."
The professor's voice sounded decisive .
Die cheered, while the other dragons looked puzzled.
…
Next to the five-colored altar, the professor transformed into a human looked like a wise elder.
He patted Stein's shoulder gently: "Don't worry, our team is full of top-notch experts."
Stein glanced at Butterfly, whose strength was probably not even that of the third level, and shook his head secretly.
The others also strongly disagreed with the professor's decision, but the Copper Dragon's status in the hearts of all dragons was obviously higher, so his decision was unanimously passed.
So, under the expectant gaze of the other metal dragons, they began to throw discarded legendary items into the five-color altar - just like the five-color dragons did.
Each time a legendary item is consumed, one teleportation qualification is granted.
I have to say, this five-color altar has a really big appetite, it actually requires legendary items to activate it.
Fortunately, Marvin was surrounded by a group of ancient dragons.
These guys have everything, especially legendary items that are old and useless.
Conn was the first to enter the altar.
Then came Louise - this was a woman covered in a black veil. Marvin couldn't even see her face clearly. He only knew that she was very strong and definitely not inferior to himself.
Then it was Butterfly. The wood elf happily entered the altar and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Marvin was a little worried. He took a step forward and entered the five-color altar for the fourth time.
…
The five-colored altar is randomly teleported, and the destination of teleportation is the underground temple under the ruins.
There is a mysterious force field surrounding the underground temple. If you try to break in by force, it will only cause the temple to collapse violently.
According to the structural diagram that the metal dragons managed to obtain, the underground temple has a total of five floors, each floor has a different structural diagram, but the map is incomplete, so it is not easy to find the entrance to the next floor.
What's more troublesome is that in this process, they are very likely to encounter the five-colored dragon, and they will also encounter the monsters bred in the underground temple.
Because of the Tomb of the Dragon God, these monsters all have their own divine templates!
After hearing the news, Marvin felt a little regretful for letting the hellhound go so early.
If you bring that guy to the underground temple, he will definitely be able to eat his fill and his strength will increase dramatically.
Of course, divine creatures also have benefits for Marvin.
Although his virtual godhead cannot accommodate more divinity, the Book of Naaru can devour divinity.
Recently, Marvin and the Book of Naaru reached a brand new deal.
For every bit of divinity Marvin provided him, he revealed to Marvin some secrets that Marvin wanted to know.
Marvin knew that this deal was very dangerous. The experience of Madeline had made Marvin wary of the Book of Naaru - [Rebirth]. However, given the effectiveness of the Witch's Tears, Marvin believed that he could probably suppress the Book of Naaru. It was still helpful to ask a few crucial questions occasionally.
…
Darkness is the only tone.
When Marvin's feet stepped on the wet stone slabs, he smelled a burnt odor.
It's like a bad cook ruining a barbecue.
There was no light, no fire, only chaotic darkness and turbid air.
The environment here is simply terrible.
"I knew that the advanced night walker was the best choice."
However, dark environments are completely commonplace for Marvin.
"More than three-quarters of Fenan's copies are dungeons, and in most dungeons, dark vision is a very advantageous invisibility ability."
Marvin still remembered that in his previous life, several large guilds were trying to open up a new dungeon instance, which caused the prices of equipment that added [Infrared Vision] and [Low-Light Vision] to skyrocket.
Darkvision, on the other hand, is apparently an even rarer thing.
He moved quickly and, relying on his sense of smell, soon arrived at the place where the burnt smell came from.
A large dry area appeared on the wet floor.
The area was still warm and covered with ash. Only at the edge of the area did Marvin catch half a fat maggot.
It is not dead yet, it is still struggling to survive.
As soon as it touched Marvin's fingers, it desperately showed its weapon - a thin cotton needle.
It can pierce human skin and suck human blood.
Bang!
With just a little force, Marvin crushed the ignorant guy to death.
The system showed that he gained a pitifully small amount of experience points.
"Dragon's Breath... Maggots of Darkness..."
"It seems that Earl or the ancient black dragon just passed by..."
Marvin's judgment was simple.
This place was probably once the nest of the Dark Maggots, which moved around nearby and regarded this place as their own territory.
Until an unexpected visitor arrived.
Only red dragons and black dragons can spit out fire dragon breath.
If it was a black dragon, Marvin would not be afraid. The black dragon among the five colored dragons was the only one that he could control. Otherwise, the ancient black dragon Izakka would not have been tortured by him and served him obediently.
However, if it is a red dragon, you have to be more careful.
Earl was a very scary guy, and Marvin didn't want to meet him on the first floor.
But the space of the underground temple is very strange.
This is the bridge connecting the main material world and the nightmare realm. There has been a certain distortion in time and space, and Marvin's ability to enter the shadow plane at any time has been curbed.
He didn't dare to act recklessly. In such a place where time and space were distorted, he would be teleported to some corner of the boundless universe if he was not careful.
I was lucky to be rescued by Bending and Jessica last time. This time, I guess no one will care about me in the dark temple.
He kept his composure and searched bit by bit.
The structure of the temple is very grand and majestic.
The underground floor is ten meters high and very spacious.
For some unknown reason, most of the floor was damp. Marvin was always very curious about where the moisture came from.
Maybe the second level is where a river flows?
He turned a corner and suddenly saw a figure.
Marvin frowned. The figure stood still, looking at a huge statue with great interest.
"I really don't know whether to say that I am unlucky or you are lucky..."
Ma Wen muttered to himself and walked over quickly.
Even with random teleportation, he was able to bump into Butterfly so quickly. Is this guy's luck at MAX?
The wood elf held his chin, looking at the huge statue and reading the words on it.
Marvin asked bluntly: "First, this is a dark space. Wood elves don't seem to have dark vision, right?"
"Second, it's in Dragon language. Do you understand Dragon language? "
Die seemed to be startled and suddenly turned around. When she saw it was Marvin, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I can't see, so I wear a pair of glasses."
She pointed to the cute and playful glass mirror on her nose and said, "It helps me see in the dark. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to venture into the underground temple."
Marvin added in his mind, "You shouldn't have come."
Butterfly said to herself:
"As for Dragon Language... Although I have never learned it, I just discovered today that I seem to have a talent for languages!"
"Anyway, I recognize all the words on it."
Ma Wen's heart moved.
He looked at the statue. It was a giant dragon with its wings spread, and the dragon's head seemed familiar to him.
"It says that the dragon's name is [Titomas the Loyal], so are you interested in hearing his story?"
Die asked casually.
