Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 57 A Brand New World
The black dragon Ikalina was not acting alone, there was a man in a blue robe standing next to her.
It's not hard to guess that this is an ancient blue dragon.
The two men were whispering, seemingly discussing some agreement.
Because they were speaking Dragon language, Marvin couldn't understand what they were saying.
However, the fact that Ikalina had discovered his whereabouts before had reminded Marvin to some extent.
The perception of these dragons does not seem to be affected by the temple or the five-colored altar, so I must be more careful.
The blue dragon's strength is average, but any dragon that reaches the ancient level is only average in relative terms.
In fact, for Marvin, even with the Weeping Sky in his hand, it would be very troublesome to face a dragon that could use magic.
Dragons are naturally sensitive to murderous intent, so even if they want to launch a sneak attack, they may not succeed.
Marvin was able to kill Fati one-on-one, which was somewhat due to luck and also had something to do with his opponent's underestimation of him.
As for the ancient five-colored dragons, except for the black dragon, Marvin was not sure he could defeat them in a one-on-one fight.
In fact, he also relied on the power of magical weapons to deal with the black dragon.
After all, he has only been a legend for a short time. Although humans are the race with the most terrifying potential, it takes time and effort to turn that potential into strength.
…
So after discovering the two giant dragons, Marvin did not act rashly, but kept a certain distance from them, following them neither too far nor too close.
He knew that the top priority at this moment was to find the nightmare realm.
Even if you want to kill Ikalina, there will be plenty of opportunities after entering the nightmare realm, so there is no need to rush.
As it is closer to the Dragon God's tomb, the divinity overflowing from this place is stronger, and therefore more monsters with divine templates are nurtured.
But this is just a piece of cake for the ancient dragons.
Marvin followed behind them with great ease, not having to fight any monsters himself, and just went deeper and deeper.
In fact, it is said that underneath the underground temple is the tomb of the Dragon God. However, no one can be sure whether this rumor is true.
The target of the five-colored dragons is the nightmare realm. According to legend, the entrance to the nightmare realm is in a hall on the third floor.
As Marvin walked along, the buildings and stone walls around him became increasingly low-key and dark.
The third underground floor gives people a vague feeling of oppression, as if there is a beast with gnashing teeth and sucking blood lurking in the dark, which may jump out and bite you at any time.
The sculptures lining the corridors and halls also became more lifelike, as if they could come alive at any time.
These are all statues of dragon guards.
But what was a little strange was that the expressions of these dragon guard statues were all very ferocious, completely different from the [Loyal Tithomas] that Marvin encountered on the first floor.
Obviously, they were made by different craftsmen.
Some of the statues have terrible traps attached to them. Marvin doesn't dare to touch them easily, but he can see them.
All in all, the third level of the underground temple is more dangerous than the previous two levels.
The reason why Marvin was so successful was entirely because he followed the two ancient dragons.
With the two dragons as pioneers, it would be easy for Marvin as long as he doesn't lose them.
Soon, the two people in front arrived at a spacious hall.
This hall is different from the other halls. There stands a giant statue of the Dragon God Hartson!
"It seems that this is the main temple."
"The place where the descendants of the five-colored dragons and their related branches worship the Dragon God Hartson."
Marvin watched the two people walk towards the statue of the Dragon God. He had an idea and did not step into the hall, but hid outside.
He turned on stealth and waited patiently.
Because if this is the entrance to the nightmare realm, then the two of them would not be able to get far.
They need to wait for the arrival of other five-colored dragons before they can open the secret realm.
Especially the green dragon Morgana, who holds the key to opening the nightmare realm.
Sure enough, while Marvin was waiting, two dragons began to wander in the hall.
They occasionally communicated in Dragon Language, but not much. At times like this, Marvin really wanted to learn Dragon Language.
It hurts so much not to understand their conversation.
It’s a pity that the Book of Naaru cannot be used for the time being. I have to find a way to learn the dragon language later.
There seems to be a chance on the professor's side.
Both the five-colored dragons and the metal dragons come from the Gemini plane and are of the same origin, so their dragon language is the same, but their magic and attributes are different.
…
Marvin waited outside the hall for about half an hour. Not only did the five-colored dragons arrive one after another, but one of his teammates also arrived.
In fact, when Louise transformed into a gecko and crawled past Marvin, he almost slashed her with his sword.
Fortunately, the other party revealed his identity in time, otherwise not only would his teammates be injured by mistake, but the two of them might also be exposed.
Louise is a close friend of sword master Conn and is said to be an extremely powerful spellcaster.
Since he is Kang En's friend, he must be a strong man in the Dead Zone. The Dead Zone is full of hidden talents, so it is normal that there are some strong men that Marvin has never heard of.
After whispering a greeting, Louise continued to transform into a gecko.
Her transformation technique is also amazing, and there seems to be no trace of magic.
Perhaps it was because she was so skilled and courageous, after she transformed into a gecko, she actually crawled directly into the hall, unlike Marvin who just dared to watch from outside.
Marvin didn't know Louise very well, and both of them were commissioned by their friends, so it was normal for them to do their own things.
It's just that this mysterious woman gave him a provocative feeling.
"She could have just greeted him directly. For a spellcaster of her level, it shouldn't be difficult to communicate with him over a short distance, right?"
"He turned into a gecko and crawled over here. He just wanted to test me."
"This woman is also boring..."
Marvin's heart is as clear as a mirror. Louise seems mysterious, but her actions just now have revealed some details.
There is no way this woman could be a low-key or peaceful person.
His mind began to recall experiences from his past lives.
However, the name Louise was too common. In the missions Marvin had run before, there were two or three women named Louise, but no one as powerful as this spellcaster.
While waiting, Professor Red Copper Dragon and swordsmanship master Kang En had not arrived yet, which made Marvin a little worried.
There are four places in the Nightmare Realm where crystal statues and rainbow springs may be hidden. If there are only two people on your side, the possibility of getting the treasure first will be greatly reduced.
But it seems to be too late.
Because the five-colored dragons have gathered under the statue of the Dragon God.
They gathered around the statue very attentively and began to whisper something.
Ma Wen's heart moved and he sneaked over quietly.
At this time, the dragons' perception must have been reduced to the lowest level, but Marvin was still very confident in his stealth.
Who knew that at this moment, a voice as soft as a mosquito's humming rang out in his heart:
"Why are you so brave all of a sudden, little one?"
Marvin frowned and looked at the gecko on the ceiling, but couldn't speak.
The other party did not use telepathic communication but one-way messaging, which made Marvin a little annoyed.
It feels terrible to be teased and not be able to fight back .
Fortunately, the actions of the five-colored dragon quickly attracted the attention of the two.
…
In the spacious main temple, five giant dragons each occupy one side.
As they murmured softly, halos of light floated down from the statues and enveloped them one by one.
In an instant, it seemed as if an ancient soul awakened.
A bright halo suddenly bloomed inside the statue.
The green dragon Morgana suddenly waved out a heart-shaped pendant.
The pendant merged into the halo, and the green dragon began a series of chants.
The difficult dragon language began to echo in the hall.
And that soul from ancient times seemed to have awakened more thoroughly, and in the halo, it seemed as if something was about to explode!
Two minutes later, with the coordinated casting of spells by the five-colored dragons, a roar suddenly sounded!
The statue of the Dragon God Hartson exploded just like that!
The terrifying stones radiated divine energy, and the entire hall began to shake.
Fortunately, this hall was obviously reinforced by divine power, and such a violent shock did not destroy it.
The five people on the edge of the statue did not expect that the opening of the nightmare realm would cause such a big commotion.
Several people were hit by the huge rocks, and the green dragon and the white dragon were even knocked flying.
Fortunately, they are ancient dragons with extremely strong physical fitness. Even if they are weakened by the advanced transformation technique, they can still stand up by patting their clothes after being hit by such a terrifying impact.
Marvin saw it clearly. At the moment of the explosion, it seemed as if a soul had been freed from the statue.
The one who suffered the strongest impact was not the other dragons, but the ancient red dragon Earl!
At least four huge rocks carrying divine energy fell on him.
However, these stones were automatically crushed into powder before hitting Earl.
It is obvious that the strength of the ancient red dragon is a level higher even among its peers.
"Even if it's not at the level of a plane guardian, it's almost there."
"This guy is really amazing... If the Wizarding Alliance hadn't had a legendary wizard who had practiced the Dragon Slayer Sword, the six southern Pearl Harbors would probably not have been able to defend themselves!"
Ma Wen was horrified.
At the same time, he also silently gave up the idea of dealing with Earl.
The treasure on Earl is the richest, because his underwater lair [Lava Palace] is the first legendary copy opened by Fenan in the previous life game.
The so-called legendary-level copy is a copy that requires at least 20 legendary characters to complete.
There are countless treasures in the Lava Palace, and they appear randomly every time .
Marvin didn’t know what the Lava Palace would be like in reality, but it must be richer than the treasures given in the game.
After all, the ancient red dragon buried all his life's treasures there.
The guardians of the Lava Palace are not easy to deal with.
The most powerful guardian is naturally the final BOSS Earl. In addition to him, there are two female dragons, a sword master who has been bewitched by mind control for a thousand years, and a dragon nest filled with lava... In short, it is extremely difficult to pass the Lava Palace.
But the official also gave another shortcut.
That is to kill the ancient red dragon Earl while he is out.
That way you can get the key to the Lava Palace.
With these keys, you can skip many of the difficulties ahead and just need to kill the last two female dragons.
At the beginning, Marvin still had some hope for the key on Earl.
But now, he has completely given up the idea.
He estimated that he had to at least upgrade the Lord of Darkness to level 4 before he could consider slaying the ancient dragon.
With his current strength, he can probably only steal some chickens and bully the black dragon because it has no magical ability.
…
The only thing that made Marvin feel a little relieved was that during the explosion, Louise, who turned into a gecko, was also in a very embarrassing situation.
Several pieces of rubble flew toward the ceiling. If she hadn't dodged them nimbly, she would have been exposed.
As for Marvin, he was not affected at all because he hid far away.
After the explosion, the huge halo at the location of the statue began to converge.
Gradually, the halo faded, and a void portal appeared on the ground covered with rubble.
"This portal is a bit too complicated..."
Marvin only has a passing knowledge of plane studies.
However, because of the previous conquest of the Pushen plane, I made up for some relevant knowledge.
This portal is clearly not a portal to a certain demiplane!
This is the gateway to a new world!
…
The five-colored dragons showed joy on their faces, looked at each other, and walked onto the teleportation array without hesitation.
Their figures quickly disappeared in the hall.
Louise and Marvin appeared outside the teleportation array at the same time.
"An interdimensional portal."
"It's not a mosaic structure, it's actually a suspended attraction structure..."
"The Nightmare Realm... is indeed the same as the legend says, the final refuge of the dragon race... a new world?"
Louise looked solemn as she stared at the teleportation array and muttered to herself.
After hearing her words, Marvin became more certain of his opinion.
The nightmare realm is not a demiplane, but may be a main world like Fenan!
At worst, it’s a secondary plane!
"The nightmare realm was created by the Dragon God Hartson himself..."
"Does he actually have the ability to create the world?"
Ma Wen was somewhat shocked.
According to him, the gods in the heavenly kingdom currently do not have such ability.
They conquered the secondary planes and could create their own kingdoms, but they could not create the main world.
From this point of view, Dragon God Hartson seems to be better.
However, such a powerful Dragon God still could not avoid the fate of falling, and he was no match for Lance.
It can be seen how powerful the Wizard God is.
…
"Stop being in a daze, kid."
Louise called out, "Conn and the professor are still on their way, we have to get started first."
Marvin shrugged: "Let's go."
Who knew that Louise would say seriously: "Wait... before you step into this portal, I suddenly feel that it is necessary to warn you."
"Once you go in, you may not come back."
"The legendary nightmare realm is a new world created by the Dragon God to protect his descendants after he foresaw the destruction of Fenan."
"This is not like the refuge of the high elves or dwarves. This is a completely new world. You are not a spellcaster, and you don't have the ability to travel across planes. Once this portal breaks down, you are likely to get lost in the nightmare realm."
