Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 440: Disaster Dragon
Looking at the three advancement routes in front of him, Murphy fell into deep thought.
These three advanced routes have their own advantages and disadvantages, and some of them are very obvious.
The Dragon Domain Commander has a legion to assist him, has a huge force, and many subordinates. He can be said to be a very standard BOSS template, and his overall strength seems to be the strongest.
The Lone Dragon Overlord takes the solo route and has strong individual strength, especially in a one-on-one duel with the BOSS. He is probably the strongest one among the three. The 30% enhancement in size and attributes can increase the damage quite terrifyingly.
The advancement rewards for the Disaster Dragon are somewhat complicated, but after careful study, Murphy discovered that this so-called touching the boundary of the gods should be the most impressive one among the three, and also the one with the highest growth potential.
From a value perspective, it’s hard to choose.
But in the final analysis, there is no most powerful advancement in the world, only the advancement that suits you best. It is relatively easy to draw a conclusion by analyzing your current situation.
Murphy thought for a moment and rejected the Dragon Territory Commander first.
As the leader of the Dragonslayer Knights and the Protector of Alterac, he has thousands of extraordinary soldiers under his command. In terms of combat power alone, they are not much weaker than the dragons. In addition, he has the influence of the top leaders of the alliance, so it is easy for him to gather troops if he really wants to fight a group fight or a big war.
In this way, the value of the dragon group cannot be reflected, so among the three advanced routes, the Dragon Domain Commander is the lowest value.
Relatively speaking, it is more important to improve personal strength.
My goal is to hunt down the ancient dragons. These ancient dragons will most likely have their own copies. It would be useless if I couldn't pull more troops into the copies.
Advancing to the Lone Dragon Overlord and the Disaster Dragon can both improve personal strength. The difference is that the Lone Dragon Overlord mainly improves melee combat, while the Disaster Dragon mainly improves miracle spells.
Warrior or priest, that is the question.
Judging from the point of view of fighting against the ancient dragon alone, the Lone Dragon Overlord is undoubtedly more practical and invincible in a one-on-one fight.
However, after much hesitation, Murphy decided to choose the Disaster Dragon.
There was no other reason. No matter how strong he was in melee combat, even someone as strong as Ankarad could still be defeated by their various legendary spells and divine spells.
It is not difficult to see from Ankara’s failure that no matter how strong the body is, it has its limits.
No matter how strong the physical strength is, it is useless in the face of the power of the law. An earth traction will pull you to the ground, an eternal frost will destroy one of your wings, and an ultra-large-scale swamp spell will make your brute force useless.
There is no future for the Myofascius.
But the Disaster Dragon is different. It has the ability to absorb the power of faith, which is equivalent to becoming a secondary god. Although it is not as powerful and transcendent as the twelve main gods, it is at least at the level of a demigod in the wilderness.
As long as the BOSS has the word "God" in it, it is equivalent to ascending to a higher dimension, and its power is incomparable to that of ordinary people.
Even though mortals can kill gods, such as Hellscream defeating Cenarius, no one would think that Cenarius is weaker than Hellscream, he just couldn't defeat Destiny.
In essence, the two exist at different levels.
Cenarius was killed, but can still be resurrected.
The rebirth of the earth by Emperor Shenwu also relies on the divine power of the Mother Goddess of the Earth.
It can be seen that gods are more popular in the world of the sky.
My goal is to transform into an ancient dragon, advance to the dragon god, and become one of the main gods, so why not start with the disaster dragon.
The biggest drawback of the advancement of the Disaster Dragon is that it takes a long time to take effect. Unlike the Lone Dragon Overlord, its strength will be doubled immediately after clicking on it, 30% of the size + 30% of the basic attributes. This alone is extremely powerful.
The Calamity Dragon has several skills that are quite fancy and look cool but the actual improvement is not that great.
However, it has great growth potential. The deeper the mortal's faith, the stronger his strength will be, and there is no upper limit.
The method of gaining faith is also very simple and difficult. You just need to create disasters to arouse fear in people's hearts, and then start praying or cursing yourself. This will generate the power of faith, and then use the power of faith to create miracles and cause more disasters.
If it works well, it can enter a virtuous cycle and become stronger and stronger.
Of course, if it doesn't work well, for example, there aren't many intelligent lives in the area where the disaster occurs, and no one sees it, then naturally there's no power of faith, and then maybe there's even a loss.
However, Murphy has a unique advantage - that is his companion storm.
The miracle of the storm itself is mainly composed of various strong winds, storms, hurricanes, and tornadoes. In other words, the accompanying storm itself is a disaster, and it is a disaster that never stops. In other words, it is equivalent to having a free faith harvester. Combined with the belief system of the disaster dragon, it can undoubtedly harvest the faith of mortals like a perpetual motion machine.
"If foolish mortals dare not pray to me, I will send the companion storm to blow you every day , and then the faith will come to you in a rush."
Thinking of this, Murphy has made up his mind.
It's you, the Calamity Dragon!
Murphy nodded sharply.
The next moment, Murphy felt an invisible divine power suddenly emerge in his body, a powerful storm force swirled around him, and his wings suddenly spread out involuntarily. In an instant, strong winds blew in all directions, making the surrounding Centaur tents rustle.
Murphy felt as if he had merged with the storm. His huge body was unusually light, and he soared into the air with just a flick of his wings. The strong wind was still blowing, forming an extremely large wind field with the Storm Dragon as the center, almost covering the entire Haotian City.
Murphy looked at the players around him who were struggling in the strong wind, and at some NPCs who were affected by the divine power kneeling on the ground to pray, and a sense of pride like a god arose in his heart.
So that's it, is this the power of the Disaster Dragon?
Is this the power of the devil in the minds of mortals?
So powerful, so beautiful!
He reveled in the pleasure of being superior to all mortals, but he also noticed the origin of the storm.
[Secondary Storm Field (Passive Skill)
On: Generates a secondary storm area around you, within which all your enemies will be affected by environmental effects.
Skill Introduction: The domain of the Storm Dragon. The Storm Dragon is a terrifying monster that will bring disaster and destruction. Wherever it passes, strong winds blow, dark clouds press down, thunder and lightning flash, and storms descend - this is an ominous sign of the arrival of the Disaster Dragon. 】
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and a huge cyclone was gradually forming. The dark clouds blocked the sun and covered the sky in darkness. Under the strong wind, a huge vortex-like shape was formed, and lightning was faintly flashing in it.
If you look at Haotian City from a distance, it looks as if the city is shrouded in an ominous storm, which is quite scary.
Murphy could feel that everything around him was a terrifying scene derived from his power.
The centaur neighed in fear.
The night elf adventurer pointed at the sky.
Even some tents were blown away by the storm.
Boom! A bolt of lightning struck the street, causing only environmental damage, but it still scared people away.
Murphy was extremely excited, and it seemed as if the depths of his soul were trembling with the storm.
Haha, that's it, that's it! Destruction and disaster, let the world tremble in front of the power of the Storm Dragon, let them beg for forgiveness from Aidan Deron.
At this moment, Emperor Shenwu and Morgan Lisa, who were watching the horse racing competition at the racecourse, also noticed the changes in the sky.
Morgan Lisa (Arcanist): "What the hell is Aidan doing?"
Emperor Shenwu (King of Centaurs): "He has upgraded his rank! No, we have to hurry over before he destroys this city."
The Great Emperor Shenwu was an expert on this, he had been a BOSS for a period of time and had advanced to a world- class BOSS. When he advanced, he chose the [Chosen One of the Earth] level, and some unusual signs also occurred there, but compared to the scene before him, it was obviously not on the same level.
Damn, is the Dragon King's advancement so domineering? I'm a little envious.
However, this feeling of envy disappeared in an instant. As the first legendary hero player at present, Emperor Shenwu is still very powerful. If he is willing to turn evil, he can even transform into a world-destroying boss immediately.
There is no need to envy others for such an existence.
The Shenwu Emperor rushed towards the center of the storm. At this moment, a huge tornado had formed around the Storm Dragon, swirling down from the sky.
The Shenwu Emperor suddenly took out a staff - the Scepter of the King of Earth!
Emperor Shenwu (King of Centaurs): "Storm Dragon King, calm your anger. In the name of Mother Earth, I command you to calm your storm!"
Boom! He thrust his staff into the ground.
The earth seemed to be responding to the call of the Emperor Shenwu. A powerful gravity instantly caused the buildings that were about to be blown away to fall back to the ground.
Murphy also felt his body sink and almost fell.
He finally came back to his senses from his excitement and enthusiasm, feeling confused and shocked - Damn it, what's wrong with me?
This feeling was somewhat similar to the feeling of being affected by the black dragon Morpheus, but not exactly the same. There was no other consciousness in his consciousness, but there seemed to be an invisible force affecting his mind, making him have the urge to destroy everything.
He quickly calmed down, closed the storm field, and then slowly landed. However, the impulse did not disappear until Murphy turned back into human form and disappeared abruptly.
The storm in the sky also gradually began to dissipate.
Seeing Murphy turned back into a human, the Emperor Shenwu ran over with a mixture of anger and amusement, "Brother, you are really too polite. Don't do this if you want to upgrade. This is my main city. Look, you almost demolished it."
Fortunately, the main buildings of Haotian City have been changed to rock-built ones. If they were still the old tents, they would probably be blown away.
Murphy was confused and uncertain in his heart, but he remained calm on his face.
"Hahaha, don't get excited. I'm just advertising for you. Making such a big fuss will make it a hot topic. Look how excited those players are."
Not only were they excited, many adventurers had already run over with swords drawn, wanting to fight the BOSS.
"Where's the dragon? Where did the dragon go? Who has seen such a big dragon? Where did it go?"
"I just saw it fall over here."
"Lord City Lord, where did the dragon go? Did you chase it away?"
However, there were players who had participated in the Battle of Ahn'Qiraj and noticed Murphy at first sight.
"Don't look for it. The dragon was transformed from that human."
"Fuck, a human can turn into a dragon, what kind of magic is this?"
When the crowd dispersed, Emperor Shenwu called Mo Fei back to his royal tent.
Although the Centaurs have built a city, they still retain some nomadic characteristics. The city lord's hall is shaped like a big tent. Of course, it is actually built with rocks and huge trees, but it is covered with animal skins on the outside, which makes it look a bit like the Centaur style.
Emperor Shenwu (King of Centaurs): "Looking at your movements just now, could it be that you have advanced to the vassal or chosen one of the Storm God?"
Murphy shook his head. "No, but it's almost the same. I advanced to the Calamity Dragon, which is similar to the Demigod of the Wilderness. It is also somewhat related to the gods and can absorb the power of faith, but it is not under the management of the God of Storms, nor is it a follower of the gods."
The gods' followers are affiliated with the gods, so they do not have their own temples. Instead, they appear directly in the main temple as accessories. For example, in the temple of the Goddess of Life, there is the image of the Red Dragon Queen. Sometimes she appears as an ally of the Goddess of Life, and sometimes she appears as a mount.
The advantage of doing this is that it saves trouble. You can directly gain faith points from the belief system of the Goddess of Life, and you can also mobilize the power of the laws of the life field.
The downside is that no matter how powerful you are, you cannot surpass the gods you serve, because in the beliefs of mortals you are just someone's younger brother.
Murphy's business is like starting a new business, which is equivalent to industry competition in the domain of the God of Storms. The Storm Temple is a chain supermarket, and the Disaster Dragon is a small store opposite the chain supermarket. Although it is a small store, it will still divert customers, so it is likely to arouse the hostility of the gods.
The Emperor Shenwu was also knowledgeable. He was a little surprised. "Brother, why are you so narrow-minded? It's so good to be a follower of God. When you encounter a crisis, you can cling to him and summon a miracle. If you go against God, what if he punishes you or issues a divine punishment mission one day? Then a bunch of storm servants will come to deal with you. By the way, Al'Akir seems to be a follower of the God of Storms..."
Murphy didn't care. "What are you afraid of? I've never seen those main gods descend. If they send their minions to cause trouble for me, I will kill as many as they come."
This is indeed true. The twelve main gods in the world of the sky are more like background boards and settings such as game rules. They have never revealed their true identities.
The Storm Dragon is immune to wind damage and has a very high resistance to lightning. The Wind Element is also immune to lightning damage and has 50% resistance to physical attacks. If the Storm Dragon fights against the Wind Element, it will basically be a tickle to each other.
So Murphy is really not afraid.
"By the way, can you please do me a favor? Help me build a temple for the Disaster Dragon in Haotian City."
Emperor Shenwu was somewhat speechless. "Why are you building a temple here? Doesn't the evil god rely on creating terror to gain faith?"
"I can't help it. I have a new belief system and I don't have a temple. I can absorb as much as I can."
The biggest difference between the evil god and the main god is that the main god needs the prayers and faith of believers.
The demon can gain faith points as long as it arouses fear among mortal races.
However, it is still necessary to build as many temples as possible. Temples have three functions.
1. It can be used as a signal base station to absorb the power of faith. Although creating terror can gain faith points, praying can also do the same.
2. As long as someone prays in the temple, they can communicate with the devil. If enough sacrifices are made, miracles can be summoned. Different evil gods require different sacrifices. Some powerful demon lords will even use the image of evil gods to tempt mortals to sacrifice their souls to them, and use power as temptation.
3. Increase the power of miracles, and gain an extra 10% bonus when performing miracles in the area around the temple.
However, building a temple is very expensive, and it must be built in a city.
Not without the consent of the city ruler.
Murphy plans to build two first, one in Haotian City and one in Alterac, which can radiate to the Eastern Continent and Kalimdor.
Most evil gods would build their temples in very hidden locations. When I was tasked with clearing out the cultists, I demolished one.
But he didn't intend to do so. He was the ruler himself, so of course he could build it directly in the city.
The Emperor Shenwu was somewhat helpless. "I am the chosen one of the Earth Mother Goddess. How can I build a temple for the Storm Dragon in the city?"
"I can perform miracles of storms. If you need anything in the future, you can ask me for help at any time as long as you make a sacrifice in the temple. My miracles are mainly to create extreme apocalypses such as storms, tornadoes, and hurricanes. I can also calm storms. It is equivalent to a weather controller. It will definitely be useful for you in future wars.
And if you need precipitation, I can also send a storm with rain from the sea, so that it will be convenient to farm in the barren land in the future."
Emperor Shenwu's eyes lit up, this was quite a good idea.
Weather weapons, this is a high-end and classy configuration.
"Okay, that's settled. I'll repair the temple."
"Then I'll take my leave. I've been away for so long, it's time to go back to Alterac."
Murphy decided to oversee the construction of the Temple of Alterac as the Lord Protector. If possible, he even wanted to make the belief in the Calamity Dragon the official belief of Alterac.
If you have the right but don't use it, isn't it a waste?
