Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 510: Forging Authority
At this moment, in another timeline - the Dragon Thunder Storm on the top of Tongtian Peak
In the sky outside.
Dense groups of dragons were circling in the sky. The five dragon kings led the dragon army with thousands of dragons of all sizes to surround Tongtian Peak.
Nozdormu can share memories of different timelines, so when the four dragon kings from another world besieged Tongtian Peak, the five dragon kings here also gathered their forces and launched a siege.
This is mainly done to prevent the Storm Dragon King from escaping back to this timeline, and to wait here intentionally.
While other dragons could wait peacefully, Nozdormu always stood on a mountain, with his eyes closed, constantly reading his own memories in another world.
Suddenly, Nozdormu opened his eyes.
The four dragon kings around hurriedly gathered around.
Alexstrasza asked impatiently, "What happened to Nozdormu? How is the situation over there? Has the Storm Dragon King been dealt with? Or has it escaped again?"
Nozdormu showed an indescribable look, "No, the operation failed. The dragon army was defeated."
What!
The four dragon kings looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.
Morpheus was surprised and said, "You are kidding, even if one black dragon king is missing, how could the four dragon kings plus the thousands of dragons in the dragon army be defeated? Even Deathwing can't resist such a powerful army!"
Nozdormu shook his head: "How could I joke about such a thing? The fact is, Aidandelon has transformed into an ancient dragon, and his power has become extremely powerful. The four dragon kings are no match for him at all, and even the power of protection cannot resist him.
The dragon army in that timeline was slaughtered and suffered heavy casualties. Now the dragon army has withdrawn from the battlefield."
Morpheus was shocked. "Are ancient dragons so powerful? Even the guardian dragons are..."
His knowledge of Gu Long only came from some ancient records, which was not comparable to that of the other parties involved.
Alexstrasza retorted, "No, even the ancient dragons are not invincible. We all know this. Nozdormu, what is going on?"
Nozdormu sighed, "I don't know either. I don't know why his power suddenly became so powerful, even more powerful than the ancient dragons I remember. Maybe he is really the reincarnation predicted by the Dragon God. In any case, we must retreat immediately, otherwise once he returns to this timeline, we will have to fight him.
In that case, we would also suffer huge casualties, and there is a high probability that we will not win. I can feel the fear and awe of my other self. That kind of power is beyond my comprehension."
Nozdormu never imagined that there would be such a thing as heroic feats.
If they disbanded the dragon army, they would have a great chance of winning with five against one, but if they started the battle with the army, they would instead provide buffs for the opponent.
The four dragon kings found it hard to accept this.
We mobilized the entire dragon army, but they ran away before they even showed up. This is so embarrassing.
But looking at Nozdormu's serious expression, the four dragon kings knew that they could not hesitate on such matters.
Alexstrasza said: "Let's retreat first and go back to the Dragon Islands to make long-term plans. Aidandelon devoured the dragon's heart in order to seize the power and transform into an ancient dragon. Now that he has transformed into an ancient dragon, he should not continue to be our enemy. Even so, we must be prepared..."
This can be considered as finding a way out.
Morpheus couldn't believe it when he heard it - he actually did it.
Morpheus took a look at the dragon soul embedded in his palm. The dragon scale looked very ancient and had a rock-like texture. It was exactly what Neltharion had made it with the scales of an ancient dragon. The power of an ancient dragon... It seemed that he was not the only one who wanted to become a Dragon God.
"Then let's retreat!"
Kalecgos ordered the blue dragons to open the portal, and the dragon army entered the portal in groups and disappeared.
This action greatly disappointed the players below Tongtian Peak.
Because some adventurers discovered the gathering of the dragon army, many players gathered to watch the fun, but they didn't see anything and it just ended like that.
And on a mountain thousands of kilometers away from Tongtian Peak, Lesajes suddenly opened her eyes.
There was also an expression of disbelief on her face. Behind her were four other ancient dragons.
'Ghostly Death Dragon' Freshanks.
'The Collapse of the Earth' Iludikon.
'Desolate Frost' Willanos.
'The world is burned by fire' Felix.
Lysajes turned around and said, "The dragon army retreated. Aidandelon defeated the guardian dragon and dragon army of another timeline. The five dragon kings here were scared away."
Just as the guardian dragons were chasing and intercepting Murphy, Lesajess also received an alliance message from Murphy using the wind element.
However, she did not lend a helping hand. On the one hand, there was not much trust between the two sides. On the other hand, while the dragon army was distracted by the Storm Dragon King, she took the opportunity to rescue the last disaster dragon. Now that the four disaster dragons have gathered, it's time to do something big.
Lesajess couldn't help but pay attention to the unusual movements of the dragon army.
She was also very curious about what would happen to Aidandelon when faced with the siege of the guardian dragon.
At this time, he used wind language to learn that the Storm Dragon King had transformed into an ancient dragon and defeated the four dragon kings. He was also full of disbelief.
Iludikon was surprised, "Is that Aidandelon really that powerful?"
“It will only get stronger. The last time I saw him, he personally killed three ancient dragons. Although it was a sneak attack and the three dragons were severely damaged by us, it was still an amazing achievement.
And now, he was able to escape unscathed from the Five Dragon Kings and take the full force of the Dragon Soul...
Even now - he has become even more powerful, directly transformed into an ancient dragon. His strength is beyond imagination. Maybe he is now the strongest among the dragons. "
Ancient Dragon...
This name caused the five ancient dragons to fall silent, and a hint of nostalgia could not help but appear in their eyes.
The memories of the past were recalled again.
Ah——Gu Long.
Willanoz said excitedly, "Could he really be the reincarnation of the Dragon God? Why don't we go and join him!"
But it was hard for Lesajes to accept. She had done so much for this day, but in the end, she had to be someone's younger brother for no reason...
"Maybe, maybe not. We'll know when he comes back."
…
At this moment, Murphy didn't know that in the Ling timeline, there was a group of ancient dragons who wanted to join him waiting for him. He thought that the five dragon kings would bring their dragon legions to block the door.
Maybe there will be another fight.
So while there was still some time left before 24 hours, Murphy carefully counted what he had gained during this period.
First of all, his level has been raised again. Now his level has reached 85. The experience points given by slaying the dragon are really high.
The health value is as high as 525,000 without BUFF, which is already at the level of a guardian dragon.
Then there are the various attribute abilities that improve after transforming into a dragon.
I had a quick glance before and didn't quite understand it, but fortunately we won.
Now that there is no threat, he naturally wants to find out more about Gu Long's abilities.
Transforming into an ancient dragon did not bring about as huge a boost in strength as he had imagined.
The main reason is that I have already collected ten ancient dragon characteristics and have felt the power of many ancient dragons, so the feeling this time is not so strong.
However, there are quite a few special rewards.
The first is the change in creature type from dragon to ancient dragon.
Don't underestimate the difference in one word, dragon creatures are [supernatural creatures], roughly the same level as phoenixes, chimeras, storm giants, etc.
However, the ancient dragon is a [divine creature], which has divinity in itself. It is born at the same level as the demigods of the wilderness and can master the power of laws.
The second is to obtain the basic action module of the ancient dragon.
It is quite different from the action modules of ancient dragons and dragon clan. Strictly speaking, dragon clan still belongs to the category of biological creatures. They fly by flapping the air with their wings and fight by brute force like wild beasts.
Since the ancient dragon possesses extraordinary flying ability, it can perform more flexible and varied tactical moves in the air.
The limbs are longer and the dragon claws are more flexible, allowing for complex movements, allowing for the use of [Dragon Combat Skills].
Murphy studied the various unique fighting skills of the ancient dragons.
For example, the dragon fighting skill [Dragon Falling] that he had learned before was just a very common one in the list of basic skills of ancient dragons.
He has to learn these dragon fighting skills carefully, because next time he fights, he may not be so lucky to stack the Lone Hero and the Strongest Dragon BUFFs at the same time.
By then, with the dragon fighting skills, at least in hand-to-hand combat, I can defeat those beast-like dragons.
Now he has returned to his normal form, with 500,000 health points. His attributes have been increased to a certain extent because of his transformation into an ancient dragon, but they are far less exaggerated than before when he was in full buff state. However, with the dragon fighting skills, he would not take any guardian dragon seriously in a one-on-one fight.
But if the five dragon kings attack together, he still may not be able to withstand it, not to mention that the other party also has the dragon soul.
So at this time he was still quite alert and didn't feel that he could relax.
In addition to integrated capabilities such as action modules, dragon fighting skills, and extraordinary flight.
What surprised him most was the plot-derived skill of Forging Authority.
The reason why the dragon race is so powerful and can become superior creatures spread all over the world is that they can absorb various elemental powers, master them and become their own dragon abilities, and then adapt to various environments.
This strange ability was obviously inherited from the ancient dragons, but the ancient dragons were more powerful in this respect.
Up to five different attributes can be absorbed.
And because of the Dragon God's mission, he can directly forge this power into his own authority.
At present, the power of storm has become the first authority.
Next, he will absorb the protective power of the magic web in the heart of Malygos Dragon.
This time, you don’t need to eat the dragon’s heart, just use your skills to absorb it.
Murphy took out Malygos's dragon heart. At this moment, he could clearly feel the power of the laws contained in the dragon heart.
Reach out a dragon claw and grab the dragon's heart.
Seize the power - forge the authority!
Crack! The blue crystal-like dragon heart shattered instantly, and a trace of the power of the law related to the magic net was directly extracted from it.
This is part of the magic network protection power possessed by Malygos, and now it is finally mastered by Murphy.
[System prompt: You have forged a new authority - [Arcane Guardian], and the progress of your origin story mission - Path of the Dragon God has been improved. Current mission progress: 2/5.]
Murphy checked out this newfound authority.
[Authority 2: Arcane Guardian (Weak Authority). By absorbing the dragon heart of Malygos, the blue dragon king, you gained the authority to draw the arcane energy from the magic network, and thus mastered the authority of the arcane. However, since the power of the magic network guardian is not complete, your arcane authority is only at a weak level.]
Murphy thought to himself, it seems that this power also has different levels of strength.
His authority 1: Storm Power. It is a weak authority.
This time, a weak authority comes directly.
It seems that in order to obtain powerful authority, one must kill beings of the level of the Twelve Gods and Titans.
But even if it is only a slight power, it is still quite powerful.
After obtaining this authority, Murphy immediately found that he could directly call upon the arcane energy in the magic network. In theory, he now had inexhaustible mana.
What to do if you are out of mana? Just draw a tube from the magic network.
From now on, you won’t have to save mana when using any ultimate skill.
And he can now learn to use almost all magic.
If you go to Dalaran to study magic now, you will definitely be a top student.
Maybe when I have time I can go to Dalaran for further studies and play with some magic. I can also practice both magic and martial arts. It's always good to have many skills.
Speaking of magic, Murphy suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a magic scroll in his hand. He had been planning to find an opportunity to improve Vivian's favorability, but now he could learn it himself.
I rummaged through my backpack and actually found it.
[Gate of the Void (Magic Scroll)]——Wait a minute, I can do this by myself.
This is included in the equipment skills of Sargeras' Ring of Domination, and it is an enhanced version.
Murphy turned back into human form, looked at the Ring of Domination of Sargeras in his hand, and suddenly had an idea.
This thing is a divine weapon. Does that mean I can draw strength from it and build authority?
He wasn't quite sure either, so after thinking about it, he decided to ask someone.
"Hey, Sargeras, you still there?"
The ring unexpectedly did not respond.
This is new, because this remnant soul of Sargeras has always been a chatterbox, talking all the time whether there is anything to say or not.
Always tempting Murphy to learn evil power and turn to evil power.
I didn't expect that he suddenly became silent.
Murphy vaguely guessed the reason in his heart. Could it be that this guy was afraid of him?
Theoretically, this thing should be able to sense everything that happens around it, and it should see everything that I experience.
Murphy pretended to talk to himself, "It seems that the remaining soul of Sargeras has disappeared, so there is no need to keep this ring. It is just right to extract the power of the fel law from it..."
The residual spirit of Sargeras: "Wait a minute, don't do anything, I'm here."
As expected...
Aidan (King of Ancient Dragons): "Tell me, give me a reason not to cast you, I'll give you one minute."
The remnant spirit of Sargeras: "Listen Aidan, we have been together for such a long time, we can be considered friends, why do you have to scare me?"
Aidan (King of Ancient Dragons): "You're trying to get close to me, right? There are still 40 seconds left."
The residual soul of Sargeras: "I am just a fragment of Sargeras' soul. The power I hold is very limited. Even if you absorb me, you may not be able to forge authority. Instead, you will lose an artifact. Even if you succeed, you can only gain the weakest authority at most, which is of no help to you at all."
Aidan (King of Ancient Dragons): "That's better than nothing. There has to be a beginning to gain power. There are still 20 seconds left."
The residual soul of Sargeras: "Hehe, then what if I say that I can give you real powerful authority?"
"Oh, tell me about it." Murphy finally showed some interest.
The remnant soul of Sargeras: "I know all the plans of the Burning Legion. The Burning Legion has only four entrances to choose from when invading this world.
The Sunwell - the power of its waters has been ruined by the orcs.
Dalaran is guarded by human mages. With the current strength of the Alliance, it is difficult for a small number of demons to capture it.
The Eye of Eternity - The remains of the Well of Eternity located deep in the Maelstrom, but it is occupied by the Old Gods and their servants, and the Burning Legion cannot invade there.
Finally, there is the Tomb of Sargeras - Sargeras's body contains huge energy, and it will continue to absorb more energy. It is the best material to open the gate of time and space. If I guess correctly, the demon lords of the Burning Legion have already gone to the Tomb of Sargeras to carry out preliminary work. "
Murphy believed it immediately after hearing it. The Tomb of Sargeras did become the landing point for the Burning Legion to invade Azeroth.
That's true.
"You actually leaked the Burning Legion's plan to me. Aren't you afraid that I will stop it in advance?"
The remnant of Sargeras: "You won't. I know you very well, Aidan. You crave power. Once the Burning Legion descends upon this world, at least one of Kil'jaeden and Archimonde will come. If you can defeat them, you will gain the truly powerful authority of the evil power.
I can help you. I know more about the secrets of the Burning Legion than anyone else, including the weaknesses of Archimonde and Kil'jaeden. Without my help, you may not be able to defeat them, even if you can transform into an ancient dragon. The power of the Burning Legion is beyond your imagination. Even the dragon army and the night elves could not resist the attack of the Burning Legion. If the portal had not been destroyed, this world would have been occupied by us long ago."
Mo Fei thought that this tone was quite arrogant, but it was also true.
During the War of the Ancients, not only the dragon army and the night elves participated in the battle, but also countless demigods of the wilderness. In the end, a lot of demigods of the wilderness died, the Dark Night Empire was beaten to pieces, and the dragon army suffered heavy casualties.
In order to completely destroy the portal and stop the invasion of the Burning Legion, the Well of Eternity was detonated, and even the entire primitive continent was blown to pieces.
The strength of the Burning Legion is evident.
"Well, then I'll keep you for now and serve me well."
At this moment, the 24-hour time is finally up.
