Chapter 198 The Curse of Killing, Five Dragons Alliance

  …

  「Reminder: Your current level is LV16. If you want to continue to improve your level, you must continue to invest more XP and consume the practice points of the legendary way.

   (Current status: XP still has surplus points and insufficient points, so it is impossible to continue to upgrade)

  Your attributes have been improved: intelligence +1 & perception +1;

  伱's contract slot +4;

  You have acquired new abilities "Negative Energy Transformation" and "Death Curse";

Negative Energy Transformation: You can transform yourself by injecting negative energy into certain parts of your body in an appropriate amount. The parts that have undergone negative energy transformation will get extra natural armor, extra body strength, extra negative energy affinity and extra Overall casting speed bonus;

  Warning, the bottom line of negative energy transformation should not exceed 60% of the whole body, otherwise your body will irreversibly transform in the direction of the undead.

  Death Curse: Create a pale energy chain between you and a target, which cannot be interrupted by terrain structures, and can be extended up to 30 meters.

  When the target is held by the chain, the opponent's resistance to instant death will be greatly weakened.

  …

  Your ability "Dead Summoning" has been upgraded to "Multiple Necro Summoning".

  Multiple Undead Summoning: When you use Undead Summoning, you can maintain more summons with lower concentration and control them more finely;

  …

  Given your painstaking studies in the ways of the necromancer, you can choose one of the following three domains—

   Soul/Pale/Ghost Weapons. "

  …

  Dense information swiped across the screen in front of Matthew.

  Compared to the previous advancement, this time there is one less occupational characteristic, but the overall improvement still exists.

  Matthew first focused on the field selection.

  These three domains are all sub-domains of death, of which the soul is the wider and grander, but also the most attractive.

   "Pale" and "Ghost Weapon" are relatively narrow.

  Pale refers to a very special area in the underworld, as well as a general term for a type of undead mainly ghosts.

  Ghost weapons represent a field of weapon specialization that is highly related to negative energy.

  Matthew hesitated.

  First, "Ghost Weapon" was ruled out.

  As a spellcaster, with the head of Augustus already in his possession, Matthew thinks that he doesn't need to get too entangled in the field of weapons.

   And between "soul" and "pale".

   Matthew once leaned towards the former.

   After thinking for a while.

  He still chose "pale".

  The reason for not choosing "soul" is very simple. The domain brought by the advancement can only be passively accepted and cannot be actively explored.

  In this case, the soul domain is more random, and Matthew is not sure what he can gain.

  The pale area is much narrower, and the directionality is very clear.

  Matthew can guess what he can get by choosing the Pale Domain.

   Next second.

  …

  「Hint: You got the "Pale Realm".

-

  Your former temporary ability "Pale Hand" has solidified into a permanent ability, and retains all the previous characteristics.

-

  You gain favor with pale creatures (ghosts, wraiths, pale steeds, pale knights...) -

  You have obtained the permission to enter the "Pale Land (Underworld at any time. "

  …

   Sure enough.

  Pale Hand naturally became a permanent ability.

   This made Matthew secretly happy.

  Compared with "Claw of Estel", this ability has its own advantages and disadvantages. The key is that it does not require too much concentration to maintain, which gives him room to operate left and right.

   As for the permission to enter the underworld at any time, it is a small surprise.

   Matthew thought it would be nice to get something related to the Pale Land, but he didn't expect to turn a remote place in the underworld into his back garden!

  No matter how remote it is, it is the underworld that strangers should not enter.

   This means good strategic value for many mages.

  As for the pale creature's favorability, it's purely an addition.

  He did not intend to become the "Pale Lord".

   It is enough to let the ghosts under him feel at ease to work for themselves.

  Compared to fields that have become commonplace, the two newly acquired abilities are the biggest gains of this upgrade.

  Generally speaking, both negative energy transformation and the curse of death tend to be auxiliary abilities.

   But both have decent value.

  The former can strengthen Matthew's physical body at the cost of paying a certain amount of physical activity.

   But Matthew is very curious, if he uses the vitality of life to neutralize the erosion of negative energy, is there a chance to obtain the physical strength of negative energy transformation and avoid losing too many life elements in his body?

   And the latter is even more significant.

  Matthew currently has many spells and abilities that can be judged to be dead, but due to the low probability of judgment, these abilities are often not on the table.

  The Curse of Death will have a certain probability to reverse this situation.

   As long as it is locked by Matthew's energy chain.

   When the time comes, throw an instant death spell on the enemy.

  The other party was unlucky and died suddenly on the spot.

   This is undoubtedly a new hole card for Matthew.

In general.

  The strength improvement brought by the upgrade has.

   But it is not as obvious as expected.

  Matthew knew this well.

  The reason why he made the choice to upgrade was not to obtain a short-term increase in combat power, but to ensure that he could play a greater role in the next battle.

  After all, the black dragon has made a surprise attack on Rolling Stone Town.

  The next friction with the dragon is indispensable.

  He wants to develop with peace of mind.

  But some people don't allow it.

  So he can only find a way to get rid of these people who hinder him first.

   Just that battle.

   One of the reasons why the black dragon Mayonogas was able to escape smoothly in the end was that Matthew's spell was saved too much.

   He estimated it himself.

   At least 80% of the spells were exempted by the black dragon.

  This is also the reason why Matthew switched to melee mode behind.

  Level is indeed not the whole of combat power.

   But also part of it.

  When the third-level Matthew uses spells to attack the fifth-level black dragon, there will be an 80% chance of being directly exempted;

  Now that his level has reached the fourth level, the probability of immunity will directly drop to about 40%.

   This is not only because of the unique talent of the Dragon Clan, but also because of the extra immunity judgment brought about by too many level differences.

  Now Matthew's level has reached the sixteenth level.

  He believes that the next time he faces the black dragon.

  Own spells will play a decisive role.

   Unfortunately though.

  Due to the early end of the rest period.

  My childish skills in the field of temperance can be regarded as broken.

  …

  「Reminder: You have broken the self-restraint in the temperance field, your temperance factor -10;

  You get the element Greed*5;

  You have entered the "indulgence period" in the moderation realm.

  During the period of indulgence, you cannot gain temperance elements, and you can double gain elements related to greed. "

  …

  Matthew is still very interested in the special existence of the indulgence period.

  This thing is different from a cheat meal, it seems to have completely withdrawn from the field of temperance.

  The domain abilities "Heart Like Water" and "Cheat Meal" have also turned into flickering gray.

   At present, these two abilities can still be used.

   But there is already a hint of warning.

   "If I gain a lot of the **** factor during my indulgence, will I completely lose the temperance realm?"

   Matthew just thought so.

  A new message flashed in front of him.

  …

  「Reminder: Your Balance Field is taking effect.

  You have obtained the temporary state "relaxed" from the field of equilibrium.

  Relaxation: When you are in the indulgence period of the temperance field, you can double the elements of the greedy field, and you will not receive any punishment from the temperance field. "

  …

  Matthew frowned.

  Is this the way to balance?

  He usually feels that the balance field is posted back and forth between more than a dozen fields, none of which is in shape, and there is no effect.

   Didn't expect it to have such an effect this time.

   So it seems.

  Matthew will not have to worry about the side effects of having two opposing fields at the same time.

   Temperance and greed can be carried out together!

   "I can even use these two small fields as an experimental object. Before I balance life and death in the future, I can first balance temperance and greed. Maybe I can gain more experience."

   Matthew secretly thought.

  The above thoughts actually only happened in one minute.

   A blink of an eye.

  Matthew's attention returned to the outside world.

  The three of them looked at Matthew with the eyes of a monster.

   Zeller couldn't help but said:

   "You seem to have some power left?"

  Matthew waved his hand:

   "A little more, but not much."

  He was telling the truth.

  Currently XP is enough, but on the road to the fifth level, people like him who opened the legendary way in advance must accumulate enough practice points.

  At the moment Matthew has none at all.

  So entering the fifth level can be said to be a difficult and long road.

   Yet even so.

  Matthew's growth rate is also enough to make others feel crazy.

  Just over four months.

  He has been promoted from Tier 2 to Tier 4.

   This was done under the noses of everyone in Rolling Stone Town, how could they not be shocked?

  Richard looked deeply at Matthew:

   "I thought I had figured out your details, but I didn't expect you to hide so deeply."

  Rega scratched his head even more:

   "To be honest, if you were a devil or a warlock, I would be more accepting."

  Matthew smiled and didn't explain too much.

  It is the so-called thick accumulation and thin hair.

  The accumulation of experience has already been completed during his day and night planting trees.

  If it weren't for the goal of moving towards a more perfect legend, he might have already reached level 20 by now.

   It's just that the inflated level doesn't mean much.

   Now.

  He carefully took out the equality dagger from the luggage, and handed it to Richard.

  The latter took the dagger and his expression changed:

   "Famous weapon? Are you sure it is that one?"

  Matthew nodded slightly.

  Rega looked at the dagger curiously:

   "Why does this thing look familiar?"

  Matthew hurriedly changed the topic, he asked Richard:

   "With this weapon in hand, how sure are you that you can kill that black dragon?"

  Richard played with the equality dagger fondly, and he estimated:

   "If I attack in a safer way, I can kill him in at most ten minutes;

  If no matter what the cost is, he can be beaten below the dying line within three minutes;

  But you also saw just now that if the black dragon wants to escape, we have almost nothing to do with him in the absence of ballistas. "

  Matthew nodded:

   "You just need to be responsible for providing enough damage bursts when necessary, and leave the other things to me to find a way."

   After that, the four of them discussed the next situation.

  Richard said that the black dragon's approach was silent, which is not in line with common sense, and he didn't even notice it with such a powerful perception. This shows that Mayonogas must have a stronger force behind him.

  In order to guard against this, they must expand the scope of their vigilance and be ready to deal with dragon disasters at any time.

   They get busy.

   And Matthew quickly returned to the workshop in the cemetery.

  He took out a stack of blank paper and began to write the replay of this battle.

  …

  “The biggest difficulty in fighting against giant dragons is that they have a huge body far beyond ordinary creatures, matching muscle density and natural armor.     This makes it impossible for ordinary swords and guns to break through the defense of dragon scales.

  Ordinary ballistas are a threat to dragons, but they are also very difficult to kill.

   There is only one dragon crossbow that really frightens the dragon, and it is very difficult to move, requiring the cooperation of seven or eight soldiers.

  The huge size and the terrifying density of musculoskeletal scales allow the dragon to have an unusual fault tolerance rate in battle.

  Meonogas was twice the size of Philoreus, but more than twenty times the weight of the latter.

   This gives them irresistible destructive power when rushing.

  At present, it seems that only the black warrior Argus can face him head-on without the black dragon being activated.

  Other units can’t interfere with his free movement…”

  …

  Matthew stops and writes, sometimes flips through books, and sometimes stops to meditate.

  Natural armor is a powerful advantage of a dragon, but it can be targeted.

  In this battle, Matthew's dissociation technique played a good role.

   But the problem is that while having a strong physical advantage, the giant dragon also has good intelligence and mobility far beyond ordinary creatures.

  If this guy chooses to go head-to-head.

   I'm afraid he has died countless times.

  He has been avoiding the attack range of the dragon crossbow from the beginning to the end, and is active in areas with residents very insidiously.

  This left Matthew and others at a loss when they were playing at home.

   This is not even the result of the black dragon's deliberate thinking.

   Might just be a fighting instinct from the true dragon heritage.

   Have to admit.

  The dragon is indeed a creature favored by the heavens.

  Even if it’s just a fifth-tier dragon.

   Only legendary powerhouses can fight against it.

   "It would be great if there was a legendary warrior or legendary mage in Rolling Stone Town."

  Matthew sighed lightly.

   However, there is only Richard, the legendary thief, in Rolling Stone Town.

  The thieves are the most embarrassing when facing the dragon.

  Does effective damage?

able.

   But not much.

  Legendary Rogue is theoretically the most resistant to other legendary classes of the same size.

   But in the face of this giant.

  There really isn't much they can do.

   Fortunately, the equality dagger lent by Matthew can make up for this to a certain extent.

   But no matter what.

  Ordinary people will die if they are not careful in the process of fighting against the dragon.

   This means Matthew has to do more homework to avoid this.

   There was silence in the workshop.

  There is only the rustling sound of the quill pen on the paper.

  In addition to the staged summary of the battle.

  Matthew also recorded two abnormal points.

   The first point is what Richard mentioned. The black dragon's sneak attack was so sudden that even the silver snake, which is good at perception, didn't give an early warning. This is completely unreasonable.

   And want to achieve this effect.

   At least a legendary level of advanced invisibility is required, or the same type of spells above the fifth level can be superimposed on each other for several layers.

   Considering that black dragons don't know any magic.

   Then someone must have hidden his figure for him.

  The second point is that when the black dragon escaped, a layer of air burst out of his body.

   That air wave looks very similar to the dragon's breath.

   But qualitatively different.

   At least Matthew didn't see his chest and belly swell.

  That air wave is more like a spell-like ability.

   But black dragons are natural magical insulators.

  Like spells are also impossible.

   Then there are only two explanations left—

  First, there is some kind of treasure on the black dragon, which can release the kind of air wave similar to the resistance to the ring of fire.

   The probability of this is low, because Matthew didn't see him digging out treasures when he cast the air wave.

  Secondly, there is a blessing from a high-ranking powerhouse on the black dragon, and this blessing may exist in the form of divine magic.

   This possibility is much greater.

   Two unusual situations combined.

  Behind the black dragon Mayonogas, there must be at least one powerful existence proficient in divine arts!

  But in this era, the gods have been exiled to the Tianlun Palace, and it is difficult for the power of magic to reach the mortal world.

   Who is it that quietly extended its tentacles around Rolling Stone Town?

  Matthew frowned, thinking deeply.

   After a while.

  He let out a long breath:

   "There is no way at all."

   "For a mage, as long as he can get enough information, no matter how powerful the opponent is, he has a chance to kill him."

  Thinking so.

  He quickly pulled out a brand new piece of parchment and began to write.

  If you want to kill the black dragon Mayonogas, you must first strangle his mobility...

   One night passed.

  Matthew drew up a preliminary plan to deal with the black dragon.

   During the day.

  He sends all letters through the channels of the Crucible House.

Considering that some friends live without a fixed place, Matthew even added money to a magic service called paging letters. Under the blessing of this noble and noble magic, as long as they are in the main material world, within seven days at most, Everyone can receive these letters.

besides.

  Matthew also wrote two letters, which were delivered to Isabel and Suriel through the alliance channel.

  Although he didn't have much hope for these two divine mages in his heart.

   But there are still necessary attempts.

  The next few days.

  Rega led the crowd to rebuild houses and appease the victims in Rolling Stone Town.

   Fortunately, the total number of people affected this time is not many.

   Under Rhaegar's reputation over the years.

  Most people are willing to believe that Rolling Stones can fight off the dragon.

   But even so.

  The atmosphere in the small town has also become much more depressed.

  The afternoon after three days.

  An owl came to the office hall of the Lord's Mansion with a thick letter in its mouth.

  At this time, Matthew happened to be there.

  When he saw the owl from the Alliance, he thought it was his letter.

  Unexpectedly, the owl didn't even look at him.

   Instead, he flew to Rhaegar's side.

  Under Rhaegar's astonished eyes.

   The owl dropped the thick letter.

boom!

   There was a slight trembling sound on the desk.

   The owl flew away quickly.

  Matthew and Zeller leaned over curiously.

  At this moment Rhaegar just opened the envelope.

  The outermost parchment scroll suddenly flew out automatically.

  It has such a title written on it——

   "Secret Order of War (The Lord of Hundred Cities and the Major Lords personally issued

  The three looked at each other.

   are all shocked.

  The secret war order finally arrived.

   Rolling Stone Town has received a secret order.

   Does this mean that all of the southern territories received the same content?

  Matthew quickly checked the secret order.

   Confirm that the above is almost exactly what Margaret revealed.

   Except for the registration time of the mage.

  In the officially announced secret order.

  The alliance requires mages from all over the world to complete the registration within two months.

   And in these two months.

  All territories shall not fight privately.

   Even if there is a dispute.

   You must also submit a battle application to the alliance.

   That is, solving problems in an aboveboard manner.

   "The good news is that the black dragon is unlikely to attack us again within two months, otherwise he will be retaliated by the Seven Saints Alliance."

   "The bad news is that our dragon slaying plan seems to be delayed?"

  Matthew felt a little helpless.

  Unexpectedly, Rega shook his head, his eyes flashed with a firm fighting spirit:

   "Not necessarily."

  …

at the same time.

  The border of the high leaf collar and the golden fertile field.

  Inaccessible misty hills.

  In the thick fog all over the sky.

   Two behemoths are violently pushing each other.

"you cheated me!"

   "That group of humans is not easy to deal with!"

   "That necromancer gnawed off the scales of my entire tail!"

  The black dragon Mayonogas let out an angry roar.

  The red dragon Kusules pushed back with his head not to be outdone:

   "Are they hard to deal with, or are you too weak?"

   "You better be polite to me, if you don't want to be torn to pieces!"

  Heilong was about to be unable to suppress his anger.

  He violently pressed his head against the red dragon's chin:

   "Cusulus! You are a coward! You only hide behind the scenes and control everything! I want to see how powerful you are to tear me to pieces!"

   Cusules was furious.

  He opened his **** mouth and bit the black dragon's neck.

   But at this moment.

  A sinister voice came from the mist, instantly calming down the two giant dragons:

   "You are part of the Great Dragon God's revival plan, there is no need to quarrel with each other over this trivial matter.

  Crossulus the red dragon, Mayonogas the black dragon, Fatina the green dragon, Algalon the king of the white dragons, Wilcox the blue dragon—

  The five of you have already signed the contract of the Five Dragons, which has since become the "Five Dragons Alliance".

   Within the alliance, fighting is prohibited, and people must cooperate with each other to complete the orders of Lord Dragon God as soon as possible.

   Or do you think that Rolling Stone Town is a tough one, and I need to dispatch the other three Dragon God voters so that the five of you can work together to capture Rolling Stone Town? "

   It was a man wearing a weird mask.

  He even looked a little too thin.

   But when he came out of the mist.

   These two mighty dragons lowered their heads slightly.

   "We don't need help!"

   "We can take Rolling Stone by ourselves!"

  The two giant dragons expressed their opinions one after another.

  The red dragon Kusules expressed in an almost flattering manner:

   "The reason why we are still waiting here is because the war order from the Seven Saints Alliance has not yet been issued."

   "As long as the Seven Saints Alliance let go, I can flatten Rolling Stone Town by myself and fulfill the wish of Lord Dragon God!"

   "Please rest assured, Lord Thousand Changeer."

  …

   Take care of the quick-tempered brother, I will definitely not be able to finish this paragraph at once, I can only say as soon as possible, sorry.
