Chapter 240 Natural disaster is coming!
On top of the volcano spewing out blazing magma, the hundreds-meter-long, hideous and terrifying evil dragon lord Morvantos was rising and falling in the deep magma.
It slowly opened its huge dragon eyes and looked at the two black dragons lying on the lava shore.
"Lord Morvantos!"
The two black dragons looked nervous. They lay on the ground like two puppies, not even daring to raise their heads.
Obviously, as a nine-ring black dragon and an eight-ring black dragon, they are already rare and powerful creatures in this material world, but they still tremble in front of Morvantos.
This time they did not complete their mission, the mission of killing Raymond.
Even if the reason lies with the problems of the Church of Destiny, the Church of Destiny did not discover the rescue of the Nine Rings Tower, and the extraordinary power possessed by Deya who came here caused their mission to fail.
But the reason was just an excuse. The two black dragons were also afraid that the tyrannical Molvantos would punish them.
Unexpectedly, Morvantos seemed to have changed his temperament today. He was not angry at all, but comforted the two black dragons:
"It's not your fault this time. It was unexpected that Ignis would appear here. And that wizard, he has mastered the power of the Silent Chanter. Even I am not absolutely sure that I can defeat him."
At this point, greed and jealousy flashed in Molvantos' eyes.
How could such a young human wizard master the power of God, while this giant dragon that has lived for thousands of years could only get close to the divine realm after trying its best?
It was unwilling to give in, and wanted to kill that human being and seize the power that belonged to God!
The two black dragons looked surprised. They didn't expect that the human wizard who came with Ignis would have such power.
Although they realized that the opponent's strength was similar to that of Lord Morvantos, they did not expect that even Lord Morvantos would not dare to declare victory.
At the same time, the two black dragons were also a little strange. Lord Morvantos's temperament today was too gentle, and he even admitted his shortcomings.
This is really rare for the proud Lord Morvantos.
"All of this is the fault of the Destiny Church. I will find an opportunity to cause trouble for the Destiny Church and make them admit their mistakes."
The two black dragons thought that Lord Morvantos was going to seek revenge for them, and they were all moved to tears of gratitude.
The evil dragon lord Morvantos said slowly, “Come here, get closer. I made a deal with the gods and got some of their secrets from them.
I will tell you some of the secrets so that you can gain greater power, but you must remember that you must be loyal to me and be grateful for my gift to you."
The two black dragons were overjoyed; they were able to reach the strength of the ninth and eighth rings, which could be said to be the result of Morvantos's intensive training of them.
Dragons are lazy by nature; that comes from their instinct. It is very rare to find a dragon like Morvantos who can overcome his lazy character.
The two black dragons overcame their dragon instincts with the help of a certain power bestowed by Morvantos, and thus acquired their current strength through their own efforts.
The two black dragons didn't think too much. They endured the pain and stepped into the magma where the power of Morvantos flowed.
The black dragons did not know that the power that allowed them to overcome the lazy nature of dragons actually came from the God of Corruption.
In ancient times, when the God of Corruption was still active, he corrupted Molvantos, causing the already ambitious red dragon's mind to be completely distorted and he became a follower of the God of Corruption.
After the death of the God of Corruption, Morvantos' ambitions were fully awakened, and he even wanted to replace the position of the Dragon God.
It used the remaining power of the God of Corruption to corrupt a group of dragons and made them follow it, thus giving rise to this clan of evil dragons.
In the eyes of some other races, the emergence of the evil dragon clan is a kind of evolution, because they have overcome the laziness inherent in the dragon's nature and become positive and optimistic.
But only those who truly understand dragons know that the evil dragon clan is actually a dragon on the road to decline.
Because the price they pay for breaking their original nature is their limited fertility.
The more powerful a race is, the lower its fertility will be. Otherwise, the powerful race will engage in internal strife for survival resources and eventually perish.
The evil dragons gained even more powerful strength than ordinary dragons, but they also completely lost their fertility due to corrosion.
It's just that these evil dragons have long been influenced by the power of the God of Corruption, causing their brains to become abnormal. They have never cared about things like reproduction, let alone the reproduction of their race.
The black dragons thought that Morvantos was really going to grant them new power, and they endured the severe pain and approached Morvantos from the magma.
at this time--
"boom----"
The active crater suddenly vibrated, and the magma in the crater spewed out to a height of thousands of meters.
The sudden vibration scared the two black dragons so much that they immediately stood still and dared not move.
Just when the two black dragons were puzzled, they suddenly discovered that the lava lake in the crater was receding rapidly, just like a wave.
In this active crater, all the flowing magma gradually disappeared, revealing the obsidian surface. The black dragons then saw that in the center of the magma lake, there were two huge, strange insect eggs that were more than ten meters high!
"Lord Morvantos, this is..."
After all, the two black dragons were powerful beings that had surpassed the seventh ring, and they felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
Suddenly, the two insect eggs began to move, as if a heart was beating inside the eggs. The thumping sound made the two black dragons feel dizzy.
The black dragons were horrified. As powerful warriors of the eighth and ninth rings, they actually felt their souls tremble. These two insect eggs were definitely not simple things!
Mucus flowed from the surface of the eggs, and two thick tentacles suddenly stretched out from the mucus and grabbed the two black dragons.
The black dragon was startled and subconsciously wanted to fly, but the two tentacles had already grabbed its hind legs!
Touched by the sticky tentacles, the black dragons finally felt the danger to their lives.
At this moment, all thoughts of loyalty disappeared, and driven by the survival instinct, they screamed fiercely: "Morvantos, are you going to kill us?!"
As soon as the words fell, the two black dragons began to struggle violently.
Their body length is close to 100 meters. The tentacles extending from the eggs are indescribably huge for humans, but they are still too slender for these two black dragons.
The black dragons only needed to exert some force to tear the tentacles apart, causing green blood to flow out, and the two insect eggs actually let out angry and painful roars.
The black dragons did not dare to be enemies with Morvantos. Even though they were furious, their reason told them that they were no match for Morvantos.
Seeing the black dragons turning around and trying to fly away, Morvantos's huge body suddenly moved.
It stretched out a giant dragon claw several tens of meters long, and with just a light grab, it pinned a black dragon to the ground in the crater. The pinned black dragon howled in pain, its scales torn, and hot blood gushed out like a fountain.
The other black dragon was so frightened when he saw this that he turned pale and tried to run away wailing.
Morvantos's other dragon claw slapped down again, directly pinning the two nearly 100-meter-long black dragons under his feet. No matter how they struggled, they could not move.
The black dragon spewed out acidic dragon breath from its mouth, but it couldn't even corrode Molvantos' scales. It could only leave streaks of white smoke on them and make the bright red scales turn white.
Molvantos laughed grimly and said, "Your current powers were all granted by me. Now I am going to take them all back. You must obediently offer your souls and bodies to me!"
The black dragons sensed that danger was approaching and struggled even harder.
The two insect eggs stretched out two tentacles again. This time, the tentacles did not tie up the black dragon's hind legs, but drilled directly into their mouths.
The tentacles drilled directly into the black dragon's abdomen from the mouth. The two insect eggs seemed to have self-awareness. The tentacles pulled hard, and the two insect eggs rolled into the black dragon's abdomen by themselves!
Quickly, the two black dragons seemed to be pregnant. Their bellies began to grow rapidly and the black scales on their bodies gradually dimmed.
The two insect eggs were sucking the flesh and blood of the two black dragons at an unimaginable speed. At the same time, the divine power from the Mother of All Living Things was devouring their souls.
"puff----"
With two loud bangs, the heads of the two black dragons exploded directly. From the broken heads, where only the necks were left, countless tentacles emerged, with their fangs and claws bared.
These tentacles entangled together and took on the appearance of an insect head. At the same time, the black dragon's back exploded, leaving dozens of huge blood holes.
In those holes, hideous insect legs grew out, and in just a blink of an eye, the black dragon turned into a horrible monster that was a combination of an insect and a dragon.
The limbs and head of an insect, the body and skeleton of a black dragon, these two ugly strange insects appeared in front of Morvantos.
The two strange insects made strange insect chirping sounds, and just like the two black dragons before, they lay respectfully in front of Morvantos.
The evil dragon lord Morvantos whispered, “Mother of all living things, I have sacrificed the souls of these two fools to you, one of them has the power of eight rings, and the other has the power of nine rings.
I think such a soul is enough for you to complete the final descent ceremony. I don’t care about other things. I just want the fall of the ancient spirit. On this point, our goals are the same!
I can give you this material world, but you need to help me destroy the ancient spirits so that I can become the true dragon god!"
Molvantos tilted his head and listened carefully. He smiled and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."
After saying that, its gaze turned to the two strange insects lying in front of it.
This strange insect, created by the divine power of the Mother of All Living Things, has the ability to parasitize other creatures and seize their power. Even the Eighth and Ninth Rings cannot escape if they are parasitized.
However, insects of this level are extremely difficult to create. Not only does it require the divine power of the mother of all living things, it also requires a large amount of resources to nourish.
It took Molventos nearly a hundred years of energy from this active volcano to breed these two insects.
After combining with the two black dragons, their strength became even stronger.
He now had two equally loyal subordinates, and the souls of the two black dragons could be given to the Mother of All Living Things. In Morvantos's opinion, this was simply perfect.
Anyway, it only needs loyal subordinates, and it doesn’t matter whether these subordinates are dragons or insects.
"All the dragons, you will finally submit to me!"
At the top of the volcano, Molvantos roared like a dragon. The earth was shaking, flames were erupting, and the whole world seemed to be in doomsday!
……
The orcs' last line of defense, a fortress built on the mountain. As long as they break through here, the orcs' capital is behind it.
The imperial army has completely surrounded this place. Looking from the sky, the endless tents reach the edge of the horizon.
On the other side of the coast, the Empire's Northern Fleet was taking up formation, ready to provide naval artillery support at any time.
Above the sky, the empire’s latest airship is soaring in the sky, transporting supplies from afar.
This scene is like the entire armed forces of a modern country attacking a medieval fortress.
In the front-line military camp, Deya met the leader of the mage corps. Deya was also very familiar with this person. She was Ms. Ruiyi, the tower master of the school of spellcasting.
"Deya, you are finally here."
When Lady Ruiyi saw Deya, the great wizard who looked like a kind old lady, she complained, "...I am so old, and I still have to lead this group of wizards to fight against others. Now that you are here, I can leave it to you."
"I think you're doing a great job here ma'am."
Deya said with a smile.
The thing called "evil" still exists, and there will always be four of the eight tower masters to prevent the invasion of evil.
Therefore, no matter what period it is, there are always only four masters of the Nine-Ring Tower who can be active.
“No, no, I’m only good at research, not fighting. I command those mages by relying on the power of the golem.
Besides, at my age, I should go back and enjoy a comfortable life instead of suffering on the front line."
It can be seen that Ms. Ruiyi does not like coming here at all, but she has no choice. Since the Nine Rings Tower has decided to support the Empire, someone is needed to command these wizards.
Only the people in the Nine Rings Tower can make this group of equally proud mages obey their orders.
Deya said: "I don't know how to command a battle. You rely on golems, and I will also need to rely on undead creatures."
At this time, Ms. Rui Yi saw Raymond who came with Deya. She laughed and said, "I didn't expect that I would see you again, an old man."
Raymond was obviously also familiar with Ms. Ruiyi. He said in a gentle tone: "I just came here to accompany the teacher. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to see you."
"teacher?"
Ms. Rui Yi stared at Raymond and Deya with wide eyes, and was confused for a moment. Who was whose teacher?
Deya didn't let her think too much and interrupted her, "Ma'am, the orcs' retreating behavior is really a bit unreasonable. I wonder what big move they are going to make."
Ms. Ruiyi withdrew her doubtful thoughts and whispered, "Adolf can't see anything clearly. He still said the same thing: a natural disaster is about to come!"
