Volume 7: Battle for Azeroth Chapter 329 Three Branches
Kill again? Murphy was surprised when he heard this.
"How do you kill a soul? With magic?"
In the world of the sky, there are monsters like ghosts and spirits.
Generally speaking, physical attacks are ineffective against this type of monster, but magic attacks can cause a certain percentage of damage. However, there are some special souls that cannot be attacked by ordinary magic, and positive energy spells such as holy light must be used to cause damage or even purification.
Therefore, some priest players will go to the cemetery to upgrade and use holy light to kill ghosts, which is faster than ordinary people.
But Murphy doesn't know holy light spells.
Moreover, the mysterious voice was talking about the soul, not the ghost. Often times, a difference of one word can make a world of difference. This kind of thing must be made clear.
Mysterious voice: "No, there is no need to use magic. Only the soul itself can kill the soul. When the soul of Eranikus appeared in front of you, you had actually swallowed it into your soul. Your soul is complete and powerful, while its soul is incomplete and weak. As long as you have the murderous intention in your heart, you can naturally kill it.
But you must remember that the soul of the ancient dragon is cunning and alert, and will never willingly sit back and wait for death. It will definitely tempt you and try every means to make you let it go. Do not show mercy or be soft-hearted. Tear up the soul, and after the soul dissipates, absorb the remaining original power.
Only in this way can one achieve the Way of the Ancient Dragons. The original power of the Ancient Dragons is hidden deep in the souls of the most ancient dragons."
Murphy nodded, "I understand."
But after thinking about it, it was his first time after all, so just in case, he put on Sargeras' Ring of Domination on his hand, then picked up the dragon's heart and bit it.
Hey--hoo--ha! Ho--hoo--ha!
Ah—ah—ah—ah—ah—ah!
The majestic singing voice sounded again, but after just a few sentences it suddenly became vague, as if it was extremely far away, gradually disappearing into the background sound, replaced by a dull and low dragon roar.
The dragon's roar grew louder and louder, like a cry from the depths of its soul, full of anger and despair. Suddenly, a piercing roar drove away all the singing.
Murphy's eyes were dazed for a moment, and the surroundings suddenly turned black. In the darkness, a pair of eyes emitting evil green fire stared straight at him.
Murphy was startled and was about to step back when he immediately realized that he should have entered the soul space. Sure enough, when he lowered his head, he found that he was now in the form of the Storm Dragon King.
The emerald green eyes gradually became clearer, revealing the huge body behind it, presenting a translucent and incomplete texture.
Soul of Eranikus: "We meet again - Duvakin."
Murphy was stunned. Duwakin means fellow tribesmen in dragon language. Is he trying to get close to him?
Eranikus's soul: "I see. I have heard of this place, the Dragon Feast. It is said to be an ancient relic left by the ancient dragons. Those humans who signed a contract with the ancient dragons slaughtered the dragons in an attempt to restore the power of the ancient dragons... Hehe, how sad! Have you also lost yourself in the power? Is this why you killed me? You don't know what you are doing at all. You have been deceived. All the Dragon Feasters have been deceived. You are chasing an impossible dream."
"Kill him!" The mysterious voice echoed in my ears, "Tear out his soul."
Murphy did not act immediately, as Eranikus' words aroused his interest.
Aidan Deron (Storm Dragon King): "What do you mean by deception? Why can't the power of the ancient dragons be realized?"
The soul of Eranikus: "Did the ancient dragon that signed the contract with you tell you how the ancient dragon clan perished?"
The ancient dragon who signed the contract? Could it be referring to that mysterious voice?
Aidan Delong (Storm Dragon King): "You told me. The ancient dragons were defeated by the Old Gods and the Titans. The Old Gods imposed a terrible curse of flesh and blood on the ancient dragons. The ancient dragons lost their immortal dragon scales and degenerated into proto-dragons, so they were defeated."
The soul of Eranikus: "Yes, that's right, the curse of flesh and blood cannot be reversed. Even the ancient dragons cannot resist this terrible power. The ancient dragon clan perished because of this. Over tens of thousands of years, countless dragons have tried to free themselves, but they all failed in the end.
But why fight? The Curse of Flesh and Blood made us lose our immortality, but it also gave the dragon race a strong ability to adapt and grow. You must know that ancient dragons cannot grow up. They are not affected by the power of time, and therefore cannot increase their strength through growth.
But the newly born dragon race is completely different. We can use any power to our advantage. The longer we live, the stronger we become. Sooner or later, we can grow into an existence that scares the world. But you want to abandon this unique power? Isn't that stupid and ridiculous? "
Murphy was a little stunned when he heard this, but he did not believe what Eranikus said. As the saying goes, Wang Po brags about her own melons. Everyone has a different standpoint, so they will definitely brag about things that are beneficial to them and conceal those irrelevant factors.
Aidan Deron (Storm Dragon King): "So this is what you want to say? To let me not absorb your source power? To let me let you go? But I have already devoured your heart, and your soul has nowhere to go."
Eranikus's soul: "No, I don't ask you to let me go, but it is meaningless to absorb the original power. No matter how much you absorb, it will eventually be transformed by the curse of flesh and blood. Instead of doing that, it is better to absorb my soul. My soul preserves tens of thousands of years of ancient wisdom, as well as experience in the use of natural power and evil power. Absorbing this power is enough to double your strength. I am willing to submit to you and become your arm, as long as I can retain my consciousness. This is my oath to you."
Mo Fei thought to himself, "So that's the case. You still want to survive."
He became a little curious.
Aidan Delong (Storm Dragon King): "Are you trying to fool me? If I absorb your soul, won't I have to face the tearing of my soul and the struggle of my heart endlessly?"
The soul of Eranikus: "No, there is no need for that. Dragons have the most powerful adaptability and can evolve in response to any physical stimulation. Having one more surrendered soul will not affect your sanity, but will enhance your strength. As an ancient dragon, I have witnessed that kind of power with my own eyes!
That power is so terrifying that it was jointly banned by the five major dragon clans, but you are not a member of the five major dragon clans and will not be restricted by the ancient oath.
That is the path to the power of the Myriad Dragons! That is the ultimate evolutionary direction of the dragon race."
[System prompt: Trigger the plot quest [The Road of the Myriad Colors Dragon], which is the third step/second branch of [Original Plot: The Return of the Dragon God].]
【The Road of the Colorful Dragon (Origin Story Mission)
Mission objective: Continue to perform the Dragon Feast, absorb the souls of other ancient dragons, and absorb them into yourself. Every time you absorb the soul of an ancient dragon, your health and mana will be greatly improved, your body size will increase by 10%, and you will grow a new dragon head. The new dragon head has independent breathing and casting abilities, and shares health and mana with you. The destruction of the new dragon head will not cause fatal damage to you.
You can gain dragon abilities that correspond to the dragon's head.
After absorbing enough souls of ancient dragons, your life form will evolve and become a forbidden creature in the history of dragons - the Dragon of All Colors.
Mission Reward: 2000 plot points, which will upgrade your Dragon Incarnation skill to the Myriad Dragon Incarnation, and open the next mission. 】
Warning: This mission has a huge conflict with the Ancient Dragon Road mission. Once your Ancient Dragon Road mission is accepted, it will be automatically considered a failure. 】
Damn, I actually triggered another origin story mission!
Murphy was really surprised this time. After careful study, he found that these should be two different branches of the same task.
The colorful dragon and the ancient dragon both seem to have the qualifications to become dragon gods.
But looking at the description, why does it feel so evil?
Murphy imagined a dragon with ten heads, but his imagination was simply at a loss.
Just as he was thinking, another voice suddenly came out.
"Stupid! How can such a mixed power be called powerful?" It was the residual soul of Sargeras. This guy suddenly appeared, leaving Murphy speechless. How come two of them appeared at once?
Sargeras whispers: "So that's how you gain power, by devouring other dragons, haha, interesting.
But don't be fooled by this guy in front of you. It's not that easy to absorb souls. Look at what happened to Medivh. Do you still think this method is feasible?
Instead of wasting energy trying to master powers of different attributes, it is better to combine these powers into one and integrate them into one.
Look at the soul in front of him. The natural force in his body has long disappeared. Only the evil power remains, because the evil power is the most powerful force.
Evil energy is just a name given to it by humans, but its real meaning is chaos. It is the original energy that has existed since the birth of the universe. Even gods will be hurt by this terrible power, so they hate it and fear it.
Absorb this evil power, integrate it into your blood and your soul. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I will use my understanding of the power of chaos to help you. Keep swallowing and absorbing, and transform them all into the power of chaos. You will become an unprecedentedly powerful existence - the Chaos Dragon! Only by being this powerful can you be qualified to challenge the gods."
[System prompt: Trigger the plot quest [The Road to Chaos Dragon], which is the third step/third branch of [Original Plot: Return of the Dragon God].]
【The Road to Chaos Dragon (Origin Story Mission)
Mission Objective: Absorb the fel power of the Fel Flame Dragon King and continue to perform Dragon Feast to enhance your Chaos Power by absorbing and transforming the power of other ancient dragons.
Your breath will be transformed into Dragon Thunder/Chaos Breath, causing an additional 10% chaos damage. Chaos damage cannot be exempted in any way.
With each Great Elder Dragon's energy converted, your Breath of Chaos is enhanced, gaining an additional 10% Chaos Damage, eventually converting it to 100% Chaos Damage.
Every 10% increase in your Chaos Power will unlock a random Chaos Dragon ability.
Your Chaos Dragon abilities will also be enhanced as your Chaos power increases.
After absorbing and transforming enough power of the ancient dragons, you will be completely corrupted by the power of chaos and become the embodiment of evil and chaos - the Chaos Dragon.
Mission Reward: 2000 Plot Points, which will upgrade your Dragon Incarnation skill to Chaos Dragon Incarnation and unlock the next round of missions.
Warning: This mission is in strong conflict with the Ancient Dragon Road mission. Accepting it will automatically lead to the failure of the Ancient Dragon Road mission. 】
this……
Murphy was completely numb.
A mysterious voice said, "Don't listen to them. The power of the All-Colored Dragon is worthless. Those vile and inferior lives, no matter how much they accumulate, are nothing but a pile of useless flesh and blood. Once you achieve the immortal body of an ancient dragon, time and space, the past and the future, everything will be in your control! You will become an existence beyond this world!"
The soul of Eranikus: "Listen to me, young Duvakin. The evolution of flesh and blood, the growth of life, the accumulation of wisdom, and the transformation of power are the right path for the dragon race."
Sargeras whispers: "Don't listen to them, Chaos - Chaos alone is the focus of the universe."
Murphy was speechless. How come they all came out at once?
Listening to the constant instigation of the three voices, Murphy smiled.
The power of life, pure power, or primitive power.
It all sounds like it makes sense.
But Murphy has his own understanding of power. The ultimate form of the Wanselong has ten heads, which can spray dragon breath together to perform powerful moves. It seems to be omnipotent, but being a master of all things is not as good as being good at one. It may be useful against miscellaneous soldiers, but if it encounters a truly powerful enemy, it will probably be useless.
The Chaos Dragon combines all elemental powers, which sounds good and powerful, but it is likely to affect the mind as it 'becomes the embodiment of evil and chaos'.
You have to know that Sargeras was a member of the Titans in the past, with a very great and glorious image. However, he absorbed too much fel energy and finally turned into the Demon King. Murphy absolutely does not believe that there is no influence of chaos magic here.
At present, it seems that the way of ancient dragons is the safest.
Although it doesn't sound like it has all the bells and whistles, the purer it is, the safer it is.
Thinking of this, he still made a decision.
Breath of Thunder!
Without warning, the Storm Dragon King suddenly blew out a breath that hit Eranikus' soul. Eranikus roared and a huge green dragon phantom rushed towards him.
Unfortunately, the soul is just a soul after all. Without the support of the body, no matter how big the body is, it is just an illusion and will soon dissipate under the constant bombardment of thunder breath.
Sargeras whispers: "Haha, well done, now absorb the masterless power, absorb the power of the fel."
However, Murphy did not touch the evil energy lurking around the soul, allowing that power to dissipate into the air.
In the end, only a ball of ancient and weathered gray light remained, which looked insignificant. Murphy stretched out a dragon claw and grasped the power in his claw.
(Is this the original power of the ancient dragon clan? It looks ordinary.)
He clenched his dragon claws fiercely, and the moment they touched, the original power instantly penetrated into his body.
The purple dragon scales on Aidandelon's body suddenly began to flicker, as if they had experienced eternity. The scales quickly weathered and were coated with a layer of ancient rock-like hue. The originally glittering dragon scales became plain and the hue continued to darken. The scales even grew irregular rock-like patterns, no longer living up to their previous gorgeous shape.
[System prompt: You have obtained the power of origin, and the progress of your Ancient Dragon Road mission has been improved. The current progress is 10%. You have unlocked an ancient dragon trait - Ancient Dragon Scale.]
Mo Fei opened the BOSS interface and found that there was indeed an additional passive skill.
[Ancient Dragon Scale (Legendary Trait)
Passive: Your base armor increases by 100 points, you gain 33% immunity against all spell damage, and are immune to the negative effects of all time spells.
Characteristics: The scales unique to the ancient dragon clan have a peculiar texture like rocks. Dragon scales are part of the ancient dragon's body and a symbol of its immortal life. It is said that the ancient dragon is an eternal life that was born before time began to flow, and therefore will not be corroded by the power of time. 】
That's it? Murphy read the acquired traits over and over again. At first glance, they really seemed ordinary.
Compared to the past when you could gain a powerful skill every time you ate a dragon heart, this is totally not enough.
Not to mention growing an extra dragon head, gaining mastery in a spell, or getting extra chaos damage and mastering chaos powers.
But if you think about it carefully, this legendary trait is still very strong.
100 points of armor is nothing, but the 33% spell damage reduction directly increases his toughness by one third when facing magic professions. In the future, magic professions will cry to death when facing him.
The last one was immune to the negative effects of time spells, which also surprised him a little.
This passive skill is highly targeted. Time magic is not common. It is nothing more than slowness, aging, time stillness and the like. There are not many opportunities to use it. However, if you want to deal with bronze dragons again in the future, it will come in handy and you won't have to worry about their evil tricks.
Murphy checked the skill list again. Fortunately , Noreldom's time turbulence was still usable. It seemed that this immunity was only against those released by others on him.
After thoroughly studying the effects of this trait, Murphy became satisfied with his choice. Generally speaking, in a magical world like this, the older it is, the more powerful it is.
Judging from the skill description, the ancient dragon is actually an ancient life form that was born before the flow of time. That's really cool.
No wonder he can compete with the ancient gods and Titans.
One ancient dragon's trait is so powerful, and stacking ten ancient dragon traits together makes me look forward to it.
As for the Multi-Colored Dragon and the Chaos Dragon - you can't have your cake and eat it too, so don't think too much.
