"Two prisons, two keys...

According to normal thinking logic, it is absolutely impossible to put the matching keys in the corresponding prisons.

Instead, they should be kept separately.

This way, even if someone successfully reaches the portal of one prison and finds the key, they must find the portal of another prison to enter.

Simply put, it is a change from single insurance to double insurance.

But the question is where is the key kept near the entrance of this prison?"

Muttering to himself, Zuo Si walked straight to the huge portal in the center of the ruins and began to analyze it with his vast knowledge reserves in order to find some hints that could serve as clues.

From the relief on the pillar and the reaction of the anthropomorphic golem, it can be basically confirmed that this is one of the two crystal prisons of the Imaskar Empire.

So one of the two keys must be hidden somewhere within the ruins.

But the problem is that all prophetic magic, even the omnipotent wishing spell, is ineffective inside the ruins, and magical vision is also severely disturbed.

In desperation, Zuo Si could only start from the most conspicuous portal.

Unlike the arched stone gate monument at the entrance, the portal in front of us is made of an unknown alloy. It looks a bit like black marble or obsidian, and feels very cold and smooth.

The silver spider-web-like textures on the surface were not formed naturally, but were artificially added through magical technology.

It was so difficult to make that it was the most complex and sophisticated of all the magical creations he had seen so far, and it simply elevated technology to the level of art.

Both its functionality and beauty are jaw-dropping.

No wonder the "door" has formed a unique culture and belief in the Imaskar Empire.

Artificers have indeed reached the pinnacle of their craft in the field of portal construction.

Although the Netheril civilization also used permanent portals on a large scale to connect some important areas, it was still far inferior to Imaskar's connection to other planes and crystal walls.

Especially the portal in front of you, which also has the function of recording and changing the teleportation destination.

In other words, it can connect to several spatial coordinates at the same time, rather than a single crystal prison.

This shows that the Imaskar Empire has achieved multi-channel, multi-point connection of the portal, rather than the traditional single-point transmission.

If they wish, the machinist can connect all the portals together to form a large and complex trans-time and space transmission network, allowing them to travel freely to any place where the transmission coordinates are established, and to freely allocate resources within the scope of their rule at a very low cost.

The developed transportation system is far beyond the reach of the modern society's three-in-one transportation network of sea, land and air.

But this is exactly what is so fatal about this portal.

It connects too many spatial coordinates, so without the key you have no idea what kind of place you will be sucked into the moment you open it.

Perhaps it is a demiplane with no time flow similar to the Imprisonment Spell, and any creature that enters will immediately fall into a state of stagnation until someone from the outside world rescues it;

It could also be the most dangerous areas in the outer planes, such as the Astral Plane, the Chaos Sea, the Abyss, and the Scorching Hell.

Once you are teleported there, you will find yourself in the lair of the Githyanki, the Astral Fleetbeast, or the territory of the Slaad Lord, or you will be surrounded by a large group of demons and Yug'groths, and then beaten to death.

Even more unlucky is that you might fall directly in front of the Lady of Pain in Sigil and be chopped into pieces on the spot.

Because random inter-dimensional teleportation is so dangerous, even many gods dare not try it easily.

Just when Zuo Si was about to try out his ability as a planeswalker to teleport across time and space at will, an intermittent voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Golem...arm...key..."

Even though the voice was very vague and was spoken in the lost language of the ancient Imaskar Empire, he still understood what the other party wanted to express by virtue of his identity as a great devil.

He immediately took out the adamantium golem arm that he had found in the brown dragon's lair from his dimensional bag.

The next second...

Buzz!!!!!!!!!!

The huge portal immediately began to charge, and ripples like a curtain of light appeared.

At the same time, the golem's adamantium arm began to float uncontrollably and eventually inserted into a groove at the top of the portal. Then the spider-web-like silver textures on the portal frame began to glow and finally started up.

Before Zuo Si could react, the terrifying aura released from the other side of the portal swept across the entire hall.

Both the stone pillars and the walls were easily crushed and destroyed by this invisible force, turning into flying dust particles.

Moreover, the entire space seemed to be in a state of weightlessness, with countless dust particles floating and stagnant in the air without moving.

Zuo Si himself seemed to be hit hard on the chest by an invisible hammer, and conspicuous blood flowed slowly from his mouth and nose.

Was he injured? He subconsciously wiped the blood from his nose and mouth, with an expression of great surprise on his face.

However, this minor injury is nothing considering Zuo Si's current huge vitality. He will recover in a few seconds at most with his powerful regenerative ability.

But the problem is that the last time he was injured was a few years ago when he was relatively weak. Since becoming the big devil, he has basically maintained an injury-free record.

Putting aside other things, just the terrifying magic resistance, immunity, damage absorption and immunity, as well as the large number of legendary protective magic and equipment that are bestowed on the body on a daily basis, are enough to give the most powerful legendary warriors and spellcasters in many countries a headache.

Just to complete the "breaking defense" task, you need to stand still for at least several rounds.

But now, the energy released from the other side of the portal simply ignored all of this and directly caused real damage to it.

This means that the owner of the power at least has the power to ignore divine power, quasi-divine power, various magic and other protective resistance exemptions.

What was even more unexpected to Zuo was that the key to open the portal was really inside this relic.

What is going on?

What was that mysterious voice just now? How did he know that the golem's arm was the key to the portal? A series of question marks suddenly popped up in his mind.

However, Zuo Si, who was deep in the underground ruins, was not aware that at this moment, creepy and strange runes had already appeared in the night sky above the surface.

Although it is still very vague for the time being, it is beginning to have an impact on the surrounding areas.

Many mages living in the coastal areas of Muhong and Liangxing Lake, which are adjacent to the Luoyan Desert, found that they occasionally failed inexplicably when casting spells and divination magic.

However, due to the relatively small impact area, the number of arcane spellcasters in the area was not large, and the failure of the spell did not cause serious consequences, it did not attract attention.

As for the adventurers and mercenaries who went deep into the ruins during the day, the black spots on their bodies became more and more serious. Some people even had their souls twisted under the influence of nightmares, slowly transforming into the state of incorporeal undead, just like the incorporeal undead they encountered in the ruins during the day.

Needless to say, all of this is a chain reaction caused by the release of a little bit of power from "God Butcher" Pandrem.

If left unchecked and allowed to spread, this terrifying ancient evil will break the seal little by little and eventually descend.

When it develops to the second stage, the evil runes in the sky will affect the entire continent of Faerun and even the planet Toril, causing the summoned creatures to not return to their own plane even when the time is up, but to wander around without the control of the caster.

More seriously, it will isolate the positive and negative energy planes, causing divine spellcasting professions such as priests to be unable to contact their gods.

When reaching the third stage, the entire plane will be shrouded and isolated by Pandrem's destructive power, and all spells related to conjuration and teleportation will have a one in five chance of accidents and cause serious harm to the caster.

At the same time, the connection with the outer plane will become weaker and weaker until it is completely cut off.

In the fourth and final stage, the God Slayer will fully descend.

At that time, summoning, teleportation, and calling spells will all become ineffective, and all links with the outer layer and other material planes will be completely cut off on the physical level. Divine spellcasters will no longer be able to obtain divine spells through prayer, and the gods will no longer be able to descend through incarnations.

The entire world will completely collapse under Pandrem's unparalleled destructive power.

If there is a god or an incarnation of a god who happens to be isolated in this world, then the end that awaits him is to have his divine power drained away alive.

Of course, judging from the current situation, the God Butcher's arrival is still at the beginning of the first stage, and he has only leaked a little bit of his own power through the portal of the Crystal Prison.

To be on the safe side, Zuo Si brought another ancient evil creature, the Chaos Hound Kozef, as a guard, and then passed through the portal to the other side.

moment!

The first thing that catches your eye is a complex of buildings carved entirely from large pieces of solid crystal.

Through the colorless and transparent walls, one can clearly see that in this huge prison, there are countless enclosed rooms of various sizes, which overall present a progressive circular structure.

If you want to reach the giant crystal prison in the center of the ring, you must go through it room by room according to the designed route.

All magic including flying, feather falling, teleportation and so on are completely ineffective here.

Even the magic net no longer exists, and spells and divine arts can no longer be cast normally.

Only innate spell-like abilities, magic items, and potions function normally.

Obviously, this place was built to restrict other spellcasters and allow the artificer to maximize his or her advantages.

Moreover, each room is equivalent to an independent demiplane. It is impossible to tell what is inside from the outside, whether its physical and magical rules conform to the common sense of most people, and whether there are any terrible monsters or traps hidden.

After figuring out the situation, Zuo Si couldn't help but sigh slightly, and said to Kezifu, who was lying at his feet waiting for his orders, "Well, it looks like we have some work to do. But it's a good thing that we can get in successfully. Let's start exploring from the first room on the left."

"Woof!"

The Chaos Hound, which looked like a small Border Collie, barked obediently.

Just as the man and the dog were about to step over the threshold and enter the next room, a black and gray stain suddenly appeared in front of them.

Soon after, the stain expanded and formed the shape of a person.

But it was just a shape, he had neither face nor body, as if he was some kind of projection from darkness and void.

The only thing that could be seen was the part that could barely be considered a face. In the darkness, there were two flashes of purple light.

To be honest, anyone who saw this thing would probably mistake it for a shadow or a higher level demon shadow.

Because the energy emanating from the other party is very similar to the negative energy of undead creatures.

However, Zuo Si had great attainments in necromancy and had even personally trained a Shadow King, so it was certain that this was not a shadow creature. Instead, it was very similar to some unnamed creatures that the Planeswalkers encountered when they briefly passed through the dark void while traveling between worlds.

They are all so twisted, chaotic, and disordered that it is not even certain whether they have independent consciousness and thoughts.

They will only subconsciously attack everything around them until the opponent dies or they themselves are destroyed.

But the one in front of us is obviously a special case.

After condensing into a human form, he not only did not launch an attack, but instead politely placed one hand on his chest and bowed.

"Hello, unknown intruder.

My name is Bertrand Lederer.

I am glad that after so many years, someone has finally managed to enter this crystal prison again.

Because I'm not sure if I'll still be as sane as I am now if no one comes for another few hundred years.

Instead of becoming a complete madman like the souls of those artificers who died during the Imaskar Empire."

"Are you the owner of the voice that gave me the hint through the portal just now?"

Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Because this was the first time he saw someone able to maintain normal thinking logic in this state and still be able to have a conversation.

The unknown creature who called himself Bertrand Lederer nodded slightly: "Yes, it's me.

Although the portal isolates the space.

But I have come into contact with the great being imprisoned here, and my body has long been completely annihilated. Only my soul has been separated and merged with that incredible body, and has gained some abilities that cannot be described in words.

I myself am equivalent to a channel that can establish a weak connection with any certain spatial coordinates.

When your hand touches the portal, I can naturally pass the information through."

"I see! So you found the golem arm key from another relic prison and brought it here, right?"

Zuo Si instantly understood the general ins and outs of the whole matter.

The adamantium golem arm of the Brown Dragon's Lair Force did not belong to the one-armed golem he saw near the portal, but to an anthropomorphic golem guard in another ruin.

This madman wanted to enter the crystal prison to find out what was going on many years ago, so he cut off the two golem arms that served as keys during the battle and paired them up.

It’s just that the opponent didn’t realize how powerful and terrifying the God Killer’s power was, and was eventually swallowed up and assimilated into the inhuman appearance it is today.

Bertrand Lederer answered without hesitation: "You guessed it.

A long time ago, I worked with another scholar named Lukather Magi to uncover the dusty history and find out how our ancestors, the artificers of the High Imaskar Empire, perished.

While investigating materials and exploring records that were deliberately erased by the gods, the name Pandrem was found.

With limited information and tireless excavation and exploration, we finally discovered the two crystal prisons that sealed it.

Lukather Magee and I each held the key that we had obtained after a hard fight, and arrived at the prison that sealed our consciousness and body respectively.

According to our plan, as long as we release the body and consciousness at the same time, this incomparably powerful being will come and slaughter all those damned gods, making them pay the price for what they did in the past.

Unfortunately, I don't know what happened to Lukather Magee later, but something unexpected happened when I tried to touch and control the body of the God Butcher.

Just a moment!

The sphere, like a destructive black hole, tore my body apart and threw my soul into an unknown space filled with danger, darkness, and chaos.

I was destroyed again and again in it, and reborn again and again.

Finally, after being torn and twisted countless times, it became what it is now.

I'm tired of being thrown into the pain of repeated torture and rebirth every once in a while, so I want to reach a cooperation agreement with you.

That is, I will help you avoid danger and reach the innermost crystal prison, and you will help me break free and let my soul regain freedom. "

"You want me to help you get relief?"

Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at the strange creature in front of him, who he had no idea what category it should be classified into. It was obvious that he didn't believe a word the other party had just said.

What a joke! He was not a country bumpkin who had never been to the Dark Void and knew nothing about the situation inside.

If Bertrand Lederer was really thrown into the dark void, every sentence and even every word that came out of this guy's mouth might be a lie.

This is because the creatures in the dark void have no so-called rationality or logic, and even their instincts, memories, and emotions can change 180 degrees at any time and anywhere.

They may be trying desperately to achieve a certain goal in the last second, but they will completely forget it in the next second and do the exact opposite thing.

Compared with the creatures of the Dark Void, the demons of the Abyss can be considered lawful.

Moreover, the chaotic and complex original matter and energy in the dark void will distort all creatures without the protection of the spark into beings that are more insane and dangerous than the lunatics defined by medicine and biology.

No matter how normal these guys may seem for the time being.

"Yes, I need liberation, liberation from that eternal cycle of reincarnation, and you are the only one who can help me achieve this."

Bertrand Lederer's tone suddenly became agitated, and the humanoid figure that looked like a huge stain began to flicker and become extremely unstable.

But after just a few seconds, he seemed to calm down again and continued to speak: "Listen, I know you must have countless questions and confusions now.

The problem is that I don't have much time to explain.

You must pass through all the rooms along the way as quickly as possible to reach the huge crystal prison in the center.

Otherwise something really terrible is going to happen.

Here, this is my notes on each room. I hope it can help you."

As the last word came out of his mouth, Bertrand Lederer dropped a tattered notebook, and then his whole body turned into a ball of black smoke and disappeared on the spot.

Zuo Si bent down to pick it up and glanced at it. He immediately pursed his lips and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "Help... guidance... cooperation...

Do you think I'm as easy to fool as ordinary adventurers?

Or do you think I'm some crazy mage-scholar who's so obsessed with the God-Slayer that he'll do anything for it? No, I'm here to take it all.

No matter what your intentions are or what kind of traps you have prepared at the door of the huge crystal prison, it doesn't matter to me.

Now let's play a game of intrigue.

Let me see what this guy is up to."

After saying that, Zuo Si took the Chaos Hound and disappeared directly into the entrance to the next room.

…

另外一边，在环形水晶监牢的中心。

伯特兰·莱德勒正站在一块巨大且坚硬的水晶面前，注视着位于内部那个完全处在静止状态的毁灭黑洞，高呼双手宛如一个疯子发出歇斯底里的狂笑。

“哈哈哈哈！ 终于！

我等待了那么久、谋划了那么久，总算要获得这份超越诸神、超越一切的无敌力量。

多亏卢卡瑟·马吉那个白痴选择去寻找屠神者的意识。

他根本不明白，以自己凡人这点可怜的精神与意志，怎么可能在如此恐怖的异界生物面前存活。

但我不同！

我找到了这个没有被任何意识支配的身体，并花费几百年时间一点一点的进行渗透。

现如今，我已经把自己的灵魂融入进这个宛如毁灭黑洞的身体。

只需要一点点的外力帮助，就能通过它连接另外一个未知的混沌空间，从中抽取无穷无尽的力量成为新的屠神者。

我即是潘德瑞姆！ 即便是诸神、恶魔和魔鬼也要在我的面前屈膝臣服，否则等待他们的就会是彻底的毁灭。”

就在伯特兰·莱德勒大喊大叫的时候，一个有着类人外形、全身上下由金属打造而成的构装体生物正挥舞着魔法精金长剑，不知疲倦连续敲打着巨大的水晶监牢。

在它不知道多少年孜孜不倦的攻击下，坚硬完整的水晶已经出现了一条十分细小的裂缝，末端渗出的毁灭能量与伯特兰·莱德勒紧密连接在一起。

很显然，这家伙在尝试着释放屠神者被剥离囚禁的身体。

而且从工艺上来看，它跟其他伊玛斯卡帝国的构装体造物截然不同，是来自于代表宇宙终极秩序位面——机械境的造物。

这一点从其他构装体在靠近核心禁魔区域后会丧失行动能力，而它则完全不受影响就能看得出来。

因为机械境的生物虽然外表跟通过魔法技术制造出来的魔像没什么太大区别，但它们却拥有真正有灵魂和生命，不依靠吸收魔法能量来维持自身行动。

恰恰相反！

维持机械境生物行动的力量源自于不带任何善恶倾向的秩序、契约。

而眼前这个构装体生物——责成者，就是专门为确保所有契约都会得到履行而创造出来的。

它们平日里在宇宙各个位面四处游荡。

一旦发现有契约签署，不管是口头上的还是落实到纸面上的，只要一方违背都会立刻招致其攻击，直到责成者自身被摧毁亦或是契约内容得到履行。

在这个过程中，没有任何交涉、谈判、妥协的余地。

不用问也知道，责成者出现在水晶监牢并尝试破坏封印放出屠神者，就意味着机械境已经知道了当初伊玛斯卡帝国奇械师与潘德瑞姆之间达成的约定。

当年伯特兰·莱德勒就是靠跟在它的屁股后面，才成功越过重重阻碍抵达了监狱的核心。

同样也是靠那条被凿开的缝隙，才能与屠神者失去意识的身体进行接触、融合。

所以在伯特兰·莱德勒的眼中，一心想要释放潘德瑞姆身体的责成者，就是自己最亲密、最值得信赖的盟友。

尽管双方从始至终都没有进行过任何交流，但却拥有一模一样的目标。

与此同时，正在玩闯关游戏的左思也遇到了一点“小麻烦”。

他在进入某个房间的时候，发现自己竟然被传送到了星界一个用黑水晶打造而成的巨大宫殿中间。

两条造型奇特、相互之间有一条长达几十米锁链连接的巨龙，正用好奇中带着一丝惊讶、警惕的眼神盯着这个人类闯入者。

毫无疑问，他们可不是普通意义上的巨龙，而是星界特产的星界巨龙，一种据说力量足以媲美半神的传奇龙种。

虽然名声远没有虹彩龙、时光龙和力能龙那么出名，但却拥有无论受到多么严重的伤害都能在一瞬间恢复如初的“锁血”能力。

也就是说，在与这种巨龙战斗的时候，如果你不能在一瞬间完成秒杀，他就能活生生靠着不断恢复伤势的能力把你活活耗死。

而且眼前这两条明显是一对夫妻，中间连接的锁链就是最好的证明。

凡是星界巨龙缔结成为夫妇，相互之间就会产生这样一条连接彼此的锁链，并且体型和力量都会瞬间成倍增长。

更要命的是，他们在星界可以引发恐怖的能量波动，可以直接把自己所在的区域包裹起来形成类似神明国度一样的区域。

在该区域内，星界巨龙可以重塑空间内的一切，包括颜色、环境乃至物理法则。

也正因为如此，才会被人们认为拥有媲美半神的力量。

毕竟在外层位面，想要永久性改变重塑一大片范围内的环境、地貌和规则，是只有神才能做到的事情。

唯一值得庆幸的是，星界巨龙既不邪恶也不残暴，严守观察者的中立阵营。

所以他们通常不会对星界旅行者造成什么威胁。

但这个前提是旅行者不主动去招惹他们。

像左思这种直接带着上古邪物混沌犬魔来到人家老巢的情况，怎么看都不像是能和平解决的样子。

而且在被传送到星界的瞬间，他和柯兹夫的物质身体、装备统统都被转化成非物质的精神形态，与周围的环境彻底融为一体。

更何况水晶监牢每个房间都会设置一个通过条件。

左思不确定这一次想要返回是不是要击败乃至杀死这对星界巨龙夫妇。

“你是谁？为什么会突然闯入我们的家？”

短暂的对峙过后，为首的雄性星界巨龙率先开口试探道。

“嗯——怎么跟你们解释呢？

实际上我只是踏入了一个房间，然后便被传送到了这里。

根据设定好的规则，我需要完成某项任务才能回去并进入下一个关卡。

也就是说，我自己也不知道为什么会被传送过来。”

左思半真半假的回答道。

很显然，他并不想跟星界巨龙交手，尤其是在对方的主场。

因为这是一场典型的突然遭遇战，根本没来得及做出有针对性的准备。

最重要的是，伯特兰·莱德勒的那本笔记的注意事项中，根本没有提到过星界巨龙。

这也就意味着离开的条件应该不是与星界巨龙夫妇战斗才对。

不然的话他肯定会用大篇幅记录星界巨龙的弱点，以及详细的战斗过程。

左思甚至怀疑伯特兰·莱德勒在变成现在这幅样子之前，是否能打得过两条强大的成年星界巨龙。

“传送？啊！我明白了，你跟几百年前那个家伙一样。”

雌性星界巨龙顿时露出了恍然大悟的表情，紧跟着脸上的表情也变得充满了戏谑与玩味。

雄性更是笑着调侃道：“来自物质世界的凡人，你准备好跟我们玩一场有趣的游戏了吗？”

“可以麻烦解释一下规则和内容吗？我到现在可都是一头雾水呢。”

眼见巨龙夫妇没有发动攻击的意思，左思绷紧的神经终于稍微放松了一点，同时安抚了一下目露凶光的柯兹夫。

雌性星界巨龙显然注意到了他身边散发着恐怖气息的混沌魔犬，意味深长的警告道：“你带了一个极度危险的宠物，凡人。

请务必看好它，不然就会变成不死不休的搏杀。

相信你也不希望把原本简单的游戏变成这幅样子，对么？ 别担心，以你此刻在星界中的状态来看，想要赢得这场游戏的胜利应该不成问题。”

众所周知，一个物质世界的人在进入星界后强大与否与其智力水平息息相关。

智力属性越高，那么进入星界的精神体就会越强大，不管是移动速度还是反应都远超常人。

而左思此刻的精神体就是如此，在星界巨龙的眼中闪耀着刺眼夺目的光辉。

“如果我拒绝呢？”

左思不动声色的反问。

“那么你会被困在这里永远也无法离开。

而且由于星界的特性，你不会衰老也不会正常死亡，永远被囚禁在黑水晶宫殿内。

这不是由我们决定的，而是创造这个魔法的人提前设置好的规则。

除非……”

说到这，雄性星界巨龙故意停顿了一下，紧跟着张开双翼散发出剧烈的能量波动，俯下身体用充满威胁的口吻补充道：“除非你能把我们俩都杀死，用鲜血打开这个牢笼才能重新恢复自由。所以请选择吧，是游戏还是不死不休的战斗。”

“两者有甚么区别么？”

左思并没有因为对方的威胁而有一丁点动摇，不管是表情还是眼神都冷静的令人感到恐惧。

“当然有。

如果是游戏，那么你每输掉一次，精神体的一部分就会成为我们的食物。

In other words, it is a permanent loss of intelligence attributes until you win and leave or lose all your intelligence attributes and become a complete idiot.

If it is a life-and-death fight, the rules will be reversed.

If you win, you can devour both of us, and if we win, we can break free and leave this cage."

When the option of a life-and-death fight was mentioned, the emotions of the female astral dragon became noticeably agitated, excited, and even expectant.

There is no doubt that they, like the powerful extradimensional creatures encountered in the previous rooms, are guards bound here by the Imaskar Empire's artificers through some powerful magical contract or artifact.

Compared to the painless little games, these guys obviously hope that the intruders can make some bold choices so that they can regain their freedom.

Zuo Si was quick to notice this and asked directly, "Compared to playing games, are you more eager to fight?"

The male astral dragon nodded without hesitation: "That's right.

Although there is no concept of time in the astral realm, there is no aging or death.

But we are trapped in our own homes and cannot take even a step forward.

It feels terrible to have your freedom restricted, and it is absolutely impossible to get any information from the outside world.

But you and your pet are powerful enough, unlike the mortal named Bertrand Lederer who was not even qualified to pose a threat to us.

In that case, why don't we fight with our lives at stake?"

"Think about it. If you kill us, you will not only gain countless knowledge, memories, and power through devouring us, but you can also take away all the treasures in this Black Crystal Palace."

The female astral dragon also followed suit and tempted to strike while the iron was hot.

That impatient attitude was exactly the same as that of a door-to-door salesperson.

Judging from the behavior of this dragon couple, they have obviously been driven crazy by living in isolation for so long.

Likewise, they were very confident in each other's abilities and didn't think they would lose at all.

"Haha, I really am looked down upon. Since you are so eager to die, I will grant your wish."

Zuo Sicheng was so angry at the other party's attitude of treating him like a lamb to be slaughtered that he laughed, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.

As a great devil, he is an absolute quasi-god in the astral realm, and can draw energy from the ninth layer of Baator Hell without any restrictions.

Unfortunately, the two giant astral dragons did not realize this. Instead, they showed a happy expression and asked in unison: "So you choose to fight to the death?"

"right!"

As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si took the lead in attacking, raising his hand to use the Nine Rings' [Energy Absorption Technique].

Since the astral realm is composed entirely of spiritual energy, all spells here do not require preparation. They will take effect with just a thought, which is equivalent to all spellcasters automatically obtaining the super-magic skill of instant spell casting.

The fact that all spells are cast instantly means that they cannot be countered, and the battle between the two depends on the ability to predict in advance and the amount of magic power that one possesses.

In this regard, Zuo Si, who practiced both Sinnoh and Shen'ao, clearly had an overwhelming advantage.

What's more, he is not alone, he has the help of Chaos Hound, an ancient evil creature.

The moment he saw his master launch an attack, Kozef pounced directly on the nearest male astral dragon.

At the beginning, the latter instantly cast a wall of force to block this unknown creature that exuded a dangerous aura.

But Kozef instantly switched to ghost form and passed through at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye. He immediately let out a shrill howl that made the enemy fall into uncontrollable fear, and then he opened his mouth and bit it hard.

Tear!

The blood of the Star Dragon, sparkling with silver light, suddenly gushed out from the wound. The damage caused by its sharp teeth and saliva containing strong acid energy was far beyond the expectations of the dragon couple.

They simply couldn't believe that this unknown creature could actually pass through the wall of force in an instant and bite through the extremely hard scales on its body. Even they themselves could not escape the terrified howl it emitted.

However, for the Star Dragon, no matter what kind of injury it has, as long as it is not dead, it can recover instantly with just a thought.

So the male Star Dragon simply flapped its wings and slapped the Chaos Hound, knocking it away, and then the injuries on its body disappeared without a trace.

But his wife was not so lucky.

Because Zuo Si was not like many "Material Plane Guys" who lacked knowledge of the ecology and creatures of the Astral Plane. He was well aware of how disgusting the "Blood Lock" of the Astral Dragon was. He did not rush to cast those powerful damage spells to try to kill his opponent instantly, but began to draw levels and attributes.

Can the damage taken be restored infinitely?

It doesn't matter! I can wait until your level and certain attributes are reduced to a certain level, and then use damage magic to kill you instantly.

Many mages will resort to this rather "dirty" method when dealing with powerful enemies that cannot be killed by normal means.

But the Star Realm Dragon couple are not vegetarians either.

When he realized that the enemy before him was far more dangerous than he had imagined, he decisively began to change the physical and magical rules within the entire palace.

Sometimes they reversed gravity, sometimes they disabled a faction's magical effects.

With this god-like power, he was able to fight with Zuo Si in a short period of time.

In particular, the female astral dragon, whose level and strength attributes had been drained a lot, was obviously aware of the opponent's tactics and decisively strangled the necromancy magic.

Because only magic from this faction can continuously cause negative levels and reductions in basic attributes.

On the other side, after realizing that the Chaos Hound could not kill him in an instant, the male Astral Dragon immediately chose to rush forward and engage in hand-to-hand combat in exchange for injury.

Anyway, his injuries can be healed instantly, while his opponent's injuries will continue to accumulate, so he will definitely win in the end.

(End of this chapter)
