"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 sighed 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 became 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.
…
On the other side, in the center of the circular crystal prison.
Bertrand Lederer was standing in front of a huge and hard crystal, staring at the completely static black hole of destruction inside, shouting with his hands up and laughing hysterically like a madman.
"Hahahaha! Finally!"
I have waited and planned for so long, and finally I am going to obtain this invincible power that surpasses all gods and everything.
Thanks to that idiot Lukather Magee for choosing to search for the God Butcher's consciousness.
He simply didn't understand how it was possible for a mortal like him with his pitiful spirit and will to survive against such terrifying alien creatures.
But I'm different!
I found this body that was not controlled by any consciousness, and spent hundreds of years infiltrating it bit by bit.
Now, I have integrated my soul into this body that is like a black hole of destruction.
With just a little bit of external help, he could use it to connect to another unknown chaotic space, draw endless power from it and become a new godslayer.
I am Pandrem! Even gods, demons, and devils must kneel before me, or they will be completely destroyed."
Just as Bertrand Lederer was shouting, a construct creature with a humanoid appearance and made entirely of metal was wielding a magical adamantium sword, tirelessly and continuously hitting the huge crystal prison.
After who knows how many years of tireless attacks, a very tiny crack has appeared in the hard and intact crystal, and the destructive energy seeping out from the end is closely connected with Bertrand Lederer.
It was obvious that this guy was trying to free the God Butcher's imprisoned body.
Moreover, from the perspective of craftsmanship, it is completely different from other constructs of the Imaskar Empire. It is a creation from the mechanical realm, which represents the ultimate order of the universe.
This can be seen from the fact that other constructs will lose their ability to move after approaching the core forbidden magic area, but it is completely unaffected.
Because although the creatures in the mechanical realm look not much different from golems created through magical technology, they have real souls and lives, and do not rely on absorbing magical energy to maintain their own actions.
Quite the opposite!
The power that maintains the actions of mechanical creatures comes from order and contracts that do not carry any tendencies towards good or evil.
And the construct creature in front of us - the Enforcer - was created specifically to ensure that all contracts are fulfilled.
They usually wander around in various dimensions of the universe.
Once a contract is found to have been signed, whether verbal or written, any violation by one party will immediately lead to their attack until the obligor is destroyed or the terms of the contract are fulfilled.
In this process, there is no room for any negotiation, consultation or compromise.
Needless to say, the fact that the Enforcer appeared in the Crystal Prison and tried to break the seal to release the God Slayer meant that the Mechanicus already knew about the agreement reached between the Imaskar Empire's Artificer and Pandrem.
Bertrand Lederer was able to overcome numerous obstacles and reach the core of the prison by following behind it.
It was also through that chiseled gap that he was able to make contact and merge with the God Slayer's unconscious body.
Therefore, in Bertrand Lederer's eyes, the person who was determined to release Pandrem's body was his closest and most trusted ally.
Although the two sides did not communicate with each other from beginning to end, they had the same goal.
At the same time, Zuo Si, who was playing the level-breaking game, also encountered some "little trouble".
When he entered a room, he found himself teleported to the center of a huge palace made of black crystal in the astral realm.
Two giant dragons with strange shapes, connected by a chain several dozen meters long, were staring at the human intruder with curiosity, a hint of surprise and vigilance.
There is no doubt that they are not dragons in the ordinary sense, but stellar dragons that are unique to the stellar world, a legendary dragon species that is said to be powerful enough to rival a demigod.
Although it is not as famous as the Rainbow Dragon, Time Dragon and Power Dragon, it has the "blood lock" ability that can restore to its original state in an instant no matter how serious the damage is.
That is to say, when fighting with this kind of dragon, if you cannot kill it instantly, it will rely on its ability to continuously recover from injuries to consume you to death.
Moreover, the two figures in front of us are obviously a couple, and the chain connecting them is the best proof.
Whenever the star dragons become married, such a chain will be formed between them, and their size and strength will increase exponentially in an instant.
What's even more terrible is that they can cause terrifying energy fluctuations in the astral realm, which can directly wrap up the area where they are located to form an area similar to the kingdom of gods.
Within this area, the Astral Dragon can reshape everything in space, including color, environment, and even the laws of physics.
It is precisely because of this that people believe that he possesses power comparable to that of a demigod.
After all, in the outer planes, only gods can permanently change and reshape the environment, topography, and rules over a large area.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the Astral Dragons are neither evil nor brutal, and they strictly adhere to the neutral alignment of the Observers.
So they usually pose no threat to astral travelers.
But this is based on the premise that travelers do not take the initiative to provoke them.
A situation like Zuo Si's, who directly brought the ancient evil creature, the Chaos Hound Demon, to someone else's lair, doesn't seem like it can be resolved peacefully.
Moreover, the moment they were teleported to the astral realm, his and Kozef's physical bodies and equipment were all transformed into non-material spiritual forms, completely blending into the surrounding environment.
What's more, each room in the crystal prison has a passing condition.
Zuo Si was not sure whether he wanted to return this time to defeat or even kill the giant dragon couple.
"Who are you? Why did you suddenly break into our home?"
After a brief standoff, the leading male star dragon took the lead and spoke tentatively.
“Well—how can I explain it to you?
I literally just stepped into a room and was transported here.
According to the set rules, I need to complete a certain task before I can go back and enter the next level.
In other words, I myself don’t know why I was teleported here.”
Zuo Si answered half-truthfully.
Obviously, he didn't want to fight the Star Dragon, especially in the opponent's home court.
Because this was a typical sudden encounter, there was no time to make targeted preparations.
Most importantly, there was no mention of the astral dragon in the notes of Bertrand Lederer's notebook.
This means that the condition for leaving should not be fighting with the Star Dragon couple.
Otherwise, he would definitely use a lot of space to record the weaknesses of the Astral Dragon and the detailed battle process.
Zuo Si even doubted whether Bertrand Lederer could defeat two powerful adult astral dragons before he became what he is now.
"Teleport? Ah! I see. You're the same guy from hundreds of years ago."
The female star dragon immediately revealed a look of sudden enlightenment, and then the expression on her face became full of teasing and amusement.
The male even smiled and teased: "Mortal from the material world, are you ready to play an interesting game with us?"
"Could you explain the rules and content to me? I'm still confused."
Seeing that the dragon couple had no intention of launching an attack, Zuo Si's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and at the same time he comforted Kezef, who had a fierce look in his eyes.
The female Astral Dragon obviously noticed the Chaos Hound beside him that exuded a terrifying aura, and warned him meaningfully: "You brought an extremely dangerous pet, mortal.
Please be sure to watch it carefully, otherwise it will become a fight to the death.
I believe you don't want to turn a simple game into this, right? Don't worry, considering your current state in the astral world, it shouldn't be a problem to win this game. "
It is well known that whether a person in the material world becomes powerful after entering the astral world is closely related to his or her intelligence level.
The higher the intelligence attribute, the more powerful the spiritual body that enters the astral realm will be, and its movement speed and reaction will far exceed that of ordinary people.
And this is the case with Zuo Si's spiritual body at the moment, shining with dazzling light in the eyes of the star dragon.
"What if I say no?"
Zuo Si asked calmly.
“Then you’ll be stuck here and never be able to leave.
And due to the characteristics of the astral plane, you will not age or die normally, and will be imprisoned in the Black Crystal Palace forever.
This is not decided by us, but the rules set in advance by the person who created this magic.
unless……"
At this point, the male astral dragon paused deliberately, then spread his wings and emitted violent energy fluctuations. He leaned down and added in a threatening tone: "Unless you can kill both of us and open this cage with blood, you can regain your freedom. So please choose, a game or a fight to the death."
“Is there any difference between the two?”
Zuo Si was not shaken at all by the other party's threat. Both his expression and eyes were so calm that it was frightening.
"Of course.
If this is a game, then every time you lose, a part of your spirit body will become our food.
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 was 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 obtain 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.
