At the same time, in the northwest of the Corrupted Dragon Swamp, high in the sky near the outskirts of the mountains.
A flash of inky black lightning tore through the pale green miasma cloud and fled madly at a speed far exceeding the speed of sound!
It was a miniature black dragon only about one meter long.
The entire body is covered with scales as deep as black jade, with dark gold patterns flowing along the edges.
Its shape is extremely complete, and its streamlined body is full of power.
The newborn's vertical pupils, burning with dark golden flames, were filled with ecstasy of surviving a catastrophe, deep-rooted anger, and... an extreme desire for freedom and power!
Fallen Corrupted Dragon, Lord of Skeletons.
In other words, it was through the twisted "rebirth" ceremony of the Enlightenment Society.
At the last moment, he stripped off his huge and rotten old shell and reshaped his body with the purest source of darkness - Black Ferry Nidhogg!
Its power at this moment is far from recovering to the extraordinary legendary level of its heyday.
He even failed to stabilize at the peak of the high level.
But the pride and ferocity of the ancient black dragon have revived along with this new and energetic body!
"You lowly bug! Damn Holy Light! And that damned Enlightenment bastard!"
Nidhogg roared in his heart, his dragon wings vibrating at high frequency, leaving a long sonic boom cloud behind him. "The Warcraft Mountains are human territory. We cannot stay here for long! We must flee to the northwest immediately, into the Orc Wasteland or even further into the Unowned Land! Wait until my strength recovers..."
Just as it was about to break out of the Rot Dragon Swamp and the outline of the mountain range ahead was faintly visible—
Something strange happened suddenly!
The seemingly ordinary mountains, forests, swamps, and even the sky below suddenly lit up with countless bright stars!
These starlights do not come from the sky, but emerge out of thin air from the earth, from the void, and from every wisp of air, interweaving and connecting in an instant!
A huge net made of pure starlight, so huge that it covered the sky and earth within a radius of dozens of miles, suddenly took shape and shrank without any warning!
The starlight network is dense and complex, and every ray of light contains the mysterious power of spatial confinement and powerful magical suppression!
"roar--!!!"
Hei Du let out a dragon roar filled with shock and anger. The huge sound waves crashed into the web of starlight, but only caused ripples, like a stone thrown into a deep pool.
It tried to break through at supersonic speed, but the moment the dragon's body hit the light net, it was like falling into the thickest quagmire, and its speed dropped sharply!
The seemingly flexible light actually carried immense force as it cut into its newly formed black jade scales, making a teeth-grinding "crunch" sound, and dark golden dragon blood instantly oozed out from the marks!
"Who?! Dare to stop the great Black Ferry Nidhogg?!"
The black dragon struggled hard, dark golden fire burning wildly in its eyes, trying to spit out dragon breath to tear the restraints.
However, the starlight net shone brightly, and a will as vast as the sea of stars descended, suppressing the power it was brewing within the body.
A female voice, lazily yet with undeniable majesty, seemed to resound directly from the depths of Nidhogg's soul, with a hint of playful laughter:
"Heh, you little loach, fresh out of the oven, you have quite a temper. From now on, your name will be 'Xiao Hei'."
This voice... this power... Hei Du's heart was shocked. This guy was more difficult to deal with than Holy Light!
It gave up its futile struggle, raised its ferocious dragon head, and roared angrily at the distorted space behind the starlight web, its dragon language filled with rage:
"The Star-Moon Church?! You subordinates of that treacherous bitch! I am Black Dragon Nidhogg, the heir of the ancient Black Dragon! The Black Dragon Clan and you have a long-standing alliance! How dare you, the Star-Moon Church, be such despicable villains, kicking someone when they're down and taking advantage of their misfortune?! Aren't you afraid..."
"Afraid?"
The lazy female voice uttered a clear sneer, interrupting the black dragon's roar. The mockery in her tone was not concealed at all. "An heir of the 'Ancient Black Dragon' who hasn't even reached transcendence and has just crawled out of the grave? A loser who has to rely on stealing human rituals to rebuild his body?"
"Besides, are followers of the Dark God worthy enough to negotiate an alliance? Are they worthy enough to accuse others of being 'villains'? If it weren't for your betrayal, how could the Holy Light Church dominate the human kingdom today?"
"you……"
Nidhogg was choked by this extreme humiliation, and his dragon breath surged, and his new scales trembled slightly with anger.
"Save your energy, Xiao Hei." Xingyue's voice returned to that lazy, controlling tone. "Kick someone when they're down? No, this is making good use of waste."
"The Enlightenment Society botched their 'God-making' game, leaving behind a scrap like you with some potential. Rather than letting you escape and become an uncontrollable scourge, or being captured and burned by the Holy Light Church, it's better... just be my pet."
"Dream on! I'd rather die..." Nidhogg let out his final roar.
However, its roar came to an abrupt halt.
The starlight network covering the sky and the earth suddenly burst out with dazzling light, and countless starlight runes flowed and combined in it, forming an extremely large three-dimensional magic array!
The vast star magic power was like a real tide, ignoring the black dragon's struggle and roar, and madly poured into its new body, forcibly suppressing the dark origin will that it had just condensed!
“Ah… Woo…”
Nidhogg's enormous dragon power quickly withered like a punctured balloon.
The dark golden vertical pupils were filled with unwillingness to be humiliated and... a hint of fear of being crushed by absolute power.
Its struggles became weaker and weaker. Bound by the giant starlight net, its huge dragon body was forcibly compressed and deformed like a doll being kneaded by an invisible giant hand.
Finally, after a flash of dazzling starlight, the huge starlight formation covering dozens of miles disappeared without a trace, along with the struggling and roaring black dragon in it.
In the sky above the northwest edge of the Rotten Dragon Swamp, there was only the slowly flowing pale green miasma and the low hum of the energy aftermath that had not yet completely subsided coming from the direction of the Witch Dragon Lake in the distance.
It was as if the thrilling pursuit and suppression just now was just a dream.
Only a faint trace of star power and the sweet smell of dragon blood remained in the air, revealing everything that had happened here.
————
The Enlightenment Society, Lily Kingdom branch, a secret hall somewhere.
The scene of the ritual core collapsing, the Lord of Bones escaping, Spencer falling, and Warwick's breath being cut off.
Like a cold tide, it poured through several suspended crystal balls and into this huge hall shrouded in oppressive blue light.
In the center of the hall, more than ten shadows of various shapes and obscure auras stood quietly, as silent as tombstones.
The air was as heavy as a frozen iceberg. Only the last remaining energy waves of the Wulong Lake in the crystal ball were roaring silently.
"Failed."
A hoarse voice was the first to break the silence. It came from a projection shrouded in a starry cloak. No emotion could be heard in the voice, but it carried a great weight.
