Chapter 129-128- Bone Dragon
In the night sky, above a certain dark and thick cloud layer, the moonlight poured down unhindered, dyeing the entire sea of clouds into flowing silver satin. The stars in the sky were within reach, so bright that they seemed a little distorted.
In this utterly tranquil world above the clouds, a massive bone dragon, nearly the size of a battleship, lay dormant. Its bony wings were clung to a translucent membrane, its snow-white spine resembling an undulating mountain range. Completely unaffected by the no-fly zone, it hovered in the air like a forgotten island in the sky.
At the location of the bone dragon's skull, there were two men wearing gorgeous sacrificial robes. They not only placed tables, chairs and benches here, but even had the leisure to brew a pot of black tea on the table, as if they were completely unconcerned about the hustle and bustle of the city below.
"Why such a big fuss this time? I don't understand." A square-faced middle-aged man in the middle of the two asked while drinking tea, "Didn't they say that they were just two ordinary test subjects? Oh, and Wuming... Could it be that you can't beat her?"
The man next to him was thinner, his brown hair tied back in a ponytail. He said, "That 'Nameless' is indeed an extraordinary fighter, but she is completely insignificant. The two experimental subjects are the most important."
After a pause, he continued, "You should also be able to sense that the Black Tower's attitude towards those two experimental subjects is very subtle, right?"
"It's true, but is it necessary to take it so seriously?" the square-faced man said, "I think Lin Tui and Hei Chao are doing the same thing, it's just that the Black Tower didn't keep a close eye on them..."
"But don't forget, 'Divine Transformation' is different. Although there is no evidence for this matter, 'Divine Transformation' is more special than the 'Erosion Seed' of the Kirin Transformation creature and the 'Abyss' of the Black Tide Company." said the man with long hair and ponytail.
He lowered his head and took a sip of his tea before continuing, "Your Majesty and I both believe that this specialness is the reason Black Tower Pharmaceuticals is so eager to obtain these two experimental subjects. We only need to obtain any one of them to understand how the 'Divine Transmutation' is more special than the other two. Therefore, this operation cannot afford to fail."
The square-faced man said, "But why do you want me to come? A dignified Soul Fire Saint, aren't you enough on your own?"
Soul Fire Saint was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "It's indeed a bit tiring."
The square-faced man showed a surprised expression: "Are you kidding?"
Soul Fire Saint Si shook his head: "Although I'm drinking tea with you, all my other energy has been used to deal with her... In short, she's not that easy to deal with."
Then he asked, "Did you find the two experimental subjects?"
"Found it." said the square-faced man.
"That's fine." Soul Fire Saint closed his eyes and continued to control the evil spirit clones on the battlefield below, fighting fiercely with the mysterious and powerful silver-haired girl.
…
The cold moonlight poured down from the center of the night, coating the surface of the abandoned blast furnace in the steel plant with a layer of cold and hard glaze.
Standing on the open grassland, "Ducha Besemai" looked at the two little girls in front of him with an uncontrollable smile in his eyes.
For these two experimental subjects, one of the five main priests of the reincarnation cycle was directly reduced. He ran into them when he arrived. His luck was so good that it was hard to describe.
He said with a forced smile, "Will you come with me obediently, or shall I knock you out, smash the iron lump next to you, and take you away with me?"
Hearing this, he saw obvious nervousness and fear on the faces of the blonde girl and the mechanical puppet. Only the silver-haired girl next to them had no reaction and even looked up at the sky, as if she didn't take him seriously at all.
Then he heard the little blonde girl ask, "Are you the true form of the mage?"
Ducha laughed: "Yes, I am the original body, but I may not be as fragile as you think."
Most necromancers are not strong in their true form, because this is essentially a summoning mage profession, and using summoned creatures to fight is the right path.
Coincidentally, Ducha and his superior, the "Ghoul Saint," were not drawn to the summoning system. The zombie army was merely a support, preferring to refine themselves into powerful ghouls, possessing terrifying physical strength and the ability to pursue an even longer lifespan.
Of course, this comes at a price: the downside is that one will almost certainly become insane in the future. But Ducha believes that at the end of necromancy, there must be a way to achieve immortality without becoming insane, a path that most necromancers dream of.
Seeing Ducha's arrogant and clear answer, Liana said to Zero, "I can handle it, don't do anything yet."
Zero hummed and took a few steps back obediently, looking very obedient.
After Yinghuo retreated a certain distance, Liana turned around and instantly transformed into a phantom, rushing towards Ducha. Three shadow touches emerged from under her clothes, like sharp spears, piercing the zombie giant's body at its most vulnerable points.
Instantly, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle. Liana's movements were clumsy, but her speed and strength were insane. She spun around the giant zombie like a ghost, using Shadow Touch as an anchor and a spring, performing various strange transformations and twisting and turning like a nimble squirrel.
Ducha was soon confused. His corpse body was more than three meters tall, while Liana was less than one and a half meters tall. In addition to the speed difference, he made several moves, but apart from making holes in the ground, he didn't touch a single hair of Liana.
But it wasn't easy for Liana to harm Ducha. After years of training, Ducha's ghoul body had become as strong as iron. Even without any defensive spells, he could withstand the heavy artillery of the magic mechas head-on and remain unscathed. Liana's tentacles were sharp enough, but if they didn't pierce a vital spot like the eyes, they would only leave minor scratches on the victim's skin.
"Should we do something? There are more and more zombies around..." Firefly walked to Zero and asked in a low voice.
Since Ducha was concentrating on fighting Liana in close combat, the zombies around him, although surrounding him, stood still. It seemed like a good opportunity to clear the monsters.
"Why not wait for Liana to win? These zombies will be left without anyone to control them, so of course they will all die." Zero squatted down, supporting his chin with both hands, and showed a playful smile.
"Can we really win?"
"Of course, I always believe in Liana."
"What about you? If it's your turn, can you defeat this Ducha?" Based on past experience, Firefly is more confident in Zero.
Zero's smile became even more intense, but for some reason, beneath her long eyelashes, her dark red eyes were filled with a strange and complicated emotion.
"Of course." She looked down at the ground and said with a smile, "But I can't always take care of her, and you. The days ahead... are still very long."
Firefly didn't understand what she was talking about. She just felt that Zero had been becoming more and more strange since coming to Fusjiang. She had felt this way even before her sister appeared.
Is something going to happen?
But what exactly is it?
Why didn't she say it?
Human beings are indeed complex animals...it sighed silently.
…
A few minutes later, a heart-wrenching scream was heard from the silent abandoned steel mill.
When Firefly raised its head, it saw a shadow as thick as ink piercing Ducha's chest, smashing the magic core and several key magic furnace cores in his body, causing steam-like elemental mist to continuously overflow from Ducha's body, making him look like a bomb about to explode.
Immediately, Liana jumped lightly off Ducha, putting some distance between them. She was breathing heavily, her face was pale, and sweat soaked her golden hair.
During the fight, she had been attacking a certain point on Ducha's chest with precision. After spending some time, she finally completed a single-point breakthrough and destroyed important components in Ducha's body, such as the artificial magic core and magic reactor.
Although he didn't have time to kill Ducha, with the loss of most of his magic cores, Ducha's strength quickly shrunk like a deflated ball, and his combat effectiveness was naturally only one tenth of what it was.
"Wow! We really won!" Looking at Ducha who was half-kneeling on the ground and extremely weak, Firefly cheered.
Almost immediately, the densely packed zombie army within the encirclement fell like mowed wheat. Clearly, without their master's magical power supply, the undead army was completely paralyzed.
The situation reversed instantly!
"I'm out of strength, Yvette, you come and finish me off." Liana's legs went limp and she collapsed onto the ground, her breath barely fading.
In the previous battle, she had exhausted her magic power and physical strength. If it was a one-on-one fight, she would be the one to be killed.
All I can say is that it was fortunate that Ducha's order was to capture him alive, and that she was restrained in battle and did not dare to kill, otherwise she would have absolutely no chance.
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Yinghuo quickly raised the gun and aimed at Ducha's head.
But at the moment when the counterattack horn was sounded, a strange sound suddenly appeared in the night sky.
It was not thunder, but the shriek of some gigantic creature tearing through the clouds at an astonishing speed.
Ducha, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly looked up. His zombie face was stunned at first, then he grinned viciously and mockingly, staring at the two little girls in the field.
Liana and Yinghuo also subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the night sky.
Then they saw, under the vast starry sky, a huge bone dragon with blue ghost fire burning in its eye sockets appeared from some black clouds, and fell towards their direction like a ferocious beast resurrected from ancient times.
It's too late to post first and then change it
