High in the sky, a giant thunder snake is hovering.
Soret's face kept changing shape.
Sometimes he had the face of a handsome human man, and sometimes he had the terrifying and hideous face of a demon with a bird's beak, which was extremely weird.
"Victor!"
Soret roared.
He seemed to be speaking to the being within himself.
Soon, a black mist seeped out of Soret's body.
Then, a shadow wearing a black crown appeared in front of him.
The phantom was wearing a crow mask, so the real face could not be seen clearly.
He wore a large cape woven from black feathers and heavy black armor.
He was like a lone king, sitting on the "Feather Throne" woven from black feathers.
"Soret, what do you want from me again?" the shadow laughed in a low voice.
"You're asking even though you already know the answer! Victor, I need the power of your seventh familiar!" Soret said coldly.
"Is this the attitude you wizards have when asking others to do things for you?" Victor sneered.
"Victor, don't forget, without me, you would have disappeared long ago. If you want to successfully return to the abyss and regain your throne as the lord of the 223rd floor of the abyss, don't put on a condescending attitude. We are just cooperating, and I am not your slave." Soret said.
"I can provide you with the power of the seventh familiar, but what is the price?" Victor asked calmly.
"What price do you want?" asked Soret.
"I need a powerful and perfect body that can carry the power of the great lord of the abyss, the noble Black Feather Demon King Victor." Victor said.
"Is the body of a four-ring wizard okay?" Soret said with a frown.
"A fourth-ring wizard? Soret, you may have misunderstood the great power of the Abyss Lord. With your weak bodies, if you want to bear my power, you must be at least a sixth-ring wizard. A fourth-ring wizard, unless he is a body-refining wizard, will never be able to bear my power." Victor shook his head with a condescending attitude.
"Six-ring wizard? This is a high-level wizard, comparable to the Lord of the Abyss. Where can I find one for you?!" Soret laughed angrily.
"Don't compare me with those rubbish Abyss Lords before the 100th floor. In my prime, even the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord who turned your Endless Sea upside down was no match for me."
"The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord is a thing of the past. He has advanced to the Thousand-Eyed Lord and has become a ninth-level demon lord. Even if you are in your prime now, you are not worthy of being compared with him."
"You...just tell me when you will prepare a suitable body for me. My power is not for you to use at will." Victor was angry by Soret and said in a cold voice.
"It's impossible to become a high-level soul wizard. Even if I had that ability, I would not let you live in my body. I would have killed you long ago. Next, I will look for a suitable mid-level body refining wizard. Once I find one, I will give you the body as soon as possible." Soret promised.
"A mid-level body-refining wizard? Not bad, I'll just use it for now."
"Now, can you lend me the power of your seventh familiar?" said Soret.
Victor was silent for a moment, and then he chanted complicated spells, like the whispers of a devil, which was disturbing.
A huge hole appeared inside his black mist-like body, which was pitch black and seemed to lead to an unknown place.
From this hole, an ordinary-looking crow flew out.
As soon as the crow appeared, it transformed into a feminine and handsome black-haired young man.
"The seventh familiar, Dark Crow, greets the king!" After the black-haired young man appeared, he half-knelt in the air and knelt down towards Victor.
Victor, the lord of the 223rd layer of the abyss, is said to have a total of 18 familiars living inside his body.
The first seven of the eighteen familiars are upper-level demons comparable to high-level wizards, while the rest are middle-level demons with various special abilities and outstanding strength.
The seventh familiar, Dark Crow, is a level six demon [Crow Feather Demon], skilled in clones, stealth, and assassination.
Of course, this dark crow is nothing more than the incarnation of demonic energy condensed by Victor's soul that resides in Soret's body through secret techniques, which is the level of a fourth-level demon.
The real Dark Crow, along with Victor's original self, were suppressed by Victor's enemies on the 223rd floor of the Abyss.
A long, long time ago, Victor was betrayed by the most powerful and trusted first familiar in his body. That damn traitor joined forces with the territoryless upper-level nomadic demons from other levels to launch a sneak attack and severely damaged Victor.
Victor's true self, along with the other seventeen familiars in his body, were suppressed and refined by his enemies, never to be able to rise again.
Now that continues such a long time has passed, the power of the original body is constantly diminishing. If this, Victor will perish sooner or later.
Fortunately, Victor still had a secret weapon. As early as in the previous war with the wizard civilization, Victor had left a trace of his soul in the human world.
This fragment of soul had been dormant in a place until Soret accidentally broke in here. Victor then invaded Soret's body and became the grandfather inside Soret's body.
In the end, he reached a cooperation by signing a soul contract with Soret.
Victor provides Soret with demonic power to fulfill his ambitions, and Soret also has to meet Victor's demands.
Victor wants to find a good body in the wizarding world, and then fuse his soul and body with secret methods to form an avatar.
When the time is right, this clone will find a way to go to the Abyss Plane, find a way to awaken the original body, take revenge on the traitor First Apostle, and take back his own throne!
Of course, now, he is just a miserable lonely soul who cannot leave Soret's body and can only act with the help of Soret's power.
"Soret, I will temporarily lend you the seventh familiar Dark Raven Avatar. I hope you won't let me down."
Victor stared at Soret, then turned into a ball of black mist and merged into Soret's body.
Summoning the power of the seventh familiar is also a huge burden for Victor's already weak soul.
Soret looked at the disappearing Victor, squinting his eyes, exuding a dangerous aura, and then he looked at the dazed Crow over there and said.
"Dark Crow, I want you to go to the Black Pearl Wizard Market, sneak in, and continue to create chaos and panic in the following days. If you are caught by the Five Rings Wizard, you can just self-destruct, and you must not reveal the relationship between us." Soret said.
Dark Crow's face showed no emotion, like an emotionless killer. He said calmly: "Since it is the king's intention, I have no problem with it. To me, it is nothing more than the loss of an incarnation of evil. I haven't tasted the taste of killing for too long." When it comes to killing, Dark Crow's expression becomes ferocious and excited.
That's how demons are, that's their nature.
"Go ahead." said Soret.
Without saying a word, Dark Crow transformed into a crow and flew towards the Black Pearl Wizard Market.
"With Dark Crow's stealth and assassination abilities, no wizard below the fourth ring in the Black Pearl Wizard Market can be a match for Dark Crow. Although this clone of Dark Crow is only at the fourth level, the abilities it possesses are far beyond the reach of an ordinary fourth-level wizard. Even a fifth-ring wizard would have to spend a lot of effort to crack Dark Crow's stealth and disguise.
Old man Garcia, you won't be able to find the Raven in a short time. This will undoubtedly continue to create panic in the Black Pearl Wizard Market and affect the normal operation of the market. When people's morale is low, I will take action.
Even if Garcia guessed that the devil was my doing, he couldn't do anything to me because he had no evidence.
It won't be long before Garcia will beg me to buy out this chaotic Black Pearl Wizard Market.
It is too naive for a mere fifth-ring cultivator to fight against our Thunder Dragon Family."
Soret left the fifth district directly. From now on, there will be no peace in the Black Pearl Wizard Market.
Because the devil is lurking around us, ready to devour anyone.
This is the price of disobeying the Thunder Dragon Family!
…
Black Pearl Wizard Market.
Old John has just returned from looking for potion.
"The resources in this Endless Sea are becoming increasingly scarce. It would be great if we had our own secret resource realm." Old John frowned.
"I don't know if Xavier has repaired my magic weapon for me. I always feel uneasy when I go out without it."
Old John had a three-ring magic weapon, which was his treasure. It had accompanied him for a long time and saved his life many times.
Just a while ago, Xavier, who had some free time, finally started to repair his magical weapons, which made old John very much looking forward to it.
Suddenly, a black crow fell from the sky and rushed towards Old John.
Old John sensed something was wrong, and his three-ring protective force field automatically lit up. Sea-blue waves surrounded Old John, with rune light flashing in them.
Third-ring spell: Guardian of the Deep.
However, the next moment, the black crow's beak easily opened Old John's protective force field.
Old John's face changed drastically.
His only innate attack spell was cast instantly.
Circles of ripples spread out in all directions with him as the center.
The force of these ripples is enough to shatter rocks, push back waves, and crush enemies.
The black crow's feathers shone with a faint light, and demonic energy burned, wrapping its entire body and resisting the force of the ripples.
"Is this a demon?" Old John was terrified and quickly ran away.
He knew that with his strength as an ordinary three-ring wizard and a pharmacist at that, he was no match for this demon. If he continued like this, he would surely die.
The black crow let out a human-like laugh and transformed into a black light, pouring into Old John's body.
"Damn it!" Old John found that black feathers were growing wildly inside his internal organs.
These dense black feathers emerged from Old John's body and then quickly disappeared.
In Old John's sea of consciousness, the shadow of a feminine and handsome young man slowly emerged and confronted Old John's mental power.
"Goodbye, human."
The young man sneered, and then a black light flashed...
I don’t know how long it took.
Old John, who had been struggling, finally stopped moving. He stood blankly in the air.
"A human who is about to die...running around for ingredients to make a medicine that can extend his life. Tsk tsk tsk."
The Crow Feather Demon absorbed some of Old John's memories.
“Hey, Old John actually knows a body-refining wizard named Levi, but unfortunately he is only at the third ring, which will definitely not satisfy the king.
Well, I'll have to ask Soret to find a better body. This incarnation of mine can only exist for a month, and then, I'll start killing."
Dark Crow's talent allows him to parasitize beings with weaker mental power than him and peek into their memories.
Many middle and upper demons in the abyss possess this terrifying talent, the most famous of which is the Mind Flayer!
It is precisely because of this that demons are so difficult to deal with, because they can often rely on their powerful camouflage ability to hide among humans. If they do not use demonic energy, they may not be able to detect each other.
"Old John" quickly flew towards the Black Pearl Wizard Market.
Came to the entrance of the magic circle.
"Lord John, you've been out for a long time this time." The second-ring wizard guarding the door said with a smile.
"Don't say anything. It's so difficult to be a pharmacist. I can't find any materials. Alas." "Old John" sighed.
"Yes, there are more and more wizards, but fewer and fewer resources. I guess after this wave of civil war is over, we will have to start preparing to find and open up new resource planes." The guard sighed.
"Old John" showed his identity badge and easily concealed himself from the formation. Dark Crow can easily restrain his demonic energy, which is his racial talent.
He walked through the white city, feeling the fresh breath of human beings.
He returned to Old John's wizard tower and said excitedly.
"Let's begin... Dance of the Crows!"
Behind the dark crow, bird feathers flew out and turned into black shadows. The shadows sank into the earth, like black swimming fish, and dispersed in all directions with Old John's wizard tower as the center.
…
Inside the wizard tower.
In the laboratory, Levi was wearing a lab robe. He stood in front of a pile of experimental equipment with a cup of transparent medicine in his hand.
"The eighth experiment failed. There was no purification effect at all..."
Levi put down the medicine helplessly and left the laboratory.
“When in doubt, use experience.”
The research work on purification agents cannot be completed in a day or two.
This is the crystallization of the wisdom of the insect lamp master. Each material has its own particularity.
It is extremely difficult for Levi to find alternative materials.
But he would not give up. He did not believe that a purification potion could defeat him.
Levi collected some of the various potion materials that could be bought at the nearby wizard markets.
If it doesn’t work once, try experimenting a hundred or a thousand times, and you will always find a solution.
Levi came outside the tower and stretched. He planted some herbs around his wizard tower. These herbs were just for show and were worthless things.
A giant frost-white wolf appeared beside Levi and rubbed his head gently.
This giant wolf was none other than Aljeta.
Just yesterday, when the White Wolf Girl broke through the legend, something seemed to have happened to her that even Levi could not have imagined.
Aljeta transformed into a giant frost-white wolf, ten feet long. He showed a direct atavism phenomenon and looked like a mini version of the silver frost wolf.
This is quite different from Levi's previous legendary performance.
According to common sense, a legend is just the birth of a legendary organ, and it should not be a direct reversion to its ancestral form.
When Levi tested Aljeta's blood again, he made a surprising discovery: the blood of the Silver Frost Wolf in her body had increased significantly again.
Levi speculated that this might be some extremely special atavism phenomenon.
After a moment, the giant wolf transformed into a white wolf girl.
"It's really cool to transform into a giant wolf." Aljeta said happily.
"Don't be proud, keep working hard, this is just the beginning," Levi said.
The other three fur tribe members are also top-level knights, but they are still some distance away from breaking through to become legendary knights.
Even for the talented Fur Tribe, the threshold of becoming a Legendary Knight is still enough to block most people.
Aljeta is quite special. Levi suspects that this little girl is closely related to the White Wolf God believed in by the White Wolf Clan, that is, the Silver Frost Wolf.
"Aljeta, take care of the house. I'm going to the auction." Levi touched the white wolf girl's head and said.
"Okay, Master. Go ahead and do your best."
Levi quickly rushed to the Black Pearl Auction House.
The Black Pearl Auction House holds a large-scale auction every year, and there may be a lot of good things coming out.
Levi now lacks wizard knowledge and potion materials, so he wants to try his luck. It would be even better if he could pick up some Horcrux fragments.
A circle of wizards stood in front of a white circular building that looked like a Colosseum.
These wizards are all here to participate in the auction. Most of them are formal wizards. Wizard apprentices are not qualified to participate in auctions of this size.
Among them there are some second-ring, third-ring, and even fourth-ring wizards.
"Have you heard? In the past week, nearly twenty official wizards died in the market. It seems that there is a demon at work."
"Is it true? I haven't heard any news."
"Anyway, I'm planning to leave the Black Pearl Market for a while. I heard that the Thunder Dragon Family is recruiting official wizards, and the salary is very good. I plan to go for an interview."
"If you ask me, this wizarding world has already become a pot of muddy water. It's the same no matter where you go."
There were wizards standing there, casually chatting about some gossip, whether true or false.
Levi frowned when he heard this. He had been busy researching purification potions recently and had not paid much attention to the market.
His first reaction was that someone from the Leilong family was secretly doing something wrong.
Other wizards may not be familiar with this routine, but Levi, who has been in Rapids City, is most familiar with it.
This was also the case in Strom before the chaos.
First, demons wreaked havoc, wizards died mysteriously and disappeared, and then the Thunder Dragon family came in to clean up the mess.
"As soon as Soret left, there was a demonic incident at the wizard market. The Thunder Dragon Family is really not even pretending anymore. They are so fearless! This family may be colluding with demons and joining the Abyss camp. Is there no one to control it?"
There was an unspoken anger burning in Levi's heart, and he just wanted to find a place to practice in peace and quiet without being disturbed.
But the Thunder Dragon Family is like flies, flying around everywhere, ruining Rapid City, and now coming to District 5 to organize the Black Pearl Wizard Market.
"They really treat the Endless Sea as their own back garden. Who is the backer of the Thunder Dragon Family?" Levi pondered in his heart.
The Five Rings Wizard Family is indeed very powerful, but looking at the Endless Sea, there are dozens of high-level wizard organizations. The Five Rings can only be said to be in the upper middle and is far from being a top force.
Logically speaking, the Thunder Dragon Family wouldn't be so rampant.
"Forget it. The disputes among these big shots are not something I can decide. If this market is gone, I will just run away. Or I can just try that subspace node and see if I can get back to the human world through it."
Levi calmed down and waited for the auction to begin.
The two people were talking without using the voice transmitter, they were deliberately letting others hear them, there might be something fishy going on.
So whether this news is true or false remains to be verified.
The auction is divided into three sessions.
The first and second auctions are basically prepared for those first- and second-ring wizards.
Levi basically did not make any purchases, occasionally buying some potion materials and formulas that he did not have.
The box can block mental perception, so Levi is not worried about being targeted by others.
Finally, the auction for mid-level wizards like Levi began.
Although Levi didn't know how many three-ring wizards would participate in the auction, he thought it would not be too few.
The beautiful auctioneer witch took out the first item.
It was a three-ring magical device that looked like a compass.
"My dear wizards, this is the three-ring magic weapon, the platinum compass. It is a rare and top-grade defensive magic weapon that can generate a long-lasting and powerful three-ring defense field, enough to resist ordinary three-ring spell attacks for a period of time. In addition, this compass can also locate the direction and launch magnetic field attacks. The starting price is 20,000 Taishi, and each bid must not be less than 1,000 Taishi."
Levi noticed that after the auctioneer finished speaking, the wizards at the scene began to look excited.
Since he possesses the Scales of the Golden Snake and the Curtain of Mahakala, he has no need for defensive magical devices. But for other three-ring wizards, a platinum compass is equivalent to an extra layer of protective force field. For this reason alone, it is worth it.
Levi had not yet mastered the three-ring defensive force field, so his initial thought was to buy this magical weapon if he could get it at a low price.
However, not long after the bidding started, the price of this platinum compass exceeded Levi's psychological price.
There is no way. This platinum compass is different from ordinary defensive magical weapons. Other magical weapons are only short-term defensive spells, but the platinum compass is a persistent defensive force field.
Therefore, many three-ring and even four-ring wizards at the scene actually started bidding.
For some ordinary four-ring wizards, having an extra layer of three-ring protective force field is also a good choice.
In the end, this magical weapon was sold for 100,000 Taishi, which made Levi feel extremely crazy.
Afterwards, many magical weapons were auctioned one after another. There were some top-quality two-ring magical weapons, and three-ring ones, but no four-ring ones. Four-ring magical weapons were too rare, and they would not usually be sold in such an ordinary casual cultivator's market.
Levi didn't buy any of them, either they were useless to him or they were too expensive.
"The next collection is quite special. It is an ancient space ring that is no longer in print."
The auctioneer smiled and held a plate with a pitch-black ring on it.
"What's so good about the space ring?"
"that is."
There were wizards in the audience cheering, saying that in this era, space ring technology is much more advanced than before.
Storage space is getting bigger and bigger, and the value is very cheap. Even low-level wizards generally don’t need to worry about storage problems.
"Everyone, listen to me. Since we are auctioning it, it must be special. This ancient space ring is called the Snake Eye Magic Ring. The storage space inside is not large, but on this Snake Eye Magic Ring, there is a lost magic spell, the Snake Eye Spell.
This Snake Eyes spell is an extremely special petrification spell. It can ignore the mental strength judgment and realm, allowing you to launch a petrification attack on the enemy with a constant 1% success rate.
Wizards, if you think you are lucky, or like to collect these ancient out-of-print wizard tools, you might as well take a picture of them. Even if you use them as a storage ring, they are very good.
Of course, we must mention some precautions up front. Through our tests, we found that the Snake Eyes Technique has a seven-day cooldown period each time it is cast. Apart from that, we have no way of testing whether it is useful for high-level wizards.
Snake Eyes Ring, starting price is 10,000 Taishi, each bid increase must not be less than 100. "
After the auctioneer finished speaking, the audience became lively.
"One percent? In actual combat, this probability is basically equal to zero. This kind of magic weapon is purely misleading."
"I think it's a good idea to collect it."
Apart from a few scattered offers, no one bid for the ring, just as Levi had expected.
He made the final decision and bought the Snake Eye Ring for 15,000 Taishi.
For no other reason, it was simply because he discovered that the casting style and design of the Snake Eye Ring were almost exactly the same as a space ring Levi already had.
That’s right, it’s the [Trembling Ring], which comes with a 1% chance of paralysis.
"Could it be that this kind of crappy ring is actually a series of sets? If I collect ten rings of this type, will there be any special effects?" After Levi got the Snake Eye Ring, he kept playing with it in the palm of his hand.
It is obvious that the Shiver Ring and the Snake-Eye Ring were made by the same weapon maker.
"interesting."
Levi put the Snake Eyes Ring on his finger.
"Wind Ring, Shiver Ring, Snake Eyes Ring, Giant Squid Ring, Alice Ring, and now I am the Knight of the Five Rings."
Of course, among the Five Rings, the Wind Spirit and Giant Squid are just rings to make up the number. Levi has never changed them because he is used to them and the storage space is enough.
In the following auctions, there was basically nothing that Levi was interested in.
There is no such thing as extraordinary creatures.
Finally, Levi bought a few more spells to enrich his spell library. Once he had enough spells, he would start creating his own third-ring spells.
After the auction ended, Levi quickly left the auction to prevent anyone from following him.
Because of the no-fly array, low-level wizards shuttled through the streets under the awe-inspiring gazes of mortals, and only some mid-level wizards, such as Levi, flew through the air.
A small town slum where ordinary people live.
Densely packed houses are scattered among them.
A shabby little house.
A corpse was lying in a pool of blood. The corpse looked human-shaped, with densely packed black feathers extending from its nostrils, mouth, ears and other parts.
A figure suddenly appeared, he was wearing the uniform of a market law enforcer.
"Another way of dying... Damn, what kind of demon is this?" Wizard Spyro's face was gloomy.
Among the four Black Pearl wizards under Garcia, Sparrow is responsible for maintaining order in the market. He is also the strongest among them. He has mastered four innate spells, two three-ring and two four-ring, and is already considered a senior four-ring wizard.
But as powerful as he was, he personally went into the scene and searched for several days, but he still couldn't catch the mastermind behind all this. He could only conclude, based on the evil aura emanating from the deceased, that he died at the hands of the devil.
Spyro collected the bodies and placed them in the storage space.
There were already hundreds of such corpses piled up inside, both mortals and wizards.
He wanted to send these corpses to scholars who specialized in studying the abyss and demons, so that they could see what kind of demon was causing the trouble and could prescribe the right remedy.
"He can only hide and dodge, which means his strength is not higher than Lord Garcia and me. He can kill low-level wizards so quietly, so he is probably at the third ring or above. Someone in the market is possessed by a demon..."
Spyro calmed down and analyzed internally.
Nowadays, the entrances and exits of the market have long been closed.
Only entry is allowed, no exit is allowed.
Spyro wants to check all the wizards in the market, especially those three-ring wizards, who are most likely to be possessed by demons.
"If Lord Garcia hadn't gone to the Starry Sea these days, this demon wouldn't have been so arrogant."
…
The white town on Black Pearl Island.
In recent days, haze has shrouded the entire city.
During this period, a large number of people disappeared or died every day.
The law enforcers at the market have yet to catch the murderer, nor have they come forward to offer an explanation.
Many people are dissatisfied with the market. At the same time, some people have heard that the Thunder Dragon Family wants to acquire the market, recruit more wizards, and make the market bigger and stronger.
Therefore, many mortals and wizards secretly hoped that the Black Pearl Wizard Market could be brought under the control of the Thunder Dragon Family. With the protection of the Thunder Dragon Family, their future days would be better.
The Four Black Pearl Wizards did not respond to these rumors.
At the exit of the magic circle, the two groups of wizards were on the verge of a fight, their mental powers were straining against each other, and they were just short of using spells to attack each other.
"Why don't you let us go out? This is a market, we can come and go as we please!" a three-ring wizard questioned.
"I've said it before. We suspect a demon has appeared in the city, and it may have possessed one of you. We won't let you leave until the murderer is found," said the law enforcer.
"I see you don't want to investigate this matter thoroughly, you want us to be buried with this market, right?"
"If you want to leave, you can. Let go of your guard and force field shielding, and let me use my mental power to sense your internal conditions. Then open all your storage bags and hand over your magic weapons. If you are not possessed by a demon, you can leave naturally."
"Are you crazy? Every wizard's body and storage items are sacred and inviolable privacy. If you dare to explore our privacy, we have the right to fight back in self-defense according to the law."
"If there is no evil in your body, why are you afraid of us investigating? Is there something wrong?"
Such quarrels have been going on continuously between the market residents and managers in the past few days.
In an ordinary mansion in the city, senior wizard apprentice Anna exchanged the Taishi that she had worked hard to save over the years for a potion called [Water of Kosu] that could be used to break through the first level.
She carefully opened the Water of Kosu.
"You must become a formal wizard, Anna. Mom is watching you in heaven." Anna encouraged herself in her heart.
Compared to those chosen ones, Anna's situation is actually the current situation of most ordinary wizard apprentices in the wizarding world.
For them, being able to become an official wizard is already a matter of honor for the family.
After drinking the Water of Kosu, Anna immediately entered a state of meditation. Sweat beads appeared on her forehead and her body was shaking constantly.
After an unknown amount of time, Anna opened her eyes and felt that her mental strength was much stronger than before.
"Hahaha, I'm an official wizard." Anna, who only has the talent of Son of Chaos, muttered to herself excitedly.
The next moment, a feather-like black shadow suddenly appeared on the wall behind Anna.
Above the feather, a pale and terrifying eye opened, revealing a cruel smile.
Not long after, a corpse appeared in the mansion, and black feathers grew on the surface of the corpse.
…
"Weak human, I am just an incarnation, and yet I am enough to make these wizards panic like this, tut tut tut."
Inside the wizard tower.
"Old John" stood up, and as he stood up, behind him, black shadows gathered from all directions and formed a group of black shadow soldiers covered with black feathers. In one of the black shadow soldiers, the face of the witch Anna could be vaguely seen.
This is also the terrifying ability of the Dark Crow.
Demon Shadow Guard!
Behind him, hundreds of Demon Shadow Guards crowded together. These were low-level wizards and mortals killed by the Dark Raven during this period. These Demon Shadow Guards were of average strength, but they were perfect for creating chaos.
"This incarnation will only last for one day. From now on, let this city panic and boil over me!"
Countless black shadows followed behind "Old John" and rose into the sky.
The wizard tower collapsed with a loud bang.
Then, these black shadows rushed in all directions, and the final killing began!
The changes on Old John's side immediately attracted the attention of the fourth-ring wizard Spyro.
His face changed, and he felt the terrifying demonic energy suddenly erupting in the market, wreaking havoc in the city!
"Go to the three-ring wizard tower area!"
Spyro immediately gave the order, and his wizards quickly flew off.
Halfway up the mountain, a wizard emitting dark demonic energy was seen laughing wildly.
It was the seventh familiar, Dark Crow.
"Old John...it's actually him. He is possessed by a demon."
"Activate the formation and trap the demon!" said Spyro.
How could Dark Crow just sit there and wait for death? Before the formation was activated, he turned into a flash of black light and disappeared on the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of a second-ring wizard.
Before this second-ring wizard could figure out the situation, he was torn into pieces by the Dark Raven's claws and turned into blood mist in mid-air.
At this moment, countless streams of water rushed up into the sky and condensed into a long chain.
The chains instantly bound the Dark Crow and wrapped it tightly.
Spyro came from afar, this was his fourth-ring innate spell, Flowing Water Lock.
"Big formation!"
This time, trapped by Sparrow's spell, the other wizards who set up the formation finally had an opportunity.
The magic circle designed to trap the enemy shone brightly into the sky, completely encircling the Dark Crow.
Black light exploded, and countless black feathers shot out, tearing the flowing water chains into pieces.
The next moment, countless magical lights submerged the Dark Crow.
A water drop-shaped object appeared in front of Spyro.
Fourth-ring talent spell: Water Explosion!
The water droplets quickly fell above the Dark Crow and exploded with a loud bang.
The shock wave swept through, catching the Dark Crow off guard.
He was about to use more powerful strength, but found that Old John's body had already been broken into pieces and could no longer bear it.
"This human body is so weak! I haven't even used my true ability yet, and this body can't bear it. I can't bear to disappear like this." Dark Crow's mind turned rapidly.
He suddenly summoned all the Demon Shadow Guards together, and they turned into a pile of black balls like balls of wool. Countless twisted souls were wailing in them, and resentment was rising to the sky, distorting the void.
"Demon Shadow Explosion!"
boom!
The combined power of the self-destruction of hundreds of Shadow Guards directly tore apart the magic circle that trapped the Dark Crow. Spyro's face changed drastically, and he quickly disappeared from the spot using the escape technique, away from the explosion.
"I'll play with you guys again when I find a stronger body."
Dark Crow sneered. He remembered the body-refining wizard in Old John's mind. That body-refining wizard had shown off one or two of his skills in a battle against the invasion of dark wizards, which left a deep impression on Old John.
Dark Crow knew that with his current body, he would definitely not be a match for the four-ring wizard, but if he could occupy the body of the body-refining wizard, he should be able to fight him.
"Chase him, don't let him possess you again!" Spyro instantly understood what the Raven wanted to do. At the same time, Varian, one of the Four Black Pearl Wizards, also came to the rescue.
"I'll help you!" said Valier.
"This demon has strange abilities, be careful when dealing with it," Spyro warned.
"I remember the direction he went. It was the wizard tower of a three-ring pharmacist and a body-refining wizard. I think his name was Levi..."
"Hurry up, or the pharmacist will be in danger. Even a third-ring body-refining wizard won't be able to hold out for long under the demon's attack."
Spyro and Varian were chasing after him, but the Dark Raven had already arrived above the wizard tower that was his target.
He flapped his wings, and a terrifying hurricane swept across the wizard tower. In the blink of an eye, the wizard tower and the magic circle outside were uprooted.
But in the wizard tower, it was empty, without a single person.
"Damn it! Where did this body-refining wizard go?" Dark Crow wondered.
Suddenly, Dark Crow looked up at the sky above his head and found that there was a tear in the translucent magic circle, which was slowly healing.
He understood instantly that the body-refining wizard might have anticipated the danger long ago, and actually destroyed a point of the magic circle on his own and left.
He quickly chased out before the gap healed.
I saw a vague figure running away in the distance.
If it’s not Levi, then who is it?
The moment the Dark Crow became hostile to him, Levi sensed something was wrong through his spider sense.
He used the golden power to spin and took advantage of the chaos to drill a small hole in the four-ring magic circle, then turned into a blood mist and escaped.
Although he didn't know how strong Dark Crow was, judging from the hairs standing on end due to his Spider-Sense, he was definitely at the fourth ring level!
Levi naturally wanted to escape.
He originally wanted to rely on the Hermit Rune to escape, but his current realm was too low and his mental strength was far inferior to that of the Dark Crow, so he had no way of being completely invisible. As soon as the Dark Crow appeared, it discovered Levi in the distance.
He quickly chased after him, trying to possess Levi.
One runs, the other chases.
And behind the Dark Raven, there were two four-ring wizards following closely.
"That body-refining wizard actually tore a corner of the formation. Even for me, it was difficult to tear open a corner. How did he do it?" Spyro was shocked.
"Don't run, the devil can't hurt you with us here!" Valier shouted from behind.
Levi's escape speed cannot be compared with that of the Dark Crow at all.
It wasn't long before he was caught up, and the protective force field around Levi began to flicker and light up.
The Dark Crow sneered and turned into a black arrow, piercing through Levi's layers of force fields. With a bang, it hit Levi's golden scales and was about to penetrate the golden scales and enter Levi's body.
Levi subconsciously exploded into a bloody mist.
However, the next moment, an endless tide of mental power surged from all directions, squeezing the blood mist that Levi had transformed into. Levi, who was in the blood mist state, was actually forced to reveal his true form!
"It's just a trifle. It's your honor to be possessed by me!" Dark Crow sneered and continued to exert force, tearing apart Levi's golden scales that protected his body.
His mental power entered Levi's mind, and was about to destroy Levi's ocean of consciousness just like he did to Old John.
But he discovered that a three-story white tower, emitting a holy light, was firmly protecting Levi's ocean of consciousness.
"Holy Tower? You actually have this thing?" Dark Crow exclaimed.
Sensing the invasion of enemy spiritual power, the Holy Tower began to automatically protect its master. It spun rapidly, emitting a powerful suction force.
Part of Dark Crow's spiritual body began to be shattered and sucked away by the Holy Tower.
"No, I must find a way to break free!" At this moment, Dark Crow, who had entered Levi's ocean of consciousness, panicked.
He was also decisive and resolute, and he directly cut off most of his mental power, and then broke free from the restraints of the Holy Tower.
The spiritual power of Dark Crow was ground down by the Holy Tower, which became much more condensed than before.
Not only that, Levi felt that the circle of gaseous spiritual power surrounding the holy tower seemed to be getting a little bit stronger.
Although he didn't test it, he could feel that his mental strength had definitely increased by 1 to 2 points just now.
Of course, Levi didn’t have time to think about these things now. He felt more angry and aggrieved in his heart.
He really didn't understand why everyone couldn't practice quietly like him?
Why do we have to fight all day long?
Why did this damn demon want to cross the sea of people to possess me?
You only pick the softest persimmons, right?
Just because I'm a low-key person, everyone wants to come up and bite me, right?
I’m tired of saying “Don’t push me”!
Furious, the blood of the Red Emperor Dragon began to flow from Levi's heart and around his body.
Levi stopped running, he stopped.
He lowered his head, silent anger burning!
70%, 80%, 90%…100%.
The moment Levi's anger reached 100%.
His eyes turned red, reflecting a red world filled with magma and fire.
In the center of this world, a giant red dragon hovering in the sky opened its cold and deep golden dragon eyes and let out a dragon roar.
The golden scales were stacked up madly, layer after layer. In the state of Angry Dragon Lord, all of Levi's attributes began to skyrocket!
The two-meter-tall normalized fire dragon's true form is completely different from usual at this moment. Tissue like deer antlers grows on Levi's head, and a thick and powerful dragon tail drags behind it.
Since awakening his true form as a fire dragon, Levi has never used the form of the Angry Dragon Lord.
At this moment, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He raised his head, feeling the energy surging in his body like a tide, feeling the indescribable sense of power.
"So, this is the real power."
Levi grinned, he raised his head and looked at the Dark Crow, he could vaguely see the bloody face of old John.
Old John is a nice guy. Although we don’t get to know each other much, he’s capable and down-to-earth.
boom!
Levi suddenly disappeared from the spot. Because his speed was so fast, it seemed that there was a flaming shadow at the spot.
Bang.
Levi's dragon claws grabbed the Dark Crow's wings that were like steel feathers protecting its body.
The sound of metal clashing and sparks flying.
This attack caused Dark Crow to retreat hundreds of meters.
"This is not the power that a three-ring body-refining wizard should have... Is this a four-ring?" Dark Crow was shocked.
Levi attacked again, like an angry bull.
The Dark Crow was originally a demon. Although the body of Old John that he possessed was too weak, he was not too afraid because of his innate abilities and demonic energy.
What he was more afraid of were the two four-ring wizards chasing after him.
Valier and Spyro were about to go forward to help Levi.
"Get out of here." Levi's voice swept across.
These two high-ranking four-ring wizards stopped at the same time, with surprise and disbelief on their faces.
"Uh, is he going to take on a level 4 demon all by himself..." Valir frowned.
"I think that's the case." Sparrow smiled bitterly. This was the first time he was bullied by a three-ring wizard since he became a four-ring wizard.
"Then let's wait and see what happens. This is a good opportunity for him to test the power of this demon, and then we will take action in the end."
"Alas, his character is worthy of being a body-refining wizard."
"No, he should be a dragonborn body-refining wizard... With the physical fitness of a dragonborn and his powerful body-refining techniques, it's no wonder that he can withstand the attack of a fourth-level demon at the level of a third-ring wizard."
"But his explosive state won't last long. It's just a short fight against a level 4 demon. It's basically impossible to defeat him completely."
…
When in the state of Angry Dragon Lord, Levi would say some cruel words that he would never say under normal circumstances given his personality.
This feeling of losing reason is very bad, which is why Levi is unwilling to use this state.
boom!
The red figure and the black figure collided and clashed in the sky. The red flames and demonic energy seemed to turn the sky into two different worlds.
Levi held Frostmourne in his hand, and with the blessing of fire, Frostmourne seemed to turn into Surtur's flaming sword that destroyed Asgard!
Every strike of the sword is a blazing fire, and every strike of the sword is a critical hit!
After all, Dark Crow is a level 4 demon, and the incarnation of a level 6 demon. Although due to the limitations of the body he possesses, he is unable to exert his full strength.
But apart from being suppressed by Levi in the early stage, he soon gained the upper hand.
Countless black feathers fell from the sky and gathered in Dark Crow's hand to form a ten-foot-long black feather giant sword!
The giant sword slashed down from top to bottom, cutting through the clouds and breaking the blue sky!
boom!
Levi blocked with Frostmourne.
Click.
His pure golden sword was actually cut off!
The giant sword continued to chop down, Levi blocked it with his arms, and his whole body was blasted into the ground, creating a big hole in the ground.
The smoke and dust cleared, and Levi, with a broken arm, roared loudly. The ashes of dead embers wrapped around his body, and the remaining embers kept burning.
He rushed up into the sky, his arms having recovered.
"What kind of monster physique?" Even the demon Crow was stunned.
This was beyond his understanding of body-refining wizards.
Logically speaking, among the wizard group, the strength of the body-refining wizard can only be considered average.
What's more, the opponent is only a three-ring wizard, while he is a fourth-level demon.
"die!"
Dark Crow completely gave up on Old John's body. He only had five minutes left. His dignity as a superior demon required him to kill Levi before he dissipated!
The pillar of violent demonic energy reached from heaven to earth, reaching hundreds of feet high.
"The true form of the Crow Demon!"
The feminine and handsome young man instantly transformed into a crow demon that was five meters tall and had wings that were ten meters high!
"Being able to use my true body with three rings is interesting. Very interesting. Hahahaha!"
The black wings spun like a black whirlwind sweeping across the sky and earth, and endless feather blades burst out.
Levi roared, his body grew taller in the wind, and countless energies surged out in an instant like a whale swallowing the sea.
The ultimate strength!
Dragon Warrior!
The giant dragon warrior, who was also five meters tall, swung his thick tail directly.
boom!
Two terrifying giants collided in the sky, and the shock wave blew away all the clouds within a radius of several kilometers, revealing the azure blue sky!
"This... why does it feel like there's no need for us to take action? He should be a fourth-ring body-refining wizard, but his mental training hasn't kept up." Spyro was a little shocked.
"But don't body-refining wizards also rely on mental power to practice body-refining spells?"
"That should be because of the dragonborn. This dragonborn wizard may have some kind of pure-blooded dragon bloodline."
While the two Fourth Rings were watching the show.
In the sky, Levi looked at the Dark Crow's true form whose figure gradually faded.
"Don't run!" Levi was furious.
Horrible flames emerged and engulfed the real body.
"Human, when the drum of bloody battle between the Abyss and the wizards starts beating again, I, the Dark Crow, will come back!"
The unwilling voice of Dark Crow came.
The power of his incarnation had been completely exhausted and dissipated without a trace.
at the same time.
In the Thunder Dragon family.
Soret was resting at the moment. Suddenly, Victor's voice came from his mind: "The incarnation of the Dark Crow is dead."
"It doesn't matter. I think my goal has been achieved." Soret opened his eyes, and the light of thunder flashed, exploding the void in front of him.
