Volume One, Dawn, Chapter 30: Original Sin and Redemption
Along the way, Elos killed countless giant lobsters and several groups of extremely evil vile-eating insects that couldn't open their eyes. Oh, by the way, they really didn't have eyes.
However, what Elos is puzzled about is that no powerful creatures have been found in this swamp so far, so why do the monsters in the forest stay away from this land.
Soon, all this came to fruition.
Suddenly, a qi machine locked onto Ilosu, surprising him.
Illosi's ability to hide his aura is now very strong. Ordinary enemies cannot detect him from a long distance without using special means, and his extraordinary perception can also preemptively strike at an ultra-long range, thereby gaining the upper hand.
At this moment, a powerful enemy must be targeting him, but he didn't even realize where the enemy was.
Fortunately, this enemy gave him the feeling that although it was very strong, it was not that dangerous, so Ilosu simply stopped hiding his aura and planned to strike back.
There was a terrifying fluctuation in the air in the south, and in the vision of extraordinary perception, a huge thing flew towards me at an extremely fast speed. It was a giant dragon.
Unlike wyverns, which are low-intelligence sub-dragons, giant dragons possess higher intelligence and longer lifespan than humans. They are naturally extraordinary creatures and the darlings of the Creator.
Any kind of giant dragon has the strength of the holy realm when it reaches adulthood, and the powerful dragon is a legendary level existence.
In short, the dragon is too powerful. There are only a handful of dragon-slaying heroes in the world, and most of them slay sub-dragon creatures such as bipedal flying dragons.
As for the shortcomings, it is that the dragon's reproductive capacity is low, and its infancy lasts for hundreds of years. This period is the most dangerous period for the dragon clan.
After all, there is no perfect species in the world.
Powerful individuals either have major flaws or have poor reproductive capabilities. Dragons and high elves are typical examples.
On the contrary, it was relatively weak humans, orcs, and dwarves, races with extremely strong reproductive capabilities, as well as creativity and learning abilities, that were able to spread out on the continent of Toril and build their own empires.
The giant dragon flying towards Elos at a rapid speed was about 50 meters long. Its body was in tatters and covered with rotten flesh. Its wings were even damaged with several huge holes, and it could not feel the breath of life.
It turns out to be a corrupt undead dragon. No wonder it can sense the breath of strangers from such a long distance.
Illos immediately used the ability of the Holy Domain - levitate, to avoid the undead dragon's attack.
I saw that the location where the undead dragon attacked turned into a deep pit with a diameter of tens of meters, and caused water splashes all over the sky.
Judging from the appearance, this undead dragon may have been a noble blue dragon that was good at magic. It died for unknown reasons and was then resurrected into an undead dragon by necromancy.
The undead dragon standing in the huge pit breathed death full of undead energy toward Iloth.
You must know that the blue dragon is the dragon with the highest magical attainments among the dragon clan. The breath of an adult blue dragon is the purest breath composed of magical energy, which is far from comparable to the breath of the dead in front of you.
Elos estimated that this undead dragon might not even have one-third of its strength in life.
No matter how threatening it is, it is relative. If you don't hide from this dragon's breath, you may die on the spot.
He quickly fell towards the undead dragon below, just in time to avoid the wave of dragon breath, and the broken star drew a beautiful arc and chopped towards the head of the undead dragon.
"Danglang"
With a muffled sound, Broken Star struck at the bone armor made of white bones that appeared out of thin air, smashing the bone armor into pieces and splashing debris all over the sky.
This is the Bone Armor Technique, a natural talent spell that comes with high-level undead creatures after being transformed. It seems that the undead dragon in front of you has retained some wisdom.
"This is going to be a bit troublesome!" Elos thought in his mind.
The undead dragon raised its front paws and slashed Ilosu away. Fortunately, Ilosu was ready to defend before the attack hit him, and most of the force was skillfully released.
Before it could land, the second wave of Dragon Breath came towards Elos. It seemed that this dragon had retained its fighting instincts and knew not to give the enemy a chance to breathe.
Yiluosi's fighting spirit exploded instantly, and a silver moon appeared behind him, offsetting the wave of dragon breath.
Then he jumped towards the undead dragon's head at high speed and thrust his sword into its head.
The undead dragon just shook its head and shook Iloth away. It was already dead, and the brain and flesh in its head were all rotted away. This blow had no effect.
The most effective way to deal with the undead is to use holy light to purify it. Even if you break the skeleton, it will have the same effect. However, the undead dragon in front of you is too big and it is impossible to break it all.
After trying the attack several times without achieving any results, Elos activated the Insight Weakness. In the field of vision, the undead dragon's chest flashed with undead fire, which was the soul of the undead dragon.
Dealing with such large undead creatures is really not the melee profession's specialty, and Elos has no ability to harm the soul.
This undead dragon became more manic under Elos's repeated attacks, and its emotions became more violent. The dragon's breath came one after another, and the undead spells were released for free.
Just after escaping from the dragon's breath, another storm of bone spurs struck. This indiscriminate and frantic casting of spells was very troublesome. In order to save his energy to face the possible subsequent crisis, Eloise did not choose to resist forcefully, but
He uses his speed advantage to repeatedly jump horizontally and walk on the tip of the knife.
Iloth swam away to avoid it while thinking about ways to deal with this undead dragon.
Suddenly, an inspiration came to me.
I have the blood of the Devil King, and this power is not inferior to the divine power. Doesn’t he have the ability to destroy the soul?
He immediately activated his true name's ability.
The moment he activated his true name ability, the silver fighting energy on Elos' body instantly changed from silver to translucent black.
After entering the holy realm, he can change the shape of his fighting spirit. One of the abilities given to him by his true name is to change the nature of his fighting spirit.
It seems that there is still huge room for improvement in the abilities of True Name and Bloodline in the future. Since awakening and entering the Holy Realm, the abilities brought by True Name and Bloodline have not yet been fully explored and need to be developed bit by bit in further battles.
After dodging the dragon's breath and undead fire again, Iloth got close to the belly of the undead dragon.
It struck him on the head with another cleave, and this time, Elos did not dodge.
The light black fighting spirit flames wrapped around Broken Star and cut open the undead dragon's huge bone claws. The black flames spread immediately, and in a moment, the entire claws and arms were ignited with black fire.
The undead dragon seemed to have been severely injured. It roared in silent pain. A roar of dragons erupted in all directions along with the mental impact. Elos's spiritual world also received a violent impact, giving him a splitting headache.
This move was effective. Iloth endured the dragon's howl released by the undead dragon in pain, raised his sword and stabbed the broken star into the undead dragon's chest.
The body of the undead dragon, which was wailing silently, stopped shaking for a moment. The bones in its body shattered into pieces and fell to the ground. In a moment, the undead dragon disintegrated and turned into powder.
At this time, a huge light blue dragon figure floated up from the pile of skeletons. It was the soul of the blue dragon when the undead dragon was alive. Since it was resurrected as an undead, its soul has been trapped in the undead body and will never be freed.
The soul of the blue dragon lowered its head slightly in the air, expressed its gratitude to Elos, then plunged into his chest, and then disappeared.
There was a satisfying feeling of pleasure all over my body.
This frightened Elos. He checked his whole body and internal organs, and found that there was no problem, so he could only relax temporarily.
It's just that I can clearly feel that the power of my true name and bloodline has increased a lot.
Iroth's real name is Azazel.
Azazel is the devil king who symbolizes original sin and redemption in purgatory.
Iloth can use the ability of original sin to destroy the soul, and can also use the ability of redemption to transcend the soul, thereby increasing strength.
It's ironic that a devil king actually has the ability to redeem himself.
