As far as the eye can see, there are only shadows of darkness.
Among the endless shadows, various concepts are revealed. The purest and most powerful among them is the main component of this space, the concept of shadow!
Adhering to the most cautious attitude, Isaac did not even raise his eyes. After all, he had learned the lesson of looking directly at the "Snake of the Universe".
I just lowered my gaze, observing and experiencing this place with a little bit of peripheral vision.
This seems... not the Kingdom of God?
While he was observing, something suddenly moved in his heart.
Normally, there should be petitioners for annexation in all the kingdoms of gods, but in this space, although there is the projection of the tide of faith, there are no petitioners.
On the side of the Great Snake, he has not thought of this. After all, that person has long been lost. Even the one who once had the petition should have disappeared long ago.
But at this moment...
"If it weren't for the Kingdom of God..."
Unconsciously, his heart moved, and his eyes, which had always been lowered, finally lifted up little by little. At the same time, his spiritual consciousness was ready to be cut off at any time.
There are shadows everywhere, everything is a shadow.
And in the center of all shadows, the ultimate direction of all tides of faith, as you raise your eyes, a huge figure whose outline is not clear, seems to be completely integrated with everything here, and is completely made up of shadows, finally...
It started to enter his field of vision.
When this figure came into view, everything turned completely dark.
The concept of shadow actually spread in the opposite direction along his gaze, tracing to his consciousness, eroding his thoughts, and continuing to extend towards the port...
In all this, it was clear that the shadow giant did not make any movements, nor did he see his eyes opening. Isaac had not been eroded by the shadows, and still had a consciousness blessed by the flow of thoughts, but he suddenly felt that the whole
space, including the shadow giant, his consciousness seemed to be shrouded in a gaze from all directions.
Time, space, everything seems to be frozen at this moment!
Even with the blessing of the flow of thoughts, his consciousness seemed to be drowned in the mud, and even the movement of his thoughts was rolling over and over again.
Click!
Outside the port, the main consciousness suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Without hesitation, Isaac's soul frequency changed and the port was instantly cut off.
The crown turned into a green bracelet is ready to inspire at any time, and the spiritual consciousness blessed by the flow of thoughts pays more careful attention to everything around it.
For a while, nothing changed. Then slowly, he let out a breath.
There was another strange look in his eyes.
"Sure enough, it still doesn't work!"
"Although the gods are not omniscient and omnipotent, the level of concepts is completely superior to thoughts. It is indeed difficult to hide from them!"
"Especially, which place is...in His body? Or should I say, inside?"
After all, that's where the tide of belief transforms into the power of concepts!
And if this is the case, then his exposure would be normal.
His eyes were not only slightly wrinkled.
Regardless of whether the speculation is correct or not, at least he has been hiding as much as possible.
But even so, he still couldn't hide it from the shadow giant!
Shadow giants are like this, then...
He has been exposed to a lot of concepts and has a rough grasp of the degree of relevance.
The concepts controlled by the Shadow Giant are several levels behind the Great Dragon Queen!
Even if he can't hide it from him, how can he do things under the eyes of the Dragon Queen?
"For the time being, we can only feed the Great Snake. Although this one is restricted, he cannot provoke him wantonly. It is better to be cautious. After some time, he has new progress, and then try again."
"As for the Dragon Queen..."
A paw pressed against his forehead, and his eyes furrowed deeper.
On the Dragon Queen's side, he has always had two directions.
One is to directly enter the interior of the concept origin controlled by the Dragon Queen through the Green Dragon Crown or through the channel of faith to explore. However, this, at least for now, can only be briefly sensed with a few tentacles of pure consciousness, and it is absolutely impossible.
Riding the tide of thought, open your mind's eyes to see.
The other is the essence of the true name!
The legend of the dragon clan and the origin of the dragons are derived from the creation of the Father of Dragons. Normal thinking, the real name behind it should also be related to the Father of Dragons.
However, after several inheritances, he has a feeling that at least in the five-color dragon and the green dragon's true name inheritance, the great dragon queen definitely has some authority!
Coupled with the analysis of the essence of the green dragon's crown's ability to "change form," he just thought of using the power of the crown's concept to bypass the restrictions of his real name and explore deeper powers.
But now this situation...
"The Green Dragon Crown is my biggest trump card now. I can't touch the Dragon Queen's taboo at will until I have more trump cards."
"At least we have to deal with Dundrum first, get the golden scroll, upgrade the mage level to the second level, and master the sixth-level spells such as 'Anti-Magic Field' and 'Shadow Movement'."
There are many sixth-level spells that are more practical and more powerful.
Such as "Advanced Dispel Magic", "Spell Invalidation Barrier", "Dissociation", "Alien Binding", "Trigger", "Awaken the Undead", "Petrification", and "Serial Lightning"
, many energy-shaping spells, including "Ice Sphere", are both powerful and practical.
However, among Isaac's collection, the ones that he values the most are the "Anti-Magic Field" and the "Shadow Walking Technique".
Needless to say about the anti-magic field, the dragon that has mastered this spell is simply the natural enemy of the caster. Whether it is a mage, a priest, or all magical creatures, even the dragon's breath is restrained to death.
Except for a very few abilities, such as God's Chosen, legendary spells, and sacred weapons, among all spells, there are only a few force field spells that can work within the scope of the anti-magic field and can play some roles.
Defense effect.
It can be said that the effect of the anti-magic field is definitely on the top priority list for Isaac, even if it is placed among level 7, 8, or even level 9 spells.
As for the shadow-walking technique...
Shadow walking is also a kind of shadow spell, which allows the caster, and some companions, to directly enter the shadow plane, and can also step out at any time.
As for the particularity of the shadow plane, this spell has good effects whether it is used for running away or on the road.
However, what attracted Isaac's attention more was not this.
It is said that the Shadow Plane also has boundaries with other material worlds, so if the corresponding junction can be found, Shadow Walking is also a way to travel through the planes.
However, the danger in the shadow plane is extremely high. To find such a junction, the area that has to be traversed is quite large. It is difficult for anyone to know for sure what we will encounter.
The most important of these two spells is the "anti-magic field". If mastered, it will be a very powerful trump card. Only then will he have some confidence to test the green dragon's crown at the risk of being taken back by the dragon queen.
True name, go test destiny!
"So, for the time being, in addition to continuing to cultivate the great snake, I can only focus on the essence of magic. At most, I can also take care of the research on trolls and blood-sucking leeches."
"On the contrary, a secret involving the gods needs more attention. It's time for Miranda to give her some support!"
"Use the knowledge gained from the great snake's womb, compare it with the concept of the green dragon in the crown, and then analyze the authenticity of the secrets of the gods..."
"Be fully prepared and try your best to find out the direction of the road to destiny. After all, the Great Dragon Queen may only have one chance to try!"
As his thoughts flowed, Isaac slowly closed his eyes, and soon transferred his frustration from the shadow giant to the great snake.
"Thoughts and beliefs are the essence of transformation into concepts!"
"Merely profound is not enough to describe it."
"Is it a doctrine? Is it recognition?"
"Recognition should be a little close, so that you can gain faith."
"But just having faith does not mean that gods will be born!"
"So, there is a deeper level..."
"The great snake...the origin of the snake...the pulse of the world..."
"Five-color evil dragon, green dragon concept..."
"And the shadow power of the shadow giant..."
With a variety of concepts that he has come into contact with, combined with speculations and theories, countless spiritual perceptions are constantly being born and shining in the green dragon's spiritual consciousness.
Eventually, these all turned into accumulation and added to his knowledge reserve.
It's daytime.
Late at night, it was time for him to devote himself to studying the nature of magic.
The fusion of the mind's eye and the tide of thought, the essence of magic is in his eyes, and the mysterious aura is fading layer by layer.
Although he still has not reached the level of brand port, direct observation and analysis are no longer limited to the path of "preparing spells, observing the corresponding changes in the essence of magic through spell slots, and then thoroughly understanding the spells"
.
His eyes have directly observed the inside of the essence of magic, trying to directly analyze its secrets and directly discover spells that are not on his list.
This is a symbol that he has reached a certain level of understanding and mastery of the essence of magic, those runes and inscriptions, and those magical words.
Not only that, sometimes, he would even tentatively, with the support of the flow of thoughts, use his spiritual claws to touch the surface, and then touch the inner layer...
The progress of all this, the mastery of all this, ultimately filled up his mage accumulation with huge and endless feedback!
…
A world of endless darkness.
A huge basin transformed by shadow.
Inside a dark temple.
Countless shadow creatures are squirming in the darkness, exuding dangerous and strange auras, but here, they appear extremely quiet.
Even inside the temple, when some black-robed mages passed by, they would reach out with some tentacles and touch them lightly, as if conveying some message.
Some powerful black-robed mages will take some of them away casually.
Right at the very core of this temple.
The outline cannot be seen clearly, but it is extremely huge, even larger than the entire temple, and even larger than the entire basin. The shadow is sleeping in a hall of the temple in an extremely strange way. It is not crowded at all.
The rules of space seem to have completely failed at this moment.
Ben was sleeping, and suddenly, a huge eye opened on his forehead.
"blasphemer?"
"Or...bait?"
A little alertness appeared in his eyes.
Over the years, there has always been a premonition of danger with unknown origin, which made him shrink here as much as possible, not even wanting to take back the essence he had lost under McCullough.
Now, something else has sneaked into His essence directly through the path of faith...
Is this really a blasphemy?
Faintly, he had a feeling that something was not right!
"If someone is really scheming, they can hide it from my premonition..."
There was deep alertness in his eyes.
Those who would plot against Him should most likely only be a limited number of three or four people!
All of these must be carefully guarded against and must not be taken lightly.
so……
"If you are really a blasphemer...it's just some blasphemy, and it won't affect me."
"On the contrary, if they..."
A decision quickly appeared in his eyes.
No matter who it is, they just continue to endure it.
As long as He can endure it, no one can do anything to Him!
As for whether He could bear it...
Since losing the three essential qualities of "glory, courage, and nobility", what else can He not endure?
His eyes slowly closed, and the shadow giant fell asleep again.
…
Eugene and Rodnik spent more than a month going back and forth.
However, when they took advantage of the darkness and crossed the mountains directly to reach Dragon Castle, there was no need to explain. The size of those elite servants directly showed that they definitely did not come through the teleportation circles of the Dragon Worship Cult.
It should be that he sneaked all the way from Lei Loren in order to be as secretive as possible!
"With the mind control of illithids, even undead creatures will be affected or even directly controlled by them as long as they have souls.
Therefore, apart from the undead creatures refined by ‘manipulating the dead’, only golem constructs and the like can effectively deal with them.”
Seeing the green dragon looking at his servant with interest, Rodnik gave a brief introduction.
Behind him, except for a death knight who was covered in pitch-black armor, with strange blood flames burning in his eyes under the mask, and riding a black smoke-filled skeleton war horse, with a terrifying aura, everyone in Judu
It is a humanoid undead that is bloated and larger.
There are dozens of these undead, and they are generally more than twice as big as ogres. The two most powerful heads are like mountains of meat, with six arms sewn together.
This is the flesh demon!
Those two are particularly powerful, and they are obviously advanced flesh golems. They may not be at the legendary level, but at the second level, they are definitely very powerful, not much worse than the two-headed ogre under Isaac.
, and the most important thing is that they are golems and cannot be controlled by any mental spells!
Eugene's servants are different from him.
Except for a giant centipede monster zombie and a few clay golems, the sky behind him was almost invisible under the cover of night, but under Isaac's eyes of true knowledge, it revealed some dangerous atmosphere.
