Chapter 825 - Dracolich
Chapter 825: Dracolich
Raizen didn’t suppress his voice. When he said this, everyone was shocked.
‘Arthur’, actually is the Fallen Angel Empire’s Empress Shea’s newlywed prince consort, ‘Aguile’?
If someone else said that, he would definitely be ignored in disdain: One is the first alchemy genius and super grand master who has been an alchemist for hundreds of thousands of years; the other is the famous peak stage of the Demon Overlord powerhouse who battled countless wars with Shea. How can these 2 people who have achieved outstanding achievements in their respective fields and have never met be the same person?
However, this sentence came from the Demon Realm’s top powerhouse, Bloody Empire’s Lord Raizen, so the people had to believe it.
The most shining star and the most outstanding grand master in this alchemy competition is really the Royal Highness Prince Consort ‘Aguile’ of the Fallen Angel Empire?!
All of the Fallen Angel Empire audience at the arena would have cheered if ‘Arthur’ was not in a very dangerous situation.
The strength of ‘Saman’ was obviously on the same level as Raizen. Raizen once easily defeated ‘Aguile’ at the Warlock Fortress, so now Aguile…
At this moment, Raizen’s brow suddenly raised.
Immediately afterward, everyone saw a light.
A brilliant light.
The black gas surrounding ‘Aguile’ collapsed under the rays of light like the darkness dispelled by the dawn. It faintly revealed the tragic scream of ‘Saman’.
The light was very bright. Let alone the 2 moons that have turned purple in the sky, even the 2 moons in the daytime were far less dazzling. This was simply the legendary ‘sun’ of the human world!
No, the sun was supposed to be hot, but this cluster of light was bright and magnificent – It was starlight!
Corresponding to the brilliance of the starlight, there were waves of brilliant and powerful strength breath which made even Paglio and Dodo, who were only 1 step away from kingdomized, shudder.
Raizen stared at the dazzling starlight without dodging while feeling the powerful momentum. His body was burning with a roaring fighting spirit.
The strength of ‘Aguile’ has actually reached this level!
By the way, ‘Aguile’ once said in the Warlock Fortress that he is imprisoned by the law artifact, and now it seems that… the imprisonment has been unlocked? No, didn’t he say that it will take 2 years?
Raizen’s eyes gleamed brightly, and the 4 surrounding weaponized men of the peak stage of the Demon Overlord turned into powder at the same time.
The dazzling starlight finally gradually subsided, revealing the human in the middle. ‘Aguile’ had a set of starlight-like deep and magnificent full-body armor with a pair of huge wings behind it, revealing an elegant and solemn temperament which made people unconsciously look up to him.
[Armor of Faith]? Raizen frowned slightly, and he immediately sensed that something was amiss. If he just uses [Armor of Faith] to temporarily boost to the kingdom level, it would be impossible to have real law power, but from the vibration of my own blood, I clearly sense an extremely pure kingdom power.
The strength of ‘Saman’ should be peak stage kingdom, higher than that of Raizen, but it seemed that his strength had been greatly reduced by negating the duel space. With the further understanding of kingdom recently, coupled with Mammon Royal Family’s bloodline talent and Bloody Ring that could restrain dark element power, Raizen had the confidence to surpass the power difference and win against ‘Saman’. – ‘Aguile’ is not the type of person to have blind confidence. It seems that this kind of transformation form of [Armor of Faith] is definitely more powerful than I Imagined. It should be able to compete with the real kingdom powerhouse.
‘Saman”s black gas was forced back, and he suffered a small injury. His cold eyes skipped in horror, “Whose believer are you? You actually have such a powerful [Armor of Faith]!”
This kind of [Armor of Faith]’s powerful breath was secondary. What ‘Saman’ was afraid of was the existence behind this armor who must be a terrifying Pseudo-God.
Chen Rui didn’t answer ‘Saman”s question, and he said coldly, “Our duel is not over yet. I will use that bottle of resurrection potion to drown and exterminate your soul.”
“Shameless bragging! It’s just a bluffing shell. Do you think you can compete with a real kingdom-level powerhouse? Or a powerful dragon who is about to reach the peak stage kingdom?” ‘Saman’ laughed arrogantly as a forceful dragon momentum surged, “No matter who you are, today you will be my food! This is thanks to the imprint space rule! Otherwise, I really can’t have your lifespan!”
Using the power of rule to take Chen Rui’s life was the real purpose of this giant dragon. He initially thought that with Saman’s alchemy grand master strength, he could easily win the opponent’s life. He didn’t foresee that the other party would show unexpected power that was far above Saman. As a result, he ended up in a worse situation and even nearly lost his own (giant dragon) life. Therefore, at this juncture, the giant dragon had to burn the remaining vitality and sacrifice a considerable amount of power as a price to use the secret technique to reverse the power of the rule. He had actually reached the point of no return.
“Dragon?” The sneering laughter came out from the bright and shining armor, “A black dragon who did not hesitate to convert himself into an undead actually has the face to call himself a dragon? I should call you… ‘dracolich’! Am I right, traitor of Dragon Island, Ukleus?!”
The black gas all over the giant dragon stagnated for a while. He couldn’t help but blurt out, “How do you know these secrets?! Who are you?!”
What terrified Ukleus the most was that the other party not only saw through his original body of dracolich and the black dragon, but he also revealed his real name and origin!
Simply put, dracolich was a dragon who abandoned his own body and converted himself into a powerful magical creature in the half skeleton form just like the undead magician converted himself into a corpse necromancer. A dracolich had a powerful magic and combat power which was hated and despised by the dragons.
When Auglas returned to Dragon Island, he defeated Ukleus with great power to regain the position of Dragon Emperor. Ukleus fled with serious injuries. When he was on the verge of death, he was forced to activate the forbidden secret technique and tried to convert himself into dracolich to obtain immortality. However, the conversion process was originally very dangerous, and Ukleus accidentally made a mistake when converting. When he was about to be annihilated, he happened to meet the fleeing Saman.
Ukleus used Saman’s imprint power to forcibly complete the conversion process and finally became dracolich. Also due to the power of the imprint’s rule, Ukleus and Saman’s lives were bound together. He was unable to have a real undead body, nor create a life box. Therefore, he could only follow Saman to participate in gambling battles and use the rules to devour others’ lifespan to survive. It could be said that his success and failure were both due to the same factor.
When Ukleus and Saman met Chen Rui in the Fallen Angel Capital, they found that his life force was extremely strong. It was at least more than 100,000 years old which was far better than that of Tetenis. In order to replace this better gift, Ukleus did not hesitate to sacrifice his life for 300 years to delay the duel, but unexpectedly he was met with failure.
If he couldn’t devour his opponent’s life force, then even if he was not re-controlled by the power of rule and sentenced to death, Ukleus would have exhausted his limited life force and be annihilated with Saman. This was the last resort.
So, I must devour ‘Arthur’ at all costs!
Ukleus let out a long roar. His dragon demeanor mixed with the power of the undead to form a huge force field, exuding a chilling and strange breath. He had activated the strongest kingdom power.
Chen Rui also had countless phantasms around his body. With him as the center, they revolved and rotated according to mysterious laws— [Blue Star Kingdom] of [Blue Pole Star Transformation]!
Raizen sensed the pure and incomparably pure kingdom power from the phantasms of the stars. His eyes flashed, and there was a layer of bloody light on the periphery of the force field and the phantasms of the stars. This was a kind of protective strength to ensure that the battle would not spread to the audience. Of course, he might also intend to compete with these 2 kingdom powerhouses.
Now that Ukleus’ origins were revealed, he didn’t need to conceal himself anymore. He retrieved the concealed black gas to reveal his hideous body. This was a giant dragon with a skeleton as its main body. It was different from the spirit dragon made by Guradam. It was not a bare skeleton, but had its own ‘flesh’. To be precise, it was a mechanized body. The translucence looked somewhat similar to a crystal dragon – This should be Saman’s masterpiece.
A dracolich fully armed with mechanical skills!
As soon as Chen Rui moved, he had already teleported above Ukleus. Immediately afterward, everyone felt dizzy as if a meteor had fallen on the back of the giant dragon.
Ukleus was shocked. His huge body fell straight down and slammed on the ground. An exaggerated crack suddenly appeared on the ground protected by the enchantment. This was the result of Raizen kingdom’s protection. Otherwise, the aftermath of the shock would make the entire arena collapse.
“Real kingdom power!” Ukleus said in disbelief, “How is it possible? You should be a Demon Overlord who is just covered with a layer of kingdom shell!”
As soon as he said it, Chen Rui’s figure disappeared again. Countless ‘meteors’ flew toward Ukleus. Since he gained valuable insights in the space of the Star Tower, he had been refining and accumulating the most basic Star Power these days, so the power of [Pole Star Transformation] was much stronger than when he fought Ze Hongen.
Compared with Ukleus’ huge body, this ‘meteor’ seemed to be just a few thin light beams, but it caused an impact far beyond imagination.
In the muffled and dense sound of hitting, Ukleus’ body gradually sank into the ground, and his back also showed obvious cracks. With a roar, the giant wings spread open, bursting out intertwined spider webs.
This was the most common ‘cobweb technique’ of restraining action, but Chen Rui could clearly sense the terrifying splitting power attached to the spider silk which was enough to split the hardest metal. His figure teleported several times to avoid the spider web.
However, when he stopped, he found that the escape route in all directions was blocked.
Ukleus stood up from the ground, and the cracks on his body actually healed automatically. As an undead creature who felt no pain, although Chen Rui’s attack was extremely violent, it did not cause any real damage.
Looking at the opponent with no way out, Ukleus opened his huge mouth, and a cold and terrifying flame had been charged in an instant and launched at Chen Rui.
