Legend has it that thousands of years ago, in the south, further south than the Far South, there was a continent full of jungles, which was the origin of the elves, the home of the insects, and the damp sea breeze surrounded this land blessed by the gods of nature all day long, so that it would always be rich and abundant, and would never fall into any calamity. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, never again, the gods who once sheltered have also left this world, and in the great natural disaster that no one knew about thousands of years ago, this once fertile land sank into the endless open sea with the wails of countless inhabitants.

And at the end of the open sea, it was once a corner of the continent that was sunk by land.

The summit of a mountain that broke through the barrier of the sea and appeared in the sunlight, a mountain that was once a high mountain, whose name is a sacred endorsement, whose peak used to be accompanied by the wind above the clouds, and which were not visited by birds and dragons, but now it is only a lonely protruding sea, and has become a foothold for seabirds in the past.

But a breath came from afar, and immediately the chirping seabirds flew up and left the habitat with a scream.

In the distance, a huge black figure waved its wings across the endless sea with a speed that surpassed the sound, and finally reached the top of the raised peak in the waves set up by the raging winds.

It was a black dragon with dark eyes as dark gray as iron and stone, and the scales on its body were smooth and hard, minimizing the resistance of air and water.

"Mandagarh, elders' arraisal!"

After arriving at its destination, without the slightest hesitation, it opened its huge mouth and let out a deafening roar, this dragon language with a strange accent stirred the magic around it, and instantly caused a violent wind: "Open your portal, don't pretend not to hear!" ”

The violent sound waves stirred the atmosphere, and even entered the sea water, causing the sea level within a radius of tens of meters to be concave, and the existence called Mandagar by this black dragon did hear the voice of the black dragon, so a cold dragon voice appeared above the mountain peak out of thin air: "Amori, shut up, I have told you many times, if you want to get the courtesy of other dragons, you must learn to be quiet." ”

Although he put down the cruel words, Mandagar also knew that the Elder Council behind Amori was an existence that it could not refuse, so with a fluctuation of magic power, a huge hole appeared at the top of the mountain, and a deep tunnel appeared in front of the black dragon's eyes, and an indifferent voice immediately came: "Come in, I repeat, if you shout loudly, I guarantee that you are my next experimental material, and no one can stop it." ”

"Hmph."

Obviously, the black dragon named Amori was also very jealous of Mandagarh, and in the face of such a threat, it simply closed its mouth and quietly entered the hole.

After the black dragon entered, the huge hole that was enough for the dragon to enter and exit slowly closed, and all the seagulls that had been scattered before flew back to this habitat.

But what is surprising is that the eyes of these seagulls are different from ordinary seagulls, and in the depths of the white whites of the eyes, there is an eerie glow of crimson.

The black dragon flew down the deep cavern towards the interior of the mountain, which was obviously a magically carved tunnel, and flew along this path to the bottom of a large karst cavern, and after passing through a magical barrier, Amori knew that he had arrived in Mandagar's lair.

There are a lot of bottles and jars around the cave of the cave, which are the internal organs of some creatures, and some strange organs, if Joshua comes here, he will definitely find that one of these internal organs is very familiar to him, and there are dozens of bottles of sea abyss derivatives from the sea abyss demon dragon here, and there are traces of transformation all over it.

The four walls of the cave were a continuous gray crystal object, and the black dragon thought that this was just an ordinary gray crystal, and it was just about to laugh at the simplicity of the other party's lair, but suddenly stopped its mouth and showed a shocked look on its face.

"How? My living crystals, these little creatures live off rocks, but it doesn't matter if you eat some flesh once in a while, why don't you try feeding them? ”

A lukewarm greeting rang out, and Amoriel turned his head and saw the goal of his line.

This is an extremely old and strange dragon, it is said to be old because the ends of its scales are gray, its muscles are loose, and even the ends of the dragon's horns have a slight crack, and it is strange because its body is half gray-black normal dragon body, and half is replaced by those gray crystals on the walls.

These crystal shards slowly wriggled and squirmed, as dense as a colony of ants, unable to see the specific appearance and shape, in the depths of this crystal, a diamond-shaped core flowed with a faint magical brilliance, this dimness is not a decline, but like a synonym for a certain concept, decay, aging, death, as if the underworld is reproduced in this crystal body.

"No, I don't. I used to be the 'teacher', the title of [Dead Dragon Mandagar], I remember very well, I will not touch your things. ”

Sneered and replied, the strong black dragon was not afraid of the strange scene, it lived in the abyss of the open sea all the year round, and it could also use negative energy, it often saw strange creatures in the bottom of the sea, although the scene in front of it surprised it, but it couldn't make Amori feel afraid, let alone that it had often seen similar things before. Thinking of this, Amorites shook his head and said indifferently: "Let's not talk nonsense, the problem in the Abyss of Anos has been discovered by humans, and you must deal with it." ”

After finishing speaking, the black dragon looked at the other party's crystal body, and couldn't help but snort again: "Many dragons say that you are crazy, I originally didn't believe it, but now it seems that the guy who will use the living crystal transformed into the abyss crystal to reorganize his body is no longer crazy to describe it." ”

"Amorites, if you have not experienced death, don't speak big."

For this sentence, Mandagar, who was originally obedient and eccentric, was unexpectedly not angry, and it stared at the strong black dragon with the only gray pupil left on its aging body, and said in a deep voice: "The abyss of Anos? The abyssal chasm was there, but hadn't the humans discovered it a long time ago? Why should the Council of Elders be so surprised? ”

"But humanity has never tried to enter the central maelstrom, have they?"

Asked rhetorically, the black dragon was a little impatient: "Listen, Mandagar, you are the wise man of the dragon clan, you know that the Abyss of Anos is a retreat of our clan, if the wild dragon does not capture the holy mountain, and the offensive on the continent also fails, then the metal dragon and the human race will carry out the most thorough counterattack against us, at this time we can only retreat from the abyss, and the Abyss of Anos is the nearest and safest way out." ”

Speaking of this, Amori stared coldly at the half-crystal half-dragon in front of him, and it slightly bared its fangs: "The reason why you were able not to join our army besieging the Holy Mountain is because you promised to defend the Abyss of Anos, but now that the human ark is approaching the central maelstrom, you are still in your lair with your living crystals and laboratories - if you continue to be so passive and sabotage, will the elders sit idly by!"

After this ultimatum-like words, the lair fell silent, save for the rustle of living crystals moving around the surrounding walls, and the old half-crystal dragon somehow laughed, breaking the dragon's awkward silence.

"I'm almost done, Amorites."

Its voice was calm and emotionless, but it was like that, but it made Amori feel that something was wrong, and Mandagar used his old and wrinkled dragon face to reveal a 'smile' among dragons: "You only saw that I replaced my body with the Abyss Living Crystal, intending to continue my life, but you didn't notice the change in my nature. ”

"Success? What disgusting experiments did you do again? ”

After hearing this, the black dragon familiar with it immediately changed its complexion, it raised its vigilance, ready to break the mountain and evacuate at any time, but at the same time, it found that in the body of the dragon that was aging to the point of dying, there was a trace of disgusting but familiar breath from the body of the dragon in front of it.

"Famine God?! You're really crazy! ”

The dragon's pupils widened, the scales all over his body stood up, looking at the strange living crystals around him, Amori suddenly thought of something, and he roared in shock: "You actually made a deal with the evil god without telling the Elders' Guild, and privately transformed into its dependents [Ur Daimas]!" Traitor! ”

"Isn't the Council of Elders also making deals with the Plague Evil God and the Abyss, otherwise those dragons and demon-blooded dragons would have appeared out of thin air? Everyone takes what they need, and no one can say who is a traitor. ”

Haha laughed, the old dragon stood upright, the crystal fragments wriggling up and down all over his body suddenly condensed into one, becoming a black dragon body that shimmered with a dark light, moving the new body, Mandagar's eyes revealed not smugness, but calmness: "My former apprentice, I told you from the time you escaped from my laboratory fifty years ago, you have not experienced death, so you know nothing, the pain caused by the shrunken body due to dark wounds, the despair caused by the decaying body of aging, Young you don't understand anything. ”

"I didn't betray the five-colored dragon, it was the Council of Elders who kept me alive until now...... I, Mandagarh, have been called the Dead Dragon, but I will never forget it—but I will never forgive you for your defection and destruction of my twenty-seven precious test pieces, Amorites. ”

Didn't hear the end, the black dragon didn't say half a word of nonsense, but directly bloomed with terrifying spells and life light all over its body, it flapped its wings and flew upward, penetrating dozens of meters of rock formations in an instant, and it was about to break through the mountain and come to the sea.

Black dragons are dragons that live in swamps and abysses, and they are naturally adept at surviving in water and negative energy environments, and if Amorites were allowed to come to the deep sea, not even Mandagarh would be able to find them.

But an old voice with a hint of disappointment in its silence came behind it.

"What a failure, Amorita, your new teacher definitely didn't teach you dragon magic properly, and in the face of an Extreme Will-level dragon caster whose strength is not even higher than yours, do you think you can run away by running?"

With this sound, a string of gray wriggling crystal shards flew out from below, turning into a tentacle, tightly wrapping around the black dragon's hind paws, and the huge force completely overwhelmed the dragon's strong physique, and in an instant, it pulled Amori back to the lair covered in living crystals.

Lying on the ground, all over his body, his wings, limbs, and even his mouth were covered with living crystals, the black dragon's eyes revealed a trace of panic, but its eyes quickly returned to clarity, and viciously spat out a sentence or two of scattered words from between its teeth: "If I hadn't run, I would have died in your experiments a long time ago, and you, the person who tried to use me as an experiment, did not deserve to be called a teacher!" ”

Faced with the end of his imminent death, this arrogant black dragon did not have the slightest fear, it angrily rebuked: "And you ignore the orders of the Council of Elders like this, it is a betrayal of the dragon clan!" ”

Gazing into the dark gray eyes of the black dragon, Mandagar was silent for a moment, and then said in a calm and creepy tone: "Perhaps, the Elders can't rejuvenate me, I'll do it myself, some experiments are necessary - but don't worry, the Abyss of Anos has many of my test specimens, and those humans will be pleasantly surprised before reaching the Maelstrom." ”

At this, it showed an old and cruel sneer: "And now, with the help of your flesh and blood, I will regain my youth—I was wondering if I was going to catch a giant island whale, but I didn't expect you, a traitor, to send it to the door." ”

With a finger of the claw, a dark gray spell energy flashed, and the young black dragon suddenly let out a huge scream, and the countless gray living crystals that had originally bound it began to erode its body and multiply itself, and at the same time as the amoriel was eroded, the other half of Mandagar's old body also began to slowly transform into a dark black crystal texture.

Listening to the screams of his former apprentice, the old dragon said to himself lightly: "After completing the 'Death of the New Life', I will go to the Abyss of Anos and kill the group of ignorant humans, grievances are grievances, and I will not forget that I am a dragon." ”

And hearing this, the black dragon, whose eyes were originally full of resentment and unwillingness, was stunned for a moment, and then turned into pure hatred: "Mandagar, you colluded with the evil gods, changed your life, and killed your kindred, you are destined to sink to the bottom of the void-"

Before he finished speaking, the erosion of the living crystal had reached the heart and brain of the black dragon, and with a violent convulsion, Amori could no longer say half a word, but the old dragon knew what the black dragon's unfinished words were.

But even if you want to die, you have to die after you have protected the abyss of Anos. ’

The lair fell silent again, and after a long time, the living crystal completely completed the erosion, and the former black dragon did not even leave a single intact corpse, it was completely transformed, and the body of the old dragon was converted by four-fifths.

Looking at the rocky ground where the Amorites had been lying, it said in a disdainful voice, "Of course. ”

"I am the Dead Dragon Mandagar, the nightmare of mankind in the Far South two hundred years ago, and the mortal enemy of all living beings."

"Since I have returned to my youth, I will definitely do what I promised, whether it is to protect the five-colored dragon or kill you, a traitor!"

After speaking, the old dragon turned its head, its gaze seemed to be able to pass through the stone wall and space, and saw the towering holy mountain and the deep Abyss of Anos in the distance, Mandagar's eyes flashed with a light of thought, and it whispered to itself: "There is still a fifth, and it will be completed soon." ”

In its mind, a sword light suddenly flashed that knocked it from glory to the bottom of the abyss, and it was subconsciously startled, and then gritted its teeth and said, "Wait, human!" ”

Right in the direction of the holy mountain it was looking at.

High above the sea, a huge floating warship was flying towards the Sacred Mountain in the far seas at a rapid speed.

And a man, a warrior armed with a giant sword and a giant axe, with his own warhorse, stood at the front of the floating battleship, sneering at the obstacles in front of him.

It was a large group of creatures, tens of meters in size, covered in iron-hard scales, and their eyes showed an irrational madness.

In the middle of the battleship and the sacred mountain, there was a cluster of wyverns that covered the sky, waving huge wings, surrounding the sacred mountain in the far sea all day long, blocking the passage of most ships, and after noticing this huge floating battleship, countless wyverns roared and flew in that direction, trying to knock this strange and dangerous existence down.

And at this moment, in front of the warrior's eyes, a translucent magic screen appeared, warning something in bold letters, but the man was dismissive.

"There are too many enemies, so you need to back off for a while?"

Shaking his head disdainfully, Joshua clenched the divine machine in his hand, he looked at the wild dragon in the sky, and showed a cold and heroic smile: "It's the opposite." ”

"Now is the time to move your hands and feet."
