Chapter 568 - 288: Mythical Giant Dragon (Part 2)

"You’ve been marked, how will you evade it?" Diane reached out to touch his naturally flowing long hair. As soon as her hand touched it, the strands quickly wrapped around her hand, alarmingly invasive.

Baiyi was silent for a moment, looking at the increasing number of Netherworld beings, feeling a headache coming on.

A severely injured demigod would be manageable... but Baiyi now was not enough to counter the entire Netherworld.

Diane seemed to think, if one could ignore those malicious intentions, Baiyi’s dark side hair, although psychologically off-putting to the touch, once accepted... was quite intriguing.

"Go to the Divine Bottom Sea Trench, I’ll hold them off for you," Diane said softly.

"No, you’ll die," Baiyi flatly refused. "At worst, we abandon that giant statue. I have the method to create it; once my realm advances, I can always make another."

"Why do you always think I’m weak?"

The number of Netherworld beings outside kept increasing, with more than thirty Legendary presences, causing intense suffocation.

Magic Power flickered in Diane’s hand. "Long ago, you depended on my support."

"Because..."

"It’s fine," Diane interrupted Baiyi with a smile. "You’re fine here too. After seeing this, you should feel comfortable leaving, right?"

As Diane finished her words, the Magic Power in her hand tinted the epic-level Magic Staff.

The purple glow in her eyes surged madly.

Low murmurs began exerting a powerful suppression over the entire Undead side.

A ring in Diane’s hand slowly rose into the air, suddenly disintegrating once at a certain height.

The glory of the soul began to shine; it was a large Soul Vein, with the brilliance of a large Soul Crystal Core being remarkably dazzling.

The shining gold and silver surged above the soul, as a large gold mine and a Secret Silver Vein, illuminated the soul vein, making it appear even more advanced.

Diane’s aura drastically dropped, and the summoning that exceeded her level caused her newly advanced level to waver.

But her whole body’s Legendary-level equipment quickly stabilized this, being of the Federation’s richest direct lineage, she possessed enough wealth to handle any situation.

"You said before, when the Necromancer class has abundant resources, it’s the strongest, and I never lack resources."

"Respond to my summoning, Mythical Giant Dragon slumbering among the deceased, former destroyer of worlds, His Majesty Roland Balanta!"

Buzz~

At the end of the undead qi waterfall in the sky, a massive skull attempted to enter Xia, it was the skull of... a Demigod Lich Dragon!

The barrier of Xia’s world tried to prevent the entry of the demigod dragon, forming large patches of dark clouds in the sky.

The unstable Diane forcefully struck the void with her Staff, launching a colossal contract into the sky.

The dragon slowly extended its claw, pressing it onto the contract.

Buzz~

On the level of destiny, Diane and the dragon’s fate intertwined.

The world’s barrier instantly disappeared. This was a kind of guarantee contract, in certain moments, the dragon must return to the Undead Realm.

Buzz~

In the distance, the Ghost Demigod’s expression looked terribly grim, staring intently at the dragon, its aura intensifying.

A formidable adversary, a terrifying opponent causing it to tremble.

Dragons... are always the most perfect race, even more so for Mythical Giant Dragons.

"Phew...phew..."

Diane’s body trembled slightly, smiling as she looked at Baiyi. "How is it? Are you surprised? Do you feel a bit more at ease?"

Baiyi was silent for a moment. "Be careful, it’s still a demigod after all."

"186, stay here; before you die, her shield must hold."

"Yes, sir!"

The spatial fluctuations around Baiyi shimmered as he instantly flew towards the destination. Since Diane had demonstrated her ability to protect herself, dragging this out was pointless.

The giant statue was in the depths of the Netherworld, and now might be the only chance.

The Netherworld Demigod’s eyes slightly shifted, and the accumulated power within it exploded, trying to pursue Baiyi.

Buzz~

But then, a Magic Array blocked its way. As it shattered the array,

a somewhat trembling, yet still strong female voice arose:

"Great His Majesty Roland Balanta, this is my offering to you. Let the Netherworld witness the might of the undead, crush them!"

"Roar~"

The Mythical Giant Dragon, arriving from outside the world, seized three veins worth billions, releasing a joyous dragon’s cry.

The steps of the demigod halted, turning to Roland Balanta, and a battle of demigods was imminent.

-----------------

Meanwhile, in the Mermaid Capital.

The aftermath of the battles on the border had already spread here, causing all the corpse ghosts in the Mermaid Capital to restlessly stir.

But they seemed to have orders, never leaving the capital city, only searching within for something.

Er Shu is a Treasure-Seeking Rat, inherently without combat power, but highly blessed with the Lucky Attribute.

Under its guidance, Demacia’s path was unobstructed.

He kept looking downwards, and the Little Mermaid kept her eyes closed, her small hands gripping his sleeve tightly like a true human child, so cutely that one couldn’t help but want to protect her.

At this moment, the Mermaid’s Sanity Value was recovering in slumber, and things were gradually taking a turn for the better.

[If you’re unwilling to sign with her, then just initiate the All Heavens Summoning. Xiaomo has too many character flaws, she does have combat power, but it’s extremely unstable.]

[And Er Shu, though not useless, has combat power lesser than an ordinary adult male; you need a stable Summoning Tier worth nurturing.]

[I just found out that Mermaids don’t reach adulthood until they’re 150 years old, even longer than elves’ lifespan. Honestly, the upper limit of this race is high, but not very suitable for players unless you sign an adult directly.]

"Let’s see how it goes, how is Feng Chen and their situation?" Demacia followed Er Shu, weaving through the Mermaid Capital, while the waves on the sea surface grew stronger. The Mermaid Corpse Ghosts seemed to have lost interest in this soulless existence.

Even when Er Shu was not far from some powerful corpse ghosts, those ghosts didn’t notice them.

The Perception of the corpse ghosts was diminishing.

[Everyone has their fortunes; they’ve gone to other Border Cities as well, triggering many main quests. It’s said that Flowers of the Other Shore has good relations with the City Lord of South Spirit City. He triggered a major plotline, and that City Lord is already Level 80, set to enter Legendary at any moment.]

[Aren’t you also concerned about others? What you need to do now is...]

Suddenly, Er Shu extended its wing, giving Demacia a slap on the face.

"You...mm~"

The bewildered Demacia was about to say something when his mouth was suddenly covered, and he looked where Er Shu indicated.

There, a broken large door stood alone in the clearing, seeing the surrounding ruins, it seemed many buildings once surrounded this gate but were now all destroyed.

An incredibly beautiful Mermaid lay coiled before that door, exuding a natural sense of oppression that had an intense suffocating feeling.

Demacia, forgetting the sudden slap of dismay, cautiously stopped, watching the Mermaid Corpse Ghost from afar.

Demacia: [What is that? Isn’t the Divine Secret Realm behind her?]

Guard Brigade: [I don’t know, but if guesses are correct, this is the gatekeeping boss; no Divine-level Task is simple. Remember when Black Night Rose was around, without player traits, a Divine-level Task was impossible to finish.]

[So, looking from this angle, there’s a high chance it’s the Mermaid Queen, or rather a Queen level Corpse Ghost!]

Demacia: [...Ah, does that mean we’re doomed? It’s said Legends have incredibly keen Perception...]

Guard Brigade: [No idea, but you better hope she has no soul. A soulless Corpse Ghost can’t reach Legendary, merely possessing Legendary body attributes, while specialties drop significantly.]

[If it’s a soulful Corpse Ghost....prepare to die.]

Demacia: [On the bright side, what if it’s just a Golden Level...]

"Mm~"

A subtle infant-like sound emerged as the Little Mermaid slowly opened her clear eyes, blankly gazing at Demacia, the character-crafting making these great characters quite handsome.

She stared blankly for a while, slowly turning her head, instinctively murmuring, "Queen..."

Demacia: [....]

Demacia, with his shattered dreams, retreated, bringing the now awake Little Mermaid with him, a mask of pain adorning his face. Mad, does Divine-level Task = impossible task, right?

That’s a Legend! He’s merely a useless Marvel!
