Lord of Spells from Faerûn

Chapter 298 Shadow’s Beloved—Shadow Dragon

"Tick tock, tick tock."

In the silent darkness, the adventurers moved forward silently along the narrow cave. The stalactites above their heads were dripping with water droplets, and the sound splashed into the wet puddles on the ground. Mixed with the dull breathing of the adventurers, it seemed very strange. Depressed.

Finally, a faint light came from the front, which was the light emitted by fungus mushrooms that can be seen everywhere in the underground world. Under normal circumstances, the presence of such mushrooms means that they will encounter larger caves next.

"Ahead is the [River Witch Cave], be careful." The human warrior in the group of four said while holding the map. "There used to be a neutral evil sea hag gathering there, but I don't know what happened to it now."

At this time, the monk who had been silent suddenly spoke: "Shadow."

The bearded dwarf frowned and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"I feel the powerful power of shadow, right in front." The monk replied.

His words alerted the others. As the controller of the shadows, Shar is something that even a three-year-old child knows. If these shadow powers have nothing to do with her, no one would be stupid enough to comfort themselves.

The tunnel came to an end and the adventurers entered the glowing cavern. Everything in this area was cold and damp, with water dripping from the rocks at the top and shallow pools everywhere.

The ground here is covered with wet black cobblestones, which creak under the feet of a large number of adventurers. The loud noise attracted the attention of other creatures in the cave.

In the distance, in addition to the faint blue light emitted by the mushrooms, a little red light rose in the darkness, which aroused the curiosity of the adventurers. They thought it was the light of gems, and they were ready to step forward to check it out.

The halfling thief in the group of four narrowed her eyes slightly, and her excellent vision allowed her to vaguely see the red light in the dark: "It's a human!"

Sure enough, roars came from the darkness, more scarlet lights lit up, and they quickly approached from the darkness. Their bodies were revealed in front of everyone. They were a group of lycanthropes with different looks, their eyes flashing. The crazy scarlet color is the source of those red lights.

"Enemy attack!!" The adventurers screamed and quickly picked up their weapons to prepare for the attack.

There were so many lycanthropes that the adventurers were under great pressure when facing these monsters. At this time, the group of four also gave up trying to catch fish and rushed forward to fight.

The human warrior's name was Al. He rushed forward with a heavy sword shining with magical light. A very large werewolf among the lycanthropes stared at him. Before Al could take action, in the darkness A cold light flashed towards him.

"Cang!" Al blocked the werewolf's claws with his heavy sword. The warrior's powerful physique allowed him to easily resist the werewolf's attack and counterattack.

Al waved the heavy sword in his hand, and each swing brought up a gust of wind, and his attack surged towards the werewolf like a tide. The werewolf is erratic and extremely agile. Sometimes it dodges, sometimes it fights back. Their battle caused a cloud of dust, and the surrounding adventurers and lycanthropes retreated to avoid being affected.

Al became more courageous as he fought. His heavy sword was as heavy as a mountain, but every time he swung it, it carried an unstoppable force. The werewolf used his claws flexibly to shuttle through Al's attacks at an alarming speed. Their claws and swords intersected, making a harsh metal collision sound, as if to tell people the intensity of this battle.

Al strode forward, waving his sword with a fierce wind. The werewolf dodged nimbly and slashed Al's armor with a claw from his backhand. Al groaned and took a few steps back.

Immediately afterwards, the werewolves launched a fierce offensive. Using his speed and strength, he quickly approaches El and attacks with his claws. Al gritted his teeth and persisted, blocking the werewolf's attack with his long sword.

"Damn it, I'm afraid this strength attribute is at least 25 points!" the human warrior shouted. He didn't expect that the beastman in front of him would be so difficult to deal with.

The battle became more intense, with Al and the werewolf moving around in the underground cave, and the sound of fighting echoed in the cave. Al caught the werewolf's mistake and quickly counterattacked. He swung his sword and accurately hit the werewolf on the shoulder. The werewolf roared in pain and was forced back a few steps by Al.

However, the werewolf did not give up. He roared to the sky, and a bloody mist enveloped his body. The werewolf became larger and its claws became sharper.

He roared and charged at El, swinging his claws with all his might. Although Al blocked the blow, he was knocked back a few steps. He felt that the werewolf's power was so powerful that he couldn't resist it.

At this critical moment, Al suddenly thought of a way. He deliberately exposed a flaw to lure the werewolf to attack. When the werewolf swung his claws again, Al quickly dodged sideways, and then struck the werewolf's hind legs hard with his sword. The werewolf screamed and fell to the ground.

Al did not hesitate, and immediately took a step forward, raising his sword to deliver a fatal blow to the lycanthrope lying on the ground.

In addition to Al, halfling thieves and dwarf warriors also joined the battle. Only the monks still stood silently, not knowing what they were waiting for.

With the help of three high-level professionals, after removing the strongest lycanthropes, the balance of war quickly tilted towards a few people, and the lycanthropes were dying at an extremely fast speed.

"Roar!!!" Deep in the darkness, a huge dragon roar suddenly came, shocking everyone present. The monk who had been standing still suddenly raised his head, his eyes serious.

"Here we come." The monk murmured.

A mysterious and charming creature flew out of the shadows. It hovered over the huge cave. Its slender figure made all creatures afraid to move.

Its appearance is unique, with the majesty of a dragon and the mysterious atmosphere of a ghost. Its body is long and flexible, and its skin has a black luster, as if it blends into the darkness. Its scales are smooth and hard, shining with a faint cold light. These scales are like mirrors, reflecting the surrounding environment, forming an illusory image.

Its eyes are like two stars, shining with pale blue light. Its eyes are deep and bright, as if it can see through everything. Its tail is slender and powerful, with sharp claws at the end, which can be used for both attack and balance.

"Dragon. It's a dragon!!" There were horrified shouts from the adventurers. Dragons are always the biggest nightmare for adventurers. These magical creatures with naturally strong bodies and various spell-like abilities can easily crush any low-level creature. Level professionals, and more importantly, compared to other rare and powerful magical creatures, dragons are more common in Faerûn.

"No," the monk silently stared at the dragon hidden in the black mist, "that's the shadow dragon."

The Shadow Dragon is a symbol of darkness and nothingness. Its body is like a shadow in the middle of the night, constantly twisting as the light changes. Its eyes flashed with a cold light, which was an indifference and ruthless mockery of life and death. Its sharp claws are as if they are made of fine iron and can easily tear through hard rocks.

Shar's masterpiece, the true dragon living in the shadows.

The Shadow Dragon dived quickly toward the ground, opening its fangs and spitting out billowing black smoke. The adventurers were covered by the thick fog, choking and coughing, and a feeling of weakness enveloped their whole bodies.

"Damn, the breath with the weakening effect." Al yelled. He was once taught a lesson by a mage. The other party just shot a green beam, which made him fall into the same feeling of powerlessness. All the strength in his body was lost, and even His professional level was also greatly reduced. It was not until later that he learned that the spell was called [Weak Energy Spell].

The breath effect of the shadow dragon in front of him was exactly the same. He quickly prepared to break through the smoke and escape. If he stayed for a while, his professional level would also start to decrease.

The monk in the distance has a stable figure, with a firm light shining in his eyes. He clasped his hands together and recited a verse in his mouth. Every movement of his body was full of power and harmony. He threw a wooden staff into the air, and in an instant, ancient runes flickered in the air, condensing a dark beam of light and shooting directly at the Shadow Dragon.

"Stupid humans, trying to defeat me with the power of shadow?" The Shadow Dragon made a mocking voice. It roared, invisible magic power burst out from its body, and the dark beam of light instantly shot towards the monk as if it was refracted by a mirror.

However, the monk seemed to have anticipated all this. He quickly moved his position and avoided the attack of the shadow dragon with an unpredictable pace.

The Shadow Dragon sneered, its body floating like smoke, it opened its huge dragon wings and launched a fierce attack on the monk.

The monk did not dodge. On the contrary, he leaned into the shadow dragon's embrace, and then suddenly rushed forward. His target was the pair of dragon eyes that shone with cold light. His fingers were as sharp as a knife, and he instantly pierced the shadow dragon's eyelids. The light of the dragon's eye was instantly extinguished, and the entire cave fell into darkness.

"Roar!!" The shadow dragon was in pain, and threw its huge dragon tail towards the monk. The huge force caused strong winds, and the monk had to retreat. The shadow dragon also found a chance to fly back to the sky again.

"Damn humans!" Shadow Dragon roared in pain, "I am a subject of the Night Goddess, the darling of the shadows! How dare you challenge my majesty!"

The shadow dragon burst out with extremely powerful shadow magic, and billowing black mist continued to emerge from the void.

"Prisoner of the Night!"

The huge power of shadow turned into huge pillars of shadow. The staggered pillars formed a cage, tightly surrounding the monk. The cold power of shadow continued to surge inward, and the thick black mist completely engulfed the monk. .

"Hmph, ant." Shadow Dragon cursed disdainfully. Although it consumed its only level 7 magical slot and used the level 7 shadow secret technique [Prisoner of the Night] to eliminate the opponent, the opponent should be the one below. The strongest among the group of professionals.

Just as the Shadow Dragon was about to use [Step into the Shadow] to blend into the darkness and kill the group of adventurers one by one, the boundless darkness in the [Prison of the Night] that it thought was infallible actually revealed a faint golden light. .

"Boom!!!" The huge golden light carried unparalleled heat and completely destroyed the prison formed by the power of shadow. In this dark underground, the dazzling light shone like the sun.

"Light and darkness are originally one." In the light, the monk stood quietly with his hands clasped together. His body, which was originally surrounded by the power of shadow, was now like a clear river, half shrouded in black mist, and half filled with incomparable heat. of golden light.
