Part-time BOSS

Murphy looked around nervously after hearing this, but he could see nothing except the desolate rocky wilderness nearby and the deep darkness in the distance.

But being unable to see does not mean that there is no danger. Murphy knows this very well. His perception is 0 (initial 10 points, Crown of Fools perception -10).

Therefore, he cannot detect anything that is not visible to the naked eye.

This made him a little uneasy, so he casually took off the crown of the King of Fools, thinking that now that there was no threat from the ancient gods, he would have to gain some sense later.

"What's wrong? Is there a monster spawning nearby?"

"Anyway, just leave." Wang Xuan said in a deep voice. Mo Fei could feel that there seemed to be a trace of fear in Wang Xuan's voice. Was it the ancient god? Isn't that thing just a background board?

It's impossible to really show up, right?

Wang Xuan did not explain. He raised his hand to summon the portal. He was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and walked over to touch Malygos' body.

Murphy looked anxiously. Except for the dragon heart, which he had taken out before, Malygos had not touched anything else.

Wang Xuan glanced at him. Although it was just a glance, the information revealed in his eyes made Murphy get it all at once - you have taken the heart of the guardian dragon, what else do you want?

Well, that's true.

No matter what, just stay out of the way.

The two stepped into the portal one after another. In a flash of white light, the two disappeared, leaving only Deathwing lying there in despair and anger.

He could feel the approaching threat in the darkness, a terrifying presence that made every scale on his body tremble.

Damn it, you will all die when I leave!

How dare you do such a blasphemous thing to me, you despicable thief, thief, ant!

I will tear your flesh and blood to pieces and absorb your souls! Use my endless life to torture you!

His originally clear mind was gradually overwhelmed by anger and pain.

(No, I can't fall into madness again, I can never become that corrupted Deathwing again!)

Neltharion allowed his will to clear.

There was a strange sound in the darkness that made him change his mind.

Deathwing never thought he would be afraid, but at this moment, he did feel fear, but he could do nothing but feel despair and anger, lying on the cold rock, letting the power of the earth slowly Healing yourself.

The darkness was getting closer and closer, gradually surrounding him like a substance. The terrifying whisper sounded in his ears again, unprecedentedly twisted and noisy, as if countless people were whispering in his ears, tempting him and attracting him.

Neltharion (King of the Black Dragon): "No, I will never give in, never! My name is Neltharion, the guardian of the earth, the ruler of the dragons, and the first warrior under the Dragon God. Never give in, never fall!"

"Get out of my way, monster in the dark, whatever you are—ho!"

The roar of the Black Dragon King echoed in the darkness, as if he was frightened. The whispers suddenly disappeared, and there was silence all around, absolute silence, without a sound.

It was as if he was the only life left in the world, and this silence made Neltharion uneasy.

He stared at the darkness in front of him for a long time——

Snap, a fish wrapped in a mass of seawater fell in front of him. The fish seemed to have fallen from the ocean dome above his head. It jumped unwillingly in front of him, but soon lost its vitality, and the fish's mouth flickered. The Zhang Zhang looked very much like his current embarrassed appearance.

Neltharion was stunned for a moment, and after just one glance, he couldn't help but be attracted by the fish.

It was a strange fish with purple scales, and its eyes were staring at him, dark and deep.

The deep light was like a bottomless abyss, and Neltharion was faintly immersed in it.

That's it! Neltharion realized something instantly.

What are you waiting for?

He saw an inexplicable meaning in that look.

"Get away! You twisted and dirty monster, I won't fall into your trap."

The fish kept jumping, getting closer and closer to him, and the fish exuded the unique fishy smell and deliciousness of seafood.

It made Neltharion, who had been sealed away for too long, salivate.

An idea suddenly came to me.

Eat it!

The thought became stronger and more concrete, as if it came from the heart, as if it came from some kind of epiphany.

Eating it will heal all wounds.

Eat it to rejuvenate your body.

Eating it gives you great power.

If you eat it, you can take revenge and take everything back.

Eat it, eat it, eat it! Eat it! Eat it, eat it, eat it! have eaten……

Gradually, only one thought remained in Neltharion's mind.

He opened his mouth wide and slowly rolled his tongue towards the fish.

But just when his tongue was about to touch the strange fish.

Roar! A dragon roar suddenly woke him up.

A powerful black dragon descended from the sky. The flames it spurted dispelled the surrounding darkness and burned the fish on the ground to ashes.

The black dragon landed in front of Neltharion and turned into a black-haired man.

Seeing that face, Neltharion suddenly felt angry, but the next second, he suddenly became calm again.

Although he looked almost exactly the same, he could feel that the person in front of him was not Aidan.

He exuded an aura that was familiar to Neltharion.

"Morpheus?" Neltharion asked tentatively.

Morpheus was stunned for a moment. He vaguely felt something. Deathwing's voice no longer had the slightest hint of madness or violence, but instead contained an unusually calm and peaceful feeling.

"Lord Neltharion, I'm sorry to see you like this."

"What did I do before? Forget it, don't tell me. Everything has happened. There is no point in regretting anymore. Listen, my time is running out. Tell me, where is Nefarian? ?”

"Nefarian...he is dead. You killed him with your own hands."

"I see..." Neltharion's voice was full of hatred, as if he wanted to destroy the world.

"Lord Neltharion, your sanity..."

"Don't worry, I'm not crazy. I did fall into madness in the past, but my previous encounters have made me regain my composure. I have completely escaped the control of the ancient gods, but I am not sure how long this kind of sobriety can last. Now I am already too weak, and soon I will be swallowed by darkness.

I originally thought I could fight it, but I just found out that I can't do it at all. Listen, I will soon turn into a terrifying monster - you must kill me! "

Morpheus was a little speechless, he said to himself that I came to kill you.

"kill you?"

"Yes, kill me!"

"But the protective power of the earth..."

Neltharion snorted coldly. At this time, he was sober as never before, "So, are you here for the power of the guardian of the earth? But maybe you don't know that the power of the guardian of the earth is a blessing. It’s also a curse.”

"I know." Morpheus said calmly, "But this is a heavy burden that I must bear. I have a mission that must be completed, and to complete this mission, the power of the guardian of the earth must be obtained." He approached Neltharion’s ears spoke something into Neltharion’s ears.

A glimmer of light gradually appeared in Neltharion's eyes.

"You actually plan to do this? What a crazy idea, but who am I to say such a thing? Just do it, Morpheus, the power of guardianship of the earth is yours! But you must do something for me. Something! Otherwise, I would rather let this power fall into darkness with me."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Go kill someone for me! A man named Aidan."

Aidan! ? Morpheus was startled and thought to himself, isn't that Murphy?

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded seriously: "I promise you."

Although the relationship between the two is a bit subtle and they are considered friends, Murphy is a player anyway, and killing him will just make him quit the game, no big deal.

"Very well, then accept this power."

Neltharion roared, and a golden light suddenly appeared in his chest.

[System prompt: Neltharion is transferring the legendary title [Guardian of the Earth] to you. Do you want to accept it? whether. (Once you accept this title, you will open a new exclusive skill tree and may trigger an unknown legendary quest line). 】

Morpheus chose to accept without hesitation.

The golden light turned into countless threads, which were the embodiment of the protective power of the earth. This sacred power was transferred from Neltharion to Morpheus, and Morpheus immediately let out a painful low sound. Roar.

He felt that he had a subtle connection with the surrounding earth. His powerful perception allowed him to feel every plant and tree around him, every grain of dust, every fine grain of sand, not even a shadow. Seeing the strange power lurking in the darkness around him, he saw countless black invisible things ready to move in the darkness, looking at him greedily.

He felt that a powerful and strange gaze was watching him...

Without the power of the guardian of the earth, Neltharion has completely lost his last vestige of vitality. Without the healing power of the earth, his health is rapidly passing away.

Neltharion (King of the Black Dragon): "You have... felt it, right... Let's go Morpheus... leave this dark and unknown place... to lead the Black Dragon Legion... to complete your mission... "

Morpheus wanted to say something else, but the surrounding darkness was already approaching, and the darkness turned into black tentacles that looked like substance, entangled towards him and Neltharion.

Morpheus hurriedly fluttered his wings and shuttled through the gaps of countless dark forces. His strong body was unusually flexible. The ancient black dragon with a wingspan of more than 100 meters was so small in this endless darkness.

He kept breathing out the dragon's breath, burning a path with flames, and flew into the sky before the darkness covered everything around him. Finally - with a splash, he dived into the sea water above his head again.

Neltharion's body was continuously invaded by the dark power of the abyss, and he lost the power of protecting the earth. He was completely unable to resist the corrosion of the power of the abyss. Weird flesh sprouts and twisted tentacles grew out of his flesh, and his wounds were covered by the wriggling flesh and blood. filled.

The majestic dragon body gradually becomes weird and terrifying.

"It's all over..." Neltharion murmured to himself, his dark golden eyes gradually losing their luster and finally closing.

Suddenly, his eyes opened again.

However, there were no pupils in his eyes anymore, leaving only pitch black, as dead and profound as the void.
