Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

Cassius follows the black mist as he flies around the castle.

He saw the magic circle in the iron cage flickering, and countless blood slaves wailing and exploding, turning into ghostly black mist, rushing in a certain direction.

"These blood slaves were sacrificed"

"Their destination should be the outside world."

Thinking of this, Cassius stopped chasing, and instead waved his wings and flew upwards. The huge dragon body unreasonably smashed stone walls and ceilings, and ran rampant in the bunker.

Soon, with the continuous collapse of the buildings behind him, Cassius quickly came to the outside world.

However, the scene that came into view had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before.

At this time, there is neither a bright moon nor a starry sky in the outside world.

This is a lightless night.

The sky high overhead was covered by thick shadows, like a dark dome.

The surrounding colors are infected by the environment, as dim as the whole world, full of monotonous black and white, and tall black peaks appear in the distance.

And just above the dusk forest, countless mist masses composed of shadows condensed together to form a whirlpool of black mist that was constantly rotating.

Cassius looked at the black sky and muttered to himself:

"This is a projection of the Shadowfell Underworld"

"No, it was the old bat that broke through the barrier between the shadow plane and the main material world."

The Shadowfell Underworld, also known as the Shadow Plane, is a dark layer that is connected to and coexists with the main material world and glows with twilight. It is a sinister realm of darkness and power, and it is also a desolate frontier land of remoteness and unknown.

The place is filled with mist-like creatures made of shadowy matter, which is empty and desolate, without any breath of life.

The collection of black mist in the sky is obviously an alien vortex connecting the shadow world and the main material world, and will summon the unknown shadow creatures there.

"No, I have to stop him."

At this time, Cassius finally understood the meaning of the vampire's curse before his death - "You will all die".

Once the shadow curse of the Shadowfall Underworld invades, the entire North Wind Castle will become a dead city full of shadow creatures, assimilated by the endless, all-devouring darkness, and even he himself may be transformed into immortality. The shadowy red dragon.

Cassius surrounded himself with a shimmering barrier and broke into it forcefully, trying to stop the vortex of black mist and open up the dimensional barrier.

[Spell Invalid Barrier]

However, this has no effect. The level of this alien vortex is obviously much higher than the fifth ring. Even the tried-and-tested spell invalidation barrier cannot handle such complex and high-level spatial changes. It can only suppress the shallowest fluctuations. Smooth.

The red dragon opened its mouth and breathed out a fiery breath of fire.

The raging fire immediately caused the shadow creatures to burn, letting out shrill wails.

But its scale is already too huge. Thousands of shadows form a huge vortex with a diameter of nearly a hundred meters in the sky. Even if the red dragon exhausts its dragon flame, it cannot easily burn it out.

"This level of magic network fluctuations."

"This scale..."

"What exactly did the old bat summon?"

Cassius felt a bone-chilling chill in his heart. The existence that came to the main material plane through this alien whirlpool was probably no match for him!

Thinking of this, he tried his best to throw fireball, fire wall, lightning beam and other range damage spells into the vortex for free.

Flames, lightning, and brilliance crisscrossed the vortex, but they still could not stop the black mist from gathering, expanding crazily, and covering the sky.

"We can't drag it out any longer."

Cassius thought.

There was a terrible pressure in the whirlpool, which even made Cassius tremble.

As a naturally powerful red dragon, Cassius rarely felt this instinctive oppression, but now he felt it, and the feeling was very strong!

"Roar--"

With a deep roar, the dragon projection surrounded by black mist emerged from the vortex, and gradually solidified visibly to the naked eye.

It takes a certain amount of time for powerful beings in the Shadowfell Underworld to truly come to the main material world.

The huge body of more than 20 meters long is covered with black scales that are dull and have a color like charcoal. The wings have no wing membranes, but are transparent like a spirit body.

The most frightening thing is the pair of eyes, which are an extremely dim pool of gray-white, with no pupils and no crystals, like a bottomless abyss that wants to suck the human soul into them.

At this moment, those gray-white eyes were looking at Cassius, and a hoarse voice sounded.

"So they were the same race?"

"A young red dragon? No wonder. I'm still wondering, who would force my poor contractor to sacrifice everything."

"But I still have to thank you."

The giant dragon, or rather the shadow dragon, licked its lips in anticipation, dripping with disembodied black mist saliva.

"It feels really good to be able to return to the main material world again soon."

Cassius waved his wings as hard as he could, barely keeping himself suspended in mid-air. He looked up at the shadow dragon, which was far larger and more terrifying than himself, as if facing a formidable enemy.

[Based on your own strength, you can observe the following information]

【Night Mouthpiece-Mottifer】

basic ability:? ? ?

Challenge level: 21 (33000xp)

Comment: Mortyfer came to the Shadowfell Underworld seven hundred years ago and lived here. He enjoys the bleakness and desolation here, curses all light and life viciously, and is eager to spread the darkness and evil here.

He often transforms into a mage who calls himself "The Mouthpiece of the Night" and signs contracts with hidden traps with humanoid creatures to lure them into corruption. Eventually, he turns villages and even towns into death places filled with dark ghosts, greedily absorbing their power.

"legend."

Cassius' expression suddenly changed.

Challenge level 21, an absolute legend.

And due to the special nature of dragons, his actual strength will only be higher than on paper.

In short, this is an existence that only an entire team of legendary adventurers can barely contend with! Even enough to cause a plane-level disaster!

Cassius had never faced such a powerful opponent since he came to Erezegae.

Mouthpiece of the Night - Mortyfer, Cassius had heard of this name in his previous life. At that time, it was already the 4.0 version of [Plane Expedition]. It is said that this is the final boss of the high-difficulty branch copy [Dragon Shadow City] in the Underdark. .

But Cassius never expected that he would encounter such a powerful enemy now. After all, in his eyes, the Anzeta Wilderness was just a desolate and remote area, not worthy of the attention of those big shots.

However, his prediction was incorrect.

Obviously, this shadow dragon is very interested in spreading darkness and death in the Anzeta Wilderness, turning it into a dead place.

In his previous life, Duke Blood disappeared after the ascension ceremony was destroyed by an explosion. He was never heard from again. Presumably, he ended up miserably in the hands of this shadow dragon.

"We must not allow him to truly come to the main material world!"

This was Cassius's only thought at the moment.
