"How is the Lord?" Orel then asked.
"The Lord should wake up soon, but this time it seems a bit strange. The time before the Lord's sleep was not as long as this time, and the place where the Lord slept had a very strange smell..."
"My Lord should be experimenting with other powers, so don't make rash remarks!" Orel said sternly.
"My subordinates dare not!"
"Go do what you have to do. Maybe you'll have to deal with Nadia later!"
"As ordered!"
...
Nadia always felt a little uneasy sitting in the car.
It seemed that something bad was about to happen.
She lowered her head and touched the ruby ring on her finger, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually faded away.
She thought it should be because she was nervous about facing a powerful enemy.
"Attention, everyone! The Death Canyon is ahead. Be careful of the black mist!" said a drow warrior at the front of the team, flying mid-air on a ferocious giant bat.
Nadia lifted the curtain and looked at the dark Death Canyon ahead.
It was very quiet inside.
But Nadia seemed to feel that there was a terrifying monster watching her from within.
"Keep going!"
Slowly, the entire huge team entered the Death Canyon.
From a distance, the Death Canyon loomed like the gaping maw of a colossal, ravenous beast, its jagged edges resembling sharp fangs ready to tear into anything that dared approach. The entire drow expedition seemed to march willingly into its depths, like helpless prey entering the throat of some monstrous creature, unaware of the impending doom that awaited them within its suffocating darkness.
---
I stood on top of a stone pillar at the highest point in Death Canyon.
Beside me stood Arthas, and the death knight's eyes glowed with blue light.
Two creatures with terrifying auras surveyed Death Canyon.
Quietly, we waited for the prey to take the bait.
"Arthas, how is your recovery?"
Having nothing to do, I began to inquire about Arthas's strength.
After all, this guy has legendary strength after his transformation.
It's just that he lost some after coming to this plane while trying to revive his child and lover.
But it is still recovering slowly.
"My Lord, there are too few creatures here. I can't convert more creatures, and the energy I can absorb is limited..."
I nodded. It seemed that I had to find an opportunity for Arthas to harvest a wave of souls.
It should be good to have a huge army of undead!
"Here they come! Your first wave." My scarlet eyes looked at the black mist below the canyon.
I had just seen these guys enter the Death Canyon through Elise's vision.
...
"Mistress Nadia, what if that death knight appears?" Elise asked beside the chariot, looking at the surrounding black mist.
"Don't worry, I have my own way to deal with that guy!" Nadia said confidently.
It was fine if the death knight didn't come out, but if he did, she wouldn't be afraid.
Elise looked at Nadia suspiciously. Why did the High Priestess think that she could easily deal with that death knight?
One must know that death knights are not so easy to deal with.
And if Nadia has a trump card and can easily deal with the death knight, why didn't she use it before?
Is it because it's not worth it, or...
"Then trouble High Priestess Nadia!" Elise said with a smile.
"Careful!"
Then there was a clicking sound in the darkness.
The surrounding black mist began to surge.
The drow warriors quickly formed a defensive circle.
Huge shields as tall as half a person were placed at the forefront of the team.
Clatter Clatter~
The sound of hoofbeats echoed.
A mighty and strong armored figure stepped out of the black mist.
It was the Death Knight Arthas.
He held a blue-black giant sword in his hand, which was his elemental greatsword.
"Death Knight, do you really want to be our enemy?"
Nadia's calm voice echoed, hoping to communicate with him again.
But Arthas didn't respond. Instead, he waved his hand, and hundreds of undead creatures rushed out of the darkness, surrounding Nadia's entire team.
Suddenly, the atmosphere of the whole team grew tense.
"Then we can only deal with you!" Nadia said coldly.
"All fighters..."
Before she could finish speaking, black raindrops began dripping from the black mist.
Nadia was puzzled. This was the Underdark—how could there be rain?
A warrior reached out and caught a drop of the black rain.
Immediately, white smoke rose from his hand.
"Ahhh!"
There was a scream.
His hand corroded instantly, leaving not even a bone. The corrosion spread rapidly.
"Careful!"
Immediately, black acid rain fell on the entire team.
Some drow warriors were instantly corroded by the acid.
This time, at least thirty soldiers died, seventy to eighty were seriously injured, and only a few remained unscathed.
Half the team had lost combat effectiveness.
Nadia reacted quickly, as did the drow mages in the team.
A cyan hood enveloped the entire team, resisting the strange acid outside.
The acid continued corroding the cyan shield.
Boom!
Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a huge figure flew down from the sky under the cover of the black mist.
Nadia was taken aback.
"It's a black dragon!"
"Why is the black dragon here?"
I looked at the cyan shield below.
Using the mist and my breath technique for the first time to attack such a group worked unexpectedly well, even though it wasn't as powerful as Mother's.
"The defense is fine!"
"Roar~~"
I opened my huge mouth and let out a deafening dragon roar.
The dragon's roar, mixed with wild screams, instantly penetrated the protective magic circle and directly attacked the drow magician who was maintaining it inside.
The magic power in their bodies surged.
Suddenly, the entire cyan magic shield shattered.
Arthas also sent the order to attack.
Immediately, the undead creatures launched a fearless attack on the drow elves.
The crossbows and spears of the drow warriors kept firing.
Head after head of undead creatures began to fall, but the undead creatures that were not fatally injured still stood up tenaciously and tried to attack.
"Nadia, this is a trap. The death knight has teamed up with the black dragon!" Brigitte said, looking at the chaotic scene and the cruel, ferocious appearance of the black dragon above.
"Where's Elise?!"
Nadia looked to the side, but Elise's figure had disappeared without anyone noticing.
"Damn it!"
Nadia gritted her teeth, a black light flashed in her hand, and three spider-like behemoths appeared in front of her.
"Construct!"
Elise, who was hiding behind the stone wall in the distance, said in surprise.
Silver hideous appearance, eight red eyes.
There were also eight extremely sharp legs, which were obviously constructed.
No wonder this girl was confident in facing the death knight. It turns out she had such a trump card.
One must know that none in Menzoberranzan city possessed such a high-level construct.
The moment the three constructs appeared, they attracted some undead creatures because of their huge size.
But the red eyes of the three constructs lit up.
The eight legs attacked as quickly as the sharpest spears.
Like the most efficient slaughterers, the undead creatures fell in pieces like wheat.
I became interested when I saw the three metal giant spiders suddenly appearing below.
The diameter of the eight legs of this thing was almost 12 meters.
It looked a bit like a robot spider from my previous life.
It's just that it's different in the wizarding world.
Constructs in my inherited memory.
These were created by those powerful creators, some powerful and some weak.
The three constructs in front of us were obviously powerful war machines created for combat.
"Arthas, you go and deal with that high priestess. Do not kill her—these three constructs are mine!" I rushed directly toward the three constructs after finishing speaking.
The moment I rushed down, the three constructs simultaneously raised their bodies.
Immediately, three wisps of tiny spider silk with metallic luster sprayed out from their mouths.
I dodged the three spider threads with a superb drift.
Immediately, the spider silk turned into a giant net and directly covered the stone wall behind me.
I turned around, my scarlet eyes narrowing.
Good idea!
The stone walls broke into small pieces as if cut by a sharp laser.
I tentatively used a blast bomb.
Silver patterns appeared on the surface of several spiders, which were the rune patterns of the magic circle, and the flames did not have much impact on them.
On the contrary, several silver-white spider threads spewed out from the mouths of the three metal spiders. These spider threads were made of unknown material, extremely sharp, and extremely fast!
I frowned. Constructs are generally made of special materials and are equipped with many defensive magic circles on the surface.
So these things have high magic resistance.
The moment those spider webs touched me, I rushed to the side of a construct.
My huge body pressed against the metal spider's back, and my claws pressed against the spider's eight eyes.
The construct's red eyes constantly flashed red.
But with my power, it couldn't break free at all, and the other two constructs wanted to jump on my back to attack.
But I whipped them away using my tail, and I spat out a blue lightning breath on the other, and the surface of its body suddenly flashed with lightning.
It seemed paralyzed.
I continued to study the construct beneath me, which reminded me of the Gundams of my previous life...
"Nadia, get ready to leave. The scene is out of our control!" Brigitte, in a black dress, looked at the death knight and the black dragon in the sky.
A sense of crisis filled her heart.
This was an innate ability of her race, which had never failed her.
"But the three constructs seem to be able to suppress the black dragon..."
"Idiot, that black dragon isn't attacking seriously. He's just curious about the three constructs!" Nadia roared.
"Careful!"
Brigitte jumped up, grabbing Nadia's arm.
Boom!
A dark blue sword slashed onto the chariot, and the chariot exploded immediately. The protective magic circle on the surface didn't play any role.
Arthas's figure, riding Nightmare, appeared in front of the two drow.
He stared blankly at the two creatures in front of him.
Nightmare sneezed, exhaling two undead flames from its nose.
"Nadia, you leave first. I'll hold this guy!" Brigitte's body stretched out eight black spider legs from her back.
Arthas didn't stop attacking. His state was extremely powerful under the terrifying speed of Nightmare.
In the eyes of those ordinary soldiers, Arthas was like a black shadow.
He just disappeared in an instant and then reappeared, immediately colliding with Brigitte's weird spider figure.
Brigitte looked petite, but she had a lot of strength.
She actually held Arthas's sword.
It's just that two of the spider legs behind her were broken, and she obviously wasn't feeling well either.
"Come on!"
Brigitte looked at Nadia, who was about to attack, and said sharply.
Nadia gritted her teeth, watching the drow next to her slowly being attacked by undead creatures.
Then, slowly climbing up in the weird black mist.
Unwillingly, she took a few elf warriors and flew up on ferocious bats.
"Stay here!"
I, who had already dealt with the three constructs, looked up at the few ferocious bats in the sky that were about to leave.
A dragon's roar, mixed with Dragon's Might, spread throughout the sky.
Several ferocious bats wailed, and their bodies froze instantly.
They were frightened by the dragon's roar and Dragon's Might. They rolled their eyes and fell, hitting the stone wall and turning into a few blood splashes.
"Nadia!"
Brigitte, who was clashing with Arthas, became anxious when she saw Nadia leaving the vicious bat in embarrassment.
"Black Dragon, we are the ones surrendering this time! I can pay any price—treasures, beautiful drows—you can take whatever you want, as long as you let us go!"
Brigitte tried to reason with the ferocious black dragon in front of her.
I, who had just twisted the heads of the three constructs off with strange force, looked at the Spider Woman in front of me.
"You're welcome. Just remember this in your next life!" I and Arthas surrounded Brigitte one after the other.
I felt that the creature in front of me seemed a little strange.
Unlike ordinary drow.
I was not very interested in the high priest in the distance.
"You forced me!"
Brigitte looked at Nadia in the distance, unwillingly.
Her body slowly enlarged as if melting.
The girlish, Lolita-like body quickly faded away.
Soon, a disgusting monster appeared before my eyes, and Brigitte's petite figure had completely disappeared.
It resembled a rotten tree stump covered in yellow mud, with a single malicious eye growing at the top of its body.
Standing about ten meters high, the yellow mud on the surface of its body dripped to the ground, corroding it into potholes, showcasing its strong toxicity.
There were also many tree-branch-like appendages, sharp teeth, and claws protruding from its body.
It was completely unrecognizable from the little Lolita girl from before.
"Damn black dragon, you actually forced me to use such an ugly form!" An extremely thin voice emanated from it, filled with malice.
"Wax Melting Demon! Yochlols!"
I recognized this disgusting creature. There was a brief introduction to it in my inherited memory.
A rare being, she was Lolth's handmaiden, an extension of the wicked will of the Spider Queen.
They usually resided in Lolth's magic net deep prison, serving as her agents.
Just like angels in heaven.
However, their strength was incomparable to angels. After all, even the weakest angels began their existence as 18th-order creatures.
These beings were sometimes sent to the Material Plane to guard Lolth's temples and assist the most devout priestesses of the goddess Lolth.
Typically, they pretended to be drow elves to accompany the priestesses.
I glanced at the embarrassed priestess in the distance, and it seemed she had indeed received a response from Lolth.
Otherwise, Lolth wouldn't have sent a Yochlol to help her. Sending a Wax Melt Demon to cross planes was no trivial matter.
Ha ha!
"Arthas, kill her together!"
Immediately, Arthas and I, the powerful black dragon, rushed toward the Wax Melt Demon.
The Wax Melt Demon screeched, and a yellow, wax-like liquid sprayed onto Arthas's body, producing a hissing sound.
But I wasn't too worried. The primary method of the Wax Melt Demon was its toxin.
And Arthas, being an undead creature, had a strong resistance to such things.
Sure enough, the black mist on the surface of Arthas's body dissipated briefly, and the yellow wax fell away harmlessly.
The dead-branch-like appendages on the Wax Melt Demon's body extended rapidly, whipping toward me and Arthas.
I grabbed one and bit down hard, but it softened like plasticine.
Not only was my bite ineffective, but the appendage slipped out of my claws like flowing water.
Arthas, however, used his elemental giant sword to sever one.
Yet, the branch turned into wax and flowed back into the Wax Melt Demon's body.
"Hahaha, your attacks are ineffective against me!"
The Wax Melt Demon's branches danced wildly.
I looked at the laughing Yochlol, my anger rising.
Her branches didn't cause much harm, as I, a black dragon, had resistance to toxins.
Between my natural defenses and the resistance granted by Feast, her attacks couldn't even scratch my scales.
But they were highly insulting!
Yellow marks stained the places where her branches struck me, and it looked utterly disgusting.
It reminded me of something unpleasant.
Nima! If you can't win, you resort to disgusting tactics, huh?
Arthas, too, seemed to share my irritation.
Riding Nightmare, he charged toward the Wax Melt Demon. Her branches flailed but failed to touch him.
The giant sword slashed toward the Wax Melt Demon's body, its blade faintly glowing with a blue magical light.
The Wax Melt Demon screeched, turning into a cloud of yellow mist to evade Arthas's attack.
This was the third form of the Wax Melt Demon: the mist form.
In this state, it moved three times faster and became immune to physical attacks.
It could also use its mist to attack. If ordinary creatures entered the mist, they would be poisoned and consumed by the Wax Melt Demon.
