Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 398 Rebellion after an encounter three hundred years ago?

Inside the secluded nest.

A small mountain of magical ores and numerous magical items was casually placed in a corner of the cave.

A faint, dazzling magical glow.

The light emanating from these treasures added an invisible glow to the pitch-black, deep cave.

A black shadow, illuminated by the light of the treasures, was projected onto the top of the cave, wriggling almost imperceptibly, like a living creature!

Whoosh...whoosh—

A long, drawn-out breath resounded.

The shadows and breathing sounds came from a massive figure that lurked in the center of the cave, blending into the darkness, even though it had already cast a shadow.

This enormous figure seemed not to exist, completely detached from the darkness within the cave. Any light entering this area was immediately swallowed up and disappeared, like a black hole!
suddenly!

The figure sleeping in the darkness slightly opened its eyes, revealing amber vertical pupils narrowed to slits, and looked at the pile of treasures.

A fleeting look of satisfaction and laziness crossed the other person's eyes.

The enormous, pitch-black figure moved a few times in the darkness, seemingly readjusting itself into a comfortable prone position.

These treasures are the fruits of its labor over 300 years.

Most of these treasures were contributed by a controlling organization called the "Body of the Abyss".

Dragons have a natural love and desire to collect treasures and magical items, and even with their restrained nature, they have unknowingly amassed quite a few.

This cave is its current home, which it dug out bit by bit by itself. Although it took a lot of effort, it is extremely safe!
This is because the entire underground cavern is free of any magical elements, and the obsidian veins overhead also serve to conceal magical power and life fluctuations, forming a second natural barrier!
Want to discover this underground cave?

Even by sheer chance, such a possibility is impossible, because this underground cave has absolutely no entrance or exit.

The only way to get here is through teleportation.

Use it as a base!

This place is obviously substandard; describing it as "rudimentary" is not an exaggeration at all. If other true dragon kings came here, they would probably laugh at it.

"Whoo~"

The mysterious true dragon king exhaled a breath of black air from his nostrils, squinting as he admired the small hillocks in the distance that radiated magical light.

This is one of the few sources of enjoyment we have right now.

laugh at?

It doesn't care about saving face when it doesn't bring any benefit.

The saying goes, "A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit." If a stronghold is built too luxuriously or attracts too much attention, it will only attract unnecessary trouble.

As the most powerful race in the entire world!

They shouldn't care about the attention of any other inferior races, especially a bunch of groveling creatures who don't even deserve to lick their nails.

Fear, trouble, attention!
It's something those inferior races need to care about.

but--!
This world has been tainted by filth.

The mysterious true dragon king's narrowed eyes changed slightly as he thought of this, a ruthless and profound malice flashing in his amber vertical pupils.

I could feel a piercing, excruciating pain all over my body; it was the chilling sensation of "death"!
This is certainly not its actual stronghold!

Even though the anger is uncontrollable and the pride in one's heart is unwilling to admit it, one is forced to face reality and hide here.

The real stronghold has been destroyed!

And the one who caused all of this was the evil Preya.

Three hundred years ago, in a sudden encounter, the evil Preya suddenly appeared near its stronghold.

They shamelessly want to turn it into a pet or a mount!
What a fool!
The battle left it severely wounded, even to the point of near death, but—

It wins!
They tore the other person to pieces alive, turning them into scraps and nutrients in their stomach.

The mysterious True Dragon King slightly grinned, revealing a fleeting glimpse of sharp, white teeth, and unconsciously let out a vicious, low laugh.

Of course, its gains were also enormous.

The mysterious true dragon king knew that its victory was largely due to luck, and that the evil Preya must have mistaken it for an ordinary dragon king, unaware of the true dragon king's abilities.

This led to a series of misjudgments, affecting the final balance!

More than 300 years have passed.

Its near-death injuries have fully healed, and it has even absorbed the experience, silently planning and preparing to deal with the situation.

That guy, Juya Irim, gave it a good idea!

The mysterious Dragon King's mind drifted to the image of that freak who had abandoned the noble identity of the dragon race and transformed himself into an immortal being, and complex thoughts flashed through his mind.

It's all the fault of the evil Preya!
They are the filth of the world and the enemy of all dragon kings.

His amber vertical pupils closed.

In the deep, dark cave, only the faint, long breaths could be heard from time to time, and it was unclear how much time had passed.

"You've become complacent." The mysterious True Dragon King reopened his eyes, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in them.

If it remembers correctly.

It should have been time for the inner members of the [Abyss Body] to contribute their research technology, but they still haven't appeared.

This is a challenge to its mercy!
It is an honor for this group of undead, like insects, to offer their skills and knowledge to the great Dragon King.

press?

Isn't that obvious?

I should be grateful that I didn't kill these insects.

Since the encounter three hundred years ago,
The mysterious True Dragon King has become extremely cautious, and naturally, he has brought the [Abyss Body], a valuable undead organization that rarely contacts the outside world, under his command.

Swish!
A flash of red light suddenly appeared from the deep, dark cave. In this environment, the red light was extremely dazzling.

And this moment.

The mysterious Dragon King suddenly looked toward the location where the red light appeared, his amber pupils revealing a chilling aura.

"remind!"

"The mark left on Benjeri of the Abyss has been removed."

"remind!"

"The mark left on Granz, the 'White Saintess,' has been removed."

"remind!"

"The markings left on 'Red-Eyed King' Krunua have been removed."

"remind!"

"........."

Without any emotional fluctuation, the mechanical sound, like two stones rubbing together, echoed in the dark cave accompanied by flashes of red light.

The sound was not loud.

But to the mysterious Dragon King, it sounded exceptionally jarring.

Wow!
An almost tangible energy surge erupted within the cave, sweeping across the entire cave like a whirlwind, leaving fine cracks on the surrounding solid obsidian walls.

"court death!"

The mysterious Dragon King opened his mouth and uttered two words in an icy tone.

His bright, amber eyes were fixed on the location that emitted a red glow and gave a mechanical prompt.

The environment inside the cave was pitch black.

Dragons, however, are born with the ability of "night vision," so the darkness does not impair their vision, allowing them to clearly see the object. It was about one meter tall, and its shape resembled that of an inferior human species, looking like a living human.

Actually.

This is an object, or more precisely, a Graeme, an artificial being that only obeys its master's commands and has no self-awareness or capacity for thought.

This "Greem" possesses special detection abilities, making it an extremely valuable item!

Although the mysterious dragon king remained in the cave and did not directly control the [Abyssal Body], the other party accepted its control and commands.

Besides its own immense power, the Golem also played a crucial role; to a certain extent, all members of the inner circle were under the Golem's surveillance!

Such a precious "Greem" was naturally not created by it, nor did it have the technology or ability to do so; it was an unexpected acquisition.

simply put.

It was something I found, not something I seized from the evil Preya.

"remind!"

"All nine marked personnel have escaped surveillance. Shall we activate detection magic to pinpoint their locations?"

The humanoid Golem's voice came again, awaiting the next instruction.

The mysterious Dragon King's eyes blazed with fury. If it were just one or two members who escaped surveillance, it could be described as an accident.

So now!

This was clearly not an accident; the [Abyss Body] had completely rebelled.

Regarding this result,

The mysterious dragon king felt a mixture of disbelief and uncontrollable rage, but these emotions were quickly replaced by a deep sense of vigilance.

[Abyssal Body] It knew very well the strength of these insects; they were no match for it at all.

These immortals are not stupid.

Knowing full well that the only consequence of rebellion would be annihilation, yet still making this choice, there's something strange about it.

Boom!
A dull, loud bang.

The mysterious dragon king seemed to stand up, but his whole body was still shrouded in dense darkness, with only his pupils, reflected by the magical light, emitting a cold glint.

It must make a decision as soon as possible!

The Abyss Body has high value, but once it rebels, it has no reason to exist and must be completely eliminated!
Because these beings of the Abyss know its strongholds and some of its intelligence, they absolutely cannot allow these undead insects to leak any of its information.

but--

The mysterious dragon king is currently unsure why these insects dared to do this, or whether they possess some means or countermeasures unknown to it.

"Detect," the mysterious dragon king commanded as he quickly assessed the situation.

"Counter-detection initiated."

"Detection complete... No detection-related magical reactions detected."

The humanoid Golem's eyes flashed red, and magical energy emanated from his body before dissipating again, as he spoke mechanically.

Hear this result.

The mysterious dragon king was certain that the [Abyssal Body] had not revealed its location.

Furthermore, the [Abyss Body] probably doesn't have any external support, and even if they did, their strength wouldn't be that great.

otherwise!

Given the nature of those undead insects, they would probably lead the enemy directly into his stronghold rather than choosing the current method of defection.

"very good."

The mysterious Dragon King raised his proud head, revealing his gaping maw: "You mere insects, you will pay a heavy price for this ignorant decision!"

While talking.

The mysterious dragon king raised his arm and took out a gold coin from the darkness, which looked larger than the currency used in normal transactions.

A faint golden light emanated from it.

All of this proves that the gold coin is a magical item.

Ding!
Accompanied by a crisp sound.

The gold coin was bounced through the air, its two sides spinning back and forth, and the pale golden light became increasingly intense.

On the front and back of the gold coin are a crying face and a smiling face, respectively, which looks somewhat comical.

There was a "click" sound.

The gold coin landed on one of the mysterious true dragon king's finger bones, displaying a smiling face.

"Activate detection magic."

Upon seeing the result of the gold coins, the mysterious true dragon king immediately issued commands to the humanoid Gram.

This gold coin is a magical item called the "Prank Coin," one of the items obtained from the evil Preya.

It has the effect of divination.

Although the scope of divination is rather vague, it is a rather useful magical tool. If it can be used in conjunction with a profession that has divination abilities, it may be able to achieve a more accurate effect.

pity.

The mysterious True Dragon King did not encounter anyone with this professional ability, which prevented the item from achieving its true effect.

However, it's not that it's unusable.

He just divined the danger level, and the result was a "smiling face," which proves that the danger level is not high.

"I accept the order."

The red light in the humanoid Golem's eyes intensified, and a mechanical voice sounded:
"Fifth-tier magic—Clairvoyance!"

An invisible magic spread out.

A moment later, the humanoid Golem seemed to have pinpointed the location, raised his arm towards the mysterious dragon king's position, and spoke again:
"Fifth-tier magic - Detect Connection!"

A slightly blurry image appeared in the vision of the mysterious True Dragon King, who let out a disdainful snort:
"The power of filth."

"Mid-position Origin - World Movement!"

- Swish!

The mysterious dragon king's figure flashed, and the dense darkness vanished like steam in an instant, leaving the deep cave peaceful once more.

Only the eyes of the humanoid Golem still emitted a faint red light, which then gradually began to dissipate.

There was a "click".

The human being, who should have no intelligence or self-awareness, suddenly twisted his neck, producing the sound of corroding iron scraping against each other.

He quietly watched the spot where the mysterious dragon king had disappeared.

"Intelligence report."

The humanoid Golem let out a faint groan, then its eyes glowed red before it vanished completely.

—The bottom of the Fenrir Valley.

This is a very desolate hilly area. Not only is it geographically remote, but it is also sparsely populated with life, especially near the distant sea.

This is because, like the Kingdom of Inberia, it was once part of the territory of a kingdom that was destroyed more than 200 years ago.

However, the immortals here have long since disappeared with the passage of time, leaving only a piece of land corroded by negative energy, where no living thing can grow.

But at this moment!
The once quiet area has been teeming with undead monsters, and even a dozen or so rare bone dragons are circling in the sky.
