Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 109 Pearl Dragon in the Ruins

The Duraya Trench, a deep underwater abyss.

Hundreds of meters below the water surface, this trench leads to even deeper darkness.

As the three continued to dive, the size of the fish became larger and larger. Giant sharks with a length of more than 20 meters could be seen everywhere, and there were some strange and ferocious-looking fish with bones exposed on the surface of their bodies.

Thanks to the might of the real dragon, these predators in the abyss fled far away the moment they saw the giant dragon. Even though they were at the bottom of the valley where there was no sunlight, the instinct in their blood made them understand that it was an invincible monster.

"How strange, there are no merfolk here?" Nemesis was a little surprised. He saw so many ferocious large fish here, but no merfolk came to subdue and control them.

In the deep sea, these large fish without supernatural powers are usually captured by tritons or various intelligent marine creatures and used as mounts. The Dulaya Trench is obviously an area rich in resources, but no murlocs have come to get involved.

Audrey is very clear about the reason behind this phenomenon: "Because it is unlucky."

"Unlucky?" Nemesis was speechless. What kind of reason was this?
"Yes, after all, this was once a temple dedicated to Deep Sea Sashelas, but it was destroyed by plague and then buried by an earthquake that created the Duraya Trench."

"None of the nearby murloc tribes dare to come here, for fear of getting into trouble."

"But the pearl dragon is fearless and has made his home here, living a leisurely life."

Nemesis used his psychic powers to restrain a huge Megalodon and teased its fins with his fingers. The simple-minded Megalodon didn't know why it couldn't move and dared not say anything.

"These fish can be used as cannon fodder later."

The power of the Mind Gem was unleashed, and nearly a hundred huge sharks were controlled by Nemesis, surrounding the three people and diving.

This incomprehensible scene made even someone as cold and indifferent as Catherine open her mouth in surprise. Audrey even shouted, "What did you do? This is amazing. Why do they all listen to you? Do you have the bloodline of a sea dragon?"

"Well," although Nemesis is indeed a mixed-blood, his father is not the royal family of the deep sea - the Poseidon, but the Seraph who stands high on the left and right sides of the gods.

"I just controlled them with enchantment." Nemesis explained briefly. He did not intend to let others know the source of his power.

Catherine frowned and said nothing. In her opinion, to be able to control so many fishes, it must be a very powerful high-level spell. Using such a precious spell slot to control these weak sharks is not a wise choice.

Despite the huge size of these sharks, Catherine alone is enough to easily deal with them all. Even though the water pressure in the deep sea has made these megalodon sharks physically powerful, they are still vulnerable to level 12 professionals.

A huge school of fish surrounded the dragon and his two companions like a huge circle. The Duraya Trench was bottomless, but after a long dive, they finally reached the bottom.

"I smell it." Nemesis sniffed as if he was sniffing something.

It smells like a dragon.

The owner of this smell does not care about hiding himself, but instead emits the smell ostentatiously, as if warning intruders - this is the territory of a real dragon.

The bottom of the Duraya Trench is completely empty and vast. At such a deep depth, no small fish can survive.

Not far away, the ruins of a huge stone pillar are half-stuck in the soil, with carvings on it that have remained immortal in the water for thousands of years, telling visitors that this was once a place where civilization appeared.

In this completely destroyed ruined city, one can vaguely discern the unique architectural style of the ruins. Huge stones are stacked together in an orderly manner, and each stone is engraved with words of praise to the gods.

Nemesis passed through the broken stone pillars and caught a glimpse of a huge black shadow flashing by.

"Let me see what I found. Hmm, a scroll dragon? There is also an elf and a naga. What are you doing in my lair?"

A low voice was heard from the ruins, and a huge black shadow rose from it, revealing its true form.

This 30-meter-long, sleek dragon's scales shine like pearls. His long snout resembles an alligator's, and the deep lower part of his mouth resembles a pelican's crop. A small crest grows from the base of his skull and extends toward his long neck, body, and tail.

This is an adult pearl dragon.

He looked at the few people with his pearl-black eyes, which were full of deep vigilance. For a real dragon, the most formidable opponent is always another real dragon.

Nemesis waved his claws, and the schools of fish surrounding them immediately dispersed. Seeing this, the Pearl Dragon became more alert. In his memory inheritance, the spellcasting ability of the Scroll Dragon was very terrifying, and the scene before him verified his thoughts.

"We need to enter that bronze door, the powerful real dragon." Audrey said with a smile. "Bronze door?"

Pearl Dragon's eyes darkened and he said, "Everything here belongs to me, including the bronze door! You'd better leave here, otherwise, even if you are from the same clan, I will not let you off easily!"

He glared at the Juance Dragon with a threatening look. In his opinion, these two little guys were the Juance Dragon's followers and were speaking for him here.

Nemesis laughed out loud when he heard this. This fool who only knew how to pick pearls didn't really think that he was afraid of his rudeness, did he?

"You'd better get out of my way right now, or I'll beat you until you're dizzy and take all the pearls from your nest!"

The threat of the Volume Dragon made the Pearl Dragon hold its chest in pain, with disbelief in its eyes. Is this still the lawful neutral Volume Dragon? It actually came to rob someone else's house!
"You shameless dragon! Even if I die, I will not allow anyone to take away my little pearls! I collected them by peeling open shells with great effort!" The Pearl Dragon roared angrily.

Nemesis said indifferently: "Then just move aside. The things inside the bronze door have nothing to do with you anyway. Don't tell me that all of them are your property. If you don't move aside, your property will also be my property."

The Pearl Dragon's entire mouth swelled up with anger. Its mouth, which was originally like a pelican's crop, became twice as big as a balloon.

"No! Impossible! They're all mine!!"

The giant pelican-like mouth opened wide, and scalding steam gushed out of his mouth. The cold sea water was heated to boiling water the moment it touched it. The extremely hot breath attacked Nemesis in an unavoidable large area.

The Volume Dragon did not react to this attack at all. The Pearl Dragon's breath was physical like that of other dragons and could not be broken by [Dispel Magic]. However, Nemesis, who had already maxed out his magic resistance and was surrounded by various elemental protective spells, was not afraid of this high-temperature attack at all.

The hot steam was blocked by the magic shield before it touched the body of the Scroll Dragon, and the two people behind it also escaped the attack.

Audrey called on seawater to attack, and a whirlpool formed around the Pearl Dragon, trying to roll up the dragon's body, but how could its huge body be affected so easily.

"tsk"

The Pearl Dragon spat and activated its supernatural ability [Water Control]. The whirlpools around it calmed down immediately, and the sea water was controlled by a powerful force, rushing towards the Scroll Dragon at a rapid speed.

"Damn it!" Just as Audrey was about to continue controlling the sea water to offset the attack, she saw that the Scroll Dragon had already cast a spell.

Fifth-ring Shaping Spell——[Ice Cone]!
Icy energy sprayed out from the fingertips of the dragon claws, and the sea water controlled by the pearl dragon immediately froze into ice and fell down.

Under the command of Nemesis's mind, nearly a hundred megalodon sharks rushed towards the Pearl Dragon like crazy. Although their size was similar to that of the Pearl Dragon, their strength was far inferior. The Pearl Dragon could knock a megalodon away with a casual swing of its tail, and its claws could easily tear the surface of these sharks.

But the enemies he faced were not just these sharks.

A figure rushed towards the Pearl Dragon like lightning. The long sword in Catherine's hand seemed to have no resistance in the sea water. It easily cut through the sticky sea water and attacked the Pearl Dragon's eyes.

The Pearl Dragon quickly raised its dragon claws, and the long sword collided with the hard dragon claws, making a crisp sound. The next moment, the huge force from the dragon claws knocked Catherine away.

"Roar!! Damn bastard! Don't even think about stealing Lenaba's property!" The Pearl Dragon let out a huge roar, as if it was happy about repelling the enemy.

But the next moment, he found himself entangled in a glowing energy net. The net emitted a silvery glow like moonlight. It looked very fragile, but it was extremely tough.

Nemesis threw out one [Moon Net] after another, constantly binding the Pearl Dragon's body. The binding force brought by this five-ring magic was very strong. Unless one possessed a powerful and terrifying evil aura like the Vampire General, it would be difficult to break free by relying on huge strength alone.

Three-ring transformation spell——【Fear Spell】!
Fifth-ring necromancy spell——[Wave of Fatigue]!
While the Pearl Dragon and the Moon Web were struggling, Nemesis chanted a spell and released two spells. First, a turquoise ray hit the Pearl Dragon's scales, reducing its resistance to magic, and then a gray energy wave penetrated his body, stealing the Pearl Dragon's power.

Although the scales of an adult pearl dragon have good magic resistance, he was still weakened a lot after two spells.

"What did you do!" The weak Pearl Dragon shouted in panic. He felt his strength slipping away, and a feeling he had never experienced before came over him, a feeling of weakness.

The pearl dragon began to activate its supernatural power like crazy. The sea water rioted and produced violent waves. Huge whirlpools appeared around everyone. The adult pearl dragon exerted its [Water Control] to the limit and covered the surrounding area of ​​nearly a thousand meters.

"Calm him down." Nemesis shook his head. He still didn't give up even after all this.

The knocked-away Gafnas appeared behind the Pearl Dragon's head without anyone noticing, with her sword pointing directly at the opponent's brain. Logically speaking, this sword is smaller than a toothpick to the Pearl Dragon and poses no threat.

But at this moment, a fatal threat was coming from the sword, as if he would be completely destroyed in the next moment.
