Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 93 The Surrender of the Red Robe Mage

"Puch!"

As Loga pierced the heart of the Black Duke with a sword, the powerful vampire finally fell.

At the moment of Black Duke's death, in an underground fortress thousands of miles away, Sazas Tan opened his eyes.

"Unplanned changes. Well, the border shouldn't have enough power to resist Duke at this moment." The skinny man muttered to himself. He didn't understand who killed his loyal pet.

He stood up. There were hundreds of precious magical instruments all around him. He picked out a black transparent crystal ball and placed it in front of himself. An evil spell sounded in the silent room.

"Lothe Prophy"

Smoke filled the center of the dark crystal ball, which was held by distinct skinny fingers. A scene thousands of miles away was presented to the legendary lich.

He saw the defeat of Black Duke Duke, the red-robed wizard in desperate situation, the broken golem, and a dragon?

A giant silver dragon appeared in the reflection of the crystal ball, but what was strange was that the moment the dragon appeared, it suddenly raised its head and looked towards Sazas Tan, as if it had seen a peeping Tom.

A golden light flashed, and the crystal ball exploded with a "bang". The loss of the legendary magic weapon - [Dark Image] worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins did not shake Sazas Tan in the slightest. This legendary lich who had survived for countless years had countless precious magic weapons collected from all over the place.

"Divine power."

The lich's expression fluctuated slightly, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. As a spellcaster who has entered the legendary level, he had already witnessed the colorful secrets behind the universe. That was the power of Oghma, and he would not make a mistake.

The cunning lich instantly understood the intruder outside the chessboard, a dragon blessed by the gods.

If it were an ordinary person, he might have panicked at this time, or even wondered whether he was being watched by God, but Sazas Tan was not an ordinary person.

He calmly stretched out his fingers, and with invisible telekinesis he cleared the crystal fragments on the ground, then he quietly sat back in his chair, looking at the huge black throne in front of him.

He had long been accustomed to it. In his countless years of life, the lich viewed life as a great game that required him to look ahead and behind and make plans.

In the past, in those conspiracies he carefully planned, the interference of the gods' will was not uncommon. But he regarded this as fun, fighting with gods brought him great joy, and he would be even happier if he could prevent those gods sitting in the sky from satisfying his wishes.

"It's time to start," the lich sighed. Even though the situation was not as he wished, he had to start.

A black magic bead appeared in his palm, and then turned into a stream of light, flying to an unknown place. The black throne in front of him seemed to have perception, and thick black fog emanated from the throne, and scarlet runes lit up on the ground.

An inaudible voice came from the throne, as if calling on the lich's magic power.

"Talros Naimandor"

The lich was startled, and then a thick black beam of mana gushed out from his hand and was infused into the throne.

He raised the corners of his lips and said word by word: "No, you should call me - Sazas Tan."
-
After Nemesis dealt with the Black Duke Duke, he suddenly felt that some powerful prophecy spell was detecting him.

As a scroll dragon approaching adulthood, Nemesis possesses impeccable attainments in prophecy spells, which is one of the reasons why he can sense prophecies.

The strange thing was that just when he was about to cast [Avoid Detection] to interrupt the prophecy, the strange power of prophecy disappeared.

Nemesis' heart sank, he knew that at this moment the only one who would observe the battlefield and had the ability to observe the battlefield was the red-robed wizard.

No matter what the other party plans to do after discovering the situation on the battlefield, you must speed up.

At this time, the red-robed wizard had also discovered the ineffectiveness of the teleportation spell. He immediately realized that this was the power of the fourth-ring spell [Dimension Anchor]. Just like true knowledge to illusion wizards, Dimension Anchor was also the most hated spell by curse wizards. Without a doubt, the existence of this spell could make all creatures within the range lose the ability to teleport, and even the seventh-ring spell [Advanced Teleportation] could not escape the bad luck.

After defeating the Black Duke, Roga rushed towards the Red Robe Mage in the distance without even catching his breath. The surrounding Sesk soldiers tried to block him with their bodies, but facing a level 12 [War Shapeshifter], their strength was still too weak.

The red-robed wizard took advantage of the gap when Lorca was blocking and quickly began to cast a spell. Having lost the Black Duke, he needed to create a powerful guard to protect himself.

Just as he was about to cast a spell, a huge ball of lightning suddenly appeared beside him. The three-meter-high white energy sphere continuously emitted lightning beams. The scorching heat made the red-robed wizard sweat even through the protection of [Advanced Protection against Elemental Damage].

"Damn it." The red-robed wizard hurriedly began to chant a spell, hoping to successfully cast the spell before the defense was broken.

Seventh-ring conjuration spell—[Call the Overseer]!
A portal of mechanical gears suddenly appeared in the void, and a creature resembling a mechanical humanoid stepped out. He was wearing exquisite golden banded armor and flowing red robes, and wielded a gleaming sword.

"Who is calling the Overseer?" The mechanical creature's voice was very flat, like the sound of a clock mechanism, and it asked calmly who had summoned him.

The red-robed wizard replied immediately. As a summoner, he knew that this mechanical angel from the mechanical realm was very talkative. Although he looked aloof now, once no one gave him a task, he would immediately start talking and only care about talking without taking any action.

"It's me. I summoned you. According to the ancient agreement, you must defeat the enemy in front of me!"

The mechanical creature paused, seeming a little disappointed, but since his employer had already given him the task, he had no choice but to carry it out.

The supervisor was stunned when he saw the scroll dragon. He was not very familiar with this kind of dragon living in the mechanical realm. He was very curious why the other party appeared in the main material plane.

"Hello, Volume Dragon." The supervisor waved the giant sword in his hand and greeted the other party.

Nemesis was a little puzzled. The information about the Supervisor existed in his memory inheritance, but it was very little. He only knew that this was a monster comparable to a level 12 professional, but he didn't know the other party's specific habits and information.

Seeing that the Scroll Dragon ignored him, the Supervisor seemed to become depressed at not getting a response and lowered his black helmet.

"Purge protocol. Activate target volume dragon. Human target determined threat ranking. Target volume dragon determined."

A red light flashed in the Overseer's eyes, and mechanical sounds continued to emanate from his body. Then, he turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Nemesis without any warning.

"Tsk."

Nemesis impatiently used telekinesis to lift a huge rock and threw it at the opponent, but the supervisor easily chopped the rock into pieces with the giant sword in his hand. The vision became clear again, but the supervisor found that the target Scroll Dragon had disappeared from the spot.

The fourth ring magic——【Exile】!
The spell sounded behind the Supervisor, and a blue ray flew towards the Supervisor's back. The mechanical creature immediately rolled to the left alertly and avoided the attack of [Exile].

[Banishment] is a very powerful spell. In the spell list, only a seventh-level sorcerer can use this spell. But for priests, the power of God allows them to master the ability to expel alien creatures at the fourth level.

For these summoned creatures, [Banishment] is comparable to an instant death spell. Once they are hit, there is a chance that they will be expelled back to their original plane.

Unfortunately, the dragon the Overseer faced was a monster with overflowing spell slots. For Nemesis, who had nearly sixty fourth-level spell slots, he had no regrets about using Banishment.

One after another, beams of Banishment came towards the Overseer. Every time he tried to stop the dragon from chanting the spell, the dragon would turn into blue light and instantly teleport hundreds of meters away. After being hit by Banishment three times, the Overseer was finally unable to resist the summons of the Mechanical Realm and turned into a beam of white light and disappeared.

On the other side, facing the sudden attack from Lorgar, the red-robed wizard also had a headache. As a caster of energy, he could only use [Wall of Force] to protect himself, but [Warshaper] gave Lorgar powerful mobility. Almost all of the red-robed wizard's five-ring spell slots were contributed to [Wall of Force], which barely ensured that he was not torn to pieces.

He continuously released different levels of [Monster Summoning], trying to use these weak monsters to slow down Lorca, but these creatures were no match for Lorca. After seeing that the powerful angel he had summoned with his only remaining seven-ring spell slot was so easily solved by the giant dragon, the red-robed wizard became depressed.

In fact, this is the strength of high-level melee professionals on the battlefield. Their powerful defense and endurance allow them to almost ignore the entanglement of ordinary soldiers and approach fragile spellcasters like assassins. Unless they are protected by spells, spellcasters can easily be forced into desperate situations by these extremely fast warriors.

After being unable to fight against Nemesis, Cesk's army faced an even more terrifying spell bombardment. [Ice Cone], [Northern Wind], and [Ball Lightning] were hurled out continuously from the giant dragon's slender claws.

The howling cold current froze a large number of soldiers into sculptures, and the subsequent icy strong wind blew these sculptures away, smashing them into pieces on the ground. The blazing ball lightning was even more terrifying, continuously releasing high-temperature lightning beams among the crowd. Each time a dozen ball lightnings ricocheted, they would kill dozens of soldiers.

The undead creatures in the distance were in the same situation. Without the protection of the golem, Kanaiski and Segna were free as usual. The skeletons, zombies and even the kingdom soldiers could only fight on equal terms. How could they stop the ravages of these battlefield giants? Their fragile bones and rotten flesh were often crushed the moment they touched the huge body of the green-footed dragon snake. Even if they were lucky enough to escape the former, they would be corroded by the terrible acid spewed by the black dragon.

Cesk's soldiers fell into panic. Unlike the undead creatures, they did not feel fear. The scene of a large number of soldiers being slaughtered by magic made the survivors almost collapse and want to flee the scene.

The giant dragon floating in the sky was like an unlimited source of arcane magic, casting all kinds of powerful spells at a terrifying frequency. A fireball he cast could expand to a radius of sixty meters when charged with psychic energy and divine magic. He was clearing out Cesk's army in an extremely efficient way.

Roga had just jumped into the sky and dodged a fireball. He shouted at the dragon in the sky in frustration: "Be careful! Don't hit me!"

As for the red-robed wizard, he was already disheartened and stared in amazement at the scroll dragon in the sky casting spells. He was shocked by the dragon's powerful magic. Looking at his only two six-ring spell slots and several low-ring spell slots left, the red-robed wizard chose to bow his head and admit defeat.

"Don't kill me! I surrender!"

　Talros Naimandor was Szastan's real name in his pre-mortal days.
