Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Three duels.

The Thousand Lakes City coalition suffered two consecutive defeats.
With one captured and the other seriously wounded, they found themselves in a passive position.

However, the battle still has great suspense. The cultivation of the Third Elder, Blood Omar, is considered to be no less than that of the Second Elder, and his overall combat ability is recognized as second only to the First Elder, making him the second strongest in Thousand Lakes City!
"Dark Curse Blood Feather!"

Omar launched the first attack.

Hundreds of blood feathers containing powerful energy were released from the wings on its back.

Each blood feather is not a physical entity but is created by blood magic. If you look closely, you will find that it is covered with magical runes and exudes a powerful aura.

Blood feathers contain immense energy.

It is no less powerful than a tactical missile.

When thrown out in one go like darts.

Its destructive power is enough to easily tear apart most fifth-tier spell defenses!
Even if one can use powerful defensive spells to block the destructive force, the accompanying poison and weakening curses are enough to cause fatal effects in an instant or dismantle the combat ability of a fifth-tier expert.

Omar simply struck casually.

It actually has such power.

Its sheer power is therefore self-evident.

Meng Bai instantly saw through the mystery contained in the Dark Curse Blood Feather and realized that ordinary defensive spells could not prevent this attack, so he immediately activated a spatial teleportation spell to teleport.

however.

No matter where Mengbai appears.

These densely packed blood feathers will soon turn around and catch up.

This attack was not only extremely dense and fast, but it also had the ability to lock onto and track targets.

Seeing that it was difficult to dodge, Meng Bai simply stopped dodging and appeared on the ground. Then, she slowly raised her hands and used a special magic, causing a gentle yet powerful force field to bloom around her.

next moment.

The dark cursed blood feathers that enveloped everything from all directions were all repelled by a strange force.

These blood-red feathers kept moving at high speed around Meng Bai's body, but they could never get within a foot of Meng Bai. With a wave of his hand, Meng Bai gathered them all on the top of his head to form a shuttlecock.

Here, take it back!

Meng Bai activated the spell once again.

The surface of these hundreds of "Dark Curse Blood Feathers" was covered with a large number of golden magic runes, which were then reflected back.

Omar's expression changed slightly as he activated his blood magic. A beam of light struck the shuttlecock in mid-air, causing it to deviate from its course and fall into the distant mountains and forests. The violent explosion immediately created a blood-red mushroom cloud.

The exchange between the two sides was very brief.

So much so that everyone else at the scene looked completely bewildered.

"The Third Elder's attack missed the Second Elder?"

"Not only did it miss, it bounced back! What kind of magic is this?"

There were quite a few mages with profound magical skills present, but only Artus and Vesalos saw through the trick. This was partly because the two had extremely deep magical skills, and partly because they had seen the prototype of this magic before.

"Could it be Tops' force field?"

"Not bad. Although the modifications are significant, it should be Tops' force field. I didn't expect Elder Asarand to be able to utilize this technique to such an extent!"

"This is practically a completely different magic from the original!"

"It's not just about Tops' force field; it also incorporates a golden return strategy to enhance the rebound effect!"

"..."

Tops' force field.

This is magic from Lienia, the border lake.

It was created by Tops, a genius magician who was known as "Waste Stone".

In the secret realm, this magic manifests as the ability to perfectly deflect all other magic and prayers.

It doesn't confront other magical attacks head-on, but rather uses a strategy of using minimal force to deflect them. Therefore, it can deflect even spells one level higher, and in extreme cases, it can even be effective against spells two levels higher.

Of course, the rebound field of this technique can only be maintained for a very short time in the secret realm.

This makes it not very practical in actual combat at border areas, but its spell principles and ideas are of great value.

When this skill stone appeared in Miracle City, many skilled mages, including Artus, Visalos, and Nancy, actively researched the spell, hoping to use it as inspiration to develop more practical and useful spells.

As expected of the legendary prophetic ancient dragon.

Mengbai has succeeded in such a short time.

She not only fully mastered the principles of the Tops force field, but also improved and upgraded it, developing a magical version of Tai Chi that can deflect enemy offensive spells in actual combat and even use the opponent's force against them.

Blood Omar launched several blood magic attacks in succession.

Without exception, all of them were defended by Meng Bai's "Meng Bai Force Field".

"How is the magic of Miracle City? There are countless spells or methods in Miracle City that are more advanced than this. That's why I say it's extremely foolish of you to be enemies with Miracle City. Only by embracing and pledging allegiance to Miracle City will you have a bright future!"

"Shameless talk!"

Omar couldn't quite understand the magical methods of Miracle City.

He decided to change his strategy. His body liquefied on the spot and then split apart, dividing into two, then four, and finally into ten.

All ten Omars wielded two blood-red rapiers.

A total of twenty swords were simultaneously deployed.

Meng Bai narrowed her eyes slightly: "Some kind of blood magic? But I also know a little bit of clone magic!"

While talking.

Make a hand seal gesture.

Meng Bai whispered, "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

A series of smoke and sounds arose, and one Mengbai instantly multiplied into dozens of clones, even more than Omar in terms of the number of clones alone. This scene left everyone else dumbfounded.

The ten OMAs began to move at high speed.

Brilliant streaks of blood-red sword light intertwined in mid-air, crisscrossing and increasing in number, transforming into a net that surrounded the Mengbais from all directions in the blink of an eye.

Change tactics.

Are you preparing to use martial arts?

Before Mengbai could think further...

These crimson sword lights, which had transformed from the Heavenly Net into a death storm, began to shrink.

Whoosh!
A sword light flashed across Meng Bai's body.

The first white shadow clone was completely powerless to resist and instantly exploded into a cloud of smoke. Then came the second and the third, and the number of white clones decreased at an extremely rapid pace.

Mengbai's ninjutsu skills are not very high.

Shadow clones have very few usable techniques.

Unable to defend against such a sharp and rapid attack.

The crisscrossing crimson sword lights tore through space like lasers, and their numbers continued to increase, covering the entire space in the blink of an eye. Each sword light tore through the air and remained suspended.

When hundreds or thousands of sword lights contract simultaneously, it's like a meat grinder with countless blades, generating enough terrifying power to completely shred everything within.

In an instant.

Dozens of newbies.

They were all shredded by the sword light.

The elders of Thousand Lakes City were all astonished and shocked.

Blood Omar has always been known for his powerful blood magic, and we've never seen him use any martial arts techniques. But now it seems that this guy not only possesses powerful martial arts techniques, but he's also at a top-tier level!

In an instant, a continuous, high-density barrage of cuts descended.

Meng Bai was put on the defensive. When her last few clones were torn apart in the resistance, she could not sit idly by and wait for death. Instead, she reacted immediately, and her small figure instantly expanded several hundred times!
A giant dragon, over eighty meters long and covered in crystal-clear scales that looked like it was carved from the finest crystal gemstones, appeared in the center of the battlefield. This was Meng Bai's true form as the Ancient Prophet Dragon!
Mengbai attacks in dragon form, greatly enhancing both its attack and defense capabilities.

The blood-red sword light continuously struck Meng Bai, slashing her over a hundred times in the blink of an eye.

Most of these attacks were blocked by the dragon scales and did not cause fatal damage, but they did leave some cuts. If the attacks continued like this, even the powerful dragon body would not be able to withstand it.

"Go away!"

The giant white claw slammed into the ground, and the resulting shockwave and dragon might slowed down the speed of the surrounding sword light. Then it spewed out a ball of scorching dragon flame.

boom!
The dragon flame was pure white and radiated a bright aura. It poured out like a waterfall, instantly evaporating hundreds of sword lights, thus creating a flaw in the all-encompassing sword energy array.

This mysterious, elegant, and beautiful dragon soared hundreds of meters into the air.

"You can't run!"

Omar urged the remaining sword light to give chase, but Mengbai was not to be outdone. He grabbed at the air with his two dragon claws, and thousands of red lightning bolts condensed in his claws, turning into two giant lightning dragon spears that were a hundred meters long.

The dragon swooped down and thrust out its Dragon Thunder Spear.

The lightning exploded and collided with the sword light.

The two canceled each other out at an extremely fast speed, eventually disappearing completely. Meng Bai then unleashed a burst of dragon flame, instantly destroying all of Omar's clones, leaving only the original body to be blasted away and crash to the ground in a sorry state.

"impossible!"

Omar rose from a large crater. Facing the ancient dragon, its claws crackling with red dragon lightning and standing majestically in mid-air, his expression was filled with anger and disbelief.

How could you possibly have such power?

The Prophet Ancient Dragon's most powerful attack is Pure Dragonfire. In addition, it is proficient in the four conventional magic elements, plus a certain degree of spatial ability. This red dragon lightning is a completely unprecedented type of dragon magic.

Of course, Omar didn't know.

This red dragon lightning is no ordinary dragon lightning.

This lightning comes from the Dragon King Platonssanks of the borderlands. Meng Bai treasured this ability after obtaining it. Although other races can also use this magic, the power of the dragons is greatly amplified when they use it.

The stronger the dragon bloodline.

The stronger the amplification effect of Dragon Thunder.

As the highest-ranking dragon, Meng Bai was perfectly suited for the Ancient Dragon Lightning, which gave her a powerful means to destroy cities and defeat enemies, even though her attack power was not outstanding to begin with!
"Is this all the strength Blood Omar has?"

Meng Bai's massive body suddenly vanished into thin air, instantly teleporting behind Omar. It gripped the Dragon Thunder with its claws and slammed it down, unleashing its violent power and instantly blasting a giant crater with a radius of tens of meters into the ground in front of it.

"too frightening!"

"The Second Elder is actually this strong?"

"How is the Third Elder? Could he have already...?"

Although Mengbai's dragon lightning was extremely destructive, killing Blood Omar was not so easy. Blood began to seep from the huge crater, and it filled the crater in a very short time. A blood-red giant slowly stood up from it.

This blood giant was over thirty meters tall, with ferocious horns on its head and black patterns all over its body. It was like a demon god descending to earth. The pressure and aura it exuded alone made everyone present tremble with fear.

Artus exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of magic is this?"

Visalos said in a deep voice, "This is an extremely rare forbidden secret technique of the vampires. Only a very few top vampires can use it. When transformed into the Blood Demon King state, one is almost invincible for a short period of time."

Omar's aura in his Blood Demon King form was even stronger than before.

At this moment, it is completely comparable to a top-tier rare combat force of the fifth rank and five stars.

Even if this level of strength were placed in the various secret realms of Miracle City, it would be the strongest that adventurers have encountered at this stage, even stronger than the Golden Law Faradagan of the border region. One can imagine the basic power it can unleash.

Meng Bai teleported in and his lightning spear transformed into a longsword, slashing swiftly. The Dragon Lightning Blade pierced through the Blood Demon King's body, instantly splitting the massive form in two. Terrifying red electricity crackled around his entire body, but the Blood Demon King Omar showed no reaction whatsoever, instead delivering a punch to Meng Bai with his own.

boom!
A loud bang!
Meng Bai was sent flying hundreds of meters away.

The entire mountain forest was razed to the ground on the spot.

Blood Demon King Omar grinned maliciously: "It's useless. All your attacks are ineffective against me!"

Meng Bai was slightly injured, but not too seriously. She had already realized that in his Blood Demon King form, Omar was immune to physical damage and common magical elemental damage.

This guy was definitely hiding a lot of strength!
If I hadn't been to Miracle City, I really wouldn't be a match for him!

Blood Demon King Omar could not maintain his current state for long, so he decided to finish the battle quickly. However, before he could make a move, countless red dragon lightning bolts rained down from the sky, many of which pierced his body like raindrops.

madness!

What a waste of effort!

Although this red lightning is much more destructive than ordinary lightning, it cannot cause any harm to me at this moment. Such an attack is simply a waste of effort.

Just as they were preparing to counterattack...

A burning sensation emanating from the soul came from all directions of the body.

"What's going on? What is this?!"

Omar discovered that a strange black flame had appeared on the part of his body where he had been hit. Logically speaking, flames are also elemental energy and should not affect the Blood Demon King's body. However, when these flames appeared on his body, he felt a pain and burning sensation from the depths of his soul.

This is not an ordinary flame!
Or rather, it's not a flame.

This is the power of a predetermined death!
During his adventure in Miracle City, Meng Bai obtained the Death Rune from the Black Sword Maricus. This rune can be directly applied to one's body and activated when needed.

Once the Death Rune is activated.

Mengbai can infuse the power of destined death into her attacks.

This power can ignore defenses and various immunity states, so even Omar in his Blood Demon King form will be injured when struck by the dragon lightning containing the destiny of death.

"Damn it! Damn it! I'm going to kill you!"

Blood Demon King Omar's body was gradually being consumed by black and red flames, but he had already gone mad, so he continued to advance, trying to kill Mengbai before his condition collapsed.

Although Fated Death can directly cause damage, Meng Bai's ability to unleash the power of Fated Death is insufficient to completely defeat Blood Demon King Omar.

Meng Bai then immediately deactivated his dragon form.

It returned to human form.

He suddenly had a knife in his hand.

This is an ancient samurai sword with a dark red blade, shrouded in a faint blood mist. It is none other than the Mortal Blade, Tear of the Ashina Kingdom!

This is a rare treasure of the third tier!

Even though Ashina has been cleared thousands of times!

There are only about twenty Immortal Blade Tear in the entire Miracle City!
This knife has extremely high collectible value, and many adventurers are willing to pay astronomical prices for it. It is also a very valuable and rare divine weapon!

This "Tears of the Goddess" was borrowed by Meng Bai from Bi An Hua.

It is the first Undying Blade in Miracle City. After many enhancements, its rank has now broken through, making it the only fourth-tier Undying Blade in Miracle City. It can directly and completely kill dark creatures!

Mengbai activated Instant Teleportation.

A knife pierced the Blood Demon King's chest.

The Mortal Blade can directly kill the undead, and the Blood Demon King was also within this range at the moment. Therefore, the moment he was hit by the Mortal Blade, he could no longer maintain his state, and his thirty-meter-tall giant body collapsed with a bang.

Omar was utterly defeated.

The power has been completely exhausted.

He landed awkwardly on the ground, his face filled with terror and horror.

He even used his trump card, but he still lost to Meng Bai, who had prepared more than one way to counter him.

now.

The secret technique was forcibly broken.

Its backlash rendered Omar completely incapable of resisting.

Artus said, "The outcome is decided. Three battles, three defeats—you have lost!!"

The other elders of the Thousand Lakes City Allied Forces looked at each other in disbelief. They were all shocked by the battle. They had not expected Omar to be so strong, nor had they expected the Second Elder, Asarand, to be so powerful.

The dwarven chieftain Leijiu immediately stepped forward and said, "Since this is fate, then we are willing to accept our defeat..."

"No!"

Despite losing the ability to resist, Omar...

But clearly they haven't given up on launching this war.

He shouted, "Once Miracle City rises, you will all be enslaved. Today is your only chance. If you give up, you will never be able to fight against Miracle City again!"

Several elders showed hesitation.

They clearly did not want to submit to Miracle City and accept human rule.

Judging from the performance of Artus, Vesalos, and Asarand, they have made such great changes and breakthroughs in just a short period of time in Miracle City. The foundation and strength of Miracle City may be far greater than imagined!

Can we really take it down?
Just as these people were caught in a dilemma.

Meng Bai: "Even in this state, you still dare to try to instigate a war? Since that's the case, you can't be allowed to live. Let's settle things here today!"

Omar sneered, "Killing me would make you an enemy of the Crimson Feather tribe, and this would be a blood feud that will never end!"

The Crimson Blood Tribe is the most powerful tribe in Thousand Lakes City, possessing several fifth-tier powerhouses, a large army, and numerous subordinate tribes.

If Mengbai kills Omar in public.

This will inevitably cause internal strife in Thousand Lakes City, a situation that will be difficult to resolve.

Meng Bai coldly replied, "Omar, stop pretending. We have ample reason and sufficient evidence that you have already fallen into the clutches of the Eternal Night Dragon King!"

"what?"

"Has the Third Elder fallen from grace?"

"How could this be!"

"..."

Meng Bai did not explain to everyone that she had gone to such great lengths to severely injure Omar but not kill him, just so that she could have the opportunity to reveal his identity to everyone.

otherwise.

Killing one Omar is easy.

But once you've killed them, it's hard to clean up the mess!

Meng Bai took out an ancient bronze mirror, which was borrowed from the other shore flower. It was an ancient demon-subduing mirror that had flowed out of the Sui and Tang world, and its effect was to break through disguises and see through the essence.

Omar's fall from grace was very subtle.

Normally, even with this ancient mirror, its power would not be enough to expose Omar.

However, Omar has already been severely injured and lost the ability to resist. At this moment, he has no chance to fight against the Demon-Subduing Mirror. Therefore, it is easy to break through its disguise and reveal its hidden true nature.

The moment Mengbai activated the Demon-Subduing Mirror and shone it on Omar.

Omar's originally red hair has now turned gray-white, and his skin has become as pale as wax. Multiple parts of his body have undergone abnormalities, emanating the unique aura of the dark race.

Everyone was shocked.

It truly has the aura of a dark species.

He had actually been corrupted by the Eternal Night Dragon King.

"The reason why Omar instigated the war was simply to hope that Thousand Lakes City and Miracle City would fight to the death, so that he could take down both Thousand Lakes City and Miracle City at the same time in one fell swoop!"

Meng Bai announced to everyone: "The operation against Qianhu City has likely already begun. Qianhu City is now in imminent danger, and the consequences would be unimaginable if we cannot send reinforcements in time!"

Done.

He kicked Omar back.

She calmly said, "The choice is now in your hands: continue your advance on Miracle City and fight a battle you can't win, or turn back and defend Thousand Lakes City!"

The elders' faces turned extremely grim.

"Omar!"

"did not expect!"

"You actually became a traitor!"

"This war against Miracle City was instigated by you..."

Faced with such a situation.

Omar knew he had completely lost.

If his identity as a traitor within the Dark Race had not been exposed, there would still be room for maneuver. But under the current circumstances, he is completely powerless to stop it from happening.

This so-called duel.

It was a ruse from the very beginning.

Meng Bai knew she wouldn't keep her promise and would continue to push the war forward even if she lost all three battles. Her real purpose wasn't to gamble, but to take the opportunity to get close to and deplete her power, thus making it impossible for her to conceal the dark aura within her.

"Hahaha!"

"Too late!"

"Thousand Lakes City is completely finished!"

"The Dark Elf High Priest and several Dark Commanders of the City of Eternal Night have already taken up residence!"

Omar laughed wildly.

An elder was both shocked and furious: "With the Grand Elder still here, how could a mere Dark Race member easily enter the city!"

Omar laughed even more wildly: "Pathetic fools, that old thing has fought so many battles with His Majesty the Eternal Night Dragon King, do you really think His Majesty can't defeat this old thing? He has absorbed too much of His Majesty's dark aura, and has already completed his transformation one step ahead of me!"

Everyone was completely shocked.

Could it really be as Meng Bai said?

Is this military deployment a ploy to lure the enemy away from their stronghold?
If these hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed in the territory as before, they could hold out for a while and forcefully hold out until the end of the Dark Ages, even if a very bad situation occurred.

But at this moment.

Omar used the pretext of suppressing and attacking Miracle City.

He withdrew a large number of elite troops in one go, leaving the defenses of Thousand Lakes City extremely weak.

Even so, with the mysterious and powerful Grand Elder and the massive defense and formation systems, there shouldn't be any problem in withstanding it.

What is most frightening is...

The Grand Elder also fell and was completely transformed into the Dark Ones.

If that's the case, Eternal Night City could take over the entire Thousand Lakes City region with almost no effort; it would be as easy as taking candy from a baby.

"You bastard! Die!"

The dwarf Lei Jiu was now furious.

He took the lead and chopped off Omar's head with an axe. (End of Chapter)
