Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 170 - Power Rune Feim
Feim
Feim means to disappear.

The moment it was applied to the Witch Dust and activated, the Witch Dust's form abruptly vanished from the surface world of Tamriel.

He remembered this gesture.

This is part of the [Phantom Etherealization] spell, which grants the user a period of time during which they are immune to all interference and cannot interfere with anything. In the game, this is a valuable survival tactic. While it prevents the user from interfering with the outside world during its duration, it doesn't hinder the player's tactical maneuvers or the ability to channel and charge up a spell to unleash a master-level attack the moment the effect ends.

Magic-based players especially love this skill. Wu Chen is naturally included in this category.

However, when it was actually applied to him in the real world, and he witnessed his own body fading and disappearing as if erased, all his external senses being stripped away one by one, a new idea popped into Wu Chen's mind.

This is just a banishment spell!?
In the realms of the heavens, this spell typically throws the target into the nearest astral plane. However, Mondas lacks convenient astral planes and is instead filled with realms of annihilation for demons. Furthermore, in terms of technical skill and priority, Dragon's Roar and Eyes are superior to the conventional astral banishment.

The world environment has changed as a result.

In that instant of 'disappearance,' Wu Chen did indeed detect many annihilations or secondary annihilations through his no longer-existing senses—one of which even felt slightly familiar to him. And that was most likely the library that Hera had created!
The thought flashed through my mind in an instant.

Wu Chen is not yet qualified to move freely during the 'disappearance' process.

However, he couldn't, but Mil could. The instant he unleashed his dragon roar and gaze, a predetermined destination appeared in his 'disappearance' trajectory. And the moment his senses returned, he felt his body plummeting downwards!

Flight!
He unconsciously used otherworldly magic. However, the spell that should have allowed him to soar through the skies only turned his rapid descent into a slow, floating descent—the laws of the Holy Spirit still governed this area. This was still the continent of Tamriel, not the annihilation domain of some Daedric Prince or Lesser Daedric Prince!

'Puff—' The sound was light and faint.

The sole of the foot made a successful, light touch on the ground. The sense of smell, returning after the touch, detected the stench of blood and decay. A slight burning heat lingered on the tip of the tongue. Then, a dilapidated, old house came into view as the eyes reopened.

The transfer is complete.

Before me lay a closed room. A carpet covered the floor, and dust piled up on the bed and chairs. The window, not far away, was reinforced with layers of nailed wooden strips. Through the gaps in the strips, the view was extremely blurry.

Interesting. It was clearly a high-speed fall of at least several hundred meters, yet the point of impact was within a perfectly sealed chamber with an intact ceiling. There seemed to be a slight misalignment between perception and reality. And perhaps this is a characteristic, an effect, of interdimensional travel.

His eyes swept over.

The room appeared to be located within a small building. Outside the window, in the square, a large bonfire blazed with piles of firewood—some things, possibly human, lay curled up and motionless beside the fire. It was unclear whether they were alive or dead.

It's death.

Divine vision, open.

Those figures huddled near the campfire were undoubtedly malevolent entities opposed to divine power. Their forms existed only in martial arts techniques and were not revealed in life-detection spells. And the undead, wielding dark and evil forces, were clearly not categorized by Wu Chen as beings he could negotiate with.

—I thought I had stumbled into the Bloodborne universe.

—But then again, where would dragons come from in Bloodborne?

Her fingers twitched. Mil had already paid the fee for the commission ahead of schedule—the dragon scale emblem etched on the back of her hand had changed from one to two. And the power rune Feim had become Wu Chen's property.

Feim disappeared.

Even without activating it, Wu Chen sensed its passive effect—his stealth and concealment abilities were greatly enhanced upon activation of the rune. He could even significantly reduce his presence with just a little focus.

It cannot yet be compared to 'Z's' stealth ability, which allows him to vanish instantly. However...

"We've already reached that level."

The sound flowed from the throat.

This is a secret room, a safe house that was used and then abandoned. And just now, when Wu Chen used his Divine Vision, he discovered that just outside the door, separated by only one wall, something malevolent was moving in what might be a corridor.

It should have heard Wu Chen's voice. But it ignored Wu Chen's words and continued its mechanical patrol.

So--

Wu Chen stretched out his hand.

The compass given to him by Hera was in his palm. And the pointer, formed from a finger bone, was now pointing in a certain direction, constantly swaying up and down slightly.

Callisto is there.

This is indeed where it hides.

The compass was put away, and as the information was confirmed, the suppressed Origin Theory began to operate again. The mind and body became more active and agile as a result. Then, a large number of beneficial lights flashed one by one, and as the patrolling evildoers crossed the corridor again, Wu Chen reached out his hand to touch the door.

A sharp, dry sound of a door hinge turning rang out.

However, the patrolling evil spirit remained completely unresponsive—Witch Dust saw it; it was a Windhelm City guard who, from behind, resembled a robust man. He wore no helmet, his exposed skin roughly the same size as cracked, dry trees. A dark, obscure power swirled around its body, its energy sharing similarities with that of Callisto and Gerd.

It's a vampire.

The lowest level can even be considered as a vampire who failed to be transformed.

Its steps were unsteady, and a low, frantic growl escaped its throat. Its patrol had once again reached the end of the corridor.

A single burst of light could easily suffice to deal with it. This was an established fact that required no verification. Such low-level vampires were weak monsters that could be easily destroyed with low-level holy magic. However, for Wu Chen, there was another matter he could attend to.

"Remedios".

Alliance Mark, activate one.

The Grand Master of the Holy Knights, clad in exquisite holy armor, appeared around Wu Chen along with her holy sword. Her delicate, heroic face, which in some situations was even quite cute, retained its beauty as always, but her resolute eyes were now filled with indifference.

Her form was shaped by the magic.

Her feet touched the ground, and the force of her impact exploded the instant her feet touched solid ground—the knight's swift form swept past the weak vampire and then returned at the same speed. As she returned to Wu Chen's side, the shattered vampire corpse tumbled down the dusty corridor.

The sound was quite loud.

Immediately, bloodthirsty roars erupted from many rooms inside the small building—weak and slightly less weak degraded vampires swarmed out, but Wu Chen ignored them and simply stepped forward.

'Crack—' The body was sliced ​​apart.

'Bang—' Flesh and blood turned to mush.

He moved forward, while Remedios protected him as he went on a killing spree. The corrupted vampires were wiped out in an instant. Wu Chen also successfully descended from the third floor to the first floor.

Something appeared in Wu Chen's eyes.

It was a coat of arms, adorning a tapestry. Wu Chen chose it because it depicted a ferocious dragon in red and black.

—Auduin?

The first thought that popped into his mind was that of a world-devourer. However, Wu Chen immediately dismissed it. Because he quickly found the corresponding thing deep in his memory.

"This is... the emblem of the Ebony Heart Covenant."

"Relics from the Second Era?"
