I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"Each monitor can cover an area of ​​about 110 square kilometers. Originally, it was expected that thirty monitors would be more than enough."

Xue Jing turned on the monitor and let it take root in the soil on its own.

"But now, the monitoring equipment is clearly far from enough... The primary mission to enter this border area has failed."

Xue Jing shook his head.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. Let's kill all the dragons first. At worst, we can find a way to kill that 'Dragon God'. Once the core creature is dead, the border area will stop changing, and then we won't need the monitoring device anymore."

……

(I'm so engrossed in watching MSI... I haven't watched any matches in ages.)

Chapter 155 GOD1108, Shadowflame Lv6, Shadow Slayer Technique to Slay a Dragon (4K)

outside world.

Inside the tent, Dr. Shen Da looked at the small mirror in Xu Ren's hands, who had just returned to the camp, with curiosity in his eyes.

"This mirror is [GOD-1108]?"

He subconsciously reached out towards the mirror, somewhat unable to resist touching and examining it.

As researchers, we naturally possess a desire for exploration far exceeding that of ordinary people.

The existence of divine relics, which transcend the laws of the world, holds an extraordinary attraction for any researcher, especially someone like him who specializes in exploring the intersection of different fields.

"To be precise, it's not this mirror."

Xu Ren spoke calmly.

"The mirror itself is just an ordinary mirror, nothing special. What's special is what's hidden inside the mirror."

"【GOD-1108·The Man in the Mirror】".

Dr. Shen took the mirror from Xu Ren's hand and looked at it. His reflection was visible in the mirror.

He reached out and tapped the mirror, making a crisp sound, and asked curiously:

"I've seen quite a few 'strange' artifacts, but this is the first time I've come into close contact with a 'biological' artifact."

"This type of divine relic generally possesses extraordinary danger, in addition to having its own consciousness..."

Before Dr. Shen could finish speaking, the scene in the mirror suddenly changed.

In the mirror, he saw a little figure on his shoulder.

He appeared to be around eleven or twelve years old, a handsome little boy with tired and impatient eyes.

The boy was about ten centimeters tall, wearing a set of children's pajamas embroidered with cartoon bears, and holding a small pillow. He looked like a little fairy from a myth.

"Hey, don't knock on people's doors when they're sleeping, it's so noisy."

The little boy spoke up in dissatisfaction, his voice clearly coming from the mirror.

Dr. Shen scratched his head: "Sorry."

He turned to look at his shoulder in reality, but there was no little boy like in the mirror there.

"The people in the mirror are the opposite of us; they can be described as strange life forms that live in a mirror image."

"It's a fake blade," Xu Ren said.

"It has the ability to move among all 'mirrors': glass, crystals, water... anywhere that is conceptually related to mirrors, it can enter, including the 'Mirror World'."

"Let it enter the Roaring Waterfall and inform Xue Jing of his current situation."

The person in the mirror rubbed their eyes and said in a childish voice:

"Entering the [Mirror World] is also a dangerous thing for me. It is in a 'superior' position to me, and once I enter it, I cannot get out on my own."

"Are you really sure that Xue Jing can break through the Mirror World? You're not lying to me?"

The boy in the mirror looked doubtful on his handsome face.

"Xue Jing is the elite among the elites of our Sixth Agency," Xu Ren replied without changing his expression or flustering his tone.

"As long as he understands his situation, he will definitely be able to solve the problem, don't worry."

The person in the mirror crossed their arms and snorted softly, "I don't know how many times I've been fooled by you humans, but I won't easily believe this."

It paused for a moment, then continued, "However, I had no choice... That little girl Wu Youqing promised me that if I helped her this time, she would give me my freedom. She's a rare person who keeps her word, so I'll trust her for now."

"Similarly, let's also believe Xue Jing, whom she believes in."

"Let's go, there's no time to lose, take me there."

Dr. Shen thought for a moment and said, "Don't you need to sleep a little longer?"

He wanted to study the divine relic a little longer.

The little boy standing on his shoulder in the mirror glared at him: "I'm a light sleeper and easily woken up. Once I'm awake, I can't fall back asleep. Don't you understand what insomnia is? And you dress up so nicely, pretending to be an intellectual."

Dr. Shen said awkwardly, "I suppose I can be considered a doctor..."

……

This country lies within the border region.

On a rather rugged road, a group of more than a dozen people, carrying various kinds of daruka, were walking forward.

"My lady, please don't walk so fast. If you get too far away from me, I won't be able to protect you in time."

A middle-aged man looked at Renia, who was walking ahead with her head down, and said in a calm voice.

"With your current strength, which hasn't even tamed a single dragon, you could probably be killed by any random [thumb-level] Daruka..."

"Please don't be willful. Value your precious life and don't make things difficult for us servants."

“The time you sneaked out the other day, we were given a real dressing down by the Shaman Lord.”

Upon hearing this, Renia pursed her lips, but merely slowed her pace and obediently replied, "Oh..."

Her obedient demeanor only brought disappointment to the middle-aged man's face.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he only sighed.

"This is the last time our patrol will help you. If we still can't tame the dragon, then you..."

Renia lowered her head, making her expression unreadable: "I know this is the fate of a priestess, and I am prepared to dedicate myself to the Dragon God at any time."

Her voice was calm, revealing no emotion.

The middle-aged man fell silent.

“...I see that the priestess is tired. There is a stream ahead, and the Darukas need to drink water. Let’s rest there for a while.”

A middle-aged woman with a gentle appearance spoke up.

"It's strange, we've been searching for so long and haven't seen a single dragon. Long-tailed dragons, red-scaled dragons, and big-whiskered dragons... they should all be in this area."

Renia spread her hands innocently and said, "Maybe they were all summoned by the Dragon God to Roaring Falls for a family dinner?"

……

A group of more than ten people came to the stream to rest.

Renia, carrying a puppy-like creature named Daruka, walked to the stream to wash her face.

The crystal-clear stream flowed continuously downstream, with several small fish hiding among the crevices of the rocks at the bottom.

Renia put the puppy down beside her and let it drink water on its own, while she squatted down herself.

Her delicate and charming appearance was reflected in the water. She scooped up a handful of stream water and soaked her face.

The cool and comfortable feeling brought her a sense of relief, and the restlessness in her heart dissipated considerably.

Rhea wiped the water off her face and opened her eyes.

Then, she suddenly noticed that something seemed to have appeared in the reflection on the clear water.

In the water above her head... it seemed like there was a tiny person sitting on her head, swinging their little feet.

Renia was taken aback: "What is that?"

……

On a certain mountain peak, Xue Jing was hiding behind a huge rock.

At this moment, he looked somewhat disheveled, his black tactical uniform torn and tattered, with the tears showing a charred and twisted appearance.

Her medium-length black hair was slightly curled, as if it had been slicked back by fire.

Most of the exposed skin was also bright red, and some areas even had blisters.

He pushed up his glasses, peeked out from behind the large rock, and looked up at the sky.

A dragon, its body entirely crimson, its scales ablaze with flames, stretching over ten meters long, with wings on its back, and resembling a giant dragon from Western legends, was circling in the sky.

"This is a bit tricky. The fire that this dragon spews is too hot... and it seems to have some strange magical properties. The armor formed by the shadow flames melted instantly."

Xue Jing looked thoughtful.

"Should we engage it in ranged combat? Or..."

He opened the panel and took a look.

[Possessing Divinity: 1249]

After killing the strange fish-dragon in the lake, he killed two more dragons, each one more difficult than the last.

The fire dragon we're encountering now is the third one, and it's positioned a circle closer to the center than the strange fish-dragon.

Its combat power is also proportional to its position, far exceeding that of the monster fish dragon species. After the battle started, Xue Jing was accidentally hit by a breath of dragon fire, and his Shadow Flame Armor was melted.

If he hadn't activated his Twin Speed ​​in time and run fast enough to escape the dragon's breath attack range, he would have suffered more than just these minor burns.

"The current divinity is enough to upgrade Shadowflame by one level, raising it to Lv6."

"Should I get promoted?" Xue Jing asked hesitantly.

He actually wanted to use this divinity to elevate the concept of "fitness".
