They don't want me to try anymore.

I was overwhelmed by the fear of having to extend my studies again...

To be honest, it's hard to guarantee that it won't fall apart again until the first draft is finished...

Chapter 115 Is she a dragon?

Richard had a fairly clear understanding of his own talents.

In all those simulations, he never broke through the Gold level. Generally speaking, this means that without using cheats to level up, his limit is the peak of Silver.

So what's going on? Why did it suddenly upgrade?

Hundreds of wronged spirits have taken up residence in your body, bringing you a great deal of death power.

You sensed their hatred, hatred directed at the Highland Legion.

You looked around and saw the numerous alchemical tools in the laboratory with dubious uses, and you understood everything.

Oh open!

I knew it was impossible for so many undead creatures with such a high level of selflessness to just appear out of nowhere; they were all victims after all!

Moreover, they are mostly special species that have been modified by the Highland Legion, but they were just trapped deep in the laboratory before...

In a sense, my current Gold-rank Death Knight is actually a collection of a large group of undead creatures, right?

it is good.

Since we have a common enemy, let's unite!

The wicked villain is killed by his own out-of-control experimental subject—what a classic plot!

You flew back above the fortress.

Albert and Jared both looked at you like you'd seen a ghost...

Yes, the description is quite objective.

Unfortunately, there was no reward.

Next... taste the flames of the vengeful spirit!

Without further ado, you launched an attack on the two of them in the guise of a Gold-rank Undead Knight.

Your sword burns with soul-devouring white flames, bone wings filled with the aura of death flap behind you, every breath you take is a piercing shriek of the undead, and your summoner talent allows you to summon vengeful spirits at will...

[Because you were fighting two opponents alone, trapped in a desperate situation, and determined to kill them, several traits were triggered...]

Meanwhile, you discover that your attacks seem to have a damage bonus against Jared...

That's the right thing to do!

Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor!

Richard, outside the simulation, was overjoyed.

You fought with increasing vigor and gained the upper hand.

Soon after, Jared was cleaved in two by your sword, his soul torn apart and devoured by your friends within him. Seeing the situation was dire, Albert turned and retreated.

The Imperial army retreated in panic, leaving you the only dead man inside the fortress.

[You have achieved victory. It won't be long before news of your slaying of a legion commander spreads throughout the continent, bringing your legendary story to a new peak.]

But you've also exhausted your strength.

The souls that merged with you began to disintegrate. Some remained where they were, some flew to the horizon, and some went to towns near the fortress, where you could faintly hear cries.

...It seems that some of the victims are actually Imperial citizens living nearby.

Richard realized that he still lacked some understanding of the Highland Legion's bottom line.

Whatever.

It's better to be able to return to one's homeland in the end than to be forgotten in this dilapidated fortress.

You did not stop the wronged souls from leaving.

As they departed, your power waned, falling below the gold level, and your barely formed body crumbled into pieces.

You are inevitably going to die completely.

It was indeed a flash in the pan, a last gasp before the flame died down?

It's time to go.

Richard was once again ready to welcome the end of the simulation.

At this moment, a second sun appeared in the sky; you recognized it as a giant fireball that was gradually approaching.

The Second Prince, or rather, His Majesty the New Emperor's secret weapon?

There are so many familiar faces.

I guess I only made an appearance because I drove away two Gold Saints and Bengbu was occupied...

Forget it, destroy it.

You close your eyes, just like a corpse, quietly awaiting death.

But just as the "sun" was about to descend upon the fortress and burn you to ashes, a resounding dragon roar echoed from afar.

A gigantic black dragon flew over, spreading its wings and obscuring the "sun."

[Then, you witnessed a battle that was at least legendary.]

The dragon wins, the "sun" goes out.

Huh?

The dragon landed on the ruins of the fortress and transformed into human form in the light.

Huh! !

The system provides a character portrait next to it.

White hair and red eyes... Richard recognized her at a glance. This was his partner from the first simulation, the mysterious Miss Elsa!

Unlike their first meeting, Elsa now has curved horns on her head, black wings that spread out like flames on her back, and she is dressed in black and red armor, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.

So she's a dragon?

Moreover, it is a dragon powerful enough to rival the gods?

Wait a minute, so what about the dragon in the third simulation, and those other inexplicable rewards...?

Richard was shocked.

"...Hmph, still the same idiot as always."

The dragon, disguised as a human, looked at you, knelt down on one knee, and stroked your skull, which was about to crack, saying, "But it's alright, I'm almost there to find the perfect way to escape. Then you stupid insect won't suffer like this every time..."

As the sun sets, you can sense that although her tone is proud, her eyes conceal sadness and determination.

You turned to ashes in her company.

This simulation has ended.

Richard opened his eyes, his consciousness returning to his bedroom in Connaught Palace.

The familiar feeling of drowsiness washed over Richard again, but he didn't want to just lie down and go to sleep.

He carefully savored the final scene of the simulation...

Elsa... It's so good to see you again.

I never expected you to be a dragon! And you were able to casually send away a fireball that even the legendary-rank Luvia would have trouble dealing with!

As the clues from the previous simulations connected, a name came to Richard's mind.

Isabella!

Elsa is an alias; her true identity is most likely that of the Scourge Wing!

Only an ancient dragon that is only half a step away from godhood could have such power, and could attract the intervention of the gods every time it appears!

Based on this speculation, she probably didn't die in the battle with the Goddess of Order, or rather, she couldn't have been killed at all, but was sealed away by some means.

Many years later, she came up with a way to break the seal.

In the first simulation, I met her after she had regained her freedom, and the early ending was also because she was discovered by the gods...

But why didn't she... well, thinking about it, it's not surprising.

Richard tried to make a deeper inference.

Generally speaking, a seal will greatly suppress the power of the sealed person in all aspects. In extreme cases, the sealed person may even die of old age inside the seal due to exhaustion of life force.

So although Isabella didn't die, her strength was definitely diminished after she broke free of her seal, and any slight movement she made during this time would attract the gods to engage in close combat...

In this light, the subsequent simulations will likely follow a similar script: Isabella escapes, is tracked down in various ways, and ends up accomplishing nothing.

That's why Richard rarely gets to see her, or when he does, he's interrupted after only a few seconds.
