Mr. Dragon Knight, the dragon girls are chasing you!

The alarm sounded instantly throughout Silvermoon Peak.

The guards frantically grabbed their weapons, some even dragged away by their comrades before they could even put on their armor.

However, before they could get into position, the dark dragon shadow crashed down on the Silver Moon Peak platform like a meteorite.

The ground shook violently, and debris flew everywhere.

Elvia transformed into human form, her long, deep purple hair billowing in the air currents, her gilded vertical pupils gleaming with anxious light, and her entire body radiating a low pressure that kept strangers at bay.

"Where is your Dragon King?!" she grabbed the nearest guard, her voice urgent.

"Where did Serafina go?!"

The guard, whose legs were trembling, pointed towards the depths of the Eternal Night Mountains: "The Dragon... the Dragon King... she took that human knight and headed towards the Abyss Rift..."

Eluvia's pupils contracted sharply.

Abyssal rift.

That idiot actually went in all by himself.

She released the guards and turned to look at the horizon shrouded in dark purple mist deep within the Eternal Night Mountains, her gilded vertical pupils filled with worry.

"...Stupid dragon knight."

She murmured something to herself, then leaped into the air, transforming back into a jet-black dragon, its wings suddenly unfurling.

"Please wait for me!"

The next second, the black dragon shadow soared into the sky and sped off relentlessly towards the deepest part of the Eternal Night Mountains.

The night wind howled past her ears, and she moved even faster than she had come, like a black lightning bolt tearing through the night sky.

......

Meanwhile, inside the abyssal rift—

[System Notification: Host detected entering a special instance - Abyss Rift (Recommended for LV45-60)]

[System Notification: Dungeon environment detection in progress... Detection complete! Current environment characteristics: High concentration of shadow elements, unstable spatial structure, presence of numerous native shadow creatures]

[System Notification: The power of the Silvermoon Heart has been automatically activated, constructing a shadow protective barrier for the host... Construction complete! Current shadow resistance +90%]

[System Reminder: Please focus on defeating monsters and clearing levels. Do not attempt to analyze the dragon girl's psychology. You can't fathom her proud and aloof thoughts. Just lie back and enjoy the favoritism.]

Luo Ye silently rolled her eyes.

This system is getting more and more sarcastic and adept at undermining others.

He suppressed all the chaotic thoughts in his mind, completely calmed his mind, and opened his eyes to face the brand new world before him.

The moment you step into the abyss, the surrounding scenery is completely overturned.

What came into view was an endless, desolate, dark purple wasteland.

There were no stars, no sun or moon in the sky, only churning, oppressive dark mist that made it hard to breathe.

Within the thick black fog, streaks of silent, tearing dark purple lightning occasionally flashed by, their fleeting flashes briefly illuminating distant, twisted, and bizarre black rock pillars.

The rock pillars are jagged and sharp, twisting and piercing through the black mist, exuding a sense of deathly stillness and eeriness.

The ground was covered with fine, sharp black shadow crystals. Every step shattered the surface crystals, producing a crisp, piercing crunch that stood out starkly against the eerily quiet wasteland.

The air was thick with raging shadow elements, at a suffocating concentration.

Without the protection of the Silver Moon Heart's power, his skin would probably have already begun to erode and fester just by standing here.

Luo Ye gripped the Moon Mark Spear tightly, feeling the warm touch of the Silver Dragon Armor, and warily surveyed his surroundings.

In the darkness, a clear sense of attraction emanated from the deepest part of the wasteland. It was the unique aura of the Shadow Source Core fragment, which resonated faintly with the Eternal Night Dragon Power awakening within him, like an invisible thread guiding his way forward.

"Let's go! This is the last major raid before I quit the game!"

Luo Ye took a deep breath and walked in the direction indicated by the aura.

After traveling across the wasteland for about half an hour, he suddenly stopped.

wrong.

This space is not right.

He walked along without hearing any other sounds except for his own footsteps and the sound of the wind.

There were no roars of monsters, no wails of shadows, and even the sound of black crystals being crushed underfoot sounded particularly jarring.

It's too quiet.

It was so quiet that it didn't seem like a treacherous abyss; rather, it was as if the entire space was holding its breath and lying in wait, silently waiting for its prey to step into the trap and for a bloody hunt to begin.

Beneath the extreme silence lies an impending unknown crisis.

Luo Ye suddenly stopped, his eyes instantly sharpened, and his aura completely subsided as he entered a state of 100% combat alert.

The Moon Mark Spear in his hand instantly shone with a dazzling silver-white light, its ancient bone patterns fully activated, and the holy power of the moon flowed and swirled around it. The spear tip was sharp and revealed, cleaving a blinding light in the dark Shadow Wasteland, and autonomously protecting its master.

The next second, a deep, hoarse, and layered strange wolf howl suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

"Awooo!!!"

This was no ordinary howl of a wild beast, but a strange shriek formed by countless layers of shadow sound waves, carrying a strong shadow corrosive power that pierced the eardrums and went straight for the soul, making people's heads spin.

Luo Ye suddenly spun around, his sharp gaze sweeping across the wasteland behind him.

In the once dark and empty wasteland, pairs of scarlet and eerie lights began to illuminate one after another, densely packed and layered, resembling countless ghostly eyes against the backdrop of dark purple mist, locking onto him, the only living being.

One pair, two pairs, ten pairs, twenty pairs...

More and more crimson lights appeared, slowly approaching from all directions through the black mist. The footsteps were heavy and orderly, creating a strong sense of oppression.

Soon, the monster's outline became fully visible from the black mist.

They were a pack of giant shadow wolves formed entirely from the essence of shadow. Their size far exceeded that of the demonic wolves outside, nearly twice their size. They were agile, muscular, and covered in thick, black shadow fur.

Their skeletal outlines were faintly visible through their bodies, and a pulsating dark red energy core floated at the core of their chest cavity. With each pulsation, it would cause the surrounding shadow elements to surge and converge wildly.

What's most disturbing are their eyes.

Those eyes had no pupils, only a pure, empty, dark red light, as if the most primal fears from the depths of the soul were materialized in their sockets.

[System Notification: Encounter with a Pack of Shadow Wolves from the Abyss!]

Abyss Shadow Wolf - A Shadow-type Monster

[Level: LV34-LV36]

【Characteristics: Absolute affinity with shadows, advanced group cooperation, passive stealth across the entire area, and extremely strong hunting instincts】

[Weakness: Lower abdomen has weaker shadow gathering (40% physical penetration bonus), and has a natural advantage against Moonlight attribute attacks (damage +25%).]

[Habits: They hunt in packs, with the alpha wolf in charge. They have excellent tactical coordination and constantly adjust their formation to block the prey's escape routes during battle.]

[System High-Risk Warning: The wolf pack size has reached the standard for a small-scale battle group! In open areas, prey of medium to small size has less than a 15% chance of survival when surrounded by more than twenty Shadow Wolves!]
