The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

However, towards the very end, several Dark Elf spirits clad in black dragon scale armor appeared among the spirits, causing Lothric and the knights some trouble. This was because the scale armor was magic-immune and its sturdiness was unimaginable.

"Even the lightning spear can't penetrate it? This thing is really disgusting!" When he saw that the lightning spear thrown by his knight hit the wandering spirits wearing armor made of black dragon scales without causing any damage, Lu Ming was stunned for a moment. Then he saw that the wandering spirits relied on the armor to forcibly block the light spear of Lothric!

"Black Dragon Scales, everyone retreat!" Seeing that his attack had not caused any damage to the wandering spirits, Lothric immediately ordered the knights to retreat, leaving the wandering spirits to Lu Ming, the guy who knew the Sunlight Spear, to deal with.

But at that moment, after seeing the armor on those wandering spirits, Finney couldn't help but laugh and say to Aseria, "You don't need to help them anymore, because they're doomed!"

One of the strongest dragons in the Black Dragon Clan, and ranked very high. Armor forged from its shed scales is practically invincible! Not just in Darkea, but even in the entire Puru region, it's among the most powerful armor!

Therefore, in Phineas's view, Lu Ming and his group were doomed. Their attacks simply couldn't break through the armor's defenses.

However, Asilia saw it differently. Perhaps because it was closely related to her own interests, Asilia didn't want Lu Ming, Lothric, and their knights to die in her fortress. So, she subconsciously felt that Lu Ming, who hadn't retreated, had some way to break through the defenses of the armor known as the strongest treasure of the Dark Elves. Although she herself thought it was unlikely, that was her belief.

Perhaps sensing Aseria's thoughts, Finnie sneered, "You don't actually think they can break through the Black Dragon Scale Armor, do you? Let me tell you, that's the strongest armor of our Dark Elf race. Even the High Priest's divine magic can't break through its defenses. If these humans from Miracaissa could break through that armor, then we Dark Elfs wouldn't stand a chance! And look, that so-called Earl is just a fourth-tier mage..."

Before Phine could finish speaking, Lu Ming used the Bell of Hope to unleash the Sunlight Spear, delivering a resounding slap to Phine with irrefutable facts!

The crimson lightning spear, the instant Lu Ming hurled it, pierced through the black dragon scales of a wandering spirit who was likely a high-ranking priest or a member of the Dark Aifa clan, killing him instantly.

Watching the wandering spirit collapse heavily, a huge hole in its black dragon scales slowly emitting smoke, Finnie was speechless with shock. After a long while, she finally reacted and, together with Aseria, shouted in unison, "You can't be kidding me!? How could a black dragon's scales be pierced so easily!!"

Hearing their shocked shouts, Lu Ming slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

Dragon scales are very strong defensively, but the Sunlight Spear is specifically designed to deal with dragons. How could it not penetrate dragon scales?

"My Sunspear is a miracle of High Overlord Gwyn. Besides being the first Lord of Cinder, He is also a god renowned for slaying dragons. This thunderbolt is the weapon He used to pierce the immortal scales of ancient dragons. To think that mere black dragon scales could stop the Sunspear is utterly presumptuous!"

Hearing Lu Ming's words transmitted to their ears through magic, Aseria and Finnie gritted their teeth as they looked at him. Although Aseria didn't want her chance to gain power from Lu Ming and take revenge on Finnie to disappear for no reason, she was still furious when she saw Lu Ming easily shatter the Black Dragon Scales that the Dark Elves were so proud of.

But it is precisely this power that will give Asilia the opportunity to take revenge on that damned priest, Finni!

As for seeking revenge against Lu Ming... based on what we've seen so far, it's impossible.

"The priests of the Dark Elves seem to be plotting something. We should be careful." Lothric glanced back at Finnie, who was glaring at Lu Ming, and reminded him.

“I know. Most of these Dark Elf priests are driven by greed. It’s impossible for them not to scheme against us! Moreover, I don’t think the Dark Elf higher-ups invited us to come and help us out of genuine concern! They might be plotting against us too.” After using the Sunlight Spear to kill all the remaining wandering spirits, Lu Ming turned back to Lothric with a frown as the knights burned the corpses of those spirits.

Upon hearing this, Lothric nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed. It was impossible for the Dark Elf royal family not to have schemed against them; it was simply a matter of degree.

After all the wandering spirits were burned, the Dark Elf soldiers emerged from the fortress.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Aseria and Finnie clapped their hands and stepped out from among the soldiers, walking towards Lu Ming and Lothric with light steps and sweet smiles, making them appear somewhat... alluring...

Instinctively, they took a few steps back, trying to keep as far away from the two female spiders as possible. Lu Ming and Lothric weren't stupid; these two were purebred Dark Elf, and beneath their beautiful faces lay a deadly poison capable of corroding everything!

Seeing Lu Ming and Lothric retreat, Aseria and Finney knew that the two were on guard against them, so they stopped and did not approach again to avoid displeasing the two.

Even so, Asilia was still thinking about how to use her beauty to trick Lu Ming into giving her enough power to kill Finni.

"You two are indeed experts at dealing with the undead! Our Empire's decision to invite you to help was absolutely correct!" Finney smiled slyly as he said to Lu Ming and Lothric, "However, there are only a little over a hundred wandering spirits here, a mere drop in the ocean compared to those back home. So we hope that you two can win as easily as you can here when you're back home!"

As she spoke, Finney pointed at Aseria again and said, "Because this Viscount Aseria Gomela Millerz was disrespectful to you two before, she has now been removed from her position. Now she is your assistant and will guide you around the country. Of course, if either of you wants to have her, that's fine too!"

Upon hearing Finni's words, Chimera immediately ran over, grabbed her husband's arm, and looked at Finni, the priest, with great vigilance.

Lu Ming, however, began to realize Finney's true intentions...

Chapter 8 - Black Dragon

Since the wandering spirits had been dealt with, the envoy disregarded whether Phine would be angry and forcibly led Lu Ming, Lothric, and the other Miracathians toward Loki, the capital of Darkeafa.

However, just as Asilia's group was about to depart, Finni pushed them onto Lu Ming's and the others' carriage, forcing Lu Ming and his companions to bring this trouble along.

Knowing that Lu Ming and the others were wary of her, Asilia did not do anything out of line that would arouse their hostility.

The journey from the border of Darkea to the capital city by horse-drawn carriage would indeed take more than a month. Therefore, with Darkea plagued by wandering spirits and the curse of the undead, their group couldn't afford to travel at such a leisurely pace. Thus, their first destination was Damsis, the closest city with a teleportation magic station.

Sitting in the carriage, gazing at the almost pitch-black night outside the window, Lu Ming held the sleeping Chimera in his arms, pondering some questions. Suddenly, he saw a glimmer of light appear in the darkness in the distance, and at the same time heard a very faint roar from something he couldn't make out.

"What's that place over there?" Out of curiosity, Lu Ming pointed in the direction of the distant wisp of fire and asked the envoy.

“That’s the Shadow Forest.” The Dark Elf who answered Lu Ming wasn’t an envoy unfamiliar with the area, but rather the troublesome Asilia who had been pushed onto the carriage. As the commander of the fortress here, she naturally knew the area like the back of her hand, and with just a glance, she named the place over the firelight.

"Are there any fire-type magical beasts in the forest?" After hearing Aseria's answer, Lu Ming pondered for a moment before asking.

"I don't recall having one, but if Earl Lu Ming is willing to spend the night with me, perhaps I could consider..."

"Then let's skip it!"

"..."

-----------------------------------

After a whole night of bumpy travel, Lu Ming and the others arrived in Damsis.

After getting off the carriage, Lu Ming's first thought was to find a place to get a good night's sleep.

Unfortunately, he had to continue his journey...

Unlike Lu Ming, Chimera, who could sleep soundly even with the bumpy ride of the carriage, was not sleepy at all at this moment. In the time before the Dark Elf at the teleportation magic station finished adjusting the magic circle, she always dragged Lu Ming to the food street in the city to buy all kinds of snacks. In the end, Lu Ming and the two knights who followed them had their hands piled high with all sorts of things.

Although there are still many shops on the food street, the fact that some shops have already closed and there are not many customers on the street suggests that this city, which is already close to the border, has become even more depressed than before due to the ghosts and the curse of the undead.

After sitting down at a breakfast shop, placing the various snacks on the table, and ordering several servings of Dark Elf's specialty breakfast, Lu Ming and his companions began to enjoy their sumptuous breakfast.

However, Lothric and his group soon found them and brought them very bad news.

"There's a problem with the teleportation magic station. It needs maintenance and won't be open until around 1 p.m.

Hearing this, Lu Ming breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "Judging from your faces, I thought it was completely broken! Since it can be fixed this afternoon, let's wait! I can also catch up on some sleep."

“If we had enough time, we could wait, but the lord of this city told us that the capital of Darkea is currently being attacked by a large number of wandering spirits. Although nothing will happen in the short term, it would be best if we didn’t wait.” The envoy picked up a snack from the table and said to Lu Ming and the others.

"Do you have any ideas? The teleportation magic station is broken and unusable!" Lu Ming said to the envoy, spreading his hands.

After stuffing the snack into his mouth, the envoy said, "It's alright, the city lord here already has a way to get us to another nearby city with a teleportation magic station as quickly as possible!"

Half an hour later, the chimera stared in disbelief at the three enormous creatures before it.

"This is the solution you were talking about?!" Chimera roared angrily, grabbing the envoy's collar.

The envoy glanced at the three enormous creatures and said somewhat awkwardly, "I didn't know that the lord had summoned three black dragons!"

Yes, the lord's so-called solution was to use the three-headed black dragon to carry Lu Ming and the others to other cities with teleportation magic stations.

Aside from Lu Ming and Lothric, who were both highly skilled and daring, everyone else in the team, including Dark the elf, had the same reaction: "I absolutely will not go up there!!"

In their eyes, black dragons were synonymous with danger and death. These powerful and terrifying creatures could prey on powerful magical beasts like thunderbirds, wyverns, and bipedal dragons, so naturally they could also prey on humans and dark elves who were even weaker than those beasts!

But at that moment, Lu Ming suddenly took a step towards the three black dragons. Instantly, for some unknown reason, the three black dragons took a step back.

Upon seeing this, Lu Ming was taken aback, wondering why these giant beasts, ten meters tall and thirty meters long, with thick black scales, capable of breathing fire and possessing immense strength, would retreat.

Out of doubt, Lu Ming strode toward the three black dragons, but the three black dragons continued to retreat, as if Lu Ming were some terrifying being, until they finally retreated to the point of sticking to the city wall.

Upon seeing this, the Chimera and the others were taken aback, instinctively thinking that the three black dragons were fake.

Just as they thought this, the lord of this viscountry suddenly appeared behind them, looked at the three black dragons, and laughed: "These three black dragons were raised by us Dark elves, so they are a bit timid. When they encounter a powerful being who has slain a dragon, they will turn into this."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming turned around, glanced at the lord, and said with some surprise, "A man? Do the Dark Elves have male lords?"

“I am an exception. It was because I tamed three black dragons that the Earl made an exception and bestowed upon me the title of Viscount. Otherwise, I would never have had the chance to become a lord in my entire life!” The lord smiled calmly and said to Lu Ming and the equally puzzled Lothric.

"Is that so?" After receiving the answer, Lu Ming and Lothric looked at the three black dragons again and asked, "Are you planning to have them take us to the nearest city with a teleportation magic station?"

“Yes!” The lord nodded slightly, then said, “Their wildness has been tamed, and they are perfectly capable of carrying you all to Svadirfali. Moreover, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, my knights and I will personally drive them to ensure your safe arrival in Svadirfali.”

As he spoke, he glanced at the three black dragons that had been frightened by Lu Ming and hid in a corner of the city wall, and said to Lu Ming somewhat apologetically, "However, Earl Lu Ming, you may not be able to use the black dragons to get to Svadirfali. As you can see, they dare not approach you at all. I wonder if you have any flying summons that can take you to Svadirfali?"

Lu Ming turned around helplessly, looked at the three black dragons who were terrified by him, then sighed and waved to the very rare male Dark Elf lord, saying, "I have a way to follow you to Svadirfali, so you don't need to worry."

"I'm relieved now." After bowing slightly to Lu Ming, the lord turned to the envoy and the chimera, saying, "Time is of the essence. Please climb onto the black dragon's back. I will use magic to bind you all to it so you won't fall off. Please rest assured!"

When the lord told them and the Dark Elf to climb onto the black dragon's back, the Chimera and the others were startled. Unfortunately, no matter how scared they were, they had to bite the bullet and go for it.

However, Chimera did not climb onto the black dragon's back. Because Lu Ming was her husband, and she trusted him more, Chimera chose to stay with him instead of riding the Black Dragon Express with the knights and envoys!

Perhaps out of curiosity about how Lu Ming would get to Svadirfali City with them, the lord deliberately slowed down the black dragon's flight to see how Lu Ming would handle it.

As a result, he saw Lu Ming summon a shadow demon in the strong wind when the black dragon took off, and let it carry him and the chimera into the air. He couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, his eyeballs almost popping out!

Despite their name, the Shadow Demon is actually a legitimate overlord of shadow creatures, on par with the Black Dragon. It's said that the strongest Shadow Demon can even prey on Black Dragons in the material world. The one Lu Ming summoned is almost solidified from its shadow, clearly on the verge of becoming that terrifying being.

However, he didn't know that Lu Ming had a Shadow Demon adopted daughter, and that girl was truly terrifying!

As Lu Ming and the Chimera took to the air with the help of the Shadow Demons, the lord immediately reacted, hurriedly ordering his black dragons to take flight and lead the way. He dared not provoke someone like Lu Ming. Therefore, he decided to abandon his ulterior motives for now and obediently escort Lu Ming and the others to Svadirfali City, lest he end up gaining nothing and being beaten half to death by Lu Ming and his companions!

Flying through the sky, looking directly down at the ground so far away, the three Dark Elf women—Chimera, the Emissary, and Asilia—who had never been so high above the ground before, all appeared somewhat terrified. It wasn't until the group arrived at the city of Nesvadirfali about ten or twelve minutes later that the three of them clung tightly to the Shadow Demon's waist and gripped the ropes binding the black dragon...

Seeing the chimera like this, Lu Ming couldn't help but worry that the shadow demon he had summoned might be strangled to death by the chimera.

After landing on the ground, Lu Ming helplessly comforted the poor Shadow Demon he had summoned. To compensate it for being nearly strangled to death by the Chimera, Lu Ming gave it some benefits and promised to make it his adopted daughter, thereby granting it the rare high level of intelligence that Shadow Demons possessed.

"When you get back, explain to Domira yourself how she gained a sister from the same clan because of you!"

"Well, that child listens to me the most, so I'm not afraid!"

"That's because you two look alike."

"Are you saying I'm dark-skinned?" Upon hearing Lu Ming's teasing, Chimera immediately glared at him angrily.

Seeing that Chimera was angry, Lu Ming immediately went over, hugged her tightly, and kissed her hard on the cheek, saying, "I like you like this. So, don't be angry anymore."

"Ahem!" At this moment, the envoy who was communicating with the lord of Nesvadirfali City, asking her to arrange for the teleportation magic station to connect directly to the teleportation network of the imperial capital Loki, saw the two of them taking advantage of this time to be so affectionate, and couldn't help but cough lightly and say, "Gentlemen, the teleportation magic station is ready, let's go!"

"Oh, okay." Lu Ming nodded slightly, then took Chimera's hand and walked into the magic circle in the teleportation magic station, where he was teleported along with the others and the Dark Elf.

-----------------------------------

"Roar~~!!!!"

Having just been teleported to the capital of Dak'aifa, Lu Ming and the others heard a deafening roar.

"They were sent here by the Black Dragon, and as soon as they arrived, they wanted to fight the Black Dragon?" Lothric sighed upon hearing the roar.

"It's just a black dragon. We can kill it together." Lu Ming smiled slightly, took the Aries Staff and the Bell of Hope in his hands, and then quickly walked out of the teleportation magic station.

As soon as they stepped outside, a colossal black dragon came into view. It was even larger than the three black dragons that had brought them to Neswadilfari City. Unlike those three, every scale on its body radiated a purplish-black energy, and its horn was made of purple crystal, giving it an even more terrifying and oppressive aura. Moreover, this black dragon was wild, unlike the three domesticated ones!

The black dragon ravaged the capital, burning the undead and Dark elves with terrifying dragonfire, their screams echoing endlessly. The dragon's deafening roar, combined with the cries of the innocent, sounded like maniacal laughter to Lu Ming and Lothric, fueling their rage.

"Help!!" Suddenly, a little Dark Elf girl ran towards Lu Ming and the others, calling out for help.

Her cries for help attracted the attention of Lu Ming and Lothric, as well as the attention of the terrifying black dragon.

A pair of huge, vertical pupils coldly watched the little girl run away. Just as she was about to reach the other side of hope, the black dragon spewed out a terrifying dragon flame, which was about to shoot towards the terrified Dark Elf girl.
