This isn't a souls-like game at all.

"That's it, right?"

"Yes, it is that sword..."

The huge eyes of the gray-scaled ancient dragon glanced at the gray sword, and then looked at the altar beside it.

"Place the sword upon the altar. This way, I will absorb the disasters gathered within the sword."

"?"

Ye Yiyi scratched his head in confusion, "What disaster?"

"..."

The gray-scaled dragon seemed to be stumped by Ye Yiyi's question. It was silent for a moment, with a hint of confusion in its vertical pupils.

"Why do you ask this?"

"Because I really don't know what disaster it is." Ye Yiyi shrugged. "I found this sword in the secret compartment on the waist of a famous giant in Panyalong City. Judging from the time... this sword has been there for about ten thousand years?"

"a thousand years……"

The sound of the wind blowing from somewhere was a little chaotic. The gray-scaled ancient dragon closed the dragon curtain and remained silent for a long time before opening his eyes with a hint of loss.

"So, the disaster, no... the war is over?"

"It's not over yet." Ye Yiyi shook his head. "The original stagnation curse was sealed in the Temple of Kings by the Creator of Heaven. Those kings who succumbed to the curse are still dormant somewhere, struggling to survive... But that was all ten thousand years ago."

"Then... what about King Tiangu? And the flying dragons under his command..."

"King Tiangu?" Ye Yiyi was slightly stunned. "You mean the King Dragon?"

"The Dragon King..." The sound of the wind was faint, like a long sigh.

"The King Dragon, Sky Rex, is the original ancient dragon. It was also the one who created the race called flying dragons, thus sowing the seeds of disaster..."

"The King's Dragon... is it also an ancient dragon?" In Ye Yiyi's slightly widened eyes, the gray-scaled ancient dragon used the sound of the wind to tell a secret story from the past.

"The King's Dragon is the source of disaster. His Majesty, the venerable Heavenly Creator, foresaw the coming of disaster and therefore sent the Royal Craftsman to take the scales from me and forge that sword to resolve the disaster.

"Young human, I want to know what's happening with Tiangu Rex now..."

The wind stopped briefly, then became extremely fierce.

“…Dead or not?”

"..."

Ye Yiyi was silent for a moment, feeling a little dizzy from the sudden influx of information.

"I don't know." He shook his head. "I don't know whether Tiangu Rex is dead or not, but the dragons... have been stripped of their intelligence and reduced to beasts."

Ye Yiyi really didn't know whether the King Dragon was dead or not. Anyway, there was no such BOSS in the game process, but it was not ruled out that it would appear in the DLC that had not yet been released.

"Is that so..."

After getting Ye Yiyi's answer, the gray-scaled ancient dragon closed his eyes slightly and sighed softly with the sound of the wind.

After a moment, it opened its eyes and whispered:

"Go hunt down the dragons that have been reduced to feral beasts, child.

"Kill them, use the sword to absorb the disaster, and then send it back to me. I will give you a corresponding reward."

A gray light suddenly flew from a distance and cleverly penetrated into Ye Yiyi's eyebrows.

"This……"

Ye Yiyi was slightly stunned, then concentrated his mind and a hymn spell suddenly emerged in his mind.

Ancient Dragon Hymn [The Holy Radiance of Hyperrex]

Chapter 341: Holy Dragon Vertical Pupil and [Wu Shu Double Scissors Greatsword]

[Hypar Group Chat Room Chat Room] I picked up the Holy Radiance of Qirex.

Spell Slots: 2

Skill cost: 40

Requirements: Faith 15, Mysticism 15

Item Description: The power shared by the Holy Dragon "Hyperrex",

One of the most popular hymns.

It can emit a holy roar and call upon the glorious protection to descend.

When the protection comes, it can improve the holy attribute and physical damage reduction rate.

Continuously restores health and focus, and adds holy damage to all attacks.

This effect never expires; cast the spell again to toggle it on and off.

It is said that the Holy Dragon was once a close friend of the Universal Light.

It is also the sacred totem of the ancient country of Leftgard.

Therefore, when the glory of the king falls,

The sacred ancient dragon took on the responsibility of protecting the country.

The sacred light of the dragon forever protects the lost city of Leftgard.

"It's actually the ancient dragon faith hymn. Wow, this is incredible..." Ye Yiyi glanced at the item description and looked slightly surprised.

"Not only is it not in the game, but it's also a permanent buff spell, just like the Starlight Blessing I got from the Indigo Lighthouse!

"But Hyperrex?"

This was not the first time Ye Yiyi had come across this name. As early as when she got the "Hymn Book of the Children of the Forest", one of the hymns mentioned the Holy Dragon.

"When the Holy Dragon Hyperrex attacked, one of the special powers granted by praying to the remains of the deity was also the hymn that helped the Knights of Forest Oak overcome the crisis."

——[Yongmu]

"But why would the Holy Dragon beat up the Forest Oak Man? What kind of conflict could there be between them?" He was puzzled.

"Or……"

His eyes fell on the last two lines of the ancient dragon hymn.

"The sacred ancient dragon shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the country, using the dragon's sacred aura to forever protect the lost Leftgard... forever..."

His eyes suddenly widened. Could it be that Hyperrex had a conflict with the Forest Oak people because he protected Leftgard?

Except for a certain foolish dragon who faced the Lord of Life and Death, the ancient dragons would not die. That is, Hyperrex was still alive and still fulfilling his duties as the dragon that protected the country.

In other words, the location of the body of the Lord of the Dense Forest is within the former territory of Leftgard?

This is the only reason that could cause a conflict between the Guardian Ancient Dragon and the Forest Oak People.

After all, Gu Long is not a son of hell. After someone threw nuclear waste water into his home, he would definitely go to the door to reason.

"Looks like I'll have to ask Alice later..."

But putting aside the background story, I haven't even hunted a dragon yet, and you gave me such a good spell as a reward?

Ye Yiyi reacted and his eyes immediately became hot as he looked at the Gray-Scaled Dragon.

Unexpectedly, the Gray-Scaled Ancient Dragon was also surprised by the gray light, and there was even a hint of joy in the sound of the wind blowing from it.

"It seems you are indeed a hero who walks the path of righteousness. Even the Ash Destruction Altar has responded to your achievements in dispelling disasters..."

"Uh?"

Ye Yiyi was slightly stunned when she heard this. Why did it sound like this? Wasn't this hymn given to me by you?

Before he could ask, the gray-scaled ancient dragon closed its eyes tiredly, and the sound of the wind gradually faded away.

"Make good use of the power bestowed upon you by the Ashes of Destruction Altar, child. I am about to fall into a deep sleep. I hope to see you again next time... Sasa~"

The sound disappeared completely, and the Gray-Scaled Ancient Dragon fell asleep without even finishing his words.

"No, I really fell asleep..."

Ye Yiyi stood there in a daze, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Please, bro!

I still have a lot of questions to ask, don’t just go to sleep like that!

He tried to wake him up, but Gu Long's sleep quality was even better than he had imagined, or rather, he was like dead once he fell asleep. Helplessly, he had to give up.

"It's good to be able to sleep..."

He shook his head helplessly, glanced at the dusty and inconspicuous Ash Altar in front of him, then came to the holy monument and added the newly acquired holy poem to the spell slot.

This hymn of the ancient dragon faith is different from other hymns. Like the magic of the Dream Painting Scroll, it requires two different attribute points.

"Faith and Mysticism, 15 points each. It's a bit lower than the 30 intelligence of Starlight Blessing, but that's just right."

With the personal characteristic of [Shape and Color Inspiration], his basic mysterious attribute is 15 points, which just meets the minimum usage requirements.

"I just don't know if this hymn will conflict with the Starlight Blessing..."

He took out the hymn book of primal power, then closed his eyes and released the hymn according to the movements in his memory.

"Om~!"

A golden glow suddenly appeared above his head, and his body rose from the ground in the golden light, floating in the air.

He suddenly opened his eyes, which had bright golden vertical pupils, and roared loudly in the golden light.

"Roar!!"

An impassioned ancient dragon roar resounded through the altar, echoing back and forth in the egg-shaped building.

The golden light surrounding Ye Yiyi's body suddenly burst out, and then shrank into his body.

"Is this the end?"

The floating body slowly landed on the ground. He looked down at his body, but didn't see any special effects.

"This hymn seems even more simple than I imagined..."

He scratched his head and pulled out the Grayscale Contract from behind.

As soon as his palm touched the hilt of the sword, a faint golden light flowed along his arm and onto the sword, giving it a layer of soft golden light.

"It's a bit like a lightsaber... or a cheering stick?"

This straight sword is a one-handed sword, so the blade is not long, so it looks a little awkward after the hymn effect takes effect.

Ye Yiyi tried to release his combat skills, wanting to see if the holy golden light would be covered by the gray flames.

But unexpectedly, the golden light and the gray flames merged perfectly together, giving the latter's dim flames a faint golden edge.

“He’s quite handsome!”

Satisfied, he put the sword behind him, then turned his head to look at the heavy gate under the distant rock wall, hesitating slightly.

"Do you want to go take a look outside?"

Now that we are here, and the place is the legendary Sky Mountain, we should at least go out for a walk.

But this is not a game after all. Even if you run off to do a side quest halfway through the main quest, it’s okay. There are still a bunch of dead people in Panya Dragon City sharpening their knives and preparing to kill you.

"Forget it, there's no rush here..."

He finally shook his head and gave up the idea of ​​wasting time wandering around.

Teleported back to the hall of Zhiyuan Research Institute through the holy tablet, he looked up and found a giant cylindrical glass jar connecting the ground and the ceiling in the center of the originally empty hall.

"What the hell? Did I send it to the wrong place?"

He was a little surprised and looked around, then found Su Ke in front of a translucent frosted glass jar, looking down at something.

"I knew it……"

He couldn't help but roll his eyes. He knew without asking that the glass jar that suddenly appeared was made by the mouse.

This kid really didn't listen to his words. Just like before, he couldn't move when he saw anything related to flying dragons...

"Suke!"

He shouted loudly, while raising his foot and walking towards the glass jar.
