update icon Updated at 2023/7/12 21:10:12

Shiki felt like he was bound by the task, he didn't want to do the task, especially when it was a double unknown task. Who knows if the system would trick him? Wasn't it supposed to be about enjoying life and scenery as a player?

"Spirit?!"

The red dragon noticed Shiki's presence and concluded that he must be the one causing trouble as a spirit. Moreover, the spirit exuded an aura that even he feared.

With a burst of heat, the leader of the Red Dragon Squad charged towards Shiki, breathing fire at him.

The scorching flames were hundreds of times more intense than those of the young dragons.

Shiki's sword detached from his hand and flew forward to block the attack. The flames were absorbed, and then the sword swung, releasing black flames that forced the dragon legion to retreat.

"A tutorial level? Are they really playing it that big?"

Shiki was dumbfounded. The sword was quite intelligent, but in this situation, did it mean that he had to start over from the beginning, like those beginner plotlines in some games?

The bone dragon in the sky was assembled, and it let out a roar, its voice echoing through the entire dragon realm.

"What's happening?"

Those lucky players who obtained the Dragon race card and turned into dragons hadn't figured out the situation yet, but they could see a huge bone dragon in the distance.

"Wow, this game feels so realistic. I have to boast about it on the forums when I go offline!"

Relying on the system, they filmed the giant bone dragon in the distance, ready to upload it after logging out. Currently, there was no compatibility with other companies in the beta version, so they couldn't directly share the pictures on various chat software and forums.

"It's amazing! Lilisa! Did you see that? Such a mighty dragon!"

Rorosa excitedly waved her little sister.

"Big sister, please stop waving. Lilisa feels dizzy."

Shiki glanced at the information about the Bone Dragon King, Visage.

The Bone Dragon King Visage, born from the remains of tens of thousands of giant dragon skeletons, loyal to the Lord of Death, is currently in the first phase.

Visage's earth-shaking roar alarmed the four Dragon Kings who were sleeping in the dragon realm.

Red Dragon King: "This sound... It's him..."

Green Dragon King: "This is impossible. How could he be resurrected? He should have been..."

Blue Dragon King: "I sense that dreadful aura. Could it be that the Lord of Death has also been resurrected?"

Golden Dragon King: "If that's true, the dragon realm will face an unprecedented disaster..."

The four Dragon Kings broke through their resting places, and four dazzling light pillars appeared in the sky above the dragon realm.

"What the hell is going on? This beginner plot is too amazing!"

"Record it! Record it! Let's upload it to Bilibili when we go back! Exclusive news report!"

Since the beginning, the dragon realm had never been peaceful.

In a dark cloud area far away in the dragon realm, a black shadow woke up and let out a lazy roar.

"My great master, have you finally reappeared?"

The voice of the shadow echoed.

"It's time to welcome the master..."

The black cloud emitted thunder and headed towards the dragon realm.

Shiki, still standing in front of the cave, was confused. Wasn't there a beginner guide in this game? It was a complete mess, and he had no idea what to do.

The Red Dragon squad's attack had just been repelled by Shiki's sword, and they wanted to continue their assault, but the four Dragon Kings woke up at the same time. They were afraid that this undead identity was not simple... Could it be...

The leader of the Red Dragon squad remembered something. It seemed that what was buried in this cave was the nightmare of all living beings a hundred years ago...

"The Lord of Death... massacred billions of living beings a hundred years ago..."

They thought it was just a legend, but now it seemed to be true.

"My clan! Retreat! Cease the attack!"

The Red Dragon King shouted at the Red Dragon squad.

"Yes!" The leader led the Red Dragon squad to withdraw.

The four Dragon Kings landed on the ground, relieved to see that Visage didn't show any signs of attacking.

Shiki looked at the four huge dragons approaching him and couldn't help but feel a sense of panic. The plot was too bizarre. What kind of creatures were these four dragons? They seemed to be stronger than any dragon he had seen before.

"I don't mean to offend, Lord of Death."

The tone of the four Dragon Kings was extremely sincere, and for a moment, Shiki was also dumbfounded. What kind of twist was this?

"My clan has always honored your belongings in this chamber, never daring to disturb you..."Upon hearing this, Shiki's sword suddenly slashed in front of the Dragon King, startling him and causing the image of the dragon clan that had broken into the tomb to appear on the ground.

"......"

"......"

The slap came too fast, especially for the Red Dragon King. He recognized the leader of these children - Las, the most talented dragon of the new generation. He didn't expect this...

"These children didn't mean to offend you, please have mercy..."

"Hahaha!!" A black cloud floated in the sky, and a loud laughter emanated from it, drawing everyone's attention.

A figure flew out of the black cloud and landed on the ground with a loud thud.

"Black Dragon King..."

The pitch-black dragon transformed into human form. Shiki watched as it gradually transformed from an imposing dragon into a black-haired red-eyed girl with luscious red lips. Her body was covered with black scales, and her perfect white legs added an exotic charm to her appearance.

"Halt! You have no right to set foot in the Dragon Realm! Do you dare to betray the promise made years ago?"

The four Dragon Kings were very displeased with the arrival of the Black Dragon King.

"Promise? My supreme master has awakened. Do you think I still need to adhere to any promises?" The Black Dragon King walked up to Shiki, knelt on one knee, and looked up at him with eyes filled with admiration. "Great Lord of Death, Nidhogg pledges allegiance to you once again, offering you my body and soul..."

The soul contract flew directly into Shiki's body, binding Nidhogg to him forever.

"......"

Shiki was confused by the unexpected turn of events.

"To see you again, my lord, is an honor..." Nidhogg's expression was idiotic, causing Shiki to feel a hint of... excitement?

"Enough!" The four Dragon Kings were infuriated by being ignored. After all, they were dragons and these two individuals dare to disregard them.

"Outrageous!" Nidhogg's deafening dragon roar caused all the dragons present except for Shiki to crumple to the ground. Only the four Dragon Kings managed to hold their ground.

"Great master, this filthy place is not worthy of your stay. Please come with me. I have prepared everything for your return..."

Nidhogg's attitude towards Shiki was always respectful, except for the slight hint of infatuation on his face.

"Ding! Triggered mission: The Rise of the Black Dragon Clan!"

"Huh? Another mission? Is it a beginner's guide?" Shiki wondered if this was the plot signaling him to leave. If that was the case, then he should leave quickly or else there would be a fight.

The sword pointed towards the sky, and Visage, rising from the ground, caused the earth to shake. It flew towards the black cloud.

Sword sheathed, Shiki also prepared to leave, but... how should he fly?

Nidhogg transformed back into dragon form at this moment. "Master, please ride on my back."

So that's how it is, but this line...

Shiki glanced at the two unconscious twins. Since they had already made a contract with him, he couldn't just leave them behind.

"I want to take them with me, is that okay?" Shiki asked the four Dragon Kings.

The four Dragon Kings exchanged glances. "No problem, Lord of Death. If you leave now, we won't pursue any further..."

They said that, but in reality, they didn't dare to pursue further. The pressure from the Lord of Death was just too strong.

With the amplification of the Black Dragon King's power, he could directly suppress the four Dragon Kings. It was best to avoid a fight if possible.

Moreover, taking the calamitous twin dragons away would also be a good thing for the Dragon Realm...
