CH : 235 New Spells And Looking For New Dependents

Rough statistics show that the population of the Frost Elves is at least tens of thousands, which is more than five times the population of the forest elves in the Emerald Forest.

One must know that Frost Elves and Forest Elves are of the same blood level. Basically, they can have the strength of high-level professionals after practicing their profession until they reach adulthood. Some people with outstanding talents can even reach the master level.

There are tens of thousands of Frost Elves. Calculated based on the number, there are at least 10,000 or more adult individuals. This also means that at least 10,000 high-level professionals starting out are almost all elite templates. One can fight against several ordinary professionals of the same level as a powerful individual.

Under this kind of basic system, there are probably not a few Frost Elves who have reached the master level. After all, even the already declining Emerald Forest has dozens of master-level elven elders on the bright side.

However, the Frost Elves are a neutral camp ethnic group after all. Although they are not as gentle as the Forest Elves of the good camp, they still adhere to the attitude of "I will not offend others unless they offend me."

Even though they are powerful, they still only occupy the Daxue Mountain area and have no intention of invading the surrounding areas.

Even if those territories are within easy reach.

The Abyss, the Lava Wasteland Plane, the small Abyss City in a remote area—Duolun City.

I, who transformed into a three-meter-tall black dragon-man using the transformation technique, once again entered the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce after a long absence.

In the Ten Thousand Realms Chamber of Commerce, a high-ranking succubus with an arrow-shaped tail saw me coming in. Her eyes lit up immediately. She quickly put down what she was busy doing and trotted up to me. Then she hugged my thick arm enthusiastically and said sweetly,

A tired voice said,

"Master Barbatos, you haven't been here for a long time~"

While talking, the pair of huge snow-capped breasts rubbed against my arm.

I grinned, put my big hands directly under her breasts, and held her in my arms. The upper succubus is only 1.8 meters tall and looks small and cute in the arms of the three-meter-tall me.

"During my absence, you didn't offer yourself to anyone else, right?"

"Hmph, what are you talking about? Lilith is Lord Barbatos's exclusive little pet. How can she do that to others~" Sitting in the thick, scaled arm, Lilith pressed on the latter's chest with a look of grievance.

She beat gently.

I touched her head and enjoyed the atmosphere.

Lilith didn't know that my true identity was a terrifying black dragon. The relationship between us was a very simple one between a guest and a waitress.

"Fine, I'll post it later. Now let's go shopping." I pinched her butt.

"What do you want to buy this time?" As soon as she got down to business, Lilith's eyes lit up, and she jumped out of my arms, then took out a magic book.

The book recorded all the goods she could buy and sell.

"Seventh and eighth-tier spells." My goal this time was very clear, which was spells.

The increased strength after breaking through to the master-level caster is actually quite limited. After all, my own legendary basic strength is there, and the magic power that has not yet reached the master level will not increase my strength much, even if it is purified several times.

After all, magic power only occupies a very small proportion of my strength. My own strength composition and biological order, that is, the strength of the dragon body, account for at least 55 or even 65%. Factors such as different abilities I got from others, occupy nearly 25 to even 30% of my strength and

spell-like abilities, psychic powers, spells, and magic power are added together, and they account for between 10 and 20% at most.

However, if I learn the highest-tier spells of the seventh and eighth tiers and brush up my proficiency to the Nature level, then my strength will definitely improve by a good margin.

When she heard that the item I was going to purchase turned out to be the highest-level spell, heart pupils appeared in Lilith's eyes, and she was so excited that she wished she could have sex with her master right then and there.

Fortunately, the waitersess selected by the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce still had basic qualities.

Lilith suppressed her excitement and flipped through the magic book to the page of the top magic product. Then, she raised her hands high and let me choose.

Eighth-Tier Spell - [Slave Soul]: After the spell hits, and the soul judgment is successful, caster can enslave the opponent's soul and control the opponent's life and death. (The upper limit of entry-level servitude is three, the upper limit of master-level servitude is six, and the upper limit of return-level servitude is twelve.)

Eighth-Tier Spell - [Law Shock]: Say a magical word, and after the vitality test is successful, caster can overwhelm the will of a single creature within sight, making its body unable to move.

Eighth-Tier Spell - [Anti-Magic Field]: Centered on oneself, it isolates the magical energy that permeates the multiverse within a certain area, making all magic and magical equipment below the god-like level ineffective.

After spending some time thinking, I selected the above three spells to purchase.

"That's it for these three doors," I said calmly.

Lilith smiled and said, "Sir, that will be a total of 4.3 million standard lower-level magic crystals, or 430 million standard gold coins, or equivalent items~ Lilith will give you an estimate~"

When I heard the quotation, I secretly thought it was very expensive. Although I did not have the greedy nature of a dragon, I felt a little distressed at the moment.

In the previous battle of the Albit Kingdom, the Black Wing Lair plundered the entire royal city and obtained approximately more than 200 million gold coins. (The royal family fled with their valuable treasures, but most of the wealth of the royal city's people and ordinary wealth was not taken away.)

It was heartbreaking, but wealth is of little use if you keep it around. It's better to convert it into strength—it's more reliable.

As soon as I thought that, ripples appeared in the space, and a large number of gold coins, silver coins, magic cores, and magic crystals fell crazily to the ground.

Lilith, at the side, reacted quickly. As soon as the ring in her hand flashed, a large amount of treasure was collected into it. While collecting, she calculated the value of the treasure.

A moment later, after a total of 430 million standard gold coins worth of treasures were released from the storage space, I stopped using the storage spell and looked at Lilith.

"Sir, I will bring you the spell scroll right away~ Wait a moment~"

After calculating the treasure correctly, Lilith gave me a wink and then walked behind a vortex space door.

After a while, Lilith appeared again, holding three exquisite wooden boxes. She walked out and handed them to me.

I checked them and found no problem, then put them directly into the spell storage space.

Seeing that I was about to leave after finishing, Lilith became anxious and clung to me again, complaining,

"Master Barbatos, you haven't played with your little pet for a long time~ It's hard to come here, why don't you go and play with me~"

I stopped and took the latter into my arms expressionlessly, then strode outside the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce.

Castle.

After spending half a day walking along the path with a pleasant temperature and sending the reluctant Lilith away, I arrived at the backyard of the castle.

The sword demon Cisse and the snake demon Salonia had been waiting for me here for a long time.

"Have you collected the information?" I glanced at the two demon servants and said indifferently.

Cisse and Salonia quickly stood up and knelt down, bowing their heads. The latter raised a scroll with both hands and said, "Master, we have only collected five target pieces of information so far."

"Five?" I frowned slightly but didn't say anything. With a move of my hand, the scroll held by Salonia fell into my hand.

I opened it and took a look.

Barlow – A powerful fire demon suspected of being a pseudo-legend. He often appears in the West Lava Mountains.

Abyssal Hydra – Suspected to be a legend, frequently spotted at Explosive Waterfall.

Six-Armed Snake Demon

Fallen Giant

Vampire Duke

After seeing the collected information, I nodded with satisfaction and said in appreciation,

"Well done. Keep collecting."

"Yes!" The two demons responded respectfully.

After a while, when the two demons looked up, they found that their master had already disappeared.

In the castle, in a quiet room, I, having transformed into my true form of a sixty-meter-long black dragon, blocked out all distracting thoughts and began to practice the eighth-tier spell of enslaving the soul with full concentration.

---

A few months later, over the West Lava Mountains that stretched for thousands of miles, I, a three-meter-tall dragon in human form, was invisible and suspended, my sharp eyes scanning below.

Sometimes, my figure flashed, appearing in another place.

A few hours later, I stopped over a thousand-meter-high, seemingly ordinary active volcano.

My powerful spiritual power swept across the bottom unbridled, immediately waking up the strong figure sleeping in the active volcano.

As a thick magma column erupted, a Balor Balrog, more than ten meters high, with a pair of wide devil wings on its back and covered in black and red, flew out. His frightened and angry eyes swept across the sky, and he soon discovered my invisible figure. Sensing the neither-strong-nor-weak aura on my body, a ferocious smile suddenly appeared on Balor's face.

"Dragon man? Are you looking down on me by using such a low-level invisibility spell?! Ah!"

The Balor Fire Demon roared, and his hands condensed two blazing pillars of fire, blasting them toward my invisible dragon-like form.

The Balor Flame Demon still had a sinister smile on his lips when he saw a terrifying black dragon, over 60 meters tall, protruding from the violent explosion's special effects. The fire pillar of terrifying temperature licked its body without causing any harm.

The black dragon looked indifferently at the Balor Fire Demon across from him, opened its mouth, and instantly blasted the opponent with a thick black water breath several meters wide.

It was the special alienated talent Black Water, originating from the legendary Black Water Crab.

The Balor Fire Demon looked in horror at the sudden appearance of the terrifying black dragon and the black water breath that attacked it. Flapping its wide demonic wings, it barely managed to avoid the black water breath. Then, an evil light flashed across its body, and it was about to teleport away.

As the highest-ranking member of the Balrog clan, the Barlow Balrog could reach the Great Demon level (equivalent to master level) upon reaching adulthood and could also awaken multiple powerful innate spells from its bloodline.

Instant teleportation was one of them.

"It's too slow."

Just as the Balor Fire Demon was about to activate teleportation, a huge black dragon claw passed through space without a sound, pinching its head. Then, the massive dragon claw squeezed hard.

With a click, the head of the Balor Fire Demon—harder than high-grade metal—split into pieces.

The originally condensed evil aura on its body dimmed instantly, and its massive form plummeted toward the earth.

But in the next moment, the seemingly dead, headless Balor Fire Demon erupted with powerful flame energy, and its head regrew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In mid-air, the Black Dragon Lord observed this scene indifferently, the spell in his mouth nearing completion.

[Eighth-Tier Spell: Soul Enslavement]!

An invisible spiritual light entered the Balor Fire Demon's body. The latter's body froze slightly. After struggling for more than ten seconds, it gradually calmed down. At this time, its head had also fully recovered.

The Black Dragon Lord suddenly fell to the ground from mid-air, splashing lava all over the ground. The Balor Balrog, who had reached the Great Demon level, had a flame domain, and anything within a certain range would be affected by this domain and gradually turn into a land of magma.

Where a legendary Balor Fire Demon resides, within a few decades, a volcanic complex will be born in this area.

"Barro, I've met the master." The fifteen-meter-tall Balor Flame Demon half-knelt in front of the black dragon. After struggling for a moment, he finally lowered his head and spoke respectfully.

I nodded slightly, not caring about the unwilling look in Barro's eyes.

Soul Slavery is an eighth-tier spell that forcibly enslaves the soul, but it does not erase the intelligence of the enslaved creature, nor can it change the mind of the enslaved creature itself. Unlike my Son of Death ability.

Therefore, reluctance, hatred, and resentment are all normal.

But no matter what, as long as the caster himself does not lift this spell, the recipient can only obey all the orders of the caster for the rest of his life and cannot betray or even do anything detrimental to the master.

"Shrink your size and follow me." I looked at the Balor Demon kneeling in surrender, a trace of satisfaction flashing in my red dragon eyes.

Now, I have another servant with pseudo-legendary combat power under my command. And it's from the same race as the one who blew up and took my food with it—it has even evolved into a demon.

My purpose in purchasing the eighth-tier spell of enslaving souls was to recruit a group of powerful servants as helpers.

Although I can control the other party's life through a dependent contract or a distorting seed, both require the other party to voluntarily surrender in order to be successfully concluded and cannot be forcibly enslaved. Especially with the distorting seed—it lowers the requirements, but if a strong individual resists it, it won't be successful.

Just like when I conquered Diaharut before, I had to endure the opponent for a period of time and break down their psychological defense before Diaharut voluntarily surrendered.

But how many weaklings like Diaharut are there who can become strong?

The vast majority of strong individuals would rather die than become someone else's servant or slave.

In this case, the spell of forcibly enslaving the soul is very valuable.

Half a day later, in a corner of the Abyss, there was a wasteland.

In a magma lake covering hundreds of kilometers, an exaggerated black fallen evil giant, at least thirty meters tall, was sleeping soundly.

Suddenly, the fallen evil giant opened his eyes, which were bigger than a bathtub, and punched the space in front of him.

Under the terrifying energy shockwave, the figure of Barro Balor appeared and was sent retreating hundreds of meters.

When the evil giant saw that the one who attacked him turned out to be a Fire Balor Balrog, he angrily pulled out a black-and-red metal rod, more than twenty meters long and four to five meters thick, from the magma lake and smashed it at the opponent.

Barro looked at the attacking metal rod, his pupils shrinking as his figure flashed, disappearing in an instant and reappearing above the evil giant.

As soon as the evil giant raised its head, a pillar of flame more than ten meters thick enveloped it.

Although the evil giant was extremely resistant to fire, Barro's fire attack was a special flame, which immediately burned its skin and flesh to pieces, causing extreme pain.

"Ahhhh, it hurts!"

A large amount of black rock condensed on top of the evil giant's head, forming a huge oval defensive shield to withstand the bombardment and burning of the flame pillar.

The two sides went back and forth, their fight growing increasingly intense.

While the two sides were engaged in fierce battle, I, in my black dragon form, appeared behind the evil giant silently. The third demonic eye opened, and an invisible yet terrifying spiritual shock struck the evil giant.

Sensing the threat of death, the evil giant instinctively tried to evade, but it was only a 19th-order evil giant. How could it possibly avoid my sneak attack?

Even a legendary evil giant who had reached the first level would find it difficult to avoid!

Buzz~ The evil giant let out a painful scream, half-knelt on the ground, and rolled around in agony.

I looked at the suffering evil giant and felt a little more confident in the power of the spiritual attack from the Dark Demon's Eye, which had advanced to the third level.

'Just 30% of the mental attack can make the evil giant, at the peak of the 19th order and reaching pseudo-legendary combat power, lose its ability to act autonomously. If I go all out, it is estimated that it will also have a strong stun control effect on a legendary powerhouse at the first level,' I thought to myself.

Legendary powerhouses, whose souls have transformed, sublimated, and materialized, are almost two entirely different forms of life compared to creatures below legend.
