Words:1959Update:22/09/16 05:56:26
The Archmage's Staff was a famous artifact.
Its most powerful ability was that it could be used together with the Anti-Detection Cloak. It could become invisible at any time and anywhere, and it could not be seen by magic or the naked eye.
This artifact used to be Søren's favorite item, but after he mastered the [Shadow] Priesthood, his need for the Archmage's Staff had decreased a lot. However, this artifact still had a lot of uses. Even if Søren could not use it, it was still an invaluable treasure for any mortal.
Ildis had a lot of good things on him.
However, most of them were not of much value to Søren. The only thing that piqued his interest was the two staffs.
The first was the Archmage's Staff.
The second was the Sarflas Scepter.
Compared to the Archmage's Staff, the Sarflas Scepter looked much more mysterious. The Sarflas Scepter was carved out of gray wood, about four feet long, and inlaid with nine star-blue gems. A diamond with a diameter of one inch with the emblem of Sarflas the All-Seeing was embedded at the bottom of the scepter. Another diamond with a diameter of three inches with a thousand facets on it could not be made by mortals. Finally, a diamond with the emblem of the [God of Mages] – Azuz was embedded at the top of the scepter.
When Søren received the scepter, he could not identify its attributes.
The Sarflas Scepter was covered with divine power. It was not only the power of the sealed Sarflas the All-Seeing, but also the power of the God of Mages, Azuz.
"The power of the Priesthood of Mages has been transferred to the scepter?"
Søren clenched the Sarflas Scepter in his hand and murmured, "No wonder Ildis was willing to betray the Church of the Goddess of Magic to take him away."
Ildis wanted to become a God.
He also wanted to obtain the power of the Priesthood of Mages. That was why he took the risk and escaped to the Red Dragon Mountains with the scepter.
"Saint Form!"
In order to explore the mystery of the fall of the God of Mages, Søren penetrated the scepter with his God-level perception. He wanted to know if Azuz's soul was hidden in it.
However.
What surprised Søren was that Azuth's soul wasn't among them. It looked like he had really fallen. What he sensed was a tortured soul. It was none other than the Prophet, Savras. This soul was very weak, and its consciousness was rather blurry. It seemed that a lot of its power had been extracted.
The Red Dragon Mountain Range was not a place to stay for long.
Søren imprisoned Ildis's soul and opened the portal with the two staffs and the loot.
He was ready to return to Modor City.
But!
At this moment, an angry roar suddenly rang out.
Immediately after, an astonishing Dragon's Aura shrouded down from the top of the mountain. Accompanied by a raging gust of wind, a huge monster descended from the sky and landed outside the cave!
"Who is it!?"
"Which lowly insect dares to sneak into the lair of the Ancient Red Dragon, Frostra!"
The dull dragon's voice was filled with boundless anger. A huge dragon head appeared outside the cave. The terrible Dragon's Aura made all the nearby creatures not dare to approach it easily. A burning flame appeared in front of Søren's eyes. It seemed that as long as Søren's answer was not satisfied, the Red Dragon in front of him would burn him to ashes with its terrible dragon breath.
He was too careless.
Søren had just killed Ildis. For a moment, he forgot the existence of the Ancient Red Dragon, and he even forgot that he was under its lair.
Ancient Dragons were all very cautious.
They had rich life experience. Under normal circumstances, the lair of an Ancient Dragon was many times more dangerous than that of an adult Dragon. This was because they would fill their lair with all kinds of magic traps and warning spells over a long period of time. Ildis sneaked all the way here without using a teleportation spell. This was because the Ancient Red Dragon's lair could sense the teleportation spell's mark near it. This was very likely to expose its existence. Søren was in a hurry to return to Modor City after killing Ildis. He forgot about this Ancient Red Dragon for a moment. Just when he was casting a Greater Teleportation spell, the power of the spell alarmed the Ancient Red Dragon.
The surrounding space was sealed.
The cunning Ancient Red Dragon immediately cast Dimensional Anchor to lock the space. Søren could not leave unless he mobilized the power of Divinity.
However.
At this time, Søren was not so afraid of an Ancient Red Dragon.
His figure slowly walked out of the cave. After seeing the staff in his hand, the Ancient Red Dragon's eyes burst into a dazzling light in an instant. It said in a deep voice, "Human! Give me the staff in your hand! The great Frostra will forgive you for offending me! "
The light of greed appeared.
Even an idiot could see that the staff in Søren's hand was not ordinary. Not to mention, with the knowledge of an Ancient Red Dragon, it was not difficult for it to recognize the Scepter of Savras.
"Don't let greed blind your eyes."
Søren's mouth showed a mocking smile. He slowly stood in front of the huge Ancient Red Dragon and said calmly, "Look at who I am first!"
At this time.
The Ancient Red Dragon looked away from the artifact with difficulty, and then it looked at Søren in front of it and reached out its hand.
The next moment.
The Ancient Red Dragon Frostra's huge body trembled, and then its head immediately lowered. There was a trace of fear in its voice, "Shadow Lord – Søren! … "
"Frostra doesn't know you're coming! … "
"Please forgive me for offending you just now! You can leave here at any time! … "
The glory of the gods could not be hidden from the Ancient Red Dragon.
In particular, Søren did not hide his power, so when the Ancient Red Dragon saw his Holy Form, it immediately knew his identity.
Then, fear was born uncontrollably.
Søren stroked the Scepter of Savras in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the Ancient Red Dragon in front of him. He smiled and said, "It seems that there is a price to pay for offending you."
"Then."
"If you offend me, what price should you pay?"
"[Shadow] Realm!"
"[Death] Realm!"
"[Slaughter] Realm!"
The power of the three realms shrouded the nearby space and blocked all the escape routes of the Ancient Red Dragon in an instant.
Søren slowly took a step forward and said with a chuckle, "How should I punish you? You should know that the price of offending a god is not light! "
Cold sweat appeared.
The Ancient Red Dragon in front of him could not help but take a step back. Its voice was no longer as strong as before. It whispered, "Great Shadow Lord! I am willing to compensate you for the offense just now! … "
"Look!"
"This is Mithril from the Underdark. This is a gem from the Southern Islands. I am willing to give it all to you! "
There was a hint of pain on the Ancient Red Dragon's face, but it still opened a Space Portal, and then took out a large piece of Mithril and hundreds of gems. For the dragons, being willing to take out their own treasures as an apology was already a great concession. After all, they were all misers.
Søren accepted it without hesitation.
As Søren accepted these things, the Ancient Red Dragon's face also showed a hint of relief, because this meant that Søren accepted its apology.
If Søren did not take these things, it was afraid that it would be ready to fight immediately.
Because no one could offend the majesty of a god and not pay the price. If Søren did not accept these things, it meant that the price it paid was not serious enough. The True God in front of it intended to make it pay a more painful price.
