That was the world of the snow magical beasts. The Ice Howlers, which were rarely seen now, were the most common magical beasts there. They were at least close to the Legendary-realm, and there were many of them. There were also many prehistoric magical beasts such as Snow Demonesses, Snow Giants, and Iceblast Wyrms. There were many of them that were close to the Sanctuary-realm.
Even the most ordinary Ice Howlers were enough to destroy a so-called elite human army, let alone the powerful magical beasts that were at the pinnacle of existence. Back in the Dragon Mountains, Lin Li had met an Ice Howler that was level-10. That Ice Howler had once caused the elite bandit army of Roland City to return in defeat. In the Dark Age of Roddanmo, level-10 Ice Howlers were considered the lowest level of magical beasts.
Magical beasts could not be expected to abide by the boundaries set by humans. Sentries like the one Rogge was in had always been frequented by magical beasts. At the same time, it was also the place where sentries were most frequently replaced. Or rather, it was more accurate to say that sentries were constantly stationed there. If there were records of the stationed sentries, people might discover that a small sentries had theoretically been stationed by a large army.
Rogge became a sentinel that hovered between the line of life and death every day when he came to this sentinel. When he was young, he did not have much courage. The howls of the magical beasts would often wake him up in fright, and he would not be able to sleep again. In fact, if that incident had happened a few days later, Rogge might have become a member of the sentinel army that had disappeared.
That day was the sixth day that Rogge had been at the sentinel. The small pot on the stove was cooking thick brown rice porridge. In this kind of life where they did not know when they would become food for the magical beasts, the only thing the sentinels could do was to not let their stomachs suffer. Hearing the bubbling sound coming from the small pot, Rogge picked it up and walked towards the broken dining table that had been owned by countless owners. He was ready to enjoy his breakfast.
However, at this moment, the ground shook violently. Rogge lost his balance, and the whole pot of brown rice porridge fell to the ground. However, Rogge could not be bothered to pity his breakfast. Such an abnormality could not be caused by one or two magical beasts. This made him think of the terrifying Black Current in the legends.
Roger waited until the earthquake subsided before he crawled up from the ground and carefully looked out of the house. The sentry post was built on high ground. Other than having a wide field of vision, it also made it impossible for people to hide or escape. This was to prevent the sentries from disregarding their duties and running for their lives.
Rogge heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the legendary Blacktide was not in his sight. However, a deafening dragon roar soon resounded, scaring Roger so much that he almost fell to the ground. One had to know that he was still an ordinary person at that time. It was not easy for him to not be scared to death by the dragon's roar.
When Rogge looked in the direction of the voice, he saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
Dark clouds rolled in the gloomy sky. They were so thick that it seemed like they were about to fall on the ground. Amidst the rolling dark clouds, an incomparably large black dragon flapped its meaty wings that could almost cover an entire city. It was like a god looking down on the common people, causing people to involuntarily feel the urge to worship it.
Rogge only knew that the black dragon in the sky was definitely more powerful than all the dragons in the legends. That was because the body of the black dragon was even larger than the most exaggerated dragons in the legends. Rogge, who was just an ordinary person at that time, could only judge the strength of the dragon from its size.
Rogge hid in the small house of the sentry post nervously. Although he knew that the house would not provide him with any protection, he felt a sense of security in it. Just as Rogge was letting his imagination run wild and trying to guess the reason for the appearance of the black dragon, he saw the thick dark clouds in the sky suddenly split apart as if they had been slashed by a sharp sword. A figure appeared in front of the black dragon in the blink of an eye. Judging from the figure's height and build, Rogge vaguely guessed that it might be a powerhouse among the High Elves.
The black dragon and the High Elf that came later confronted each other in the sky for a moment. They seemed to be discussing something, but that was not something that Rogge could know. Then, the negotiations between the two sides seemed to have broken down. The black dragon let out a roar, and the thick clouds around it were dispersed by the roar. The High Elf didn't seem to intend to run either. Although he retreated a little, he immediately began to cast terrifying magic.
At that time, Rogge had never even seen a real mage. He had only heard about magic in the countryside. When it came to magic, a person would disappear with a "boom". He looked at the intense battle in the sky and felt his heart beating faster. As for what magic was being used, he couldn't understand it at all.
For a time, the sky was filled with the roars of dragons and the roars of magic. Waves of powerful energy kept erupting as if the sky was going to be torn apart. The entire space was trembling, and the sentry hut that Rogge was hiding in also creaked as if it was going to collapse.
Given the realm of the Dragon of Destruction and the Immortal King, this battle could even be considered a battle between gods. If there were any mages who could watch from the side, the experience they gained would definitely benefit them for life. Although Rogge didn't know magic back then, he would always feel something whenever he recalled the scene after he became a mage.
However, not to mention that Rogge was just an ordinary person at that time, even a Legendary-mage would find it very difficult to survive in the aftermath of the battle between gods. However, Rogge didn't know if he was lucky or unlucky. Under a coincidence, the death aura emitted by the Immortal King eroded his body, allowing him to survive the battle. However, he couldn't be considered to be alive.
"The Immortal King was blasted away by the magic of the Dragon of Destruction, and he flew straight in my direction. Although he was still very far away, I, who was hiding in the hut, felt a cold aura suddenly engulfing me. Then, as if it had a life of its own, it desperately drilled into my body. Later, I found out that it was the death aura emitted by the Immortal King. After that day, I was also eroded by the death aura, and became a semi-undead creature that was neither alive nor dead. " Rogge paused for a while, and felt a little emotional. If he hadn't been eroded by the death aura, he probably wouldn't have survived that battle. It was also because of the death aura from the Immortal King that he embarked on the path of a Dark Mage. At the same time, he relied on the memory of that battle to continuously improve his strength and reach the Sanctuary-realm.
"The Dragon of Destruction cast the most powerful magic, Doomsday Calamity, and the entire space seemed to have been separated from Anril at that moment. Apart from the space of the battlefield, the surroundings fell into a void. At this time, the Immortal King took out his weapon, which was an ancient bow and seven sharp arrows with different powers.
"When the first arrow was shot, the entire space turned red. The sky was burning with fire clouds, and the ground was flowing with magma.
"When the second arrow was shot, the temperature of the entire space dropped to the extreme, and snowflakes fell. However, when the snowflakes fell into the magma, they didn't melt. Instead, they piled up snow-capped mountains in the magma.
"When the third arrow was shot, the Dragon of Destruction's body suddenly lost its luster, and it seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.
"When the fourth arrow was shot, the Holy Light broke through the void, and the black fog around the Dragon of Destruction quickly melted like snow under the sun.
"When the fifth arrow was shot, the darkness was deeper than all darkness. Even in the black fog of the Dragon of Destruction, it was extremely eye-catching. Wherever it passed, the black fog would be devoured completely.
"The sixth arrow … hit the head of the Dragon of Destruction. I don't know what kind of power it was, but it was just a bolt of lightning, and the head of the Dragon of Destruction was shot off.
"However, the Dragon of Destruction is indeed a Dragon Aspect that can contend with the gods. Even without its head, it still exploded with terrifying power. The Immortal King didn't manage to shoot the seventh arrow in time, and was injured by the counterattack of the Dragon of Destruction. The Dragon of Destruction also took this opportunity to escape immediately. That's all I know. " Rogge sighed and shook his head. Indeed, that god-like existence couldn't be judged by the eyes of mortals. Even without its head, it could still counterattack and escape.
Rogge really didn't know more than Geresco. He was just narrating it from a different perspective. However, Nefa didn't look disappointed. Instead, he said, "I know what happened after that. After the Dragon of Destruction lost its head, it still severely injured the Immortal King. Then, it escaped back to the Blackstone Mountains and slept in the depths of the Blackstone Mountains. It wanted to wait for its power to recover before seeking revenge on the Immortal King. However, at the moment when it was asleep, an arrow passed through time and space and killed it completely. "
"What? Could that be the seventh arrow that the Immortal King didn't shoot? What kind of arrow was that!? " Rogge had always thought that the Immortal King chased after the Dragon of Destruction and killed it completely. He didn't expect it to be just one arrow. Roddanmo was at the northernmost part of the Breezy Plains, and where was the Blackstone Mountains? These two places were probably separated by half a continent. What kind of power did that arrow have to be able to kill the Dragon of Destruction that had entered the depths of the Blackstone Mountains from so far away?
"That arrow seemed illusory and real, as if it didn't exist in this world. It seemed to be able to penetrate all the shackles of this world. Although the Dragon of Destruction had lost its head, and although it had expended a lot of energy to counterattack and escape, it still had the power to stand at the peak of this world. However, that arrow didn't allow it to react at all. It was as if the arrow had always existed in its fatal spot. " Nefa relayed the description of the arrow, but he couldn't imagine what kind of arrow it was during the narration.
There was a moment of silence. Be it Nefa or Rogge, they seemed to have fallen into the imagination of the Immortal King's last arrow.
"Ahem." Lin Li coughed softly and broke the silence. He said to Nefa, "From what you said at the end, could it be that the skeleton of the Dragon of Destruction that Tutankhamun was guarding in the depths of the Blackstone Mountains was complete? Or should I say, the skeleton of the Dragon of Destruction that had only lost its head?"
Lin Li remembered that when he used the magical crystal of the Dragon of Destruction to subdue the Lord of Darkness in the Throne of Darkness, Connoris had once said that there were no more skeletons of the Dragon of Destruction in this world. After the Immortal King killed the Dragon of Destruction, he used all the skeletons of the Dragon of Destruction in the construction of the seven Sky Castles. The only thing that was left behind was an eye of the Dragon of Destruction that was hung in Osric's mausoleum as a decoration.
However, according to Nefa, the Dragon of Destruction had escaped back to the Blackstone Mountains, and was then killed by the Immortal King with an arrow that traveled through time and space. Of course, the Immortal King could have rushed over later to reap his spoils of war. In that case, what was Tutankhamun guarding? Could it be that the Immortal King had deliberately left something behind for Tutankhamun to look after after harvesting the skeletons of the Dragon of Destruction?
Nefa shook his head, and said, "Then you can only ask my younger brother. Under his protection, I didn't have the chance to see the skeletons of the Dragon of Destruction at all. Hence, I don't know what exactly it was like."
"Oh." Lin Li nodded, and then turned to ask Rogge, "You saw the Immortal King shoot down the head of the Dragon of Destruction. In that case, the head of the Dragon of Destruction …"
"I only remember that the head of the Dragon of Destruction fell in the direction of the Breezy Plains," Rogge said after recalling for a while.
Lin Li rubbed his chin. It had been so long, and it seemed that even if he knew the exact location, he wouldn't be able to get the head of the Dragon of Destruction. As for the skeletons of the Dragon of Destruction, Lin Li didn't think about it anymore since Tutankhamun was guarding it. However, it didn't matter, since there was a complete dragon corpse lying in his ring.
After talking about the battle of the gods, Lin Li noticed that Rogge seemed to be in a better state than before. Hence, he didn't want to miss the opportunity, and took the opportunity to ask Rogge about some of the questions he had after advancing to level-24. If not for Rogge's guidance, Lin Li wouldn't have been able to obtain the aura of the Sanctuary-realm even if he had advanced to level-24. Now, although he couldn't be said to have reached the peak of level-24, Lin Li's strength was definitely not inferior to any Legendary powerhouse who was at the peak of level-24 with the aura of the Sanctuary-realm.
In the face of Lin Li's sincere guidance, Rogge didn't hold back his knowledge at all. He didn't hold back at all just because Lin Li wasn't a member of the Darkness Shrine. Nefa, who was at the side, didn't want to be left out, either, and would chime in from time to time. Although he had mastered the Laws of Destruction and Evilness, the knowledge of the Sanctuary-realm was not something that Lin Li could compare to.
On the Eternal Darkness Altar, the high priest of the Darkness Shrine, Sendros, was looking at the bottom of the altar with his hands in his wide sleeves with a sullen expression. He was looking at the big crack that had already been closed by the power of the seal. Behind Sendros were the five high priests of the Darkness Council, and all of them had an unconcealable look of worry on their faces.
