Chapter 277 - 63: Eternal Dark God
In response to Udi’s words, Babakar remained silent, his eyes glancing around, observing the rapidly recovering, battered body of the fishman.
In the next instant, seizing the moment, he transformed into a deep blue streak of light, intending to vanish into the horizon.
"Foolish."
A cold and low voice echoed in Babakar’s ear, and with a look of fright, he saw a thick, terrifying dragon tail suddenly lash out from the space in front of him, striking the deep blue streak down toward the Dragon Pool, penetrating through the black rock laid beneath the pool and driving hundreds of meters into the ground.
The sudden appearance of a massive crater caused the surrounding water to form a vortex, crazily rushing into it.
Blue blood slowly began to emerge and bubble up from the depths of the crater.
Above the Dragon Pool, the black giant dragon extended dozens of pale blue magical tendrils into the crater. Soon, it dragged out Babakar, whose body was now a bloody mess, unrecognizable as a fishman, and twitching.
Lifting him up close.
Udi looked at the dying giant fishman, observing the mad state flickering between sanity and madness in his pupils, and sighed,
"Gone mad, huh? Can’t have a proper conversation like this... And I haven’t learned any high-level soul magic..."
What a hassle, better to just kill.
A dark light instantly crossed a hundred meters, piercing through the giant fishman’s skull, wildly destroying his life force.
At the brink of death, Babakar’s sanity completely returned, with a flash of strong resentment and hatred in his eyes.
"Em..."
The intense hatred lingered in his heart for a long time, but Babakar soon entered eternal darkness.
Udi looked at the deceased giant fishman, about to collect him into the magic storage space to consume at the next Banquet, when suddenly a crack appeared beside the giant fishman’s corpse, and wisps of illusory gray unknown energy began to seep from his skull.
Udi’s brown-gold dragon eyes squinted slightly, and without hesitation, the still-open Demon Eye was aimed directly at the crack, unleashing a full-power chaotic mental attack.
The invisible mental attack shot into it, and faintly, Udi heard a muffled groan.
"Dare to steal from me?" Upon hearing the voice from the crack, although unsure of the other party’s identity, Udi, recalling some descriptions from inherited knowledge, couldn’t help but speculate.
Soul.
Those wispy thread-like gray gaseous substances were likely the soul of the giant fishman.
The Demon Eye glowed slightly, blasting one mental shockwave after another into the crack.
The unknown presence on the other side of the crack was so terrified they hastily shut the passage.
Seeing this, Udi snorted disdainfully, then looked at the gray aura fluctuating in the air now that the crack was no longer drawing it in.
"How should I collect this thing?" Udi pondered aloud.
Only beings who have reached the Legendary level possess a tangible and substantial soul; before that, souls are not only fragile but also formless, requiring very special methods to observe their existence.
And now, these wispy strands of gray gas suspended in mid-air had already become a tangible presence.
This giant fishman hadn’t comprehended the Legendary Truth, so logically, the soul wouldn’t transform from intangible to tangible. However, the reality was that it had transformed.
Although strange, Udi’s intuition told him this substance was likely valuable.
Perhaps it was related to the eerie power of this defective fishman.
Subsequently, Udi searched through the Dragon’s Legacy for knowledge on the matter, eventually finding a method suitable for collecting the soul in this situation.
Retrieving an old, shed Dragon Scale, unleashing spiritual energy, he crushed it into powder, then under mental and spiritual energy control, shaped it into a pitch-black bottle.
Tossing the bottle next to the swirling gray soul aura, guiding it inside.
Soon, the gray soul aura was fully captured into the black bottle, sealed completely with no escape.
The dragon scale is not only among the best materials for a contract book for the dragons but also possesses various peculiar effects.
Binding the soul was just one effect, involving the fierce momentum of dragons and their spell-like abilities.
After dealing with the fishman’s soul, with a thought, Udi collected the fishman’s body into the magic storage space, planning to consume it at the next Banquet as food.
Though merely a defective Legendary, the quality of the flesh had practically reached the Legendary Level, and the enhancement effect of the Banquet was expected to be quite promising.
Udi looked forward to this very much.
.....
In a corner of the Central Continent, there lies a small patch of dark nether realm.
Strange, luminescent plants, mushrooms, and trees grew on the ground, casting a nebulous glow over the originally extremely dark nether realm.
Faintly, bizarre howling sounds echoed around.
Upon closer examination, this nebulous, desolate dark nether realm teemed with wandering white bone skeletons and rotting zombies.
In the center of the nether realm stood a black and blue tower castle.
Patrolling around the tower castle continuously were powerful black-armored knights.
These knights, beneath their heavy black armor, bore decayed, blue-tinged bodies, and their steeds were undead horses also draped in thick black armor, with eerie green soul flames burning in their skulls’ eye sockets, exuding a fearsome aura.
These undead beings were the high-level undead species - Black Knights.
