Still missing a bit of catalyst.

Chapter 105

Rossiter District Volcano.

Heavy volcanic clouds are piled up in the sky, and the dark masses of cloud are clearly delineated.

In the apocalyptic blackness, the scarlet flickering crater was faintly visible, slowly spewing hot, burning magma outward.

The dragon's scales reflected the thick clouds and fire.

At that moment, as if it had sensed something, it suddenly raised its eyes and looked in a certain direction in the distance.

The golden-red pupils were hidden behind the clouds, and against the backdrop of the volcano and the smoke, it was as if they had been born in the flames.

The narrow pupils were slightly constricted, as if they were a narrow slit.

Strange.

Shi An closed her eyes and felt it again.

Yes, it is indeed the scent of the Abyss.

Faint and distant, but clear and distinct.

It doesn't seem like it was just summoned, rather it seems like ...... it's been gestating for a long time.

Shi An thought for a few seconds, and then spread his huge silver-white wings.

Wings swirling with heat, air currents swirling with sparks.

The giant dragon rose up in the black clouds.

He flew in that direction.

*

In the volcanic crater.

"......"

The three demons were dumbfounded.

Their eyes skimmed over the obvious traces of engagement and killing not far away, then slowly looked to the other side of the piles of treasure, and finally landed on the man with an icy face in front of them, "............ ......"

Must have drilled our way out of the bag the wrong way.

The three demons stood stagnant for a moment, then turned their heads in unison, and plunged back toward the place where they had burrowed out.

In the next second, they were simultaneously knocked on their heads.

The cold blade of the sword lay between them and the entrance to the bag, glinting chillingly in the dim light.

Three Devils: "......"

They slowly turned their heads and looked once again at the man in front of them whose sword was blocking their way.

The other's long silver-white eyelashes hung low, and his azure eyes took on a chilly texture.

At once, the three demons felt their eyes go black.

Finished.

Not a dream.

Mu Hang moved his fingers slightly.

The three demons let out a miserable scream in unison.

In the next second, they felt an invisible magic force restraining them, no matter how they stomped their arms and legs, struggled or attacked, they were unable to break free from such a bondage and could only be forced to float.

Zhuo Fu looked at the three demonic creatures in front of him with a subtle expression.

An ugly demonic worm with a black body and a human face.

A black, unfixed form, with blurred if hidden features.

As well as a large black and red eye with thin thread-like arms and legs.

Really ......

What about the ugly ones that each have their own characteristics.

"Damned humans! Where have you gotten the lord?!"

Eyeball bluffed and shook his two thin hands, waving them wildly in the air in attack, menacingly threatening:

"Don't you make me do it!"

The Demon Worm grimaced and agreed, "Yes, yes! You bunch of despicable and shameless humans! Let us go if you're sensible!"

They couldn't hit the human in front of them, and most of those swings out landed on the black smoke caught in the center.

"......"

The blurry mass of smoke became even more distorted in shape as it was caught from left to right.

Zhuo Fu: "......"

Why does it feel like it's not very smart?

Wen Yao, who was on the side, stepped forward, his eyes falling on the three demons in front of him, and said, "Sir, they might know where the gargoyles are going."

Zhuo Fu shook his head not very approvingly:

"Well ...... I'd say that's unlikely."

These three demons were so weak that it was unlikely that the gargoyle would inform them of his whereabouts.

Plus ...... based on the way they popped out of the bag just now, they probably don't know as much information as they do.

"But it's the only lead we have." Wen Yao said calmly.

Shi An has been at their side for too long.

In this current situation, the dragons know far more about humans than humans know about dragons, and this intelligence inequality is an irreparable disadvantage for humans.

Especially after the loss of the book on gargoyles and the death of the only person who could decipher it.

The importance of these three demons was self-evident.

The three demons looked at each other.

Where does ...... go?

They caught the key words of what the human in front of them had just said.

So ...... this group of humans is unable to find adults?

Eyeball sneered, "You want us to tell you where your lord has gone? Ugh! How is that possible! Do you think we are the same as humans? Mean and nasty, sinister and shameless!"

Wen Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and his voice chilled:

"Maybe start the torture with this one."

At that moment, Mu Hang's indifferently low voice rang out:

"It?"

"!!!"

The three demons were slightly startled, and at the same time, they twisted their heads towards Mu Hang, who was off to the side.

The silver-haired man's eyes were downcast, his eyes gazing at them inscrutably, no very clear emotion visible in them.

He hasn't said a word from the time he opened the bag until now--

"It knows nothing." Mu Hang said calmly.

The three demons panicked a bit.

For some reason, the joyful man in front of them was giving them much more stress than the human female with her murderous aura.

A vague sense of panic rose in the back of his mind.

"This one isn't even a Megalodon belonger."

Mu Hang's eyes fall to the eyeballs, narrowing slightly.

The eyes couldn't help but shiver the moment they were stared at, and looked at the human not far away with some trepidation, his heart turning over in shock.

This, how did this human know?

Wen Yao was also slightly stunned as she looked at the other two demons and asked:

"What about ...... the other two?"

Mu Hang's eyes paused for a moment on the Demon Worm's body.

The corners of his thin and sharp lips lifted in a cold, unfeeling arc, "Yes, they work."

At this very moment, the communicator hanging on Wen Yao's waist suddenly dripped and rang.

Wen Yao lowers his head and puts the communicator through.

The sound of zippy electricity rang out from across the room, "Thank ...... zip ...... God ...... zip, we finally got through to you guys ...... zip zip ......"

Wen Yao frowned, "What happened?"

As time passed, Wen Yao's face gradually became ugly.

A minute later, she hung up and looked toward Mu Hang, "Reporting sir, an abyssal rift has appeared on the west side of the Rossiter Sector, which also appears to have been artificially created."

Zhuo Fu was startled: "You mean ......"

Wen Yao nodded, "Yes, very similar to that abyssal rift in the last central zone, the breath was blocked during the pre-developmental stage and was not discovered until today, and by the time it was discovered it had already expanded to the mid- or even mid-late stage, and was only one step away from full development and maturity ...... "

Her brow was furrowed in concentration.

An abyssal rift?

The devil worm's heart tightened, and for some reason, it had a premonition ......

Adults are expected to go.

Now that Shi An's true identity has been discovered, the conflicts that had previously been kept hidden are forced into the open, and the conflict between the dragons and the humans is on the verge of eruption.

For the sake of self-preservation, and also to snatch back his treasure, Shi An's first aim now was definitely to regain his strength.

And this abyssal rift naturally became the quickest way.

It doesn't matter, now that humans know Shi An is a dragon, but it's not clear what kind of dragon His Excellency actually is.

They shouldn't have thought of the connection between the dragon and the abyss ......

With this thought, the Demon Worm raised his eyes tentatively, but they met Mu Hang's calm and unperturbed gaze.

"......"

It breathed in.

For some reason, the Demon Worm always had the illusion that all of his thoughts were seen through by the other party.

That's when it suddenly felt something.

The Demon Worm's eyes widened as it looked towards Mu Hang, a hint of disbelief on its face.

Wen Yao looks to Mu Hang:

"Sir, do you need me to reorganize the team and head for-"

She was cut off before she could finish her sentence by Mu Hang, "No need."

Wen Yao wrinkles his brow, "But ......"

Mu Hang lifted his eyes toward the other Administration members who were tending to the wounded not far away, "What makes you think they'll be able to withstand the next battle?"

Wen Yao choked and subconsciously turned his head towards the team members behind him.

Each of them was strewn with blood and mud, one face pale and weak.

There are simply too many wounded.

The chief is right.

After the earlier fighting, they were now in dire need of reorganization and rest, and most importantly, medical assistance.

Wen Yao s brows tightened and he gritted his teeth, "But that abyssal rift ......"

It had already developed to an advanced stage, and it was unknown how many Abyssal Species had been released from it, and if it were to fully develop, the entire Rust Region would probably be reduced to hell on earth.

Mu Hang: "Leave this to me."

Wen Yao: "......"

She knew very well that this was the only solution now.

The brown-skinned female adjutant took a deep breath and saluted Mu Hang, "You have a safe journey, sir."

Mu Hang nodded.

With a slight flick of his fingers, he hooked the bag that had fallen aside and stuffed the three still squealing demons inside.

Then the man turned away.

Zhuo Fu stared at Mu Hang's distant back, and had an ominous feeling in his heart.

As a researcher, he is far more sensitive to data and information than Wen Yao.

The number of abyssal rifts he had handled was countless, especially every abyssal rift after the appearance of the gargoyles, he had handled almost every one of them.

And now he knows that the dragon is Shi An.

So many bits and pieces of information were strung together.

The first abyssal rift is within the Ability Academy, Shi An's school.

Shi An was killed.

Inside the Abyssal Rift ruins in the Avon district is the old lair of the dragons, and Shi An happens to be there.

The third abyssal rift appeared near the Central District, and Shi An took part in that operation as a supernumerary member of the Administration.

The fourth Abyssal Rift appeared within the Academy of Abilities, and in this one, Shi An disappeared almost simultaneously.

Although he was subsequently found to have been "always" in his house, no one other than Butler could prove it.

Zhuo Fu's eyes moved down and landed on Mu Hang's waist.

He could almost hear the long sword humming with thirst.

Zhuo Fu swallowed with some difficulty.

I don't know why, but he always felt ......

Mu Hang This time, the reason for going is not to deal with that abyssal rift, but to ......

Dragonslayer.

Alone, personally, and in cold blood, he accomplishes his mission.

*

In the Magic Expansion Bag.

The three demons sat at the bottom of the bag, facing each other in silence.

The atmosphere was extremely heavy.

Black Smoke was the first to speak, breaking the silence:

"Do you guys think ...... Lord will run into humans in that abyssal rift?"

"Eh ......"

Black Smoke patted it kindly, ''Don't be too pessimistic, after all, Mu Hang didn't go to the Abyssal Rift to find an adult, right? Didn't that human say? This rift is huge, so maybe we really won't run into it, right?"

Devil Worm didn't speak from the beginning.

It had been feeling extremely distracted since just now.

Mu Hang somehow knew that the eyeball was not a member of the dragon's people, and also knew that it was the demonic creature that had followed the dragon for the longest period of time.

Plus ......

Just now, it was able to genuinely feel a hint of familiarity from Mu Hang's body.

It belonged to Shi An, the scent of the dragon.

And in that instant, the Demon Worm remembered a couple of pieces of information that he had ignored for so long before--

Shi An was able to absorb the power from the Eye of the Abyss when she was at Mu Hang's side, as well as the human aura that she herself had detected in Shi An some time ago.

The once vague and uncertain conjecture gradually became clearer in the Demon Worm's mind.

Apparently, the magic between Shi An and Mu Hang creates a degree of entanglement and assimilation.

This is very rare, but not completely impossible to happen.

And it often emerges from the premise that ......

Body//fluid exchange.

The more powerful the demon and the human, the harder it is for this to happen.

...... unless carried out more than once.

The Demon Worm wailed and grabbed the ground with its head.

No-!!!

But now it couldn't be bothered with grief.

For, like it, Mu Hang now had the same sense of the dragon's bearing.

Then, his purpose for traveling to the Abyssal Rift this time was already very clear.

-Dragon.

*

Shi An flies over the Abyssal Rift.

The sky had grown dark, the thin daylight hidden by a dark, poisonous fog, leaving only the last remnants of the setting sun to fade into the western horizon.

He slowly descended in altitude.

The further down you go, the thicker the fog becomes and the dimmer the light.

From high above, the abyssal fissure below looked like a hideous gaping wound that snaked across the ground, looking extraordinarily ugly.

Countless strangely shaped abyssal species were crawling out from the depths of the abyssal rift.

They have been trapped in the Abyss for over ten thousand years, ever since the Abyss and the other side of the continent were blocked.

The abyss is just too barren.

There is no light, no water, and only the poisoned flesh of magical creatures to eat.

And on the continent, there was fresh, hot, human flesh and blood, souls wrapped in the fragrance of magic, none of which was food for their insatiable thirst.

The abyssal species let out a piercing whine, their scarlet eyes accustomed to darkness flashing with voracious appetite.

And it was at this moment that they suddenly felt a terrifying pressure coming from above their heads.

They tilted their heads and looked overhead.

The silver-white dragon appeared within view.

Sharp wings cut through the heavy overcast, and golden-red vertical pupils looked down mercilessly, descending panic that originated in the distant past.

The abyssal species trembled and cowered, almost incapacitated.

One could only watch as the scorching flames splashed in like rushing waves.

The wilderness turned into a sea of fire.

The demons barely had time to let out a single scream before they were already engulfed by that dragon flame and burned into charred black residue.

Shi An was able to feel the abyssal magic within these magical objects pouring into his body.

But it's still too little.

He smacked his lips a little in disappointment.

After all, Shi An isn't just waking up now.

After devouring two Abyssal Eyes and digesting nearly one, the threshold of magic boost in Shi An's body was getting higher and higher, and the magic power brought by burning these magical creatures was nothing more than a drop in the bucket for him right now.

If you want to get further advancement, I'm afraid you still need to get the Eye of the Abyss.

Shi An looked downward, his eyes landing precisely on a point deep in the abyss.

Through the heavy black fog, he was able to see the familiar black and red eyeball turning at the bottom of the abyss.

Just a shame ......

The magic contained within must be transformed before it can be absorbed.

However, the black smoke that knew about the formation was not by his side, and those Abyssal Stones were left inside the volcanic pit.

Shi An is a little frustrated.

Forget it, let's just keep burning the demons.

He flew a little lower and his vision became clearer.

Shi An was slightly stunned.

He saw that there were many, many Abyssal Stones piled up around the Eye of the Abyss, the ground faintly had the pattern of a formation, and there seemed to be a pitch-black silhouette standing on one side.

What's going on with this ......?

Shi An was a bit confused.

He flapped his wings, bent low, and flew in the direction of the Eye of the Abyss.

The bottom of the abyss.

Dark, shimmering and eerie stone blocks piled up on the ground, surrounding the black and red Eye of the Abyss, forming a huge phalanx.

Scarlet lines snaked across the ground.

The black-robed man stood aside.

His wrists were still sheathed in those purple-black crystals, and the magical enhancement allowed him to stand at the bottom of the abyss without needing to wear any protective equipment.

He tilted his head and gazed at the silver-white dragon that was flying in that direction.

How beautiful, how powerful, how mind-blowing.

When the mercenaries created this abyssal rift, he had already figured out how to utilize it.

Originally, he was going to have Mu Hang take on the dragon and make the dragon realize that the best place for humans to go is to become extinct.

The gargoyle might be injured, but it definitely wouldn't die.

Hate-filled dragons will come here.

Well, now this crack will be able to help it return to full strength, and ...... there will be a little, catalytic function attached to it.

After this, the extinction they have been waiting for will come.

But what the black robed man did not expect was that Mu Hang did not go after him ...... Perhaps a little catalyst is still missing.

But that's something he can handle.

There were a few minor deviations now, but everything was still moving in the direction he expected.

The black-robed man smiled in the darkness.

He took a slow step back and his form disappeared into the darkness.

Shi An fell on the edge of the abyss.

Strangely enough, the silhouettes that had just been seen had now disappeared, leaving only the huge phalanx and the Eye of the Abyss that was faintly emitting a shimmering light in the darkness.

Shi An condescendingly surveyed the phalanx before him.

It wasn't the same as the one drawn by Black Smoke, and to be precise, it was much closer to the one from the Abilities Academy, the one that had been modified to be a spell formation.

...... It is estimated that the group of black robed people left behind.

In other words, it was able to completely transform the magic power in the Eye of the Abyss without the need to spend additional time absorbing it.

The silver-white dragon cocked its head, its golden-red eyes glowing in the darkness.

So kind?

*

The outer edge of the abyssal rift.

Mu Hang's pace faltered slightly as he raised his eyes to the darkness before him.

The black-robed man slowly stepped out from it.

His wrists were sheathed in purple and black crystals, but two were noticeably missing from his right hand, which made it look much older and crumpled.

He opened his mouth:

"You ......"

Before the first word was finished, a sword light wrapped in violence came at him head on.

The black-robed man choked and hurriedly backed away.

He really did not expect, Mu Hang has now completely not give him the opportunity to speak, almost without hesitation, sword sword killing moves.

If the magic increase hadn't still been in effect, the black-robed man had no doubt that he would have been splattered in blood five seconds ago.

He clenched his teeth viciously and jerked back a few steps to pull away.

The silver-haired man's eyes were cold as he came close.

But that at least gave the black-robed man a little breathing room:

"Officer Mu, you don't have to be so hostile to me."

"Dang-"

The clanking sound from the clash of sharp blades rang out, and icy cold light spattered with sparks.

"I came here only to show you the truth."

The black-robed man was fighting and retreating, his voice hoarse with a bit of undisguised malice:

"Do you know why the gargoyle showed interest in you?"

On the second crystal, cracks began to spread like spider webs.

Mu Hang's eyes glittered with an intimidating cold light in the depths of his eyes.

"There is a perception between all fantasy species and their nemesis, or ...... attraction will do."

The black-robed man didn't have time to dodge Mu Hang's next killing move, and could only barely avoid it.

His chest was slashed open with a wound, gurgling blood outward.

However, he acted as if he hadn't noticed, and his speech remained unhurried, "Do you think that giant dragons really have feelings for humans? How could that be."

"It only wants to stay by your side because of your blood, your hair and your eyes ......"

His smile hidden in the darkness slowly widened, "It wants to make a collector's item out of you, like your grandparents did, to hang and admire within its own cave ...... and, of course, like you did in the beginning."

The black-robed man's voice became ghostly.

Mu Hang had previously chosen to fight him instead of going after the dragon, perhaps because in his mind he was no longer so sure.

--In that case, I'll give you the truth.

Give you a reason to keep slaying dragons.

Mu Hang's attack lurched, but in the next second it became even more powerful and terrifying.

"Ka-"

The second crystal shattered and fell apart.

A mouthful of blood spat out from the black-robed man's mouth, and he had to roll backward on the ground in a lousy manner so that he could avoid the sword light that came next.

The blade of the sword was like a rainbow striking the sun, splitting mountains and shattering rocks.

Deep sword marks landed on the place where the black-robed man had just stood.

Mu Hang held his long sword in his hand, and his icy cold sight landed on the black-clothed man not far away:

"You know a lot."

With blood in his mouth, he laughed out madly, "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"

"Yes, why do we know so much about dragons when it is clear that all of this knowledge is sealed away in your Mu family's library, and the only person who could decipher those languages has been killed by us?"

"As I said, I'm here to show you the truth this time."

"The mercenaries summoned the dragon's blood sacrifice from us.

Humans Shi An Get That Mu Family Book, Also From Us ......

On arch-enemies, on dragons ......

We all know more than all of you humans-"

"No, not us, me."

The black-robed man cackled, "Speaking of which, a long, long time ago, this organization worshipped all fantasy species, it was so weak that it would only blindly worship all of them, powerful species from the legends, until I joined ......"

"It was I who brought the knowledge, it was I who brought the resources, it was I who changed the direction of their worship-"

He raised a pale, wrinkled hand and lifted his black hood slowly.

A light and dull silver hair slipped down.

The face, half of which was pale and ugly, as if it had lived for hundreds or thousands of years, while the other half was covered with black and red, rippling and hideous veins, could still be seen, had a pair of blue, as if glacial eyes.

"It was I who brought the dragon."

The human who had been alive for an unknown amount of time gave a wry smile:

"Now ...... do you feel like you're the only one for the dragon?"
