Chapter 363 - 270: The Spectral Dragon Legion, Marching Towards the Plaster Nation!
With a defense map of Tokyo City at hand, the subsequent arrangements couldn’t be simpler.
Of course, Lord Zi also got a copy of the defense map from Yamamoto Kazuo, and by comparing the two, there were some minor discrepancies.
On the map provided by Gill, areas marked were special military blockade zones, whereas on Yamamoto Kazuo’s map, those places were guild locations.
Clearly, it was obvious whose information was more credible.
Nonetheless, Lord Zi wouldn’t completely trust either defense map; necessary reconnaissance couldn’t be omitted.
This was a matter concerning personal safety, so being extremely careful was not an overstatement!
"Edward, team up with the Phantom King and scatter the vampires and spectres; it would be best if you could infiltrate Tokyo City and its surrounding Satellite Cities. I need to get a clear picture of their garrison situation," instructed Lord Zi.
Summoning the Vampire King Edward, Lord Zi straightforwardly issued the mission order.
The vampires and spectres he summoned himself couldn’t exceed five times the detection distance of his Spirit, or they would automatically be returned to the Netherworld.
However, the undead creatures from the Necro Realm were different, especially those under the command of the eight leaders of the Undead Race.
Zi Liyuan had only signed servant contracts with the eight Undead leaders; he had not made any contracts with their Undead BOSSes.
Therefore, once these undead creatures were released from the Necro Realm, they wouldn’t be restricted by distance!
And for gathering intelligence, it was best to leave the task to the vampires and spectres.
The vampires could transform into bats and stealthily infiltrate towns during the night. Find adventures at NovelBin.Côm
As for the spectres, they were even more convenient; they could turn ethereal, which was even more powerful than invisibility. Aside from emanating an aura of gloom or death, as long as they didn’t materialize, they were invisible to the naked eye!
In a country proud of revering eight million spirits and deities, spectres were among them. So the question for the Wokou was whether they worshipped or outright slayed them.
"Master, give me one day, I will investigate everything clearly!" Edward assured, while using a special sonar voice transmission to notify the Phantom King, and directly contacted several capable subordinates he had initially turned, exploiting the special hierarchy of vampires.
Within just a few seconds, the Phantom King arrived with a flickering motion, almost as if he’d teleported.
After another dozen seconds, a large swarm of bats flew in; as they reached Edward, they coalesced into groups and then transformed into human shapes.
...
After issuing the order, Zi Liyuan directly summoned the Spectral Dragon, Kulong.
"Kulong, summon all the BOSS-level Bone Dragons over. I need to sign contracts with them and then promote their evolution into Spectral Dragon Lord BOSSes," Zi Liyuan decreed.
During the battle with the foreigners, Kulong’s Bone Dragon Legion had not suffered lightly, but the majority of the fallen were not the BOSS-template Bone Dragons.
"As you command, Master! Roar~!" Kulong smashed his huge Bone Dragon head to the ground respectfully, then opened his massive maw, sending forth a soul cry, instantly covering the entire Castle of the Undead.
The next moment, the summoned Bone Dragon Bosses, flapping their tattered wings, took to the sky and flew towards their leader’s location.
In just over a minute, countless silhouettes of Bone Dragons appeared suspended in the sky.
"Over eight hundred? That many BOSS-template Bone Dragons."
"Originally, there were over a thousand BOSS-template Bone Dragons, but the previous battle saw a loss of over two hundred. However, they haven’t completely perished; their Dragon Souls have been sucked into the Dragon Soul Mirror, where they can be resurrected with the right dragon bones," explained Kulong.
The Dragon Soul Mirror, a legendary item crafted by the Undead Mage Andrew, could aid in the evolution of Bone Dragons into Spectral Dragons.
This item had other uses too, specifically to absorb the Dragon Souls of fallen Bone Dragon Bosses and store them within the mirror, so they could be resurrected with suitable dragon bones.
Compared to the other seven Undead Species, the Bone Dragon held a significant advantage as the top military unit in the Castle of the Undead.
For Undead Mages, procuring dragon bones wasn’t difficult; the real challenge was obtaining Dragon Souls.
For death occupation practitioners, the loss of any Dragon Soul was unacceptable!
Hence, any death occupation practitioner capable of summoning Bone Dragons for combat would go to great lengths to minimize the loss of Dragon Souls.
Therefore, it didn’t surprise Zi Liyuan that the Dragon Soul Mirror could capture the souls of fallen Bone Dragon Bosses.
"Come down one by one to sign the contracts and receive evolutionary resources."
This move significantly bolstered the strength of the Spectral Dragon Legion, all the more for Lord Zi, who even brought out the purple altar, ready to imprint the Dragon Souls into it while signing the contracts, acquiring the formidable ability of Replicas!
It could be said that after this round of contracts, the Spectral Dragon Legion was truly formed, with thousands of Spectral Dragons, and using the Replicas ability, the numbers would instantly jump to seven thousand.
With such a force, Lord Zi could absolutely dominate in Blue Star; anyone with a sound mind wouldn’t dare provoke him.
The contracting process lasted several hours, nearly exhausting his spirit.
Eight hundred and twenty-six Bone Dragon Bosses, after being contracted, each received a [Heart of the Lord] and used it on the spot. The sky clouded over with a ominous darkness, with death energy spiraling into vortexes pulled from all directions.
At this moment, the Spectral Dragon, Kulong, felt like crying.
