Chapter 217 Dragon Madness Lock
Cassius narrowed his eyes and linked his consciousness to the dragon's eye.

Suddenly, a white dragon's head appeared in the field of vision, poking out from the void and spewing out frosty breath.

"It's on the left."

He spewed flames in that direction ahead of time, and swung his claws, creating a claw-shaped flickering stance.

As soon as the white dragon's head stretched out, it was charred by the flames, and then three deep scratches were left by the scratching technique, and blood splattered.

The red dragon then flapped its wings and swooped forward like a ghost, trying to seize the opportunity to capture the monster, but the monster soon disappeared into the void again, leaving him empty-handed.

Wagner's disembodied voice echoed throughout the tower.

"Red Dragon, do you know why I call myself the Dragon Mad Black Wizard?"

Yet Cassius did not offer a meaningless response.

He was gathering all his energy in his lungs, preparing to exhale with all his might, so as to kill Wagner with one blow the next time he showed up.

Seeing no response, Wagner did not get angry, but just asked and answered himself. The sound was unpredictable, making it difficult for Cassius to determine the location by the source of the sound.

"I have already succumbed to fate and no longer want to resist. I just want to stay safe under the cover of the dragon. Haha, what a joke."

"But... the red dragon we served suddenly went crazy! He spewed out flames and killed all the people who were performing the Dragon Cult ritual. He also swallowed Catherine alive in front of me. I only managed to escape with the help of magic."

"After escaping, I frantically collected those ancient secrets, and even went to those ruins thousands of years ago. Finally, I found the so-called Dragon Madness Mystery Lock from a book from the last era."

Cassius's expression suddenly changed.

The dragon is mad at the lock.

That is the thing in the legend that ended the reign of dragons.

Tens of thousands of years ago, before the reign of the giants and the wars of the elves, dragons ruled over all lesser races at will. The elves in particular resented the dragons' enslavement and sought ways to free themselves from their oppression.

After years of secret research and debate over cost and risk in the cold north, the elves crafted the Dragonmadness mythal, a permanent masterpiece of elven high magic and one of the most powerful spells.

The Dragon Madness mythal caused all dragons to become reckless, wreaking havoc on their lands, slaughtering their offspring and servants, leaving only destruction in their wake, and was a major factor in the end of the dragon's reign.

This "dragon frenzy" erupts every few decades or even centuries, and seems to be related to the power of the "King Killer Star" in the starry sky.

"How dare you use this forbidden power! Aren't you afraid of the wrath of the Dragon Gods?"

The red dragon gnashed his teeth.

Because the situation has become uncontrollable, if he is affected by the god-level spell like Dragon Madness Lock, he will definitely not have a good ending.

He finally understood why Wagner was so crazy. He was lucky not to lose all his sanity after studying this forbidden power.

Yet Wagner's voice continues.

"You are scared, Cassius. Haha, it's not bad to have the red dragon as the beginning of everything and the red dragon as the perfect ending."

"Dragons are greedy and lazy creatures that are born with immense power. Their sharp teeth can easily tear mortals apart, their fiery breath can easily destroy cities, and they even have unpredictable spellcasting abilities."

"As Tiamat's favorite, this is especially true for you, red dragon. I have been keeping an eye on you since you were a young dragon. I have witnessed with my own eyes how you have grown into the behemoth you are today in just ten years. Some of your methods are beyond even my recognition."

"But. Why?"

The voice suddenly rose an octave and became passionate.

"Why can you change my fate at will?"

"Why should I willingly become your slave just because I was captured by the Cult of the Dragon?"

"They all say I'm crazy, but I know I'm not. I've spent a hundred years of hard work and even sacrificed my own daughter for this, just to be able to compete with you, or even surpass you, and become a greater being than the Dragon God." Finally, Wagner's voice turned into a crazy laugh, overlapped with dragon roars, and countless miserable wails.

The strong fluctuation of magic power caused the ground to tremble.

Within the thirty floors of the Midnight Demon Tower, the roars of monsters were heard all at once. Their blood filled with dragon veins and their hideous limbs were transported up by an invisible force field and finally merged into the monsters' bodies in the void.

Along with the roaring sound, the spire of the tall tower suddenly opened up like a blooming flower, revealing the endless dark night.

This is Wagner's nine-ring spell.

[Shadow of the King-killing Star]

A red comet appeared in the night sky like a malicious eye - that was the illusion of the King Killer Star.

It seemed to sense Wagner's call, becoming more solid, slightly flashing red light, as if looking at the giant dragon on the earth with contempt.

Wagner only activated one ten-thousandth of the power of the Dragon Madness Chain, but it brought a great sense of oppression to Cassius.

At this moment, the top of the tower is like an altar.

And under the moonlight, the monster finally revealed his true form.

At this moment, he is no longer his original appearance, but an existence combined with more dragon monster limbs - five white dragon heads are on the top, hundreds of limbs are stretched out, six pairs of wings are on both sides, supporting the huge body, and twelve slender tails of different shapes are like stretched out vines.

Wagner's human head is embedded in the chest, giving the whole a strange sense of harmony.

It turned out that the five-headed dragon monster was just a failed material, and this was his final experimental subject - that was himself.

This is a twisted monster modeled after Tiamat. It took hundreds of years and consumed countless lives, even five real white dragons, and the combined power of the entire Midnight Demon Tower to create the monster we see today.

“What a pity! With the white dragon, I would have six heads, surpassing Tiamat.

"But it doesn't matter. Now, there's also you."

The dragon heads and human heads spoke at the same time, and the overlapping voices rang out again. Six pairs of eyes looked straight at Cassius, and their eyes were filled with endless fanaticism, as if covered by a layer of light red mist.

"Join me in my Dragon Rage!"

Reason soon disappears from it, leaving only the desire to destroy everything else.

"Roar--"

Those several dragon head skulls roared madly at the same time.

Cassius tried his best to avoid looking at the twinkling and increasingly solid red star in the night sky.

But the violent power that lasted for tens of thousands of years inevitably affected his brain, making him more reckless and anxious.

He tried his best to build a mental barrier and maintain his sanity.

"The spell has not been completed yet. Once the phantom fully appears, I am afraid that even I will fall into dragon frenzy. I must kill Wagner completely before the spell is completed."

“And during this time”

"No harm must come to you."

According to the memories in his inheritance, when under the influence of Dragon Madness, if a dragon is damaged in battle, it will go completely crazy and scratch and bite madly until either it or its enemy dies.

Thinking of this, Cassius flapped his wings, rose rapidly into the sky, and looked down at the huge monster that occupied most of the top of the tower.
