Chapter 267: The Body of Karix
Jezalslak's tone was extremely excited, and he asked in a crazy manner, "Do you know why I dared to invade the main material plane with my real body?"
Cassius did not answer.
Obviously, the demon in front of him didn't intend to let him answer, and continued talking without leaving any time.
"It's sealed here."
“It’s not just me!”
Jezalslak raised his phantom, bony arm again, and the demonic shadow reappeared behind him.
As the heavy iron chains rattled, the complex runes emitted dazzling light, constantly burning the demon's thin body, but still could not stop him from pouring out the tremendous power of chaos.
The entire floating island began to shake violently. The tall mountains in the distance were covered with cracks and eventually shattered. The rubble and gravel raised billowing dust.
When the dust settled, the extremely huge and unimaginable figure appeared under the curtain of emptiness.
"How can it be"
Cassius stood there in a daze, muttering to himself.
His expression suddenly changed, and even his breathing became rapid.
On the horizon of the floating island, there appeared a huge dragon body as majestic as a mountain. It was the shape of a red dragon that he was very familiar with.
The ferocious dragon head was nearly a hundred meters long, and the back covered with bone spurs was like undulating mountains. If the body buried deep in the rocks of the floating island was fully exposed, this red dragon would probably be a thousand meters long - far beyond Cassius's imagination of the "red dragon" and even the entire dragon race.
This red dragon from ancient times still maintained the posture of trying to break free from this floating island. Its huge claws stretched outward, forming the highest peak on the floating island. Even its bloody mouth comparable to the abyss of hell was exaggeratedly opened to the sky.
But heavy chains tightly wrapped around his wings that blocked out the sun, and indestructible rocks tightly wrapped around his torso.
The body that shook the universe had long lost its vitality, and even its scales had become dull. Its lake-like eyes were also motionless, like a pool of turbid dead water. Only in its chest was there a faint, surging light.
It turns out that this red dragon is the real body of the floating island.
To be more precise, this is a divine corpse floating in the astral realm!
Jezalslak looked into the distance, as if admiring the spectacular scenery, with uncontrollable excitement and excitement revealed on his face.
"Praise the Lord of Fire, the Nothing, the World Cleanser - Garix."
"He is the ancestral dragon god who symbolizes pure power and destruction. He is the final natural disaster, and he periodically comes to the main material world to vent the unclean fire of destruction to the human world."
The demon seemed to be chanting an epic opera, or like a devout fanatic, and its passionate voice echoed in the void for a long time.
Then, with an expression of great confidence, he turned and looked at the red dragon incarnation who was standing there in a daze.
"Tens of thousands of years ago, Garix came to the Astral Plane in an attempt to purify this material plane. I took this opportunity to come here with him, wanting to carry out the great will of the Abyss."
"Unfortunately, Garix overestimated his own strength and underestimated the cunning of the gods. They designed to seal Garix. Garix had no choice but to abandon his majestic body and escape with most of his divine power. He was eventually exiled to the uninhabited outer plane - the Tunnels of Noise."
"But this body, which carries the almost undiminished bloodline of the ancestral dragon, was left here. Its existence was concealed by the gods, and its coordinates can only be reached through the Astral Prism. Even Bahamut and Tiamat are not aware of it."
"Although tens of thousands of years have passed and the divine powers have gradually dissipated into the astral void under the vicious curse, there is still one thousandth of the dragon vein power contained in it, and these remaining powers are enough to make you the most terrifying dragon in this main material plane, at least in the continent of Erezegai." Jezaslak stared into Cassius's eyes, as if looking at prey that had fallen into a net, and the low, magnetic words came out of his mouth again.
"How's it going? Cassius."
“This is my greatest sincerity.”
Cassius was still standing there in a daze, his brain working rapidly with a myriad of thoughts in his mind. His body in the material world was already spewing out hot white smoke, and even his light golden pupils were trembling slightly.
But he still suppressed the greed that came from deep in his blood and managed to calm himself down.
The original body of Karix is a treasure that even Tiamat would be attracted to, and it can even be said to be the basis for becoming a god.
Would this "Lord of Revenge" in front of him really give himself to him for free, just because of so-called cooperation?
"All gifts given by fate have their prices secretly marked."
"And behind the devil's gift, there is definitely endless blood and chaos."
"I'm afraid this broken body is not his sincerity, but a feast that the devil has been planning for thousands of years and preparing for himself, and I will only be the most suitable container."
Cassius thought so.
The Red Dragon turned his gaze back to the demon again, looking at the "sincere" expression, there was already a hint of determination in the depths of his eyes.
But he did not reveal it easily. Instead, he used his [Glib Tongue] ability to the fullest, combined with his natural charm that could distort reality, and used superb acting skills to pretend to be trembling with excitement.
Cassius stared at the huge body, like a hungry wild dog, with an extremely greedy expression. "Jezalslak, I recognize your sincerity. As long as I have these powers, I am willing to merge with you."
“How can I carry out the so-called cooperation?”
He asked anxiously, pretending to be impatient.
Jezalslak finally showed a satisfied smile.
"Don't be impatient, my dear collaborator. I prepared the contract 1,300 years ago. You can just give up this clumsy and ridiculous incarnation and come in your real body."
"I have made a great concession, and this is the least you can do, isn't it?"
The turbulence of the abyss flowed from the demon's deep eyes, and the chaotic energy formed crooked words in the void, and finally presented a dark yellow, old contract scroll. The last signature was Jezaslak, but part of his real name was obscured by the fog.
"it is good."
Cassius answered bluntly.
But a dark red message was refreshed on his panel.
[You obtain the advanced career path: [Sorcerer-Evil Master]]
[You will make a pact with a demon from the lower planes. This kind of being desires the corruption or destruction of everything in the world, including you.]
[The demon lord who signs a contract with you will become your overlord and grant you power.]
