Chapter 272 Dragon Cinema

Dragon's Shadow is a desolate ruin hanging over a great abyss through which the cold winds scream forever. The city is located in the Underdark on a huge rock protruding into the void, its walls and buildings looking down on the terrible emptiness.

The city juts out into a vast canyon beneath the earth. It's called the Howling Deep, and it descends more than seventeen miles.

"call--"

With a piercing shriek, hurricane-force winds pounded relentlessly against Dragonshadow, threatening to sweep away any creature that dared to show itself upon the battlements of the abandoned city or attempt to fly across the canyon.

Despite the endless winds, there is no shortage of dangerous creatures in the Howling Abyss. The Becker and Voidbinders revel in the endless winds, while the illusory ghostly dragons and undead dragons often soar above the cities they rule.

This was once a trading city for the drow, but shadow dragons of Clan Jezred conquered the drow city of Chalsen and enslaved its people.

Over the next few centuries, the dragons gradually cleansed the drow population, twisting them into creatures of shadow and replacing them with their own draconic offspring, all the while the city was pulled farther and farther into the Plane of Shadow.

The supreme ruler here is Mortimer Jezred, the terrifying shadow dragon known as the "Mouth of the Night" and the culprit who created this strange city.

In the dark alley, a hooded man said:
"Danyal, have you heard? That old guy is going to attack the world above again."

"Ah."

"According to our intelligence, he found a passage to Anzeta."

"Those shadow dragons, shadow stranglers, and shadow spirits have all been mobilized. It looks like there's going to be some big action."

There are not only the forces of Mortimer in Dragon Shadow City, but also rebels. Under the brutal rule of the Shadow Dragon, even the drow elves, who are known for their evil, have become tragic victims and formed resistance organizations underground.

The most powerful group is the Brotherhood formed by the human Feridon Rais and the drow elf Danyar Belerran, with hundreds of people participating. They even successfully killed a newborn shadow dragon.

Patrolling Shadowshifters walked through the streets, sniffing the air.

The two of them immediately and skillfully cast spells, making their figures disappear from the shadows and arrive at their secret meeting place.

Feridon continued:
"Perhaps we can seize power and assassinate that half-shadow dragon drow archon, that disgusting shadow bastard."

"But when Mortimer comes back, all this will be in vain."

"."

They both fell silent at the same time.

As the leaders of the resistance, no one understood the power of Mortifer better than them.

Thousands of Fadlan troops attacked Dragon Shadow City, but they were all transformed into undead shadows under the cover of black fog and became food for Mortifer. In the endless darkness of the Underdark, the shadow dragon was almost invincible.

The efforts of the rebels were more like a game that Mortimer played to kill time when he was bored. He would even deliberately let the rebels go just to enjoy their deeper despair and the sense of absolute control in the cat-and-mouse game.

Feridon was often very angry about this, but he was powerless to do anything and fell into deep despair.

He didn't even dare to commit suicide, because any living being who died on this land would be forcibly transformed into an undead shadow, and would never have peace for eternity.

"Is it true that no one can defeat him?"

"At least. Try it."

"Perhaps we can contact the kingdom of Anzeta and cooperate with them to kill Mortifer on the earth."

Danyal smiled bitterly, took off his hood and shook his head, revealing the black pointed ears that symbolized the drow elves.

"impossible."

"I have read about the situation on the ground in my family's history. Anzeta is the most desolate and remote place on the continent. In a place like that, how could there be a being that could defeat Mortifer?"

"I'm afraid we can only pray for the gods to come."

Feridon fell silent again.

He had made countless attempts to resist, but each one ended in failure. He even suspected that Mortifer was using him as bait to lure out more rebels.

"Roar--"

Suddenly, a long roar was heard.

What followed was the roar of the shadow dragons, the shrill wails of the undead shadows, and the hustle and bustle in the city.

"what is that?"

"Is there an enemy invading?"

Both Feridun and Danyal were a little surprised.

They quickly put on their robes, carefully opened the door, and came out into the dark and decayed street.

Sure enough, the troops composed of undead shadows, shadow shifters, and shadow stranglers were marching in a hurry, and even the shadow dragons were flying in panic in the air.

Feridon exclaimed:

"What on earth happened? Why did they mobilize so many troops?"

"Feridon
"Hurry, look."

"A dragon, it's a dragon."

Danyal's voice trembled a little.

"what?"

Feridon quickly turned his head and subconsciously looked up at the sky.

The next scene was something he would never forget—a giant red dragon, much larger than Mortimer, spread its wings high in the sky, as if covering the city. Endless gusts of wind blew, but the dragon slowly flapped its strong wings in the hurricane, unaffected at all.

The dragon's body was extremely solid, without any signs of transparency. It was obviously a real dragon, not a transformed shadow dragon.

He has four ferocious horns and an extremely strong body.

There were spider-web-like cracks on his chest, and in the center was a crystal with surging flames.

In front of this strange dragon high in the sky, those evil shadow dragons and shadow displacement beasts were like wild dogs encountering a ferocious beast. They couldn't help but let out shrill howls filled with fear, but the dragon remained motionless.

"Motifer, I'm here to see you."

The dragon showed a ferocious smile, and the depths of its pupils were filled with an irrepressible desire for destruction.

Suddenly, the crystal on his chest emitted an extremely dazzling light.

This brought daylight to Dragon Shadow City, which had been shrouded in shadows all year round, and also brought rare light to the dark area deep underground - at this moment, he was like the sun that had never existed in the underground world, terrifying those shadowy creatures hiding in the dark.

The giant dragon opened its mouth slightly, and endless flames poured out of its mouth, just like Carix descending into the world in an illusion.

It is the breath of chaos and also the fire of purification.

It will burn everything to ashes, leaving only the most complete chaos.
