Chapter 273 Mortifer
A raging sea of ​​fire appeared in front of the Howling Abyss, dyeing the entire horizon orange-red and making the shadow dragons and shadow spirits transparent.

These shadowy creatures howled in pain, twitching in the firelight and making hissing sounds. Mist continued to emanate from their bodies, making them even more illusory.

Under this blazing fire of purification, no shadow can escape.

"Mortifer—"

"If you continue to be a coward, I will destroy everything you have!"

Cassius laughed wildly, flapped his wings violently, and turned into a huge red figure, rapidly flying over the sky above Dragon Shadow City.

Wherever the red dragon passes, there is burning chaos fire everywhere.

As he flapped his wings, a wild, bloody hurricane swept through the city, fueling the fire.

This half of the city seemed to have fallen into doomsday, with burning ancient buildings everywhere and every house filled with miserable wails, curses, and desperate screams.

In addition to humans, drow, and those pure shadow creatures, the main residents of Dragon Shadow City are drow with the blood of shadow dragons.

These elves that wander between shadow creatures and ordinary creatures are also called "shadow elves". These elves have been subject to the rule of shadow dragons for centuries. They are proficient in shadow magic and are loyal subjects under the rule of Mortimer. They often become accomplices of shadow dragons in invading the world above.

"No, I don't want to die—"

"Fire, they are coming!"

"Lord Mortifer, my supreme ancestor, please save us!"

"Damn it! None of them work! No spells work!"

"By Rose, is this a punishment from the gods?"

But under the influence of the Breath of Chaos, the surrounding shadow magic web was in chaos. Even the most basic spell model would be disintegrated in an instant. They could not even cast shadow spells and would be engulfed by the ever-spreading fire of purification.

Looking at the flames that were engulfing everything in the distance, Feridun couldn't help laughing.

“Hahahaha! These Shadow bastards, they should have paid the price long ago!”

"It's better to burn them all to death!"

Feridon was originally a well-known mercenary in the Underdark, but during the expansion of Dragon Shadow City, his lover and children were all transformed into undead shadows. After that, his biggest goal in life became to destroy Dragon Shadow City and kill the shadow dragon.

His heart was filled with deep hatred for Mortimer.

But Danyal looked into the distance with a serious expression, muttering to himself: "This dragon seems to want to destroy everything."

Feridon's smile froze on his face. The experienced warrior asked quickly, "Can't we use magic to leave? Just like usual, you take me directly to the shadow plane."

Danyal shook his head nervously.

"You are not a spellcaster, so you may not be able to feel it. The magic network here has become chaotic, as if it has fallen into a sea of ​​chaos. At least people like me cannot cast any spells."

Feridun turned pale immediately, with cold sweat oozing from his forehead. It was unclear whether it was because of the spreading high temperature or because of extreme worry.

He asked reluctantly, "Can we get in touch with the dragon? The enemy of my enemy is my friend. We are also rebels."

Suddenly, a terrible wave came.

The sky around them suddenly became dark, and Feridun and Danyal quickly looked up.

Feridun's face was filled with fear, and he seemed to recall the night when everyone around him was transformed into undead shadows.

"That is."

"It's Mortifil. Here he comes."

Danyal murmured in a low voice.

Half of the sky was transforming into the Shadowfall Underworld - it was dark, quiet, and filled with monotonous black and white. Twisted and hideous dead branches appeared in Dragon Shadow City, howling shadow spirits appeared in the alleys, and the sky was shrouded in endless shadows, like a pitch-black dome, and in the distance were vague black mountains. Dragon Shadow City was originally on the edge of the material world and the shadow world, and it often fell into the Shadowfall Underworld at night.

Over the past few centuries, the Shadow Dragon has been using his undead shadow to push the city into the shadow plane, and at this moment he has almost exhausted all his strength to allow his true body to descend upon Dragon Shadow City.

Thousands of shadows rose into the sky, forming a huge vortex with a diameter of nearly 100 meters above the city.

With a long roar, a shadow dragon covered with black scales like charcoal and wings made of transparent matter appeared in the vortex.

It was the "Mouthpiece of the Night" Mortipher, the shadowy nightmare that once frightened Cassius, and the supreme ruler of this city.

"Motifer, the rat hiding in the shadows, you finally come out."

"Don't show up in front of me again"

"Your hundreds of years of work will be reduced to ashes."

Cassius looked down at the shadow dragon.

——The once invincible existence now looked like a black vicious bat in front of him, weak and thin.

The Shadow Dragon's extremely dim gray-white eyes seemed to be burning with will-o'-the-wisp fire, filled with resentment, anger - and disbelief.

The young red dragon that had been completely defenseless in front of him had now grown into a monster over thirty meters long. It was already as strong as those invincible ancient red dragons. This terrifying growth rate was unheard of even among those legendary dragon species.

Mortifer let out a hoarse roar: "How is it possible?"

"Only a few short years have passed. How can you gain such power? Even the chosen ones of Her Majesty Tiamat cannot receive such a gift!"

As an unappreciated black dragon whose status was only higher than that of the white dragon, he could not bear the temptation of power and chose to throw himself into the arms of the Shadow Underworld, and was transformed into an immortal shadow dragon.

But even so, it took him hundreds of years to reach his current level.

He couldn't believe it, let alone accept that this red dragon could surpass him in just a few years and treat his hundreds of years of accumulation as nothing.

Cassius grinned and flapped his wings, creating a hurricane that swept across the earth.

"My power doesn't come from that old thing."

"But it's enough to crush a pathetic mouse."

A green flame ignited in Mortifer's gray eyes again. His eyes were filled with jealousy and malice. He let out a gloomy roar:

"You will become the most powerful shadow under my control!"

"And I will use this to prove my strength to Her Majesty the Dragon Queen and become Her new favorite!"

The next moment, the Shadow Dragon flapped its spirit-like transparent wings, stretched its slender neck towards the sky, and let out a piercing scream - the sound was like the painful wails of countless creatures before being transformed into undead shadows, and it was condensed from the fear of death.

The sound seemed to come from the eternal darkness, mixed with the hoarse wails of thousands of undead shadows. It also contained the shadow dragon's infinite hatred for light and life, as well as its endless greed.

A nine-ring spell unique to the Shadow Dragon.

——【Motifer's Shadow of Advent】

The dark dome in the sky was even slowly descending.

The shadowy mountains in the distance gradually approached, like a cage imprisoning the world.

Thousands of shadowy creatures wailed and surged over like a tide, revealing their twisted black mist forms.

And Mortifer transformed himself into a huge shadow, blending his body into the sky, controlling this terrible realm in the darkness.
