Chapter 161: Blood Essence of an Ancient Demon
Ding!
“An unknown powerful existence has descended nearby. You are suppressed by its aura and thus received the following debuff: -90% HP, -90% Attack, -90% Defense, -100% Movement Speed…”
Lorne did not know what he had done to encounter such a powerful and terrifying existence every time.
At this moment, the Naga Queen floated from the crystal coffin.
There was a cold killing intent emanating from her, like a storm. Even if it was not directed at Lorne, it made him shiver.
The Naga Queen rose into the air, and her beautiful figure appeared in Lorne’s eyes.
It had to be said that this was definitely one of the most perfect bodies in the world.
However, before Lorne could admire it, the Naga Queen waved her arm, and countless scarlet energies gathered, forming a close-fitting armor.
These armor covered her private body, but they retained the perfect curves of her body.
In addition, there was an exquisite red crystal crown on her head. A huge energy circle gradually condensed behind her, making her look like a deity.
“What is this place?” Domina asked Lorne directly, but she was looking around.
To her, a weak human like Lorne was not worth paying attention to.
In order to survive, Lorne naturally cooperated.
“This is the bottom of the Lake of Death in the Iron Skull City.”
“Lake of Death?”
Hearing this term, Domina could not help but think. Her memory and the current situation were so far apart that she could not recall many things.
After recalling for a long time, she muttered to herself, “It’s the territory of that old turtle. Looks like I recovered because of him.”
After some thought, she finally looked at Lorne, “You’re just a human brat who’s not even at the Earth Realm. How can you be here?”
Lorne was only Level 30, and the “Earth Realm” that the NPC referred to was another name for Class Two.
In the Empire Alliance, only a Class Two Player could barely become a soldier in the army. Lorne clearly could not meet this requirement, and with his strength, it was impossible for him to reach this place.
However, he had come and destroyed the magic circle around the crystal coffin.
“I was entrusted by the Dark Dragon, Lady Doris, to come to this region to find the missing Cold Desolate Dragon City.”
Lorne wanted to say the Dragon of Light, but he remembered that the other party was from the Dark faction and was enemies with the Dragon of Light, so he immediately said that he was from the Dragon of Darkness.
“Dragon of Darkness? Theodore?”
Domina looked at him in surprise.
Lorne immediately shook his head, “No, it’s Lady Doris.”
“Doris?”
Domina pondered. In her mind, the Dragon of Darkness was Theodore, but it seemed that the current Dragon of Darkness had changed to a dragon called Doris.
In that case, Theodore should be dead.
The war back then was too tragic. Almost all the Abyss Rulers had experienced a life and death battle. The odds of Theodore winning against the Dragon of Light were the lowest among them.
Therefore, it was normal for him to die.
“That’s not right. As a traitor of the Human Race, why do you still have such a great light power on you?”
Domina said, “Human brat, you’d better explain yourself!”
Eh?
Lorne was speechless.
After thinking for a while, he said helplessly, “I needed to get close to the Dragon of Light. This city has a special power in the Church of Light. Lady Doris wants me to destroy that power so that she can defeat the Dragon of Light.”
“She even told you this. Looks like she trusts you a lot.”
Domina said, “In that case, I’ll also give you a mission. Go to the Human Empire and find the location of the Naga Race and hand it to me. After completing the mission, I will give you the reward you deserve.”
Ding!
“Congratulations on triggering the hidden mission—[Find the Naga Race]!”
“Mission Description: Find the coordinates of the Naga Race and inform the Naga Queen, Domina.”
“Mission Reward: Unknown.”
“Warning: Once your transaction with the Dark Faction is exposed, you will be despised by all the members of the Light Faction. You will not be able to continue accepting missions from the NPCs of the Light Faction.”
A series of mission notifications appeared.
Lorne could not help but smile bitterly. He did not know why, but it was as if he had a special buff. As long as it was a monster of the Dark faction, they had to rope him in or give him a mission to betray the humans.
But there was no way he would not agree.
After all, he had already achieved a lot in the Light faction.
However, in order to survive, he could only beg for mercy and stabilize the other party first.
In addition, he wanted to see if he could obtain any benefits.
“Queen, can you give me some rewards first? I’m too weak. This way, I won’t be able to obtain the empire’s trust. At that time, I’ll definitely encounter a lot of trouble looking for information.”
Lorne forced himself to ask. As a smart player, he could not miss out on any opportunity to earn money.
Hearing this, Domina gave him a disgusted look.
In her eyes, humans were the most greedy creatures in the world. Although thousands of years had passed, the evil nature that was engraved in their bones had not changed.
However, this was also good. Greedy fellows were always easy to control.
“Take it. This is the blood essence of an ancient demon. After using it, your aptitude will immediately increase.”
With that, a red bottle flew into Lorne’s hand.
————
[Ancient Demon’s Blood Essence]
Grade: Rare
Effect: After using it, you will obtain the bloodline of a Frost Demon. Your attributes will be greatly increased.
————
Lorne knew a little about bloodlines.
Not long ago, the long tongue bat had obtained the blessing of the One-Eyed Giant Snake’s bloodline, thus obtaining part of the dragon bloodline.
This bloodline essence had the same effect as last time. It could greatly increase the user’s aptitude.
————
[Frost Demon Bloodline]
Effect 1: +10% HP, +5% MP, +5% Defense.
Effect 2: Potential+3.
Effect 3: All basic attacks will cause a frost slowing effect. Stackable three times, each reduces 4% speed.
————
The effect of this bloodline was standard. It was not very strong, but it was not weak either.
Another worth mentioning was that bloodlines were different from hidden classes. The two could be used together.
Unfortunately, Lorne did not like this thing. If he only wanted to sell it for money, that would be fine, but he would not use it himself.
He put away the reward and continued to look at Domina, asking tentatively, “Are there any other rewards?”
As soon as he finished speaking…
Suddenly!
A black lightning bolt descended from the sky!
Boom!
The black lightning attacked Lorne, wanting to kill him!
