Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 566 Black Magic, a Max-Level Dragon Speaker. (5400)

Cao Xing originally wanted to use the system function to check the mage's panel.

However, this guy was shrouded in a thin layer of black mist, which blocked his detection.

At the same time, seeing that everyone was forced back by his magic, the mage's lips curled into a smile.

He casually waved his hand, chuckled, and said, "Go, take down these elves!"

"Yes!"

In an instant, the group of soldiers, clad in armor and moving in unison, launched another attack.

The armored guards advanced in an orderly fashion, with soldiers behind them continuously handing them weapons.

Under their offensive, the elven tribe suffered another series of defeats.

Several elven warriors were almost taken away on the spot.

The mage wielding the black staff spoke again in a sinister tone: "Go easy on them, these elves are all treasures, each one worth at least several million crowns!"

"If one of you dies, I'll hold you all accountable!"

Upon hearing the order, the soldiers immediately ceased their attack, and their movements slowed down considerably.

Even so, due to their numerical superiority, the elves were still forced into a series of defeats!

Chief Auriel, the elven chieftain, continuously waved his dark green staff, conjuring clusters of spirit orbs.

"Boom! Boom boom!"

A series of spiritual energy spheres burst forth, blasting the soldiers away!

The archmage, emanating a dark aura, stared intently at the elven chieftain, Aurel.

"Heh... A seventh-tier elven mage is a rare sight even in the Southern Continent!"

"If we capture it and take it back, whether for research or as a contribution to the king, it will bring me considerable benefits."

"Looks like we're really going to strike it rich this time!"

He raised his staff and then chanted.

"Black earth, boil!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground around them seemed to be polluted by the dark aura, and the black energy began to boil wildly!

As the elven warriors were corrupted by this dark aura, damage numbers appeared above their heads.

However, the kingdom's soldiers seemed to have been blessed by some kind of power, and their strength increased dramatically!

Clearly, this mage seems to possess some kind of powerful force!

Various bizarre spells emerged one after another, causing the elven chieftain to suffer repeated defeats!

It was clear that the warriors of the ancient elf tribe were about to collapse.

Just then, Cao Xing casually waved his hand.

Rows of ice walls rose up in a short time, forming a barrier that separated the elven warriors from the kingdom's soldiers.

at the same time.

Cao Xing activated the set effect on his body again—Winter is Coming!
"Buzz!"

With a burst of terrifying cold air, the surrounding temperature suddenly plummeted!

Both the elves and the soldiers felt a bone-chilling cold, and their movements became increasingly stiff.

Everyone felt a strong sense of threat, as if they were being stared at by a cold, prehistoric behemoth!
They watched the figure holding a staff slowly approaching.

Even the mage in the black robes turned his gaze to Cao Xing and Renis beside him.

After sensing their presence, surprise gradually appeared in his eyes.

"Hmm? A lord from another world actually possesses seventh-tier strength?"

Seemingly realizing that Cao Xing was not someone to be trifled with, he did not make a move immediately.

Instead, he said, "I am Alec, the chief magician of the royal elite regiment of the Kingdom of Ostia."

"Who is your Excellency?"

Cao Xing did not answer.

Because he had already determined that this guy was also someone who had studied dark magic!

A slight smile curved at the corners of his lips.

Cao Xing said calmly, "I am friends with the chief of this elven tribe. You may all leave."

At the same time, he casually put his hand to his ear.

The monk asked, "Sir, what do you mean by this?"

Cao Xing casually said, "Literally, all the elves in this tribe are my people, so get lost!"

Upon hearing this, the great mage was not angry; instead, a look of realization appeared on his face.

"I see, so you're here to catch these elves too."

He chuckled and said, "Your Excellency, the value of this batch of ancient elves is astonishing."

"But these elves are also of great research significance to our Kingdom of Ostia."

"If you are willing to part with them and give them up, I will report to His Majesty the King and reward you handsomely."

"Whether you want crowns or powerful equipment, the choice is yours."

"Or, you can name your price, how much money would it take to give us these ancient elves?"

Upon hearing the terms offered in the conversation, Cao Xing remained unmoved and instead glared at him with hostility.

"Don't you understand?"

"I told you to get out of here."

"I'll give you three seconds. If anyone else is still standing in front of me, then stay here too!"

Meanwhile, the dragon speakers in the air had received orders to be ready to act at any time.

In fact, Cao Xing had no intention of letting these soldiers go back alive.

The reason for saying this is, of course, that they don't want to fight here and expose the location of the elven tribe.

Faced with Cao Xing's threat, the soldiers' faces showed strange expressions, and then they looked at the chief mage.

After all, before this, other lords from other worlds would generally avoid these regular armies and would not dare to provoke them.

Unlike Cao Xing, who actually dared to reprimand and threaten a chief mage!

Even the chief mage looked at him with hostility.

However, the mage also sensed the powerful aura emanating from Cao Xing, along with the archer next to him who also possessed seventh-tier combat power.

If a real fight breaks out, they are definitely no match for them.

After struggling for a moment, the black-robed mage seemed to have made a decision, and he quickly said, "Let's retreat!"

Upon hearing the order, the soldiers, though somewhat unwilling, obediently put away their weapons and prepared to withdraw.

And at this moment——

A dark aura appeared silently behind Cao Xing.

In that instant, Cao Xing felt an extremely cold force coming from behind him, as if something was trying to burrow into his body!
Renis sensed the change behind her and quickly turned around.

Then they saw a black creature with indistinct outlines rushing towards Cao Xing!

She quickly warned, "My lord, be careful!"

Before Renis could even give him a warning, Cao Xing's wings flapped, carrying him into the air!

The dark figure also missed its target.

At the same time, the chief mage stopped in his tracks.

"Oh? You actually managed to evade my evil possession?"

"You little rascal, you do have some skill."

At this moment, Cao Xingfei was in mid-air, also with a smile on his face.

Clearly, he had been preparing for this guy's sudden attack for a long time.

"You attacked me first, so you must have considered the consequences, right?"

Upon hearing this, the chief mage's eyes flashed with disdain.

He was about to speak when he suddenly felt an extremely deadly aura coming from above his head, causing his expression to change drastically in an instant!
Before he could react, a terrifying sword aura cleaved out from the sky above his head!
"Shh!"

The moment the sword energy fell, accompanied by a dragon's roar, a crack was instantly cleaved through the forest one or two kilometers ahead!
The soldiers below had no time to dodge and were instantly killed by this sword!

Even this so-called chief mage was sent flying hundreds of meters away by this sword!
Two large damage numbers appeared above his head.

Then, a colossal figure descended from above, carrying an aura of destruction.

A giant, deep blue dragon fixed its enormous, bell-like eyes on the soldiers of the Kingdom of Ostia.

On its back, the Dragon Speaker stared coldly at the mage!
At this moment, not only the soldiers, but also the elves in the entire tribe were stunned!
After all, the aura emanating from this duo was simply too terrifying!

The chief mage collapsed to the ground, stammering in a daze, "G-G-G-G-Dragon..."

"There's also a tenth-tier expert. How can there be such a powerful force in this forest?"

"Damn it! Who are you people?"

Cao Xing was too lazy to answer his question and casually said, "Alright, let's wipe them out."

Upon hearing the command, the Dragon Speaker and Renis attacked simultaneously.

"Shh!"

"call out!"

Terrifying sword energy and a dense barrage of arrows came crashing down!

The chief mage did not sit idly by and wait for his death. He sprang to his feet in a flash.

Then he looked at the other soldiers and said, "I order you to stop them at all costs!"

The soldiers below immediately began to complain bitterly.

Damn it, how am I supposed to block that?

The opponent could kill me with a single sword strike!

But this mage was their superior, and they couldn't disobey orders, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and charge forward!
Seeing the group of soldiers rushing towards them like moths to a flame, the Dragon Speaker and Renis showed no mercy.

Arrows and sword energy poured out, instantly killing a large number of soldiers!

The chief mage panicked and tried to escape.

At this moment, Cao Xing once again entered the [Ice Spirit Soul] state, and all his minor skills became free of cooldown.

"Wow~!"

One after another, ice walls completely blocked his way!
The chief mage continuously gathered dark magic to shatter and corrode the ice wall.

However, no matter how much he wreaked havoc, Cao Xing would summon more ice walls to stop him!
An expression of disbelief had appeared in the other person's eyes!

"Damn it! What kind of trick is this?"

"Don't your spells have cooldowns?" Cao Xing still didn't want to waste words with him and continued to cast Ice Wall to trap him.

And from time to time, they would intersperse powerful spells such as 'Ice Tornado Storm' and 'Extreme Ice Bloom', keeping the opponent busy and flustered!

The only thing to do is to keep casting dark magic spells to deal with these skills.

Then, despite the fact that the opponent possessed dangerous black magic, had powerful attacks, and had a wide variety of methods, they were still able to overcome the challenge.

But Cao Xing was no pushover either.

With a powerful buff, you can completely overwhelm a commander-level mage of the same rank!
at the same time.

The Dragon Speaker and Renis had already wiped out the thousands of soldiers in no time.

If it weren't for the fact that this place is close to the elven tribe, the Dragon Speaker could have wiped them all out with a single powerful skill!
But even using ordinary attacks, it didn't take long to kill these thousand soldiers.

Then, they joined together in the battle against this seventh-tier mage.

The outcome of the ensuing battle was, of course, a foregone conclusion.

Under the attack of three powerful figures and a giant dragon, the chief mage was frozen into a block of ice.

Cao Xing and the others continued to attack, and their health plummeted.

Then, the Dragon Speaker finished him off with a single sword strike.

A system prompt appears.

[Your territory member: Dragon Speaker Ice Orchid has killed Ostia Kingdom Mage: Alec Ford lv68 (Tier 7 Commander-level creature), gaining 523600 experience points.]

[Dragon Speaker Ice Orchid's level has been increased to level 100!]

[This upgrade grants attribute boosts...]

...

...

[Attention! You have killed an important member. Your relationship with the Kingdom of Ostia has dropped to: Hostile (Hidden)]

...

A smile appeared on Cao Xing's face. "Very good, Binglan has successfully reached the maximum level!"

"If we could obtain a sword-type relic next, that would be great. It would allow her to try to break through to the legendary level."

As for the last piece of information about the decrease in favorability, he naturally ignored it.

In his mind, Victoria belonged to his territory, and the Kingdom of Ostia would certainly not let her go once they learned that this Nen Queen was still alive.

When that time comes, they will definitely send people to deal with her, and then a conflict will break out between her and Cao Xing.

In other words, the Kingdom of Ostia itself belonged to an opposing force.

Shaking his head, Cao Xing stopped thinking about it.

"Renes, go and pick up all my things."

"Yes."

After saying that, Renis began to clean up the battlefield.

The battle ended swiftly and decisively after the appearance of the Dragon Speaker and Serafis.

It was only then that the elves realized what was happening.

Chief Auriel, the elven chieftain, exclaimed in astonishment, "It's unbelievable that this woman can not only control dragons, but also possess such immense power!"

"They could even become the rulers of this forest!"

Cao Xing said, "She is my subordinate, Binglan."

The elven chieftain was once again amazed.

"To have such a powerful being serve you, you are truly a remarkable lord!"

"You saved our Elven race, please allow me to express my sincere gratitude to you!"

After saying this, the elven mage pressed his right hand to his chest and then bowed solemnly to Cao Xing.

The other elves also bowed in respect.

A system notification appeared.

[Thanks to your assistance, the Ancient Elf Tribe's favorability towards you has increased. Current favorability: Friendly.]

...

At this moment, these ancient elves no longer felt any distance from Cao Xing.

Of course, this doesn't mean that these elves are naive and easily grateful to someone who saves them once.

They had considered the possibility that this otherworldly lord was orchestrating a charade with the soldiers to gain the elves' trust.

But what they had just experienced had dispelled all their doubts.

After all, no matter how much they acted, they couldn't possibly sacrifice the lives of more than a thousand soldiers and a seventh-level mage!
Cao Xing said, "Then, Chief Auriel, I think you've seen it too."

“Your tribe’s location has now been exposed, and this place is no longer safe.”

"In my territory, there is more than one powerful being like Binglan, as well as the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, the Ancient Tree of Wind, and so on."

"If you're willing to join, at least you won't have to worry about safety anymore."

Chief Auriel's face also showed a hint of excitement.

In fact, the moment Binglan and her dragon appeared, he already had the idea of ​​joining Cao Xing's side.

After all, such a powerful being could definitely protect their elven race.

Cao Xing pressed on, saying, "In the days to come, you don't need to worry that your people will be unable to adapt to a new territory or integrate into the community."

"My territory is home to many races, including not only humans, but also polar people, tree spirits, dream spirits, and so on."

"Everyone lives in harmony on the same land, and everyone contributes their own strength to the territory."

Chief Auriel seemed to have been persuaded by Cao Xing as well, and replied:
"Lord Cao Xing, your territory is indeed enviable, and I would be happy to join you."

"But before that, please allow me and my people to do some work."

"it is good."

Cao Xing nodded slightly; he wasn't in a hurry.

Then, the elven chieftain turned around and summoned all the elves who were still able to move to begin a meeting.

At this moment, Renis picked up the things that had just fallen and said respectfully.

"My lord, please take a look."

Cao Xing smiled and accepted it.

[Obtained: Alec Ford's Commander-level Soul (Tier 7)]

[Obtained: Twisted Staff (Orange)]

[Obtained: Evil Crystal *1]

[Obtained: 14 Tier 4 & 5 Elite Souls]

[Obtained: Expert-grade Heart of Power *6]

【get……】

...

Besides the commander-level soul that dropped from the archmage, an epic-quality staff also dropped.

As for what the other soldiers dropped, it was nothing special.

Cao Xing first glanced at the attributes of the epic staff.

【Twisted Wooden Staff (Orange)】

[Quality: Epic]

[Equipment Level: 60]

[Attack power: 4189~4297]

[Additional Effect ①: Spirit +1000, Constitution +600, Casting Speed ​​+20%]

【Additional Effect ②: Malice Amplification (When casting magic, there is a 30% chance to increase the attack power of this spell by 50%, but will increase the cooldown time by 30%)】

[Additional Effect ③: Twisted Spirit (Increases the effects of all curse magic by 30%)]

(Equipment Description: This staff seals away an evil soul. When casting spells, the wails of vengeful spirits can be faintly heard...)
...

"Oh? A staff that enhances curse power?"

"This staff is quite suitable for Fanaz."

After all, in his territory, only this priestess possessed the power of curses.

He nodded in satisfaction and put the staff into his backpack.

Then, Cao Xing checked out something else new.

[Evil Crystallization]

[Quality: unknown]

[Item Effect: A certain evil alchemical material containing the evil power of a dark mage. If its dark magical power is accidentally released, it will pollute a large area of ​​land, making it unable to recover for the next few hundred years.]

(Note: Those who come into contact with black magic will gain powerful magic, but they will also sacrifice their bodies and spirits. Every time black magic is released, a portion of their life force will be absorbed and condensed into this crystal.)

When dark magic goes out of control, it will devour its own life and cause severe damage to the surrounding environment.
……

"It's actually a crystal from that mage's body?"

"So it seems that what Victoria said was true."

"King Ostia knew that the wizard possessed dark magic, but he did not stop him and even allowed him to use it."

"Based on our deductions, there must be quite a few beings in this kingdom who possess black magic."

"This thing... is really dangerous. Prolonged use will cause constant backlash from black magic."

"If it all erupts, it will be a disaster!"

Cao Xing frowned slightly, then shook his head.

"Forget it, it's none of my business. If this kingdom really allows black magic to run rampant and endanger the continent, other powerful figures will step in."

"What I need to do now is to deal with the threat of the Blood Legion with all my might!"

With that thought in mind, Cao Xing stopped caring about the Ostia Kingdom's misuse of dark magic.

I put the [Evil Crystal] into my backpack.

"Now, it's time to digest that commander-level soul."

He already had someone in mind who would use this soul.

His gaze fell upon the two figures on the dragon's back.

...

...
