Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 438 The Secret of Platinum Has Been Discovered? The Ritual Begins
Iverai was both curious and puzzled as to how the Dragon King could increase his power.

Is it related to the repair of the capital's city walls?
That's not all; she also vaguely sensed a magical reaction within the repaired city walls.

"Your Majesty, there is something I don't know if you are aware of?" Iverai hesitated slightly, his voice revealing a seriousness and solemnity.

"What is it?" Tang Zheng asked.

"Is such that."

"Not long ago, in the Great Forest of Tob..." Iverai gave a detailed report on the incident involving the Demon Tree that had occurred some time ago.

She had even tried to contact the Dragon King, but she couldn't get through, leaving her with many unanswered questions.

Iverai was not referring to the magic tree itself, but to something else entirely.

After leaving "Ye Lantier", [Blue Rose], who remained skeptical about the handling of the Demon Tree issue, secretly followed them.

only.

The group of 【Blue Rose】 was too slow. By the time they arrived at the scene, the battle was already over, leaving only some shockingly damaged craters and blood-stained ground.

These traces all indicate that a fierce battle took place.

Lajus and the others also confirmed that the Demon Tree had been destroyed, believing that the battle was caused by the Dark Scripture and the Demon Tree.

--but!

Iveria didn't think so, because she observed from afar the magical barrier that covered several kilometers.

That's not ordinary magic, it's primordial magic!

As a witness to the destruction of the [Abyss Body], Iveriai had seen the same primordial magic with his own eyes.

That is to say!

The battle that took place deep in the Tob Forest involved the True Dragon King!
“Your Majesty the Dragon King… I suspect that the Platinum Dragon King of the Council Kingdom has clashed with the secret forces of the Slane Theocracy.”

Iverie revealed the astonishing discovery she had kept hidden in her heart. This matter was far-reaching, and she did not tell Lajus and the others about it.

I didn't have a clear concept of the "True Dragon King" before, but after witnessing the power displayed by the Dark Dragon King in that fleeting glimpse, I realized that...

Iver Aicai deeply understood the indescribable terror and power represented by the words "True Dragon King".

"Oh, did that happen?"

Tang Zheng's tone was filled with surprise, as if he had just learned of this.

Lajus and the others were secretly following the theocratic side, and he didn't really pay much attention to them, since his focus was mainly on the platinum armor at the time.

"Ha, this is really interesting."

Tang Zheng felt a sense of absurdity, as if the Platinum Dragon King had meticulously concealed his true nature only to have it unexpectedly discovered by someone else.
"It turns out that Iverai was the first to discover this secret."

To know,
Even the Theocracy has only tentatively deduced that the Platinum Armored One is Silver, one of the former Thirteen Heroes, and may have been hiding in the Council of Nations all along.

They didn't have the slightest doubt about the Platinum Dragon King.

Currently, besides Tang Zheng...

Iveria is probably the first person to know that the Platinum Armor is related to the Platinum Dragon King, no... she doesn't know about the existence of the Platinum Armor yet.

but.

If Iveria obtains information about the Platinum Armor from the Theocracy, it's easy to deduce that the Platinum Armor is directly related to the Platinum Dragon King.

"This might be an intelligence strategy worth utilizing."

Tang Zheng's eyes flickered slightly. He felt that this intelligence was poor and there was something worth planning. Suppressing his thoughts, he asked in a dignified voice:
"What actions have the Council of States and the Slane Church taken?"

"From my observation, there is no such thing." Iver Ai shook his head in confusion.

For the past two weeks, she had been secretly monitoring both countries. After all, such a fierce battle had taken place, and things shouldn't be so calm.

"In that case, let's leave it at that for now."

Tang Zheng said slowly in a profound tone, "Just pretend you don't know."

"Understood, Your Majesty!"

Iverai nodded respectfully.

"Then—let the magical ritual to enhance your strength begin!"

Tang Zheng fully spread his dragon wings and stretched his massive dragon body. This simple movement instantly generated a gust of wind that swept outwards. His sharp dragon claws pointed upwards, and a magic scroll appeared in his palm.
"The 7th tier magic—Undying Army!"

The scroll was crushed.

boom!
In an instant, dense negative energy was released from the magic scroll, transforming into a black torrent that fell to the ground.

The dark brown soil underground surged up!

Rotten, mutilated claws emerged from beneath the soil, followed by a dense mass of low-level undead crawling out of the ground.

In the blink of an eye, thousands appeared!

"hiss!"

"Ah hoo!"

"Woo..."

A large number of undead gathered together, emitting strange hissing sounds.

"The Undying Army" can summon around a thousand low-level undead in one go. The first time it appeared was when the leader of the [Zhilanong] alliance activated it through a ritual.

At the time, Tang Zheng didn't pay much attention to this magic. After all, it didn't matter how many low-level undead there were; ordinary soldiers could kill a few if they were careful.

In addition, at that time...

Tang Zheng had not yet developed a new ritual for gaining experience using the "Spiral of Death Ritual," so he was even less concerned.

They only regretted it after developing a new ritual!
The undead summoned by "Undying Army" are neutral monsters, just like those summoned by "Final War (Good)".

Only "neutral monsters" can gain experience through rituals.

"The seventh-tier magic..."

Iver's crimson pupils dilated, an expression of disbelief appearing on his face, his pale lips parting uncontrollably.
"reel!"

Seventh-rank magic belongs to the realm of demon gods. Although powerful, Iveria believes she already has some knowledge of it.

In my interactions with the [Abyssal Body], I have witnessed higher-level magic, and even the Dragon King possesses greater magical power.

But scrolls are a different matter!

It should be noted that among all human nations, the highest-ranking scroll is only of the third rank.

The 7th-tier scroll before us is of unimaginable value!
only……

Iverai was a little confused about what the Dragon King was going to do, but the next moment, her body began to tremble uncontrollably and her expression became blank.

"Seventh-tier magic - Undying Army!"

"Seventh-tier magic - Undying Army!"

"........."

"Seventh-tier magic - Undying Army!"

Tang Zheng crushed scroll after scroll, and astonishing negative energy condensed together in the air, almost materializing, like a tide.

The air in the entire ruined capital seemed to have been affected by negative energy, and it had become dim.

Countless low-level undead emerged from the soil, spreading outwards like a horde of corpses!
this moment.

Iver finally understood why the Dragon King had repaired the walls of the Royal Road – it was to prevent these low-level undead from surging out.

One scroll after another!
Tang Zheng was too lazy to calculate it, because he knew the total number of scrolls.

nowadays.

He can make a maximum of three level 10 blank scrolls per day!
Twenty sheets of paper of the same rank can be used to make one scroll. A rank ten scroll requires 350 magic points.

With Tang Zheng's normal magic power, he can make two copies. With the special technique of "rapid magic power recovery", he can make an extra copy.

Before the end of the [Body of the Abyss] event on June 25th, he possessed a total of 194 Tier 6 blank scrolls.

Because from this period of time until now.

Tang Zheng then began to design the "Iver's Strength Enhancement Plan," producing only one tenth-tier scroll each day, and using the rest to create seventh-tier scrolls.

and so.

He currently has 262 "Tenth-Level Blank Scrolls".

"Tier 7 Papermaking" can produce 30 sheets of Tier 7 paper.

To create a complete seventh-tier scroll, one not only needs to activate the "Papermaking" spell, but also needs to infuse it with magic. In this process, there is an additional 15 points of magic power consumed.

You can create 18 level 7 scrolls per day!
actual.

In theory, Tang Zheng could create more scrolls, for example, by using experience to cast spells, first leveling up one level, then lowering the level after casting the spell, and using experience points to create them.

That's only in theory.

For Tang Zheng at present, the disadvantages of doing so outweigh the advantages.

He now needs tens of millions of experience points to level up, and if he is demoted, his experience bar will be reset to zero.

To know.

Tang Zheng can gain 150 million experience points every day. If he repeats this operation every day, his 150 million experience points will be wasted during the downgrade process.

There is no other way to gain a large amount of experience in one go. If you do that, you'll be stuck at level 70 forever!
but.

Once you reach level 95 or higher, you can intentionally reserve a few levels as space for experience points to cast spells, and use that to do this.

boom! boom!
The increasingly intense negative energy, during the release of the scroll, formed a nearly tangible black pillar of light that landed on the ground.

Tang Zheng currently possesses a total of 1224 "7th Rank - Undying Army" cards, each capable of summoning 1000 low-ranking undead.

Under near-numb operation.

Anyway, instead of crushing them one by one, several are crushed together.

Looking down from the air, the entire capital was filled with low-level undead, so numerous that their numbers were impossible to count.

The gathering of numerous immortals created negative energy that stained the area black, turning it into a unique negative energy field.

If an ordinary person were to appear here...

They would probably be killed by the overflowing negative energy before they even got close.

“…” Iver was silent.

The scene before her eyes shocked her so much that she lost the ability to speak; her pale lips parted and could not be closed.

If it weren't for her status as an immortal, which allowed her to suppress her emotions, she felt she would have fainted by now.

every time!
The shock the Dragon King gave her was a mockery of her knowledge accumulated over hundreds of years, allowing her to see a completely new world.

god?
Iverai believed that only a god could do what the Dragon King was doing.

Even an unconscious, pleading prayer arose within me: please stop releasing the scroll.

The 7th-tier scroll is a national treasure!
"No...ah, too..."

Iverai made strange sounds from her throat; every time the Dragon King crushed a scroll, it was as if she herself was bleeding.

For a moment, even an immortal like her felt a pang of heartache.

Tens of thousands of immortals?
Do not!
There are already over 20. The entire capital is filled with the undead, and they've even formed a pyramid-like structure.

"Let's stop here for now."

Tang Zheng's calm voice rang out, and he stopped activating the scroll.

I used about 300 cards in one go, and the number of undead below has now exceeded 300,000. If I threw them into the Northwest Continent, they could sweep across all the human nations.

"Ahoo—hiss!"

"Ah!"

The roars of the dense undead below blended together, like the buzzing of bees amplified thousands of times, creating a near-tangible noise impact.

"it is finally over."

Iver's eyes trembled, as if emerging from the depths of a lake, as if she could finally catch her breath; her voice trembled.
"Your Majesty the Dragon King..."

"Fly to the center of the capital." Tang Zheng did not explain.

"Ah, yes."

Iver's mind went blank as he flew towards the crowded undead below.

As fellow immortals, Iveriai naturally did not suffer attacks from the many who were destined to die.

It landed at the designated location.

Tang Zheng nodded slightly, his dragon-shaped vertical pupils narrowing, revealing a more serious expression.

Is it wasteful or not worthwhile to spend time and so many scrolls on Iveria?

He doesn't think so.

In this other world, only three types of people can break through the level cap.

Dragons, gods, immortals!
Leaving aside the first two types, the number of naturally born undead is extremely small, and most members of the [Abyss Body] belong to this type.

These immortal beings have no sense of belonging to humans, or rather, to any living being. If Ainz Ooal Gown appears, the probability of them siding with him is nearly 100%.

But Ivera is different!

They are immortals born later in life, and they still have a strong sense of identity with their human identity.

"The ceremony begins."

Tang Zheng's eyes widened as he manipulated a massive magical ritual that he had specially arranged in this ruined capital city.

hum! !

Each stone pillar in the city wall served as the outer perimeter of the ceremony, and a massive magical ritual enveloping the entire capital emerged on the ground.

A deep blue magical light appeared, illuminating the area that was almost shrouded in darkness!

Constructing such a massive ceremony was a painful expense for Tang Zheng; if he didn't control the resources of the entire hilly area, he probably wouldn't have been able to set it up.

"The 7th Tier - The Undying Army!"

Tang Zheng, you immediately felt a pressure, opened your mouth and let out a majestic low shout:
"—The spell is off!"

Wow~
Wow~
In an instant, all 30+ immortals were transformed into pure negative energy and began to dissipate.

Boom!
The air shook.

The blue light on the magic circle suddenly became even more dazzling, and all the negative energy converged into Iver's body at the very center!

"Ninjutsu: Detection!"

The aura emanating from the other party began to increase!
"Success!"

Tang Zheng's eyes lit up: "Sure enough, this kind of ritual can also be used on people from other worlds."

While pondering!
Tang Zheng raised his dragon arm and extended it towards the dense negative energy gathering below, only briefly touching it before withdrawing his arm.

“Unfortunately, the living cannot accept negative energy.” Tang Zheng shook his head slightly, then looked at Iver Ai expectantly.
