Eternal Night.

Chapter 932 Combat Power Five
Red Dragon...

This is the terrifying behemoth in the minds of the robed men. It is the most ferocious of the five-colored evil dragons, comparable to the golden dragon among the metal benevolent dragons. Once it reaches adulthood, it will inevitably become a legendary creature. It is a terrifying behemoth capable of destroying an army, a city, or even a country!
And this red dragon in front of us is an incredibly powerful ancient dragon monk!

It's both an ancient red dragon and a monk, and an ancient dragon monk who can use monk talents, skills, and attack dice!
The world that the man in the long robe and his companions arrived in is a semi-digital world, where the extraordinary beings are called professionals. Furthermore, the strength of all beings in this world is determined by three core data: the life dice, the profession dice, and the item dice they carry.

The Life Dice determines a creature's basic and innate attributes, such as the upper and lower limits of a creature's physique, intelligence, and potential. Every creature will naturally increase its life level from childhood to adulthood. However, most creatures are limited by their potential and lifespan, and their life level cannot be raised too high. But some creatures can raise their life level to level 20 or above, thereby awakening many racial talents, personal talents, etc., and these creatures are collectively called legendary creatures.

However, ordinary mortals are not incapable of competing with legendary beings. They rely on their professional level, which is to become extraordinary beings. This is no different from the extraordinary beings that Wu Pifu knows. They obtain extraordinary paths, cultivate extraordinary paths, and thereby improve their strength, evolve their life level, and thus be able to compete with legendary beings.

As for the equipment, there's not much to say; it's no different from the outside world, except that it's mostly presented in a semi-digital form.

The reason why the robed men felt despair when facing the ancient dragon monk was because such a combination of life and profession was impossible in their worldview. It was a state similar to a logical paradox. Some professions could only be held by certain weak life forms or specific races, while some professions stipulated specific behaviors for their holders. In the words of this world, it was a faction requirement restriction. The six-armed serpent demon swordsman and the ancient dragon monk completely violated this basic setting, resulting in them becoming a bug, an existence that defied the heavens.

Compared to the six-armed serpent demon swordsman... the ancient dragon monk is extremely overpowered. In its worldview, it is a being that can kill gods under certain circumstances without being a god.

Now, the very bug they used to joke about appeared before them. They couldn't sense any class level; no matter how they looked at it, it was just an ordinary human. Although he had just killed the Six-Armed Serpent Demon Sword Saint, this ordinary mortal was facing the Ancient Dragon Monk. Despair filled everyone's faces.

then……

A knife.

There was no skill, no dodging, nothing that could be called a special move; it was just a simple, unadorned clash of swords with the ancient dragon monk's palm. Then, the enormous red dragon, the size of a building, was torn to pieces.

It was resolved so easily, simply, and without any controversy, without any intermediate steps.

Wu Pifu simply shook his arm in dissatisfaction after making that one slash.

The recoil from the title "Kraith" made his arms sore, and he almost tore his muscles and dislocated his joints.

His control over his physical body was too poor. It was just an ordinary giant beast that wasn't even a sublimated body, yet it almost injured him. This made Wu Pifu very dissatisfied.

That's right. When facing the attack of the Ancient Dragon Monk, Wu Pifu didn't display any attack skills. He simply used the Kratos title and used the tenfold slashing QTE effect to kill him easily.

Then, Wu Pifu picked up a piece of sinewy dragon meat from the ground and turned to Qing, saying, "Hey, can I borrow a light?"

Qing, dumbfounded, said, "Huh?"

Wu Pifu turned to A1 with dissatisfaction and said, "Hey, can I borrow a light?"

"Huh?" A1 was also stunned.

On the contrary, the man in the long robe reacted quickly, running over immediately. He seemed to have used magic, with a gust of wind beneath his feet and a ball of flame emerging from his staff. At the same time, he said with a flattering expression, "Come, my lord, fire."

Soon, apart from the dragon meat that Wu Pifu was holding while injured, all the other corpses on the ground and the blood, flesh and internal organs of the broken red dragon turned into specks of light. Wu Pifu placed the dragon meat on a fireball to roast while looking around thoughtfully.

This scene was immediately recorded by A1 and the others, along with Wu Pifu's battle scene. A1 said to A4 through the encrypted channel: "It seems that the flesh and blood that are held in hand or obtained will not be erased by this strange place. Remember to collect enough samples later."

A4 nodded to indicate that he understood, and then A1 immediately came to Wu Pifu's side and said, "Mr. Wu, please move forward as soon as possible and do not delay any longer."

Wu Pifu glanced at A1 and said, "Oh, you're teaching me how to do things?"

A1 immediately stiffened. Just those words filled his senses with an inexplicable pressure, making him tremble slightly. He quickly took a few steps back and said, "No, how could I dare... It's just that the higher-ups require the experiment to be carried out as soon as possible, so..."

Wu Pifu sneered and remained silent, simply roasting the dragon meat.

Before he gained control of his physical body, all his power was hidden. However, after he gained control of his physical body, as his control level increased, all his other extraordinary abilities, except for physical strength, gradually recovered. This included his super brain ability. At this moment, he sensed some emotional fragments of these five so-called logistics personnel through his super brain.

They... harbored malice towards him and Qing, and not just personal malice, but malice stemming from certain missions they had undertaken. This gave them a certain sense of detachment, a feeling of innocence. But malice is malice, and its intensity... was second only to directly killing him and Qing. Wu Pifu understood this mentality perfectly: killing in the name of righteousness. If someone sacrificed themselves for a greater good, they would be admirable. But killing others, especially innocent people, in the name of an organization or a collective good, disgusted Wu Pifu. For example... the Nazis, as far as Wu Pifu knew, did just that.

For these five multidimensional government soldiers, it was their duty to make Wu Pifu and Qing experimental guinea pigs, or to die under certain circumstances. They did it openly and without guilt. But why should Wu Pifu die for their duty?

He didn't slap them to death on the spot, only because they didn't lay a hand on him. Did he expect him to give him a friendly look in this situation?
Qing also noticed something was wrong, and he immediately leaned closer to Wu Pifu and said, "Dude, what's going on? Didn't you eat plenty of breakfast before? Why are you hungry so soon?"

Wu Pifu shook his head slightly without explaining. He simply kept kneading the dragon meat with his fingers, crushing its fibers and distributing the heat evenly throughout the meat. Once a layer was formed on the surface, he tore off a layer and started eating. In a short while, he had eaten about a third of the dragon meat.

Eating meat and feeling hungry—this wasn't actually Wu Pifu causing trouble.

This physical body of his was not his original body, which he had refined through countless trials. Although he was gradually recovering through extraordinary means, he was skilled in the physical realm, and this body needed improvement. At this moment, he had fully taken control of his digestive system. Every time he ate a piece of dragon meat, he absorbed nutrients at the fastest speed and diffused the nutrients into his internal organs. He first strengthened his internal organs and improved his blood and qi before spreading them throughout his body.

All of this is not just about stalling for time.

No one around dared to urge him on. Wu Pifu stood in the center of the open space. Although the fog had opened up a new passage and was slowly approaching from behind, it stopped when it was ten meters away from them.

Everyone seemed thoughtful, and the man in the long robe said directly, "It seems this is one of the rules of this place. Although there is urging, you will also be given time to heal and rest... Sir, may I ask what place this is?"

Wu Pifu was already grilling the dragon tendons. As he grilled them, he said, "I'm not really sure either. This place is what we call a strange and mysterious place. It appeared suddenly. We're a team that came here to explore. What about you?"

Faced with Wu Pifu's question, the man in the long robe did not hesitate for a moment and immediately said, "We are adventurers from the continent of Faerûn. We accepted a commission from the Church of War and were to travel through the City of Sigil to the first level of the Barto Purgatory... But when we entered the Barto Purgatory first level portal in the City of Sigil, we suddenly arrived here."

"The continent of Faerûn..."

Wu Pifu felt this location looked familiar. After thinking for a few seconds, he tentatively asked, "Dungeons & Dragons?"

The man in the long robe paused for a moment, at which point a swordsman approached respectfully and said, "There are indeed many dragons and dungeons on the continent of Faerûn. Which dragon are you asking about, sir? And which dungeon?"

Wu Pifu had already figured out the answer from their emotions.

It really is the Forgotten Realms from the Dungeons & Dragons rules... Is this strange land, or rather, the source of pollution, really that extraordinary?
Or is it that the rules of Dungeons & Dragons are also a lost dream world civilization?

At this moment, A1 couldn't help but say again, "Mr. Wu, now that we've finished eating, why don't we move on?"

Wu Pifu sneered and looked towards the misty passage. The man in the long robe and the others bowed slightly to Wu Pifu and then stepped back, waiting for Wu Pifu's next move.

At this moment, the man in the long robe slightly shook his staff, casting a spell. His companion beside him said impatiently, "Are these people idiots? Facing a super strong expert of this level, they don't even have the most basic respect?"

The man in the long robe shook his head slightly and said, "Don't bother with them. These kinds of people die quickly. No matter if they rely on their status, the powerful figures behind them, or some group they belong to, they should at least respect power. If they can't even do that, they're already dead. Even if their superiors need them to complete a mission, they'll deal with them after the mission is accomplished. Don't bother with them. We should stick close to this lord. He hasn't forbidden us from following him. This is our way of survival!"

At this moment, a short man with a five-headed body said, "My job level has increased by three levels... Although this place is dangerous, it is a treasure trove. My current job level is already level twelve. When I reach level fifteen, I can change from a rogue to a shadow thief. If this sir kills a few more similar beings, I might even be able to hope to become a legend."

Eleven of the group, including the man in the long robe, survived. Their faces were filled with anticipation and joy. Clearly, the physical and mental enhancement provided by this space after killing the six-armed snake demon and the ancient dragon monk was extremely valuable to them. Even the man in the long robe looked pleased with himself.

At this moment, Wu Pifu stepped into the misty passage, and Qing hurriedly followed behind. The five logistics personnel originally intended to follow, but unexpectedly, the man in the long robe and his group immediately squeezed in and unceremoniously pushed them to the back. This made A1 and the others look displeased, but they had no choice but to accept it.

Wu Pifu ignored it and kept going. After passing through a foggy passage, the view suddenly opened up again, and what appeared before them was...

A man with straight, black hair like steel needles, wearing a single-rimmed high-tech glasses, had a tail attached to his back, and hundreds of corpses of various types lay around him.

As Wu Pifu and his group entered the space, the man immediately looked at them.

"Combat power 321, 183, 191, oh, this one's not bad, 428, and this one at the very front... combat power 5? Ha..."
