Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 67: Rereading Combat Techniques to Resolve Thousands of Troubles

There was indeed a mine there, and indeed a group of bandits were hiding there. When Wu Chen arrived near the hill, he immediately discovered the entrance to the mine. He saw several ghoul-like undead horses parked at the entrance, and two of them looked vaguely familiar to him.

The two soldiers who delivered the letter were indeed dead.

Their corpses stood up again, became ghouls and walked into the ground. And now——

——Transformation System·Life Detection
He opened his eyes and looked down. The last flame of life was extinguished at that moment.

I'm late.

But it doesn’t matter.

He had little interest in saving the robber's life, and he also didn't think that any decent but poor person would set up residence in an abandoned mine in the wilderness where wild beasts were rampant and farming and grazing were difficult to sustain.

If there are survivors, then save them. If there aren't any, that's fine too.

He glanced back slightly nervously, and when he found no one following him, he let out a silent breath. He raised his hand, and a glow appeared in his palm. When it fell on the undead horses, they immediately burst into bright flames.

Restoration: Fire of Light.

The White Walkers might be considered formidable killers in the World of Ice and Fire, but they were truly unworthy of the Elder Scrolls universe. After learning the true nature of their otherworldly projections, Wu Chen lost much interest in further research into their existence.

This was the previous idea, because the White Walkers don't have a huge upper limit.

However, when Mirmenir appeared before him, a terrifying suspicion emerged in his mind—this powerful and ancient reclusive dragon would not leave her abode without a reason. And the reason she appeared in the East must be that there was something worthy of her attention.

Something worth paying attention to, something unusual. Using Occam's razor, she first eliminated the possibility of a third world or otherworldly projection. Then, perhaps, there were only two things worth her attention.

——I am from Earth, and...something else from the world of A Song of Ice and Fire.

Most likely a dragon.

Powerful creatures called dragons from the world of Ice and Fire.

Even though dragons from different worlds differ greatly in strength, they are still dragons, and different species possess similar parameters. Mirménil, who lived in seclusion for many years, might have taken action because he sensed the presence of an alien dragon. If so, perhaps Pactunas, who lives in seclusion at the Throat of the World, was also involved.

"Boom—" The brilliant flames burned fiercely, and the undead horses were instantly reduced to dust by the dark magic ignited from within. The air was filled with the smell of burning, and in Wu Chen's hand, another even more brilliant light wave ignited.

Restoration: Protection Barrier

Spells that once required a mask to cast now required only a little preparation and effort. The glowing field instantly expanded outward from his feet, covering the modest abandoned mine in an instant!

Screams erupted from the depths of the mine. The weak, transformed ghouls couldn't withstand the onslaught of divine power for long. They couldn't even cross the sanctified ground to reach Wu Chen. Meanwhile, a massive, concentrated mass of magical energy had already been successfully gathered within Wu Chen's palm.

Wait and count silently.

I felt the subtle threat grow from small to large until I felt a slight tingling sensation in certain parts of my body.

The body then takes action of its own accord.

The tracking spell finally had the correct effect at this moment.

Accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air, three swords and guns made of ice crystals passed by Wu Chen's body, which was twisted into a strange posture, and the ball of magic power tightly grasped in his hand was rapidly released forward in the form of a lightning chain!

With a massive loss of magical power, the spiderweb-like lightning instantly struck multiple targets hidden in the darkness. The total number of White Walkers lurking in the darkness was confirmed to be three. No wonder the two sentinels sent to deliver the message had no chance to escape.

——But now you have no chance.

His magic power reserves were still sufficient, and the robe's healing effect was quite good. Wu Chen, after unleashing his lightning chain, didn't pause for a moment as he raised his hand towards the only entrance to the mine.

The binding sword is formed in the main hand.

However, the main hand holding the amplification staff released a large amount of invisible energy effects.

That's telekinesis.

From initial mastery to actual combat, this novel spell takes no more than three hours. And its current form has a name familiar to Western fantasy enthusiasts.

Bigby's Hand.

The invisible hand of force became tangible upon its target. The White Walker, leaping forward at the front, was frozen in midair by the immense magical power transformed into telekinesis. Its pale, leathery skin instantly shattered, and its icy armor, damaged by the lightning, crumbled into smithereens! The sound of bone cracking echoed, and before the powerful hand could truly crush the White Walker's body, Wu Chen had already strode forward—he couldn't maintain telekinesis while casting other spells. But the already completed and self-sustaining Sword of Binding swung forward effortlessly and smoothly.

A soft sound.

A bloodstain.

Without its icy armor, the White Walker's defense wasn't as strong as expected. Of course, this was also due to the fact that the inhabitants of Nirn possessed far greater physical strength than ordinary ice and fire creatures. He exerted only a slight force, and the sharp, magical energy successfully pierced through the wight's waist and abdomen.

One hit, death.

The severed White Walker instantly became fragile, and the next moment, the telekinetic hand crushed most of its bones. Wu Chen swung his staff horizontally, sending the crushed mass of dark flesh falling to the ground. The massive palm of force then struck the second White Walker mid-air.

An unpleasant sound was heard.

The second White Walker was slammed directly into the rocks of the mountain wall. Blood immediately gushed out of its body, and the next moment, the omnipresent divine power in the protective barrier rushed straight into its body.

The effect was even more pronounced than expected. The monster, originally thought to need a burst of bright fire, instantly ignited into a human-shaped torch amidst a shrill scream. It was very strong, and this burning would last for at least ten minutes. Wu Chen waved his staff again, and the giant telekinetic hand that had been striking him clenched into a fist.

"Bang——" The fist hit the head.

Dark flesh and bones touched the rock in a friendly way. The screaming stopped abruptly, but the third White Walker still did not appear.

Is it cowardice?

Or is it a temporary trap prepared to lure the enemy deeper?
Wu Chen didn't know, nor did he care. He simply extended his staff-holding hand and released the telekinesis. A pure white sphere of flame appeared at the tip of the staff.

The fire of light.

It wasn't affected by the staff's bonus, but when launched, its appearance was not much different from a fireball. It was essentially a lesser fireball spell that only worked against dark creatures, and after Wu Chen successfully incorporated the spell's amplification techniques, its specifications were already equivalent to a fireball.

Wu Chen likes fireballs.

Wu Chen also likes to review combat skills.

The magic power consumed by the Fire of Light was less than one-third of that of a regular fireball. He repeated it ten times in one breath towards the place in the mine where he felt threatened!
There was no movement when the first shot was fired.

When the third repetition was repeated, there was already a suppressed roar of pain.

By the seventh shot, the only thing hitting him was hysteria and curses, while the perceived crisis was falling.

Again and again, again and again, until the depths of darkness were completely silent.

And a notice finally appeared in my own cognition.

——[Kill 1 White Walker and gain 100 resource points.]

The value is higher than expected.

Wu Chen tilted his head slightly.

This victory was a resounding success, enough to extinguish the frustration and depression he had felt earlier. It also proved that even without the mask and the Necromancer Orb, he could still achieve victory.

very nice.

I should also live with a more positive attitude. Milmenier's affairs will naturally be handled by taller people, and I have other things to do—

"[Are you my sacrifice?]" - Dragon language.

"Of course I don't..." Wu Chen said casually... and got stuck.

He froze there.

He turned his head slowly.

The 'woman' in hunting attire with blazing hair and burning eyes was standing quietly a few meters behind him.
