Chapter 77 Metamorphosis (Seeking first subscription!)
The dragon soul ice crystal shattered and fell to the ground.

Lilia turned around excitedly to take credit.

"Loren, it's broken!"

Loren seemed not to hear.

His gaze was drawn to the divine essence within the ice crystals.

It was a pure white, ethereal aura.

It appears and disappears, revealing an air of mystery.

This is... divine essence?
The white light reflected in Loren's eyes, and he involuntarily stepped forward, wanting to touch that mysterious power.

Lilia sensed something was wrong.

"Loren, what's wrong?"

Loren ignored him and continued to approach the divine essence.

Lilia panicked.

She reached out and grabbed Loren's clothes.

"Don't scare the little deer!"

Lilia looked in the direction Loren was looking, puzzled.

When she saw Shen Yun, she froze on the spot.

What is this?
Such an enticing scent...

In a daze, Loren had already approached the divine essence.

He reached out and touched the white aura.

However, the moment he touched the divine essence, his entire right hand instantly disintegrated.

Like a fragile piece of paper falling into scalding lava...

The strange occurrence brought Loren back to his senses.

The festering right hand did not cause any pain.

But he realized that he couldn't touch this divine essence casually!

at this time.

The divine essence seemed to gain consciousness and suddenly entered Loren's body.

Then, Loren's entire body vanished instantly.

Lilia was stunned.

"Loren! Where are you? You can't die! Don't leave the little deer behind! Waa ...

She burst into tears, feeling wronged.

Loren heard Lilia's cries.

His body dissipated, but his consciousness remained.

He felt his soul power growing stronger.

Without a doubt, this is the power of divine essence!

Then, a beating heart appeared out of thin air, and a new body began to be reborn.

The divine essence did not destroy his physical body, but rather reshaped it in a special way!
Loren felt an unparalleled sense of comfort.

Torso, head, limbs...

Loren reappeared before Lilia.

Under the influence of the divine essence, his soul and body seemed to be sublimated.

The tremendous, transformative improvement left him feeling exhausted.

His consciousness was in a state of confusion, and he fell into a deep sleep...

at the same time.

As a result of the contract, Lilia also underwent a slight change.

She was so absorbed in her grief that she was completely unaware of it.

In addition, the Ring of the Elf is too close to the Divine Essence.

The magical creatures inside the ring were also affected.

The insect and the little elf were overjoyed.

This feeling is even more comfortable than taking a big gulp of magic.

The thousand-year-old ice silkworm was dozing off, completely unaware of what was happening.

Its size has increased slightly.

The cracks on the Frost Dragon Egg became more and more obvious, as if it could hatch at any moment.

The most noticeable effect was felt by the incarnation of the Elf Queen.

The Elf Queen is far away in the Elf Kingdom.

This avatar was her spy left behind to keep an eye on the dragon eggs.

In her spare time, she can observe Loren's actions through her avatar.

She already knew that Loren was exploring the ice labyrinth, but she never expected that Loren would be able to reach the deepest part of the labyrinth.

Now, it has gained a mysterious power.

This power even affected her true form through her avatar!
How can this be?

The Elf Queen reached out her hand.

I'm sure my gut feeling is right.

Her strength is already considered to be at the pinnacle of the magical continent.

It's very difficult to improve to this level.

But now, although the improvement is limited, she has indeed become stronger.

What exactly did Loren do?
The Elf Queen channeled her consciousness into her avatar to observe the situation on Loren's side.

She could only see a dazzling white light.

After the white light, a naked body appeared.

The Elf Queen was puzzled.

Still a level two apprentice wizard.

Still a high-ranking knight.

Loren's strength appears to be unchanged from before.

Its appearance hasn't changed either.

But why do I always feel like he's different from before?

What has he experienced?
"Wow! Loren, wake up! You can't die!"

The noisy sounds came, and the Elf Queen's gaze fell on Lilia.

Through her observations over the past few days, she had already figured out the deer's personality.

They were incredibly stupid.

Loren's breathing was so even; he had no idea why the girl was crying.

Well, Loren is already asleep. Let's ask him about the details when he returns...

Just as the Elf Queen was about to withdraw her consciousness, she unexpectedly sensed an astonishing aura.

……

The Dragon Soul Ice Crystal shattered, and the power of its divine essence was absorbed.

The monsters throughout the ice and snow maze were thrown into turmoil.

The dragon's body can also provide endless magic power.

But magic is ultimately limited.

The labyrinth is filled with monsters, and no amount of magic can last for tens of thousands of years.

Why does the magic of the Ice and Snow Maze endure?
A large part of the reason is because of this Dragon Soul Ice Crystal!

Dragon Soul Ice Crystals are the essence left behind after the fall of a dragon.

It can quickly absorb the magic power between heaven and earth, nourishing the entire labyrinth.

The Dragon Soul Ice Crystal is now destroyed.

It may not have an impact in the short term.

However, thousands or tens of thousands of years later, the monsters in the labyrinth will inevitably kill each other due to the scarcity of magic power, thus leading to their decline and death.

Therefore, all the monsters in the maze felt a vague sense of unease.

This unease made them quite restless.

The Ice and Snow Maze is of particular importance to the Ice and Snow Empire.

The Ice Queen sensed something was wrong the moment the ice crystals were destroyed.

She rushed to the bottom of the maze as fast as she could.

The goddess's statue turned into ice water.

Someone has entered the darkest chamber at the deepest part of the maze!
The empress's face was gloomy.

She stormed into the dark room.

What came into view was a female orc and a naked man who had fallen unconscious.

Ok?
The aura of divine essence?
Deep within the icy labyrinth lies a divine secret.
The Empress was greatly shocked.

What shocked her even more was that someone had obtained the divine essence first!

This guy is just a high-ranking knight!
How did he navigate through the layers of the maze to reach the bottom?
The Empress glanced at Lilia beside her.

This orc isn't particularly strong.

How could it possibly be a match for an earth dragon?

The Ice Queen was completely baffled.

But it doesn't matter.

The man in front of them was clearly not a member of the Ice and Snow Tribe.

Now that he has obtained divine power, he can forget about leaving the Ice and Snow Empire!

The Ice Queen decided to take Loren back and keep him as a gigolo.

Lilia sensed the Empress's powerful aura.

She stopped crying and stared warily at the Empress. "You...you...don't come any closer! Little Deer is very powerful!"

The Empress looked at Lilia.

A peculiar magical being born from the orc race.

She has good talent and the blessing of the Beast God, so we can spare her life for now.

As long as she serves the Ice Empire, everything is negotiable.

Just as the Ice Queen was about to take Lilia and Loren away, a familiar figure appeared before her.

The Elf Queen, Celucia.

To be precise, she is the incarnation of the Elf Queen.

Celucia stared coldly at the Ice Queen. "Stop, Amitir, they are my people."

Amytir suddenly realized.

"So that's why he got into the bottom of the labyrinth. It turns out it was you who was behind this. Seruccia, what are you trying to do?"

“You’ve misunderstood. He came in on his own; it has nothing to do with me.” Celucia had to explain clearly.

She knew the importance of the ice and snow maze.

I don't want to clash with the Ice and Snow Empire.

Amitir clearly didn't believe it. "You mean he can defeat the powerful monsters in the labyrinth and even evade the earth dragon's protection?"

"I'm also curious; your maze seems a bit overrated."

Amytir's face froze.

"Fine, I can overlook the fact that he broke into the maze, but he destroyed the Dragon Soul Ice Crystal, the core of the Ice and Snow Maze."

After a moment's thought, Cecilia said, "I'll compensate you."

Amytil sneered, "How do you plan to compensate me?"

"I can give you a Dragon Spirit Crystal."

Dragon Soul Ice Crystals were formed from the remains of a fallen dragon.

It can absorb magic to nourish the labyrinth.

Just recently, a dragon spirit in the Elf Kingdom perished.

Dragon spirits are slightly weaker than dragons.

However, the crystals it transforms into after its death can serve as a perfect substitute for Dragon Soul Ice Crystals.

Amytil looked at him with disdain.

"Who cares about your dragon spirit crystal? I want it."

Loren.

“Impossible.” Serusia refused decisively.

Although we don't know what Loren did, judging from Amitil's reaction, he must have made a remarkable gain.

Amitir stared coldly at Seruccia.

"This is the Snow Country. Even your true form is no match for me, let alone an avatar."

"So what? The Ice and Snow Empire is vast and sparsely populated. What can it use to fight against the Elf Kingdom?"

Amitir's eyelids twitched. "I don't believe you would go to war with the Ice Empire for him."

"You can try."

Amytir fell into deep thought.

The current relationship between the two countries is going well, and she doesn't want to easily disrupt the peace.

The Elf Queen must think so too.

Would she really go to war with the Snow Country for such an insignificant man?

Amytir didn't believe it.

She asked tentatively, "You and him aren't having an affair, are you?"

Celucia didn't deny it either, "What's it to you?"

Seeing her attitude, Amitir dared not gamble any longer.

"Then you have to give me an explanation. After all, this guy destroyed the Dragon Soul Crystal."

"I told you, it's a dragon spirit crystal."

"I've said it before, I don't care."

The discussion between the two sides reached a stalemate.

Amytil spread her hands. "How about this, let's make a bet."

Celucia stared at her, waiting for her to continue.

Amitil continued, "If he voluntarily joins the Ice Empire, you mustn't stop him."

Celucia hesitated for a long time.

Volunteer?

The Ice and Snow Empire is so poor.

What can compare to the Elf Kingdom?

She had been to Loren's territory and witnessed the development of Sandstone Town.

She didn't believe Loren would abandon Sandstone Town and betray the Elf Kingdom.

“If you lose the bet, you won’t even get a Dragon Elf Crystal,” Serusia said.

“It’s alright. I’ve heard that there’s a Frost Dragon in the Frost Territory to the east of the sea. I can lead my troops there to subdue it at any time.”

Killing the dragon will grant you another Dragon Soul Ice Crystal.

"Okay, I'll bet you. I hope you won't regret it."

Celucia was very confident.

If Loren dares to betray the Elf Kingdom, then kill him.

Amytir smiled slightly, then vanished as snowflakes.

Serusia also transformed back into an elf insect and returned to the Elf Ring.

The dark room returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Lilia was completely confused.

What the hell is going on?
Why did those two beautiful women suddenly disappear?
She did not hear the conversation between the Queen and the Empress.

Although Lilia's talent is strong, it is simply not enough in front of two king-level powerhouses.

The two figures disappeared.

Lilia threw herself back into Loren's arms.

"Wow! Loren, have a good time!"

After an unknown amount of time, Loren was awakened by Lilia's crying.

He rubbed his head.

"Little Deer, why are you crying like this?"

Lilia stopped crying and said pitifully, "The little deer thought you were dead!"

"..."

Loren stood up, feeling an indescribable sense of relief.

The power of the divine essence must have brought him many benefits.

My body feels much clearer and lighter than before, my strength has increased significantly, and my soul is stronger.

However, his wizarding level and knight rank did not improve.

Is this all the power of divine essence?

correct!

Now we might be able to contract a Frost Dragon Egg!

Loren excitedly took out the dragon egg.

The cracks on the dragon egg were already quite obvious.

This time there was no contract scroll, but he had a feeling that the success rate of the contract was extremely high!
Loren unleashed his spiritual power to communicate with the Frost Dragon Egg.

After becoming a wizard, Loren's mastery of mental power became increasingly proficient.

He can now initiate a contract.

This time, the Frost Dragon Egg did not resist strongly.

The contract was successfully completed!

Loren felt exhilarated as he sensed the tiny life within the dragon egg.

The contract was successful, and the dragon egg is about to hatch.

The path to becoming a dragon knight is right before your eyes!

Of course, becoming a dragon knight is not that simple.

A true dragon knight needs to contract a dragon and possess the power to ride it.

Dragon eggs need time to hatch and mature.

Loren's strength was also insufficient to control a true dragon.

A single breath from the Demon Flame Dragon can incinerate a small island.

The Frost Lord's frost power is enough to freeze large areas of the sea.

To become a dragon knight, one must at least possess the fighting spirit to rival the power of a dragon.

Loren's path to becoming a knight is still long.

It's time to leave the maze.

The way back was harder than the way we came.

Because when he arrived, he could use various methods to attract the monsters at the entrance.

However, on the way back, there's a high chance you'll run into monsters.

The earth dragon on the fifteenth floor might be able to be suppressed with dragon eggs.

But what about the hydra at the entrance to the fourteenth floor?
Only the Queen incarnate can resolve this situation.

Now that he had obtained the divine essence, he could finally summon his avatar without any scruples.

Loren retrieved the sleeping elven insect from the Elf Ring.

Ok……

How can I wake her up?

Loren thought for a moment, then reached out and flicked the elf bug's head on the forehead.

The fairy insect opened its eyes.

Loren felt a pair of cold eyes staring at him.

Are you looking to die?

A cold voice echoed in his mind.

Loren coughed lightly. "Your Majesty, I would like to request your assistance."

Celucia looked around and found Loren still in the dark room, and he was naked.

"Could you please put some clothes on first?"

Really hot eyes!
Loren fell silent.

When the divine essence helped him reshape his physical body, his clothes had already turned to ashes.

He had no spare clothes.

Loren looked at Lilia.

Lilia looked wary. "What do you want?"

"Take off a piece of clothing and give it to me so I can cover myself up."

At least the genitals should be covered.

Lilia was horrified and quickly covered herself, crying out, "No! These are Little Deer's clothes!"

After thinking about it, I realized that the deer's clothes were indeed inconvenient.

Loren sighed, "Your Majesty, I beg you..."
