What bad intentions could the original dragon have?

Although it is unknown why most of the highest-level elemental life forms will spontaneously transform into dragon form, in essence, elemental life forms do not have a so-called "body", and the dragon form is just an instinctive mimicry.

But the concept of "dragon" on this sword made Zhong Ling feel very uncomfortable.

It not only holds the resentment of the dragon after its defeat, but also the curse of the dragon itself.

When such resentment and curse are mixed together, they form a deadly poison that can corrode even the life of a dragon.

Moreover, the resentment of the dead dragon will also resonate with other dragons. Dragons infected by such emotions will become extremely violent, and will suffer from various adverse conditions caused by the poison.

It is very likely that a normal dragon will sink into anger, sorrow and rage, and eventually turn into an evil dragon.

In addition to resentment and curses, the aura of the [Abyss] on this sword is also extremely obvious.

Therefore, the source of the curse on this sword is already obvious...

"Is it Du Lin?" Zhong Ling did not touch the sword. She didn't want to touch the [Abyss] at all.

"That's right." Albedo nodded. "There was a blacksmith who ground Durin's eyes, scales and other remains into powder, applied it to the sword, and then forged it repeatedly to make these materials blend into the sword."

"In this way, the sword possesses Durin's power."

"Indeed, if you want to obtain the power of supernatural beings such as dragons and demons, then the method is the same as the forging method mentioned by Mr. Albedo." Zhong Ling nodded. "It is very simple to integrate the power of supernatural beings into weapons. This is not a very advanced forging method. In fact, anyone who knows how to swing a hammer can do it."

"Of course, 'being able to do it' and 'being able to do it well' are two different things."

"The average person would only be able to achieve one tenth of the effect if they did this. Although the forging technique of this sword is not bad, it is still far from the power that Durin should have."

Du Lin is very strong, although his strength is not as good as that of Naga and Rota.

But it is much stronger than Twarin.

Although Zhong Ling didn't know what the Seven Rulers of the World encountered in Kanreya, it was certain that Barbatos fell directly on his doorstep after returning from Kanreya.

If it weren't for Durin's attack and the people's prayers awakening Him, He would have probably slept for three to five hundred years.

When Barbatos woke up, his divine power had not been restored, and it could even be said that there was very little left.

Barbatos summoned Tevarin and fought with him until he defeated Durin.

According to Zhong Ling's estimation, Durin's strength is about 1.3 Tevarins.

"This sword is incompetent for most people, but Miss Ying, you were able to reverse the 'erosion' of the Abyss and restore Miss Zhong Ling and Tevarin to normal. You should have the ability to control this magic sword."

"I don't think it makes sense." Zhong Ling didn't want Ying to touch such a thing. "The reason why the magic sword is a magic sword is because it is not a good thing."

"Even if the power is impressive, that's all."

"Maybe it won't have any effect on Ying, but using such a weapon to fight..." Zhong Ling stared at the sword, then looked at Ying. "If Ying wants a dragon-like weapon, just turn the cloak on her body into a weapon."

"Things like dragon scales, dragon claws, and dragon teeth are just the cheapest things to me."

"Yeah...indeed." Albedo pinched his chin.

Durin's own strength was not enough to compete with Zhong Ling, not to mention that his remains after death were used to forge weapons using human methods.

After all, even if Durin's entire corpse was forged into a weapon, it would still be too weak for this person.

"But then again." Ying expressed her opinion. "Since this sword is driven by Durin's power, and Durin's power is inextricably linked to the Abyss, and Tevarin will go crazy after swallowing Durin's poisonous blood, I can purify Tevarin."

"So...if I use this sword, will I purify it? If so, after it is purified...will it still be useful?"

"Hmm... I didn't expect that, but it can be used as a subject." Albedo nodded with interest. "It's worth a try."

"Eh?! Look! Is it glowing?!" Paimon pointed at the sword floating in the air in shock.

The eye-like ornament on the hilt of the sword was now emitting a very faint purple glow.

"..." Zhong Ling turned her head and looked towards the valley named 'Sleeping Dragon Valley', which was not far from Albedo's camp and where Durin died.

You can clearly see the huge skeleton left behind after Du Lin's death.

"It is absorbing Du Lin's power." Zhong Ling said with certainty.

Durin's power has covered the entire 'Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain'. It has replaced the 'ground veins' and become the 'hotbed' here.

All kinds of monsters and hillbillies living in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain are tainted with Durin's aura.

And now, this sword is absorbing the extremely faint breath of Durin that permeates the air.

"Miss Zhong Ling's statement should be correct." Albedo agreed. "This is also the reason why I want to study this sword."

"So, Miss Ying, you decide whether to use this sword."

"What if, after I get my hands on the sword, its power is purified and it turns into scrap metal?" Ying did not take the sword directly.

"That doesn't matter. If it can become stronger, there are stronger topics to be discussed. If it becomes scrap metal, there are also topics that can be derived from it. I am interested in both." Albedo gave the decision to Ying.

"Um... Linglong, what do you think?"

"Whatever you want." Although he hated the sword, it was fine if Ying wanted to play with it. "If Ying wants to use this sword, then give me the Sky Blade for a while."

"Eh?" Ying blinked in confusion, took out the [Sky Blade] and handed it over. "What's wrong?"

Ying doesn't think Zhong Ling needs [Sky Blade] to fight.

After all, compared with [Sky Blade] and Zhong Ling's claws... maybe Zhong Ling's dragon claws are harder and sharper.

"My nails have grown a little longer recently." Zhong Ling placed the white and slender dragon claws in front of Ying.

Ying fell into deep thought as she looked at the nail that had grown out at some unknown time and only protruded about three millimeters from the fingertip.

"Speaking of which, Linglong, do you like eating sunset fruit?" Ying looked at Zhong Ling's fingers and suddenly asked out of the blue.

"Huh? Sunset fruit?" Zhong Ling tilted her head in confusion, not knowing what Ying's purpose was in asking this.

But since it was Ying who asked, just give a normal answer.

"As for sunset fruit, I quite like it." This pure natural fruit is quite tempting to Zhong Ling.

Although she is not like the Qilin, she only eats wild fruits, flowers and plants instead of meat.

But if she really has to say a preference, she is more inclined to wild fruits.

"Oh, I see." Ying nodded and didn't continue the topic.

"Hmm?" Zhong Ling became even more confused.

"Let me try this sword." Ying reached out and grasped Albedo's purple-black long sword. "It feels icy cold, even colder than ice."

Ying told Albedo how she felt.

"Oh?" Albedo nodded slightly. "It's not the sword's fault, but the temperature of 'Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain' is too low, causing it to be very cold."

Albedo explained the source of this coldness in a serious tone.

That extremely serious expression was inexplicably funny.

"I see... Paimon, I heard something." Ying nodded and looked at Paimon. "After the iron is frozen, it tastes like a popsicle when licked, and it's even sweeter than the sweet flower."

"Really?!" Paimon's eyes lit up.

"Do you want to try it?" Ying held the sword in his hand, ready to lick Paimon.

"Ying." Zhong Ling, who was standing by, still felt sorry for the child, so she reached out and grabbed Paimeng.

"Okay." Ying stuck out her tongue, trying to get away with it.

"Ah! Traveler!" Paimon suddenly realized. "You bad guy!"

"Hey~"

"Hey, what do you mean?"

"It seems that Miss Ying really doesn't feel anything when she touches this sword." Albedo looked at Ying who didn't seem to be surprised and nodded. "So, did Miss Ying feel the sword's power weakened?"

Durin's power is closely related to the [Abyss], which is a distorted dragon power.

Otherwise, at Durin's age he could only be considered a young dragon and would not be able to compete with Tevarin.

The power of the Abyss distorted Durin's dragon power and expanded it to an extremely terrifying level.

If Ying holds the sword and eliminates the [Abyss], then the distorted dragon power may be restored to normal.

If that were the case, then the sword's power would be weakened to the point where it would be barely noticeable.

"Hmm?" Ying waved the sword and channeled the elemental force into the sword.

Ying could clearly feel that after her elemental force entered the sword, it mixed with another kind of force. Ying often experienced this feeling.

[Sky Blade] contains the divine power of Barbatos and the power of Tevarin [Wind God's Follower].

These two will amplify Ying's wind elemental power.

Assume that the effect of 1 elemental force in normal state is 0.5.

Then after the amplification of [Sky Blade], it will directly grow to more than 3. If it is in Mondstadt, this power will increase further.

This sword will increase Ying's attack effect to around 0.8.

The data does not seem to be high, but it is actually a huge improvement. According to Albedo, the power of this sword is still dormant and needs to be awakened by Durin's breath in the body of the monster in the "Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain".

'Swish'

Ying casually transformed the elemental force that was poured into the sword into a wind blade and swung it out.

The wind blade mixed with the ice and snow that never melted in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain and fell on a snow pile not far away.

Under the influence of the characteristics of wind elemental force, a snow line spread out.

"It's okay, but the feel isn't as good as Sky Blade." After Ying said that, he poured rock elemental power into the sword.

Anyway, Albedo has already seen through her identity and discovered her rock elemental power, so there is no need to hide it.

"【Desolate Planet】!" The golden rock elemental power bloomed at the tip of the sword, and as Ying swung the sword, a meteorite fell to the ground with a loud bang.

"Huh?" Ying held the sword and looked at it in surprise. "Its effect on rock element is much stronger than Sky Blade."

After all, the Sky Blade contains the power of the Wind God, so it is normal that it has no effect on the rock element.

The sword's increase in rock elemental power is equivalent to that of wind elemental power.

"I'm done...will I have to carry several swords with me in the future?" Ying thought about her future.

One sword of wind element, one of rock element... As the elemental power increases, the number of swords he carries with him also increases.

"Eh?" Suddenly, Ying looked at his wife. "Linglong, teach me the sword-wielding technique!"

"Ah?" Zhong Ling blinked, not knowing why Ying suddenly said this. "【Sword Controlling Technique】?"

Zhong Ling put her index finger and middle finger together to form a sword finger.

"Rise." The 'Sky Blade' in her hand flew up in the air.

The sword pointed forward, and the 'Sky Blade' turned into a stream of light that flashed across the petrified skeleton of 'Sleeping Dragon Valley'.

A neat sword mark appeared on the petrified bones.

The petrified bones were easily cut off, and with a loud noise that echoed throughout the 'Sleeping Dragon Valley', the broken parts fell straight to the bottom of the valley.

"Learn this?" Zhong Ling hooked her fingers, and the Sky Blade quickly returned to her side, floating obediently. "It's not a very difficult technique. To put it simply, it's just holding it with elemental force."

"Ying can use 'Elemental Vision' to take a look...but be prepared."

"Mental preparation?" Ying closed her eyes and then opened them suddenly.

The field of vision was immersed in black, white and gray, but the wife in front of him was clearly aqua blue.

The aqua blue represents the water elemental force. Since Zhong Ling is an elemental life, she can directly see the color in the "elemental vision".

However, this is nothing. People who are contaminated by elemental power will have color in the "elemental vision".

But what Zhong Ling asked Ying to prepare for was...

A golden hand extended from Zhong Ling's shoulder and grasped the 'Sky Blade'.

In other words, it is to manipulate the elemental force to form a hand to hold the "Sky Blade". This is the truth of Zhong Ling's [Sword Controlling Technique].

And this golden hand is not ordinary elemental power, but the special "magical power" of the immortal. Moreover, because of the "magical power", this hand can be extended.

"I see... What if there are multiple swords?"

"If it's the 'Rain Curtain Sword', then just control it directly." Zhong Ling collected a stream of water elemental force from the air and turned it into a water stream, which then formed the 'Rain Curtain Sword'.
