……

Promoted to legend!

Melen was somewhat delighted, but more so, he was filled with emotion.

Spike was the first dog to follow Mellen. Compared to the four gifted dogs, Xiao Honglian, Garuru, Xiao Liuli, and Golden Retriever, Spike was originally just an ordinary bulldog who awakened accidentally. He was really a grassroots person.

But Spike is also the one with the strongest faith among all of Mellen's dogs.

While Little Red Lotus was circling around Mellen, Spike was practicing.

While Garuru was thinking about the plan to demolish the house, Spike was practicing.

While little Liuli was playing carefree, Spike was practicing.

While Blondie was waiting for Mellen's instructions, Spike was practicing.

It can be said that Spike spent most of his energy on self-cultivation, brutally tempering his body and boringly training his spirit.

Melen saw all of this.

It is undeniable that spiritual energy is indeed an extremely useful universal plug-in and a shortcut to success, but without that consistent and firm belief, Spike would not have been able to reach this point today.

Retracting his scattered thoughts, Melen focused on Spike's current attributes.

The racial level has reached the fourth-level legendary level, and a new legendary racial skill has been added... [Fighting Will (Legendary)].

It is worth mentioning that the racial skills of the previous bulldog and fighting dog stages have completely disappeared.

Of course, this does not mean that their bonuses are gone, but they have been integrated into the fighting dog race and become instinct.

This is not difficult to understand. The so-called racial skills are the advantages of a race over other races. When your foundation is stronger than the opponent's advantages, everything becomes natural.

Similarly, Spike also changed his job to Totem Knight in the early days in order to obtain the ability to purify his bloodline.

Because the Totem Knight is a newly developed profession in the Kingdom's Mystical Academy, it is unstable and has no follow-up path. After Spike absorbed the essence of this extraordinary profession, he simply gave up the rest.

[Fighting Will (Legend)]: The ultimate concentration and sublimation of fighting will, touching the extraordinary, touching the mysterious, and possessing the power to interfere with reality and break the rules.

[Fighting Will (Legend)] Although it is not the power of rules, it is a power of the same level as rules. If we talk about its essence, it is similar to the mind interfering with reality, except that the spirit it relies on is the fighting will.

At the moment Spike was promoted to Legend, the independent structure representing Spike in Mellen's core ability [Wolf Tamer] lit up with golden light, which contrasted brilliantly with the blood-red mist of Little Red Lotus.

After the second anchor point appeared, Melen felt that the world was clearer, as if a layer of dust had been wiped off his mind, making everything appear more real.

Of course, this is just a feeling, and not much has changed in reality.

After savoring it for a moment, Melen withdrew his attention and looked towards the final battlefield.

Because of Spike's joining, the Devouring Swamp became even more stretched. Both the Golden Fighting Will and the Dark Hell Dragon Breath were extremely damaging to the spirit. As the Devouring Swamp's main body was damaged again and again, its materialized form began to become unstable.

Mellen watched this scene quietly in mid-air, frowning slightly.

As of now, the Devouring Swamp is quite strong, but it still does not meet Mellen's expectations.

It's like you go into the game to attack the strongest BOSS in the current version. Before that, you spend a lot of energy on preparation, studying the BOSS mechanism, upgrading the level, updating the equipment, adding buffs, taking potions. In short, after doing everything you can, you come to the BOSS with full confidence. You think it will be a big battle, but in the end you easily kill the BOSS in seconds, and even many of the reserved big moves are not used.

It’s not that there’s anything wrong with this, but Mellen always had a feeling that something was wrong, as if he had overlooked something extremely important.

After pondering for a long time without any results, Melen looked towards the Devouring Swamp and said, "Hand over your core essence, and I can spare your life."

The Devouring Swamp had a cold look, without any emotional fluctuations. He slowly raised his hand, and the entire island began to shake. The swamp rippled, and one thick tentacle after another shot up into the sky, dancing wildly.

A bloody storm blew up around Mellen, and the tentacles that approached were directly crushed.

The Devouring Swamp's actions not only consumed its power, but also had no positive effect on the current situation.

After a brief hesitation, Melen decided not to delay any longer. He nodded slightly to Xiao Honglian, who immediately understood what his master meant. A blood-red wave swept down and joined the battle.

A colorful dream scene appeared in the sky. It was Melen using the power of the Fairy Tale Kingdom to suppress the Devouring Swamp.

At the same time, Melen stroked the [Dog of Corruption]. As a growable extraordinary item, this ring can strengthen itself by absorbing various extraordinary toxins. It has now reached the third level.

Melen had actually thought about how to deal with the Devouring Swamp a long time ago.

The best possibility, of course, is that the other party chooses to surrender, so that he can get another rare item.

If the Devouring Swamp refused to obey, he would have no choice but to destroy it.

Melen also thought about whether the Fairy Tale Kingdom could absorb the Devouring Swamp to strengthen itself.

But after a deeper understanding of the nature of these strange objects, I realized that this idea would not work. Strange objects rely more on the special rules that are inherent to them. If the rules are close or similar, there may be a possibility of fusion and complementarity. However, if two completely unrelated rules are forced to merge, they will only contaminate each other in the end.

In that case, why not help the [Corrupt Dog]?

[The Corrupted Dog] sensed Mellen's thoughts, and a green mist dog floated out of it. It looked at the Devouring Swamp greedily and acted coquettishly towards Mellen, just like an ordinary dog anxiously waiting for its master to give the order to "eat".

Melen smiled slightly, and continuously injected spiritual energy into the [Corruption Dog] to protect its subsequent actions. Then he said, "Go."

The Green Mist Dog cheered and plunged into the main island of the Devouring Swamp, beginning to rapidly devour the latter's power.

The Devouring Swamp didn't take it seriously at first, but soon realized something was wrong and mobilized its strength to strangle the Green Mist Dog. This would have been an easy task for the Devouring Swamp, but Mellen naturally wouldn't let the latter succeed.

Under Mellen's command, Golden Retriever, Spike and Little Red Lotus repeatedly dispersed the power condensed in the Devouring Swamp. This not only prevented the latter from strangling it, but also made the dissipated power more conducive to the Green Mist Dog's absorption. Coupled with the blessing of spiritual energy, the Green Mist Dog was growing stronger almost visibly.

The [Dog of Corruption] ring began to turn dark green, and tiny ancient runes appeared and disappeared, as if it was undergoing a deeper transformation.

The ensuing battle lasted for three full days.

Under the continuous consumption of Golden Retriever, Spike and Little Red Lotus, as well as the continuous erosion of Green Mist Dog, the Devouring Swamp became weaker and weaker, until finally, the materialized form completely disappeared, and all resistance was completely lost.

At this time, the erosion power of the Green Mist Dog had exceeded 50% of the total Devouring Swamp. After reaching this critical point, the speed of erosion suddenly increased. It only took half a day to complete the full occupation of the Devouring Swamp.

The whole process went incredibly smoothly.

After half an hour of silence, countless green mists floated up from the swamp islands. They gradually gathered in the sky, and the swamps on the islands gradually became dry. It was no longer as lush and green as seen at the beginning, but was filled with dead silence.

The green mist in the air grew larger and larger, and its color became darker and darker. It even began to transform into liquid and solid, and gradually condensed into shape.

“Oooooh!~”

A low, strange roar spread throughout the entire sea, and an extremely heavy pressure spread out.

Mellen was also a little amazed when he looked at the huge monster in front of him. He thought that the [Dog of Corruption] would change after absorbing the Devouring Swamp, but he did not expect such a huge change.

In front of me is a huge beast that is ten thousand meters long. It has an appearance similar to that of an ordinary Chinese pastoral dog. Its whole body is green, slightly leaning towards dark green, and the hair on its body is in wisps that are constantly dancing in the void.

Although the giant green dog just stood in the void and did nothing, a faint green trace began to spread outward along the void with it as the center, but the speed was a little slow.

The huge green dog turned its head to look at Mellen, then suddenly collapsed into endless green matter and rushed towards him.

Mellen raised his hand, or to be exact, he raised the [Dog of Corruption]. Soon, all the green substances that could pour over an entire sea entered the [Dog of Corruption].

Melen stroked the [Dog of Corruption]. Although it became a little heavier, it was still within the range of a normal ring.

At this time, the toxins in the entire sea area had been completely swept away, and the swamps on the islands were gone, leaving only countless withered and cracked traces. The whole sea seemed to have lost its support and began to collapse on a large scale.

I believe that it won’t be long before most of this huge island will disappear, and in the end perhaps only scattered small islands will remain.

Melen withdrew his attention and looked at the [Corruption Dog]...

[Dog of Corruption (Legendary)]: A transcendental creature born from miracles and madness, possessing the ability to grow. Now having devoured some of the essence and power left behind by the corresponding wonders, its foundation has been greatly strengthened, and it possesses even greater potential.

Poison Immunity: The wearer becomes immune to any poison below Legendary level.

Toxin dissemination: Can spread its own toxins through various media.

Dog of Corruption: You can summon a legendary Dog of Corruption. When the Dog of Corruption exists, the law of poison will gradually infect the void and form a poisonous field. When the poisonous field is large enough, it will evolve into a poisonous secret realm. When the poisonous secret realm is large enough, it will evolve into a poisonous domain. When the poisonous domain is large enough, it will evolve into a poisonous world.

When the law of poison infects the void, it will be suppressed by the world. The larger the infected area, the greater the suppression.

It can be said that the [Dog of Corruption] has undergone a complete transformation, not only reaching the legendary level, but also possessing the powerful ability to use the law of poison to infect the void after summoning the Dog of Corruption.

This ability should be inherited from the Devouring Swamp. When Melen found the latter, what he broke was a similar secret realm, or in other words, a space that was transforming into a secret realm.

Of course, the cost of using this ability is also very high, and it will be suppressed by the world.

However, this ability is different from Xiao Honglian's [Source of Blood]. Once the [Source of Blood] is unfolded, it will devour the origin of the world, and will use all the life in the current world as nutrients to achieve itself. It is the type that becomes stronger as it fights, and if the start is good, its strength and power can expand rapidly.

The difficulty of the law of poison infecting the void is much higher. It is a constant rate process. Although it does not seem to be hostile to the world, it will attract the attention of the strong in the world. This is similar to those highly concealed toxins, but they will also be suppressed by the world.

The Devouring Swamp has existed for at least several decades, and has been plundering various resources by trickery. Now it has only barely evolved to the level of the Secret Realm of Poison. This shows how difficult it is.

And this is just the beginning. When the erosion reaches a certain level, even if the world is deceived and still has no hostility, the forces in the current world are not fools. How can they allow you to grow by using the world as nourishment?!

These thoughts just flashed through his mind as Mellen stared intently at a strange description in the attributes: 'It has devoured part of the essence and power left by the corresponding strange object.'

What does this represent?!

…………

On another distant continent, a green-haired young man put down the chess piece in his hand, slowly walked to the window, and stared into the distance quietly, without saying a word.

The man playing against the green-haired young man was a well-dressed middle-aged gentleman.

The middle-aged gentleman asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Green Radish?"

After a long while, the green-haired youth, Luluo, chuckled softly, turned around and said, "It's nothing, Mr. Jonathan, it's just that I cut off some things that I couldn't let go of before."

The middle-aged gentleman, Jonathan, asked in confusion, "If it can't be separated, why cut it off?"

Green Radish said calmly: "Because it hinders my progress."

Although Jonathan was still a little puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions and instead said, "We must always move forward. It's better to discard the things of the past as soon as possible."

Green Rose smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Jonathan, I agree to your previous proposal."

Jonathan was stunned at first, then he said happily: "Luolu, this is a wise decision. I promise you will never regret it in the future!"

Luoluo didn't comment and asked, "When do we leave?"

Jonathan said firmly: "Any time!"

"Luluo, the Blue and Green Realm is too small. Leave here and you will see a much wider world!"

Chapter 218 The wall fell and everyone pushed it

"You're saying that the true core of the Devouring Swamp isn't there, and most of its power has disappeared. What we saw before was just an empty shell?"

Mellen's face was solemn. He had a feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

This reminded Melen of the situation when he first obtained the Fairy Tale Kingdom. The latter also did not want to be controlled, so he derived the dark fairy tale based on the normal fairy tale. Although this was also related to the dream rules contained in the Fairy Tale Kingdom, it could also reflect the characteristics of some strange objects.

Shedding the old body and being reborn?

Melen guessed that the Devouring Swamp might be using this method to break free from some kind of constraints and restraints. Now it seems that it should have... succeeded?

After touching the [Dog of Corruption (Legendary)], Melen shook his head slightly, thinking that the Devouring Swamp might not have been completely successful, or it might have been destroyed by his unintentional sudden attack on the way forward.

At this moment, Melen had a strong premonition in his heart that he would inevitably meet the Devouring Swamp again in the future.

Recovering his thoughts, Melen glanced down again, and after confirming that nothing was missed, he set off to return.

…………

When Melen launched a surprise attack on the main body of the Devouring Swamp, a "pollution removal plan" led by the Fairy Tale Alliance and the King's Right Wing was also being carried out in an orderly manner.

Mellen has been planning to attack the Devouring Swamp and the Devouring Council for a long time. A long time ago, he ordered the two major forces under his command to collect intelligence on them.

The two major forces have done a good job in this regard, especially the Fairy Tale Alliance, because they take the high-level infiltration route, so they have more advantages in intelligence gathering.

Although the Devouring Council is an evil organization, it has intricate ties with high-level officials of various countries. The Fairy Tale Alliance did not spend too much effort to compile the list of members of the Devouring Council. This is also related to the fact that they did not deliberately hide it. After all, reputation is also useful for evil forces.

However, they had not been able to find the exact location of the Devouring Swamp before, so they did not want to alert the enemy and had not taken any further action.

And now that they have accidentally learned the location of the Devouring Swamp, they naturally have to take a two-pronged approach and uproot the Devouring Swamp and the Devouring Council all at once.

Kingdom of Crow, City of Deni.

Kadier, one of the five giants of the Fairy Tale Alliance, arrived quietly with some of the elite members of the Fairy Tale Alliance. The local Special Affairs Bureau had been waiting for a long time.

Because of the turmoil that year, the New Faction has already completed the actual control over the Special Affairs Bureau from top to bottom, so now except for the mysterious bureau, the entire Special Affairs Bureau has become the private territory of the New Faction. When the Fairy Tale Alliance launched a full-scale crackdown on the Devouring Parliament, the New Faction's top leaders gave an order, and the Special Affairs Bureau naturally cooperated fully.

The two groups gathered near an ancient castle on the outskirts of Deni City. With a slight nod from Kadier, the elite members of the Fairy Tale Alliance and the Special Affairs Bureau immediately launched an attack.

For a moment, the shouts and cries of killing shook the sky, but it did not last long and the battle came to an end.
