Law of the Swarm

Chapter 142 The Giant Dragon Skeleton
The evil god Rafal seems to have told Ola many things.

System also learned from Aura's words that there are more than a dozen other demiplane temples like Rafal.

According to Aura, the evil god Rafal is basically unable to use his own power because he is in a deep sleep. He needs Aura's help to spread plagues and curses and collect faith.

However, just when Aura conveyed the spiritual message to System in this way, System's [intuition] showed a faint sense of uneasiness.

It's not that Aura lied, but that the message sent by the evil god Rafal to Aura is not true.

Thinking about it carefully, it is very unreasonable for the evil god Rafal to reveal his weakness to Aura. Is it true that Rafal is completely unable to use his power?
It is very likely that Rafal concealed many things and did not tell Ola.

And with Aura's character, it is estimated that he would not have faith in the evil god at all. It is impossible for Rafal to not know that he is probably just using Aura.

This demiplane ring is a lost item, and giving it to Ola will not bring losses to Rafal, and the situation in the Warren Plain will not get worse.

If Aura really acted according to the temptation of the evil god, it is certain that Aura would have been trapped to death by the evil god before the evil god woke up.

……

Aura, who was very happy to swim in the sea of ​​gold coins, was about to undo System's [Spell of Severance] in a short time.

Perhaps it was because Aura got a lot of treasures, and System had no intention of snatching them at all. Aura was in a good mood and didn't make any request for System's curse to be lifted.

However, despite several attempts, the swearing priest of the evil god, Aura, failed to remove System's curse.

In Aura's words, she is not in a very good condition now, and she will definitely clear System's curse in a few days.

System, who could feel emotions, knew that Aura must have received too little power from the evil god, and it was far from being able to clear the vicious curse released by the rat man wizard for sacrificing himself.

It is estimated that even after a few years, this lazy butterfly will not be able to help him get rid of the curse.

However, although Aura was unable to remove System's curse, as a priest of the evil god, Aura had already mastered the method to remove the curse.

Aura passed the method of lifting the curse to System through [spiritual connection], and taught System the method of inspiring the shadow power.

Although she became a butterfly and lost most of her memories, Aura's own vision and understanding of power still exist.

So it was very difficult for System, who had to pass through the evil god to perceive the power, but Aura could easily use it.

System also learned from Aura that the power that drives Rafal's curse spell is called the power of shadow, and it doesn't have to be communicated with the evil god to master it.

And System discovered that the two rings he had just found among the treasures inspired the power of shadow.

As long as you master this power, even if you are not a follower of Rafal, you can still use curse spells.

However, System found it extremely difficult to really try to use the method Aura taught him to feel the power of shadow.

Unlike the frost and natural power in his body, it can be used and absorbed easily.

This method of using shadow power is more like a mage. It needs to perceive, communicate and guide the shadow energy, and only after a long period of time can this power be absorbed and used.

Without the evil god Rafal, it would be impossible for System to master this shadow power in a short period of time, let alone lift the curse.

……

……

System tried to feel the power of the shadow several times, but found no obvious progress, so he left Aura and Sawa to play happily in the treasure pile, and explore the temple alone.

It will take at least ten days before the ring is fully charged.

System came to the main hall, activated the mechanism according to the information provided by Aura, and a corridor passage appeared again in the main hall, and he walked in quickly.

The end of this corridor passage is not a secret room for hiding treasures, but more like a huge warehouse.

The things stacked in the warehouse are basically the same as the furnishings in the palace. Except for a few bottles and cans, the things placed in the warehouse are basically the same old three, magic candles, and the portrait of Rafael in a bone frame. , and the bones of various creatures that were randomly piled up.

The bones in the warehouse are much more diverse than the bones in the temple. System also found some bones of ratmen and gnolls in it, as well as bones of other types of life. name.

And in the depths of these bones, System discovered a huge skeleton of about 12 meters, a headless giant dragon skeleton.

The giant dragon skull under the statue of Rafal in the main hall is undoubtedly the owner of this giant dragon skeleton.

System's fangs leaked some mucus again. The statue of Rafal in the main hall was very weird, and he was afraid, but he still dared to taste the keel in the warehouse.

As if it was the same mood that Aura and Sawa rushed to the golden mountain, System was also very happy to rush to the dragon skeleton.

I don't know how long this dragon skeleton has been stored, but even so, there is still a strange smell from the dragon skeleton. Even if he hasn't started eating, System knows that the dragon's bone must taste extremely delicious.

Once, System got the blood of Frost Cold because of the inadvertent yawn of the Frost Dragon Aura.

Perhaps the strength of the owner of this keel is much worse than that of Aura, but this is a real keel, and it will definitely have an effect on his body beyond imagination.

However, when System opened his fangs and bit the dragon's bone with all his might.

Only then did System realize that he couldn't bite the giant dragon skeleton at all.

After the third pupation, even the fangs that could easily crush even the hardest femur bones of a wolf man could not even leave scratches on the bones of a giant dragon.

System changed the shape of the tentacles, and using [Carapace Spikes] also had no effect on the dragon skeleton.

Even System's first ability [Plague Slime] couldn't corrode the dragon's bones, allowing him to absorb it.

In desperation, System could only find his strongest subordinate, Shava who was still playing with Butterfly Ola among the gold coins.

At the same time, he took away several sharp weapons in the treasure house.

But as to whether Shava can break and destroy the skeleton, System is not too sure, and even if Shava can crush the keel, whether his stomach can digest the keel is also a problem.

Ten minutes later.

Accompanied by a clanging sound, a layer of faint white light appeared on Shava's body, and he began to hack at the keel.

System stared at Shava who kept chopping the keel, and his inner worries gradually disappeared.

Although Shava couldn't split the keel right away, the blades of her legs could leave slight scratches on the keel. As long as Shava continued to chop, it was obviously not a problem to destroy the keel.

Half an hour later, with a slight click, Shava even cut a tiny crack in the keel...
