A strange black shadow emerged from the clouds.
A massive, hollow dragon skeleton flew out of the thick clouds. Its enormous wings, which were coalesced entirely by magical power, flapped slowly in midair, bringing along streaks of azure radiance. That was the radiance of spiritual flames.
It used to be a huge beast in the sky, but now, death had wrapped around its body. Every inch of its pale skeleton was covered in a chilling aura.
In its pitch-black, enormous eye sockets, two clusters of pulsating spiritual flames emanated a chilling brilliance.
The clouds split in the gaps between the white bones, scattered in all directions, and then gathered together to form a brand new form.
"— —"
The bugle sounded. Upon hearing the deep sound, the skeletal dragon swayed its body, widened its mouth, and let out a strange howl.
Then, the skeletal dragon flapped its wings forcefully. At the next moment, it dove into the sea of clouds and zoomed toward the front line of blazing flames.
After flapping its wings gently a few times, the skeletal dragon leaped over the pitch-black surface of the sea and arrived at the burning coast. Gazing at the coast illuminated by the scarlet radiance, the skeletal dragon circled for a while, before descending.
Swish!
As the Skeletal Dragon Spirit descended, all of a sudden, a black shadow scuttled out and flew toward the Skeletal Dragon.
Upon witnessing the shadow, the skeletal dragon snarled, extended its razor-sharp claws, and clawed at the shadow.
Along with the skeletal dragon's movements, five mysterious blue light trails flashed by, enfolding the shadow instantly.
“Muashn！”
The instant the skeletal dragon's sharp claws were about to tear the shadow apart, along with a crisp yell, the Chaos flames filled with magical power erupted instantly. The blazing flames flared like a flood that broke through a dam. Even the pitch-black, dense clouds seemed to have turned into burning clouds under the illumination of the flames.
The skeletal dragon apparently didn't expect the opponent to retaliate so fiercely. But even so, it didn't change its movements.
Although they had been transformed into undead creatures, Bone Dragons were still dragons, after all. As dragons, magic resistance was their greatest advantage.
Although this spell seemed powerful, as a member of the Dragon Race, this bit of damage was nothing to a Bone Dragon.
Therefore, in the face of this sudden counterattack, the bone dragon did not choose to retreat. Instead, it continued to advance.
At the next moment, its body was enveloped entirely by the roaring flames.
The magical flames of Chaos leaped and surged on the Bone Dragon's body.
But in the blink of an eye, the flames wrapping around the Bone Dragon's body gradually weakened before disappearing without a trace.
When the flames disappeared, Elise's figure appeared in front of the Bone Dragon.
At this moment, Elyse had completely restored her Blood Kin form, and a pair of huge, bat-like pitch-black wings spread out behind her.
Her bright red dress fluttered even though there was no wind, like flowing blood.
She stared at the bone dragon in front of her without saying a word.
And to her surprise, the Bone Dragon didn't attack the enemy in front of it. Instead, it raised its head and gazed at the young lady quietly as though in a daze.
And upon a closer look, one would discover that the originally blue spiritual fire in the Bone Dragon's eyes was slowly being dyed with a layer of red.
And Elyse, who hovered in front of the Bone Dragon, didn't move at all. She stared at the Bone Dragon and clenched her fists.
After a few moments, the spiritual fire in the Bone Dragon's eyes was dyed entirely red. Up until that moment, Elyse slowly extended her right hand.
Upon seeing Elyse's action, not only did the Bone Dragon not bite the prey to death, but it also lowered its head respectfully like an obedient puppy and allowed Elyse to place her hand on its head.
Looking at this scene, Elyse nodded, retracted her right hand, and pointed forward.
"Go on. Destroy your enemy!"
"— — —!"
Upon hearing Elyse's command, the Bone Dragon let out a snarl. At the next moment, it turned around without hesitation and flew in the direction from which it came.
"Phew …"
Watching the Bone Dragon disappear into the clouds, Elyse heaved a sigh of relief.
Frankly speaking, this was the first time she used the power from her bloodline talent to control an undead creature. But even Elyse didn't expect it to be this simple.
At this thought, Elyse didn't say much. Instead, she bit her lip, turned into a shadow, and descended quickly. In the blink of an eye, she landed from the sky and arrived before Jenn.
"Master, I've done it."
"Well done."
Looking at Elise in front of him, Zayen nodded in satisfaction.
In fact, before coming here, Jenn had already studied how Elyse's [Chaos Ruler] talent worked.
Needless to say, after Zayen's research, he found some rather interesting parts.
It turned out that this was related to Elyse's profession.
Elyse was a Spell Warlock, a profession that specialized in negative energy flames and was the natural enemy of all living beings.
But conversely, it was useless against undead creatures that were also composed of negative energy.
Back then, when Elyse broke into Jenn's dungeon for the first time, she was captured by Enoya because Enoya was an undead creature.
Therefore, even if Elyse had the ability of the Monkey King's 72 Transformations, he could only surrender obediently.
But Zayen did not expect that the talent of the [Ruler of Chaos] was to make an issue out of this!
Spell Warlocks were naturally adept at using Chaos Flame, and Chaos Flame was completely negative energy, which was why it couldn't cause harm to undead creatures. It was like a river merging into the ocean.
Because they would fuse with each other, there wouldn't be any harm.
Not only would there be no harm, but Elyse's Chaos Flame would also enhance the opponent's strength to a certain extent.
And the key to all of this was fusion.
Before awakening, Elyse would only let the negative energy he released benefit others in vain if he used demonic flames.
But after awakening the [Chaos Ruler] talent, it was different.
For example, it was as if Elyse had sent a large group of spies to infiltrate the army of another force, and then took over the other party's military and political power while they were unprepared, and then completely controlled everything in the opposing force.
Of course, there would inevitably be resistance, especially for undead creatures with higher intelligence and stronger self-awareness, which were more difficult to control.
However, it was still possible to give a try for existences like the bone dragon spirit that were transformed into undead creatures and did not have strong self-awareness.
Not to mention that the awakened Elyse was also at the Legendary-level, and although the bone dragon spirit had the advantage of the race, it was not a powerhouse in the Legendary-realm, so it was natural for it to be controlled by Elyse.
But even so, Elyse spent a lot of time. It could be seen that she still needed more practice to master this skill.
If it was in the past, Jenn would probably have to bring Elyse to find some undead creatures. But now, he did not have to worry about this problem. After all, there were countless undead creatures in front of him waiting for Elyse to practice.
It seems that coming to the Chaos Coast this time is really the right choice.
Thinking of this, Jenn came back to his senses. He gestured for Elyse to sit down and rest while looking at the other side of the sea level rather proudly.
He didn't know how Marcus was feeling now.
Looking at the roaring bone dragon spirit above his head, Marcus even had the heart to die.
He originally hoped to command the bone dragon spirit to explore the situation in front, but he did not expect the bone dragon spirit to go around the other party's territory and come back. He didn't know what happened, but it actually started to attack their fleet!
Looking at the bone dragon spirit swooping down again and stretching out its claws to crush a ghost warship, Marcus finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Previously, he hoped to use his power to regain control of the bone dragon spirit, but what Marcus didn't expect was that he could no longer give any orders to the bone dragon spirit!
"Damn it …!!"
Looking at this scene, Marcus gritted his teeth. He stretched out his hand to take out the horn again and hesitated for a moment.
Then, he suddenly grasped both ends of the horn and snapped it hard!
"Boom!!"
Under Medes's action, the originally fragile horn broke directly. At the same time, the bone dragon that had launched a frenzied attack in the ghost fleet also roared and exploded in the next moment.
The violent airflow scattered in all directions, and even the surrounding ghost ships couldn't withstand such a strong air pressure. They couldn't help but scatter to the side.
"What bad luck!!"
Touching the seawater on his face, Marcus threw the captain's hat on his head to the deck.
At this moment, the Great Lich was indeed infuriated. He originally hoped to complete the mission given to him in the shortest time possible.
But he didn't expect so much trouble to arise.
Although everything in Everwinter was going according to plan, what was the situation in Endless Port?
"Something's wrong …"
Looking at the place shrouded in flames, Marcus was silent for a moment. He was sure that there was indeed a problem in Endless Port, and it was a big problem.
But now, he had no way to determine what was going on there.
With this thought in mind, Marcus pondered for a moment and made a decision.
"Retreat for now."
