Chapter 399: Everdark Dragon Lord! Activating · [Primeval Chanter]
"Hiss... Roar..."
A dense swarm of Undead restlessly collided with one another. A rich death aura and negative energy blanketed the area, forming a faint black mist.
The air was filled with a solemn silence!
Benjerry of the Abyss, the White Saintess, the Sage Wolf, the Red-Eyed Duke, the Glutton, the Death Rider, the King of Corruption, the Yellow Specter, and the Myriad Army Elder had all gathered here.
One by one, the inner members of the Abyssal Body, clad in various magic items and glowing with magical buffs, stood ready!
The entire Valley Hills was steeped in an intangible, eerie silence, broken only by the occasional hisses of the Undead.
Benjerry of the Abyss and the others all remained silent.
They were all of a somber disposition. Even the Red-Eyed Duke, who normally enjoyed livening things up, had forgone his usual golden, shimmering aesthetic.
As Undead, they should not have been subject to strong emotional fluctuations.
But at this very moment!
Benjerry of the Abyss felt a tension welling up from the depths of his being, an emotion that felt both unfitting and yet perfectly natural.
The enemy was no ordinary Dragon Lord.
He was one of the strongest in the world. How could anyone feel relaxed when facing such an opponent?
If it weren't absolutely necessary, they truly wouldn't want to confront him head-on. If they could escape, that would be for the best, but it was clearly impossible.
There was no escape!
Their only choice was to resist with all their might and defeat him.
Benjerry of the Abyss's two heads vigilantly scanned the surroundings. The detection magic had already been cast, allowing them to pinpoint the location of that individual the moment they appeared anywhere in this area.
A flash of red caught the corner of his eye.
The vampire lady!
She was not standing with them but was positioned on the outer edge.
She was an external support for their Abyssal Body. To be precise, the true support was the undead entity backing the vampire lady.
At the same time!
Located in an even more remote part of this area.
To prevent any accidents, Tang Zheng had already transformed into his Dragon Lord form. Under the effect of his [Ninjutsu: Concealment] ability, he was completely invisible as he watched the battlefield prepared by the Abyssal Body.
"I wonder which True Dragon Lord it is?"
Tang Zheng thought to himself, his gaze sharp as he looked ahead.
Currently, it was no exaggeration to say that the number of True Dragon Lords in the Otherworld who had mastered Primal Magic could be counted on one hand. Therefore, as long as the opponent revealed himself, it wouldn't be difficult to analyze which True Dragon Lord he was.
He glanced at Evileye's position.
Tang Zheng frowned almost imperceptibly. Truthfully, he had never intended for Evileye to participate.
Whether it was the Abyssal Body or Evileye, they might know that a True Dragon Lord's power was immense, but their understanding and comprehension of this 'immense' power were severely lacking.
In fact.
Were it not for the fact that Tang Zheng held a World Item and had to personally witness the spellcasting process to trigger his skill acquisition, he would never have let himself get this close to a battlefield against a True Dragon Lord of unknown strength.
Thinking of Evileye's insistence.
Tang Zheng felt helpless. He could only allow Evileye to participate on the premise that she could guarantee her own safety.
"I hope the preparations are sufficient," Tang Zheng thought, a brilliant light shining in his eyes.
He glanced at his stat panel.
[Experience Slot: 72.65m / 2.28m]
Just one chance—that was all it would take!
Swish!
Suddenly, the sky darkened.
A terrifying fluctuation of aura and an oppressive feeling instantly enveloped the battlefield as a massive, pitch-black figure appeared in the sky.
It instantly drew everyone's gaze!
It was as if the creature's very existence possessed a natural magnetism, compelling one's eyes to lock onto it.
Behold.
It was a giant dragon nearly thirty meters in size, its entire body covered in inky-black, sturdy scales that emanated a metallic luster.
Cold, amber vertical pupils gazed down indifferently at the scene below.
What was incredible...
Was that the moment this black dragon appeared, the surrounding light seemed to be absorbed by its black scales, causing the space around it to dim.
A single glance!
It could even induce a feeling of vertigo, as if an invisible membrane was preventing anyone from seeing the details of its body clearly.
This was not some kind of magic.
It was an effect of the black dragon's own power, causing the light in the surrounding area to refract irregularly, creating a special phenomenon.
Seeing the figure of this black dragon, Tang Zheng's pupils subconsciously contracted.
It was him!
In his memory, there was only one who matched the description of this black dragon—the Everdark Dragon Lord.
What truly made Tang Zheng solemn was not just that this opponent had a record of solo-killing a Player, but that he also possessed one of The Twenty, a World Item.
That was the most daunting part!
Vwoom—
The stat panel vibrated at this moment.
『Discovered Special-type Magic [World Shift], requires Job... Kzz... Analyzing...』
『Analyzing...』
『Ding!』
『Discovered Special-type Magic [Mid-Tier Primal · World Shift], requires Special Job Class [Primeval Chanter]. Job not possessed. Consume 3 Skill points to learn?』
『Requires prerequisite Special Job Class [Dragon Race Transcendent]. Condition met!』
『Requires prerequisite Intermediate Job Class: None. Cost: 6 Skill points.』
『Requires prerequisite Basic Job Class: None. Cost: 9 Skill points.』
『Requires Racial High-Tier Job Class: [Elder]. Condition not met. Cost: 12 Skill points.』
『Requires Racial Intermediate Job Class: [Elderly]. Condition not met. Cost: 15 Skill points.』
『Current conditions not met. Job acquisition fai... Conditions being supplemented...』
"It's finally here!"
A look of delighted surprise appeared on Tang Zheng's face when he saw the activity on his stat panel. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
As expected!
Only Primal Magic cast through a job could trigger the job acquisition notification, not a generic skill formed through an innate ability.
But before the joy could fully register.
A dense stream of information flashed across the stat panel. The moment the words "Job acquisition fai..." appeared, his heart couldn't help but tighten.
He hadn't expected the [Primeval Chanter] job to have so many prerequisites!
"This..."
Tang Zheng's heart leaped into his throat. If it failed even like this, then Primal Magic would be completely out of his reach forever.
Thump! Thump!
A sound like the heavy beat of a drum resounded in Tang Zheng's mind.
