The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

Chapter 57 Fallen Shadow Underworld

Outside Windmill Town.

While controlling the construct search, Ron checked the battle situation in Windmill Town through the pre-placed reconnaissance vision.

After seeing Vivian leading a group of adventurers and mercenary groups to join the battle, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Everything is under control."

If he hadn't let it go, how could the monster escape from the attack range of the dragon's breath.

This is a trial.

As for the object of the trial.

Suddenly, the suffocating blanket to the southeast gave a hint.

It discovered spatial fluctuations of unknown origin.

It seems that the source of the beast tide has been found.

Ron quickly switched to the perspective of the blanket.

He wanted to see what was causing trouble and dared to disturb his rest time.

You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it

"What the hell? Dragon God, what is this?"

After Ron saw the black thing clearly, he couldn't help but complain.

It wasn't that Ron had poor acceptance, it was just that the scene in front of him was too shocking.

This stuffy blanket is located in a large canyon, and it is staring at an unknown object in the center of the canyon.

As soon as Ron switched his perspective, what he saw was a space crack that was tens of meters long and five meters wide!

The blue-white space cracks are still emitting black mist-like gas to the surroundings.

The surrounding land shrouded in black mist has turned into black and white.

It seems to have changed from a three-dimensional color creature to a two-dimensional ink painting.

The corpses of monsters densely scattered around the black mist proved it.

It is the culprit of this beast tide!

Ron carefully controlled the blanket to fly downward.

He wants to try what this black mist is, after all, this is his (future) kingdom.

In the future, Ron will have to rely on this country to complete his mission of searching for travel targets.

But things like the fire elemental plane cannot happen.

Under Ron's control, the blanket changed into an upright flying position in a very anthropomorphic manner.

He flew lightly to the side of the space crack.

Ron was prepared for the worst.

If you can't resist, just take all your belongings and run away to other dimensions.

The black mist slowly surrounded the suffocating blanket, but no special changes occurred.

It seems that the black mist's ability to kill monsters is invalid for constructs?

It's a pity that the identification technique cannot be used on the construct, and the main body must be reached.

Ron tried to touch the crack in space with the corner of the blanket.

A strong suction force came, almost sucking the stuffy blanket in.

Ron quickly controlled the blanket and evacuated from the center of the crack.

"It's not an ordinary space crack, but this crack is very stable and will not dissipate even if it is touched."

Ron rubbed his chin and thought.

Regardless of whether it is on the main plane or the demiplane, it is possible for space cracks to naturally occur.

Under normal circumstances, the birth and healing of space cracks take place in an instant.

Even if it is not healed, it will break like glass if it is lightly touched by a foreign object.

Their stability is extremely poor.

This has also led to many legends in the star world, where great heroes or villains are often swallowed up by sudden space rifts.

Later, he encountered various legendary events and obtained treasures, and finally the king returned.

But looking at the gas exposed in this crack, the plane opposite is probably not a tourist attraction.

"What on earth is this black mist?"

He controlled the blanket again and carefully observed the corpses of the monsters around him.

This time Ron made a new discovery.

"These monsters seem to be undergoing some kind of transformation?"

With the constructed body, many things are inconvenient to do.

Ron operated the blanket to wrap up a corpse of a monster like seaweed.

Then he flew to the main body unsteadily.

Ten minutes later.

Ron looked thoughtfully at the black and white gray jackrabbit corpse in front of him.

[Identification successful]

[Name: None]

[Race: Gray Jackalope]

[Evaluation: Dead and in progress of shadow transformation. 】

Looking at the system's evaluation, Ron confirmed his thoughts.

After searching the dragon inheritance memory, he found similar descriptions in the knowledge classification of special planes.

Opposite the space crack should be one of the special planes of the star realm:

Fallen into the underworld!

This plane is documented in the Legacy of the Dragon.

Moreover, His Majesty Bahamut, the Good Dragon God, also specially added a note:

[All metal dragons below the demigod level should not enter that plane, it will corrode our bodies and even souls]

Just one sentence is enough to know the horror of this plane.

But what exactly is going on in this plane, we still have to look at the inheritance.

Ron quickly searched for the Legacy of the Dragon and the Heritage of the Rainbow Dragon.

After integrating the information from the Shadowfell Underworld, I finally understood the special features of this plane.

The Shadowfell Underworld, also known as the Shadow Plane.

It is a dimension where all colors except black, white and gray have been extracted from everything.

It is a dark place that resists light, and the sky within it is a dark dome without either sun or any starlight.

The Shadowfell stacks with the Material Plane in the same way as the Feywild. Apart from the colorless landscape, it looks very similar to the Prime Material Plane in the Astral Plane.

All Prime Material Plane landmarks are identifiable in the Shadowfell, although they are distorted—reflecting distorted images of beings on the Material Plane.

A mountain that towers over the Material Plane, its counterpart in the Shadowfell Underworld is a jagged rock.

The exposed parts resemble a skull, a pile of rubble, or the crumbling ruins of a once-grand castle.

The great forests of the Shadowfell are dark and twisted, their branches reaching out to seduce the cloaks of travelers and their roots coiling around all who pass by.

"Similar to the reflection of the main plane of the star realm? And it's also a distorted shadow."

After reading all the information, Ron gave a summary of Shadowfall Underworld.

What troubles Ron the most is that there is a curse in the Shadowfell Underworld, and anyone or anything that enters will be entangled by this curse.

[Shadowfall Despair: Transform everything that enters the Shadowfall underworld into shadow form]

Even if a giant dragon enters it, it will be slowly eroded by this curse and transform into the infamous shadow dragon!

Even the five-color dragons scorned this undead creature, and it was ranked alongside the Bone Dragon as the most hated dragon in the eyes of the entire dragon clan.

Oh no, in the eyes of real dragons, these two have been expelled from the dragon membership

If a golden dragon or silver dragon knew where the shadow dragon existed, they would do their best to gather all their relatives and friends and form a group to defeat it!

This shows how unpopular Shadow Dragon is.

[Shadowfall Despair] is the root of the creation of Shadow Dragon.

Only demigods and above can be completely immune to this curse, hence Bahamut's words.

It stands to reason that this kind of plane should be the public enemy of the entire dragon clan. There are not many true gods in the plane, so it should have been destroyed by the dragon clan long ago.

But in fact, the Shadowfall Underworld has a very special status in the star world, and even the Dragon God does not dare to attack it easily.

Because it is one of the three major passage planes in the star world!

There are large and small shadow passages in the Shadowfell Underworld.

The Shadow Passage is a weak point between the other planes and the Shadowfell, allowing some creatures to travel between the two planes.

There might be a shadowy passage in a corner of a dusty crypt, or an open tomb.

The Shadow Pass is a dark place where spirits and the stench of death linger, such as battlefields, cemeteries, and tombs.

They only appear in darkness and immediately shut down when they feel the touch of light.

The Shadowfell Underworld is an indispensable transit station in the astral world, through which you can quickly travel to other planes.

It is unique.

In the endless star realm, there is only one shadow plane.

The more powerful the creature, the slower the curse [Shadow Despair] erodes.

If you want to erode a legendary dragon, it will take at least a hundred years.

Therefore, there are still many powerful beings who will quickly go to other planes through it.

After knowing the cause of the beast tide, Ron was now in a bit of a dilemma.

"This is a relatively stable space crack, not an ordinary Shadowfall passage. Do you want to destroy it?"

Looking at the black mist beneath him, he fell into deep thought.

After confirming the safety, Ron had already flown above the space rift.

Looking from above, dozens of kilometers of forest have been eroded by the curse flowing out of the Shadowfell Plane.

They are undergoing shadow transformation, and the color of the trees is gradually changing.

I think in a few months, it will be successfully transformed into the specialty of the Shadowfell Underworld: the Shadow Jungle.

"It feels like it's better to keep this crack. If you need to go to other planes without coordinates in the future, you may be able to go there quickly."

Ron thought for a moment and finally decided to seal it and use it as a trump card.

Then he began to release high-level dragon language magic.

Ordinary magic sealing methods have no effect on this kind of curse.

A huge iridescent light bloomed from his hand, and Ron began to set up a huge blocking magic circle.

θ (Dragon language: Space must also listen to my orders!)

[Dragon Language Magic·Space Blockade]

[Seven Rings Magic·Eternal Solidification Technique]

He needs to seal this crack to prevent the curse from spreading further, and at the same time, he needs to be careful about others entering this space by mistake.

Using a fourth-level wind attribute magic core as a casting material, Ron once again deployed a hidden magic circle.

[Seven Rings Magic·Twisted Light Field]

This magic can make surrounding creatures unconsciously avoid this area and cover up the breath of the curse.

"Done! That's it."

"It's really exhausting."

Looking at the forest gradually returning to its original state, Ron stretched in the air.

Then you can go back to sleep.

The mysterious teleportation magic circle appeared at his feet again.

“The only things you can’t live up to are food and sleep.”
