Just as the Demon Slayer Continent and Claymore Island collided,
Orochimaru had already arrived at the Dragon Person Tower's lair, located in the Sky City's lowest and most central area.
Originally,
this place was very desolate, occupied by scattered monsters, magical armor, and stone giants that had escaped from areas like the Dark Corridor and the Stone Giant Tower.
It wasn't until the Dragon Person race gained sentience that all those creatures were expelled.
Only the Dragon Person race and their magnificent palace remained.
Boom.
The intensely burning flames instantly engulfed the Skeleton Sea.
Large numbers of skeletons were burned to ashes by the high temperature, and flames as thick as a river poured out.
"Damn it."
Orochimaru, his Necromancer robe tattered, escaped the flame-covered area.
His gaze was sinister,
and his anger and heartache were unconcealed, releasing intense malice.
He hadn't expected
that the [Dragon Head Sculptures] near the Dragon Person Palace could spew high-temperature magical flames.
Although the Skeleton Sea summoned by his skill could provide him with undead creatures,
they were all the lowest-level skeletons and corpses.
Most of the damaged undead were elite undead he had painstakingly nurtured with countless reward points and materials.
What pained him the most was a leader-grade undead snake,
which he had been cultivating as a clone of the Dead Spirit Curse Snake, pouring in countless precious undead materials.
It also turned to ashes in the flames just now.
Undead inherently feared flames, which was almost a fatal blow to him.
"Excellent."
Tsunade and the others clenched their fists, a smile on their lips.
If Orochimaru were to conquer another Lord-level map, the Fire Empire would truly have a tendency to unify the Ninja World.
Fortunately, there was still a turning point now.
"Itachi-sensei, I didn't expect you to care so much about that snake."
In the Dark City's square,
two figures in black robes, one slightly taller, looked at their motionless companion.
Uchiha Itachi was silent for a long time, then sighed, "The Orochimaru of the past was defeated by my eyes, which could see through future destiny."
"Although he was one of the Sannin, his capacity could not bear his ambition."
But the Reincarnation Game completely changed destiny, causing his eyes to no longer be able to peek into the future.
Sasuke was completely out of his control,
and so was Orochimaru, who had already broken through his original destiny with the power of the Reincarnation Game, becoming someone even he couldn't see through.
"Kisame, after clearing this area, I need some rest."
During this time,
he and Kisame diligently served the Akatsuki and also gathered some information about the Akatsuki's ally, [Dawn].
Orochimaru was also eyeing them covetously, his desire to destroy Konoha never dying.
It was time to return to Konoha, to burn the last light of his sinful self, and protect Konoha and the Fire Will.
Dragon Person Palace,
countless Dragon People knelt on the ground, devoutly bowing to their leader in the center.
Unlike ordinary Dragon People, the Dragon Person Leader's body was extremely tall, with robust muscles covered in fine blue scales.
He wore a necklace on his chest, a gemstone-like crystal formed from the condensed magic of the Sky Sea.
This pure magical energy source provided him with powerful strength.
"Despicable invaders, how dare you trespass into the Dragon Person race's territory? You can only die!"
The Dragon Person Leader's throat rumbled, emitting a thunderous sound.
With the magical crystal on his chest,
he could control all the nearby Dragon Head Sculptures, which had been crafted over many years by the Dragon Person race from soil infected with Sky Sea magic and then fired.
They possessed powerful magic.
However,
the invader's strength was greater than imagined, and the Dragon Head Sculptures' power failed to kill Orochimaru.
"Good, I'll personally twist the invader's neck and hang it on the Dragon Person race's banner!"
A lightning-flashing iron trident was tightly gripped by Lukas, the Dragon Person Leader.
In a corner,
a thumb-sized undead spider observed the scene in the Dragon Person Palace.
[Fallen Lukas, the Lord (Lv.22)]:
The core pollution source of the Dragon Person Tower, wielding extremely powerful lightning, and holding the Dragon Person race's corrupted, fallen artifact.
"Ant."
Lukas glanced over,
and a violent beam of lightning directly crushed the helmeted undead spider.
"How troublesome, both lightning and fire are the Necromancer's bane."
Orochimaru, hiding in the shadows, licked his lips,
receiving the perspective captured by the undead spider and the residual death aura.
He secretly sighed at his bad luck.
It seemed like a tough battle.
Orochimaru's eyes flickered; he didn't go directly to the Dragon Person Palace but instead ran to the Dragon Person race's camp first.
Rumble.
Moments later, a violent explosion of corpses and a dense undead aura shot into the sky.
The Dragon Person camp, responsible for firing the Dragon Head Sculptures, was destroyed by Orochimaru's Skeleton Sea army; hundreds of Lv.19 skeletons self-destructed, their power comparable to a small nuclear bomb.
Amidst the shaking earth,
the Dragon Person Leader, Lukas, consumed by anger, had already charged over.
"Vicious invader, slaughtering my Dragon Person race's camp! Your sin is unforgivable; only lightning can cleanse it!"
Several lightning beams shot from the trident-shaped fallen artifact, heading straight for Orochimaru, who was hidden in the shadows.
Rocks exploded,
and Orochimaru, his aura concealed, narrowly dodged, smiling sinisterly, "A robe that can conceal aura, yet it can't fool the Dragon Person's perception. Is it smell, or some other ability?"
This purple-quality robe, [Cloak of Concealment], could completely hide one's aura.
Even for Orochimaru, who had a strong undead scent, the effect was excellent when worn.
He had relied on this robe
to constantly move between Konoha players and the Navy, but he didn't expect to be seen through by the Dragon Person Leader.
Should he say, as expected of a Two-Tier Lord?
"Die!"
Lukas let out a sharp dragon roar,
his entire body's blue dragon scales flared, and endless lightning spread in all directions, filling an area hundreds of meters wide with ring lightning arcs.
All the countless skeletons summoned by Orochimaru turned to ashes under the lightning.
"Damn it!"
Orochimaru frowned tightly,
and directly waved his Necromancer Staff; the bodies of two elite skeletons beside him instantly exploded, their shattered bones condensing into a massive bone shield.
Dead Spirit Bone Shield.
These two elite skeletons were worth five thousand reward points and lost their value after being transformed into a bone shield.
But at a critical moment, if they couldn't block the Dragon Person Leader's lightning halo, he might be directly killed by the ensuing consecutive attacks.
There was no room for heartache or hesitation.
"Despicable invader, is this all the strength you possess?"
Lukas, the Dragon Person Leader, looked at the small figure struggling to resist,
his eyes filled with brutality and mockery.
The Sky Tower itself was a structure created by the Apostle from the [Demon World], the Tyrant King whom the Revolutionary Army Leader had once seen, intended to block communication between the Heavenly Realm and Arad.
The monsters within it were guardians and slaughtering guards.
They were inherently very brutal.
Now, due to the Tyrant King's corruption by the polluted forces,
these monsters loyal to the Tyrant King had become even more bloodthirsty and cruel.
Orochimaru, having lost two elite skeletons, suddenly smiled sinisterly, licking the air like a snake, and said, "Indeed, race determines a life's intelligence and power."
"Just like the Dragon Person race, even if they shed their beastly identity, they remain laughably foolish."
Wisps of undead aura emanated from Orochimaru,
and suddenly,
the surrounding ground began to tremble; the previously destroyed Dragon Person camp also emitted undead aura.
It covered the battlefield like evaporating smoke.
"Destroying the Dragon Person camp was to vent anger?"
Orochimaru's hoarse voice slowly emerged from the undead smoke: "Such a foolish thought will be the cause of your death."
For him, who considered himself a life researcher,
failure was normal.
He would never lose his mind because of failure, nor would he ambush the Dragon Person camp to vent his anger just because he was scorched by the Dragon Head Sculptures.
He was setting up an undead array.
An array that could gather undead aura, purple quality, capable of greatly enhancing all four-dimensional attributes and the effects of undead-type skills.
"Dead Spirit Curse Snake!"
His skin burst like a balloon,
and a massive, mountain-like Dead Spirit Snake coiled in the center of the array, its scales densely covered with curses.
Its mere aura made the weak ordinary Dragon People unable to move.
"Is this your trump card, invader?"
Lukas was also shocked, his dragon palm holding the fallen artifact slightly numb.
In his perception,
although the invader in front of him could barely exert Two-Tier strength, his life tier and origin were very weak, maintaining a One-Tier level.
The difference between the two
was like light, airy cotton and steel; the former needed a massive amount of cotton to be continuously compressed to achieve the latter's hardness.
So Lukas had been fearless until just now,
but now,
Orochimaru's One-Tier life source, like cotton, with the aid of the undead array, could now be called massive.
In a pile of ruins,
Lukas was completely enveloped in lightning,
and the Two-Tier Lord skill [Lightning Ring] spread, with blue lightning carrying scorching and paralyzing effects, surging like a heavenly punishment.
He leaped high, holding the lightning trident, and stabbed towards the giant snake's viciously flicking head.
Dead Spirit Breath.
A cold and deathly aura emerged from Orochimaru's sinister golden pupils,
and it shook its head, slamming the incoming Lukas into the ground.
Then it opened its maw and exhaled a putrid and cold black mist, engulfing Lukas in the deep pit on the ground.
Lukas, hit by the breath,
his body continuously melted, as if immersed in a strong acid solution,
and his dragon scales, tough enough to break sword blades, gradually deformed, twisted, and finally turned into foul pus.
"Orochimaru, is he going to solo a Two-Tier Lord Monster?"
Outside the field,
all the players watching the live stream stared wide-eyed.
They were all shocked by Orochimaru's strength and the Necromancer's cunning and terrifying class power.
It was important to know that
the previous several Lord Monsters had required five top players from various major factions to team up and successfully defeat them.
Even then, there were several failures.
Yet Orochimaru, alone, was about to kill the Lord Monster that appeared in the Sky Sea.
Orochimaru's identity as the strongest player, which had never been fully acknowledged by all players, was now implicitly being accepted by the players watching the live stream.
