Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1173  Void Tunnel (Part 1)

The Dragon Islands consist of hundreds of floating islands in the middle of the Boundless Ocean, each island tailored to the needs of different dragons. For example, the island where the Fire Dragons live resembles a volcanic region, filled with fire-type plants and materials. The island where Crystal Dragons reside is akin to a mining area, abundant with crystal-like resources, and so on.

The Dragon Islands is divided into three parts: the outer area, the inner area, and the central area, with the outer and inner areas consisting of many islands.

However, unlike the outer and inner areas, there is just one single island in the Central Area of the Dragon Islands. This island is where Eldrakar and other Void Dragons reside.

From the outside, the central island looks like a small floating city in the middle of the ocean, around fifty square kilometres in diameter, but from the inside, this small island is nearly a hundred times the size of Earth, revealing the power of space magic.

At this moment, a few hundred kilometers deep underground in the Central Island, a moist cave with green moss growing all over trembled slightly.

A small altar located in the corner of the cave lit up with silver light, and space fluctuations filled the entire cave. The moment the space fluctuations appeared, tens of different kinds of runes and a black aura, which seemed like someone's shadow covered the walls of the cave, isolating the space fluctuations from spreading outside and alerting anyone.

The silver light around the altar grew brighter and brighter, and a few seconds later, a woman, clad in a long black dress with raven-black hair appeared there.

Anastasia stepped out of the glowing altar, and the moment her feet touched the floor of the cave, a few more runes lit up, causing all the moisture and the moss within the cave to vanish instantly.

Anastasia looked at the clean cave made of polished stone and nodded her head in satisfaction.

"As I thought. Those morons still don't know about this place..." She muttered under her breath, her gaze turning towards the black aura that covered all the cave walls.

"It's good that I used my blood essence and some of my scales to create this formation. Otherwise, with the cunning nature of those bastards, I am afraid they would have found this place long ago."

As Anastasia spoke, she once again used the token she had employed to activate the teleportation altar on the sea island.

When she used the token, a holographic map of the Dragon Islands appeared once again in front of her eyes.

"Hehe... Since they don't know about the existence of my token, it is still connected with the core of the Dragon Islands after all these years..." Anastasia smiled happily once the map of the Dragon Islands appeared in front of her, and when she zoomed in on the central island where she was, she could see some Void Dragons lounging around or playing as if she were watching a live broadcast.

The Dragon Islands are a perfect example of a place created through a mix of magic and technology. Other than the formation masters, rune masters, blacksmiths, and other professionals who constructed the structure of the Dragon Islands, the core of the islands was created by the Mechadroids, connecting all the islands with each other and at the same time, equipping them with high-level weapons such as plasma cannons and so on.

"Hmm... It seems like there aren't any high-level dragons on the central island for the time being..." Anastasia said to herself after searching all over the central island.

Just when she thought it wouldn't be difficult for her to complete her task because of the absence of high-level dragons, she noticed a man with two horns on top of his head, green gem-like eyes, and deep purple scales covering the lower part of his face flying towards a mountain range located in the outer areas of the central island.

"A Rank Four Void Dragon... Did this guy just enter the central island?" Anastasia raised an eyebrow when she noticed the man through the holographic map, as she hadn't spotted him on the central island during her previous search.

The man soon reached the mountain range located in the outer area and stopped in front of it.

"Lord Zalthorak," Drazen, the man with dragon horns spoke while bowing in front of the mountain range.

"Zalthorak..." Anastasia's eyes narrowed when she heard the name, and the image of a giant purple dragon flashed in her mind.

Rumble!

As the image of the dragon flashed within her mind, the mountain range Drazen was bowing to began to tremble, and the next moment, a dragon's head, tens of kilometres in diameter, poked out from behind it, looking at Drazen with its cold deep blue eyes.

"I see... So these people made some areas of the Dragon Islands into their own personal territory, where I can't spy even by using the core of the Dragon Islands..." Anastasia muttered to herself, finally realizing why she hadn't found any high-level dragons earlier.

It wasn't that there wasn't even a single high-level dragon on the Dragon Islands, but rather that most of the high-level dragons had turned small parts of the central island into their own territories, where no one could spy on them.

'Damn, my token has the highest level of authority that allows me to control most of the formations installed all over the Dragon Islands, but it seems they replaced some of the old formations with new ones, and the formations these high-level dragons are using to hide from me are one of them...' Anastasia thought with a shake of her head, narrowing her eyes, her gaze falling on the giant dragon's head.

"This old geezer actually broke through to mid-level Rank Six from beginner-level Rank Six in the last few thousand years."

"How is everything going?" Zalthorak, the mid-level Rank Six dragon asked in a cold voice, unaware he was being monitored by Anastasia.

"If nothing unusual happens, we should be able to open the void tunnel within three or four months," Drazen responded respectfully, his tone cautious as he addressed Zalthorak.

'Void tunnel...' Anastasia raised an eyebrow upon hearing their conversation, unsure of what they were referring to.

But when she heard Zalthorak's next words, her expression darkened, and a cold gleam of killing intent flashed in her eyes.

"Three months is too long. Open the void tunnel within the next few days. I don't care how many resources it takes, but I want you to open that void tunnel in the next five days and rescue His Majesty Eldrakar."
