"Student Chen Xu, this bone dragon of yours is truly extraordinary! To be able to freeze such a vast area in one breath... and its size seems much larger than the rumors suggested."
Mo Zijiang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as he watched Sindragosa effortlessly wipe out a large swathe of the sea race.
The frozen zone created by the breath was still steadily spreading across the sea.
Many sea race creatures that were too slow to escape were overtaken by the frost, unable to flee their icy deaths.
"City Lord Mo, a regular Undead Bone Dragon might not have this kind of power, but Sindragosa is no ordinary bone dragon. It is the King of the Brood."
"Roar—"
"King of the Brood?"
After clearing the seven dungeons in Mohai, the level of 【Summon Undead Bone Dragon】 had reached level 10, unlocking its first talent enhancement.
Unlike lower-tier summoning skills, high-tier summoning skills no longer offered a choice of various enhancement affixes. Instead, they evolved into a different kind of enhancement that was simpler, more direct, and far more brutal.
【Summon Undead Bone Dragon (Level 10+4): Use the remains of a dragon to transform it into a powerful Undead Bone Dragon. King of the Brood: Sindragosa. (Total number of Undead Bone Dragons: 51)】
【Undead Bone Dragon has reached Level 10. The 996 talent has been triggered, granting the effect: Board of Directors Appointment (Your recent performance has been outstanding. The board has decided to appoint you as the CEO of the Bone Dragon Brood!), obtaining a special enhancement: King of the Brood.】
【King of the Brood: Select one Undead Bone Dragon and sublimate it into the King of the Brood. The King of the Brood obtains the following effects:】
【1. King's Power: A king is no mere mortal. The King of the Brood will obtain a special template and possess special skills.】
【2. Brood Power: The king protects the brood, and the brood serves its king. Obtains a percentage increase in strength based on the size of the brood.】
As Chen Xu's first bone dragon, Sindragosa was clearly the favorite. Chen Xu had chosen to sublimate Sindragosa into the King of the Brood without a moment's hesitation.
The first effect of being the King of the Brood directly granted Sindragosa a skill template similar to that of a skeleton hero.
【King of the Brood: Sindragosa (Legendary)】
【Skills: Majesty of the King, Mercy of the King, Will of the King, Frozen Throne, Brood Power】
【Majesty of the King: The majesty of a king is as vast as the heavens. When facing enemies of a lower rank than itself, the damage dealt is significantly increased. The greater the rank difference, the higher the damage boost. When facing enemies of a higher rank than itself, the damage received is slightly reduced. The greater the rank difference, the lower the damage reduction.】
【Mercy of the King: The mercy of a king falls silently like dew. While the king is present, the damage taken by the brood is reduced, and their recovery capabilities are increased.】
【Will of the King: The will of a king is as solid as a rock. As long as the brood is not extinct, the king ignores all crowd control skills.】
【Frozen Throne: Erects a Frozen Throne within the king's territory (Everfrost Dragon Territory) to receive the offerings of its kin. The Frozen Throne greatly amplifies frost-attribute power.】
【Brood Power: Obtains a percentage increase in strength based on the size of the brood. Current all-attribute increase: 0.5%.】
The buffs from being the King of the Brood provided a comprehensive enhancement in every aspect.
Majesty of the King enhanced its ability to crush weaker foes. As for facing higher-ranked enemies, Chen Xu felt the small amount of damage reduction wasn't particularly significant.
Mercy of the King increased the durability and recovery of the bone dragon army. Bone dragons hadn't been particularly outstanding in terms of defense originally, but with this buff, Chen Xu wondered if their defensive capabilities might now rival those of a golden dragon.
And Will of the King was an exceptionally dominant control-immunity skill. As long as a single bone dragon remained alive, Sindragosa could not be controlled by any skill.
He just didn't know if this King's Power would still be effective against even higher-tier powers.
For instance, would it grant immunity to the imprisonment of a god? Or the binding of an Eternal Singular?
Furthermore, the Frozen Throne and Brood Power were the reasons why a single breath from Sindragosa could freeze such a vast expanse of the sea.
"City Lord Mo, are those two over there high-level nagas?"
Just as Sindragosa was about to continue unleashing its Frost Breath toward the sea, a mental control spell shot out and struck it, though the effect was instantly negated.
Chen Xu had keenly captured the direction of the spell. Extending his mental strength, he discovered two tall nagas adorned with various ornaments.
Mo Zijiang pulled out a pair of specially made small binoculars and looked in the direction Chen Xu indicated.
"You're right, those are high-level nagas. Every time the sea race attacks our defense line, there are always two or three high-level nagas or merfolk in the rear.
However, in the past, there was usually at least one of each. I wonder why there are two nagas today."
"We'll know once we catch them and ask."
"They're not easy to catch. Nagas are incredibly fast in the water, and they always come in pairs just in case. If one of them is captured, the other will pull out a strange item and trigger a massive explosion.
We tried to design a capture operation before, but we ended up suffering heavy losses because of that explosion."
It wasn't that Mo Zijiang hadn't thought about capturing these high-level nagas or merfolk to investigate the cause of the sea race's strange movements.
But all previous capture attempts had failed. When they sought help from the higher-ups in Daxia, it happened to coincide with the Great Dungeon Clearing Campaign. Daxia's focus was entirely on dungeon progression, so they couldn't provide support.
"It's fine, let's give it a try. There's nothing to lose anyway. Sindragosa, aim for those two nagas. Full power Frost Breath! Remember, freeze them, but don't kill them!"
"Roar—"
Sindragosa flapped its wings and flew toward the two high-level nagas in the distance. At the same time, frost power began to rapidly accumulate in its maw.
Seeing Sindragosa flying toward them, the two nagas immediately dove underwater and swam toward the deep sea.
As soon as they entered the water, Sindragosa released its Frost Breath downward. The dense frost power spread rapidly upon contact with the seawater, quickly catching up to the nagas.
The extreme cold slowed the nagas' swimming speed significantly. Just as they were about to be overtaken, one of the nagas pulled out a shard, intending to detonate it.
Unexpectedly, a tail slammed heavily into its body, knocking the shard away and sending the naga spiraling into the spreading frost, where it was instantly encased in ice.
"Stupid Saji. I, Mulaka, am not like those fools who are willing to submit to that tyrant."
Using the recoil from the strike, Mulaka quickly widened the gap and escaped the range of the spreading frost.
Sensing that the frost behind was no longer expanding, Mulaka looked back at Saji, who was frozen in the ice.
"Heh."
Seeing the look of utter confusion in Saji's eyes, Mulaka let out a contemptuous laugh and turned to leave.
But as it turned around, a group of bone dragons had appeared in the water at some unknown point.
Mulaka froze in place, looking completely terrified.
Seeing the frost power gathering in the mouths of the bone dragons, Mulaka immediately shouted.
"I surrender! I surrender!"
At the same time, it crossed its hands over its abdomen and curled its tail up over its hands.
"Oh? Interesting. We have a defector."
Chen Xu didn't trust this sea race creature. He had the bone dragons in the water move closer and unleash their breath, sealing it in ice.
Then, Sindragosa grabbed it.
As for the other bone dragons, they pushed the massive iceberg in the water back toward the coastal defense line.
"47, 48, 49, 50... Student Chen Xu, you actually have fifty bone dragons!"
Mo Zijiang counted the bone dragons below on his fingers, and the final number left him deeply shocked.
Fifty legendary creatures—this was more defensive power than most cities in Daxia possessed.
Before Chen Xu could respond, Sindragosa turned its head and snorted, blowing a puff of air all over Mo Zijiang.
Realizing his mistake, Mo Zijiang patted his head. "Right, right, and you. Fifty-one bone dragons. Even without counting your skeletons, this strength is already greater than my Linghai Defense Force. Truly, heroes emerge from the youth!"
"Hahaha, you flatter me."
