Chapter 98: The Forbidden Spell in Hand

Within a dark and silent corner.

Using the route provided by the system, along with the dragon language incantations,

Gunie began the process of opening the five-layered stone seal.

These dragon language incantations were all granted to Gunie by the system, used to open the sealed stone door; Gunie only needed to follow the pattern.

However, Gunie would not miss such a good opportunity to learn the dragon language incantations.

For the syllables and detailed annotations of the dragon language incantations, Gunie studied and comprehended them meticulously, pondering over them until he confirmed he had fully learned them before reciting the incantation to open the stone door.

Including the dragon language incantations previously bestowed by the system, Gunie had also deeply engraved them all in the depths of his memory.

Although Gunie's memory could not compare to scholars' 'Memory Palace,' where a single glance meant eternal remembrance,

after repeated deliberation and thorough understanding, Gunie could also completely memorize them in his mind.

About three hours later,

Gunie had fully learned and memorized all the dragon language incantations for the five-layered sealed stone door.

At the same time, all five layers of the stone door were opened by Gunie.

As the last layer of the stone door was opened,

a 'contract stone' the size of Gunie's palm, emitting a faint white light with a slight curve, floated quietly before Gunie's eyes.

After scanning the contract stone and the restraining formation beneath it, Gunie understood why this dragon clan forbidden spell contract stone was placed here.

The restraining formation within this contract space supplied energy to the contract stone on one hand, allowing it to be continuously passed down.

On the other hand, the contract stone was also completely restrained here by this restraining formation.

Moreover, the energy was supplied separately, and the energy channel was not connected to the external altar.

'Truly a most exquisite treasure.'

Gunie sighed softly.

Stepping forward, Gunie used the demon's soul to condense a catalyst channel to receive the inheritance of the powerful dragon clan forbidden spell.

As the catalyst was received, a thick force slowly seeped through the contract stone into the depths of Gunie's soul and memory.

The inheritance time was not long, about five minutes. Under the effect of the powerful demon secondary soul,

Gunie perfectly inherited this powerful dragon clan forbidden spell tome.

Then, Gunie began to sit cross-legged, carefully understanding and digesting this dragon clan forbidden spell.

Gunie sat in meditation for a full two to three hours.

…

'Hoo…'

After fully understanding the effect of this powerful forbidden spell tome, Gunie slowly opened his eyes.

'Truly a supreme forbidden spell tome.' Gunie sighed softly.

This dragon clan forbidden spell tome was a 'Dragon Language Forbidden Spell.'

That is, a forbidden spell that could only be cast using the dragon language.

In fact, this 'Dragon Language Forbidden Spell' tome was not created by the dragon clan of the Oya Continent; it was transmitted from a more powerful supernatural world.

Through catalyst inheritance, Gunie could perfectly master the inherited dragon language incantations and thus complete the release.

Its name: 'True Scale · Armor Guardian.'

It was a defensive type 'initial-level forbidden spell.'

The dragon language syllables were 21, converted to 'Lanemi language' that was 42 syllables.

Fortunately, the 'Secret Crossing Rune' was essentially a form of rune expression.

It also had an effect on dragon language incantations.

Similarly, acceleration runes and amplification runes were effective on it.

Incantation syllables: 42 (Lanemi language).

Source power consumption: 100.

It seemed Gunie could completely release it.

But this was just paper data.

In fact, given Gunie's current soul state, he could not withstand the release of a powerful spell at the forbidden spell level.

At the very least, a caster of the Grandmaster level was needed to withstand the release of a forbidden spell without injury.

Fortunately, Gune possessed the powerful secondary soul of a fifth-order peak Demon Lord.

Gune estimated that, even while bearing injuries, the Demon Lord's soul could still release this forbidden spell.

And as for injury, did that pose a problem for the Demon Lord's soul?

Not to mention injury—even if half of it were annihilated, it could recover after a period of cultivation. Moreover, devouring some souls could speed up its recovery.

The benefits of such a powerful secondary soul as the Demon Lord were not trivial.

Thus, for Gune, as long as the Demon Lord's secondary soul was in good condition, this powerful forbidden spell could be fully released.

"Forty-two syllables; my own Secret Crossing runes plus the Witch-Death Staff total exactly eighteen syllables."

"That means it will take six seconds for me to complete the release of 'True Scale · Armor of Protection.'"

"Among them, repeatable syllables can gradually strengthen 'True Scale · Armor of Protection.'"

"That will require more soul-bearing capacity and source power consumption, plus more time."

Currently, Gune possessed fourteen basic Secret Crossing runes.

After advancing to the fourth rank, Gune could condense more.

However, one of Gune's goals in entering the ocean this time was to inherit the "Demonization Rune."

Gune was not sure whether the "Demonization Rune" would require soul-bearing.

Therefore, Gune dared not exhaust all his soul-bearing capacity now by condensing Secret Crossing runes.

If condensing the "Demonization Rune" required soul-bearing, that would be quite troublesome.

After opening the system and carefully checking that he had left nothing out,

Gune finally stood up.

"With a forbidden spell in hand, though only one chance to release it,"

"But... this forbidden spell can not only withstand attacks from various incantations and even transcendent martial skills, but also weaken the vast majority of soul attacks, and has extremely strong resistance against all kinds of sealing, binding, and locking incantations."

"In summary, while holding up the shield and enduring the attacks of the Daughter of the Evil God and several others, I can completely let loose and attack freely."

Although he could do this, Gune certainly would not do so unless it was a critical moment.

Such a powerful trump card was naturally best kept unused if possible.

George and the Dragon Slayer Siegfried both had plenty of tricks; Gune had no need to stick his neck out first.

Standing up, Gune's gaze fell upon the single "Contract Stone" within the sealing array.

After thinking it over, Gune ultimately gave up the idea of using the system space to collect this "Contract Stone."

If he took it, this place would lose a precious forbidden spell inheritance site.

Although he did not take the Contract Stone,

Gune would not let just anyone come in to receive the inheritance.

When leaving, Gune gradually resealed the five layers of stone walls one by one.

These opening incantations were firmly etched in Gune's mind; he could come back to open them anytime.

"In the future, when I am strong enough, I could capture some powerful dragons and set up a dragon nest farm here in this Dragon Burial Ground, preferably raising 'Blood Dragons,' then channel the blood water from the Netherworld Blood Sea into this place, so that those Blood Dragons can grow at an extremely fast rate, and by absorbing the blood water from the Netherworld Blood Sea, they can recover quickly when being bled."

"With abundant and powerful dragon blood, I can use stronger dragon blood combined with 'Essence Life Spring Water' to refine higher-level secret pattern potions that can transform the soul and flesh to the 'Leader Level.'"

"I wonder when I will have such strength and means." Gune mused inwardly.

...

Half an hour later, Gune silently arrived at the intersection outside the altar.

At this moment, the Daughter of the Evil God and the others had used the energy from the altar to construct an energy barrier enveloping the top of the altar.

That spherical energy barrier, emitting a milky white luster, shone brightly, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Using Eagle Eye, Gune could see clearly that only the Daughter of the Evil God was on the altar.

That meant the other four were hiding nearby.

If Gune and the others dared to approach, they would surely be surrounded and attacked directly.

Gune did not rush over.

After observing with the Eye of Fate, Gune found George and the Dragon Slayer Siegfried hidden in a corner.

At this moment, those two fellows were anxiously gazing at the distant altar.

"You ran pretty fast earlier, but now being trapped in a dead end doesn't feel too good, does it!" Gune thought as he looked at the two.
