Virus King - Chapter 387

Chapter 387: Dragon Language Magic and Forbidden Spells Prerequisite!

TL: YYang

This was just a piece.

It was only a relatively slender piece of foreleg meat from the dragon.

However, dragons were inherently massive creatures, and who knew what tier this dragon belonged to. But since it could serve as food for Winifred, it was obviously extraordinary.

Most importantly, Chen Bai had long wanted to try using the Darklight Virus to devour dragon flesh and see how it felt!

Although its appearance was quite unappetizing, and the look on Old Third’s face resembled that of someone poisoned, Chen Bai still nodded with excitement:

“For the sake of our friendship!”

However, Old Seven clearly wasn’t about to let him off that easily. Its massive amber eyes blinked, filled with joy and anticipation:

“Hurry and give it a try…”

Give it a try…

Chen Bai glanced at the pitch-black dragon corpse. The chunk of meat torn from it was still dripping with blood. Meanwhile, Old Third, the cranky one, was looking on with a schadenfreude-filled gaze. Chen Bai swallowed hard.

Then, he decisively stretched out his arm. A dark tendril pierced through the meat in an instant, completely enveloping it with the Darklight Virus. The virus could devour any biological matter—if it could consume the even larger Mutant Golden Anaconda before, this chunk of dragon flesh was naturally no problem.

Although Old Seven looked a bit startled by Chen Bai’s method of consumption, its expectant gaze remained fixed on him as it watched the black-red tendrils wriggle and digest.

Before long, the chunk of dragon flesh was completely devoured by the Darklight Virus.

At the same time, a feedback message appeared in Chen Bai’s mind:

[Devoured Special Creature: ‘Adult White Dragon.’ Obtained Exclusive Darklight Virus Evolution Points: 1500 points!]

[Devoured Special Creature: ‘Adult White Dragon.’ Acquired Skill: Ice Age (Special Skill)!]

[Devoured Special Creature: ‘Adult White Dragon.’ The Darklight Virus has gained notable growth! Additional Spirit Recovery Speed: +100%!]

[Devoured Special Creature: ‘Adult White Dragon.’ Extract its bloodline to fuse into your body, or expel it?]

Hiss!?

Even though Chen Bai had anticipated some results, he still couldn’t help but gasp sharply.

As expected, it was an adult dragon, likely a terrifying legendary creature with a level of at least 70 or above.

Indeed, this Nine-Headed Hydra was a true brother!

What surprised Chen Bai even more was that after devouring the White Dragon, he actually gained a rare skill?!

Instinctively, he looked at the skill that had appeared in his mind:

[Ice Age (A-Rank)]

[Special Skill – Dragon Language Magic]

[Activate your mental strength to abruptly lower the temperature of the surroundings, invoking a glacial descent! All creatures in the area will experience a reduction in all attributes and receive corresponding debuffs! The specific effects depend on your mental strength. Duration: Ten minutes. Cooldown: Three hours!]

[Note: This skill is Dragon Language Magic. Using ancient dragon language greatly enhances its effect!]

[Note 2: This skill is a prerequisite for the Dragon Language Forbidden Spell ‘Frostwing Descent – Frozen Roar (SSS)!]

Hmm!?

Initially, Chen Bai thought little of it when he saw it was just an A-Rank skill and wasn’t planning to give it much attention. But now, it seemed highly intriguing!

A forbidden spell was an ability so taboo that even gods couldn’t easily cast it—it represented a truly forbidden level of skill!

At present, Chen Bai possessed several SSS-Rank equipment treasures born of Authority, but absolutely none of them were SSS-Rank skills.

In fact, he barely had anything even at SS-Rank.

Of course, strictly speaking, profession and talent skills might reach this tier, but those weren’t graded by rank.

In terms of truly advanced skills, Chen Bai was sorely lacking.

Now, it seemed he had stumbled upon one!

The Dragon Language Forbidden Spell, Frostwing Descent…

If so, didn’t that mean the Ancient Dragon Language he had obtained earlier from consuming the Dragon-Patterned Spirit Fruit now had a real use?

Chen Bai opened his eyes in delight and saw Old Seven’s expectant gaze:

“How is it?”

“What do you mean ‘how is it’? Old Seven, it’s bad enough when you recite pretentious poetry. Do you really expect me to eat this thing? Just toss it!” Old Third interjected.

Chen Bai ignored the foul-mouthed serpent and nodded:

“Not bad!”

The Darklight Virus devouring process didn’t involve taste, but Chen Bai had to admit, the rewards from devouring this White Dragon were impressive!

However, it was evident that Old Seven wasn’t about to let Old Third’s taunts slide. Its massive eyes blinked again:

“What’s so ‘not bad’ about it?”

“…”

Chen Bai pursed his lips before finally replying:

“If you crank up the flames, it’ll roast the dragon scales to a crisp but won’t make them tough to chew. With high heat, the White Dragon will retain its chill and the truest flavor of dragon meat, reminding me of some grilled sashimi techniques from Blue Star! The springy texture of the meat pairs perfectly with the oil rendered from roasting!”

Upon hearing this, Old Seven burst into laughter:

“My dear Overlord, only you could appreciate my cooking! To even recognize this as White Dragon meat—impressive, impressive!”

On the side, Old Third watched this man-serpent duo harmonizing and suspiciously glanced at the charred White Dragon roast again before hesitantly biting into it once more.

“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”

This time was even worse than before. Old Third spat fervently and cursed:

“Damn it, you two lunatics! Are you even normal? How can anyone eat this crap?”

But soon, Old Third glanced at Chen Bai with a complicated expression. Flicking out its forked tongue, charged with lightning, it mimicked giving a thumbs-up:

“Impressive. You really are no ordinary being. Forget everything else—being able to say that nonsense with a straight face? I’ll admit, I’m impressed!”

Chen Bai pursed his lips, feeling as though his very soul had been violated.

“Damn it, I didn’t even get a good fight in this time before that world’s Cosmic Will forcibly sent me back. So frustrating! Alright, I’m off to sleep. Wake me up if there’s another fight!”

Old Third, seemingly fresh from a battle and bitter about unfair treatment, grumbled as it coiled its massive, lightning-clad serpent body. With a shake of its head, it drifted off into the void, closing its eyes.

Chen Bai sighed. After a moment’s thought, he waved reluctantly at Old Seven before leaving the 350th Layer of the Abyss.
