I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 252 - 178: Illusory Black Dragon (Double - )

...

At this moment, Rogel had already regrouped with Lina and the others.

"Alright, you can stop running now. I've managed to lure those guys away."

Upon hearing his words, everyone came to a halt.

Noemi was a bit curious, "How did you manage to lure them away?"

Rogel chuckled but didn't say anything.

The starry parasite holding the egg answered everyone's doubts.

"They're coming after us!" Noemi quickly raised her bow and arrow.

"It's one of us! Don't shoot!"

Rogel hastily stopped Noemi, who was about to shoot.

Lina and the others realized that it seemed Rogel had some special ability to control monsters.

Lina leaned in to look at the egg, "What kind of egg is this? Do you plan to hatch it?"

Hearing this, Rogel started pondering.

He had stolen this thing simply because those starry parasites seemed to treasure it greatly.

"Never mind, let's keep it for now."

Rogel shrugged and tossed it into the item inventory. If things didn't work out, he could always let Heisatan eat it; there was no loss in any case.

After settling the fate of the egg, Rogel and the others looked toward the high tower ahead.

The tower appeared to be perfectly normal to them.

"It seems we've come to the right place."

Rogel and the others proceeded toward the tower.

However, as they approached,

they gradually discovered that everything in their sight was starting to become bizarre.

If initially, the impact of the black fog rule on their vision was just to move objects' positions or states,

now, the black fog rule was completely twisting the world in their eyes!

Rogel clearly saw that the originally flat ground ahead had now turned into the shape of an "eight," and the surrounding black stone pillars seemed to be smashed and thrown haphazardly into their sight.

The original high tower also began to distort and change.

"No, the influence is getting bigger and bigger!"

Rogel halted his steps.

The high tower in front of them definitely had a big problem!

Rumble!

Just as Rogel and the others stopped in their tracks, a loud noise reached their ears.

Then, a shocking scene unfolded.

The high tower before them started to slowly change, ultimately transforming into a four-winged black dragon embracing a high platform.

After reverting to its dragon form, it spread out its four wings and slowly opened its vertical pupils.

As its eyes opened, Rogel and the others could clearly feel that the world in their eyes had returned to normal.

"The tower turned into a dragon!" Noemi shook her head, "The illusion here is getting more severe."

She thought it was the black fog rule affecting her.

However, Rogel clearly recognized that the giant dragon before them was absolutely real.

[Illusory Black Dragon — Uvie Muzhe (Dying)]

[Type: Giant Dragon]

[Quality: Dominator]

[Level: ?]

[Tier: ?]

[Explanation: A black giant dragon with partial authority power over illusion and reality, Uvie Muzhe was assigned to protect this Starry Dragon City but is now on the brink of death.]

A Guardian of the Starry Dragon City, a dominator level creature!

And its tier is [Unknown], which means it is at least above the [Deputy] level!

After opening its eyes, Uvie Muzhe slowly spread its four wings and stretched its massive limbs to land on the ground.

It looked very weak, not even letting out a dragon roar upon seeing people in front of it.

Rogel, having transformed into a giant dragon before, knew that normally when a dragon made an appearance, it would most likely roar to show its might and also intimidate its enemies.

But Uvie Muzhe appeared to be extremely weak, even its actions were quiet and gentle.

As Uvie Muzhe gradually unfolded its body, Rogel seemed to understand the reason for its weakness.

Uvie Muzhe's entire black body was surprisingly divided into two different regions.

Its left half was a transparent, illusory starry sky, while its right half was a pure black dragon body.

This was also reflected in its face.

It seemed to have been corroded by something!

Everyone was deeply shocked by this scene.

"...Captain, should we run?"

Noemi softly asked behind Rogel.

Before Rogel could respond,

a glimmer appeared in Uvie Muzhe's eyes, and with this motion, Lina and the others suddenly vanished.

Rogel frowned at this.

"...Don't worry, they are very safe. This is just for the convenience of our communication."

"...Thank you for coming, fellow..."

Upon hearing it speak, Rogel immediately used the dragon transformation skill to transform his ears, allowing him to understand the Dragon Language.

This change required only a small amount of the Power of the Giant Dragon, and he had recovered some along the way.

After hearing this sentence, Rogel breathed a sigh of relief.

This Uvie Muzhe looked very formidable; if it harbored any hostility toward them, he could only passively reload his save.

Fortunately, that didn't seem to be the case.

"...Sir, I'm merely a human who coincidentally obtained a Giant Dragon Bloodline..."

Rogel said truthfully.

He figured that even if he didn't say it, Uvie Muzhe would have figured it out.

In response, Uvie Muzhe remained calm and nodded slightly, "I know."

"..."

After speaking, a hint of illusory starry color appeared in Uvie Muzhe's eyes as it fell silent for a moment.

Accompanying its silence, Rogel's vision started to get affected again, becoming bizarre and chaotic.

Seeing it not speaking, Rogel pondered for a moment then asked, "Sir, is there anything you need me for?"

Hearing this, Uvie Muzhe's eyes slowly grew clearer.

"...Apologies, after being polluted, it's not easy for me to stay conscious..."

"Polluted?" Rogel asked, surprised.

"Yes..." Uvie Muzhe nodded, then fell into a confused state once more.

Seeing this, Rogel had to rouse it again.

"...Sorry, in this state, I can't talk much..."

Uvie Muzhe apologized before transforming into a palm-sized, ink-black, cube-like black stone right in front of Rogel.

A dragon's eye opened on the black stone.

"What's your name?"

In this state, Uvie Muzhe seemed to be in a slightly better condition, with much less confusion in its voice.

"Rogel."

Upon hearing Rogel's response, Uvie Muzhe seemed to fall into silence.

Rogel thought it might have fallen into chaos again, so he called out once more.

But Uvie Muzhe was not in chaos; instead, it repeated to itself.

"Rogel..."

After a moment of pause, Uvie Muzhe unexpectedly sighed and said something inexplicable.

"Old thing..."

After saying this, Uvie Muzhe's attitude towards Rogel changed.

The previously indifferent tone now became serious.

"Rogel, since you've come here, there are two things I would like to ask of you."

Rogel nodded, "Go ahead."

Without hesitation, Uvie Muzhe, in its cube form, unleashed a force toward the original location of the high tower.

With the influence of this energy,

a giant dragon claw holding a dragon egg appeared before Rogel.

This dragon egg was pure white, with smooth, incredibly hard scales that exuded vibrant life force.

It seemed to be a dragon egg Uvie Muzhe deliberately hid.

[Dragon Egg on the Verge of Hatching]

[Type: Creature]

[Quality: Red]

[Explanation: A dragon egg of a pure-blooded giant dragon, containing an extremely strong life force and is about to hatch.]

"I need you to take me and this dragon egg away from here."

Uvie Muzhe spoke with a serious tone.

What?

Hearing this, Rogel was a bit puzzled.

Asking him to take the dragon egg, he could understand it as entrusting a heritage.

But why was Uvie Muzhe asking him to take it too?

Aren't you dying?

Seeing Rogel's confusion, Uvie Muzhe spoke again, "Take me away from here, and I will offer you assistance."
