Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord - Chapter 83

83 Making An Overlord’s Death A Fact

“Oscar, you idiot! You can still make it if you run!” Ling Yun was livid.

If he had any strength left, he would have killed Oscar before he even considered talking to him.

After all, all the soldiers who died here could be resurrected by the enemy in this strange territory and become the enemy’s soldiers.

If they fought in enemy territory now, they would just be wrapping themselves up in beautiful bows and offering themselves to the enemy as gifts!

What Ling Yun could not tolerate the most was Oscar treating Shi Linglong as the Overlord of the territory. Was he really not a mole sent by the enemy?

!!
Ling Yun was so angry that he fainted. When he woke up, both he and Oscar were bound, just as he had expected.

“Tell us. What were you plotting when you opened the Dimensional Portal to this place?”

A gloomy atmosphere filled the Dark Castle. A little far away from Ling Yun and Oscar were two people and two creatures.

The two humans were women. Beside them were the Flower Fairy and a dragon.

Ling Yun and Oscar looked at each other before shaking their heads. They had already decided that they would not reveal any information.

When she saw their reaction, Su Wan was so enraged that she clenched her fists. She knew a little of what they were planning from Shi Linglong, but she needed more details.

Meanwhile, Shi Linglong thought that Su Wan’s interrogation method lacked an air of intimidation and was not threatening in the slightest. Hence, she walked over and kicked Oscar.

“Hmph! You villains! This is for coming after me! If you don’t tell me the truth now, I’m going to kill you!” Shi Linglong made herself appear fearsome.

However, her threat didn’t sound scary in the slightest. Instead, her cute appearance had the opposite reaction.

Xu Yuan could not help but make a sarcastic quip, “I think you should make yourself appear less classy and more aggressive…”

Shi Linglong was stunned and did not understand what he meant.

Xu Yuan flew to the two Overlords. He looked downward at Ling Yun and Oscar.

“Judging by your reactions, it seems you are very certain that if you die here, you will be resurrected through your Territory Core.” Xu Yuan knew exactly what they were thinking.

That was indeed what they believed! Overlords only faced true death when their Territory Core was destroyed!

So long as their Territory Cores remained intact, all they needed to do was to spend some resources after they were killed, and they would be resurrected in their own territories!

That was why they were so calm in the face of danger. They did not panic even after their capture.

It lasted until the dwarves on Xu Yuan’s side brought a Wolf Rider over. These were a few from among the enemy’s troops that he had not killed in battle. He had kept them alive for this very moment!

When the Wolf Rider was brought before him, Xu Yuan swung his tail and flung the black flames.

The Wolf Rider caught fire in an instant. The black flames surged. The Wolf Rider was in so much pain that it howled in agony. Gradually, the howls became a whimper and the Wolf Rider fell to the ground, reduced to ashes.

The two Overlords watched. Oscar couldn’t understand what this meant. He simply couldn’t understand what Xu Yuan wanted to prove.

However, Ling Yun’s face paled. His attribute panel showed him that the Wolf Rider had perished. He tried to resurrect the Wolf Rider, but he couldn’t. The Wolf Rider’s data wasn’t erased from the list of troop types, so Ling Yun knew that he hadn’t turned to the enemy’s side. Yet, its status showed that it had died permanently and couldn’t be revived at the Territory Core.

“How did you…?” Ling Yun trembled.

If this hero could kill the troops permanently, did it mean that he could kill the Overlords too? Although Ling Yun knew that this wasn’t uncommon, he was still in shock.

Overlords perished permanently in the Overlord Plane due to various reasons every year. They couldn’t be resurrected. Sometimes an enemy might kill them with a powerful spell or curse. Other times they might be killed by a divine item or a creature. These factors could destroy the safety net that the Overlord had and annihilate them permanently, despite the rule that protected these Overlords in the Overlord Plane.

Ling Yun opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say for a long time.

Su Wan and Shi Linglong found the situation hilarious. Xu Yuan had killed a Wolf Rider. It didn’t experience much pain and had been reduced to ashes in an instant. The two Overlords didn’t look like cowards who were afraid of death. They had been firm and unyielding just a moment ago.

Besides, an Overlord could always be resurrected at the Territory Core. So, why was it that the two Overlords looked terrified of a simple soldier’s death?

Su Wan could not understand it, and neither could Shi Linglong. Oscar was also absolutely baffled.

“Bah! Do you think you can scare me with that party trick?” Oscar was stubborn.

However, at that moment, Ling Yun spoke to Xu Yuan in a trembling voice. “No… Don’t… I’ll tell you.”

His companion had been incredibly headstrong just a few moments ago. However, Ling Yun turned spineless and threw in the towel!

“What’s the meaning of this? You’re submitting to them, Ling Yun?”

Oscar swayed. If it were not for the fact that his hands were bound, he might have slapped Ling Yun.

Ling Yun told them all that he knew. “We’re foreign members of the Dark Screen. Based on what the organization told us, the Inter-Campus Tournament is about to start.”

Xu Yuan listened to Ling Yun quietly.

“The Inter-Campus Tournament… Why is the organization so adamant on preventing the Inter-Campus Tournament from being launched?” Su Wan asked.

Ling Yun and Oscar had both spent all of their resources to open up the Dimensional Portal to travel here because they needed to set up a special array in this area in line with the organization’s orders.

They were to make the array encompass the entire region. But they did not know what the array was for either.

“Our higher-ups just told us to set up the array. The organization will then make use of the array during the Inter-Campus Tournament.”

‘The organization will use it?’

They did not know what use the array had either. They just knew that the higher-ups were really secretive about it.

“We’re just foreign members. We know very little.” Ling Yun seemed to have given up on resisting. He told them everything he knew.

The Dark Screen was divided into two types of members. The first group was made up of the real Dark Screen members. They were native creatures of the world. The other group was made up of foreign members like Ling Yun and Oscar. They were people of another world and decided to work together with Dark Screen for various reasons.
