CHAPTER 1532: CHAPTER 777: DRAGON SORCERY WRAITH AND THE DRAGON CULT (PART 2)

The dragon’s eye position flickers with a piercing crimson glow. Whoever it lands on is involuntarily enveloped by a terrifying cold energy, penetrating directly into the soul, paralyzing them completely in place.

The Dragon Sorcery Wraith, as the name implies, is a lich transformed from a Giant Dragon. It retains most of the Giant Dragon’s abilities while possessing some special abilities of a lich, such as controlling undead creatures, terrifying aura, paralyzing gaze, paralyzing touch, undead creature traits, super strong spell resistance, partial immunity, and so on.

This allows them to significantly increase in combat power despite not having much change in Life Dice.

Speaking of Dragon Sorcery Wraiths, one must mention the Dragon Sorcery Sect, also known as the Dragon Cult, founded by Samaster.

He was an outstanding genius mage of the same era as the Archmage Irminster. He was not only once the Chosen of the Magic Goddess Mistela but also the lover of Elashtor, one of the Seven Sisters. However, it wasn’t long before the two parted ways due to incompatible personalities, which was seen as the trigger for this extremely temperamental genius to abandon the embrace of the Magic Goddess and turn to the embrace of the undead.

This genius mage prophesied that the Felen Continent would ultimately be ruled by intelligent Undead Giant Dragons. So, after years of dedicated research, he created the Draconomicon, a magnificent tome recording the method of transforming Giant Dragons into Dragon Sorcery Wraiths.

Those cultists who followed him formed a religious organization, calling themselves the Dragon Cult.

Because they worship Giant Dragons, especially malevolent dragons, particularly undead malevolent dragons.

This church is dedicated to persuading the malevolent Chromatic Dragons on the Felen Continent to transform into Dragon Sorcery Wraiths and become a part of the Dragon Sorcery Sect.

However, the progress of this endeavor has been quite unsatisfactory.

The wise creatures who choose to become liches often do so as a last resort.

Their lives, spanning a hundred or even several hundred years, will come to an end in an instant, and in the absence of other life-extending methods, they can only transform themselves into liches.

But this is not the case for Giant Dragons. As long as they are not killed, they have at least two thousand years of life. Death is a very distant thing for them.

Becoming a Dragon Sorcery Wraith would indeed grant these Giant Dragons immense power in a short time, but for those Giant Dragons who haven’t aged to the ancient stage, it means giving up the normal growth process of being a Giant Dragon.

This is not worth the loss for those mature Giant Dragons.

After all, the transformation of most undead is closely related to their power before death. You can’t expect an ordinary person to transform into an Undead Knight or banshee, and Dragon Sorcery Wraiths are no exception.

A Dragon Sorcery Wraith transformed from an adult Giant Dragon is definitely not on the same level as one transformed from an ancient Giant Dragon.

Once transformed into an undead state, it means giving up most emotions, which is not something that most Giant Dragons can accept.

Only those ancient Giant Dragons already on the verge of death or those with special cases would consider transforming themselves into Dragon Sorcery Wraiths.

So, the Giant Dragons that currently form the Dragon Cult, Dragon Sorcery Wraiths are only a small part; most dragons are still in their biological state. They mostly use deceptive lies to gain the servitude and tribute from those Dragon Cult cultists, who are dedicated to persuading them to join the ranks of Dragon Sorcery Wraiths.

Due to its secretive nature and the solitary nature of those Giant Dragons, the Dragon Cult is highly secretive to the outside world, and many people don’t even know that the Felen Continent has such a powerful cult force.

What truly brought them into fame and out in the open was more than ten years later when Samaster attempted to find and control the Mystlock Locks, artificially triggering Dragon Madness, forcing more Giant Dragons to transform into Dragon Sorcery Wraiths to avoid the uncontrollable dragon frenzy induced by the Mystlock Locks.

In fact, some Colored Dragons agreed to transform into Dragon Sorcery Wraiths due to their dread of the Mystlock Locks. Once they fall into dragon frenzy rage, they would become the most violent slaughter machines, madly attacking everything around them, including their servants and allies.

These malevolent Chromatic Dragons do not worry about the disasters they bring to others. What they fear is doing something foolish in the process, being taken advantage of and slaughtered by those with ill intentions.

Gaven, however, knows a piece of information that many don’t know: the Dragon Cult has a very close relationship with Sambia.

The first Dragon Sorcery Wraith of the Dragon Cult was transformed in the city now known as Seren City in Sambia. In the same year, the Qiongdas Kingdom rejected Sambia’s city-state establishment request, and the relations between the two began to deteriorate.

Taken separately, these two events are not problematic, but viewed together, they are quite thought-provoking.

This is not a coincidence but rather that the emergence of the Dragon Sorcery Wraith gave enough courage to the city lords and lords of Sambia, enabling them to resist and break away from their original masters.

Conversely, it was the Dragon Cult that secretly supported Sambia’s city-state’s independence.

In fact, Sambia’s kingdom attributes are also exactly like those of the Colored Dragons, possessing an endless greed for wealth, stopping at nothing for their avarice, and situations like the young Red Dragon are not rare. In many places, they collaborate with those malevolent Chromatic Dragons.

And throughout all this, those Dragon Cult cultists are the ones fanning the flames.
