Seer: I, Miris, have no obstacles in my evolution

What?! Gu Long has disappeared!

Zhen Shi Gertrude was shocked. When Twilight String tried to leave, he quickly manipulated the black and white dragons to block Twilight String's path.

He also gathered green lightning in both palms, looking ready to strike at any moment.

"Don't go! Hand over the ancient dragon!"

"I was thinking of letting you off the hook, but since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me..."

Twilight Strings played its long-stringed zither once more, the notes materializing and floating around it.

"It's the sound of the zither again. This must be her attack method. The ancient dragon's irritability and disappearance are also related to this zither music."

Zhen Shi Gertrude's expression turned serious. He was adept at using music as an enemy to attack, and to be honest, even after living for tens of thousands of years, he had never seen many like it.

Sonic attacks are ever-changing and impossible to defend against without understanding them, and they can almost ignore most physical defenses.

As Zhen Shi Gertrude felt the tension, Twilight String's attack was fully prepared.

"Phantom Light Sound Blade!"

With the infusion of energy, the four strings of the purple-gold long-stringed zither suddenly shone brightly, three blue and one purple.

As Twilight Strings plucked the three blue strings with its fingertips, a series of azure notes suddenly rose into the air, then combined with each other, transforming into sharp blades that pierced through the air.

The black and white dragons immediately roared and blocked the way for the piercing blade.

However, despite the obstruction of the black and white dragons' bodies, the Blade of Light passed right through them, piercing into the body of Zhen Shi Gertrude without any hesitation.

Twilight String's move can ignore external defenses, and upon closer inspection, Zhen Shi Gertrude discovered that his special defense and hit rate had decreased by two levels.

A wave of dizziness washed over him, and the seemingly motionless Twilight String appeared to Zhen Shi Gertrude as if it were constantly moving.

A spirit's defense is divided into physical defense and special defense. Sonic attacks ignore physical defense, but can be blocked by special defense.

The move "Twilight String" is a sonic attack that ignores physical defense and also reduces special defense, making it a formidable opponent.

Seeing that this move was quite effective, Twilight String quickly repeated the same trick. With his slender white fingers flying up and down, countless sharp blades made of musical notes suddenly shot out.

Zhen Shi Gertrude knew he couldn't afford to be hit by that piercing blade again, otherwise his continuously decreasing special defense would leave him helpless against sonic attacks.

The likely outcome is that he will either escape or collapse to the sound of music.

"The Dragon King's Roar, a Lament!"

Since sonic attacks are powerful, then Zhen Shi Gertrude can simply use sonic attacks to defend against them.

He activated two skills simultaneously. The black and white dragons, upon receiving the command, one roared to the sky and the other closed its eyes and let out mournful cries.

"Dragon King's Roar" grants an initial attack speed of three, making it extremely fast, while "Lament" comes with the additional ability to reduce the opponent's defense by one level.

Although the two skills are weak, when combined, they are enough to shatter the Sky-Piercing Blade with sound waves and attack the Twilight String itself.

Twilight String immediately realized something was wrong. She was already at a disadvantage in terms of physical defense. If her defense and physical defense were reduced several times in a row, her opponent could withstand the pressure of her attacks and kill her in one hit.

If you can't avoid it no matter what, then not avoiding it is the best course of action.

"A chilling, murderous sound!"

Sensing the danger, Twilight Strings plucked the strings faster and faster, and an incomparably fierce and chilling melody leaped out.

The two sound waves collided, but only blocked the slightly faster "Dragon King's Roar". The subsequent "Lament" still successfully affected the Twilight String.

Without giving any chance to react, Zhen Shi Gertrude's next attack was already unleashed.

"All dragons pay homage!"

With a deafening dragon roar, the immense dragon energy within Zhen Shi Gertrude's body was suddenly activated, transforming into countless dragon shadows.

The next moment, thousands of dragon shadows simultaneously opened their heads and exhaled countless dragon breaths of different colors.

"The String Against the Light!"

Click!

Suddenly, the purple string of the long-stringed lyre in the Twilight Moon String snapped and quickly rose into the sky. The string unfurled, and a ferocious purple behemoth roared as it charged toward the World-Suppressing Gertrude.

With a deafening roar, the two forces collided, and in the end, the breath of the myriad dragons prevailed, sending the Twilight String flying.

I fell into a hollow in the massive canopy of the jacaranda tree, where the naturally gathered canopy made it resemble a cave.

"Can we have a proper talk now?"

Zhen Shi Gertrude leaped into the void, with the majestic black and white dragons standing behind her, looking down at Twilight String.

"Why are you so obsessed with this ancient dragon? The frost dragon Hilkd wreaks havoc on the world, freezing all life."

Realizing that he couldn't defeat Zhen Shi Gertrude head-on, Twilight String decided to stall for time.

"Faced with such a vicious dragon, my current actions are merely to rid the people of a scourge."

She used sweet words to place Hildgood on the evil side and herself on the side of the vulnerable, attempting to gain the trust of Gertrude. Even when she was finally discovered, she had already achieved her goal.

This is because from the very beginning, Twilight String had quietly activated its unique characteristic, "String":

Each round of continuous combat with Twilight Moon String will apply one stack of Twilight Moon Melody to the opponent (up to 5 stacks).

Twilight Moon's Mysterious Sound: Hit rate reduced by 10%, attack skills have a 5% chance of becoming ineffective.

In other words, as time goes on, there is a 1/4 chance that Zhen Shi Gertrude's skill will fail to be used, and the hit rate will eventually be reduced to half.

In other words, if Zhen Shi Gertrude uses four skills, only one of them can hit Twilight String. In this case, she will definitely win.

Of course, that was under the condition that Zhen Shi Gertrude was deceived.

With at least tens of thousands of years of life experience, Zhen Shi Gertrude immediately saw through the clumsy deception of the Twilight String.

"It seems to me that you are trying to weave a lie... I know the thoughts of the dragons better than anyone else, how could an outsider like you possibly hide that from them?"

At the same time, he also felt a deep sense of dread.

In the battle just now, in addition to demonstrating a wave of attacks, Twilight String also released a number of spirits to attack.

For example, those two purple behemoths just now, if not annihilated by timely skill usage, would have dealt soul-piercing damage to Zhen Shi Gertrude without any hindrance.

[Considering her ability to summon spirits to attack, that ancient dragon... the enemy's ability must be to control spirits through their souls...]
