Dragon of the Root

Chapter 2: Land of Shadows

After being sucked into the gap in the space-time tunnel, Wu Ming passed out in a coma. When he woke up, Wu Ming found him lying on the ground. This is not the key to the problem. The key is that Wu Ming was surprised when he saw the sky, because it was instantly gray.

"Land of Shadows." Wu Ming slowly spoke his inner thoughts.

"You seem quite knowledgeable." A female voice was heard.

Wu Ming turned his head and looked at it. What caught his attention was a very beautiful woman who seemed to be around 20 years old. His body was draped in black and purple tights, and very little of his body was equipped with light armor. The long purple hair on her waist swayed, and she slowly walked towards Wu Ming step by step.

"You are clearly a living human entering the Land of Shadows, it really is" As if she found something wrong, his purple eyes glared at her and smiled and said, "I see, Dragon of the Root, it seems This is a god who is help me."

"Excuse me, who are you?" Out of caution, Wu Ming looked very polite, but still did not relax his vigilance because the other party was a woman. (Well, even though she pretty)

"Oh~ Looks like you came here by mistake, Dragon of the Root, don't you know me," She asked.

"Looks like a great person" Wu Ming thought in his heart, "I'm really sorry, I really don't know how to come here and I don't know who you are."

"So starting today, you will be my first disciple. I am Scathach, Queen and gatekeeper of the Land of Shadows, Scathach."

Wu Ming was surprised. As the champion of the college entrance examination, Wu Ming naturally read a lot of books. Of course, he knows the Land of Shadows, one of the secret realms of Celtic mythology, the queen who guards the gates of the Land of Shadows, and the mighty God of War.

Scathach has the ability to see the qualities and temperament of others (especially to distinguish whether his opponent is a mortal or not), also because Wu Ming is the Dragon of the Root which causes Scathach to fail to catch a glimpse of Wu Ming.

Naturally, he also knew Scathach tragic desire to kill her.

And since no one really could kill her, Scathach decided to train someone who could kill her.

According to the first disciple Scathach had just said, it seemed that Scathach had just come up with the idea of "Training someone who can kill herself" when she met the talented "Dragon of the Root" Wu Ming.

After seeing the surprised look on his face, Scathach smiled, "It seems that you still know me, then, will you worship me as a teacher, the very weak Dragon of the Root."

"Yes, I do, Master." Wu Ming agreed after thinking for a while. Wu Ming desperately needed the opportunity to become stronger, and there was an opportunity to become stronger now, how could he let it go.

Wu Ming was not angry because the other party said that he was weak. In fact, this is a fact. He was very weak not long after his birth (less than 20 years). He couldn't even perform the most basic Dragon Root abilities. He can transform into human form depending entirely on the help of the contract as a Counter Force.

Overall, he was very weak now. This was also the reason why Wu Ming decided to leave the earth world earlier. The greater the danger, the greater the opportunity. In that world, Wu Ming, as the "Dragon of the Root," was unable to obtain any growth in strength, of course, his intelligence was not considered a strength.

"Alright, I believe if it was you, you would be able to fulfill my wish." Scathach said with a smile, "Remember, when you have the power to kill me, don't hesitate to kill me." That smile made Wu Ming feel very sad.

In this way, the news that the baby Dragon of the Root became the first disciple of the Queen of the Land of Shadows was then spread throughout Celtic by C Chulainn.

....

The next day, early morning

Wu Ming walked out of a small wooden house and looked up at the sky, "I'm used to seeing blue skies and white clouds. I'm not used to such a dark sky."

Yesterday, Scathach brought Wu Ming here and said, "You rest for the first night, and you will officially start training tomorrow." Then, despite Wu Ming feelings, she left alone.

"Really, did you get too excited because you discovered the possibility of committing suicide?" Wu Ming recalled that poignant smile again.

Just thinking about it, suddenly a spear fell from the sky onto the ground and fell to the ground in front of Wu Ming.

"!" Wu Ming was so frightened that he took a step back.

"This?" Wu Ming looked at this white and silver colored holy spear, which radiated holy magic power. As the Dragon of the Root, Wu Ming could naturally feel the magic power emitted by this weapon.

"Today, your task is to obtain the approval of this 'weapon'." Scathach walked from a distance and said.

"?" To get the spear approval, this weapon doesn't seem that simple. Wu Ming thought.

"This is actually the core of the world tree, because I used to use a spear, so I turned it into a spear." Scathach paused and said again: "If you don't want to use the spear, after you get its approval, you can change its appearance at will, but you must remember that once you approve your chosen appearance, it will not change again, and it will be sublimated again and become Noble Phantasms."

"Noble Phantasm!" Wu Ming words were familiar. When the birth memory was obtained, the dragon scale also transmitted the basic knowledge of the Type-Moon World to Wu Ming mind. In the Type-Moon World, the Noble Phantasm was popularly referred to as the ultimate weapon of the Heroic Spirit.

The magic that materialized, the testimony of heroes held by the heroes, the crystallization of humanity yearning for miracles, and the strongest weapon called "Noble Phantasm", similar to magic, but more advanced, made human fantasy the most powerful weapon.

These are the weapons, symbols and techniques that the Heroic Spirit possesses, of course, it is also an excellent weapon, or perhaps a certain skill. Of course, it also denies that a living person holds objects that are not sublimated by human fantasy.

In fact, many Noble Phantasms were created by ordinary rebellion. Except for skill-type Noble Phantasm, all kinds of weapon-type Noble Phantasm can be said to have all existed before, and after being sublimated by people fantasy, they become Noble Phantasm.

Overall, Noble Phantasm was a trump card. This was a very effective way to save the life of the young Dragon of the Root Wu Ming.

Now, even if Scathach didn't let Wu Ming get the spear, Wu Ming still didn't agree.

"Okay, teacher, look at me!" Wu Ming smiled, his eyes faintly showing pupils that were like dragons.

"Oh~ I'll just wait and see, Silence."

Because of Wu Ming name, Scathach thought: Wu Ming = Silence. Wu Ming emphasized more than once that he was Wu Ming, not Silence. Somehow Scathach speaks modern English, is it because she is off the timeline, so she can speak modern English?

By the way, Scathach and Wu Ming spoke modern English when they first met. Scathach persuaded Wu Ming on the grounds that "If you speak ancient Celtic, you must not understand it, the weak Dragon of the Root full of modern flavor."

Wu Ming took a deep breath and exhaled. Stepping forward, holding the spear in both hands, closing his eyes, at this moment, he only had one thought in his heart: The road to the strong, I am here!

In this way, Wu Ming began to practice.
