The Mighty Dragons Are Dead

Chapter 748: Chapter 0745: Super Magic (First Update, Burst Start, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

The power is very strong.

Liszt felt that Ach’s magic move had the power that could match his own charged attack when riding a dragon, but it still fell a little short of the power of Dragon Slash.

If he used Dragon Slash, he feared that not only would Rocky Beach be sliced in half, but the surrounding rocks would also be completely shattered—moves from the Dragon Dou Qi Manual contain truly explosive power.

“Can’t you cast it instantaneously?” Liszt jumped onto Rocky Beach and carefully inspected the rocks that had been cut by the water-electric chainsaw, noting that the cut wasn’t smooth, but concentrated with power when attacking.

Through the Eye of Magic, he could still see traces of lingering magic power.

According to his knowledge, such power was enough to pose a great threat to a Dragon Knight. Indeed, it met the standard of surpassing advanced magic.

Ach shook his head and said, “Not yet, this magic is difficult to sustain, and it requires very complex rune computations. With the help of the sea, its power can double. But when released on flat ground, not only is the casting speed slowed, but the power also greatly diminishes.”

Liszt unconsciously reached out and stroked Ach’s azure hair, saying, “Practice more. Once you’ve mastered this move, in a head-on battle at sea, you could definitely go fifty-fifty with a Completion-term Dragon Knight.” When with Liszt, Ach would take off her hood and reveal her flawless face.

Unfortunately, ever since she started wearing clothes, she never displayed her natural figure in front of Liszt again.

Liszt often felt regretful,

“By the way, have you named this magic move? And how is its level determined?”

“What do you think, brother?”

“I don’t quite understand the principle of this magic move, so I can’t make a judgment. You decide.” Without rice, even the cleverest housewife cannot cook, Liszt simply couldn’t understand the magic, and felt a bit weary thinking about it.

Ach pondered for a moment.

She said, “Then let’s call this magic ‘Chainsaw-style Super High Pressure Water Knife.’ It’s based on the principle of chainsaws and high-pressure water knives. As for the level classification, it should be categorized as super magic. If we divide it according to the principle of the magic circle, it should belong to the Dynamic Acceleration Magic Array, or perhaps the High-speed Magic Circle.”

With this,

The classification of magic became completely clear.

The magic cultivation system and the knight cultivation system also formed a stark contrast.

Basic Magic – Magic Circle Embryo – Magic Apprentice VS Apprentice Knight – Primary Dou Qi – Basic Dou Qi Moves.

Common Magic – Static Magic Circle – Magician VS Earth Knight – Intermediate Dou Qi – Dou Qi Manuscript.

Advanced Magic – Dynamic Magic Array – Grand Magician VS Sky Knight – Advanced Dou Qi – Advanced Dou Qi Manual.

Super Magic – High-speed Magic Circle – Archmage VS Dragon Knight – Dragon Dou Qi – Dragon Dou Qi Manual.

Upon this comparison, Liszt keenly discovered that whether it’s Dragon Knights or Magicians, the two different cultivation systems had similar hierarchical structures. This shows that in terms of the utilization of magic power, whether it was knights refining their own Dou Qi or magicians drawing from stray magic power, both had their clever methods.

“No wonder that at one time, magicians ruled the world, and now knights rule the world. It’s probably because both cultivation systems have a very efficient use of magic power.”

Survival of the fittest.

The principle was probably as such.

On the way back, Liszt raised another question, “Ach, the training methods of magicians and knights are similar, and Archmages use the Magic Web while Dragon Knights form their own. Do you think that if one continues to advance in their training, there could be higher levels of magicians and knights?”

“I don’t know, brother. Ach hasn’t even thoroughly studied Archmages yet,” replied Ach.

“Alright,” Liszt, who hadn’t fully comprehended Dragon Knights either, decided not to worry about the future any longer. Instead, he asked, “Have you been preparing to switch to Elementalization? Have you found any clues about how to do the switch?”

As a Water Mage, Ach couldn’t cast any of the other seven types of magic, which she felt greatly limited her strength.

“`

Considering she could utilize magic power to channel the release of natural magic, a kind of chaos magic, and recently devised a magic armament capable of storing clothes, theoretically, an Archmage could forcibly switch their elemental embodiment through the Magic Web, achieving the release of various types of magic.

However, she shook her head, “There seems to be many clues, but a closer study reveals too many issues and restrictions, so Ach is still in distress over it.”

“Alright, take your time with research, no rush.”

…

The current situation indeed did not require haste.

The Eagle Kingdom’s insistence on news concerning the Light Green Gemstone Dragon showed the kingdom’s emptiness, utterly lacking the strength to launch another dragon hunt. The Steel Ridge Kingdom dispatched an envoy group, indicating intentions of forming an alliance rather than resorting to war. With the two most influential kingdoms in this sea area stabilized, Liszt naturally felt more secure.

He was calmly waiting for the arrival of the envoy group. However, before the envoy group’s arrival, Marquis Merlin arrived at Black Horse Island ahead of time, accompanied by the Meioubao Couple.

Without passing through Tulip Castle, at Marquis Merlin’s request, the fleet headed straight for Black Horse Port.

Liszt personally welcomed them at the port.

As the Court Fast Sailing Ship docked, Meioubao and Angela supported an old man with white hair who slowly descended from the big ship—it was Liszt’s closest grandfather, Merlin Taro.

“Grandfather.”

“Good!” Marquis Merlin clasped Liszt’s hand tightly with a lot of strength, but his body had completely deteriorated, and even a firm grip was weak and powerless.

His complexion, too, was extremely sallow, making one doubt whether he could survive the winter of this year.

However, the old man was in high spirits. When he received the news of Liszt becoming a Dragon Knight, he already understood that the Long Taro Family had an unshakeable support. The family may not be able to boast eternal prosperity but, at the very least, during the years of Liszt’s life, they were absolutely safe and untouchable.

Because Marquis Merlin’s health was too frail, he did not linger at the port and went directly into the carriage heading towards Thorn Castle.

Liszt rode the Landwalker bird Loki—as a rule, he wouldn’t ride Leo back and forth. It was inconvenient, so he normally rode Loki for travel.

Meioubao, on the other hand, rode a fine horse, riding side by side with Liszt.

“Liszt, you’re incredible!” His expression was excited and full of admiration, “A Dragon Knight, and you’re my own cousin. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in several days; it just feels too unbelievable.”

“Just average.”

“You know, now that I merely mention that I’m the cousin of a Dragon Knight, countless noble young ladies are eager to throw themselves into my bed, all for the sake of an excuse to get closer to you!”

Liszt focused on the key point, “Are you still messing around on the side?”

“Not at all, not at all. I am very upright in my conduct. By the way, I have some good news that I just can’t wait to share with you,” Meioubao said with a face full of joy, “After taking the small vitality potion you sent over, I’ve finally succeeded—Angela is pregnant! Haha!”

“Hmm, congratulations!” Liszt felt genuinely happy for his cousin.@@novelbin@@

Meioubao grinned ear to ear, “Thank you, thank you.”

Once back at Thorn Castle, Liszt settled Marquis Merlin and sent knights to Tulip Castle to pass on messages, all the while preparing for the midday feast.

Marquis Merlin had come to Black Horse Island for the holiday season. Now that Thorn Castle was fully built, with more rooms than could be used, accommodating the entire Long Taro Family was not an issue. However, the Mesiro Couple would only arrive the day before the festival, as they still had to oversee affairs on Red Crab Island.

A moment later.

The heavy snow continued to fall. Marquis Merlin stood on the balcony of Thorn Castle, watching as Liszt called forth Little Fire Dragon Leo.

His murky eyes suddenly brightened, “Beautiful, what a beautiful Fire Dragon!”
