The Mighty Dragons Are Dead

Chapter 779: Chapter 0776: Volcanic Eruption (Second Update)
 

Once he thought of it, he acted on it.

Liszt immediately rode on Leo, carefully circling around the Dodo Island Volcano Crater to scout each path of volcanic magic power. He then located the nodes, guiding Leo to unleash the Fire Dragon Overmagic, to merge and resonate with the volcanic magic power.

This was a colossal project.

Liszt attempted the resonance several times and ended in failure, but he gradually identified a pattern from these failures. He realized that to induce a volcanic eruption, a precise resonance was not necessary. He just needed to initiate the flow of the Fire Dragon Overmagic, causing tidal fluctuations in the volcanic magic power.

When the fluctuation peaked beyond a certain limit, the magma inside the volcano, yet to cool completely, would boil again with the tidal magic power.

However, such an action would consume a vast amount of Leo’s Fire Dragon Overmagic, the treasure trove he had diligently amassing, which was crucial for his growth.

“Oh ho!”

He was somewhat reluctant.

“Don’t be reluctant, Leo. Triggering a volcanic eruption will greatly benefit your growth. As a Fire Dragon, if you can’t even initiate an eruption, wouldn’t that be too much of a failure as a dragon!”

“Oh ho!”

Leo agreed with Liszt’s plan, equally yearning for growth. As a young dragon, without any shortcuts, it might need hundreds of years. Meeting Liszt might seem like a huge misfortune in terms of freedom, but from the perspective of growth, it was an incredible stroke of luck.

With the assistance of the Smoke Mission, Liszt could casually pull the threads of destiny to help it mature in advance.

Just like now, as he was guiding the volcanic eruption.

Leo invested heavily in his Fire Dragon Overmagic, quickly reactivating the dormant Dodo Island Volcano. The mountain began to rumble and thick smoke billowed. Moments later, the extinguished volcano of Dodo Island spewed out the first stream of magma from the shattered crater, which quickly solidified upon contact with the air.

“Not enough, put more effort into it, Leo!”

“Oh ho!”

Leo and Liszt were in perfect harmony as Leo instantly channeled the long-stored Fire Dragon Overmagic in his body for a wildly violent output. At that moment, the tidal magic power of the Dodo Island Volcano erupted like a tsunami, instantly causing a chain reaction. The magma inside went into a furious surge throughout the volcanic structure.

Boom!

Boom! Boom!

Amidst the billowing smoke, a massive column of fiery red magma burst forth, shooting a hundred meters into the sky. The violent Fire Attribute Mana tore through the atmosphere, shredding any stray magic power to tatters, leaving only the Fire Attribute Mana rampaging wildly. The falling magma flowed down the mountain, and everywhere there were flames and smoke.

And a strong scent of sulfur.

“Oh ho!”

Looking at its own masterpiece, Leo was excited, lunging straight into the magma column, bathing in it. Meanwhile, Liszt swiftly took out a giant knight’s shield from the Space Ring and curled up within the Dragon Tooth Platform, avoiding the scorching magma, bathing with Leo in the magma.

In and out they went, Leo’s Fire Dragon Overmagic naturally resonated with the Volcanic Super Magic of the magma column.

During this resonance, Liszt distinctly felt the magic power inside Leo undergoing a transformation, shedding its immaturity and greenness. The boundaries between High Magic and Superior Magic were blending, no longer distinct, but progressing in layers.

Boom!

The volcano, after a flurry of eruptions, ran out of all its magma, unable to form a magma column anymore. The tidal magic power slowly dissipated as well, and the entire Dodo Island Volcano swiftly fell silent again, with only the yet-to-cool magma still flowing down the mountain, radiating intense heat.

“Oh ho!”

Leo opened his mouth, instantly spewing out a breath of Dragon Breath, no need for precise measurement to know the temperature of the Dragon Breath had significantly increased – at least two or three thousand degrees. In an instant, it could melt steel, no longer just a means of venting magic power, but a potent attack.

However, after exhaling the heated Dragon Breath, Leo visibly fell into a listless state, having consumed too much Fire Dragon Overmagic in the process of triggering the volcanic eruption.

“Let’s go back, Leo.”

Riding the Fire Dragon, they slowly flew towards the shore; Liszt jumped off, and Leo followed suit, transforming into a flame and merging into his body.

“Mission complete, reward: Dragon Breath Heating.”

The smoke rose, shaping into new Serpent Script content: “Mission: After the caravan search of the Duchy of Sapphire’s major Magical Beast exchange markets, and finally transporting back a Female Tyrant Earth Hound pup, you may begin the Bloodline Fruit evolution operation. Please feed the Bloodline Fruit to the Female Tyrant Earth Hound pup. Reward: New Super Dragon Beast clue.”

“Hmm!”

“I thought the reward for the mission would be a new Blizzard Beast to appease me,” Liszt couldn’t help but find his own thoughts amusing.

Based on the usual pattern of Smoke Missions, the rewards tend to follow suit. Feeding the Bloodline Fruit to the Fierce Earth Dog should award an evolved Blizzard Beast.

But this time the reward was a new clue about a Super Dragon Beast.

“Obviously, the clue about the Super Dragon Beast is of greater value… Anyway, it’s time to go back. This Dodo Island is considered to be destroyed for the second time.” Liszt glanced at Dodo Island, completely covered by volcanic lava. The extensive forests of Human Skull Trees and scattered Hemp Rope Vines had been submerged.

Only the area protected by Ach still had a few intact Human Skull Trees.

The Light Green Gemstone Dragon still hadn’t awakened; it had been in a deep slumber for three to four months, without any signs of waking up, which gave Liszt a lot of trouble.

Mind Island was probably already evolving into the Light Green Gemstone Mine, yet the Light Green Gemstone Dragon, being the creator, remained quasi-lifeless.

“What exactly happened to the Mind Fruit Tree back then, causing such grievous harm to it?” Liszt pondered slowly as he walked over and touched the scales of the Light Green Gemstone Dragon.

If it weren’t for its steady breathing and the robust state of its mind world, Liszt would have suspected it had become a “vegetative dragon.”

…

The Light Green Gemstone Dragon ultimately did not awaken under Liszt’s gaze, so he had no choice but to leave it to continue sleeping on the now-desolate Dodo Island.@@novelbin@@

Upon returning to his territory, the caravan had just delivered a still-young Female Tyrant Earth Hound pup.

Confined in a cage, the Little Fierce Earth Dog snarled viciously, surrounded by Douson and the Eight Tiny Ones, along with Douson’s mate, Earth Matron.

They were all immensely interested in the Little Fierce Earth Dog.

“Woof woof!”

When Liszt stood in front of the cage, the Little Fierce Earth Dog barked even more furiously, sensing the terrifying threat emanating from every move Liszt made.

However, Liszt didn’t care about the Little Fierce Earth Dog’s reaction; he simply took out the planting of the Bloodline Fruit Tree, buried it in the soil, and let it continue to grow. Seeing the Bloodline Fruit, Douson and the Eight Tiny Ones immediately turned envious, but without Liszt’s permission, they wouldn’t dare snatch the Bloodline Fruit.

Far away, the Landwalker bird Loki grazing, and the three Flame Dragon Birds, Little Yellow, Little Red, and Little Purple from Thorn Castle, also flew over, eagerly fixated on the Bloodline Fruit.

The Little Fierce Earth Dog in the cage was drooling profusely.

After a long wait, the Bloodline Fruit finally ripened. At that moment, Liszt quickly picked the Bloodline Fruit and fed it to the now almost dehydrated Little Fierce Earth Dog.

Watching the pup wolf down the fruit, he felt full of anticipation inside, “Eat up, eat up, get full and evolve quickly, the Fierce Earth Dog army is counting on you… Oh right, let’s give you a name first. Your evolution is like food fermenting, nurturing new delicacies, so let’s just call you Yeast.”

Douson, Juan Fu, Earth Matron, Yeast.

Somehow, there seemed to be a connection in the depths of fate.
