The Mighty Dragons Are Dead

Chapter 831: Chapter 0828: Trembling from the Bottom of My Heart (Second Update)

Anthony Sapphire brought Liszt some bad news.

Liszt’s proposal to join forces with the Sapphire Family for a major undertaking had been gently rejected by the Sapphire Duke. The reason was the friction between the Blast Furnace Fortress Kingdom and the Steel Ridge Kingdom, which likely meant that this year’s Pioneer Mandate might not be issued as desired.

“The Eagle Kingdom must have promised Blast Furnace Fortress Kingdom countless benefits, successfully stirring up confrontation between them and the Steel Ridge Kingdom. Six Dragon Knights have already gathered in the borderlands at the junction of the two kingdoms, leading to a sudden reduction in border pressure for the Eagle Kingdom, allowing them to free up forces to defend their coastal heartlands.”

“What a pity,” Liszt did not insist.

The Grand Duchy of Sapphire was known as the sea overlord, but in reality, it was merely a grand duchy. Seeing no opportunity to exploit, it beat a tactical retreat.

As for Liszt, in this unclear situation, he also wasn’t foolish enough to raid the Eagle Kingdom alone.

...

Both he and Little Fire Dragon Leo, along with Formless Dragon Bard, needed time to grow. Light Green Gem Dragon Ethan had suffered a grave injury and had not fully recovered. With such fighting power, they could bully ordinary knights, but they were somewhat lacking in confidence against Dragon Knights, so it was better to focus on developing Flame Island.

He laid his cards on the table with Anthony, “The Sapphire Family should put more effort into the serf trade. You should already know about the Flame Islands; I am in the process of developing them and could leave the Sapphire lands at any time.”

Anthony nodded, “Yes, we have already heard the news. Your knight mobilization with the Marquis of Bull Tail was not heavily concealed.”

“Regarding the development of the Flame Islands, I have yet to fully investigate, so the founding and migration of a new kingdom have to be postponed for a few years. I hope the Grand Duke will continue to support us in these years.”

“Rest assured, Your Highness, the Sapphire Family will fully support the establishment of the Flame Family’s kingdom.”

“Good to hear. Since you have made the rare journey to Black Horse Island, stay for a few days and enjoy the island’s cuisine.”

…

Once Anthony had left with his mouth greasy from eating,

Liszt also set off from Black Horse Island with Ach, bringing the third batch of framed ships, heading towards the Whirlpool Archipelago. After transporting supplies to Flame Town, he summoned Formless Dragon Bard and spent all day with Ach researching the Magic Teleportation Array.

The reason for his enthusiasm was the new Smoke Mission.

“Mission: The Great Whirlpool Magic Teleportation Matrix has gradually become clear under the research of Sea Sprite Ake and is ready to be experimented on. This is related to a major future scientific research project. Why not join forces with the Formless Dragon to help Ake and complete the first experiment? Reward: Deep knowledge of the Magic Web.”

This mission implied that Ake’s research had entered a new phase.

And the reward was also very interesting—similar to a previous reward for traversing the Great Whirlpool. That time it was deep knowledge of the Magic Teleportation Array, and this time it was deep knowledge of the Magic Web.

Undoubtedly, this reward captured his firm attention.

He had mulled over the Magic Web countless times and had inquired about it to Ake on more than one occasion. But aside from knowing that the Magic Web was a special existence that enveloped the entire world like a field and a net, floating between matter and magic power, possessing high-energy magic power and the ability to interfere with reality, he knew nothing else.

Yet without a doubt, the Magic Web was an important construct of the world. If he wanted to surpass the Dragon Knight Cultivation System, he definitely had to target the Magic Web.

Thus, this reward could not be missed.

“Ake, is the experiment ready to start, and are there any oversights?” At the entrance to the Whirlpool Mountain Whirlpool Cave, Liszt watched Ake continuously directing knights and magicians to set up the experimental apparatus and couldn’t help but nervously inquire.

“Brother, Ake has repeatedly validated the steps of the ‘Material-Magic Node Observation Experiment,’ and with Bard’s assistance, there should be no accidents,”

“Alright then.”

Time slipped into the oppressively hot month of August.

For an entire week, countless magic arrays set up personally by Sea Sprite Ake around the Whirlpool Cave Entrance were finally completed, wrapping the entrance entirely within their scope. After all the knights and magicians had evacuated from the Whirlpool Cave Entrance, only Ake, Liszt, and the Formless Dragon Bard remained.

“Wu yi ya!”

Bard could hardly wait. It was constantly providing information for the experiment with its abilities and also understanding the content and purpose of the “Material-Magic Power Node Observation Experiment” through Liszt’s communication—the purpose was to create an opportunity for it to observe the “boundary” of the material world.

Only by observing the boundary of the material world could one tear the boundary apart, search for the left side, and establish a connection through the Magic Teleportation Array.

“Brother, let’s start!”

Ake nodded.

Liszt cast all his mixed emotions aside, leaped onto the Dragon Tooth Platform on Formless Dragon Bard’s back, and quickly resonated with the dragon to enter Dragon Rider Mode. Meanwhile, Ake continuously activated the complex magic arrays at the entrance, which started to flicker with intricate magic radiance. Countless magic powers began converging towards the entrance.

Suddenly,

Liszt felt his body start to swell, or to be exact, Bard’s body began to expand as the magic power from the arrays was channelled into its body, helping it to dramatically enhance its strength in a short amount of time.

But the magic power was too diverse, it needed to be refined and concentrated.

Bard itself lacked this ability, but Liszt had already blended the Formless Dragon’s space magic power with his Dragon Dou Qi and was quickly unifying these powers through high-speed motion. Acting as a “switchboard” for the magic power, the Formless Dragon could comfortably accept the stimulation of the magic power, its strength surging wildly.

“Wu yi ya!”

Its body size began to grow, from an original 15 meters in body length and wingspan, it directly expanded to 20 meters in both, approximately the size it would be when it reached adulthood.

An adult Formless Dragon!

The Crystal White View was also constantly changing, from the rough crystal structure of the world to a fine crystal structure, and with Liszt running the Crystal White Trajectory, the world he saw became even more extraordinary, as if it broke down every thread of matter, every thread of magic power into the finest crystal structure.

The magic arrays were still being activated, and more magic powers were filling the Whirlpool Cave Entrance. Liszt, immersed in the Formless Dragon’s surging strength and novel view, suddenly heard Ake’s clear shout, “Brother, start guiding the magic power for high-frequency resonance, strip away the matter, and find the node of the material boundary!”

“Understood!”

Liszt abruptly snapped out of his focus on strength. The Dragon Dou Qi operated, and the Formless Dragon’s space magic power quickly merged into the surrounding environment, beginning to exhibit its power to dominate space.

Wings flapped, magic power surged.

The inner space of the Whirlpool Cave seemed to shake like ripples of water, and as the Formless Dragon’s power kept surging, the invisible material boundary was gradually peeled back, revealing the scenery beyond the boundary. At the same time, a wormhole space, faint and elusive, also began to take shape.

“Push harder, Bard!”

Liszt shouted loudly, and together with the Formless Dragon, they furiously circulated the Dragon Dou Qi. The force of space power continuously tore at the material boundary until, with a thunderous noise, the material boundary was forcefully ripped apart.

The Wormhole Space lay bare within the Crystal White Trajectory.

The next moment,

A man and dragon vibrated their wings and flew into the Wormhole Space. Behind them, the magic arrays at the Whirlpool Cave Entrance seemed unable to bear the tearing of the magic power tide and vanished in a flash. But by then, the magic arrays were no longer of any use. Liszt directly entered the Wormhole Space, in the guise of an adult Formless Dragon Knight.

The Crystal White Trajectory continuously operated, and every detail of the Wormhole Space was displayed under his gaze.

A vast and profound Magic Web enveloped the tube-like Wormhole Space, but as Liszt’s gaze searched deeper within the Magic Web, his pupils suddenly dilated.

An uncontrollable shudder erupted from the bottom of his heart.

“Terrifying, to such an extent!”
