The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 702 - 0699: Missing Legacy (Second Update)

Chapter 702: Chapter 0699: Missing Legacy (Second Update)

Boom!

Liszt’s attack struck the position where Ach was located, but Ach took advantage of the momentum to sink into the sea, disappearing from the view of the Dragon Eye Trajectory.

The Dragon Dou Qi slowly dissipated above the sea, and everything returned to calm.

Only Liszt remained, riding the Fire Dragon, patrolling the surface of the sea—although the Dragon Eye Trajectory had strong observation capabilities, it did not have the ability to see through objects; therefore, once Ach sank into the sea, she successfully escaped his field of vision.

“What does Ach want to do, drag out the time because she knows my Dragon Rider Mode has a time limit? That’s unlikely—the purpose of our combat exercise is to hone our fighting skills; there can be no improvement without engagement… Moreover, I can end the Dragon Knight Resonance early and return to normal,” he pondered.

Dragon Knight Resonance was now so adept for Liszt that he and Leo could enter Dragon Rider Mode anytime and anywhere without suffering from any time limit drawbacks.

However, just as he considered whether to deactivate Dragon Rider Mode, the sea began to surge again.

Numerous streams of water formed giant blades that rose from the sea, creating a net-like formation that slashed towards Leo with an unmatched momentum, fiercely and rapidly like a violent storm.

High-Level Water System Magic – Blade of Water!

Riding on Leo, Liszt deftly maneuvered through the air among the massive water blades, searching for Ach’s figure. His responsive and judgmental abilities greatly enhanced while in Dragon Rider Mode, the Dragon Eye Trajectory now offered a dynamic view, with a clear insight into the trajectory of magic power.

Suddenly.

Within the massive, ascending water blades, a thick, solid column of water shot up with lightning speed—Advanced Water System Magic – Strong Water Column!

This high-level magic, usually reserved for Grand Magicians, was cast by Ach as easily as the most basic Water Arrow Spell—at will and without any concern for the consumption of magic power. And after touching the Magic Web, her deep understanding of Dynamic Magic Arrays elevated her mastery of magic to a higher plane.

All aspects of the magic’s power and properties underwent a qualitative leap and enhancement.

Had a Sky Knight, even a Domain Knight, faced such formidable magic, they wouldn’t have been able to break through it, and a single round of magic might have sent them off in pursuit of knightly glory.

But the target of the magical attack was a Dragon Knight.

“Very strong, but still not enough to defeat me!” There wasn’t a ripple in Liszt’s heart as his gaze continually swept over the churning sea, using the trajectory of the released magic to lock on to Ach’s figure. “Ach moves very fast in the water, nearly reaching the degree of instant movement, which is a bit troublesome.”

If it were a human Archmage, no matter how proficient in Water Magic, they wouldn’t be able to swim through the sea so effortlessly.

But water control was Ach’s racial talent; the sea was her true home turf, where she was virtually invincible.

And Ach made good use of her talent, hiding in the sea and not showing herself, relying on magic for sneak attacks on Liszt—to be strict about it, Ach was not just a theoretical flower nurtured in a greenhouse; she had hunted many Sea Monsters in the sea. From a very young age, she was able to avoid the pursuit of intermediate-level Sea Monsters like the Six-Headed King Serpent, so it can’t be said that she lacked combat experience.

“Still not good enough!”

With keen observation through the Dragon Eye Trajectory, it didn’t take long for Liszt to capture Ach’s underwater route, analyze their respective positions and travel lines, and find the optimal attack position. Then, in perfect harmony of heart and mind, Leo folded his wings and plummeted like a weightless rocket, piercing through the layers of water blades.

Just as he was about to crash into the sea, Leo suddenly rolled to the side, spreading his wings wide and fiercely flapping them, while Liszt raised his Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword high, sending a Dou Qi attack pouring into the sea.

The Fire Attribute Dragon Dou Qi could still transform and burn underwater, accurately striking Ach, who was rapidly changing positions. When the Dragon Dou Qi came into contact with the Water Wave Shield, it exploded into a violent collision. The collision shattered the Water Wave Shield like glass and forcefully slammed Ach further into the depths of the sea.

The moment the Water Wave Shield broke, Ach took advantage of the impact force and swiftly retreated.

Even as she fell back, she did not forget to raise her hand and released one after another Advanced Water System Magic – Whirlpool Convergence, causing the surrounding seawater to explode tumultuously. Countless streams of magic power erupted chaotically, tearing everything in the vicinity to shreds and successfully blocking Liszt, the Dragon Knight, who already surged back again.

Their vision was obscured by the shattered spray, losing track of Ach.

With a thought from Liszt, Leo spread his wings and flew high into the sky, just as a thick and solid water column burst through the waves, aiming at where Leo had just been.

Just like that.

Ach kept releasing magic, but either missed Leo or failed to inflict significant damage when hitting him. Liszt could find opportunities to attack Ach, but similarly, the seawater reduced the impact of his attacks, proving no major threat to Ach—they were at an impasse.

About half an hour later.

Liszt signaled that the live combat training was over and joined Ach on the beach.

With a “roar,” Leo flew towards the mouth of the Dodo Island Volcano to enjoy the fire attribute superior magic he had just condensed. Liszt and Ach stayed in the small cabin by the sea to carefully review the gains and losses of the live combat training.

“Big brother, the combat power of magicians is clearly weaker than that of a Dragon Knight, not by just a small margin,” Ach’s magic caused too little damage to the Dragon Knight. “If not for the help of the sea, Ach would not stand a chance against you, and in the upcoming dragon-slaying battle with Alonso Xianke, Ach will probably only be able to play a supporting role.”

What she said was true.

Through this live combat training, Liszt also realized that despite the magician’s attacks appearing ferocious—often sweeping across a large area—they were not of much significance to the robust physique of the Dragon Knight. Even if Leo took a few spells head-on, he wouldn’t be grievously wounded, at most breaking a couple of bones.

The attack power of a Dragon Knight, however, could easily tear apart magic, reaching the magician himself directly.

If this battle had not been at sea, but on land, Ach would likely have been overwhelmed and defeated by Liszt after just a few attacks.

“I also think there’s a problem with the combat power of magicians. The magic books mention the ancient magicians who could fight dragons one-on-one. Their attack power shouldn’t be so weak… There must be a break in the succession of knowledge. Ach, you have only mastered advanced magic, which Grand Magicians should be able to wield.”

Liszt made his own judgment: “Magicians should possess higher-level magic, otherwise they wouldn’t have left such a resounding legacy.”

“Ach thinks so too, but there’s no clue about higher-level magic.”

“Perhaps soul research is a good direction. The magicians of the Goat Assembly relied on soul research to severely wound the Sapphire Dragon.”

Liszt sighed.

After thinking for a moment.

He made a decision he wasn’t sure he should, pulling out several magic books about the soul from his space ring and handing them to Ach: “All these books are collections I’ve gradually made concerning the soul. Originally, I didn’t want you to know about them because soul research is too wicked.”

He hoped that Ach could always remain as pure and untainted as she was now, rather than become a crazed magician delving into souls and defiling life and death.

According to legend.

Many of the ancient magicians reportedly became wizards or even transformed themselves into liches after studying the soul. Liszt did not like wizards and liches, always feeling it was a desecration of life—perhaps he was actually worried that magicians through soul research could harm himself.

After all, the Sapphire Dragon was a lesson from the past—just a group of Grand Magicians had nearly succeeded in slaying a dragon, showing the lethal power of the soul.

Seeing Liszt’s concern, Ach solemnly took the books, giggled, and said, “Big brother, Ach will always be your little sea monster.”

Liszt looked distracted, Ach had never spoken in such a coquettish tone before, but then he laughed out loud: “That’s right, Ach will always be Ach, and I will always be Ach’s big brother, Liszt!”
