The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 677 - 0674: The Giant Shell (3rd update, Alliance Hierarch additional update 2/54)

Chapter 677: Chapter 0674: The Giant Shell (3rd update, Alliance Hierarch additional update 2/54)

Ten minutes of Dragon Knight Resonance had given Liszt an overwhelming sense of magic and wonder, realizing that magic power was omnipresent in this world and that all matter was composed of it.

This fundamentally negated the worldview he had previously held.

However, the materials transformed by this magic power still retained certain physical laws of the material world, which is why he encountered many familiar phenomena. The cold and heat of the seasons, the oceans and mountains, thunder and rain, plants and animals, even the movements of the sun, moon, and stars were all reminiscent of Earth.

After exiting Dragon Knight Resonance, he felt greatly fatigued, and Leo was somewhat weary as well, mainly mentally, though his body remained healthy and energetic.

Nonetheless, this didn’t hinder Liszt from continuing to ride Leo through the skies, all the while slowly contemplating, “On Earth, the faster the particles move, the higher the temperature, and the higher the temperature, the faster the particles move. In other words, particle motion is temperature at the microscopic level, while temperature is particle motion at the macroscopic level.”

Whether it’s the physical laws of Earth or this world’s theory of magic, matter, and spirit, there is common ground and they can reference each other.

After all, the external expressions of the two worlds have too much in common.

What he had over the natives of this world was the knowledge from Earth: “So the collective movement of magic particles may manifest as magic, Dou Qi, and all the phenomena formed by magic power… Forget it, this is kind of brain-burning, I’ll just describe this to Ake and let her think about it.”

Not getting hung up on the obsessive details was one of his consistent strengths.

Dropping these complicated thoughts, he felt much more relaxed and enjoyed the coolness of dragon riding.

“Rest for a moment, and explore when I can enter Dragon Knight Resonance again,” he mused, taking out a few magic potions and popping them open then and there. Under Dragon Rider status, there was no difference between his and Leo’s consumption of potions, as Dou Qi and magic power had already merged seamlessly, “Dragon Knight Resonance is a method of cultivation, but the state I enter could probably be termed ‘Dragon Rider Mode’.”

While normally riding a dragon, he could use methods like Dragon Force Focus to unleash the powerful combat ability of a Dragon Knight, but fundamentally, this combat style is still individual for man and dragon, at most mutually amplifying each other’s strength.

But once in Dragon Rider Mode, man and dragon were highly integrated, indistinguishable from one another, which inevitably led to a massive increase in combat power.

“I could even apply the Eye of Magic, this Dou Qi Secret Technique, to Leo… Is this because of the way Leo circulates magic power, producing an effect similar to Dou Qi because of the Dragon Rider Mode? Or is the Eye of Magic still my own doing, but magnified due to the Dragon Knight Resonance?”

Whether it was the former reason or the latter.

It was a huge surprise: “Being able to use the Eye of Magic, does that mean I could also use Breath Decay? If I had this Dou Qi Secret Technique, could I reduce Leo’s exhaustion? Furthermore, could ‘Rising Sun Blaze’ be cast with Leo’s help?”

All these awaited his experimentation.

High above, in the blue sky with white clouds, man and dragon popped potions while waiting for their spirits to recover. Liszt could feel the potency of Dragon Rider Mode, and Leo was equally attracted to the magical experience of this mode.

Both were too excited to contain themselves.

…

While Liszt and Leo were heedlessly reveling in the sky.

The Little Sea Monster Ake sat silently pondering inside the house, and Mangrove Minor Elf Nami, who had not been seen for many days, was perched on her shoulder, munching away at a chunk of peanut nougat.

Nami, as one of the few Minor Elves adept at socializing and fond of work, could proudly claim that each piece of candy she ate was earned from her toils. Not only was she responsible for caring for the Green-headed Ducks in both Mangrove Island and the Estuary Mangrove Forest, but she also often visited Seagull Island Mangrove Forest to tend to the Flamingos.

Even though serfs had heavily involved themselves, and the eggs of Green-headed Ducks and Flamingos had entered the artificial incubation system, Nami still had to continually spread mangrove seedlings to maintain the normal development of the Mangrove Forests.

Without this adorable Minor Elf.

The Green-headed Duck eggs and Flamingo eggs that Liszt loved to eat would not have been so readily available.

“Chirp.”

After eating a peanut nougat, Nami let out a soft chirp of comfort, not daring to be too loud for fear of disturbing Ake, who was deep in thought.

However, at that moment, Nami suddenly noticed that Ake stretched out her right hand, seemingly staring at her flawless, jade-like palm. But in the next instant, her delicate fingers, small as spring onions, bloomed with a pale blue-white light. Then, the flesh of her hand began to quietly recede from its natural color.

In its place was a light blue transparent color.

Then the entire hand lost its flesh color as if it turned into blue-white crystal.

“Chirp?”

Nervously, Nami flew up to Ake’s face, wanting to alert her about what was happening to her hand. But feeling Ake’s calm emotions through their mind connection, Nami found herself unable to speak and simply hovered slowly in front of Ake. Nami watched as Ake’s hand, then her whole arm, lost its flesh color.

Next, it was half of her body—her chest, her abdomen—all faded in color.

Then her buttocks and legs followed suit, and even the seawater below her ankles was integrated into this fading, until she had completely faded the entire shell. In the end, even Ake’s neck began to fade, and the body below her whole head turned into the blue-white crystal-like state.

At this moment, Ake lifted her head and seemed to notice Nami’s concerned expression, returning it with a slight smile.

A second later, her entire body faded, from shell to hair, all turned into blue-white crystal. This blue-white crystal did not last long; it gradually turned fainter and fainter, and in the end, she seemed to evaporate, disappearing without a trace under Nami’s watchful eyes.

“Chirp!”

“Chirp!”

“Chirp!”

Nami could feel Ake’s presence through their mind connection, but couldn’t find her anywhere. Nami’s limited intelligence couldn’t understand this situation and could only cry out in panic.

Suddenly.

Ake’s voice rang in Nami’s ears, “Nami, don’t worry, Ake is just using the Magic Web to reshape her body. Do you know? The Magic Web is really magical, it can let Ake become the most basic magic elemental. Wait a while, and the Ake that appears before you will be a brand new Ake.”

“Chirp?” Nami twisted her head, searching, but still couldn’t find Ake.

But Ake’s voice continued without pause, “Do you know the very first thing Ake wants to do after touching the Magic Web and using it to elementalize and reshape her body? That is to take off the shell. Although the shell is nice, brother always felt it was troublesome, and Ake also finds it bothersome.”

Nami felt the shell was quite good and didn’t want Ake to throw it away: “Chirp.”

Ake, who was reconstructing her body within the Magic Web, immediately laughed, “Of course not thrown away. Ake’s shell is a part of her body, it’s like the Cordyceps for you elves. Ake can now retract it into her body, and also release it as if it’s a piece of Magic Equipment, always protecting Ake!”

In the meantime.

Waves rippled through the air in front of Nami, and then pale blue-white lines began to overlap, quickly sketching out a huge scallop shell three meters in diameter. As more blue-white lines filled in every trace of the shell, the color solidified into white.

It was clearly the large shell Ake had before.

Seeing the large shell appear, Nami excitedly shouted, “Chirp, chirp, chirp!”
