The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 909 - 906: Fearless Charge (First Update)
Waking up with a clear mind and refreshed spirit,
Liszt could no longer remember what dream he had had last night, but his life goal was set—to ride all the dragons on the Legendary Continent and another called the "Mafa Continent."
The Mafa Continent was a future event revealed by Ach, but Liszt did not have a clear understanding of which place it specifically referred to.
When he was discussing with Ach the night before, he thought that the Mafa Continent might just be the continent where the Children of the Sun lived.
In ancient times, the Moon Empire unified the Legendary Continent, whereas the Children of the Sun unified the Mafa Continent. The two ancient civilizations, separated by the Devil's Sea, exchanged visits using Sky Ships. Of course, it was also possible to directly establish a Magic Teleportation Array for communication, but it was unknown why the civilization of the Children of the Sun also declined.
Liszt still remembered the note in the Cast Aluminum Drift Bottle—the tower collapsed, Tree City burned, XX perished, the Children of the Sun shall rise with the flames, leaving the homeless children, you are free now.
Maybe this pointed out that the Mafa Continent once suffered a huge catastrophe.
But some timelines did not match up. According to the narration of Old Tanner Fi'el (Phil) and the diary of Philip, Descendant of the Sun, their ancestors were only exiled hundreds of years ago. That note should also be a record of the civilization of the Children of the Sun from hundreds of years ago, not an ancient civilization from a distant past.
Moreover, Liszt had salvaged a wreck of a Sky Ship, which, judging by its decay, had at most a thousand years of history.
Whereas the downfall of the Moon Empire was lost to time, at least several thousand, if not tens of thousands of years. It seemed that the civilization of the Children of the Sun was not contemporaneous with that ancient civilization.
"There might be another possibility, after the fall of the Moon Empire, the states established by knights all claimed to inherit the glory of the Moon Empire; the civilization of the Children of the Sun might also have had a successor, only to experience another downfall?"
He frowned.
He soon felt that he might have misunderstood something, "Perhaps the civilization of the Children of the Sun was not an ancient civilization from the era of the Moon Empire at all; otherwise, the bits and pieces passed down from the Moon Empire wouldn't lack records about the Children of the Sun… Maybe this Children of the Sun was a new type of civilization on the Mafa Continent?"
He even felt that the Children of the Sun could be descendants of the Moon Empire.
Just like the Moon Slayers living on Flame Island, perhaps a group of descendants of the Moon Empire crossed the Devil's Sea and settled on the Mafa Continent.
"A Moon Slayer, a Child of the Sun, the names do seem quite symmetrical."
Thinking too much about some issues could cause headaches. Liszt, after washing up, pushed these issues aside for now and had a simple breakfast with Ach.
Then they continued on their journey.
His great endeavor to ride the Mountain Copper Dragon was currently the most important thing.
There were many tributaries in the upper reaches of the Rhine River, but luckily the main channel was quite broad. Soaring along the river, by the end of May, they finally arrived at a vast and endless mountain range. This mountain range had many branches, but the mountains themselves appeared fractured—a characteristic of the Rupture Mountains.
"Ach, we have arrived, this is the Rupture Mountains," Liszt said, taking out a map from his Space Ring, "According to the map given to me by Duke Pierrot, within the Rupture Mountains, there is a particular range of ridges that are arranged like knife blades, easy to tell apart."
The Rupture Mountains were vast, perhaps as large as a province on Earth.

Even searching on dragon-back was not an easy task, but time was something Liszt had enough of. From high in the sky, he conducted a slow reconnaissance, needing only to locate the strip-like mountain range.
Not letting Light Green Gem Dragon Ethan follow, he and Ach rode Formless Dragon Bard, slipping into the material boundary.
Bard was exceedingly fast, had incredibly broad vision, could become invisible, and reduced its scent to avoid alarming the Mountain Copper Dragons.
The following noon,
Suddenly, a mountain range with a distinctive shape appeared in their view.
"Brother, isn't that the strip-like mountain range over there? It looks a lot like a row of knife blades," Ach pointed out.
The Formless Dragon turned its head, and within the Crystal White Trajectory of its vision, it caught sight of bright golden light shining amidst the mountains.
Because the distance was quite far, over a hundred kilometers, the shape of the golden yellow light couldn't be discerned clearly.
However, Liszt could confirm that this was where the Mountain Copper Dragon resided. Only Superior Magic could present such a gorgeous aura within the Crystal White Trajectory, "Found it!" As the Formless Dragon drew nearer, Liszt also caught the unique scent of the Mountain Copper Dragon.
He was certain that it was a dragon.
"Big brother, what do we do next?" Ach asked.
"Wait until I call Ethan over. Have Leo and Ethan distract the Mountain Copper Dragon first; then, I'll capture that traitor Andre!" Liszt's eyes flashed with a plan he thought brilliant, though it was indeed quite reckless.
In any case, it was about going forth and doing it.
Three dragons, one Archmage, one Dragon Knight. Even though the Mountain Copper Dragon was mighty, having routed the White Maw Iron Dragon Knight, it still couldn't possibly withstand such a luxurious lineup. Especially since after over a month of training, Leo's growth had been meteoric, strong and robust, much more so than when it sneak-attacked the Grey Iron Dragon.

Ethan, who was far away making repairs, suddenly rose and soared. It couldn't hide its own aura, so when it approached within a hundred kilometers of the Mountain Copper Dragon, the golden yellow light quickly made a move but did not flee from the bar-shaped mountains—the concept of territory is not strong among dragons, but a fight was inevitable with the approach of a strange dragon.
"Roar!"
Ethan, too, sensed the presence of the Mountain Copper Dragon and let out a dragon's chant, rushing directly towards the Mountain Copper Dragon. Beside it, with Liszt riding the Formless Dragon Bard, the hundred kilometers were crossed in a moment, and by now the Formless Dragon's presence clearly could not be concealed.
Yet the Mountain Copper Dragon still did not flee.
Within the Crystal White View, the Mountain Copper Dragon hadn't even unfolded its flight posture.
Clearly, it was highly confident in its own strength, not believing that two dragons could overcome its impregnable scales.
"Hoo-roar!"
A domineering roar sounded from within the bar-shaped mountain range, the Mountain Copper Dragon warning Ethan and Bard, the two intruders—no need to learn the dragon language to clearly understand the warning implicit in it.
"Roar!"
"Woo-rii-ah!"
Ethan and Bard refused to show weakness, continuing to fly at high speed and closing in on the other dragon.
When the distance had shrunken to just ten kilometers, the Mountain Copper Dragon finally stood up, wings unfolding. With a gentle flap of the massive dragon wings and powerful striding of sturdy hind legs, the dragon's body was already soaring into the air, coming to meet Ethan and Bard. Within the Crystal White View, it was an overwhelming stance.
"Such a big dragon!" Liszt was shocked inwardly; even having heard Duke Pierrot mention that the Mountain Copper Dragon was incredibly large, far bigger than Iron Dragons.
Seeing it with his own eyes was shocking nonetheless.
The wingspan of this Mountain Copper Dragon was definitely over seventy meters, perhaps even reaching eighty meters. It was likely that no dragon's wingspan was larger than this below the Elemental Dragons.
"Oh-roar!"
Suddenly, another domineering roar forcefully intervened in the standoff between the three dragons. Little Fire Dragon Leo had entered the fray. It felt the Mountain Copper Dragon's dominance, filled with anger inside—no dragon can be arrogant in front of a grown Fire Dragon with a hundred-meter wingspan, even if it was still a juvenile Fire Dragon.
Boom!
The flames dissipated, revealing Leo's fleshly form, which had reached a wingspan and length of thirty-five meters, just a size smaller than the Light Green Gem Dragon with a wingspan of forty-five meters.
The black-red scales shimmered in the play of light and shadow.
Without any fear, it charged at the Mountain Copper Dragon, shrouded in glittering golden scales, even more eye-catching than those of a Golden Dragon, ignoring the sizable disparity between their forms, charging forth like this.
