Chapter 121: Adva and Terrifying Illusion

  After fully adjusting, feeling the more surging power within his body, Cassius looked at the panel again, where tless notifications of earned experience points filled the s.

  [You killed 【White Lion Knight - Tarik】, gaining 2100xp]

  [You killed 【Northwind Eagle Guard Captain - Narin】, gaining 1800xp]

  [You killed 【Northwind Eagle Guard Captain - Atra】, gaining 1800xp]

  [You killed 【Silver Hand - Ter】, gaining 1200xp]

  [You killed 【t Robert】, gaining 1200xp]

  …

  [You killed 【Supply Soldier】, gaining 0.5xp]

  [You killed 【Supply Soldier】, gaining 0.5xp]

  [You killed 【Peasant Auxiliary】, gaining 0.25xp]

  …

  A total of over ten thousand lines of data refreshed.

  At the forefrohe high-ranking generals in the allied forces, padins, spellcasters, followed by various elite soldiers, and finally tless ordinary soldiers and borers.

  Due to Cassius's high life level, the experience provided by those too weak was negligible, but little by little, it accumuted to something signifit.

  "Whoa—so much?"

  Cassius was somewhat surprised.

  The amount of data in front of him far exceeded his expectations.

  In the final paatistics, Cassius gained over 63,000 experience. Even though the red dragoe made leveling up extremely difficult, this massive amount of experience was enough to let him level up four times in one go.

  However, Cassius did not io do so.

  Rashly accepting untrolble power is very risky.

  Even the spellcasting abilities he mastered after his previous sleep, he had just barely digested and achieved basitrol over.

  [Select to increase 【True Dragon Sorcerer】 level]

  [Your 【True Dragon Sorcerer】 level has increased to 8]

  [You gaihe additional dragon trait: 【Hard Landing】]

  【Hard Landing】

  Prerequisites: Hover, Flip

  If an injury or spell attack renders it uo fly, an experienced dragon take an emergency method to maintain its dignity. Dragons with this feat always find the best way to minimize damage in any fall.

  Cassius nodded slightly; at least this trait could be of some use in bat.

  [You gained a special attribute point and increase one of your own attributes by 1 (including beyond 20)]

  [Choose to increase Charisma to 25]

  A familiar feeling once again enveloped his body, soul, and spirit.

  His influen reality deepened further, making him feel like a master of the world, able to manipute the Weave with a mere gesture.

  It is said that when attributes like Charisma and Intelligence reach thirty, one access the Source Sea through sheer will, reag a new spellcasting realm far beyond mortal abilities, though no pyer had ever reached it in his previous life.

  Cassius took a deep breath, sensing his e to the world, while secretly praying for a useful spell.

  Yet, he did not call upon ay.

  [Gaih-level dragon spell 【Dragon's Vitality】]

  【Dragon's Vitality】

  5th-level juration Spell

  A golden ray shoots up from the grouh you, bathing you in a pilr of healing light with swirling yellow particles. This spell transforms are energy into pure dragon vitality, guiding it to repair the damage to your body.

  Cassius immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

  He had acquired a highly funal healing spell, which could indeed save his life when fag powerful enemies.

  But the spell that followed made his face turn serious.

  [Gaih-level dragon spell 【Tiamat's Terrifying Illusion】]

  【Tiamat's Terrifying Illusion】

  6th-level Illusion Spell

  The target creature sees an illusion of Tiamat, the Dragon Queen. Unless its will is extraordinarily strong, it will believe the illusion is real and that it is about to bee her target in a barrage of multiple breath attacks.

  Creatures believing this illusion will see fire, ice, acid, lightning, and poison flowing from "Tiamat's" mouth towards them. Only those with suffitly stroal resilience withstand the sight without dying from fear. The illusion is so terrifying that even those with strong wills will suffer severe mental blows.

  "Tiamat's Illusion..."

  "Is this a ce? Or did the Five-colored Dragon Queen do this deliberately?"

  Cassius pondered, his expression gradually freezing.

  Although the Aa Wastend is just a remote er he, insignifit in the Prime Material Pne.

  But as a red dragon rumored to be favored by the Dragon Queen, Cassius’s performance may indeed have attracted the attention of that evil Dragon Queen. After all, the terrifying illusion had appeared in his mind shortly after he entered Erezaghe.

  Now he ahe Storm Highnds, and he was even about to take over the entire La Duchy, barely meeting the threshold to be a ckey of the Dragon Queen.

  "This spell is certainly powerful."

  "But unless absolutely necessary, it’s best not to use it recklessly."

  He didn’t believe that the true god depicted in the illusion wouldn’t notice when he summo; this was simply nonsense.

  Cassius didn’t want to enter the Dragon Queeurely while he was still retively weak; that would only make him a plete pawn.

  "Tiamat."

  "Rather than a pawn, I’d rather be the rebellious 'son' that repces her."

  Cassius thought silently.

  Of course, such bsphemous thoughts were best kept to himself; he would never speak them aloud.

  The castihod of "Tiamat's Terrifying Illusion" appeared in Cassius’s mind, with the menag images of the Five-colored Dragon Queen seeming to watch everything, making him feel somewhat uneasy. Cassius tried to build a fortress within his memory, sealing it away for now, refraining from using it.

  If he could refuse, he would even rather give up this 6th-level spell.

  Even after sealing it, Cassius still felt somewhat uled, uo rest peacefully.

  "Langpu."

  The red dragon called out to the magic mirror in the cave.

  At his call, Langpu’s ugly face appeared on the mirror, his expression humble and respectful.

  After that dreadful disaster, he had gained a more direderstanding of the red dragon's power, and his reverence had deepened.

  "Great Master, do you have any orders?"

  Cassius anded, "Find a vat cave withiorm Highnds and pce a shrio Her Majesty Tiamat inside. Have people regurly send a few gold s as a gesture of respect."

  He paused for a moment before adding a reminder:

  "Additionally, make sure this pce is far fron Valley."

  Langpu accepted the and with pleasure and replied respectfully, "Yes, Master."

  The dragre mage cut off the magical image and couldn’t help but marvel, "The Master is truly generous a, precious gold s to Her Majesty the Dragon Queen; no wonder he possesses such mighty power."

  However, Cassius, sidering the typical greed ons, po switch the gold s to less noticeable copper s ter on—which had nothing to do with stinginess.
