Chapter 220 Promotion and Magic Decline

“It’s a really fascinating power.”

Cassius couldn't help but sigh that in front of those illusions of ancestral dragons, even Tiamat's terrifying body seemed to be lacking something.

But he guessed that the Dragon Queen was probably not in her current form in ancient times. How could the god of dragons who ruled the world be just an ordinary weak god?

But this is just his speculation.

Cassius looked at the panel again, and then many pieces of information were refreshed.

[You killed [Dragon Mad Black Wizard - Wagnader (Challenge Level: 16)], and obtained 15000xp]
[You killed the [White Dragon Transformed into a Centaur].]
[You killed the [White Dragon Transformed into a Jackal].]
[You killed [Wagnad's Dragon Madness (Challenge Level: 19)] and obtained 22000 XP]
This time, destroying the Midnight Demon Tower gave him a huge amount of experience, a total of 50,000, plus the 20,000 experience gained from killing [Winter Incarnation of Solem] not long ago, which was enough for him to advance to the next level, and even a lot of surplus. This experience mainly came from Wagnerd and the monsters he transformed into, and the dragon-like monsters killed on the way also accumulated a lot of experience.

If Cassius was an ordinary player template, without level restrictions, these experiences would be enough for him to reach level 15 in one go.

[You choose to upgrade [True Dragon Warlock] to level 12]
[Since dragons are born to cast spells, your current caster level is: 15]
Cassius couldn't help but lick his lips in anticipation, sulfurous smoke wafting from his nostrils.

The spellcaster level has reached fifteen, which is a new step for the True Dragon Warlock. It means that he can cast eighth-ring spells without external help.

Exploring to the eighth layer of the magic network is a realm that countless mages cannot reach in their entire lives.

[Get additional dragon spell [Magic Withering]]
【Magic Withering】

8th level conjuration
[The dragon fires a ray of antimagic energy from one raised claw. The dragon must make a ranged touch attack roll to hit a target creature. If successful, the ray dispels all effects of spells, spell-like effects, or magic items on that target creature. In addition, magic items carried by the target are permanently unmagical unless they succeed at a Will save.]
Cassius's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Anti-magic, removes magical effects, and demagiques magical items.

"Is this the dragon version of Mordenkainen's Disintegration?"

[Magic Duncan's Disintegration] was a well-known spell in the previous life. There were even suicidal mage players who sneaked into a certain god's church and broke the holy grail enshrined in the church into ordinary water cups. As a result, they "got what they wanted" and triggered the god's curse.

He was hunted down hundreds of times by legendary figures of the church, who guarded his corpse. In the end, he signed a slave contract and agreed to work for three hundred years before he barely survived.

And this is also an extremely powerful means for Cassius.

[Spell Invalidation Barrier] can only block the effects of spells below the fifth level, and has long been unable to keep up with the improvement of his combat level.

You have to know that his current enemies are all close to legendary levels like the Frost Giant Chieftain and Wagnader, who have countless methods above the sixth ring, and [Magic Atrophy] will undoubtedly bring a qualitative leap to his anti-magic ability.

If he had possessed the magic atrophy before, there would be no need for him to collect intelligence with Trump and make all kinds of calculations. He could just push down the Midnight Demon Tower directly.

[Get additional dragon spell [All-Seeing Eye]]
【All-Seeing Eye】

4th-level divination, evocation
[The dragon's eyes briefly flash brightly, causing its mind to open to every object nearby.

You gain great vision, which allows you to clearly see everything in the surrounding area and is immune to blinding effects.

Additionally, if you have vision of the target, you can cast faerie fire on any nearby invisible creature or object, but doing so immediately ends all-seeing eye.]
"It's a very interesting spell, a combination of divination and transmutation. Although the spell level is not high, the effect is obvious." This is Cassius' evaluation.

Although the Heavenly Tribulation Dragon Eye is good, it is a seventh-ring spell after all. With his spellcasting level, he can only cast it twice a day. The Eye of All-Seeing undoubtedly makes up for the deficiency. In certain situations where "there is no point in killing a chicken with a butcher's knife", it can work wonders and save his already limited spell slots.

As the information was refreshed, vast magical knowledge flooded into Cassius' mind, causing his brain, which had just recovered from resisting the dragon's madness, to ache slightly.

Although he had already cast eight or even nine-ring spells with the help of the Eye of the Storm King, that was after all with the help of external power. He was more like an indirect fool-like manipulator, casting spells through the medium of the Eye of the Storm King. But now he needed to completely rely on his own will to control the casting of the eight-ring spell. There was a world of difference between the two.

It was only a few months ago that he first mastered the seventh-ring spell, and his progress could be said to have been a rocket-like rise.

As a dragon warlock, the number of spells he memorized far exceeds that of ordinary warlocks.

You know, ordinary warlocks are specialized in a few spells, and are more like magic turrets. Although they only need to output influence and cast spells with their own confidence and are nicknamed "barbarians with staffs" by mages, this also requires mastery and understanding of spells as support.

To put it simply.

It’s just that Cassius’ intelligence is not enough.

Fortunately, this is level 12, and he still has the opportunity to improve his attributes every four levels.

[Your class level increases to 12th, and you can choose 2 common attributes, 1 special attribute (for attributes above 20), or an additional feat.]
[Choose to increase intelligence to 16]
As the invisible power surged into his mind, Kexiu suddenly felt his mind clear, and his memory, analytical ability, and logical thinking ability had all improved qualitatively. His intelligence finally leaped to - close to the level of Trump, who was just starting out seven years ago, although it sounds a bit strange.

His headache was slightly relieved.

Cassius carefully browsed through the [Magic Atrophy] in his mind. This eighth-ring dragon spell was indeed somewhat similar to the spell-nullifying barrier, but its complexity was increased exponentially.

It would probably take him several months to fully master this spell.

After all, the red dragon itself can be considered a magical creature. If it doesn't master magic well and gets disintegrated by an anti-magic ray, it will definitely become a new red dragon joke that will make Bahamut laugh and be widely circulated among metal dragons.

"Phew, it's finally over."

After the red dragon digested the basic knowledge of the spell, it came back to its senses and slowly opened its eyes.

But he was surprised to find that Tinya had licked his front paws clean. Those slender claws even emitted a shiny luster, and her rough tongue had rubbed the surface of the claws to the point of forming a patina.

"Ow~"

The white dragon was looking up at him with an innocent face, its tongue slightly exposed, its tail swaying from side to side, and its eyes full of attentiveness.

Cassius: “.”

It seems that the wild white dragon is indeed uneducated and must be thoroughly transformed!
