"I always feel like my luck is especially good today. Could it be that I'm going to draw a second nine-ring spell?"

Cassius stared closely at the panel that was about to refresh the information, his light golden eyes full of greed and anticipation.

What kind of magic will you get?

He held his breath again.

Finally, under the red dragon's eager anticipation, new information appeared on the panel. However, after seeing the first line of words, Cassius's dragon face suddenly became gloomy.

[You obtain 1-ring dragon spell——[Dragon Saliva]]
Dragon Spit

1-level power spell

A dragon that activates this spell exhales beads of the same material as its breath weapon: a red dragon exhales balls of fire, a blue dragon exhales balls of lightning, a green dragon exhales balls of gas, and so on.

This bead is called "Ambergris" and can be used as an extremely valuable magical material. It can also be thrown to produce effects similar to breath.

The glaring words "1 ring" made Cassius deeply feel the world's malice and felt greatly insulted.

As soon as he read the spell description, he could guess that this was another true dragon sorcerer who was so greedy for money that he did not hesitate to make magic equipment with his own saliva and exchange it all for gold coins.

There are many similar spells in the [Dragon Spells] list of the True Dragon Warlock. They are usually used to make money, save money, or even rob money in various strange ways - fully reflecting the dragon's greed for treasure.

The local dragons might give considerable praise to these spells, but Cassius only gave them a very low evaluation:

Pollute the card pool.

Pure pollution of the card pool.

As the emperor of the Burning Empire, he owns the entire Anzeta Wasteland and is also a major shareholder of companies such as [Claude Military Industrial Group], [Imperial South Continent Trading Company], and [Burning Textile Company]. Cassius earns tens of thousands of gold coins every day.

It can be said that with Cassius' current wealth, picking up a gold coin when he sees it fall on the ground is a waste of time for him.

Not to mention spending time making the so-called "ambergris".

The use of first-level spells.

This spell had just been acquired, but it was still easy for Cassius to use now.

Cassius activated the spell with disdain, injected a wisp of breath energy into the spell, and spit out several fiery red round beads in succession.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

He threw it out, causing a violent explosion in the distance. Because his breath was far more powerful than that of an ordinary red dragon, the bead also released the power of a third or fourth ring spell.

"Not much use."

Cassius looked at the explosion crater in the distance and said impatiently.

At his legendary level, low- and mid-ring spells of the third and fourth rings were barely more effective than tickling, and even upgrading the rings did not significantly improve the spellcasting.

"Haha, let's try the second spell."

Cassius shook his head helplessly, slowly closed his eyes, and began to concentrate.

The ninth-level protection and energy-shaping spells are quite complicated even when cast in the form of a warlock's charm casting.

Fortunately, Cassius's spellcasting level has now reached 20, and his charm attribute has exceeded 32 points, reaching a new realm beyond ordinary things. His comprehensive spellcasting ability has surpassed most legendary warlocks.

In just a few breaths, Cassius understood everything about [Dragon's Absorption] and released and poured out all his powerful influence on reality.

"That's it."

"Try full power?"

Cassius slowly opened his jaw. As he breathed, a turbulent flow of energy gradually formed in his bloody mouth, and it became more and more intense under the influence of the spell.

Finally, a vortex of energy with tremendous power appeared deep in the red dragon's throat, like a bottomless abyss, greedily sucking all the surrounding magical energy into its mouth.

The hurricane was blowing violently.

Everything around me is calling out.

The grass and trees withered because of the loss of life, the soil was stripped of moisture and cracked, the jumping insects turned into empty shells, and the remaining fire element in the deep pit formed by the explosion was also sucked away.
Everything around me becomes fragile.

And all the magical energy was gathered in Cassius' mouth.

"Gudong."

The sound of swallowing was heard, and Cassius converted them all into his own energy, and then opened his mouth again to release them.

A dazzling light burst out from the throat.

"boom!"

The fireball transformed from the absorbed energy caused wildfires in the surrounding area, ashes were everywhere, and a charred black pit more than ten meters wide was smashed into the ground.

And this is just the effect of drawing on the ordinary energy around.

If his [Dragon Drain] could absorb high-level spells, the power it produced would be even more terrifying.

But these are still secondary. What is more important is that this is a new way for Cassius to counter spells, and he can also use this method to replenish his own energy and counterattack.

Although not many enemies can outlast Cassius who possesses the heart of the ancestral dragon, this does not prevent him from becoming a "perpetual motion machine" in a protracted battle through [Dragon Absorption] and adding more trump cards to himself.

“A very practical spell.”

Cassius looked around at the mess around him, and finally felt a little relieved from the resentment of drawing a first-level spell.

The red dragon shook his head.

"Tsk, I was so busy experimenting with spells that I almost forgot what I was supposed to do today."

He looked into the distance, and with the help of the power of the [Eye of Omniscience] and the [Heavenly Tribulation Dragon Eye], his sight passed through the mountains and reached dozens of miles away.

“This should be it”

"The Lost Valley."

Between two tall and steep peaks is a deep and silent valley, which is shrouded in dense black forest and surrounded by a light mist.

A sudden gust of wind blew past, without the sound of rustling leaves, but it brought an eerie wailing sound.

Lost Valley.

This place is called the forbidden zone for the living, and no one can survive from it.

It is said that false illusions often appear in the valley, which can show people what they desire most in their hearts. Countless paranoid adventurers have entered the valley for this reason, but have sunk into it and never come out again.

Only when the north wind blows, can the wronged souls wandering in the valley feel the existence of the outside world and thus make low calls.

As time went by, no one dared to approach there, and the surrounding residents even often used it to scare their children so that they did not dare to go out easily.

No one knows what is in the valley.

But Cassius, who had memories of his past life, knew very well that there was a lich living in the Lost Valley.

This was one of the hidden bosses in the troubled Northland in the previous life. This lich, dormant for hundreds of years, almost caused a natural disaster of undead that swept across the Principality of Carter and even the entire Northland, but was stopped by the player at the last moment.
