Chapter 61 Awakening (Part )

Several dragon spells appeared in Cassius' mind. He could now cast these exquisite spells like an artist. This was the innate talent of a true dragon sorcerer.

The magical nature of dragons makes their every move seem to be casting spells, and thus dragon sorcerers have derived a variety of spells such as scratching, flying, hatching, and breathing.

"It is indeed the Dragon Spell."

"It's really suitable for a dragon."

Cassius exclaimed.

For example, scratching would be a completely useless trick if used by any mortal, but combined with the dragon's already powerful claw attack, it can become a very effective ranged attack method, and it also costs nothing.

"Scratching Technique!"

A flickering magic force field that was vaguely in the shape of a claw materialized in front of the red dragon. As he swung his claws vigorously, the magical power was directed toward the stone pillars in the distance.

Suddenly, stone chips flew everywhere in the distance, and three scratches several feet deep appeared on the stone pillar. Then, the fragile middle of the stone pillar could not bear the weight of the upper part, and it fell to the ground with a loud bang, breaking into pieces of stone.

"The power is pretty good."

Cassius nodded with great satisfaction and exhaled a breath of hot, sulfurous air.

"And this fourth-ring spell"

He had never touched the fourth layer of the magic network before.

Compared with ordinary fourth-ring spells, [Fire and Water] is even more complicated because it is a hybrid spell of conjuration and evocation.

Transmuting the body into flames and reconstructing it with flames is an extremely sophisticated form of evocation, while teleporting oneself to any area covered by the breath of fire is a form of conjuration similar to the Phantom Step.

"Through fire and water!"

As the dragon language was spoken, Cassius took a deep breath and exhaled a large amount of flames.

When the last bit of energy left his mouth, his huge body merged directly into the raging flames, becoming a complete incarnation of fire.

"boom!"

A ball of fire condensed into a huge dragon shape, but it hit the stone wall, causing the entire cave to rumble and a lot of rubble to fall.

"What a complicated spell, it has to take into account both fire and teleportation at the same time."

"Right now, we can't fully control the location of the transmission."

"Hiss...it hurts a bit."

Cassius shook his aching head and muttered to himself. Fortunately, the red dragon had thick skin and didn't care about this small collision.

Although a warlock's spellcasting is not as rigorous as a wizard's, he still needs to understand the operating principles and coordinate and control them.

After testing a series of newly acquired abilities, Cassius completely recovered from the drowsiness of waking up from a deep sleep and became inexplicably excited.

My strength has improved so much, how can I not experiment?

"I slept for so long—"

"It's time to go out and take a look."

The red dragon stepped out of the cave and stepped directly over the several guard inscriptions that Rumple had set up earlier.

When these inscriptions are triggered, rune explosions will occur, but Rumple has set the Red Dragon outside of their triggering conditions.

Walking through the dark underground passage, the originally spacious passage now seemed a bit narrow for him.

Finally, the red dragon saw the sunlight which he had not seen for a long time.

"Roar--"

Cassius couldn't help but let out a brisk dragon roar.

The Burning Nest in front of him had undergone an almost earth-shaking change compared to before he fell asleep.

The rock fortress at the entrance of the valley had been reinforced many times and was as indestructible as its name. The wall was more than ten meters high and three meters thick, equipped with catapults, giant crossbows and other weapons. The hobgoblin guards were on the wall, ready for battle.

There are many towering watchtowers on both sides, with sharp-eyed lizardmen archers stationed on them, guarding against all invaders. There are also many wide wooden platforms on the hillside for flying dragons to take off and land.

Inside the Burning Nest, several wooden military barracks were built, using standard goblin-style structures to house the most elite hobgoblin troops.

Deep in the valley, a tall stone tower stands tall, with magical light flickering on it. It can be seen that the designer wanted to build it elegant and beautiful, but it gives people the feeling of "trying to draw a tiger but end up drawing a dog".

"Mage Tower?" "This guy Trump...his aesthetics really needs to be improved."

Cassius looked at the ugly "Mage Tower" - especially the entrance that looked like a big mouth, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

The followers of the Burning Nest, the guarding hobgoblins, lizardmen, and ogres carrying items, couldn't help but raise their heads and look towards the source of the sound when they heard the sound.

What followed was a sensation.

"what sound?"

"This is……"

After sleeping for five long years, some of the followers who joined later have never even seen the true face of Cassius, and only remember the huge noise caused by the red dragon's sleep.

"It's the master!"

"The master has awakened!"

"So big and strong."

"My Lord Magrubiye, this is the first time I have seen such a huge dragon."

"I really didn't come to the wrong place."

Cassius looked down at these followers from above.

Their number has increased a lot compared to before he fell asleep, and most of them have completed the transformation into half-dragon monsters, with dragon characteristics such as scales, claws, etc. appearing on their bodies.

From the stone tower in the distance, a huge figure flew over somewhat clumsily - it was Trump.

"Flying technique?"

Cassius looked at the ogre mage who was not very skilled in flying in the distance with a slightly surprised expression.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo... Master, you, you finally woke up."

Trump landed with a bang, still gasping for breath.

Cassius looked the ogre up and down and found that he was fatter and stronger than before.

He was no longer wearing simple animal skins, but a wide robe made of several magic cloaks sewn together, and he had several rings on his hands - it could be seen that they were human magic bracelets.

Cassius smiled and said:
"Rump, I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to be much richer now. You can even build a wizard tower."

Rump quickly bowed his head and replied, "Master, these things are your wealth, obtained from those reckless adventurers."

"Please report the basic situation of Burnout Nest."

"Yes, Master."

Trump used the spells he had prepared long ago to release projections on the wall.

Just like a company manager in his previous life, he reported various situations of Burnt Nest to the Red Dragon - this was what Cassius had taught him before, and he called it "PPT". Trump liked this elegant way very much.

In this report, Trump counted the status of the territory and dependents, the progress of mining and smelting metals, the scale of taming wild beasts, and even mentioned the city of Batto which was still under construction.

“I have to say, it’s well done.”

Cassius praised sincerely, thinking that this ogre was truly talented. Although the report was crude in many aspects, it was already an exaggeration for an ogre to be able to achieve this.

Hearing the red dragon's praise, the dragon vein ogre seemed very happy:

"This is all thanks to you, Master. It is under your protection that we have achieved this small success."

"drop……"

There was a sound coming from the ogre's "ring", and his expression suddenly became excited.

Cassius looked at his ugly face that was filled with inexplicable excitement and asked in confusion:

"Trump, what's going on?"

"Master, my alert spell has been triggered! Another adventurer is coming!"

Trump's face showed the joy of an old farmer with a good harvest. It seemed that he had gained a lot from those adventurers.
