Dragon of Catastrophe

Chapter 74: Cast a Long Line to Catch a Big Fish


The elder watched carefully, his eyes occasionally flashing with brilliant light, and couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.

"An interesting giant dragon."

He muttered softly, and his voice sounded extremely amiable and calm.

He slowly rolled up the parchment again, a ball of flame appeared out of nowhere, and in a moment, it burned the parchment to ashes.

The elder sat back at the wooden table and wrote on a piece of white paper:

"Give a long line to catch a big fish."

Afterward, the white paper emitted a brilliant blue glow, retreated into the void, and disappeared without a trace.

The elder quietly resumed reading his book...

Thus, a month later.

Outside the Green Forest.

On the sparse grasslands.

A group of casters, half-beastmen, and elves gathered together, watching the giant dragon ahead.

Only to see the giant dragon open its mouth, with fiery red light flickering inside, and a ball of flame quickly formed and flew towards the distant grassland!

Bam!!

The moment the fireball touched the grassland, it burst into dozens or hundreds of small flames, devouring the surroundings within twenty to thirty meters completely.

The fire continued persistently until the grass was burned dry, revealing a patch of blackened ground.

"It's a decent improvement. When I gathered the fireball, I clearly felt the magic power surging within and merging into it.

This time, the power of the fireball is significantly larger than usual; it should be close to the strength of a fourth-ring spell.

However, the gathering speed is a bit slow! The firing speed of the fireball is also quite slow, but overall, it's stronger than those previous failures.

Well done! I remember you're called Ah Lumu?"

The giant dragon rubbed the scales on its chin and turned to speak to a nearby caster who appeared to be nearly forty years old.

Upon hearing this, the caster immediately showed a delighted expression and said:

"Honorable Land! This improvement is thanks to the help of many colleagues! Without them, I couldn't have achieved this by myself!"

His expression was full of pride and confidence.

He was the fifth caster to submit an improved spell, and his was the best among them.

Originally, he wasn't exceptionally outstanding among all casters, but he collaborated with other equally ordinary casters in research, which made his improvement leap temporarily to the forefront.

"Although it's good, it's still far from my expected outcome.

If no one can surpass your result, I'll first give you a portion of Gold Taler as a reward!"

"Thank you, generous giant dragon!"

The caster showed a satisfied smile.

The other casters all showed a hint of envy.

"Hey, hey, hey, is this considered good? It looks weak! To be honest, Land, you don't really need to learn such spells! It's far inferior to your breath.

By the way, they've only made this kind of thing in a month, these humans are really too incompetent?"

But at this moment, a different voice appeared, and a Xiao Female Dragon looked at the casters with disdain.

She was a pure red dragon who revered her own power and really despised spellcasting.

This made several casters on one side a bit embarrassed.

But they were secretly angry in their hearts.

This little dragon kid, what's with her? Why is her mouth so foul?

What does she mean by calling us incompetent? If you're so great, why don't you do it yourself? Why spend money to hire us?

The Little Black Dragon grinned on the side, seemingly also unimpressed by such spells.

Land lightly glanced at the foolish Xiao Female Dragon.

He directly spat at her face, giving her a wash, realizing she might have said something wrong, she quickly retreated silently, activating stealth mode.

One by one, the casters continued to submit their own works, but one by one, none were even as good as Ah Lumu.

This slightly disappointed Land, but it was still acceptable.

At least it proved that even slightly talented casters gathering together did have some effect.

Perhaps with more time, if one year doesn't work, then two years, or five years if two don't work, or even ten years.

Would they eventually research the spell he needs?

As a giant dragon, his lifespan is long, and he can afford to wait.

He was ready to accept failure in his heart.

"Lord Land! Try mine next!"

A voice pulled him back to reality.

Land glanced at him, messy and somewhat yellowish hair, an ordinary blue mage's robe.

This guy, isn't he that daring caster named Amos?

Land had a deep impression of him.

He casually took the sheet of paper from him and began to examine it.

The more he looked, the more interested he became.

This guy modified the skill model so significantly, he actually changed the Fireball Skill from the original 189 nodes to a full 287 nodes.

A full 30-40 more nodes than other casters.

But overall, it still had some commonality with other skill models.

This made it very easy for him to condense the skill model in his mental sea.

Then, he began to experiment.

In the slightly opened dragon mouth, accompanied by a gentle inhalation, scarlet ionic streams surged, and a fireball rapidly expanded until it reached a diameter of one meter and then shot out!

Boom!!!

Hundreds of meters away, the fireball landed, instantly scattering into countless flames, covering at least seventy meters around completely!

The raging sea of fire burned the sparse grass to ashes, and the ground turned a fiery red.

Seeing this scene, the caster named Ah Lumu's expression dramatically changed.

"Not bad!"

Land's eyes brightened, making an evaluation.

"Your improved spell, in terms of performance, far exceeds Ah Lumu's! Not only is the power stronger, equivalent to fifth-ring spells, but the spellcasting speed and the fireball's flying speed are also much faster!

Did you do this alone?"

Land asked in amazement.

"Yes! Lord Land, I did this all by myself." Amos bowed slightly with a smile.

He seemed to be in a particularly good mood.

Clap, clap, clap...

Land stood upright, gently clapping his forelimbs.

"This is truly unexpected from a dragon, one person achieved what several others couldn't, to put it simply.

You... are a genius! That's great!"

"Thank you for your praise, Lord Land!"

"However... this still hasn't reached the level that satisfies me, Amos!"

"Of course! In fact, this spell still has many areas that need modification, it's just that time was too rushed, and what you see before you is still an unfinished product."

"Oh? Not bad! Not bad! Although I don't know what your finished product will be like, I would like to suggest some requirements.

If you can accomplish them all, I definitely won't be stingy with your reward!

First, the fireball combined with the Dragon Breath shouldn't have a limit! Do you understand this?

It should have unlimited possibilities as the magic power gathers! Unlimited power!

You might think of ways to stack and increase the magic power.

Also, during the explosion, don't you think the impact force generated is too weak?

In my view, this aspect might be closer to the Flame Burst Skill.

Using flame impact to inflict dual damage on the enemy!"
