Volume 3: Artifacts Chapter 138 Magic vs. Magic
King Soto and King Taotie were fighting in the air with their pure magic power. They did not dodge or sneak attack. It was a pure face-to-face confrontation. It was a competition of their own magical strength and endurance.
King Taotie's performance at this moment completely exceeded King Soto's expectations.
In his opinion, the Taotie Pattern King had not completed the inheritance. Even if the inheritance was completed, it would be impossible for the newly born ancient dragon to reach its full strength so quickly.
Therefore, when the fight started, Silver Ice Dragon King Soto wanted to fight with all his strength. He thought that King Taotie would never dare to fight him head-on, and could only dodge and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. In this way, he not only took the initiative in the whole fight, but also reduced King Taotie's prestige in the Dragon Kingdom when he was dodging.
The king of the Dragon Kingdom must be a powerful dragon, and powerful in all aspects.
But King Soto did not expect that King Taotie would not only fight him head-on with magic, but also that the magic he cast would be on par with his own in terms of intensity and magic power supply speed.
How is this possible?
King Soto increased the output of magic power, and the center of the ice arrow turned into an ice spear. The arrows on the edge flew out in an arc and shot towards King Taotie with a larger area, stronger attack and more spears .
Luke also increased the output of magic energy, and the electric chain turned into an electric pillar, continuing to maintain the pulling.
In the center of the magic collision, the magic energy impacted and annihilated, tearing countless cracks in the space and causing a spreading explosion.
The entire battle airspace became extremely unstable, and some ice and lightning magic were automatically cast out out of nothing.
The dragon kings responsible for protecting the King's Dragon Lair cast a protective spell together to prevent King's Peak from being destroyed by such intense magic.
At the same time, all the dragons present were also surprised at the strength displayed by King Taotie. Even among the ancient dragons, there were only a few who could directly fight against the Silver Ice Dragon King Soto with magic.
How did a Dragon King who had not yet completed his inheritance do this?
In fact, Luke did not borrow too much power from Taotie, its inheritance was not yet complete, and its comprehensive strength had just entered the six-star stage. The strength of the Silver Ice Dragon King Soto was definitely one of the strongest in the world, even if it was weaker than the Sword of Oath, it was not much worse.
The reason why Luke dared to compete with the Silver Ice Dragon King Soto in magical power was entirely because he had completed the full injection of the potion "Aria of the Fire Cloud Tide Song".
"Aria of the Song of the Fire Cloud Tide" is indeed the strongest permanent magic power-enhancing mysterious substance potion developed by players, which has brought Luke, who has just entered the six-star gate, to the peak in one fell swoop. Moreover, the fire attribute magic power enhancement brought by "Aria of the Song of the Fire Cloud Tide" can make the fire dye lightning show the characteristics of lightning after being transformed by the Thunder Fire Eye.
Therefore, after Luke increased the output of magic power, the originally light purple lightning turned into crimson purple, and at the same time became more violent, causing a greater explosion. Soon the entire airspace was filled with jumping crimson purple electric sparks, and the sound of explosions continued.
The violence of King Taotie was fully displayed in front of the Dragon Kings.
Even the dragons frolicking in the sea saw a vision at the top of King's Peak. A purple ball of light stood on the tip of the mountain and grew brighter and brighter.
At this moment, a dazzling luminous body formed between King Soto and King Taotie. The two dragon kings' unyielding magical energy output caused the luminous body to expand rapidly.
All the dragons in the King's Dragon Nest became nervous, and more and more dragons joined in protecting the King's Peak.
At this time, King Soto roared like a dragon, and a large block of ice formed in the sky. The ice fell towards King Taotie, and it grew rapidly as it fell, and soon became a meteorite as big as a hill.
The Taotie King threw a spear made of lightning into the air, and the electric spear shot upwards towards the falling ice meteorite. During the flight, lightning was continuously added to the spear, causing the spear to grow rapidly, and in a blink of an eye it was more than ten meters long.
The spear stabbed into the ice meteorite, and then the electric fire energy exploded from the inside, blowing the huge ice meteorite into pieces.
However, the ice chips and debris gathered into a multi-headed ice dragon under King Soto's magic, and attacked King Taotie again.
King Taotie also collected and reshaped the electric and fire energy from the explosion, and multiple thunder dragons materialized, fighting with the ice dragon.
King Soto continued to cast spells, and King Taotie counterattacked in turn.
One battlefield after another for magic confrontation was opened up, and the two dragon kings entered the stage of multi-line magic confrontation.
Multi-line magic confrontations test the precise control of magic power, especially the need to maintain a continuous output of magic power. Once the control of magic power is insufficient, it will cause a mistake in the supply of magic power, and ultimately cause the magic to fail.
The basis of magical power control is to have a strong mental force, and then the ability of coordination and overall planning.
This requires long-term practice to accumulate mental strength and experience.
King Soto believed that the inheritance of King Taotie had just begun. Although he did not know how his magical energy reserves could be so huge, the control over magical energy could not be obtained from inheritance.
As long as he uses multi-line magic, King Taotie will be unable to resist.
But King Soto's plan failed again.
Luke's mental strength had been strengthened time and again by Qingkong, and it had become extremely powerful. As for the control of magic power, in addition to his own diligent practice, the continuous absorption of Qingkong's consciousness also gave Luke the ability to cast multiple lines of magic.
Therefore, in the new magical confrontation, King Taotie is still not inferior to King Soto.
This made King Soto a little impatient.
The high-intensity magic confrontation consumed most of his magic energy reserves, and it was unknown how much magic energy the Taotie King had left. However, lightning magic was good at this kind of direct attack, while ice magic was more inclined to assistance and control.
In a magical confrontation of this level, ice magic consumes more energy.
King Soto felt a little regretful, and couldn't understand how King Taotie could possess such high magical attainments?
We must change our tactics, otherwise we might lose.
King Soto cast a mirror magic, dividing part of his power to a summoned ice dragon, letting the ice dragon fight magic on his behalf, while he used space magic to create a space crack and drilled in.
At the same time, a space crack opened behind King Taotie.
King Soto emerged from the space crack, and as soon as he appeared, he blew a breath of icy dragon breath at King Taotie.
Luke had been tortured and tested with his space skills for a long time, and he reacted immediately when he noticed the abnormal space fluctuations behind him.
He turned around in advance, and the surrounding lightning instantly gathered in his hands to form a shield, which expanded just enough to block the gushing dragon breath. At the same time, the Blazing Sky Sword was held in his hand, and the sword tip spewed out a ten-meter-long flaming blade, slashing down at King Soto's body.
An ice wall blocked the blade of the Blazing Sword, but it was cut through by the fire sword like a piece of tofu.
King Soto did not expect that King Taotie actually had such a domineering sword. He did not dare to use his dragon scales to test the sharpness of the sword. Instead, he urgently changed direction and flipped in the air, barely avoiding the sword.
King Soto is now regretting his decision.
If I had fought in a normal way, I would never have gotten myself into such a mess. My arrogance made me choose a stupid way to fight, and I ended up not winning the magic energy contest, nor the magic energy control.
Choose close combat... The opponent actually has an unreasonable weapon.
Now I have abandoned the fighting style I am good at and put myself in a passive position.
King Soto dodged King Taotie's sword strikes in a very embarrassing manner, and finally found an opportunity to increase the distance. After being taught a lesson, King Soto put away all his contempt and prepared to fight King Taotie again with his own tactics.
However, the red crystal dragon King Ser suddenly rushed into the battlefield.
He stood between the two dragons and said, "King Soto, you are out of bounds!"
Out of bounds?
Silver Ice Dragon King Soto immediately looked down and found that he had really left the range of the fighting arena.
"The fighting arena is too small!" King Soto stared at King Taotie and said, "King Saier, please move aside. A duel between dragon kings should not be limited by the venue."
Luke put away the Blazing Sword and continued to fight with magic, saying, "Rules are made to be followed! Especially since these are the rules of the Dragon King Trial!
King Soto, I would love to continue fighting you, but the trial must go on.
Admit defeat... This will not damage the dignity of the Dragon King!"
The Red Crystal Dragon King Saier said to King Soto solemnly: "The rules of the trial were formulated by all the ancient dragons. And I just saw a violent ice dragon. The King's Trial has made you look strange to me.
Perhaps you are not fit to be our king!"
At this time, the Golden Dragon King Tyron also flew up: "King Soto, remove all magic immediately! Otherwise you will be isolated by all the dragons."
Unwilling to accept defeat, Silver Ice Dragon King Soto looked around.
The magic of the fighting arena was lifted, and the King's Dragon Nest returned to its original size. All the Dragon Kings flew up and protected the King's Dragon Nest from being destroyed by the magic that was still resisting.
If he continued to fight with the Taotie King relentlessly, he would really be isolated by all the dragons.
King Soto gradually reduced his magical power output and cancelled the spells one by one.
Luke cooperated and ended this magical confrontation.
All kinds of strange phenomena disappeared.
The Silver Ice Dragon King Soto turned and flew away without looking back.
The dragon kings returned to their positions and whispered to each other. Not only King Soto found it difficult to accept this result, but the dragon kings also found it incredible.
The Taotie King's victory was a fluke, but the Dragon Kings could not say anything. After all, throughout the confrontation, he showed his equal strength with the Soto King, and even showed off his sword in close combat.
It was just that the way King Soto was eliminated left the Dragon Kings feeling a little unsatisfied and upset.
But King Taotie won in the end, and King Soto, the favorite for the Dragon Kingdom King, was eliminated in the second trial.
Next, the King's Trial continued.
The other five groups fought in the fighting arena in turn, and the five winning ancient dragons and the Taotie King entered the third trial together.
It is also the last trial.
"Gain recognition from your companions and demonstrate your powerful strength. Six dragon kings, you have obtained the qualifications to become the kings of the Dragon Kingdom, but to become a true king, you still need to overcome yourself and gain a dragon heart that is willing to give everything for the Dragon Kingdom.
The first Dragon King who brings the Dragon Heart back to King's Peak will be the King of the Dragon Kingdom."
Night fell over King's Peak.
Watching his competitors fly away from the King's Dragon's Lair one by one, Luke found the Golden Dragon King Tyranid.
"What exactly is the third trial? What is the Dragon Heart that sacrifices everything for the Dragon Kingdom? I see that the other Dragon Kings have left King's Peak. Is the Dragon Heart a tool hidden somewhere in the Dragon Kingdom?"
King Terran was a participant in the formulation of the rules of the King's Trial, so he naturally knew what the third trial was.
He said to Luke: "The Dragon Heart is a prop. Its full name is the Seven-Colored Magic Heart. It is a magic gem made by the former king . It disappeared with the former king."
Luke could not help but say helplessly: "It seems that the Seven-Colored Demon Heart is in the hands of the Shining Gold Man."
“No, no, no…” King Terran said, “If the previous king had the Seven-Colored Magic Heart, he wouldn’t have been attacked by the Golden Man. It’s a very powerful magic item with self-awareness.
The Seven-Colored Demon Heart is in the Dragon Kingdom and occasionally appears and is seen by the giant dragons.
We believe that the king of Dragon Country needs to be recognized by the Seven-Colored Magic Heart. The king who possesses the Seven-Colored Magic Heart is our true king."
Listening to King Tyrannosaurus's words, Luke was stunned.
"Then why did you hold the first two trials? Just let all the dragons go find the Seven-Colored Demon Heart. Whoever finds it will be the King of the Dragon Kingdom."
"That's different." King Tairen shook his head and said, "If you want to become the king of the Dragon Kingdom, you also need to get the approval of all the Dragon Kings."
How pretentious!
Luke asked again: "What should we do if the six of us Dragon Kings can't find the Seven-Colored Demon Heart?"
"We will find it!"
Although King Tyron's answer was affirmative, Luke was unsure.
The Dragon Kingdom is really lax. For such a big matter as choosing a king, the final decision actually lies on an object.
Do you have to treat it like this?
The world is in chaos now, and you can't find the Seven-Colored Demon Heart. Do you no longer want a king?
but……
The other Dragon Kings don’t know where the Seven-Colored Demon Heart is, but the previous king should be able to find it.
Luke figured out something, and he asked King Tyron, "Was it you who came up with the trial of finding the Seven-Colored Demon Heart, and prepared it specifically for me?"
"It was indeed me who proposed the trial of finding the seven-color magic, but it was recognized by all the ancient dragons. Now no ancient dragon can defeat the Sword of Oath in a one-on-one situation. Only by obtaining the seven-color magic heart can the top military force of the Dragon Kingdom be on par with the Sky City.
In ancient wars, none of the three parties, Hell, Dragon Kingdom, and Shadow, were strong enough to fight against the Sword of Oath alone. The Seven-Colored Demon Heart was created for the Sword of Oath.
A king without the Seven-Colored Magic Heart will most likely suffer the same fate as the previous Dragon King.
That’s why we must find the Seven-Colored Demon Heart.”
Luke immediately became interested in the magic props developed by the Dragon Kingdom specifically to fight against the Sword of Oath.
"I'm going to find the Seven-Colored Demon Heart!"
After saying that, Luke flapped his dragon wings and soared into the sky. The Twilight dragons took off together and chased their king away from King's Peak.
