Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 168 Literary Fight
As Tassela turned into a blue dragon, Leon decisively retreated to the corner of the room, leaving the battlefield.

Even though they had known each other for so many years and had even developed a very close relationship recently, it did not prevent Leon from only knowing that Tassera, as a dragon storing magic, was only so-so in strength. Even if she was a little stronger than the fire giant, she was not much stronger... He had seen Tassera fight, and even sparred with her a few times, but Tassera had never given it her all.

It is true that Tassera is a creature at the top of the food chain as a dragon, but the Sphinx is no worse than a dragon. The challenge level of a male Sphinx is comparable to that of a mature red dragon, while a female Sphinx is not as good as a male Sphinx, but it is probably still a little higher than a normal young blue dragon.

It seemed that today he would finally know how powerful Tassera was.

"Are you sure you want to fight me alone?"

The female-faced Sphinx stared at the blue dragon that stood out.

To be honest, she has no confidence if the Red Dragon and the Blue Dragon attack together. She can only go ahead anyway. If all else fails, she can use the Transmigration to escape. Then, she can find a powerful adventurer to help her - the Card of Impermanence cannot be put into any dimensional bag - and steal the Card of Impermanence from the red dragon's lair.

Because of the Comet Card, the Blue Dragon actually wanted to challenge her in a duel... It's too funny for a mere young Blue Dragon to want to defeat the Female Sphinx, not to mention that this is her territory.

The female-faced Sphinx is confident that she can defeat the blue dragon and make it lose its ability to fight. Then the red dragon will definitely not give up. However, a single teenage red dragon cannot threaten her.

"I am sure."

"The fight hasn't even started yet. You're getting too happy a little too early."

If it were in the past, Tassera would not have the confidence to defeat the Female Sphinx, but now she has been practicing dual cultivation with Leon for several years. Leon has benefited more, and she has also benefited in part, and her casting speed has become faster.

"I know that you blue dragons are good at creating illusions, and you often trick your enemies with an illusion." The female-faced Sphinx said, "I'm so sorry, but we Sphinxes have true vision, and no illusion can fool us. You can't do that, and no one can."

"I know that the Sphinx has true vision, and I am not stupid enough to play illusions in front of a Sphinx." Tassela said, "But I have more than just illusions."

"You have sharp fangs and claws. You don't think I don't have sharp fangs and claws." As a large monster, the female-faced Sphinx is about the same size as Tassera. She raised her forelimbs, and the claws that popped out were like scimitars flashing with cold light.

"Tell me all the other tricks you have." The female-faced Sphinx said, "If this is all you have, you are not my opponent."

"You have heard of the Dragon of the Storage of Magic." Tassera raised her head proudly.
"The Dragon of Spells?" The female-faced Sphinx looked at Tassera, "Are you the Dragon of Spells?"

"As you can see." Tassera smiled, revealing her sharp white teeth. If someone was not familiar with dragons, they might be scared.

"I know about the Spell-Storing Dragon," said the Sphinx. "It's a dragon-like mental illness that shifts the desire for treasure to the pursuit of arcane knowledge and new spells. Because of its obsession with arcane knowledge, it becomes a living spellbook, etching spells on its scales to store so-called spells..."

"That's very strange." The female-faced sphinx circled around the blue dragon. "Your scales clearly have no runes or arcane symbols, and no spell storage."

"It's not surprising... I prefer to cast spells directly rather than storing them in my scales." Tassera said proudly, "If I knew spells, do you think you could win?"

"You know magic, do you think I don't?" said the female-faced Sphinx. "You can't beat me in a physical fight, and you can't beat me with magic either."

Nv Mian Si suddenly laughed and said, "You said you are a magic dragon, but in my opinion, you are not pure at all... I really want to ask you, have you mastered twenty spells so far?"

"Twenty spells... who do you look down on?" Tassela raised her paw. "I hope you can still smile after being hit by my dissociation technique."

"Just opening your mouth is the Dissociation Spell. It seems that the Dissociation Spell is the most advanced spell you have mastered." The female-faced Sphinx nodded self-righteously.

"Disintegration is just a spell that I think is most suitable for you." Tassela said, "I am also capable of more advanced spells."

The female-faced Sphinx could see that Tassela was feeling guilty, and said, "You are lying. You definitely don't know a spell more advanced than Dissociation."

The female-faced Sphinx had a sarcastic and mocking expression on her face, which made Tassera angry and said, "If you want to die so badly, I don't mind letting you see it for yourself."

"Finger of Death, Rainbow Jet, Fire Storm..." said the female-faced Sphinx, "You can use any spell you want. I'm standing here and won't let you hit me."

Although she had studied it for many years, she still couldn't find the right method. Tassela didn't have the confidence that she could cast a spell higher than Dissociation. Even if she could, she couldn't kill the Female Sphinx. If she failed to cast the spell, she would become a laughing stock.

It was just a moment of hesitation. Of course, Tassela would not back down. She gritted her teeth and said, "You said so. Don't move."

Tassela began to cast a spell. Just as she opened her mouth, the Sphinx interrupted her and said, "Enough." Hearing the words of the Sphinx, Tassela immediately stopped and said with a smile, "You are scared."

"It's not that I'm scared, but that you're wrong." The female-faced Sphinx said, "I interrupted you because I don't want to see you continue to make mistakes and cause an uncontrolled magic explosion."

"You also know magic?" Tassela couldn't help laughing. "It's really rare that a Sphinx is actually a wizard."

"I'm not a wizard. My spells come from perception rather than learning." The Sphinx was not angry. "The reason why I can see that there is a problem with your spellcasting is... You should have heard that the Sphinx is a living library of knowledge and learning."

"Not only that—" the female-faced Sphinx continued, "the creator of this dungeon is a powerful wizard, and I just happened to learn a lot of magic knowledge from him."

"Really?" Tassela said, "Then let me test you."

"Please do as you wish." The female-faced Sphinx didn't care.

Tassela thought for a moment and said, "Just tell me about the spell model of Fireball."

"You're testing me with such a simple question?" The female-faced Sphinx easily stated the spell model of Fireball.

After listening to the answer, Tassera found that there was nothing wrong with what the female-faced Sphinx said. She still had some dignity and was willing to admit defeat instead of cheating and saying that the answer was wrong. She said, "It seems that you have some ability."

"Now it's my turn to test you." The female-faced Sphinx's favorite thing to do is to test others. "You blue dragons are best at creating illusions. I won't test you on anything else. I will test your understanding of the spell of mirage."

Leon stood in the corner, looking forward to the fight between Tassera and the Sphinx. For some reason, the two sides never started fighting. After talking a lot of nonsense, they began to test each other's magic knowledge. In the end, it was not limited to magic knowledge, but also astronomy and geography questions popped up...

The female-faced Sphinx is a living library, and Tassela is not bad either. It is hard to tell the two apart for a while. Leon felt a headache after hearing this, but he couldn't intervene because Tassela had just drawn the Unpredictable Card and the Comet Card. She must defeat the next enemy or group of enemies alone.

Leon couldn't stand listening for a long time, so he simply took out a novel and started reading. He was soon fascinated. When he came to his senses, he saw Tassela in human form standing in front of him.

Leon glanced at Tassera, who was intact. He turned to look at the female-faced Sphinx. The lioness was lying on the ground listlessly, with no injuries on her body either.

"Why don't you fight anymore?" Leon asked.

"It's over." Tassela replied.

Leon was a little confused and said, "When did the fight end? You guys are not injured..."

"It doesn't have to be a bloodbath to be considered a fight," Tassela said. "Academic debates are also fights, and verbal battles are also fights."

"Okay." Leon said confusedly, "Who wins?"

"I won, of course I won." Tassela suddenly hugged Leon and kissed him hard on the face, "Thanks to you, otherwise I would have lost. That guy really knows."

"Thanks to me?" Leon was a little confused, "I didn't do anything."

"Didn't you ask me a question before?" Tassela said, "When the integer n > 2, the equation x^n + y^n = z^n about x, y, and z has no positive integer solutions."

Lyon remembered that at that time, Tassela was bragging about her profound knowledge, so he tested her with Fermat's Last Theorem.

"I couldn't solve that math problem, and when I used that problem, the Sphinx couldn't solve it either," Tassela said. "So I won."

"Fortunately, I won. Even though she was very good, I still won." Tassela said excitedly, "If I had lost, I probably wouldn't have been able to eat for a week. I don't feel as refreshed as I do now, and even the air feels fresh."

"And more." Tassela grabbed Leon's arm, "Let me tell you, I used to be unable to understand the spell, but now I understand it all of a sudden. I can cast mirages now."

Leon roughly understood the effect of the Comet Card. The effect of the Comet Card was realized in some way. Tassera became a 12th-level spellcaster from a 13th-level spellcaster. Anyway, she could cast the 7th-level spell Mirage.

Then, Tassera and the Female Sphinx are evenly matched opponents, and there should have been a big battle, but now there is no such battle. He still doesn't know Tassera's true combat power... There is no point in knowing it. Judging from her performance today, he should not regard Tassera as a combatant, but as a talent to be studied.
