Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 169 Martial Arts
“Congratulations on taking the next step.”

If gifts are needed, that's another matter. If it just requires verbal expression, Lyon is not stingy in providing emotional value.

"We can't be complacent yet. We still need to work hard." Tassela was rarely humble.

It took about five minutes for her high spirits to calm down.

"What should we do with this guy?" Leon had already seen the wilted female-faced Sphinx.

"If she doesn't stop us, I think we can let her go." Having just fought a "battle" with the female-faced Sphinx, she really gained a lot. Tassera looked at the female-faced Sphinx and felt a sense of sympathy. Of course, the main reason was that she won in the end, which was the margin of victory.

"Leave it to me. I'll persuade her." Tassela said as she walked to the front of the female-faced Sphinx. "Open the door and let us go. We won't make things difficult for you."

The female-faced Sphinx raised her tired eyes and said, "Leave the Vientiane Impermanence Card, and I will let you go immediately."

"Are you done yet? I told you that I can't give you the Card of All Things Impermanence." Leon couldn't help but interrupt. He thought that the Card of All Things Impermanence was of no use and could hardly be used, but it had a definite collection value.

"You are robbing." The female-faced Sphinx glared at Leon.

“Yes, this is robbery.” Leon touched the Vientiane card that he had kicked into his pocket. Seeing that Tassela had gained a lot from the Comet card, he was really tempted, but he still resisted the urge to draw a card. “Do you think the Vientiane card is more important, or your life?”

"The sacred oath is the most important." The female-faced Sphinx answered the question irrelevantly.

Many sphinxes are high-ranking priests created by the gods, while most others are spirits that exist to guard. They do not sleep or need to eat when performing their guarding duties.

Whether it is due to boredom over the years or other reasons, some sphinxes will break away from their original sacred mission for various reasons. However, even if the sphinx's alignment and loyalty are shaken, it will not leave the place it guards and violate the sacred oath.

"I know what to do." Tassela gave up the idea of ​​persuading the Female Sphinx. "She won't let us leave unless we defeat her."

Do we still have to fight in the end? Thinking of this, Leon rubbed his hands and said, "Leave it to me."

"Okay, go ahead... defeat her, but don't kill her." Tassela thought for a moment. After all, she was a dragon. "If she resists stubbornly and doesn't know whether to live or die, just kill her."

“Understood.” Leon took out the Vientiane Impermanence Card from his pocket and said, “Please keep this for me first.”

The female-faced Sphinx watched Leon approach. She could tell that Leon was a red dragon, and even that the red dragon was a teenage dragon, but that was all. She said, "You came here alone. Do you think you can beat me in a one-on-one fight?"

"That blue dragon is a magic dragon. What kind of dragon are you?" The female-faced Sphinx perked up. "What's so special about you?"

"You'll know when you get there," said Leon.

"I want to see what's so special about you." The female-faced Sphinx roared, and the scorching magical energy surged towards her body from all directions and began to flow through her body.

"You won't cry until you see the coffin." Leon said as he returned to his dragon form. An oversized red dragon suddenly appeared in the room.

This room, which was transformed from a huge cave, allowed the large-sized female-faced Sphinx to move freely without affecting Leon's sword swinging. He stretched out his hand and took out the Blade of Cataclysm out of thin air.

"A red dragon that can use a sword? It doesn't have the unpleasant smell of sulfur and pumice, but instead gives people the feeling of a fairy or a celestial creature..." The female-faced Sphinx looked at Leon, "The dragon clan is really full of freaks, and all kinds of strange dragons may appear."

"Come on." The female-faced Sphinx was not afraid, "Let me see how the red dragon uses the sword."

"As you wish." Leon gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and pushed it forward, using the sword-controlling technique to control the flying sword to fly towards the female-faced Sphinx and hit a transparent shield.

"What kind of spell is this?" The female-faced Sphinx was stunned by the spell she had never seen before. Then she quickly realized that this was not just a verbal battle with the blue dragon. A real combat did not allow her to be distracted at all. She jumped into the darkness and disappeared without a trace.

Leon has the ability of clairvoyance, so invisibility is of no use to him under normal circumstances. However, the dark and unfamiliar environment combined with advanced invisibility still has some effect on him. It is as if he could see a figure clearly before, but now he can only see it vaguely.

But that was all. Leon easily found the Female-faced Sphinx and controlled the flying sword to chase after it until the Female-faced Sphinx used the magic to dispel it.

"You can actually see the invisible." The female-faced Sphinx found an opportunity to speak.

"Not only can I see through invisibility, I can also see through illusions." Leon said, "So don't play with secondary illusions in front of me, it's too childish."

Leon snapped his claws and recalled the sword that fell on the ground, then strode towards the real female-faced Sphinx. Since the pill was completed, his ability to control his body has improved by several levels, and he can walk on his hind legs.

"How can you walk on two legs?" The female-faced Sphinx considered herself knowledgeable, but had never seen a red dragon walking on two legs. She felt that she had too many questions today. "Does your body control reach this level? How did you do it?" "You are so smart, guess what." Leon kept walking.

Seeing the red dragon approaching step by step, the female Sphinx subconsciously retreated and soon retreated to the corner. She looked up and saw that the red dragon was approaching. She decisively waved her claws to cast the teleportation. A flash of light passed, and she appeared in the distance in an instant. She blinked and found that the red dragon was gone.

Creatures with true vision can see through ordinary or magical darkness, see through invisible creatures and objects, see through illusions, see through the original forms of deformed creatures or creatures that have been transformed by magic, and can even see the ethereal plane at the same time... The female-faced Sphinx quickly found the red dragon that had turned into a ball of clear air, and landed in front of her before she could react.

"You can teleport, and I know a similar spell." Leon said. He found that the female-faced Sphinx was about to escape, so he raised his hand and cast a spell to immobilize her. Although it could not control her for too long, it managed to control her for a few seconds. Then he used a palm thunder to blow up the pillar next to the female-faced Sphinx.

"How is it?" Leon said, "Are you satisfied with my performance?"

The female-faced Sphinx has a solemn expression.

"It's not too late to surrender now." Leon laughed. In fact, he had been playing all the time, otherwise he would have defeated the female-faced Sphinx long ago.

"No!" the female-faced Sphinx shouted. Not everyone has a flexible moral outlook.

“Then don’t blame me for being rude.” Lyon felt that he had given enough face to the female Sphinx and stopped holding back.

The female-faced Sphinx is a large monster with surprisingly good agility, but it is nothing in front of Leon who has completed his Dancheng. The claws that can be regarded as magic weapons can indeed hurt Leon, not to mention the spells such as Holy Flame and Flame Strike, provided that Leon does not activate the indestructible body.

The powerful male-faced Sphinx is here, so Leon may need to expend some strength. The female-faced Sphinx cannot stop Leon who is giving his all.

Fortunately, Leon remembered what Tassera said and only beat the Female Sphinx to the point of near death, but did not kill her.

Even so, the female-faced Sphinx did not admit defeat, which made Leon admire her a little.

The female-faced Sphinx was still unwilling to open the door, but Leon was not without a solution. He walked to the door to leave and saw the power of magic flowing on the door. He opened his mouth and breathed out a breath of Samadhi Fire to burn all the magic, and then he split the door open with a sword.

No matter how the Sphinx struggled, Leon walked away with Tassera in a swagger.

After walking out of the dungeon, Leon took out the Card of Unpredictable Things and looked at it again.

He was basically satisfied with this trip to the underground city.

It can't be said that he felt guilty, but he was a little concerned. Leon asked, "Is there really a Supreme Hierophant of the Comet Herald, or a Death-Fearing Prisoner who is eyeing this thing?"

"As far as I know, there is an organization called the Blazing Sky Wall that is looking for the Vientiane Card. Their leader is the Blazing Sky Servant." Tassela said, "But it is an organization that does good. As long as you don't plan to use the card for evil and destruction, they won't hurt you."

"I'm the Red Dragon. If I tell them that I just want to collect the Card of Impermanence, they probably won't believe me." Leon didn't know how much he had suffered because of his identity as the Red Dragon.

"So you're scared now?" Tassela said with a smile.

“Do you think it’s possible?” Leon put the Vientiane Impermanence Card away again. “I just don’t like the hassle. Besides, I’m not afraid of thieves stealing, I’m afraid of thieves thinking about it.”

"Compared to me..." Leon glanced at Tassera, "You didn't forget that you drew three cards, in addition to Eagle Claw and Comet, there is also a Fire."

"I'm not an ordinary person, I'm a blue dragon." Tassera acted even more nonchalant than Leon.

"After I go back, I will go into seclusion for a while." Tassela nodded. "Mirage is the spell I have been studying. As long as the problem that bothers me is solved, it will be a natural thing for me to master it. This is not the case with other spells."

"When my retreat is over and I master more spells, I won't be afraid of any powerful demons."

“Go ahead, retreat and master all the spells you can.” Leon stretched lazily. “I bought a lot of fine gold and mithril this time. I will be busy when I return. I will try to build a set of equipment and then completely master the Port of Watch…”

From Watch Harbor to Lafite, Leon's purpose was not only to sell the unwanted "junk", organize his backpack, find a way to buy some refined gold and mithril to make equipment, and accompany Tassela to visit the dungeon. Of course, he would buy tools and equipment that might be useful in Lafite.

He suddenly remembered that he must pay close attention to publicity, but he hadn't purchased any printing tools or anything like that yet.

Everyone has a bright future.
