Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 6 Spell Scroll
Nemesis turned his attention back to the red-robed wizard. It was obvious that the other party had experienced the speed of casting spells in Dragon Language. Not only did he not rush to chant the spell, but he reached his hand inside his clothes and stared at him vigilantly.

"I see. You want to attack me by surprise while I'm chanting the spell?"

Nemesis was keenly aware of the opponent's intention. Unlike directly casting a spell, whether using a spell scroll prepared in advance or activating the spell of a magic item, there was no need to chant the spell.

This instantaneous spell is a very important part of the mage battle. Interrupting the opponent's spellcasting and causing damage at the critical moment can gain a great advantage.

The Scroll Dragon couldn't help but feel depressed. As a real dragon, he had too few treasures. He didn't even have a single magic item or magic scroll.

Although as a wizard, he could also copy magic scrolls for his own storage, but he had never been to a human settlement and could not buy magic paper for making magic scrolls!
As a carrier of magical power, the scroll is made of magic paper made from the skins of various extraordinary monsters. The more powerful the spell, the more precious the magic paper required!

The skin beneath the scales of an old true dragon is the best material for making a nine-ring spell scroll!

A true dragon is a creature whose abilities increase with age, starting from a dragonfly, there are twelve stages: dragonfly, young dragon, juvenile dragon, adolescent dragon, young dragon, adult dragon, middle-aged dragon, old dragon, very old dragon, ancient dragon, ancient dragon, and great ancient dragon!
As for the old dragon, it is impossible to kill it without the cooperation of a level 17 professional!
From this aspect, we can also see that spell scrolls are very precious things. Even if the red-robed wizard has some, he probably won't have too many.

Nemesis couldn't help but feel a little tricky. Dragon language was indeed very short, and a second-level spell only needed 6 syllables to be released. But compared to instant casting, it was still a bit slow.

If he had magical items with protective spells, he would be able to hold on, but now he is helpless.

"At my limit of magic resistance, it should be enough to resist the third-level Shaping [Fireball] and suffer minor injuries. Looks like I'll have to see some dragon blood today."

Nemesis made up his mind, opened his dragon mouth and let out a deafening roar.

"Roar!!!!!!"

The powerful dragon might enveloped the red-robed wizard, but the wizard's superb mental strength made the opponent stunned for only a second before breaking free, while Nemesis in the sky had already opened its mouth and spewed out a fiery red sphere.

That was the breath of the scroll dragon.

The fiery red sphere with astonishing heat quickly approached the wizard. His face changed drastically and he quickly took out a scroll with a gold edge.

A trace of pain flashed across the wizard's eyes, and the scroll quickly burned. A turquoise ray hit the sphere, and the breath that was comparable to the [Fireball] disappeared into the air before it exploded.

"That's the third-level protective spell [Dispel Magic]!" Nemesis was shocked. Protective spell scrolls are the most expensive of all spell scrolls. This wizard is really rich.

[Dispel Magic], as the name suggests, is a spell that can dispel magical effects. In fact, the breath of a normal real dragon cannot be classified as a magical effect, but rather a physical phenomenon. [Dispel Magic] cannot dispel the breath of a real dragon.

But the bad thing is, the breath of the scroll dragon is rare, and it has a magical effect. This also means that the breath of the scroll dragon is not only restrained by [Dispel Magic], but also many protective spells including [Counter Spell], which can work against it.

"Come on, I don't believe you have a [Dispel Magic] scroll!" Nemesis opened his mouth again and spit out a magic ball flashing with lightning. That is the special feature of the breath of the scroll dragon. Their breath can change the elemental damage type according to the sprayer's wishes.

Before the mage could breathe a sigh of relief, Nemesis's next breath came again. He really doubted that he had not checked the almanac today and encountered a scroll dragon. Although Nemesis complained about his own breath, the mage felt even worse. Compared with other breaths, the scroll dragon's breath was indeed weak, but it had a long range and fast speed!

When facing other young true dragons, the distance between them was not enough for the breath to be taken!
He gritted his teeth and took out two scrolls again. One of the scrolls was immediately burned to ashes, and his body was swallowed by a ball of silver-white mist. The next moment, he appeared ten meters away.

The breath exploded, blue-green lightning dancing wildly in the air, but no one was already in the area.

After using a scroll of the second-level spell [Phantom Step], the red-robed wizard had no time to feel sorry. He stared fiercely at the real dragon in the sky and tore up another scroll in his hand. The third-level spell of the enchantment system - [Law: Clumsiness]!
An invisible force descended upon Nemesis' body. He felt a piercing pain in his body. The next moment, his whole body became clumsy. He tried to chant the dragon language, but his usually fluent pronunciation became stuttering.

The red-robed wizard sneered and began to chant the spell. Under the influence of [Law: Clumsy], Nemesis' chanting speed had become synchronized with his.

Three-ring energy-shaping spell——[Fireball]!
A shining, pea-sized, hot ball flew from the wizard's fingertips toward Nemesis. Despite its seemingly tiny size, it contained extremely violent power. Accelerated by kinetic energy, the fireball instantly reached the sky.

At this moment, Nemesis finally completed his spell with some difficulty.

Second-ring conjuration spell——【Shadowshift】!
"boom!!"

Following a low roar, a raging flame enveloped an area of ​​twenty meters in radius. A strong air wave vibrated in the air with the explosion, and the leaves trembled in the strong wind. The deafening sound even made the red-robed wizard's ears hurt.

When he looked up at the sky expectantly, what fell to the ground was not the real dragon he was expecting, but a charred corpse of a werewolf.

On the ground, the place where the werewolf was originally located became Nemesis.

The chest of Nemesis' dragon body was charred black at this time, and the smell of cooked meat filled the air. He was panting and laughing grimly.

"It seems that your trump card did not succeed in killing me."

As early as the moment the red-robed wizard chanted the spell, Nemesis had predicted that the other party would definitely use some kind of third-level spell with great destructive power, and [Fireball], as the output leader among the third-level spells, was naturally taken into consideration.

The range of the second-level spell [Phantom Step] was too small, and the escape distance of ten meters was far from being able to escape the explosion range of [Fireball] which was close to 20 meters, so he decisively prepared [Teleport].

This spell can swap the positions of any two non-resisting creatures, and its casting range greatly exceeds that of Fireball. Although this will cause him to lose a gnoll, he believes that as long as he gets rid of the red robe wizard, the remaining barbarians will not be a problem.

Nemesis flapped his wings and flew into the sky again before the barbarian rushed towards him. He had already broken free from the magical effect of [Law: Clumsiness] and he quickly recited a few syllables and cast a spell at the mage.

A first-level Shaping spell——[Magic Missile]!
Three scarlet magic missiles shot towards the mage. The red-robed mage quickly chanted a spell, trying to use [Shield Spell] to block the missiles.

But just as the missiles collided with the shield, three sharp ice fragments shot out from the air again and appeared in front of him. The mage was desperate. This real dragon had too many spell slots to use, but he had already exhausted all his means of self-defense.

Second-ring conjuration spell——[Frost Arrow].

The dimensional door in the dragon's claws was filled with chill, and the ice summoned from another world penetrated the mage's body with great kinetic energy. He fell to the ground unwillingly, and the last thought in his mind before he died was:
"What the teacher said is true. Shapers are all stupid savages who always rank last in a duel between mages. It's ridiculous that I thought I would be an exception."

Seeing the wizard breathe his last, Nemesis breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, for a spellcaster, the most difficult opponent to deal with is another spellcaster.

Fortunately, looking at the spell used by the opponent, he should be a transmogrifier who majored in transmogrification. The transmogrification system can be said to be focused on attack and extremely lacks displacement and protection capabilities. The threat he just suffered also came from the spells of other factions released by the opponent using scrolls.

If a sixth-level wizard majors in spells and minors in protection, or majors in spells and minors in enchantment.
I'm afraid Nemesis will have to run away.

　The specific content of the eight factions will be discussed later. There may be some confusion about the spells, so let me say in advance that the spells released by the protagonist include both displacement and evocation. In fact, this is mainly because the core of spells is time, space and summoning. Therefore, displacement is consistent, and evocation is the summoned energy. Of course, the attack means of spells must be much weaker than evocation, but it is comprehensive!
