Wizard: I crush legends with martial arts.

After listening to Edson's account, Alphonse was quite surprised. A swordsman who had not yet advanced to the legendary level was challenging a powerful figure who had been at the legendary level for over two hundred years, and he was still able to break through in the heat of battle.

Not only did he break through, but he also won and seriously injured his opponent.

This guy is practically a protagonist straight out of a novel! He has the ability to take on challenges far beyond his level!

"What happened to the Dark Lion later?"

"He's missing," Edson replied. "Before challenging Raymondo, he challenged many powerful figures from various countries on the continent, growing stronger with each battle, which is why he earned the title of Dark Lion. His only defeat was against the Berserker King Barbatos, but this battle was not known to the outside world. I only heard about it from that old guy Barbatos. I don't know how he found Barbatos's secluded place."

Even Barbatos praised him as a once-in-a-millennium genius swordsman. If they were of the same level, Barbatos probably wouldn't be his match. This is a very rare praise. You know, that old guy Barbatos has no demeanor of a strongman at all. He fights without any scruples and dares to use any underhanded tricks. He's just an old rogue.

Mia was immediately taken aback, never expecting that the legendary figure, the legendary powerhouse, would be like this.

Alphonse, however, thought it was quite normal. Whatever means he used, winning was the only right thing to do.

Those who survived the great war against the demons a thousand years ago must have been extraordinary individuals. History is written by the victors, and future generations don't care whether their methods were too despicable.

Edson sighed softly, "It's a pity that after defeating Raymondo, the Dark Lion didn't challenge Barbatos again. He was like a shooting star that streaked across the sky, showing a moment of brilliant light before disappearing without a trace. We don't know where he went. Perhaps, as some of our dragon elders have said, in ancient times, there were powerful beings who, after ascending to legendary status, had no further pursuits in this world and went beyond the stars to explore other worlds."

"Explore other worlds?" Alphonse was taken aback. "There shouldn't be any air in space, right? How could they survive there?"

"Legendary-level powerhouses are life forms that transcend their own races. It's quite normal for them to be able to live in the universe," Edson said. He hadn't reached that level yet, but the Dragon King of the Dragon Clan was a legendary powerhouse. "Speaking of which, you've also heard of the theory of the universe? How do you know there's no air beyond the stars?"

In my previous life in modern society, this was common sense!

Alphonse couldn't explain it either, and could only say, "I saw it in a miscellaneous book."

"That must be the work of a very knowledgeable scholar," Edson said with some emotion. "It's not easy to draw this conclusion based on mere conjecture and imagination. I also heard the Dragon King say that he once flew beyond the starry sky, but the boundless dark space filled him with fear, and he dared not go far away."

Alphonse thought this was only natural. In the vast expanse of space, even if a legendary powerhouse could survive without air, finding a planet with life wouldn't be easy, even with enough food and water.

Even within the solar system, the distance between each planet is incredibly vast.

It is very likely that the legendary powerhouses who flew beyond the stars have perished in the sea of ​​stars, but their spirit of exploration is commendable.

Alphonse asked himself honestly, and he knew he wouldn't dare to be so reckless.

Edson chuckled. "You probably don't know, but the continent we live on is actually a sphere, right?"

"A sphere?" Mia exclaimed in surprise. "You mean, our world is a sphere?"

This was beyond Mia's imagination; she had never studied this kind of knowledge before.

Alphonse naturally knew that most celestial bodies undergo a process called planet formation, in which primordial matter gradually gathers together and eventually forms a round planet.

This is a modern theory.

However, many science fiction novels present different versions, such as a strange world where an entire continent is shrouded in a circular dome.

"I've read this in some ancient documents," Master Godin said, unsurprised.

Edson clicked his tongue with a slightly unpleasant expression. He had deliberately shown off, but Alphonse and Master Godin were not surprised at all. Fortunately, there was Mia, who was listening and exclaimed in surprise.

"I didn't really believe this before either. If the continent we live on is a sphere, then wouldn't the people on the other side be upside down? Why don't the people standing on it fall off? The Dragon King's conclusion for me is that there is a suction force on the earth, so people can stand on it by looking towards the earth's center."

Later, I verified it myself. I flew in one direction for a long time, and finally returned to the starting point. Now I was completely convinced.

Alphonse never imagined that Edson was actually a dragon that had circumnavigated the world. Only a dragon with such incredible speed could use such a clumsy method to verify this.

Then another thought occurred to him: "Wouldn't a legendary powerhouse dream of igniting a divine fire and becoming a god?"

"There are such people, but not all legendary powerhouses want to become gods. Isn't becoming a god just becoming a subordinate servant of the god? And becoming a god doesn't grant eternal life; one can still fall."

Edson paused here. He was aware of a highly disrespectful conjecture about the gods, but since it involved the realm of the divine, there was no need to go into details. He immediately changed the subject, "At least, in the hundreds of years I have lived, I have never seen a god descend to earth, nor have I ever received any revelation from the Dragon God."

Alphonse had experienced the power of Oshoon, the god of the underworld, but when Oshoon appeared in a dream, he spoke unclearly and incomprehensibly, making it seem that even the gods of this other world were not omnipotent.

Edson seemed to have lost interest in chatting and fell silent.

After flying for most of the day, Edson suddenly said, "We're almost there. Get ready, I'm about to land."

Then, accompanied by his deep, thunderous roar, he began to descend steadily.

Alphonse could already see a long mountain range in the distance, with towering peaks.

Why not just fly there?

Just as this thought crossed her mind, Mia asked in surprise, "The legendary Archmage Scott lives in seclusion in these low mountains? They look so inconspicuous, and there's no sign of human habitation."

Short?

Alphonse was momentarily stunned, for he had clearly seen a towering mountain range.

Master Godin got up and unleashed his "Rinnegan," his emerald green pupils immediately shimmering with ripples. (End of Chapter)
