A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

This is something that no Silver-ranked individual could understand, and naturally, neither Fu Qing nor La Dongka could understand it either.

No matter how advanced one's understanding of magic becomes, it can never transcend the concept that is the essence of rules.

“Ancestral Dragon, you have betrayed the dragons (in dragon language),” Radonka said in a thunderous voice.

Most dragons joined the "Alliance of the Gods," and even those that didn't would choose to avoid it.

However, Nicholas chose to stand with the "Alliance of the Gods," on the opposite side of the Silver Race.

“If my choice to teach you a lesson, after you ‘Allied Gods’ destroyed even my dwelling, is considered betrayal, then consider it betrayal of the dragon race,” Nicol Bolas said in a nonchalant tone.

It was because He didn't join the "Alliance of the Gods" that the "Alliance of the Gods" started targeting him.

Nicol Bolas will not forget this.

"You traitor to the dragons, what brings you before us?" Fu Qing looked down at Nicol Bolas and said coldly.

Before he knew it, Fu Qing had also started using the common language.

Realizing this, Ladonka merely glanced at Fu Qing but said nothing, simply waiting silently on the side.

“To prevent you from disrupting the last remaining balance of Kapras,” Nicol Bolas said casually.

Kapras's "wall of the world" is gradually being destroyed, and if the balance is broken again, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Balance? Is the so-called balance simply that we Silver Race are forced to cower in a corner of the world?"

“We are a thousand times, ten thousand times stronger than ants, so why are you hiding from us demigods?” Fu Qing said in a deep voice.

The Azure Scaled Dragon lunged at Nicol Bolas, and the surrounding dragons that had been circling around it also rushed toward Nicol Bolas.

The sound of the dragon's wings flapping mingled with its roar, chilling and bewildering all who heard it.

Ladonka didn't follow, but just looked at Nicol Bolas with a puzzled expression.

Nicol Bolas wasn't particularly focused on fighting among the dragons, so why did he stand in front of countless dragons to provoke them?

The overwhelming force surged towards Nicholas, and if he didn't react, he would be torn to pieces in the next moment.

Countless concepts are clashing with Nicholas's concepts.

Even if he wanted to use the concept, Nicholas had to ask more than twenty dragons for their agreement.

"So you old-fashioned fools only know how to use concepts." This time, it was Nicol Bolas's turn to speak to the dragons with disdain. Concepts are powerful and can extend into all sorts of illogical abilities.

After all, these all involve the very foundation of the world's rules, so it's impossible for them not to be powerful.

However, no matter how it is extended, the abilities of the Silver Seed cannot escape the concepts they themselves have mastered.

This was fatal for Nicol Bolas.

The lack of diversity is fatal enough.

While magic may be weak and its effects may be utterly insignificant, its greatest strength lies in its versatility.

Anything you can imagine can be achieved through magic.

“…” Nicol Bolas remained silent, feeling the various concepts being imposed upon him.

He was too lazy to even bother to figure out the effects of each concept.

"Wrath of the Clear Sky"

All the clouds were dispersed at the same time, and under the influence of the magic, a blinding white light appeared in the night sky.

Night turns into day.

"You go to great lengths to reverse day and night, but I can do it with a single thought," Fu Qing said disdainfully.

The "concept" of "King Fulong" is cyclicality; He can manipulate the cycle of day and night.

On a whim, the sky darkened once more. Even if he didn't know what Nicol Bolas was planning, stopping him was definitely the right thing to do.

Daylight returns to night.

"Heh." Nicol Bolas merely shook his head, paying no attention to Fu Qing's arrogant words.

Nicol Bolas's spell is certainly not just about turning night into day, and the other Silver Race members who don't study magic are naturally unaware of this.

Why would He do something as mundane as simply reversing day and night?

This spell is "Wrath of the Clear Sky," which combines "clear sky" and "wrath."

As daylight fades and night approaches—

Everything in the sky—Niccolò Bolas, the hostile dragons, the high mountain peaks—

They were all overwhelmed by the enormous impact.

It was as if a hand that could cover the sky had slapped everything down.

That was the wrath of the sky; simply put, it was a pure magical riot.

"BOOM!!!!!!!!!!" The mountain was forcibly crushed, its peak collapsed, and it became shorter.

The dragons that were soaring through the air were all forced to land near the ground.

Nicol Bolas's spell wasn't enough to knock the dragons to the ground, nor did it leave any wounds on any of them.

However, this spell forced everyone to make an emergency landing.

"Roar! Ro ...

To push those who belong to the sky down to the ground is simply the latter insult.

"What kind of tricks are you playing (Dragon Language)!!!" Fu Qing, who had been speaking the common language, was so angry that he shouted out in Dragon Language.

“Don’t rush, that’s why you all only know how to use concepts and don’t understand diversity.” Nicol Bolas said casually, raising his dragon head and staring at Fu Qing.

Under Fu Qing's astonished gaze, Nicol Bolas transformed into human form, barefoot, and floated in mid-air.

That head of disheveled golden hair was dazzling even under the moonlight.

Fu Qing can also transform into human form, but he doesn't like to do so.

Of course, what puzzles Him most now is why Nicolaes suddenly took human form.

Nicolas quickly answered Fu Qing's question.

In its original form, it excels in everything, including strength, magic, and so on.

Normally, there is no reason to abandon one's true form in order to use a weaker humanoid form.

However, there is one exception: when one needs to draw a fine, small magic circle oneself.

The dragon form can also draw magic circles, but the area it draws will be very large, and it cannot meet some details.

The next magic circle that Nicol Bolas was about to draw could not be drawn purely with magic power; he had to do it himself.

The girl with long, flowing hair raised her hand.

His fair hands quickly traced patterns in mid-air, so fast that they left only a trail of afterimages.

Magic became the paintbrush, drawing an extremely complex circular array in the air.

The whole process took less than a second.

However, just before the circular formation was completed, Fu Qing realized what was happening, glared at Nicol Bolas, and used his own concept.

"Cycle" can cycle day and night, cycle through the four seasons, cycle from beginning to end, and cycle through all things.

Similarly, it can also disrupt the cycle.

The circular array in front of Nicol Bolas is maintained by the circulation of magic.

The cycle of magic has been disrupted, and the circular array will destroy itself.

However, that wasn't enough. While employing the concept, Fu Qing even ordered the dragons around him to attack Nicol Bolas.

"Slay this sinful dragon who betrayed us (Dragon language)!!!"

"Slay the traitor (Dragon language)!!" The young dragons were easily incited and attacked in droves.

Some of the dragons came close, trying to bite.

Some dragons exhale fierce dragon breath.

However, the complexity of concepts is the dragons' greatest weapon.

Nicol Bolas, now in the form of a young girl, inexplicably developed many marks and wounds on his body.

"You ganged up on my dragon? Is this what you call arrogance?"

As Nicholas spoke, he continued drawing the circular array.

There are too many dragons; there's no way to solve the problem.

Therefore, He will create a solution.

Although Fu Qing interrupted the cycle of magic, the circular array still existed.

"..." Fu Qing quickly realized what Nicholas had done.

They had concepts, and so did Nicolaes himself.

The cycle of the magic circle was interrupted, and Nicol Bolas could "virtually" recreate it.

If Fu Qing causes trouble once, he can simply "virtually" do it again.

"BOOM!!!!" Nicol Bolas, who had transformed into a petite girl, was overwhelmed by the exaggerated attack.

However, no dragon's screams came from the smoke and dust.

As the dust settled, Nicolaes appeared as an unharmed young girl.

However, despite his pale complexion, he had actually been severely injured.

But the great Nicholas could not possibly be defeated in terms of posture.

"Alright, it's time to divide the battlefield. I hope you don't get lost," Nicol Bolas said, proudly raising his head.

"Rip—" A sound like white paper being torn apart suddenly rang out in the surroundings.

Where did the paper come from?

Under the astonished gazes of countless dragons, space was torn apart as if by paper.

The torn opening was filled with magic arrays.

Using magic to harm silver-type creatures? That's too inefficient, so none of these magic arrays involve dealing damage.

If you look closely, you'll find that each magic circle has an abstract compass pattern.

"Fantasy Rift"

The crack expanded instantly, swallowing everything around it.

Unless a few dragons escaped being devoured by relying on their own concepts, even beings like Nicol Bolas vanished without a trace.

Even the ground was swallowed up, leaving a hemispherical crater.

---

Far away in the Kingdom of Yundu, the terrifying roar of the dragon has not yet dissipated.

But people are unaware of all this.

Most people in every city are fast asleep, unaware of the brief daylight.

Tomorrow is the long-awaited festival celebration.

It is as large as a black mountain, and its wings can cover the sky and the earth.

This is how mortals see dragons.

Now, this creature, which only existed in fantasy, has suddenly come into people's view.

"Whoosh—" A dragon that was not taken away by Nicol Bolas breathed out its dragon breath toward the village below.

This is a village where people live peaceful and tranquil lives. It is a bit far from Shouzhang City, and villagers usually need to go to the city together to buy whatever they need.

Although life was a little tough, people were still very happy.

Unfortunately, starting today, this village will be wiped out.

As the dragon breath flew, it left deep marks on the ground.

If only this were just pure flame, but dragon breath is fundamentally different from fire.
