Chapter 252 Abnormal Changes
The price of more than twenty thousand souls was slightly beyond Roy’s expectations.
According to past materializations, he estimated that he would only need a few thousand souls, but he did not expect that it would be calculated in tens of thousands.
However, when he saw the attribute generated by the system, Roy felt that these twenty thousand-plus souls were worth it!
Dragon Slayer Magic:
This ability can activate and deactivate at will to enter the supercharge state. The effect lasts until magic power runs out. When this ability is active, all attacks will deal 200% damage and 300% damage to dragons and dragon subspecies respectively. When this ability is active, the user can consume the direct elemental magic used by dragons to gain 30% increased stamina recovery and magic power recovery speed for thirty minutes. For the improved defensive capabilities against magic elements, this effect is permanent. After consuming the same element many times, the effect gradually weakens.
When using this ability, the user will not suffer from motion sickness when on any form of transportation.
When Roy saw the attributes of this Dragon Slayer Magic, he realized that the system must have searched for the memories of Dragon Slayer Magic in the depths of his mind. This was because this Dragon Slayer Magic’s effect of devouring to strengthen oneself seemed to incline toward Black Dragon Slayer Magic. In the Fairy Tail comic, the Black Dragon, Acnologia, was a super boss throughout. He was extremely powerful! More than four hundred years ago, he was a Dragon Slayer. He was known as the Dragon King, the Wings of Darkness, and the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse. He was the first dragon transformed from a human in history, and he used Black Dragon Slayer Magic. It was a magic that could continually devour the opponents’ strength to become stronger.
Now Roy’s Dragon Slayer Magic ability also had this devouring attribute. It was no wonder that the number of souls spent exceeded Roy’s expectations. This was because the system had adapted and revised this ability.
The magic used in most of the worlds of the Infinite Worlds was virtually the same, and they would not break away from the various elements. In addition to the common elements such as fire, water, earth, wind, light, and dark, you could also subdivide elements into time, space, spirit, curse, blood, wood, metal, death, and so on. Elements formed the foundation of magic, and only magic could fight against magic. This was the truth that the mystic side of the world had always pursued. In a confrontation of magic, what was involved was the confrontation of elements. Anyone who used magic could never say that they were the only ones hitting others and that others could not hit them. To attack was to kill the enemy, while to defend was to protect yourself. This was why Roy had created the Cold Winter Armor. He was thinking of ways to increase his safety.
Now, it was great. Roy did not expect that his Dragon Slayer Magic could actually realize the attribute of devouring to strengthen. This meant that he could continually increase his resistance to elemental powers by challenging elemental dragons and devouring their magic in the future.
Although it was foreseeable that the growth of the elemental resistances would not be unlimited, and the effect would be weaker later on, it could at least infinitely approach magic immunity.
Roy reckoned that it was exceedingly difficult to achieve true magic immunity. If your magic was ineffective against an opponent, it did not mean that your opponent was immune to magic. It could only be said that your magic was not strong enough!
The closer to the limit, the more difficult it was. Roy had already faintly noticed some clues when he tried to have his frost power approach absolute zero…
Roy was in a good mood now. Although he could not experiment with the devouring characteristic of the Dragon Slayer Magic for the time being, the increases from it combined with the resistance of the Cold Winter Armor would make those powerful magic less damaging to him.
Those with the thickest armor stacked suffered the worst beatings. This saying was not actually correct because stacking thick armor would turn beatings into a tickle…
Now, Roy could not wait for Arantir to appear again so that his spectral dragon could perform an experiment for him.
Unfortunately, after five days, Arantir did not appear, as though he had really escaped from the Desert of Death. This puzzled Roy.
But what Roy did not know was that after Arantir retreated last time, he realized that he alone might not be able to eliminate Roy, so he left the Desert of Death and went to the kingdom of Heresh to try to convince the other death lords to join him.
With the spectral dragon, the Death Incarnation, as a mount, Arantir quickly returned to Heresh. But when he returned, he heard the news about Ulambus!
During this time, news of Roy destroying a city in the kingdom of Bracada spread quickly.
The news of the destruction of Ulambus shocked all of Bracada. The mages of Bracada quickly informed their neighbors and allies about the emergence of a new powerful demon! Even though they had always been at odds with the necromancers of Heresh, they still informed the kingdom of Heresh in the end and also wanted to use the power of Arantir.
However, when Bracada gathered an army and entered the Desert of Death in an attempt to find Arantir, it did not know that Arantir had already encountered Roy and that his army had been defeated… Although this world had teleportation magic, it actually did not have any good methods of instant communication. Especially when both sides did not know each other’s whereabouts, it was difficult to contact a specific person, especially in the Desert of Death, where it was possible to become lost at any time. Even if Bracada sent a large number of scouts, it would be useless. The scouts would not be able to find Arantir’s whereabouts at all.
