Chapter 21 (1/2)

The set of ways to improve combat aura explained how to build up, condense, release and attach combat aura. The other part included sixteen types of battle techniques.

There were five body movements, namely Dragon Charge, Dragon Leap, Dragon Jump, Dragon Soar, and Dragon Submersion.

The five basic moves included Dragon Pierce, Dragon Knock, Dragon Smash, Dragon Twist, and Dragon Drill.

The five advanced moves were Dragon Swing, Dragon Sweep, Dragon Storm, Dragon Roll, and Dragon Assault.

The ultimate skill was Heart of Fiery Dragon.

That was all of Dragon Drill. They also sounded like a perfect match with his horse.

At this moment, Liszt was riding Fire Dragon almost as a part of the horse, with a shield made of fine steel in his left hand protecting him as well as the horse, and a spear more than three meters long in his right hand.

The grass on the desolate land near the castle had been cut, revealing the yellow, barren soil below.

The hooves of the horse stomped on the damp ground, leaving uneven marks, while the horse galloped forth in a cluster of fire. Liszt released his combat aura on horseback and attached it to his shield, his spear, and his horse.

Very soon, both he and the horse were covered in fire.

Then, Liszt roared, “Heart of Fiery Dragon!”

Fire Dragon leaped high, and the spear stabbed forth quickly. Immediately, countless shadows that looked exactly like him flashed and crashed into the boulder ahead.

What an astonishing attack!

BOOM!

The boulder, as tall as a man, was blown into pieces. The sky rained fire and broken rock. By the time the dust settled, Liszt had already ridden out of the range of explosion.

His silver suit of armor was scratched and blackened.

Opening his mask, Liszt smiled as casually as before. It’s rather powerful. This attack could’ve beaten a Rampant Earth Dog half to death if it hit the target.

Da! Da! Da! Da! Da! Da!

Hoofbeats approached. Marcus and Goltai arrived with Liszt’s squires.

“Oh, heavens! Liszt, you are truly a genius. I saw it. Was it Heart of Fiery Dragon, the ultimate skill of Dragon Drill? You’ve grasped the technique in less than a week?” Goltai liked to talk in an exaggerated tone.

Marcus circled the broken stones, equally surprised. “The force was evenly distributed. No stones are larger than a fist. It means that you are fluent with the skill. Even regular earth knights can barely do that.”

He eyed Liszt in disbelief.

Before, the earl’s third child had been a standard loser. He had the best food and tonics, but his combat aura was not even as good as a civilian knight’s. However, he had seized a mid-level technique in a week after he became an earth knight.

Marcus remembered how it took him a month and a half to grasp the ultimate skill of Against the Wind.
