Smarag suddenly spread her massive wings, getting accustomed to her new strength and body.
Her wings became larger and wider, almost connecting to her entire back, yet they were more flexible, allowing her to soar better through the sky.
She stood there, exuding a powerful aura, with golden lightning energy and glintstone energy spreading around her.
Lightning and storms are abilities only Ancient Dragons can possess, while the power of Flying Dragons comes from their surroundings.
For example, those living in areas with abundant glintstone energy become Glintstone Dragons, those living in snowy regions become Ice Dragons, and those living in corrupted areas become Rotten Dragons.
Now, she not only mastered the power of lightning and storms, but also the power of Glintstone Dragons, and the two powers resonated with each other, allowing her to directly create lightning-based sorceries.
Name: Titan King's Blessing.
Type: Incantation & Sorcery
Description: The first legendary magic to perfectly fuse the power of Ancient Dragons and Flying Dragons.
It is said that Smarag, a Flying Dragon of the Lands Between, comprehended it herself the moment she transformed into a Dragon. It grants the blessing of the Titan King, transforming one's magic into Dragon power.
Smarag only glimpsed a corner of the King's mighty power and was completely subdued from body to mind, becoming the King's most unwavering warrior.
"Thank you for your grace, great Dragon King Xiao!"
Smarag said with deep gratitude, bowing deeply to show her respect and loyalty to Xiao.
Xiao had generously bestowed upon her such immense power, a power that brought her one step closer to demigodhood.
At this moment, she finally understood what Xiao had said.
They were neither Ancient Dragons nor Flying Dragons, but more powerful Dragons that perfectly inherited the characteristics of both Ancient Dragons and Flying Dragons.
This realization made Smarag incredibly excited, so much so that she no longer added the suffix "Placidusax" to Xiao's name.
After comforting the excited Smarag, Xiao transformed back into human form, stepped onto her head, and entered her dragon lair together with her.
Compared to the palm-sized dragon lair in the original game, this place was a world apart.
Xiao had originally expected a narrow, cramped, damp, and dark environment, but it was unexpectedly spacious and bright, clean and tidy, with the divisions between the caves resembling a grand palace.
Moreover, Smarag most likely used some glintstone sorcery to stabilize the environment, causing the entire space to be filled with rich glintstone magic.
Comfortable magic filled every corner, making one feel extremely comfortable; with just a breath, one could feel the glintstone magic surging within their body, constantly nourishing it.
Xiao searched carefully for a while but could not find the corpse of the Academy sorcerer who possessed the glintstone key, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
He couldn't help but ask, "Smarag, do you have a glintstone key among your collectibles?"
Hearing this, Smarag lay on the ground, extended her newly grown forelimb, and scratched her chin, trying to recall her memories.
After a while, she replied, "A glintstone key… I think I have some impression, but I'm not very sure."
Seeing this, Xiao immediately projected the appearance of the glintstone key from the game and asked Smarag, "Something like this?"
"Oh, it's that! Yes, yes, yes, how could I forget such a beautiful thing?"
Smarag immediately ran to the side hall, rummaged through her pile of treasures, and found a magnificent key with a lavish appearance, inlaid with various gems.
After Xiao took the glintstone key, he used Dimension Sight to appraise its attributes:
Name: Academy Glintstone Key (Special)
Type: Item
Description:
A key related to the seals on the two main gates of Raya Lucaria Academy, capable of activating the hidden teleportation magic within the seals.
The glintstone key remembers its user.
Therefore, once used, it cannot be given to others; the Academy does not wish for outsiders to approach.
After confirming the key's authenticity, Xiao directly put it into the Cyber Dimension.
Then he turned to Smarag and said, "Take me to Raya Lucaria Academy."
Smarag nodded, led Xiao to the open ground outside the lair, let Xiao continue to sit on her back, and spread her wings to soar through the air.
The Dragon's flight speed was extremely fast; in less than half a day, Smarag carried Xiao to the main gate of Raya Lucaria Academy.
The shield outside the Academy continued to protect it at all times; the sorcerers inside merely glanced at Smarag and chose to ignore her.
During this time, Caria had sent more than one wave of people to try to welcome back their Full Moon Queen, but they all returned empty-handed. In their view, no invading enemy could break the Academy's seal, so they were not flustered at all.
"King, I tried this sealed barrier before, and I couldn't open it at all!"
Smarag landed and, using an unfamiliar spell, transformed into a tall woman with dragon horns on her head. She looked at the massive seal at the entrance and told Xiao helplessly.
"I know, so haven't I brought the key?"
Xiao showed a confident smile and pulled out the glintstone key from the Cyber Dimension.
Immediately afterward, with a flick of his wrist, the key in his hand instantly transformed into two.
In just half a day, all the secrets of the glintstone key had been analyzed by the Cyber Dimension and easily replicated through Cyber Aura.
"Ah~~~"
This miraculous scene startled everyone present, especially Smarag. Her eyes widened as she took the glintstone key in disbelief.
At this moment, the Academy sorcerers standing in front of the sealed gate also became completely agitated; the enemy had actually found the key to enter the Academy and could even replicate it at will. This was a matter of utmost importance.
Accompanied by alarm bells, countless Academy sorcerers assembled and came to the portal, holding longswords made of glintstone magic and glintstone staves, ready to strike.
"Kill all who resist!"
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Xiao's eyes as he unhesitatingly waved the glintstone key, drawing it across the seal on the Academy's main gate.
Seeing this, Smarag was not to be outdone. A ferocious smile appeared on her face, which was interspersed with dragon scales, and she also cut through the seal with a glintstone key.
In an instant, a strange spatial distortion occurred, and their figures disappeared from their original spot. When they reappeared, they were already inside the Academy.
"Boom, boom, boom~~~"
Countless glintstone sorceries, like a dazzling meteor shower, streaked across the sky and rushed toward Xiao at astonishing speed.
However, Xiao merely raised his hand lightly, seemingly unconcerned about the overwhelming attacks.
"Dark End!"
At that moment, a massive black sun floated in the air like a black hole that devoured everything, instantly absorbing all the glintstone sorceries.
