Chapter 5 The Origin of Magic

If it were the late stage now, Cassius would choose the mage without hesitation, after all, the mage is not just for fun.

A mage with full preparation and a rich family background is sure to defeat any enemy of the same level. In the later stage, there are also powerful branch professions such as time mage that control the power of time and space.

However, the mage has a fatal flaw in the early stage - the meter needs to be read.

Yes, magic is a science in the eyes of mages and needs to be learned.

Only by understanding how to build a spell model and mastering the various magic network parameters of the spell through the spell scroll, and after a long period of study, can a spell be successfully obtained.

But now Cassius is penniless and has only some magic equipment on him.

You can't go to a human town to learn magic in the body of a dragon, right?

Do you have to go to the magic academy?

Warlocks are different. Their spells are all "fallen from the sky". Of course, there is a word that can better describe it - gifted.

After thinking for a moment, Cassius still made his own choice.

[Choose to upgrade the profession of Warlock]

[Detected that you have dragon blood]

[Automatically selected as Dragon Vein Warlock - Red Dragon Bloodline]

Dragons are powerful magical creatures that are naturally proficient in many aspects of supernatural phenomena.

Dragons of any age, even young dragons, can have the Warlock profession level.

Ancient scholars believe that the ability of Warlocks is inherited from dragons, perhaps from marriages many generations ago.

More importantly, the Warlock's spellcasting level can be superimposed with the Dragon's natural spellcasting level, allowing the dragon to fully utilize its bloodline, so that the power in its body can be more powerful.

For example, the famous ancient red dragon Imvarnao devoted himself to controlling the power of fire magic and had a spellcasting level of up to 40.

[Your Warlock level is raised to level 1]

[[Origin of Magic]: Magic itself is a component of Warlock. This potential power permeates the body, mind and soul of the Warlock, waiting to be released. ]

[No one can choose magic, it is the magic that chooses you. ]

[You get 4 tricks and 2 1st level spells]

A rich list of spells appeared on the light screen.

[Get the tricks [Hand of the Mage], [True Strike], [Magic Trick], [Minor Illusion]]

[Get the 1st level spells [Mist Cloud], [Magic Missile]]

It is still the standard early stage combination.

But when he upgraded his profession in his previous life, Cassius only got the cold display data and did not find any difference.

And now he realized the incredible power.

"This feeling."

Spells appeared in his mind one by one.

No, this is not out of thin air.

It is more like innate and gifted.

This precious knowledge penetrates into the body, memory, and even attaches to the will.

[Hand of the Mage]

As soon as Cassius thought about it, an invisible hand appeared out of thin air, picked up a stone on the ground and threw it out.

Even the lowest level spells and the simplest actions made the red dragon feel a little surprised.

Because this power does not come from some magic item or program, but from himself.

Compared with the scientific rigor of the mage's spellcasting, the warlock's spellcasting is more like an art.

There is no need to carefully construct a spell model, nor to calculate the various parameters of the magic network. You only need to use your consciousness to feel the magic network, and then project your will into reality to make it come true.

Therefore, the gifted warlocks are often envied and despised by mages because they can easily cast powerful spells, and they are nicknamed "barbarians among spellcasters" and "orcs with staffs".

"It's amazing."

The red dragon walked over the huge remains of the owl bear that had been eaten by most of it, and walked out of the cave with a brisk pace.

He understood why the spellcasters of Erezega were so arrogant. This feeling of controlling the real world would give people an illusion that they were like gods in front of ordinary people.

However, the prompt text on the panel was not over yet.

[【Bloodline Tracing】The bloodline from the ancient red dragon fills your body with the power of blazing fire. ]

[You gain affinity with fire elemental magic, and fire damage will be increased]

[[Breath Weapon (Fire)] is enhanced]

[Get additional trick [Fire Arrow]]

Casius's golden vertical pupils are set off by blazing flames, and his body is like an erupting volcano.

His heart beats strongly, pumping the fire elemental energy to his body, and his blood is as hot and undulating as pulsating magma.

[Tracing your bloodline heritage...]

The red dragon closed his eyes, and an illusion appeared in his mind.

It seemed to be an unknown ancient battlefield in the outer plane, with a magnificent metal wall hundreds of meters high in the distance.

An ancient red dragon waved his huge wings, rolling up a gust of wind, and the winged heavenly army below was blown to the ground.

He opened his huge mouth and spit out a terrifying flame that was unimaginable to mortals, burning and distorting the air.

The solid wall melted in an instant, a huge gap appeared, and the metal turned into boiling liquid and slowly flowed down.

The Asen angel with a dragon's head and a human body waved his staff and cast a spell. Several celestial statues tens of meters tall leaped high into the air and pounced on the ancient red dragon in the sky. The silver-haired Barani angels also drew their bows and arrows and shot them into the sky.

However, compared to the entire grand battlefield, even this ancient red dragon seemed insignificant.

"Roar——"

In the distance, a terrifying monster with five ferocious dragon heads roared to the sky, spread its wings that covered the sky, and slowly rose into the sky.

Suddenly, a hurricane surged and dust flew.

Dark shadows covered the earth, as if the end of the world had come.

In the illusion, Cassius couldn't help but look up at the sky.

However, he clearly saw that among the heads that looked down on all living things, there was a red dragon head that was very similar to his own, staring down at him condescendingly, and the corners of the ferocious mouth seemed to have a little arc.

The head slowly opened: "My child."

The voice seemed to come from the depths of the soul, and the red dragon suddenly felt a strong pressure from the blood.

This terrible power made him want to bow his head and kneel down, and submit to the power of this god.

"He saw me!"

The alarm bells in the red dragon's heart rang loudly.

The next moment, the sky of the illusion cracked like broken glass.

Whether it was the ancient red dragon, the celestial colossus, or the terrifying five-headed figure in the sky, everything in the illusion was shattered.

"Hu, hu."

"Hu"

Casius barely escaped from the suffocating pressure, gasping for breath, his whole body stiff and trembling.

The red dragon looked at the game panel in front of him with an extremely surprised look. He suddenly found that the panel was like a virus and began to refresh the information frantically.

[Warning! ]

[Warning! ]

[Warning! ]

[You are being watched by the god [Tiamat, the mother of evil dragons]]

[The mind shielding system has been activated]

[You are facing the god [Tiamat, the mother of evil dragons], and you may undergo unexpected changes. ]

Casius looked at the data refreshed on the panel, feeling lingering fear, but helpless.

"Is this the power of the gods? It's so terrifying."

"Ancient Plane Battlefield."

"Did I see the true form of Tiamat?"

In the previous life of Erezega, even if the player's power limit has reached the legendary level (that is, level 21), the power of the gods is still a mystery. Almost no one has ever witnessed the true form of any god, even if it is a weak divine power.

As for the so-called "killing gods", it is pure fantasy.

A big player once said, "As long as you show the blood bar, even gods will kill you."

But in fact, the power level of gods is completely unimaginable for ordinary things, and they are set to exist "without blood bars".

This is the power of gods. Just staring at their true form in the illusion may also cause terrible consequences.

But for him, a fledgling dragon, the ancient red dragon, the inter-dimensional war, and even Tiamat, everything seems too far away and too grand.

If a powerful existence really has any ideas about him, he has no power to resist now.

Therefore, instead of worrying about the gods in the outer plane, it is better to steadily improve your strength first and make plans in the future.

"But since you have been noticed, as a red dragon, I still have to pay tribute to the old man Tiamat in the future."

"Don't let him bear a grudge against you."

Casius jumped up lightly, flapped his strong wings, and gradually circled into the air.

"Next, I have to gain some experience."

The red dragon stared at the endless woods and the mountains in the distance, and couldn't help but let out a long roar. The slightly immature voice already had some of the majesty of a giant dragon.
