The Mighty Dragons Are Dead

The arrival of Kenley Truth brought many new magical ideas to the Magic Guild, as well as a large collection of Magic Books. In particular, her experience studying with the Court Grand Mage helped her understand the mainstream development of the magical world in the Steel Ridge Kingdom, which was outside the scope of what magicians from remote island nations could access.

However, there were Archmages here.

Liszt had the intention to mythologize Ach, avoiding arranging too many interactions between Ach and the common magicians, and he did not disclose the methods of advancing to Archmage. In truth, even if he disclosed it, it wouldn't matter much; in the current state of the Magic Web's contraction, telling Grand Magicians how to touch the Magic Web wouldn't help them to actually reach it.

Even a talent like Ach had barely touched the Magic Web with the help of Mermaid's Tear.

How could the common folk fathom the unattainability of the Magic Web?

He hoped more to wield Ach's influence to guide magicians to serve their territory and, when a magician made a contribution, to arrange for Ach to give them a bit of guidance. Only magicians who were wholeheartedly devoted to the Magic Guild and who were powerful Grand Magicians could earn the privilege to follow Ach. Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire

Currently, only Chris had the privilege to follow Ach, while the twins Lucy and Ruth were not included; they were magic seeds cultivated by Liszt himself.

After reading the knowledge brought by Kenley and others and under the collision of new thinking combined with the Earth knowledge provided by Liszt, Ach quickly developed the third Super Magic—a Centrifugal Water Molecular Shield.

This magic involved a special Magic Array that caused magic particles to move in uniform circular motion, separating the Water-Attribute Magic Power from the Chaotic Magic Power and then generating a stable magic shield. The circular magic shield had an exceptionally strong defense, nearly able to withstand a casual hit from a Dragon Knight.

Without a doubt, once this Super Magic could be instantly cast, Ach would play a significant role in aiding Liszt in battle.

It was not only about shielding for Liszt but also about protecting herself.

If a competent support couldn't even protect themselves, how could they protect the front-line damage dealer?

As Ach succeeded in developing three Super Magics, Liszt still hadn't managed to figure out the fourth move of "Fire Dragon Knight-Dragon Knight's Manual."

However, after experiencing the volcanic eruption, Liszt had made some progress—he could now use Leo's Dragon Might and stimulate it himself to intimidate the enemy. It was a very good offensive tactic, especially when unexpected and particularly against Magical Beasts.

He had envied the Grand Duke for displaying Dragon Might while fishing and acting cool, and now he could finally exude Dragon Might himself.

He was delighted.

However, just then, the sisters Lucy and Ruth, who had started to master the operation of the Magic Platform, brought him explosive news.

The news came from the Adventure Fleet: "On the sailing chart at XX direction... encountered a terrifying Sea Monster resembling a giant sea turtle. Initially thought to be a small reef, but realized it was a Sea Monster on approach. The Opportunity was too close, and when the sea turtle suddenly rose, it looked like a small island, lifting the Opportunity out of the water. The Sea Monster is now slowly moving southeast, requesting Lord Landlord's rescue."

"A Sea Monster comparable to a small island?"

Liszt immediately thought of the Thunder Attribute turtle shell worn by Emily, and this Sea Monster could be a type of Super Dragon Beast: "It's even possible that the clue for the Super Dragon Beast from the Smoke Mission isn't the Unicorn mentioned by Kenley, but the sea turtle Sea Monster reported by the Adventure Fleet?"

Whether it is or it isn't, the rescue must commence.

Battling Sea Monsters wasn't Liszt's forte, so he could only send Ach, and with Ach's identity as a Water Mage, even daring to fight against a Water Dragon, let alone a Super Dragon Beast.

...

They set out according to the directions on the sailing chart.

The Adventure Fleet was now searching for groups of islands south of the Three Islands, and it was pure luck to find the Three Islands in the vast sea. Therefore, when heading further south, luck was no longer on their side, and finding islands wasn't so easy; they hadn't seen even a shadow of an island for over ten days.

That's why, when they saw that turtle Sea Monster, they mistook it for a reef, thinking that where there are reefs, there may also be islands nearby.

Approaching in a hurry caused the Sea Monster to startle and move, forcing the Opportunity to run aground.

"We are now over thirteen hundred kilometers away from Black Horse Island. At the speed of Ach controlling the watercraft, it should take about two and a half hours. I hope that in this time, the turtle Sea Monster doesn't get restless and destroy my Opportunity," Liszt mumbled to himself. The Grand Duke had only given him six Court Fast Sailing Ships.

The dockyard had yet to fully grasp the manufacturing technology of three-masted sailing ships, and the destruction of each Court Fast Sailing Ship represented a huge loss.

The Flame Number rapidly loaded up large quantities of supplies prepared for the Adventure Fleet and set sail an hour later under Ach's control, headed immediately towards the accident area.

Two and a half hours later, they arrived precisely, but there was no sign of the Adventure Fleet. Liszt called out for Leo, mounted him, and began a slow aerial search.

With constant communication with the Adventure Fleet through the Magic Platform, they finally pinpointed the fleet's location.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for coming to our rescue!" Yevich Water Peanut, with a face turned purplish-red by the sea wind, dispensed with formalities and went straight to the point: "The Sea Monster is swimming one kilometer ahead. It isn't moving fast, but we dare not approach it for fear of provoking it again and causing unnecessary loss."

At that moment, the Trident-Styled Rending Staff trembled as Virginia Truth, transformed from the Necrofish Ugly, appeared, "Your Highness, I've tried to approach the great Sea Monster, but it is extremely sensitive to me. I can sense its abhorrence of my undead identity."

"I understand. Get ready to rescue the Opportunity. Leave the Sea Monster to me."

After inquiring, Liszt handed over the Flame Number to Yevich for managing and transporting supplies, while he himself mounted the Little Fire Dragon Leo, flew up to assist Ach. There was no doubt that Ach was the main force in this battle.

"Be careful."

"Don't worry, brother. Ach will definitely protect himself."

Having said this, the Nixie swiftly swam forward.

Liszt, concealing his Dragon Might and using the Dragon Eye Trajectory, continually swept his gaze ahead. The Magic Radiance feedback from the turtle Sea Monster shone in a purplish-white color, clearly indicating that it was a Thunder-Attribute Sea Monster.

Moreover, the intensity of the Magic Radiance indeed warranted the title of a Super Dragon Beast.

Most importantly, the concentration of Magic Power in the turtle shell was the most vigorous, which compelled Liszt to associate it with that palm-sized turtle shell he got from the Fire Dragon Knight, Carlo.

"Judging by eye, the diameter of the turtle shell is close to a hundred meters, meaning this Sub-dragon Turtle is probably larger than an adult Fire Dragon… Thankfully, even with its rich Magic Power, it can't compare to that of a dragon's, otherwise I'd really start to wonder if dragons truly stand at the pinnacle of strength among all creatures."

In the midst of his observations, Ach had already approached the Sub-dragon Turtle.

However, she didn't immediately attack, as if she was confronting the Sub-dragon Turtle. At this moment, the Sub-dragon Turtle also noticed Ach, stopped moving, and slowly turned around.

On its turtle shell, indeed, there was a stranded fast sailing ship.

This Sub-dragon Turtle had lived for who knows how many years, its shell covered in corals, making it truly resemble a reef in the middle of the sea at first glance.
