Chapter 1014: Chapter 1011: It Belongs to Me Now

“There’s only one chance, one strike for a sure kill, hmm, indeed a perfect plan, which relieves me quite a bit. So it’s the Marquis of Boulder in cahoot with the Kushan Imperial, plotting against me… The Cloaked Bear-wearer should have been swept into the dustbin of history by now!”

It was hard for the Kushan Imperial and the Marquis of Boulder to imagine that their conspiracy had long been thoroughly seen through by Liszt.

And after seeing through the conspiracy, Liszt had actually relaxed, as all necessary preparations had been completed early on; now he just awaited the arrival of the second Mind Battle. At that time, he could counter their plans and ensnare the schemers from the Kushan Imperial in one go, and take the opportunity to snatch away the underaged Aluminum Dragon.

“Now for the next few months, just carry on as usual.”

Liszt intended to go about his activities as usual over these months, waiting for Picart Earthrage from the Marquis of Boulder to initiate the Mind Battle, before he would move to confront the conspiracy. However, just a month had passed when new information was delivered by a Blood Servant: Picart had bonded well with the Aluminum Dragon.

It only took a month, and not many silver coins had been spent to already gain the Aluminum Dragon’s favor, preparing Picart for the Mind Battle.

This was an unexpected contingency; no one had thought that Picart and the Aluminum Dragon would bond so well.

There were almost signs of a prearrangement.

Because of this, Liszt could not wait any longer, “Ach, get ready. Let’s set off for Firm Earth right now, witness this Mind Battle, and brace for the ensuing conspiracy.”

“Mhm, brother, don’t worry — Ach is fully prepared.”

Subsequently, the two headed for Firm Earth and stealthily hid at the edge of the material boundary, watching from afar the Aluminum Dragon and the circling Picart. They even checked the camp of the Earth Fury Family, finding no unusual presence there, just some ordinary Knights.

If it weren’t for the reminder from the Smoke Mission and the reports from the Blood Servants, Liszt might actually believe this was a friendly collaboration.

But now, he remained extremely vigilant and had Ach follow closely behind, secretly protecting himself within the material boundary.

With Ach’s capability for instantaneous Super Magic, he could block any assassination attempt at once.

“It seems everything is normal; however, it is precisely this state of normality that hints at something abnormal. Be careful, Ach.”

“Don’t worry, brother — Ach will protect you!”

“Not just me, you must also take good care of yourself.”

Liszt smiled and then, riding the Formless Dragon, appeared openly to greet Marquis Pilof as a way to lure the snake out of its hole, “Marquis Pilof, your son is quite remarkable, to have won over the Aluminum Dragon in such a short time.”

“Ha-ha, thank Your Majesty for the praise. It’s all due to Picart’s own efforts, but he cannot compare to Your Majesty. To tame an Aluminum Dragon is to have the glory of a Knight shine upon the Earth Fury Family,” Pilof couldn’t contain his excitement, trying to remain composed but unable to calm down.

Dragon!

The Dragons at the pinnacle of power in this world!

And the Dragon Knights who harness them will establish a state belonging to their family and ascend into the ranks of the Dragon Rearing Families! For this opportunity, the Earth Fury Family was willing to risk everything.

Soon after, Liszt, Pilof, and Piero of Duke Grey Iron were sitting together in the same tent.

Duke Grey Iron Piero’s entire face was green as if his wife had been tormented by someone else for three days and three nights. The Aluminum Dragon was discovered by his illegitimate son and took the family’s vast resources to attempt taming it. Now, just one step short, he stands to lose both the dragon and wealth; how could he be calm and collected.

Behind him was another bastard, a very young Knight who, given the chance, would be the next to attempt Dragon Riding.

Currently, this young Knight’s eyes were also green with envy, wishing he could instantly devour Picart to prevent him from Dragon Riding.

Marquis Pilof of Boulder wore a full-faced smile, not minding Piero’s rage at all. It was a glorious moment for the Earth Fury Family, why not smile.

As for Liszt, he appeared serene, seemingly unconcerned whether Picart would successfully ride the Dragon or not.

In reality, he was exceptionally focused and ready to transform into a Phoenix at any moment to escape Kushan Imperial’s deadly plot.

The Bone Dragon Vinnie formed a faint skull pattern on his face, which would immediately transform into armor to protect Liszt and provide him with a Divine weapon – the Bone Dragon Sword – should any battle break out.

Little Fire Dragon Leo remained vigilant as well, ready to burst out and transform into a majestic Fire Dragon for a head-on battle.

Formless Dragon Bard had slipped into the material boundary, constantly alert to prevent other Dragon Knights from stealthily approaching. Ach and Unicorn Charlie stood on the back of the Formless Dragon, also preparing to take action.

Now everything was ready, all that was missing was the east wind.

And this east wind was actually hidden within the camp, in a tent where two individuals dressed as Knights were observing something through a mirror-like device. There was no reflective surface on the mirror, only magical runes forming strange patterns that flickered on and off.

“Counselor, the mage called Acherloides is right above the camp, while the target is inside the tent. Should we make our move now?”

“Do you have a guaranteed kill if we move now?”

“I’m confident I can take out Liszt directly, then use the Jade Fruit to incapacitate the Formless Dragon. But are you sure you can hold off that Sea Monster Magician?”

“The young Archmage, who has reportedly mastered both the Water and Ice Elements, is still not enough in my presence.”

“Dominance. I admire that dominance of yours Counselor. So let’s begin the assassination!”

“Shall we not wait? Should we start the assassination when Picart engages in the Mind Battle? Starting now, our preparation isn’t sufficient and Liszt’s attention won’t be easily diverted.”

“You might be good at plotting conspiracies Counselor, but assassinations are my forte. An assassin who truly walks in the shadows never needs to be fully prepared, only to catch the victim by surprise!” the Knight-clad assassin declared, as he took off his armor and stripped off his clothes.

Naked, his body was covered in black patterns, dense and intricate like a layer of silk-tight clothing.

Next moment.

The assassin, as if diving into a river, jumped directly into the corner shadows of the tent. His body seemed to melt and merge into the shadows.

Watching the assassin disappear, the other Knight, known as the Counselor, also removed his armor, and from a box beside him, he donned a luxurious golden Magic Cloak. He took out a magic staff adorned with a dozen gemstones and held it in his hand, activating each gemstone in turn.

Then he glanced again at the mirror device in his hands. When the magical runes on it formed the correct pattern,

He, with a face showing signs of age, put on a stern expression, sharply stabbing the magic staff into the ground and activating all the gemstones at once.

Next moment.

A golden Light burst from the top of the magic staff, radiating like sunlight in all directions, lighting up all the space instantly. In the blink of an eye, the golden light covered a radius of over a hundred kilometers. Above and below, everywhere was bathed in magic light as brilliant as the sun’s rays.

“Sunlight illuminates everything; there’s nowhere to hide!” whispered the elderly magician.

At the same time.

The tent where Liszt was located, too, was penetrated by this dazzling light, casting faint human shadows on the ground. Just then, Liszt felt a sudden jolt in his heart; his pupils dilated rapidly as he saw a distorted human figure leaping out from his own shadow.

The twisted figure held a gruesome greatsword composed of countless shattered crystals, which pierced straight through Liszt’s chest. The Thunder Roar Armor, acquired from the previous Light Green Gemstone Dragon Knight Carlo Violet, offered no protection whatsoever.

Without even a chance to react, he was skewered through the heart by the shattered crystal greatsword.

“Death is like the wind, always at my side!”

The twisted figure let out a grating laugh, a taunt as well as a declaration of death.

The very next second, the twisted figure unhesitatingly leapt out of Liszt’s shadow, its gloomy body bending down, legs coiled, ready to spring toward the diving, rescue-bound Formless Dragon.

But before he could leap,

A giant Ice Block had already crashed down from above. He was ready to dodge, but suddenly felt his back seared as if by a red-hot iron.

A Flame had mysteriously wrapped around his body, and a detached voice reached his ears: “Death is like the wind, always at my side? I quite like that line of yours, but it belongs to me now.”
