Chapter 654: Chapter 0651: Cutting Off Evil Thoughts (Third Update, Alliance Hierarch Additional Update 16/63)
On Dodo Island.
The fruit of the Human Skull Tree was abundant on the branches, unpicked by anyone. Few birds came to peck at them, and many Human Skull Fruits simply rotted on the tree.
Whenever Liszt visited, he would harvest some to take back, mainly to extract the seeds for planting in the Human Skull Tree plantation. However, he couldn’t be bothered to spend too much time picking Human Skull Fruits; his time was precious, and it wasn’t necessary to toil for a few seeds.
“Ach, wait here for me, I’m going to feed Little Fire Dragon Leo.”
“Mm,” Ach nodded simply, seeming somewhat preoccupied, still immersed in the extraordinary experience of touching the Magic Web.
Liszt went straight to the volcano crater; after a shout, the starving Leo instantly rushed out.
Liszt and Ach had gone to excavate ruins some time ago, so Leo had to go hungry on the island. Now, having turned into flesh and blood, Leo landed in front of Liszt and conveyed his discontent with a loud roar, “Oh hou!” His eyes were also fiercely aggressive.
As if Liszt was nothing more than his poop-scooper.
Seeing this, Liszt just smiled, not bothering to squabble with him further—it was nothing more than an ungrateful wolf:”Want some beef?”
Leo urged, “Oh hou!”
Liszt slowly pulled out the well-roasted steaks and handed them to Leo to gobble up. When Leo was halfway through, he started to offer steaks laced with Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit, bringing them to Leo’s mouth—knowing dragons were highly intelligent, Liszt was afraid it would become suspicious of the Mind Fruit, so he disguised it.
The excited Leo was utterly unaware of the sinister intentions of the human in front of him, roughly chewing the steak a couple of times before swallowing it down his throat.
After eating his fill, it was time for Leo to reciprocate and aid Liszt with his training.
Just as Leo was about to stand up and spout Dragon Breath, his head suddenly felt heavy, and he staggered, almost falling over. Seeing this, Liszt’s eyes lit up, but he made no move, instead continuing to observe—Leo’s staggering was just the beginning; soon, he stabilized his body, but his eyelids grew heavier with each moment.
As if he were falling asleep.
At this point, Liszt finally started to act. He quietly reached Leo’s back; Leo had no reaction, not even lifting his eyelids.
As he gradually climbed towards the position of the Dragon Tooth Platform, Leo seemed to sense something, his body weakly struggling. But the struggle was too slight; he couldn’t even turn his head around. He could only let Liszt help him to the Dragon Tooth Platform, guiding him by his scales.
This was between the shoulder blades and the front limbs, the intersection of the neck and the torso.
There was a basin-sized flat area, with a protruding bone in front, and vortices on both sides of the bone. Such a structure allowed one to ride comfortably.
Looking at the Dragon Tooth Platform before him, Liszt tried to contain his excitement, stepping on the vortices with his feet, and then sitting down on the Dragon Tooth Platform with his pounding heart. The next second, he felt invigorated, and the Dou Qi inside him irresistibly connected with the Magic Power underneath him from Leo.
Boom!
In an instant, the world changed, becoming still as if only he and the dragon existed. This feeling was so strange and indescribable. Then he felt himself floating… more accurately, his soul was floating, as if undergoing an out-of-body experience.
Without any sense of anxiety, only curiosity about the wondrous sensation.
As he flew, the scenery before him suddenly changed into another sight, a doomsday scene of a volcanic eruption. There he stood on the cliff over the volcano crater, opposite to a giant Fire Dragon bound by Rainbow Chains, its body flickering with flames, staring at him ferociously.
“Leo?”
Liszt was puzzled. The form resembled Little Fire Dragon Leo, but it was more than ten times larger in size, with a dreadfulness surpassing the graceful power of a dragon.
The Fire Dragon gave no response, instead gazing fixedly at Liszt, puffing flames from its nostrils.
It wanted to move, but was pulled back by the Rainbow Chains, rendering it immobile.
Taking advantage of this interlude,
Liszt looked down at himself, dressed in the leather armor he had worn today, without weapons or any other equipment, including the Gemstone Space on his chest: “Am I in a soul state?”
He looked at the Fire Dragon chained in front of him and then at the wisps of smoke swirling around his own body.
It seemed he understood the situation.
“Me… Leo… Is this an illusion that happened after mounting the Dragon Tooth Platform, or a spiritual connection?” Looking again at the colorful chains on the dragon and the smoky wisps on his own body resembling a Smoke Mission, “It should not be an illusion but some kind of psychic communication.”
After a pause,
he raised his head, without fear responding to the menacing gaze of the Fire Dragon: “This should be the initial ‘contract’ contest of the Dragon Tooth Platform? The power of the Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit should turn into Rainbow Chains that bind Leo’s mind, that is, the Evil Fire Dragon in front of me.”
And he himself was similarly a projection of the soul.
Only the smoke entwined around him seemed to be from another Smoke Dragon of the Holy Dragon Order. He waved his hand and naturally drew a wisp of smoke into his palm, “Is this what they call the Power of Destiny, that today I’ll be able to ride a dragon by crushing Leo’s spirit?”
Whoosh!
As if responding to Liszt’s thoughts.
Before him, the Leo bound with rainbow chains let out a deep roar.

Liszt smiled lightly, “The power of the Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit is truly formidable. If it were a normal battle of spirits, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be a match for the Evil Dragon. But now, it appears that crushing Leo’s spirit is as easy as pie… why not use this chance to test the power of destiny?”
His fingers trembled slightly.
The smoke wrapped around his body instantly gathered into his palm and, after a series of changes, solidified into a deep blue sword, his trusty Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword.
“Not right, not right, I need a Fire Attribute sword!”
His mind shifted at will.
The Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword instantly transformed into the fiery red of flame, with strands of Fire Attribute Mana dissipating and circulating outward.
Holding the hilt with satisfaction.
Liszt stepped toward the restrained Evil Fire Dragon, “Leo, I know you’re Leo, an Elemental Dragon with evil thoughts in your heart. That’s not good, not at all! I am a Knight filled with righteousness. As my mount, you must also uphold justice. Today, I shall cut away the evil thoughts from your heart!”
Having said this.
Clang!
The red Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword swung, and a powerful burst of Flame Dou Qi erupted in an instant, striking the head of the Evil Fire Dragon.
“Roar!”
The Fire Dragon screamed in pain, its head now split with a flaming wound.
It opened its huge maw to unleash Dragon Breath, but the glowing rainbow chains suppressed the breath before it could form.
Meanwhile, Liszt had launched a vicious attack, with strands of Flame Dou Qi relentlessly striking the head and body of the Evil Fire Dragon. Wounds split open, sending sparks flying everywhere and falling into the bottomless abyss of the Volcano Crater—both Liszt and the Evil Fire Dragon were standing on a cliff-like platform.
One sword strike.
Another.
And another.
The body of the Evil Fire Dragon gradually fell apart, yet Liszt did not let up the frenzied assault. Not until the Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword, formed by the Power of Destiny, shattered and returned to the ethereal smoke wrapping around Liszt’s body. Only then did the Evil Fire Dragon completely collapse.
Boom!
The Volcano Crater shook as if it would erupt at any moment. The cliff disintegrated, flames shooting in all directions. After an indeterminate amount of time, on the brink of eruption, from the crumbling platform and the ruins of the Evil Fire Dragon’s body, a newborn Little Fire Dragon slowly congealed.
Upon seeing Liszt, the Little Fire Dragon excitedly pounced towards him, landing at his feet and letting out joyous cries, “Oh hoo, oh hoo, oh hoo!”
And nudged its head against Liszt, signalling him to mount it.
Liszt obligingly mounted the Little Fire Dragon, which spread its wings and soared out of the Volcano Crater. At the same time, the crater collapsed completely, followed by an enormous column of magma bursting forth, accompanied by billowing black smoke shooting up into the sky.
“Oh hoo!”
The Little Fire Dragon cried out loudly.
Liszt turned his head to look at the apocalyptic scene behind him and couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter, “Hahaha!”
In the next moment, the view before him twisted like water, and he suddenly realized he had returned from the ephemeral world of the spirit to the real world. He was still astride Leo on the Dragon Tooth Platform, and Leo was, unexpectedly, lying on the ground sound asleep.
Sitting on Leo’s body, Liszt felt a sense of destiny melding together, as if the Leo before him shared the same blood as him, resonating with the same frequency of thoughts.
“Is this what it means to be a Dragon Knight?”
