The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 729 - 0726: The First Dragon Knight (Second Update)

Chapter 729 -0726: The First Dragon Knight (Second Update)

The location of Dragon Tooth Platform was quite wondrous.

It sat at the juncture where the dragon’s neck met its torso, right at the center of the shoulder blades of its wings. When the dragon flapped its wings to fly, the Dragon Tooth Platform was perfectly sheltered by the wings. This ensured the knight’s safety; only when their back was exposed would the knight be vulnerable.

The gap left between the wings and the neck was the Dragon Knight’s area for attack.

The length of the Dragon Lance didn’t need to be longer than the dragon’s body, as the Dragon Dou Qi could be projected outward. The lance only needed to ensure it could reach through the gaps created by the vibrating wings, aiming in all directions. Real close-quarter killing required the dragon to cooperate by rolling over so the knight could attack back to back.

At other times, the dragon would act as the main force in close combat, and the knight would focus on outputting Dou Qi.

Therefore, the dragon was the knight’s perfect mount, and the Dragon Knight was the best example of unity between rider and steed. The dragon’s strength, combined with the human’s intelligence, made the Dragon Knight the pinnacle force ruling the world.

The fallen Light Green Gemstone Dragon had lost the ability to protect its own Dragon Tooth Platform.

Liszt didn’t know whether any Dragon Knights had successfully mounted dragons in this manner, but with the opportunity before him, he was not about to miss it.

“Good, the Light Green Gemstone Dragon fell without any guard, leaving the Dragon Tooth Platform fully exposed and in a perfect position for riding.” With a leap, he jumped onto the neck of the Light Green Gemstone Dragon, then walked a few steps to reach the Dragon Tooth Platform, planting his feet firmly in the hollows of the bone.

He then sat down on it.

In an instant, his mind wavered, feeling his inner Dou Qi begin to surge, as if wanting to merge seamlessly with the Magic Power of the Light Green Gemstone Dragon. But after several surges, the connection broke at critical moments, as if the Magic Power of the Light Green Gemstone Dragon was incapable of making the connection, unable to support the Mind Battle.

This was entirely different from Liszt’s first time riding Leo.

Back then, when he first mounted Leo’s Dragon Tooth Platform, the connection between Dou Qi and Magic Power was made instantly, followed by his mind rushing into Leo’s, initiating the Mind Battle.

“Is the Light Green Gemstone Dragon too weak, or is it resisting my Dragon Riding?” With this thought, Liszt decided to take the offensive, frantically circulating his Dou Qi, following the trajectory used when riding Leo, forcefully capturing the Magic Power of the Light Green Gemstone Dragon to complete the connection.

The approach was somewhat brutal, but it soon proved effective.

When the Magic Power connected with the Dou Qi, capitalizing on the unique properties of Dou Qi and Magic Power, Liszt quickly felt an added pressure on top of him, as if he were trying to open his eyes while lying in a difficult state on a sickbed. The heaviness of his eyelids almost completely shut out his senses several times, urging him to fall into a deep sleep.

Having experienced one Mind Battle before, Liszt endured this sensation, opening his eyes. In the next moment, the scenery before him changed.

This was a world emanating a rich aroma of liquor.

He was standing on a huge bone from an unknown animal, surrounded by countless other bones—all soaked in water that reeked of alcohol. Undoubtedly, it was liquor.

In the depths among the bones, there was a giant Light Green Gem, which was shattered, with each crack seeping out liquor.

Above the gemstone, a Light Green Gemstone Dragon lay asleep.

“So this is the Light Green Gemstone Dragon’s spiritual incarnation? If I defeat it, can I win the Mind Battle?” Liszt tried to take a few steps forward, puzzled as to why the Light Green Gemstone Dragon’s inner world was such a mess, akin to a drunkard’s fantasy world.

Could it be that the Light Green Gemstone Dragon was actually a drunkard dragon?

And these bones, what did they mean? Did they represent its fondness for gnawing on bones?

But these were secondary concerns. The most important task at hand was to kill the slumbering Light Green Gemstone Dragon, just as he had slain the evil dragon bound by Rainbow Iron Chains in Leo’s mind world.

“Come forth, my great sword!”

With a gentle call, the smoke coiling around him, imbued with the power of the Smoke Dragon, instantly transformed into a Fire Attribute Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword—he was actually somewhat curious whether this sword was a projection of his mind, a manifestation of the Power of Destiny, or if the two were inherently one and the same.

Perhaps the Power of Destiny had long since merged with his mind, inseparable from one another.

He leaped forward.

Jumping onto the fractured, gigantic Light Green Gem, he observed the sleeping Light Green Gemstone Dragon up close. The dragon showed no reaction. It seemed that, as in the real world where it was gravely injured and comatose, its mind world was similarly wounded and unconscious. Especially since its body was covered in cracks, as if it might shatter at any moment.

“This isn’t even a challenge.” Liszt smiled lightly, raising his fiery red great sword, ready to completely annihilate the mind avatar of the Light Green Gemstone Dragon.

But just then, there was a sudden flash before his eyes.

A fully armored knight appeared abruptly in front of him, and with a five-meter long Dragon Lance, he parried Liszt’s fiery red great sword.

Then he charged swiftly towards him, attempting to run Liszt through with his spear.

“What is this?”

Liszt’s reaction was nothing if not quick. He dodged and leapt aside, continuously evaluating the knight that had suddenly appeared. Just one look was all it took for him to seemingly understand the knight’s identity—Abraham Moonlight Silver, a member of the Royal Family of Dragon Knights from the Eagle Kingdom over three hundred years ago.

He was also the First Dragon Knight of the Light Green Gemstone Dragon, the one who left the Mind Branding.

“So you are the Mind Branding of the Dragon Knight. Does that mean that defeating you is the key to winning the Mind Battle?” Liszt wondered whether other Dragon Knights had to make an agreement with their Mind Branding or if they too had to kill the mind avatar of the Dragon Knight.

But he knew what he had to do was fight.

A longer reach gives a greater advantage!

The Mind Branding of Abraham Moonlight Silver was merely a projection of will, but it possessed all the combat experience of a Dragon Knight. It was unknown how powerful he had been in life, but any Dragon Knight capable of leaving a Mind Branding was certainly a Completion-term Dragon Knight and would not be weak.

After several bouts of fierce combat.

Liszt found that he couldn’t gain even the slightest upper hand and was utterly suppressed by the other’s relentless Dragon Lance.

However, he soon discovered something advantageous. Abraham Moonlight Silver, with his Dragon Lance in hand, did not fight smoothly. The five-meter long Dragon Lance was cumbersome to turn and swing, let alone perform intricate Dou Qi moves. It was mostly relying on the fact that Liszt was somewhat unaccustomed to this environment to forcefully dominate.

“He is the Mind Branding of a Dragon Knight, wielding a Dragon Lance instead of a great sword. Perhaps… he should be riding the Light Green Gemstone Dragon?”

The First Dragon Knight could ride dragons. Heirs to the Dragon Knight needed to confront the Dragon Riding Mind Branding of a Dragon Knight, and naturally, they couldn’t erase the Mind Branding.

But now, the Dragon Knight’s Mind Branding had no dragon!

With a grin, Liszt had already discovered the secret of the Dragon Knight’s Mind Branding, and it was time to kill Abraham Moonlight Silver!
