The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 817 - 0814: New Labyrinth (First Update)

Chapter 817: Chapter 0814: New Labyrinth (First Update)

“What’s going on?”

Looking at the Formless Dragon soaring into the sky, Li Si Te was extremely upset.

He had prepared for a long time to ride the Formless Dragon, offering it a carefully made Smoked Grass feast and the heart embroiled with Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit, thinking this was an infallible tactic.

Yet, the Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit was spat out by the Formless Dragon.

He had thought the plan failed, but then, unexpectedly, the Formless Dragon sought to be ridden voluntarily. However, the battlefield for the Mind Battle was a maze more complex than the “Extra-Dimensional Killing Array,” impenetrable and unnavigable — the Formless Dragon was just dawdling in the maze.

Riding the dragon became a drastically worsened experience, feeling like the Formless Dragon was deliberately making him give up in this manner!

...

Stop eyeing it.

The dense crystallic structure and the endlessly seeming shifting intersections were not for human breakthrough. Perhaps, the maze was never meant to be navigated by usual means, but traveling through space was not within Li Si Te’s abilities.

He had no other options but to accept defeat.

Riding the dragon failed, and he acknowledged it! Maybe the force of fate could only guide and not control the Formless Dragon, considered a Sacred Dragon — perhaps the Formless Dragon had transcended anew, in control of its own destiny, whereas previously whether it was the Fire Dragon or the Jade Dragon, they had perished early.

Letting the force of fate exploit the vulnerability.

The Light Green Gemstone Dragon also was ravaged by fate’s force after being critically injured.

That said, after the failed dragon riding, the Formless Dragon turning hostile and not leaving behind even a few Space Gems was a bit too much. Just as Li Si Te thought it was about to fly away, it suddenly flew up to the summit of Whirlpool Mountain, charging towards the Sea Sprite Ake watching the dragon riding event. Li Si Te tensed up, just about to warn Ake to “be careful,” yet felt that the Formless Dragon seemed to have no malicious intent.

“Could it really be that it got too excited from eating, became dizzy and, seeing my failed dragon riding, went to find Ake to try letting him ride?”

This thought just briefly whirled around, and Li Si Te immediately dismissed it.

A magician cannot succeed in dragon riding.

Whether records from the era of the Moon Empire or modern records, only knights could ride dragons because Advanced Dou Qi and Dragon Magic Power are highly compatible.

Even the knights’ cultivation system, if traced to its origins, was likely established mirroring the operation of dragon magic power. Thus, when Advanced Dou Qi combines with a dragon, it can quickly transform into Dragon Dou Qi. This advantage is absent in other cultivation systems and is a decisive factor in knights ruling the world.

It’s unlikely that this principle would be broken just because of Ake.

So, the Formless Dragon probably did not intend for Ake to ride it; it was more likely looking to harm him.

Just as he was preparing to call forth Little Fire Dragon Leo and, together with Ake, suppress the Formless Dragon — since it intended to harm Ake, it was no friend of Li Si Te, and it might as well be killed off letting the Formless Dragon’s corpse fall on Whirlpool Mountain and directly nurturing a Space Gem mine right here.

However, the Formless Dragon had already hovered mid-air above the summit, facing the Sea Sprite Ake who stood shielding himself with a Water Wave Shield.

The Formless Dragon didn’t launch an attack, and Ake didn’t retreat.

Li Si Te’s idea to call Leo rapidly extinguished, picking up his previous thought, “Could the Formless Dragon truly want Ake to ride it?”

Such a thought irresistibly arose.

Accompanied by a slight sourness — not reluctance, just a bit of emotional imbalance.

Whether he himself rode it or Ake did, either way, resources stayed within his circle, but the sensory experiences were starkly different. He had long prepared to ride the Formless Dragon, feeding it three Smoked Grass feasts, truly painstaking effort.

Although the meat was enhanced with Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit, that was just an episode.

Now, the Formless Dragon bowed its head to a Sea Sprite whom it had never met before, provoking in him a fleeting feeling of “the down-to-earth guy puts in all the effort but the girl goes off with a wealthy, handsome man she just met;” such distinct treatment, how to build a harmonious society… His internal drama was perhaps overly rich, probably spurred by the failure in dragon riding.

Always priding himself as superior and in control of everything, Li Si Te ultimately realized his own ordinary nature during the Mind Battle.

Falling from the clouds to the dirt was uncomfortable.

But he successfully suppressed his increasingly inflated ego, taking a deep breath… and immediately tears streamed down his face — the remaining scent of Smoked Grass really stung his eyes.

“Ahem…”

After coughing a few times and looking up at the summit again, he saw Ake had already dispersed the Water Wave Shield.

The Formless Dragon hovering overhead called out to Ake, “Wu yi ya!”

Ake shook his head.

The Formless Dragon called out again, “Wu yi ya!”

Ake shook his head once more.

Then, in a rage, the Formless Dragon blew steam from its nostrils and swiftly turned around to dive down the mountain, heading straight toward Liszt. Its speed was so fast that it almost seemed to teleport, and in the blink of an eye, it had landed in front of Liszt, gazing deeply into his eyes.

“Hmm?” Liszt, who had stopped crying, looked at the beautiful, crystalline Formless Dragon, puzzled once again and unable to understand what the dragon was doing.

“Wu yi ya!”

The Formless Dragon exclaimed, its meaning unclear.

However, the next moment, Liszt had already leaped up and jumped onto the Dragon Tooth Platform of the Formless Dragon—regardless of its many poses, he thought it best to ride it first!

Coming and going, being coy, it surely wanted him to ride it!

As if to confirm Liszt’s thoughts, the Formless Dragon seemed to want to twist its body to resist being ridden for the second time by Liszt, whose earlier attempts it had rejected. However, for some reason, it abruptly gave up the struggle, and its narrow dragon face showed a human-like expression of disdain and helplessness.

In the end, it didn’t dodge.

It allowed its rear end to land on the Dragon Tooth Platform.

With a thunderous sound, Liszt rode the Formless Dragon’s Dragon Tooth Platform for the second time, his spirit instantly connecting with the Formless Dragon, guiding it to flap its wings and fly into the sky.

The world transformed into a crystalline structure.

Soon the high mountain began to sink and the earth began to rise, as a new maze was about to emerge.

Liszt drew his Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword quickly, shouting to the Formless Dragon below him, “My old friend, the maze means nothing to me. Let’s have a battle of the minds in another way!”

“Wu yi ya!”

The Formless Dragon flapped its wings, and the maze continued to rise slowly.

“If you insist on creating a maze, then the sword in my hand will only be able to cut off your head, forcing you to reconsider your approach.” There was no way he was going to navigate a maze, not in this lifetime—Liszt was resolute, determined not to engage in any more maze walking.

“Wu yi ya!” the Formless Dragon cried out in anger.

But Liszt had already aimed at its neck, lifting the smoke-enshrouded and swiftly transforming red, Fire Attribute Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword—rather than fail through a maze, better to destroy the Formless Dragon’s mind and let it gain new life, to see if this forceful method could bring victory in a battle of the minds.

The rising of the maze stopped.

The situation started to stalemated.

Moments later, the Formless Dragon let out a reluctant cry, “Wu yi ya!”

At the same time, Liszt also received the Formless Dragon’s intention from its mind—mazes were a must, but the complexity could be reduced.

The maze that had risen did not extend into more complexity, but formed into the simplest planar maze, made up of numerous parallel walls, unlike the “Extra-Dimensional Killing Array” type of dizzying, position-shifting cubic maze.

“Huh…”

Liszt sheathed his mighty sword, and cracked a slight smile, “If it’s a traditional maze, I’ll reluctantly accept it.” Traditional mazes were easy to solve; one simply needed to choose one wall and keep touching it to find the exit.

“Let’s go, Formless Dragon!”

“You and I are destined today!”
