The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 177's

Almost all magi knew how to set up a magic array that bound the soul. But in terms of actually setting it up, there are certain requirements. In general, only after reaching the seventh rank as magus did one possess enough spiritual power to regulate it.

A nearly translucent pentagram was floating in the air.

And then, the pentagram magic formation flew towards the head of Blackcloud Panther, who did not resist at all, allowing the magic formation to enter his mind. Suddenly, both Linley and Blackcloud Panther could sense that their spirits were now interconnected.

This was not the same as the 'equivalent bond' that Linley and Bebe shared.

In the 'equal bond' between Linley and Bebe, both of their souls had become mingled. With this soul binding magic array, however, it was formed solely from Linley's spiritual energy. When Blackcloud Panther received the soul-binding compact, Linley was naturally his master.

"Master. "The Blackcloud Panther is very respectful.

Linley looked at Blackcloud Panther. "What's your name?" Linley knew that some high-class magical beasts had their own names. For example, that Razorback Armored Wyrm that Linley had encountered in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts' Doggy Valley was named Sartius.

The Blackcloud Panther's voice sounded in Linley's mind. “Master, my name is Haeru [Hei'lu]. ”

"Haeru?" Linley memorized the name.

“Haeru, tell me about your transformation capabilities. "Towards this topic, Linley felt a little interested.

Blackcloud Panther nodded. "Master, it's because I'm a magical beast two elements of the elements of darkness and wind. In my brain, I have two magicite cores; one is the element of darkness, the other is the element of wind. Usually, I am in my first form, where my defense, attack and speed are all the same. ”

“When I rely on the energy from the darkite magicite core, my body will grow larger and my attack power will rise, at the expense of speed. When I mainly rely on the energy from my wind magicite core, I will be in this form, a form of wind force, with high speed but weaker defense. ”

Blackcloud Panther, Haeru, said honestly.

Linley now understood.

So the Blackcloud Panthers were magical beasts of the dual elements of wind and darkness, and the current form was a form of wind force. The giant shape is a form of dark force, and only the original form is a 'normal' form'.

“I originally thought that Haeru's current form was his normal form. "Linley chuckled to herself.

Linley suspected that the person who had written the note Linley had read about the Blackcloud Panthers only saw this form of wind force, and thus mistook this as the only form of Blackcloud Panthers.

"Grow!" Bebe dashed over, growling in a low voice towards Blackcloud Panther.

Blackcloud Panther also started chatting with him.

“It looks like our trip will be more interesting in the future. "A little smile was on Linley's face.

… .

Together with his two magical beast friends, Bebe and Haeru, Linley continued his daily training regime. Linley immersed himself in the world of sword training. Many times, Linley would have some new insights on how to use a heavy sword.

Spring is passing, autumn is coming.

In the blink of an eye, another year had passed.

In the autumn of the second year, the temperature dropped to very low. Linley sat cross-legged under an ancient oak tree, training. The battle of Dragonblood-qi suddenly began to boil, causing his veins and heart to once again begin to change and change.

Moreover, within Linley's dantian, the Dragonblood-qi battle had finally begun to change as well. Excited, Linley laughed. He had finally broken through to the final stage of the seventh rank and reached the eighth rank. He had become a warrior of the eighth rank!

As a warrior of the eighth rank, after being completely Dragonforming, Linley's strength was now at the peak stage of the ninth rank.

There was a significant difference between a peak stage ninth rank warrior and an early stage ninth rank warrior.

“When I was in Hess City, it was difficult for me to break through the armor of an ordinary ferocious beast of the ninth rank. But now, even without using the adamantine heavy sword, I can kill most magical beasts of the ninth rank. "Linley was very confident.

A peak-level Dragonblood Warrior of the ninth rank could definitely defeat a peak-level magical beast of the ninth rank.

Aside from Saint-levels, there might not be anyone in this world who could threaten him anymore.

"Only, a higher level of using this adamantine heavy sword, called this 'force' level ... what is it?" Linley started to frown. Right now, Linley had fully mastered the technique of 'holding something heavy as if it were light'.

He walked barefoot on the ground.

Linley continued on his training path, constantly aligning himself with the pulsing vibrations of the earth and the unclear tides and wind flow. In turn, Linley's spirit became naturally purified, becoming more nimble and graceful.

…

Winter has arrived.

In the morning, a huge blizzard descended, covering the entire world with a blanket of falling snow. Standing in the middle of the blizzard, Linley stared at the snowflakes falling from the sky. His heart is very peaceful.

Suddenly, Linley sat cross-legged, placing the adamantine heavy sword on his lap. Her upper body was still naked, and she was still wearing those tattered flax pants.

Snow settled over Linley's body, but Linley was not aware of it at all.

Time pass. Snow continued to fall from morning until night, covering the entire area with a layer of snow as thick as one's feet.

Bebe and Haeru had hidden themselves under a large pine tree, where they watched Linley.

“Forced. ”

Linley's eyes opened. Inside them, there was a slight smile. Raising his head to stare in front of him, he saw that the snow had stopped falling. Although it was almost dark, the entire world had been painted a light white color by the snow.

"Groooooowls!" From afar, the roar of magical beasts could be heard.

A Glacier Snow Lion walking on the snow. Apparently after finding Linley, it began to draw closer to Linley, step by step. Watching the Snow Glacier Lion approach, Linley did not seem to react at all.

"Swoos!" With a huge leap, the Lion Snow Glacier pounced towards Linley.

Linley watched as the Snow Lion Glacier pounced towards him. Very casually, he grabbed the adamantine heavy sword that had been lying on his lap and cut straight towards the Glacial Snow Lion.

"Rubby!" The moment Linley swung the adamantine heavy sword, space itself seemed to suddenly be compressed in the area around the sword, towards the Glacial Snow Lion.

Frightened, the Snow Lion Glacier wanted to escape, but the entire area around it was compressed by that suppressing force. There's nowhere to run.

"Bombs!"

The heavy sword struck the body of the Glacial Snow Lion. The entire body of the Glacial Snow Lion trembled for a moment, then it suddenly shattered into piles of flesh and blood.

“So 'imposing' refers to 'imposing' one's will on heaven and earth, to the point where even space itself can be used to constrict a person. Haha .. "Linley laughed.

After experiencing a great blizzard, Linley finally entered the third level holding a heavy weapon; the 'force' level'. Merely, Linley understood that he had just begun to understand this level.

“To be able to so quickly grasp the 'force' level, I really have to thank my training as a stone guard and also my insight as a magus. "Linley was very happy.

Since he was a magus, Linley's soul could more clearly feel the pulse of the earth as well as the flow of wind. His soul is now able to become one with nature. Moreover, this entire time, Linley had been very focused on his training and had accumulated a lot of experience. This allowed Linley to finally surpass the initial barrier and enter the 'force' level of wielding a heavy sword.

In terms of strength, the 'force' level is much more frightening than the 'holding something heavy as if it were light' level'. It was also much more profound and mysterious.

…

Spring Year 10003 of the Yulan calendar. The northernmost edge of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts was only a few kilometers away from the North Sea. In fact, from the northernmost point in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, one could see the vast and endless expanse of water known as the North Sea.

Between the Magical Beast Mountain Range Mountain Range and the North Sea, there was a corridor connecting the Sacred Union and the O'Brien Empire together. Almost every day, a large number of people passed through this wide road.

Almost everyone, be it the merchants of the O'Brien Empire, the merchants of the Holy Union, or others, passed through this corridor.

However, the citizens of the O'Brien Empire, when facing the citizens of the Holy Union, felt a natural superiority. This was because the O'Brien Empire was the most powerful Empire in the entire Yulan continent. Moreover, he had the 'God of War'. In the war-loving O'Brien Empire, almost every citizen was proud to be part of the O'Brien Empire.

Currently, in the wide corridor, there was a merchant caravan with hundreds of people who were camping and resting. A lot of people are eating.

“Old Hett [Hei'te]. ”

A young man riding in the carriage laughed at a fat man next to him. “You have made a lot of money on this latest deal. ”

"Ha ha . "The middle-aged fat laughed with satisfaction. “Petrie [Pi'te'li], you are a smart young boy. If you continue to work for me, within three years, you will be able to buy a noble house in your city, then buy some beautiful maids and hire some maidservants. You will be able to live a happy life as a landowner. ”

"Three years? Shit, in three more years I might lose my life. "The young man swore. “New people like me are always given the most dangerous tasks. Shit ... In one year, I'll go home, buy a pretty girl, and enjoy life. Plantation owner? It will depend on whether I have good luck or not. ”

The middle-aged fatty started laughing. “You are a newcomer. Of course it is your responsibility to take on the most dangerous tasks. However, that means you get a big share as well. Oh right Petrie, this time in our caravan, there was a very beautiful girl. As we headed in the same way, we escorted him. ”

"Are you talking about Miss Jenne [Zhan'en]?" The young man's eyes immediately lit up. “If I had a woman like that, I would be willing to work for another ten years. That number. That aura. Oh man…"

“But he was obviously a noble, and the old servant was not weak either. '' The middle-aged fatty chuckled.

"At least I can't fantasize?" The young man said sadly.

The middle-aged fatty started laughing, but then he suddenly looked towards the south. "Hrm? Petrie, look. Someone came out from within the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. "Petrie immediately looked south towards the Beast Barren Mountain Range.

Dressed in his usual blue warrior uniform, a man carrying a heavy sword on his back walked out from within the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. Her long, brown hair barely reached her shoulders. From the looks of it, it was almost two meters tall.

By his side was a black beetle that was almost as tall as him, and behind the black beetle was a black Shadowmouse.

"What is a black panther?" Petrie said in surprise.

Gazing with wide eyes, the middle-aged man said, “Don't make a fuss! I've heard that all panther-type and lion-type magical beasts are extremely powerful. In general, they were at least magical beasts of the sixth rank, or even higher. ”

Soon, Petrie no longer dared to make a sound.

Right at this moment, the brown-haired man started running towards their caravan with long strides. The caravan guards immediately became vigilant. The one who came towards them was clearly a strong warrior.

……

Right now, Linley was in a very good mood. After three full years of hard training, he finally left the Magical Beast Range Mountain Range.

“North Sea is indeed wide. "This was the first time Linley had seen the North Sea, and the great, sky-boundless blue sea shocked Linley, filling him in awe.

Looking at the caravan resting in front of him, Linley dashed towards it.

"Hey, man, what do you want?" A heavy bearded guard shouted loudly. Smiling, Linley replied, "I'm heading towards the O'Brien Empire. I Hope You can take me with You. ”

The heavy-bearded guard looked at Linley, then turned towards a middle-aged, golden-haired man next to him. After exchanging a few words, he said to Linley in a loud voice, "That's easy. Twenty gold coins, and we'll take you. ”

"Good . "Linley agreed very easily. He immediately took out a small sack of gold, counted twenty gold coins, and handed them over.

This outfit Linley was currently wearing had been kept in the interspatial ring, ready just for an event like this. In the interspatial ring, Linley had naturally prepared a few things.

"Hey, friend, since you already have a mount, are you planning to take the train, or use this panther?" The thick-bearded man asked warmly.

"On the train, I guess. "Say Linley.

"Good . You can get inside that wagon in the back. That one over there, a flat wagon with two people in it. “The thick-bearded man pointed as he spoke. The actual covered carriage was rather expensive, and in this caravan, most of the soldiers were all riding flat wagons.

"Yelvin . "Linley agreed quite casually.

As he walked to and reached the flat carriage, the two men who were already in the carriage, who had previously engaged in conversation, were instantly frightened by Haeru, who was walking beside Linley. After all, Panther-type magical beasts were generally high-class magical beasts.

“Ah, friend, please, sit. "The two men were very friendly.

Linley entered the wagon. The cart had a mattress made of straw inside, which was covered by a thick cotton cloth. As Linley sat on the straw mattress, Bebe jumped right onto Linley's shoulder as well.

"Come, buddy, have some wine. "The one slightly older than the two men offered warmly.

"thank you. "Linley received the leather pouch and took a big gulp.

“Hey, everyone, get ready. We'll start moving again! ”Loud sounds rang out, and everyone who got off their carriage to rest immediately returned to their carriage.

The caravan began to move forward again, beginning once again its journey towards the O'Brien Empire …
