Chapter 5 The Origin of Magic If it were the late stage now, Cassius would choose the mage without hesitation. After all, being a mage is not something that can be said for mage who is fully prepared and wealthy is confident of defeating any enemy of the same level. In the later stages, there are powerful branch professions such as the time mage that control the power of time and space. But the mage has a fatal flaw in the early stages - the need to read the meter. Yes, magic is a science that needs to be learned in the eyes of mages. Only by understanding in detail how to construct the spell model, mastering the various magic network parameters of the spell through the spell scroll, and after a long period of study, can one successfully obtain a spell. But now Cassius is penniless and has only some magic equipment. You can't go to a human town to learn magic in the body of a dragon, right? Do I still need to go to magic academy? But it is different for warlocks, their spells are all "dropped from the sky". Of course, there is a word that can better describe it - giftedness. After thinking for a moment, Cassius made his own choice. [Choose to upgrade your profession as a warlock] [Detected that you have dragon blood] [Automatically selected as Dragon Vein Warlock - Red Dragon Bloodline] Dragons are powerful magical creatures that are naturally proficient in many aspects of the supernatural. A dragon of any age, even a wyrmling, can take levels in the sorcerer class.
Some ancient scholars believed that sorcerers' abilities were inherited from dragons, perhaps from a marriage many generations ago. More importantly, the warlock's spellcasting level can be superimposed with the dragon's natural spellcasting level, allowing the dragon to make full use of its own bloodline and make the power in its body exert a more powerful effect. For example, the famous ancient red dragon Imvarnau is devoted to mastering the power of fire magic and has a casting level of up to 40. [Your Warlock level is increased to Level 1] [【Origin of Magic】: Magic itself is an integral part of the sorcerer. This potential power permeates the sorcerer's body, mind, and soul, waiting to be released.] [No one can choose magic, it is the magic that chooses you.] [You gain 4 cantrips and 2 1st level spells] A rich variety of Dharma tables appeared on the light screen. [Obtain the tricks [Hand of the Mage], [Preemptive Strike], [Magic Trick], [Secondary Illusion]] [Obtain 1st level spells [Mist Cloud], [Magic Missile]] It is still the standard early stage combination. But when he upgraded his career in his previous life, Cassius only got cold display data and didn't notice any difference. And only now did he realize the incredible power. "This feeling." Spells appeared in his mind out of nowhere. No, this is not out of thin air. It's more like something that is innate and gifted. This valuable knowledge penetrates deeply into the body, memory, and even attaches to the will. [Hand of the Mage] As soon as Cassius thought about it, an invisible hand appeared out of thin air, picked up a stone on the ground and threw it out. Even the lowest level spells and simplest actions left the red dragon feeling somewhat surprised. Because this power does not come from some magical item or process, but from himself. Compared to the scientific rigor of a mage's spellcasting, a warlock's spellcasting is more like an art. There is no need to carefully construct a spell model, nor is there any need to calculate the various parameters of the magic network. You only need to use your own consciousness to feel the magic network, and then project your will into reality to make it come true. Therefore, gifted warlocks, who can easily cast powerful spells, are often envied and despised by mages, who jokingly call them "barbarians among spellcasters" and "orcs with staffs."
"It's amazing." The red dragon stepped over the half-eaten remains of the owlbear and walked out of the cave with brisk steps. He understood why the spellcaster of Erezegei was so arrogant. This feeling of controlling the real world would give people an illusion, making them feel like gods in front of ordinary people. However, the prompt text on the panel has not yet ended. [【Bloodline Origin】The bloodline from the ancient red dragon fills your body with the power of blazing fire.] [You gain affinity with fire element magic, and fire damage will be increased] [[Breath Weapon (Fire)] is enhanced] [Get additional trick [Flame Arrow]] There was a blazing flame in Cassius's golden vertical pupils, and his body was like an erupting volcano. His heart beat strongly, pumping this fire elemental energy throughout his body, and his blood surged and heated like pulsating magma. [Tracing your bloodline inheritance...] The Red Dragon closed his eyes and a vision appeared in his mind. It seemed to be an unknown ancient battlefield in the outer plane, with magnificent metal walls hundreds of meters high in the distance. An ancient red dragon flapped its huge wings, stirring up a gust of wind, and the heavenly army with wings on its back were blown to the ground. He opened his huge mouth and spewed out a terrifying flame that was unimaginable to mortals. The air was burned and twisted. The solid city wall melted in an instant, a huge gap appeared, and the metal turned into boiling liquid and slowly flowed down. The Asen angel with a dragon head and a human body waved his staff and cast a magic spell. Several celestial statues tens of meters tall leaped high into the air and pounced on the ancient red dragon in the sky. The silver-haired Barani angels also drew their bows and arrows and shot them into the sky. However, compared to the entire grand battlefield, even this ancient red dragon seems insignificant. "Roar--" Further away in the field of vision, a terrifying monster with five ferocious dragon heads roared towards the sky, spread its wings that covered the sky, and slowly rose into the sky. Suddenly a hurricane surged and dust flew. A dark shadow covered the earth, as if the end of the world had come. In the illusion, Cassius couldn't help but look up at the sky. However, he clearly saw that among the heads that looked down upon all living beings, there was a red dragon head that was very similar to his own, staring down at him condescendingly, and there seemed to be a slight curve at the corners of its ferocious mouth. The head slowly spoke: "My child." The voice seemed to come from the depths of the soul, and the red dragon suddenly felt a strong pressure from his blood. This terrifying power made him involuntarily want to bow his head, kneel down, and submit to the power of this god. “He sees me!” Red Dragon's heart was filled with alarm. The next moment, the sky of the illusion began to crack like broken glass. Whether it was the ancient red dragon, the colossus in heaven, or the terrifying five-headed figures in the sky, everything in the illusion was shattered. "Huh, huh." "call" Cassius barely escaped from the suffocating pressure, gasping for breath, his whole body stiff and trembling.
Red Dragon looked at the game panel in front of him with a look of great surprise. He suddenly found that the panel was like a virus and began to refresh the information frantically. [warn!] [warn!] [warn!] [You are being watched by the deity [Tiamat, Mother of Dragons]] [Thought shielding system activated] [You have faced the deity [Tiamat, the Mother of Dragons], and you may experience unexpected changes.] Cassius stared at the data displayed on the panel, feeling a lingering fear, but helpless. "Is this the power of gods? It's so terrifying." "Ancient Dimension Battlefield." "Did I see Tiamat's true form?" In the previous life of Erezega, even if the player's power cap has reached the legendary level (that is, level 21), the power of the gods is still a mystery. Almost no one has ever witnessed the true form of any god, even a weak one. As for the so-called "God-killing", it is pure fantasy. A big player once said, "As long as you show your blood bar, even God will kill you." But in fact, the power level of gods is completely unimaginable for mortals, and they are set to exist without a health bar. This is the power of the gods. Simply gazing at their true form in an illusion can lead to dire consequences. But for him, a fledgling young dragon, the ancient red dragon, the inter-dimensional war and even Tiamat, everything seemed too far away and too grand. If the powerful being really had any ideas about him, he would be powerless to resist now. Therefore, instead of worrying about the gods in the outer planes, it is better to steadily improve your strength and make plans for the future. "But now that I have been noticed, as a red dragon, I will still burn incense to old Tiamat in the future." "Don't let yourself be hated." Cassius leaped lightly, flapped his strong wings, and gradually circled into the air. "Next, I need to gain some experience." The red dragon gazed at the endless woods and the mountains in the distance and couldn't help but let out a long roar. The slightly immature voice already had some of the majesty of a giant dragon.
