"Imitation Magic: Earth Magic: Stone Spear!"
Rhya had obscured Drake’s vision to use this spell. Ultime-Volcano Mountain Trail was rich in fire mana; water mana, which counters fire, was scarce. But other types of mana existed, such as earth mana, which wasn’t as suppressed. Unable to use fire magic, Rhya chose earth magic.
Drake dodged the rapidly emerging stone spears. The speed was astonishing; they formed a cage, trapping Drake.
Drake moved, but the spears remained unmoved; they felt like steel, not rock.
Rhya stood, wiping nonexistent sweat. "Hand over the magic stone and tell me everything!"
Drake, unfazed, laughed. "Your anger’s subsided; you’ve calmed down. But we’re not equals; let’s continue."
Rhya was wary; he knew about Drake’s Dragon Blood Mode, which boosted his combat power to the level of a Magic Knight Captain. He prepared for Drake to activate it.
But Drake’s magic power was calm, not frenzied. Rhya didn’t believe Drake had given up; there was something he didn’t know.
"If you’d arrived a day earlier, you wouldn’t have seen this. Judge my new ability!"
Drake’s grimoire glowed, turning to a new page. A roar echoed; Rhya felt something pass through him. He couldn’t identify the spell.
"Magic Territory: Dragon’s Nest!"
Drake looked up; Rhya instinctively retreated. He confirmed the majestic creature was an illusion.
Rhya asked, suspiciously, "What did you do?"
Drake said casually, "This is my Magic Territory. I’ve integrated too much; it’s a new spell. You felt its secondary ability, Dragon’s Intimidation! Within my Magic Territory, those who fight me must face the terror of a dragon."
Drake didn’t know why his Magic Territory had become this way, but it was beneficial. Dragon’s Intimidation was a mental attack; not everyone could overcome fear.
This was why he explained it. Even knowing a beast eats people doesn’t eliminate fear; it intensifies it. Most enemies would be suppressed from the start. This Magic Territory’s power didn’t end there.
The stone spears trapping Drake cracked and shattered as Drake moved his arm. Their hardness was due to Rhya’s earth mana. Without it, they couldn’t restrain Drake.
Drake said, "Don’t understand? This space is a dragon’s nest; all mana is the dragon’s treasure. Would anyone take a dragon’s treasure? This is the dragon’s greed—absolute control over mana within this territory."
"An incredibly terrifying spell!" Rhya exclaimed genuinely; he was shocked. A human possessing such magic was unimaginable. If elves were favored by magic, Drake was its king in this territory.
Drake continued, "It’s hard to believe without experiencing it. Let’s proceed." Follow current novᴇls on novel·fiɾe·net
Drake’s speed, even without Dragon Blood Mode, surpassed Rhya’s reaction speed. Rhya realized the mana was propelling Drake. Drake’s control wasn’t a bluff.
Rhya transformed into light to escape. Drake, whose speed was comparable to light, caught him.
"Fire Dragon’s Iron Fist!"
The Magic Territory enhanced the punch, drawing upon surrounding mana, exceeding Drake’s maximum magic power.
Rhya, unable to defend, took the full impact. He flew into a rock wall, spitting blood; he used healing magic.
The healing was slow. Fortunately, Drake didn’t pursue, allowing Rhya to recover.
"Incredible power!" Rhya said calmly. "I surrender! Let’s talk!"
The oppressive aura vanished; Drake had ended the spell.
Drake was relieved; it wasn’t easy. If Rhya had persisted, it’s unclear who would have lost. Drake had only mastered this spell for a day. The spell was taxing; enhanced Magic Territory had side effects.
If Dragon Blood Mode required physical strength and Dragon Force, Dragon’s Nest’s burden was mental; it was brain-burning. Controlling mana and intimidating enemies required immense willpower.
Drake felt his brain boiling after using it briefly.
He sighed; Magic Territory allowed mages to replenish mana using natural mana, increasing stamina. Drake had trained for longer battles but had created another time-limited burst skill.
