645: Chapter 645 Golden Dragon Summoning Magic 645: Chapter 645 Golden Dragon Summoning Magic Subsequently, Zhao Guang spent two more days to finally clarify and improve the new spell.
In the meantime, he heard that those divine officers from the Temple were running around everywhere, spreading their doctrines, and it seemed to be going smoothly.
After all, before those people arrived here, there were already quite a few believers; now they were just reorganizing.
However, finding a location for their church was not so easy.
They wanted the best locations, but the value of these spots was just too high.
Even if there were believers willing to money, they had only just arrived here, so how much could they have?
As people from the Temple, they had to purchase the place if they wanted to build a church.
Although they could only buy the building and not the land itself, they were still unwilling to rent.
They didn’t want to settle for an average location either, so they reached a stalemate.
Because of this, people tried to contact him every day, asking him to give them the land for free.
Zhao Guang simply ignored these fellows who thought only of reaping without sowing, which greatly annoyed the divine officers.
Of course, due to a series of measures taken by Zhao Guang, his reputation had thoroughly soured within the Temple.
Many divine officers, while spreading their beliefs, would slander Zhao Guang from time to time.
Unfortunately, this had the opposite effect.
One must know that a significant portion of Zhao Guang’s territory consisted of those transformed from slaves.
They felt only gratitude towards their Lord, and wouldn’t listen to the Temple’s nonsensical talk.
After all, when they were trapped in desperate straits, it was their Lord who bought and rescued them, not anyone from the Temple.
Especially since some of them had firm beliefs before, yet in the end, no one came to save them.
Seeing Zhao Guang not worshiping any divinity, their mentality had long changed.
As a result, the Temple’s people had clashed with many ordinary folks during this period.
If it weren’t for their inability to strike ordinary people, there would likely have been many bloody incidents.
“Daring to slander me, eh?
You asked for this.” Zhao Guang sneered.
He looked at Xi Fei at his side, “Go, find someone to tell those people that the place with the greatest influence is the Capital of Art over there.
Lead them to go and preach there.” Zhao Guang revealed a mischievous smile.
Once the belief combined with those new art forms, heaven knows what kind of changes would occur.
In a world with real divinities, who knows whether those divine entities would be dumbfounded.
“I understand,” Xi Fei seemed to catch on to something and left with a mischievous smile.
Since the Temple’s people were not fond of her, Xi Fei similarly had no affection for them.
Aside from this matter, there was nothing else that needed his attention.
Zhao Guang, holding the newly improved magic array, began constructing a new spell.
A vast magic array took shape, gradually forming by his spiritual power.
This time he used a special material, the Golden Dragon Soul, leaving no remnants of the materials left behind by the golden dragon, as he used them all up.
He wondered how much Silver Tower had used; they probably had none left either.
One had to admit, every part of the giant dragon was indeed a treasure.
As the Dragon Soul gradually merged into the array, it let out a reluctant roar, but was easily suppressed by Zhao Guang.
Then the magic array slowly compressed, turning into a special rune.
The new magic took shape, and Zhao Guang instantly teleported to an open space outside.
“This is the place, it’s just a pity I don’t have a target to experiment on,” Zhao Guang thought to himself as he released his spell, which instantly transformed the surroundings to resemble a giant arena.
This wasn’t a real arena, it was actually a special Illusion Technique.
Indeed, Zhao Guang hadn’t constructed his spell following the Ancient Times’ Summoning Magic to the letter, but rather crafted an illusion.
On one side of the arena, a giant dragon appeared, its eyes looking dully around.
Zhao Guang waved his hand, and only then did the dragon spring to life.
After various attacks, Zhao Guang confirmed that even in this place, the strength of this Golden Dragon could still reach the level of a super Magic Beast.
Its power might not match his own, but it probably wasn’t far behind.
The most crucial point was that this was a unique form of Spiritual Magic.
To onlookers, it didn’t look any different from the norm.
This spell would drag the enemy’s spiritual power into the arena to fight the dragon.
If the dragon were to die, it wouldn’t matter much to Zhao Guang, who could simply wait a day before using it again.
However, if the opponent died, their soul would truly be shattered beyond possibility of survival.
The essence of this spell lay in killing the enemy at the level of the soul.
To warriors, whose spiritual power was not particularly strong to begin with, this magic was simply terrifying.
But for Mages, although this spell was also strong, it wasn’t as exaggerated.
The only advantage was that the arena wasn’t large and could limit the range of movement.
Bearing in mind, even soul damage was definitely no trivial matter.
This spell had two uses, one was to pull the opponent’s soul into it for a bout of spiritual combat.
The other was to, like what he was doing now, manifest the Soul Arena outright, forcing the opponent to fight the giant dragon within the arena until one side completely fell.
The advantage of the former was that the soul might not be able to exert all of its power.
The advantage of the latter was that it allowed a large number of people to be pulled in at once, since the former was limited to one-on-one.
After confirming that this illusion of the Golden Dragon could exhibit all the capabilities of a giant dragon, Zhao Guang nodded in satisfaction.
In the future, he might be able to upgrade it, adding more and stronger souls into it.
However, that would have to wait until later; the only powerful soul he had at his disposal was this one.
Having completed this spell, he didn’t have any particularly powerful research projects in hand for the moment.
He would just have to proceed step by step in enhancing himself, as the Legendary rank still seemed an impossibly distant dream.
Zhao Guang decided to focus his next efforts on the research of the new profession, the Elemental Archer.
However, what Zhao Guang didn’t expect was that a problem had arisen in the North at this time.
This wasn’t news delivered by his own subordinates, but from the Beastmen.
It had to be said that to become a powerful Empire, even the Beastmen couldn’t be as simple as they appeared on the surface.
“Trouble in the North?
What exactly is happening?” He had always been wary of the North.
“Do you know the unrest in the North is due to two Legendary Mages clashing?”
Of course, he was aware, otherwise why would he be so anxious?
Even if a group of Great Mages came, couldn’t he at least put up a fight?
