Tale of the Red Dragon Without Dragon’s Might
Chapter 266 - 263: Minor Victory

Chapter 266: Chapter 263: Minor Victory

The undead army awakened by Su Ausis, all belong to undead creatures or constructs, are completely unafraid, and at the same time lack intellect, so they don’t go mad under the influence of the Soul Summoning Mantra.

Otherwise Leon believes that a fierce god matched with the Soul Summoning Mantra could solve most enemies, leaving only a little bit of enemies to deal with easily.

With the fierce god and Soul Summoning Mantra being ineffective, Leon had no choice but to initiate the Three Heads and Six Arms Dharma Body to slaughter, dealing with those undead troops was like cutting through grass, but Su Ausis was really somewhat troublesome.

Leon felt that apart from transformation school spells, Su Ausis had used spells from all kinds of schools, even Priest spells like the Spiritual Body Weapon.

This is what a top-tier spellcaster is, Leon really felt like his horizons had been broadened. Envis, the ruler of Moon Bay, looked like a rookie in his presence, aside from Time Stop, he didn’t have any impressive spells.

Fortunately, Su Ausis couldn’t use Time Stop, his high-level spells were focused on the school of enchantment, and he had a bunch of Samadhi True Fire burning on his chest which could incinerate magical effects invading his body, making spells like Monster Domination and Command Shock ineffective against him, as well as Fear Gaze and blasphemous words, otherwise, it would have been challenging.

In any case, Three Heads and Six Arms is very powerful, but consuming mana was definitely inevitable, leaving Leon with not much mana remaining, unsure if he could defeat Su Ausis before his mana ran out.

"Brother."

"Master."

"My dear."

"We’re here to help you."

Tassera, Cecilia, and Salovis returned, giving Leon quite a bit of confidence.

On one side, the battle spirit was soaring, and on the other, Su Ausis was hovering in the air, looking down at the four dragons, yet suddenly the thought of retreat arose.

That Red Dragon’s strength is truly exaggerated, not even an ancient Red Dragon might be able to defeat his awakened undead army so quickly, especially that invincible body which is troublesome.

Indeed, the Blue Dragon is far inferior to the Red Dragon, but it’s also not simple, carrying the scent of a spellcaster, clearly with a lot of exposure and research on magic, definitely more powerful than an ordinary Blue Dragon.

The Green Dragon knowing spiritual energy is really unexpected.

That smaller Red Dragon would be much easier to deal with, if there was no interference, a few spells could stop its heart from beating.

Even if leaving, he might kill two dragons and then leave... There’s a big chance for that smaller Red Dragon, and the Green Dragon isn’t without chance either, but he could also be found by that terrifying Red Dragon.

Too bad the pyramid had been dismantled, otherwise, he could use the Focusing Eye, absorbing the magic energy permeating the pyramid to heal himself or use spells. No Dimension Bag can carry off the Undead Black Scripture, where could the Undead Black Scripture have gone... Without it, Su Ausis had little confidence in defeating the four dragons.

Then again, he wasn’t a Mummy Lord, without the capability to fully revive near a canopic jar holding his heart after death.

Of course, it wasn’t that he couldn’t become a Mummy Lord, but because turning into a Mummy Lord, or a Witch Demon, would mean becoming an undead creature, having to bid farewell to fine wine, gourmet food, beautiful women, etc... All his life he was devoted to uncovering the secrets of immortality to stay eternally young, not to turn into an undead being who can only live in darkness.

Tassera detected Su Ausis’s intentions, casting spells to prepare a Dimension Anchor to prevent Su Ausis from engaging in Dimension Travel.

Tassera could use Mirage, which is a Seven-Ring Magic spell, undoubtedly belonging to a high-level spellcaster, but against someone like Su Ausis, it’s just a matter of raising a hand for a Counter Spell.

Seeing Tassera and Su Ausis clash, Leon immediately threw six swords into the sky, controlling them to fly towards the hovering Su Ausis.

Cecilia followed closely using Spiritual Step, transforming into fragmented light and disappearing into the air, appearing the next moment behind Su Ausis, swinging a claw attack.

As for Salovis, she didn’t dare be reckless, standing far away using a Breath Weapon...

The four dragons launched their attack, helping Su Ausis make the decision to leave.

Mysterious Steps can teleport a relatively short distance, but the spellcasting speed is fast, any random movement can activate it, and it’s instantaneous. Dimension Gate has a slower casting speed, but the teleportation distance is more than ten times that of Mysterious Steps. Combining the two allows for a quick escape over a long distance.

A spell is an independent magical effect, a single manipulation of the magic energy permeating the multiverse to reshape it, culminating in its manifestation in a specific way within a designated area.

To cast a spell, one must comply with a variety of constraints, not as straightforward and brutal as a physical profession with immense strength, but the corresponding effect is more powerful.

"Are you trying to run away?" Leon only had Gathering and Dispersing Energy, unable to compete against teleportation.

Su Ausis remained motionless, saying, "This isn’t running away, it’s a strategic withdrawal."

Leon was very strong, but lacked spells targeting spellcasters, and Tassera’s spellcasting level was far lower than Su Ausis’s, leaving Cecilia and Salovis even less of a threat... If Su Ausis wanted to leave, they really couldn’t stop him.

Originally expecting a big battle after eliminating the undead army, they hadn’t anticipated that Su Ausis would actually run, unknown to which plane he had fled, whether it’s this plane or another; surely another would be a lower plane, ending a major battle on an anticlimactic note, leaving Leon disappointed.

Leon really wanted to keep Su Ausis, though he couldn’t think of a way to keep a top-tier spellcaster, how about blasting him with Hand Palm Bombs, ending with a Samadhi True Fire blast?

Leon was somewhat displeased, but Salovis cheered excitedly, shouting, "We won, we won, we won."

"Did we really win?" Leon couldn’t help but say, "Didn’t we let him run away?"

"Even though we didn’t achieve a complete victory, we did win indeed," Tassera said, "What exactly are you dissatisfied with?"

"He must have tons of magic equipment, now that he’s escaped, it means our loot has decreased," Leon said, having witnessed Su Ausis produce a magic wand on the spot, using it up and switching to another wand, then taking out a magic book, touching a scroll as well.

"You have a couple of good points there," Tassera nodded subconsciously.

"Also," Cecilia said, "we have to worry about when he’ll come back and take revenge on us."

"I’m not really worried about that," Leon laughed, "when he comes back for revenge, it will surely be years, even decades later, by then my strength will have improved at least one level. This is his territory, he has home advantage, when it’s Volcanic Island, it will be our territory."

"By then I will definitely become stronger too," Tassera was full of confidence.

"Yes, by that time I can definitely fully unleash the potential of the Jade Dragon," Cecilia nodded.

"What are you all thinking about?" Salovis had only treasure in her eyes, "That Su Ausis was driven away by us, there’s no one left to stop us."

"Let’s get to work," Salovis said excitedly, "there must be a lot of treasure inside that pyramid."

Thinking Su Ausis might leave, but the pyramid couldn’t be moved, there must be a lot left inside, Leon could reluctantly accept it.
