59 – The Ultimate Meaning Raging Conflagration Sever
Liszt felt quite the sense of accomplishment after teaching Tremblingwoods how to release magic through a forceful method.
“I am someone who has an understanding of science, after all.”
Experimenting and even more experimenting, this was the basis of science, just like when he simply tested the s.p.a.ce ring. It was static and could absorb ordinary items. However, any living organism that was absorbed into the s.p.a.ce ring, would have its soul immediately obliterated. Liszt believed that the soul was also a kind of substance in motion, which would cease to exist once its motion was halted.
He also repeatedly put things in and took them out in order to test the consumption of magic power.
At present, the consumption when using the s.p.a.ce ring was a bit large.
Life felt quite fulfilling while busy.
Yet two days later, he started to feel bored.
The sprite worms had been properly settled down, agriculture and fishing was thriving, the road construction was slow yet steady, the foundations for the oyster settlement"s houses had started to be excavated, and the knight squad"s candidates were being tested by Marcus – everything was being taken care of, so there was nothing to worry about or pay attention to.
Alike the majority of aristocrats, he was bored.
If there were a city nearby, then he could still hold a ball, a banquet, or a hunt, expanding his aristocratic connections. The Flower Town was quite occluded. There were only four people qualified to have a meal with him; he could not be preparing a banquet for the four of them every day.
Therefore, Liszt decided to find something else to do.
He intended to implement his offensive against the Thorns Ridge in advance.
“The Thorns Ridge is the Flower Town"s greatest obstruction. It has to be broken through. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to communicate with the Coral City. In here, it is tantamount to having my arms tied.”
As a person from the modern Earth, Liszt was quite clear about the importance of communications.
He had talked with Levis about human trafficking, yet he could not guarantee that Levis would take it seriously. The Tulip fleet had almost returned, but if Levis forgot or neglected to do the appropriate arrangements, then he would have to wait at least three months to get another opportunity.
When going into the see to trade, the fleet had to pa.s.s through many islands. A trip would usually take at least three months.
If this opportunity was missed, then the Flower Town"s development would be delayed by three months. Although he was not in a rush, but Liszt still did not want to waste time.
“Magic beasts are quite difficult to deal with for the time being. In the woods, they can launch sneak attacks at any time. If I were to chop down all the trees in the Thorns Ridge, would the magic beasts be capable of beating Teacher Marcus in the open wilderness? Besides, I am also not to a vegetarian (I am not to be trifled with). And even if I was a vegetarian, the Bloodred Sword still has to drink blood!”
A gem weapon was of great help against low-ranked magic beasts.
It might not be razor-sharp, but with the resonance between the ruby"s magic power and List"s qi, it could at least increase his fighting strength.
Whoosh, clank!
He pulled out the Redblood Sword, holding it with his two hands. It was a two-handed sword suitable to be used on horseback.
The silver-white sword radiated cold light.
“Heart of Fire Dragon Drill!”
Liszt shouted lightly and brandished the sword in his hands forward, releasing the [Fire Dragon Drill] secret manual"s ultimate meaning. Flames rose from the Redblood Sword and charged ahead, burning the air. The burned air crackled. This move combined man and horse into one. After delving into it for this entire time, Liszt could already unleash it by himself.
He condensed the attack in a single direction, not harming himself.
Liszt put away the sword as he stood with his chin held high.
The flame in the air dissipated and everything returned back to the normal calm, with only the still burning-hot temperature proving that someone had just used a special move. He exhaled faintly: “If the Windblade Wolf were to face this attack, then it would be already dead.”
He was already proficient at the [Fire Dragon Drill] secret manual.
Now, he was no longer considered a rookie Earth Knight. He could already put up a fight, only lacking in real combat experience. He planed to continue delving into the [Fire Surge Fluctuations] secret manual. The [Fire Surge Fluctuations] secret manual was a crowd attack qi secret manual suitable for charges, with the rapport between knight and mount being its prerequisite.
Three of the four retainer knights went with Marcus to pick the new recruits.
Only Gray Sickle was with Liszt.
“Gray, bring my lance, I want to practice with it on horseback.
“Yes, Sir!”
They went to the horse field.
The green alfalfa stretched as far as the eye could see. The alfalfa near the alfalfa sprite worm"s worm stalk was the lushest. This track of pasture was claimed by Blackdragon, and the other horses did not dare to graze on it. Occasionally, Firedragon would sneak in and graze on it a bit, but then it would be discovered by Blackdragon and bitten.
Before entering the breeding season, Blackdragon did not care whether the other party was a stallion or a mare.
“Master, you want to ride? Do you want me to bring the horse tack?” Tom, who was carrying water back to the castle, hurriedly came over to ask when he saw Liszt without a servant following behind.
“There is no need, you are busy as is.”
“Yes, Master!”
Liszt whistled. Suddenly, a pure black steed rushed over with the wind. It was Blackdragon, the dragonhorse with dragon bloodline.
Its shoulder height was at least 1,90 meters, a bit taller than Liszt himself.
Therefore, he had to jump up in order to mount it.
Riding such a big horse was awe-inspiring. It had no reins, saddle, or stirrup – Blackdragon"s temperament did not allow it to be bond by horse tack. Liszt did not force it as his physique was that of an Earth Knight and his equestrianism was getting more and more exquisite.
By relying on the exquisite equestrianism, man and horse could be as one without relying on horse tack.
“Blackdragon, cooperate with me.” After petting Blackdragon on its neck, Liszt took the nearly three-meter-long lance handed to him by Gray. Only with formidable strength could one use it freely.
The lance was forged from fine steel. A retainer knights would oil and maintain it every day, which was why it shimmered.
“Snort!”
Blackdragon seemed to display its strength as it lifted its forelimbs off the ground and reared. It neighed at the sun. Then, with Liszt on its back, it went into gallop on the horse field. Following Liszt"s commands, it sped along, briskly halted, jumped, or turned around. While on horseback, apart from commanding Blackdragon, Liszt also unleashed the moves of the [Fire Surge Fluctuations] secret manual.
The lance was too long to be used like a one-handed sword. However, following Blackdragon"s rhythm, each move carried boundless might.
“Raging Conflagration Sever!”
The furious shout made Liszt"s qi surge, before pouring into the lance. The Blackdragon beneath him moved according to his will as it madly leaped forward.
The qi ignited the air. The entire lance seemed to be on fire.
Alike raindrops, yellowish-red flames swept from high above Blackdragon and fell to the ground. The alfalfa was burned to ash in a flash.
Hum!
When Blackdragon landed firmly on the ground, Liszt tilted the lance and inserted it into the ground, and then pacified the chaotic qi inside him. The Raging Conflagration Sever was the ultimate meaning of the [Fire Surge Fluctuations] secret manual. Although this move consumed a great deal of qi, but it could encompa.s.s a large area. This move could kill tens of opponents in a charge.
Especially Blackdragon"s strength, speed, and temper could allow this move to be displayed to its greatest degree.
This degree could not be accomplished when working with Firedragon.
“Unfortunately, you are to be a breeding stallion, so I cannot ride you to the battlefield… Of course, I am not too likely to go to the battlefield in the first place.
Liszt dismounted Blackdragon and patted its thigh, letting it to go graze. Next, he used another type of whistle to call Firedragon.
He rode Firedragon to the castle.
“Gray, go and call Teacher Gort.”
“Yes, Sir!”
A moment later, Gort arrived at the castle: “Liszt, is something the matter?”
“I intend to cut down the trees in the Thorns Ridge to reduce the magic beasts" habitat and remove the obstruction that hinders the development of the Flower Town” Said Liszt with enthusiasm.
Gort frowned: “When cutting down trees, it is inevitable to encounter magic beasts – would that not be too risky?”
“If I and Teacher Marcus personally act as guards, then there will be no danger as long as we don"t encounter a large number of magic beasts. After all, we will fight in an open field. Magic beasts are rare in the Thorns Ridge. And besides, I only plan to cut down the trees on both sides of the road.”
First cut down a part, then step by step reduce the magic beasts" living s.p.a.ce, then wait for the appropriate preparations to be done before ending things in one fell swoop.
This was Liszt"s plan.
