At night at the dining table in Philon's mansion, only Fisher and Rafael were enjoying dinner. Nana and Philon seemed to be busy with other things, so they were not in the house.
"Did anything strange happen today?"
Fisher looked at Rafael and asked, but the other party looked confused, then shook his head,
"There's nothing strange. It's just us in the house, the children and the maid."
"...That's good. If you have anything to do, you have to use the magic I gave you."
Rafael chewed the food and nodded,
"I see."
"Lal wants any magic!"
Lar shook her short legs and shouted, making Fisher couldn't help but touch her head and said to her,
"You don't need to."
Because they also have slave emblems on their bodies, their position and status can be sensed at any time without the need for additional magic.
Lal narrowed his eyes, and then said with some disappointment,
"But Lal has never used magic. My mother said that using magic would burn my tail like a roasted lizard, and I would never see her again."
While Fisher was listening, he suddenly remembered something and asked them,
"Do you know a companion named Nar?"
Philon mentioned before that his information about these dragons came from a dragon named Nar.
"It's Nar! Lal's brother!"
"Nar is Lal's brother. He should not be far from us when he was captured, but he was taken away by other humans. We don't know where he is now..."
Mill glanced at the excited Lar, then turned to Fisher and explained.
"That's it, I understand."
Fisher nodded, and seeing that the food was almost eaten, he said to Rafael,
"Are you done eating? Once you're done, get ready to go."
Rafael wiped his lips, and then laughed, his eyes full of confidence,
"Humph, I'm ready."
Fisher took her confidence into consideration and picked up his cane and hat, "I hope so. Come with me... Mil and the others will stay here. I will sense if anything happens."
...
...
There is a kind of peaceful tranquility in Philon City at night, because the martial arts arena needs to pass through the living area of demi-humans, so Fisher and the others can see those leisurely and comfortable demi-humans happily sitting at the door of the house, with curiosity
He looked at the passing humans and the red dragon race.
The environment here is really comfortable. At least Rafael has not seen such an environment for a long time. He may have seen it in the tribe before, but so many different races can be so quiet together.
It gave Rafael a sense of unrealistic illusion.
But even so, she was still attracted by this second of tranquility and couldn't extricate herself for a long time.
Fisher did not stop at all because of the scenery in front of him. He just glanced at it casually and then moved faster. Rafael, who stayed in place, could only see his back.
By the time she noticed, he had already walked a long way, making her curl her lips and quickly follow him.
The martial arts arena that Philon mentioned is similar to an open and wide circular square, just under the city wall of the inner city. You can still vaguely see the charred black traces on the ground that cannot be cleaned, which should be traces left by some kind of steam machinery.
.
"It's already wide enough, let's stay here."
Fisher walked to the edge of the field, took off his coat, folded it, and placed it on the ground.
He was wearing a brown-gray vest over a white shirt. He was tall and straight. He walked a long way toward the opposite side of Rafael with his cane, and then turned to look at her.
So far, her methods have basically left nothing behind in front of Rafael. She knows both the physical strength and the magic engraved on the cane. If she really thinks about how to duel, then she has to predict what she will do based on what she knows.
information to make response measures.
However, what Fisher said before about treating her wholeheartedly every time in battle is not a lie. After all, the dragon race after adulthood is not on the same level as before. You can see how strong she is by seeing how she can easily join the army alone.
.
Therefore, Fisher also prepared a reserve method, which is the improved dragon magic.
The traditional pure dragon magic is rough and extremely lethal, but Fisher feels that the application scope of that magic is too small. In the past few days, he has been trying to use human magic theory to improve their dragon magic, which can be considered effective.
achieved preliminary results.
So Fisher raised his cane towards Rafael in the distance and said,
"bring it on."
"Hmph, be careful!"
Rafael closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then slowly opened his eyes. His green eyes seemed to be glowing under the night moon, and steam began to slowly flow out of his body, indicating that she had completely entered.
combat status.
"boom!"
The next second, with a loud noise, the ground beneath her feet instantly cracked, and she herself jumped up like a red meteor, spinning in mid-air and rushing towards Fisher.
Fisher had already anticipated her offensive methods. With his current physical strength, he could no longer fight hand-to-hand like he did with an underage girl. This would be as stupid as putting his hand into a meat grinder.
So the first step is for Fisher to distance himself.
He jumped back with a sudden step, and the cane in his hand also lit up with a halo in an instant. The familiar [Dance of Bees] magic was activated. The magic emblem on the cane dimmed a bit this time, and the "buzzing" sound was heard.
The buzzing light blade blocked her movement in the air.
"This trick is no longer useful!"
A huge amount of steam surged out of Rafael's body, spinning at the speed of light like a top. The light blade couldn't hit Rafael in mid-air.
But Fisher's purpose was not to use a simple light blade to decide the outcome of the battle. It was enough to temporarily delay her offensive posture.
The white halo on his hand lit up again, and the four-ring magic [Gravity Magic] above it was most suitable for dealing with extremely fast-moving enemies like Rafael. The familiar feeling of weight appeared around Rafael again.
Her body spun extremely fast and slammed to the ground.
"Ha...this trick..."
Rafael gritted her teeth and slowly exhaled the breath in her mouth. The next second, the scales on her body shone like the sun.
It was completely different from the almost indistinguishable light before she became an adult. In the night, the light emitted by her scales was extremely dazzling for a moment, and then even the air in the place was heated to the point of twisting and turning.
.
The dragon race's unique method of improving physical fitness first appeared in Fisher's eyes in this exaggerated way. The ground around Rafael was cracked, and she was holding it against him.
The consequences of gravity magic for fast movement.
The cement on the ground and the enhanced gravity were like air, and were distorted by the scorching temperature around her. Her body once again turned into a meteor and rushed towards Fisher.
Her strategy is also very simple, that is, to fight Fisher in close combat.
Fisher's human body bonus is far inferior to hers. The only thing that gives her a headache is the countless magic, and the release of magic requires time and distance. Once in close combat, Fisher will have no room to release it. When the time comes, he will
You can only accept your own failure.
Fisher's eyes twitched, and while he stepped back suddenly, he pulled off the sleeve of his left hand. If you had a good vision, you could see a transparent dragon's tooth-shaped magic emblem engraved there.
The inside of the sleeve.
After Fisher improved the input amount and output method of magic power, the dragon race's magic is no longer as conspicuous as before. Now it only shines when the magic is activated, no different from human magic.
The moment the sleeve was thrown out, the magic emblem on the inside was immediately ignited, and then from the void where the magic emblem connected the world, a huge blue wall of fire erupted in a twisted manner.
"Roar!"
With another roar like a dragon, the fire curtain burst into flames, separating the distance between Rafael and Fisher. It seemed that due to improvements, the flames this time were far less intense than the previous night.
It was so exaggerated during the test, but a fire wall tens of meters high was enough to stop Rafael.
"Ahhhhh!"
She roared angrily, and the glowing dragon claws of both hands suddenly passed through the huge fire wall, and then the claws clasped the fire curtain. The entire fire curtain was torn apart by her as if it were tangible, and the red horns were
The night sky shone brightly, as if some invisible force covered her.
It turns out that the external magic circuit can actually give the draconian a half-magic body shape, which allows her to touch the essence of magic itself.
In Fisher's eyes, he saw the coat of arms engraved with magic being held invisibly by Rafael's hands. With her movements, the power of magic no longer lasted and became precarious.
.
Demon-breaking combined with extremely strong physical strength, this is the adult dragon race... No, ordinary dragon races will never be so powerful, only Raphael is so special.
Fisher's expression remained unchanged, but his body moved backwards towards the madness behind him.
In his sight, the scales around Rafael were no longer as bright as before, and gradually became dim.
Rafael once again wanted to pursue him, but he used some kind of magic to hold him back. During this process, he and Rafael always kept a distance.
As time went on, the fatigue in her body slowly rose to her mind. She gritted her teeth suddenly, concentrated all her strength on her legs, then slammed the ground, and instantly appeared in front of Fisher in his surprised sight.
.
"You can't run away!"
Her claws were like knives, just hitting the direction of his fox-like black eyes...
Why..
No, why can't he see that he is panicking at all?
Looking at the calm Fisher, Rafael, who was getting close, already realized that something was wrong, but she was still unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get close and strike at Fisher.
But the next moment, countless fluorescent threads under her body were tightly wrapped around her body like steel wires. From her feet to her body to her hands, they were all bound by the threads coming from the void. This caused her to
The final blow was just a hair away from touching Fisher.
Four Rings of Magic, [The Spinner].
But even so, the attack that was still some distance away from Fisher still brought a burst of wind to Fisher, because the huge force pushed the air towards Fisher's face, blowing his hair wildly,
It also blew away some of his calm expression.
Then, the entire martial arts arena fell silent. Rafael was tightly bound in place and motionless, and the scales on his body dimmed, causing him great fatigue.
Rafael still lost.
After a second of surprise at the Dragon Man's power, he clapped his hands and concluded,
"Excellent fighting, at least you have the consciousness to use your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, and give full play to your fighting advantages."
"But you made two mistakes. You ignited your scales too early to activate your power, and you used all your strength before I even showed my backhand. This shortened the overall battle time and reduced your error tolerance; secondly, you won't
It's a trade-off. You already realized something was wrong in the last blow, but you still attacked me stubbornly, coveting the few attack opportunities, so you were caught by the magic trap I set."
Rafael puffed up his cheeks and avoided Fisher's preaching gaze, as if it could burn her.
But she was not unconvinced, because everything Fisher said was right. After a brief reflection, everything was her fault.
"But..." All the threads around her disappeared, and a big hand covered her head, "Other than that, there are no obvious flaws. You did a good job."
"Why..."
Fisher carried his cane and walked towards the place where he put his suit jacket, and his calm voice came by the way,
"You owe me two punishment opportunities, and I'm going to use one tonight."
Rafael was stunned for a moment, his mouth trembling slightly as he reached out and rubbed the red hair on his forehead.
No...don't touch me...
This kind of thing...
Her face was dyed with a rich cherry color, the armor on her body fell down due to his touch, and her tail swayed happily, making her heart beat faster.
Whether it was because of the battle or because of that person's touch, she didn't dare to think.
And regarding the matter of punishment, for some reason, Rafael remembered the voices of Nana and the city lord that he heard last night.
