Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 7: The Jackal's Ring and Harvest

"Hoo!! I'm free!!"

At the moment the red-robed wizard died, the barbarian shouted loudly, he knew that the magic weapon that controlled him had lost its operator.

Nemesis turned his gaze to the gnolls, where only three warriors were still alive. However, the barbarian had also paid a price. A huge wound ran across his waist, and one could even vaguely see his white intestines.

The level 5 warrior gave him a strong physique. Despite such a terrible wound, he still stood firmly in the same place, without changing his expression in the face of two wolf warriors who were eyeing him covetously.

But Nemesis had already seen that he was at the end of his strength. The ring on the red-robed wizard's hand fell silent at the moment of his death, and the dark energy that gave the werewolf the ability to recover his body was disconnected.

The barbarian waved the long sword in his hand and made a threatening look. He roared and tried to intimidate the werewolf warriors in front of him, but they had already been completely controlled by the Mind Gem and had lost all fear at this moment.

"Damn it, that dark energy actually disappeared along with the control." The barbarian's face turned ugly. Originally, relying on his recovery ability and his powerful strength, he was enough to kill all those jackals, but now that he had lost that dark energy, he could hardly even swing his knife.

The scroll dragon flapped its huge wings and slowly landed next to the wizard's body. It took off his ring with its nimble fingers and put it on its own hand.

Magic power flowed from Nemesis' body and into the ring. Its name and usage immediately appeared in his mind.

This ring is called the Ring of the Jackal, and it possesses extremely powerful necromancy power. It will grant the holder three functions.

1: The holder of the precepts can unconditionally control the six jackals, making them obey the holder of the precepts as their master.

2: Once a day, cast the six-ring necromancy spell [Horrible Transformation], which can transform up to six jackals into gnolls, with a small chance of barbarians appearing.

3: The gnoll controlled by the ring bearer will gain the permanent effect of the third-ring necromancy spell [Animate Flesh and Blood], which can give the recipient a powerful recovery ability.

When the barbarian saw the abominable dragon putting on the ring, he wanted to rush over anxiously, but he fell to the ground before he even took a step, and the disgusting dark power descended upon him again.

"Master." The barbarian soldier lowered his head helplessly to show his submission.

Nemesis nodded with satisfaction. The control power of the Jackal Ring exceeded his expectations. Apart from free will, the recipient could not put up any resistance to the ring bearer. Even any attempt to harm the ring bearer was forbidden.

"That red robe wizard can only control six gnolls with this ring, but I am different. The Mind Gem allows me to control all gnolls. Even if barbarians appear, I can control them with the power of the ring itself."

Juan Ce Long was calculating in his mind. The appearance of this ring allowed him to foresee the possibility of building his own monster force. One [Terrible Transformation] per day could transform six gnolls. As long as he collected enough gnolls, he would have sixty gnoll warriors in ten days!
It’s not that he hadn’t thought about winning back some of his subordinates before, but firstly, he was too weak as a young dragon, and secondly, he didn’t want too many people to discover his existence.

This is why he has been hiding in the Mage Tower for the past five years. Due to insufficient nutrition, it took him five years to evolve from a dragonfly!
You should know that the evolution time from the dragonfly stage to the young dragon stage is at most five years, and most true dragons may have completed energy reserves in the third year, but he dragged it until the final time of evolution.

It's not that he doesn't want to hunt more creatures, but he is not the only one in this forest. For a dragonfly in the stage of dragon hatchling, many monsters are extremely dangerous.

But now it was different. The Jackal Ring could provide him with enough monsters, and he himself had advanced to the 4th level warlock. The offensive power of the first-ring spells and prophecy was almost zero, but the second-ring spells were different. The scroll dragon that inherited all the spells in its bloodline already had a sharp blade. Nemesis continued to search the body of the red-robed wizard. As a wealthy man who could cast two third-ring spells, he believed that the other party should still have some benefits to gain.

Nimble fingers undressed the red-robed wizard and pulled out a silver leather bag from the inner layer of his clothes.

"This is... a space pocket!"

Nemesis recognized this magic item. As an expensive storage item, even the smallest 1m×1m space pocket was worth 2000 gold coins, almost a hundred times his pitiful treasure!
The dragon, who became rich overnight, couldn't wait to open his space pocket to see what else was inside, but apart from more than three hundred gold coins, there were only two books.

“Hey, isn’t this the leek bun wrapped in an Hermès bag?”

Nemesis sighed. He thought that the things that could be put into the pocket of this space were at least more valuable than the pocket itself.

He took out two books, one of which was a cowhide book with gold edges that exuded a faint magical atmosphere, and the other was an ordinary diary.

Nemesis first opened the leather book and found that it was actually the spell book of the red-robed wizard!
Except for geniuses with photographic memories, most wizards have a spellbook. They copy the spells they have learned into the spellbook to prevent themselves from forgetting them one day.

After all, for those high-level mages, they have learned hundreds or even thousands of spells, and the spells have very complex spell models and casting spells. If they are not recorded well, it is easy to forget them.

More importantly, the spell book has an extremely important function. When a wizard forgets how to cast a spell he wants to cast, the spell book can quickly locate the page that records that spell. This is a very practical function in battle.

For this reason, compared to those teaching books that only record two or three spells in the whole book, the price of spell books is extremely expensive. After all, all of its paper needs to carry the spell model, which naturally means that every page of it needs to be made of magic paper like a spell scroll.

Of course, as a product of the pinnacle of magic power, the Scroll Dragon does not need such things. The surging magic power makes each of his scales like the best magic paper. He only needs to imprint the spells on his body and he will be able to control them as easily as with his own arms.

Nemesis flipped through the spell book and found that it contained many transmutation spells.

In addition to those he had already learned, there were one-ring transmutation spells [Light of Lunia], [Steam Jet], and [Sonic Burst], two-ring transmutation spells [Scorching Ray], [Wind Creation], [Force Field Blast], [Dark Arrow], and [Ether Prison], and three-ring transmutation spells [Fireball], [Lightning Bolt], [Thunder], and [Star of Afanduo].

And a second-level protective spell [Protection Arrow].

The enrichment of the Transmutation spells gave Nemesis many of the offensive means he urgently needed. Compared with the means of summoning elements from other worlds to attack by the Conjuration system, the attack power of the Transmutation spells of the same level was at least two to three times that of the Conjuration spells.

After putting the spell book back into his space pocket, Nemesis opened the diary again and began to read it.

"Interesting. So that's what it is." Juancelong became excited.
