Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 156 - Senior's Comments

It's hard to imagine how Wu Chen is feeling right now.

When Hera's fingertips touched Calja's skin, a sudden surge of impatience welled up within him.

Quack! Don't poke her!

It was probably awkward.

“It’s just a record.” Hera smiled, but still withdrew her hand. “Just like your specialty, the Binding Sword, its principle is to extract the concept of the sword, shape it, and then infuse it with magic. The information of the alliance will also be left in the mark, so extracting it in the same way and then infusing it with magic will naturally achieve the same effect.”

"And in this way, your deficiency in the field of summoning is compensated. Hmm... Don't you want them to get injured in battle? Don't worry, their essence is condensed magic power. Even if they are seriously injured or many die, it will not affect their original body. Rather, every battle you take them into is recorded as experience. And when you return to that strange annihilation plane, it will be shared with their original body's abilities."

She seemed very interested.

She has used this spell more than once.

Wu Chen didn't know whether he should pity Hera's allies. He had originally thought that Miss Qina was just someone who routinely got bombarded with high-level magic, but he hadn't expected her to watch her projections being sent to the front lines to die repeatedly. And as a result, the wizards' infamy in Skyrim Province was further cemented.

There's a reason why wizards are unpopular in this land!

More importantly, I'll probably do the same thing in the future!
“You always seem so insecure.” Hera’s gaze lingered on the three sisters. “With their help, you should be able to hibernate and explore more easily. I can tell that you haven’t had a proper night’s sleep except for last night. What, are you worried about getting your throat slit while you’re asleep?”

No, there is no way to refute it.

Wu Chen had to admit that being able to summon the three sisters made his explorations and adventures much easier. And…

"Damn! I remember now. The 10th Anniversary DLC actually has a spell to summon humanoid creatures. And it's related to the Demon God Shelgra, like the Golden Saint, the Dark Temptress… Seriously, are you a DLC content wholesaler?! So when are you going to teach me Unbound Flash?"
Thoughts raced wildly. Fortunately, Hera seemed to have been looking at Remedios's holy sword, so she probably didn't read his comment.

Let's just pretend it wasn't read properly!
"Uh..." Wu Chen struggled to find the right words. "Really... won't it affect them?"

"Don't you believe me?"

Goo!
I just wanted to start a conversation to lighten the mood!
"The main reason is that their power system is quite unique. It's completely different from Nien's." Wu Chen slapped his forehead, retrieving the mage's treasure from his dream. Sure enough, Hera's gaze was immediately drawn to the book chest containing a large number of magic books.

“Here.” He pushed the box next to Hera. “I thought you might prefer magic books, so I specially collected and compiled a set. Oh, and this…”

Xizi's automaton body falls.

"This is an enemy I encountered outside. Its manufacturing process must be quite unique. And it must have some very important secrets in its head. After thinking about it, I think only you, senior, can help me sort them out..."

He saw Herra reach out and carefully and lightly take a book from the bookcase. After flipping through only two pages, he raised an eyebrow. Then he closed the book.

“Dust, Dust.” She sighed softly. “You’ve really surprised me. You dared to show me something like this; you really have faith in me.”

"Uh... because you're smarter, senior?"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll just die and disappear while I'm watching, as if I never existed in the first place?"

Goo!
Hera shook her head and put the book back in the book box.

"Don't worry, I've explored the secrets of Numidian and have experience with zero-sum games. If I were really going to die, I would have died the first time I saw you go to the 'Special Annihilation Dimension'... But I'll still give you a piece of advice: if you don't want any acquaintances around you to suddenly vanish into nothingness, it's best to keep them away from these 'Other Annihilation' things... Hmm, you should know what zero-sum means, right?"

Mondas is a dream of the gods; upon realizing he is in a dream, he instantly awakens and vanishes—this is the zero-sum game. Only those with sufficiently strong will and wisdom can circumvent this. Like demons, or incarnations of holy spirits. Those lacking the ability… their fate can be seen in the annihilation of the dwarves, or the Winterhold wizard who vanished while exploring the dwarves' secrets.

"I was wrong!" Wu Chen raised his hands in surrender.

“Not a shred of sincerity,” Hera sighed. “But you gave me such a generous gift, and I really like it and need it. Hmm… this means I’ll have to readjust some of my plans for you. Dust, your story isn’t over yet.”

It really doesn't.

Wu Chen felt a little embarrassed, but he still sat up straight. Then, he continued his story.

From the ruins of the Holy King to Aincrad.

From the martial arts tournament to the invasion of the Green Dragon King.

In the end, Wu Chen displayed the treasures he obtained by slaying the Corrupted Root Dragon King, Velvitas. The emerald green dragon skeleton crown was also on the table. Of course, this also included the secret technique he possessed for changing dragon forms.

“…Interesting.” Hera picked up the crown, examining it closely. “It is indeed a rather powerful dragon-like behemoth. It even possesses a trace of true dragon characteristics. And, you learned the local magic of transforming into a dragon through your unique method?” “Yes, a unique method.” Wu Chen nodded, wanting to do something but then looking hesitant. “However, due to the different environment—”

A new bottle of potion appeared before him.

"This is a potion that can temporarily increase your maximum mana. It can grant you the maximum mana of an ordinary high-level wizard. Of course, the duration is not very long. But it should be enough for you to cast a high-level spell that consumes a lot of mana."

The senior student is so thoughtful.

This way, I can continue using chain-triggered spells in Nirn. And...

The potion, downed in one gulp.

Seconds later, that familiar, powerful sensation, propelled by the surge of magical energy, entered Wu Chen's senses. He donned the mask, and the final gap was filled. Then…

The body expands and proliferates.

Emerald scales instantly covered his entire body, and enormous wings and sharp horns emerged. In just a few brief seconds, the familiar form of an ancient green dragon was revealed. And a surge of fighting spirit welled up in Wu Chen's chest.

came back! They're all back!

Power! Dominance! Lofty aspirations!

Wu Chen took a deep breath. His gaze towards Hera held a hint of eager anticipation.

"How is it? This power, this magic?"

He saw Hera smile, and then the witch raised a hand.

The world spun around me, and everything went black.

Thoughts, senses, all in chaos.

By the time he realized what was happening, Wu Chen was already lying on the ground, his eyes blank and bewildered.

What happened?
"Hmm, casting this spell seems to require a certain level of basic life force. If someone isn't even a high-level wizard and rashly transforms into a higher form, the caster might experience some degree of mental disturbance." Hera stood beside him, taking notes in a notebook she'd pulled out from somewhere. "Um, Dust, do you have any lower-grade spell mediums?"

"There's also a set of blue dragon and red dragon scales..." Wu Chen suddenly jolted awake. "Wait! Wait a minute! I... I've already lost?"

“No.” Hera closed her notebook. “You don’t think we were fighting just now, do you?”

quack!
Wu Chen suddenly leaped up.

"That doesn't count! Let's try again!"

“Alright.” Hera merely smiled. She extended her hand, and in that instant, the connection between Wu Chen and the three sisters was temporarily severed, and the sisters’ eyes immediately brightened, their movements perfectly synchronized. “However, this time you will fight them.”

A minotaur right in front of you!?

Wu Chen's eyes were red. Even if it was a senior, this kind of thing was intolerable!
"Come on!" The three sisters of the Holy Kingdom are nothing to him. He will end the battle within thirty seconds!

So……

Thirty seconds later.

Wu Chen, his face bruised and swollen, lay on the ground where he had just been lying, blinking. Meanwhile, not far away, Remedios's minor injuries were rapidly healing under Calga's care.

No, not possible!
"You're not in the right state! One more time... the last time!"

Wu Chen leaped up again. This time, however, he decided to abandon his dragon form and fight using only magic and martial arts.

Opposite him, the elegant witch waved her hand. Khurat and Calja then withdrew. She, controlling Remedios who held the holy sword, revealed a subtle smile that said, 'I just can't do anything with you.'

One minute later.

Wu Chenchen, suffering from severe tuberculosis and seven injuries, lay on the crater-like body that had been struck twice—no, three times—and was questioning the meaning of life.
