Chapter 474 The Incredibly Cunning Golden Dragon (Please Subscribe!)

Alchemists are magical professions that specialize in item crafting and magical doll creation, and they are quite popular in the "Northern Continent of Kiltina".

"Actually, it's a secondary option. It's usually only mages who really don't have much magical talent who switch to this path."

Elevseria began by saying that his former disciple, Duke Barbaroa, switched to alchemy because he felt his magical talent was mediocre.

Duke Barbarossa did a pretty good job, as evidenced by the "Golden Owl Guild" in front of him.

However, the current "Golden Owl Guild" is completely different. The reason why Elevseria knew that there was something wrong with the "Golden Owl Guild" was because he knew that Duke Barbaroa had passed away many years ago.

Therefore, when Duke Barbaroa reappeared, Elevseria immediately knew that there was something wrong with the "Golden Owl Guild".

Within the city of Philanthropy, the air seemed to be filled with a peculiar smell, a mixture of metal and alchemical potions.

Just as Magnolia is now known as the "City of Mages," Philan City is the "City of Alchemists" of the "Northern Continent of Giltina."

"Let's go in and take a look first."

Moen looked at the "magic castle" in front of him, his brows furrowed.

Although he immediately noticed something was wrong with the "magic castle," he really didn't know how to solve it.

The Golden Dragon Vernes is in an extremely strange state; he has neither a physical body nor a soul here. This "magic castle" is him, yet it is not him.

Golden Dragon Vernes is in a "Schrödinger state" that is both present and non-present.

Once Moen spoke, the others naturally had no objections and followed him into the "magic castle".

In fact, both Elevseria and Melkkobia, the Water God Dragon, also sensed something was amiss. After all, they were both dragons now and were quite sensitive to the aura of their own kind.

"This seems to be a bit troublesome..."

'

The Water Dragon Melkkobia hadn't figured it out, but the highly talented "Magic Dragon" Elevseria had almost figured it out.

Therefore, "Falong" Elevseria was even more troubled, and he began to rack his brains to figure out how to get rid of the current state of the Golden Dragon Vernes.

"Gentlemen, is there anything I can help you with?"

As soon as Moen and his group entered the hall of the "Golden Owl Guild," they were immediately surrounded by people with very serious attitudes.

The man was completely covered by a trench coat and a mask, with only his eyes showing, and carried a giant iron sword on his back.

"Where is your guild leader? Tell him his master has arrived."

Moen glanced at the "person" in front of him and casually replied that this guy was not human, but an alchemical doll.

"The president's master?"

The man in the trench coat was puzzled. He was the Iron Alchemist Iron, an alchemical doll created by Duke Barbaroa. He really didn't know anything about Duke Barbaroa's master.

"Steel, step down."

Before Steel could speak again, a voice stopped him.

A middle-aged man with an eyepatch over his left eye, dressed in a well-fitting outfit and exuding a sinister aura, stepped out. This man was none other than Duke Barbaroa, the current guild master of the "Golden Owl Guild".

Behind Duke Barbaroa followed two alchemical dolls: Gennai, the Smoke Alchemist.

Bond Alchemist Sai.

Gennai was dressed in a kimono, had a painted face, and carried a pipe. Sai had a "broken" character pattern on her face and looked like a thug.

Erevseria looked at Duke Barbaroa with a very complicated expression, because this was not the Duke Barbaroa he knew.

"As expected, it's pretty much the same thing."

Moen spoke up directly, because Duke Barbaroa was not much different from what he had imagined; this guy was also a rather strange existence.

Duke Barbaroa seems to be part of the entire "Golden Owl Guild," and also part of the Golden Dragon Vernes. This guy has no soul at all, like a fabricated illusion.

If Steel, Source, and Sai are alchemical dolls created by Duke Barbaroa, then Duke Barbaroa is the magical doll of the Golden Dragon Vernes.

"Erefseria, Melkkobia, and other uninvited guests, you are not welcome here."

Looking at everyone, Duke Barbaroa's tone was cold and hostile, as if he was no longer going to act at all.

Clearly, the arrival of Erefseria and Melkkobia made Golden Dragon Vernes sense something was amiss.

These two guys should have been enemies, but now they've both come to him and seem to be getting along quite well.

This situation is definitely not right. Of course, the most important thing is that Erefseria is Duke Barbaroa's mentor, so he can definitely tell that the Duke Barbaroa in front of him is an imposter.

"Golden Dragon Vernes, I advise you to come out yourself, otherwise I won't be so polite."

Moen spoke before Elevseria could, his words aimed directly at the Golden Dragon, Vernes.

Duke Barbarossa is just a puppet; there's no need to waste words with him. We should just call out the real deal.

"Insolence! Attack!"

Seeing Moen's arrogance, Duke Barbaroa's face turned ugly. He gave an order, and three figures rushed out instantly.

Gennai, the "Alchemist of Smoke," flicked his pipe, and thick, acrid smoke instantly filled the air, obscuring everyone's vision.

"Iron Alchemist" Steel swung the giant iron sword on his back and charged forward, the greatsword slashing at Morn directly in front of him with a piercing shriek that tore through the air.

As for "Bond Alchemist" Sai, he stretched out his hands and directly used his extremely bizarre bond alchemy.

"Forging the Bonds of the Weak!"

Sai's Bond Forging Technique is a very strange ability. This technique, "The Bond of the Weak," allows the target to swap souls with the weak person in one's heart.

The three "alchemy dolls" worked together very well: one threw smoke, one rushed through the smoke to the front, and one directly weakened and affected the opponent's strength.

"Grey, it's all yours now."

Moen took a step back, ceding the battlefield to his disciple.

The plan was to bring Gray along for some training, but Gray has been just sitting on the sidelines the whole time. Now that there are some weak opponents, it's natural to let Gray take the lead.

Water Dragon Melkkobia and Elevseria remained still upon hearing this, not making a move. To them, these alchemical dolls were simply not worth their effort.

"Alright! My turn finally!"

Faced with the three's attack, Gray's eyes were sharp as ice, and his expression was extremely excited; he had been itching to fight for a long time.

"Ice Design - Ice Wall"

Gray clasped his hands together, and a thick ice shield instantly formed, blocking the massive steel sword that came crashing down through the smoke.

At the same time, Gray took a deep breath, and the chill around him suddenly surged. He was already wearing the "Cygnus Suit".

"Ice Demon Zero's Katana!"

Gray, clad in armor, vanished instantly, appearing directly in front of the steel. The ice shield disappeared, and in Gray's hand, an ice katana crafted using the "Ice Demon Slayer Technique" was rapidly drawn and slashed.

"Snap!"

The "Iron Alchemist," whose body was incredibly hard, was cut in half at the waist, and the two halves of his body were quickly frozen into ice sculptures.

A chilling aura emanated from the source, instantly sweeping across the area. The smoke released from the source froze into fine ice crystals that fell to the ground, clearing the field of vision.

Gray had already seen the panicked faces of "Smoke Alchemist" Gennai and "Bond Alchemist" Sai.

The "Iron Alchemist" was defeated far too quickly, killed in the blink of an eye, and in such a way that it was utterly crushed in his own area of ​​expertise. What happened to his supposed indestructibility?!

"The Alchemist of Smoke" Gennai waved his pipe, intending to release smoke once more, this time a highly poisonous one.

"Too slow!"

Gray gave a low shout.

"The Ice Demon's Fervor!"

Gray opened his mouth and spat out a wide area of ​​frost. The frost magic that vanquished evil transformed into a roaring ice tornado, capable of inflicting severe frostbite and impact on all targets in front of him.

"Sizzle!"

The source of "Smoke Alchemist" was directly frozen.

Seeing the situation was dire, the "Bond Alchemist" Sai tried to run away, but for some reason, his usually invincible alchemy magic failed to work! A power far greater than his had neutralized his attack on the soul!

"Whoosh!"

Gray's figure appeared like a ghost in front of "Bond Alchemist" Sai, and his icy fist slammed into Sai's abdomen. Sai's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed with a contorted expression.

In the blink of an eye, Duke Barbaroa's prized alchemical puppet combat squad was easily crushed and defeated by Gray's combination of "Ice Modeling Magic" and "Ice Demon Slayer Magic".

"waste!"

Duke Barbaroa's face was ashen, and he was somewhat exasperated, clearly not expecting this outcome at all.

They couldn't even get the Water God Dragon Melkkobia and Elevseria to fight, and the opponent won by sending only a junior.

"Cool!"

Gray was excited and quite satisfied with his performance; it was finally his turn to shine!

Moen clapped his hands in satisfaction, encouraging Gray. His gaze then fell on Duke Barbaroa, and he said with a hint of sarcasm, "Still unwilling to show yourself? Are you afraid?"

Faced with Moen's mockery, Duke Barbaroa looked grim. He only regretted that his research was not yet complete. If his ultimate weapon were completed, how would these dragons dare to appear in front of him?

"Forget it, let's give it a try and see."

Seeing that Golden Dragon Vernes still showed no intention of showing himself, Moen stopped wasting words.

"Buzz!"

Moen vanished and then appeared directly in front of Duke Barbaroa, placing a hand on Duke Barbaroa's head.

Duke Barbaroa's body stiffened abruptly, his face frozen in shock; he was utterly powerless against Moen's grasp.

"Illusory Demon Emperor Fist".

Moen tried to see if he could control Duke Barbaroa.

However, before Moen could even peek into Duke Barbaroa's memories, the Duke Barbaroa before him crumbled and dissipated, eventually turning into a wisp of golden dust that merged into the floor beneath his feet.

There was no flesh and blood, no screams, as if Duke Barbaroa had never truly existed.

"It was just an illusion after all."

Erevseria said in a deep voice, all of this confirming his suspicions.

"Everything here was made by the Golden Dragon."

Looking at Gray and Melkkobia, who both looked puzzled, Elevseria spoke up.

"what?"

Gray remained puzzled, still not understanding what this meant.

"Where is that golden dragon now?"

Water Dragon Melkkobia also frowned, puzzled. He could sense the presence of Gold Dragon Vernes, but couldn't pinpoint where the creature was hiding.

"Everything before my eyes is him."

Moen spoke up, saying that it was indeed difficult to explain; it was as if the Golden Dragon Vernes had transformed himself into "magic," attaching himself to everything here.

"Go outside first, I'll try it."

Without hesitation, Moen led everyone out. He was going to be ruthless and start with something drastic.

Upon arriving outside the "Golden Owl Guild," Moen's [Leo Gold Cloth] shone brightly.

"Lightning Speed ​​Fist!"

Without any hesitation, Moen made a direct move against the "Golden Owl Guild".

Terrifying light and shadow bombarded the "magic castle" like a torrential downpour. Fists powerful enough to shatter mountains and tear the sky apart left the magnificent castle riddled with holes, large areas collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, it turned to ashes and vanished into nothingness.

"Gurgle."

Looking at the scene before them, both the Water Dragon Melkkobia and Erefseria felt a chill run down their spines.

Even though they had already witnessed Moen's skills, each time they saw him, they were still incredibly impressed, which gave them even more confidence in Moen's abilities.

"It's useless after all."

However, although the "magic castle" of the "Golden Owl Guild" has been destroyed, the Golden Dragon Vernes remains unharmed.

Moen frowned. The aura of the Golden Dragon Vernes still clung to this land and remained here.

"Sekishiki Meikai Ha!"

Moen quickly changed into the Cancer Gold Cloth and attempted to attack the soul.

However, after Cancer's "Sekishiki Meikai Ha" was unleashed, it was impossible to detect any clear soul fluctuations here.

The current state of Golden Dragon Vernes is that of a "Schrödinger being"—you can say he's dead, yet he's still alive; you can say he's alive, yet neither his body nor his soul can be located.

"This is troublesome."

Even if he was confused, Gray understood the current situation. Although Moeng was strong, this Golden Dragon Vernes was too cunning and was hiding and not coming out.

"Don't rush, don't rush, let me think about it."

Erevseria, who had been racking his brains, reassured everyone that he was close to grasping the key.

"Perhaps... there really is a way that might work."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Elevseria's eyes lit up; the old "Dragon's" extensive magical knowledge had come in handy.
