However, there hasnât been much progress. This power is indeed a bit strange.
"What do you intend to do with me, sir?"
The Black Dragon looked at the smiling Lis, and for some reason, Lis, who was handsome and charming, appeared to him just like a demon, with eyes full of greed.
By now, the Black Dragon also knew that the human in front of him was a Legendary Strongman, someone he couldnât resist at the moment.
"I originally had some interest in the Dragon Clanâs body and Dragon Language Magic. Although my good friend is a Golden Dragon, I canât exactly ask him to cooperate with me in research."
"Luckily, I have you, and I initially thought of using you as experimental material for a while."
"But I didnât expect any other surprises from you!"
Lis gazed at Black Dragon Mirapoleias as if he were a rare treasure.
The hidden matter of the Undead Mage Calvo is the Divine Status of an Undead Demigod, and Lis had already gathered some clues about that Undead Church.
He remembered that in the [Frozen Land Hell Fragment] secret realm on Treasure Pearl Sea Ketiya Island, there was an Undead Church that served as a backdrop where players could temporarily take refuge to avoid the wandering Undead Creatures in the secret realm.
Looking back now, it should be the church of [Death Lament] Ivan Water that Calvo was pursuing.
However, the Divine Status of an Undead Demigod wasnât as attractive to Lis as the Black Dragon in front of him.
Firstly, Lis already possessed the Virtual Elemental Divine left by the Legendary Arcanist Sphinx, so the Divine Status of the Undead Demigod wasnât that important, and among the people he knew, none had walked this path.
On the other hand, the Power of Destruction on the Black Dragon Mirapoleias was too special, such a level of power shouldnât appear on a Black Dragon at all!
During the Black Dragonâs unconsciousness, Lis carefully researched and experimented with the Power of Destruction on the Black Dragon, and in his opinion, it was a manifestation of a world rule power.
This Power of Destruction, like the [Life] and [Nature] he mastered, was an extremely important and powerful rule of Gaia World.
However, due to the Black Dragonâs current weak strength, the Destruction Power he could invoke was very small, yet it far surpassed the Black Dragonâs current strength.
Although the Black Dragon had just become Golden Rank, if the opponent hadnât mastered the Extraordinary Domain, they might not be able to do anything to him.
In fact, the Black Dragonâs current mastery of the Power of Destruction equated to him naturally possessing the seed of the [Destruction] Domain. Even without mastering the [Destruction] Domain, he could wield the power of the [Destruction] Domain.
This made Lis quite envious.
Among the various Extraordinary Domains Lis mastered, the [War] and [Slaughter] domains, in some sense, were the sub-domains of [Destruction], and even so, they significantly boosted Lisâs combat capabilities.
Lis, of course, wanted to master the [Destruction] Domain.
However, what puzzled Lis was that the [Wisdom] Domain, which usually never failed him, did not help Lis parse information about the [Destruction] Domain this time.
This meant Lis couldnât take shortcuts and had to settle down and explore slowly.
The reason for restraining the Black Dragon on the experimental platform was to study how this Black Dragon mastered the Power of Destruction.
For this, Lis studied various parts of Black Dragon Mirapoleiasâs body, including Dragon Scales, Dragon Blood, and even sampled muscle tissues for examination.
After all, the Black Dragonâs body was so large, losing a bit didnât matter.
Yet during Lisâs research, he didnât gain any useful information.
Even if those body tissues had the aura of Destruction Power before being removed from Mirapoleias, as soon as they left his body, they quickly became no different from ordinary Dragon Scales and Dragon Blood.
Having found no results from these attempts, Lis could only seek the reason from the Black Dragon.
"What is the situation with the Power of Destruction on you?"
"How did you master it?"
Facing Lisâs inquiry, the Black Dragon was initially reluctant to tell the truth.
After all, this was his greatest secret and trump card, how could he easily tell others.
But looking at it again, if he didnât tell the truth to this Legendary under the crown, the Black Dragon feared there might be no future for him.
"I also donât know how I mastered it, after passing the last slumber period before becoming an Adult Dragon, I woke up and had it mastered."
The Black Dragon said honestly, without any other thoughts.
"You mastered it just by waking up?"
Lis looked at the Black Dragon in front of him, feeling a bit troubled.
So, itâs simply a matter of talent, and he really didnât know how to do it?
"Can you control the Power of Destruction?"
Lis continued inquiring, casually stroking the icy Dragon Scales on the Black Dragon.
Feeling Lisâs touch, the Black Dragon shivered, as if all his Dragon Scales were about to stand up, and quickly said:
"Yes, yes, I can control this power, but it depletes very quickly."
"Is there any way to keep this power outside your body for a long time?"
Lis continued asking, as he was really interested in the Power of Destruction on the Black Dragon.
One was the desire to try mastering the [Destruction] Domain, and the other was that he got new arcane inspiration from it.
Among the arcane spells Lis mastered, there were spells specifically for dealing with Magic Defense.
[Lisâs Blue Flame Demon Sword]!
This is a special arcane spell extended from Lisâs first created arcane [Blue Ball Skill], where the burning blue flame had a strong corrosive and defense-breaking effect against Magic Power defenses.
In previous battles, it had proved to be quite useful, and Lis found it pretty handy to use.
However, after achieving the Legendary level, the shortcomings of this Blue Flame became apparent.
The corrosive effect of the Blue Flame didnât weaken as Lisâs strength increased, and it remained very useful, but the time it took to take effect was a bit long.
In Legendary battles, a small gap might lead to eventual defeat.
This was the experience Lis gathered from a bout with Uncle Joyce.
In other words, when attacking groups or fixed targets, Blue Flame could still be effective, but in one-on-one combat, Lis needed to find another arcane defense-breaking spell as a trump card.
At this point, the Power of Destruction owned by Black Dragon Mirapoleias was crucial for Lis.
The reason the Power of Destruction didnât affect Lis was that the Black Dragon was too weak, even with the Power of Destruction, he couldnât carry it.
But if Lis could master it, the effect would be considerable.
Now, the most important question was how Lis could grasp this Power of Destruction.
The Black Dragon mastered at most the seed of the Destruction Domain, and it wasnât realistic for Lis to directly obtain the Destruction Domain from the Black Dragon.
The only thing left was...
"...Itâs possible."
After hesitating for a long time, the Black Dragon reluctantly answered.
"Oh?"
"What method?"
Lis looked at the Black Dragon, his right hand becoming softer as he stroked the Dragonâs long neck scales.
The Black Dragon felt that if he didnât speak the truth, he would have his neck broken in the next moment, and quickly said:
"Once, when I got injured, I found that as long as I controlled the Power of Destruction to enter my blood, it could maintain itself for a long time even when outside my body."
"That should be what youâre talking about."
"Is that so?"
Lis was a bit surprised, as he hadnât discovered this during previous examinations of the Dragon Blood. Could the existence of the Power of Destruction be somewhat subjective?
"Try it."
Lis unlocked the Magic Power confinement on the Black Dragonâs right claw and instructed him.
"Alright..."
Knowing he couldnât escape this ordeal, the Black Dragon simply closed his eyes, and with his right claw, he made an opening on his chest.
A fist-sized drop of crimson blood flowed out, unlike Lisâs previous collections; this time, the Dragon Blood was entwined with a jet-black glow, floating in mid-air.
Lis received this drop of blood, truly sensing the Power of Destruction within, and unlike before, it did not dissipate quickly, his eyes sparkled.
Good stuff!
Lis pointed to the dozen or so long-necked bottles beside him that contained most of a bottle of Dragon Blood and told the Black Dragon:
"Will these Dragon Blood samples still be usable, fill them with the Power of Destruction for me."
The Black Dragon cautiously glanced at Lis and murmured quietly:
"Alright..."
