Even through the video, that roar still makes people want to cover their ears.
Dragon's Roar.
The sound of fear that appeals to the instincts of all living beings.
But she remained unmoved.
"pretty."
Even when facing a dragon, her voice was still filled with respect for her opponent.
However, she also didn't miss a crucial fact—
The dragon's speed slowed down slightly.
"Come on, are you prepared for this to end?"
She whispered, a smile playing on her lips.
Luvia hugged the dragon subspecies tightly from behind, her arms encircling its enormous body.
Gems shimmered on her back and the soles of her feet.
A radiance, like the wings of an angel, danced with her.
In the instant she turned to avoid the dragon's sight, the gem had already quietly laid down a spell.
boom!
A tremendous amount of magical power erupted forth.
It is said that for modern magicians, flying through the air without the aid of a broom is an extremely difficult feat.
However, "extremely difficult" is not another name for "impossible".
If we set aside the framework of pure flight magic, we can also derive a new interpretation of "flying in the air".
—Just like that seal-designated magician known for "Orange Travel".
Despite being attributed to its infamous inventor, the technique is still hailed by some as one of the greatest magic achievements of recent years.
And at this moment, the new magic of flight is proven.
"Ansaugen. Verdichten. Verbrennen. Ausdehnen. Ausstossen. (Inhalation, compression, combustion, expansion, exhaust.)"
Luvia's murmurs were not incantations.
Rather, it is the principle itself embodied in the jewels that shine behind and at the soles of her feet.
What she was describing was not magic, but the operating logic of a jet engine.
—Inhale. Take in the surrounding air.
—Compression. Combining magic to concentrate power.
— Combustion. A burst of flame ignites the compressed airflow.
—Expansion. Releasing explosive energy and expanding the impact.
—Exhaust. Continuously releasing the gases and magic power from combustion to propel the body.
Such a simple theory, such an ingenious combination.
Even though this skill is as insane as a juggling act involving burning gunpowder, even though the slightest misstep could result in total destruction, she still—
"Zweite Lichtzündung. (Secondary ignition.)"
The gems, their magic depleted, peeled away, turning into shards of light and dissipating.
The new gems seamlessly followed, the scorching magic circuits were reignited, and the rotation was driven.
Is it difficult for modern magicians to fly for extended periods of time?
It only requires burning out the magic power in a short time.
Suddenly, flames erupted and magic surged.
Luvia used all her strength to bind the dragon, forcing it to accelerate as well.
accelerate.
Using the dragon's charge, she applied thrust in the opposite direction, with speed and airflow overlapping and building up layer by layer.
Speed up again.
Slowly, slowly—
The dragon, tightly bound by Luvia, was gradually shifting its flight angle towards the higher reaches of the sky.
"I see, so that's the trick."
Bai Ruolong smiled bitterly.
"...Hello...Hello."
Isilid could only manage to utter these few words.
incredible.
Luvia's jet propulsion technique actually possesses a strength exceeding that of a dragon's wings.
Even subspecies of dragons cannot control their own flight trajectory.
Luvia and the dragon she clung to were forcibly pulled off their original trajectory and accelerated their ascent toward the dome.
"Letzte Lichtzündung! (The Last Beacon!)"
The third stage is ignition.
It is like the continuous thrust of a multi-stage rocket.
The explosive burst of magical energy pushed Luvia and the dragon's spiral trajectory to its limit.
Climb, climb, and climb some more—
Just as she was about to touch the sky, Luvia suddenly spun halfway around and flipped over.
"Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, could this be..."
Van Fem exclaimed in amazement.
Even the highest-ranking Death Apostles would doubt the sight they were seeing.
"Like a spectacular stage magic show! What do you think, Matou?"
“Really wonderful.”
Matou Ike answered slowly, his gaze fixed on the scene in the image.
—That was a moment that shocked the audience.
Luvia reversed at the apex, her magic surging to a critical value.
She embraced the dragon, her stance a complete lock on her prey.
"Use this trick to fall!"
He plummeted from the extreme height in one breath.
Speed breaks the sound barrier, gale-force winds tear through the air like blades.
Different physiques, different trajectories, but at this moment, this strike has undoubtedly taken shape.
—This was a real “crash.”
Chapter 502 Win alone
The dragon's head spun at an astonishing speed, then crashed into the arena floor with a thunderous roar.
Even just watching it on video is enough to send shivers down your spine.
The impact pierced through the dragon subspecies' head and deep into its body, shattering its hard scales at the point of impact, sending dust and sparks flying.
"3."
Luvia murmured softly, still in her upside-down position, but even as she counted down, her voice remained elegant and composed.
"2."
Using the dragon's head as a fulcrum, she slightly adjusted her body—a standard bridge move in wrestling.
Even amidst the aftershocks of a high-altitude crash, she maintained precise balance, preserving a beauty akin to a theatrical performance.
"1."
She slowly loosened her hand.
As she stood up, the unrestrained dragon crashed to the ground.
Crackle, crackle—
Something shattered and scattered across the arena floor.
Even though they appear small and blurry in the image, the components such as the springs and gears are still visible.
—This dragon is most likely some kind of magical puppet creation.
Luvia chuckled and reached out to brush her blonde hair.
"Wrestling should be this spectacular, of course."
She turned around, her back to the arena.
Then--
"From now on, the second battle will determine the winner."
The dealer's voice echoed through the arena, announcing the end of this breathtaking duel.
.........
"From now on, the second battle will determine the winner."
The arena's announcements echoed in the air, and the lingering echoes of the curtain falling still resonated in everyone's ears.
However, the audience around the round table did not react for a moment.
