Chapter 85: Chapter 37: Red Dragon’s Experiment (Part 2)

With sufficient knowledge as a reference, the sub-brain, after calculating and analyzing, made slight adjustments to some of the spell models of these tricks. From Karon’s experimental results, the effects unexpectedly satisfied the Dragon.

Furthermore, through these spell tests, Karon concluded that the magic power and spiritual power consumed by these tricks placed no burden on him, and he could almost continuously cast these low-level tricks.

As long as his magic power could sustain the consumption of these tricks, although the consumption of these tricks on magic power was far behind the pace at which the Giant Dragon itself absorbs magic power.

However, these tricks were not very useful for the current Giant Dragon, except that the Mage’s Hand intrigued the Dragon.

But then Karon was struck by a doubt. When he cast magic tricks using the magic knowledge taught by Lapus, he did not feel he had touched the legendary Magic Net.

It’s important to know that although the spell Karon just cast was a low-level trick, unlike the dragon’s innate spellcasting, which is more akin to a warlock’s spellcasting, not touching the Magic Net is quite normal.

However, no matter how low-level the spell is, it requires touching Native Magic. In some of Karon’s previous life’s understandings, touching Native Magic requires locking onto it through the Magic Net.

Karon, utilizing his sub-brain to summon memories embedded in his brain, recalled the concept of the Magic Net.

In worlds within the Multi-Cosmos, they are almost all places filled with magic, where every stone, every stream, every living thing, and even the air itself contains undeveloped potential energy.

This potential energy is the raw material of creation, belonging to Native Magic.

Mere mortals cannot directly utilize this energy but can use a structure of weaving magic energy as a bridge to connect the caster’s consciousness with the raw material of Native Magic. This bridge is called the Magic Net by casters.

Without the Magic Net, Native Magic would be difficult for the caster’s consciousness to lock onto, resulting in an inability to touch it.

But during Karon’s process of casting magic, he did not sense this bridge, which acts as an intermediary for casters. It seems he can directly touch that native magic power.

Karon wondered if it was because the spell he cast was too low-level that he didn’t clearly sense the existence of the Magic Net. Thus, with magic power surging in his hands, he planned to cast a slightly more advanced spell.

Under Karon’s will, a Blazing Magic Ball gathered magic power, emitting rolling heat and taking shape between his claws. It was then thrown by Karon and, guided by his will, crashed into a boulder.

Boom, the fireball whirled and struck the rock, immediately exploding, shattering the newly formed, fragile rock into pieces.

This was a Blazing Magic Ball, a formal spell, no longer a low-level trick.

Yet he still did not sense the presence of the Magic Net. Karon raised his paw, scratching his chin in thought, unsure if the magic knowledge taught by Mage Lapus was flawed, or if there was something wrong with himself.

The magic knowledge taught by Mage Lapus seemed overly comprehensive, which also raised suspicions about the mage.

But considering that his body was already mixed with abundant heart energy, he found it difficult to conclude. But since this concerned his secret, he couldn’t possibly consult the mage.

Perhaps it is this world that has problems, Karon thought, unconsciously scratching sparks from his hard scales with his sharp claws.

But this issue was quickly thrown to the back of Karon’s mind. Although he eagerly engaged with this magical knowledge, his initial goal was merely to enhance his strength.

And after conversing with Mage Lapus, his attitude toward magic knowledge is now to observe a true corner of the world from a mage’s perspective and gain more knowledge about the real world.

The paths of dragons and mages differ. Although they generally align in the grand direction, this doesn’t mean Karon will become a Giant Dragon Mage.

Compared to magic, dragons prefer using their bodies and claws to destroy enemies, with their innate dragon breath being more potent than much magic.

Karon, too, is influenced by this belief, especially since he is a Red Dragon who cherishes physical might.

However, unlike other dragons of his race, Karon believes that the power of magic is also a highly effective and sufficiently formidable means.

Whether in destroying enemies or in other aspects, he is therefore also willing to accept magic knowledge. Although the process of learning magic can be quite tedious, Karon still takes pleasure in it.

“But, in what way can I learn more about the true side of the world?” Karon recalled the mage’s words. The more one understands the true side of the world, the more comprehensively one constructs a unique understanding of the world, making one stronger on future paths.

Memories echoed in Karon’s heart, fiery flames flickering in his eyes, as he opened his sense of the limits.

In his vertical pupils, like red torrents of lava surging, the surrounding world transformed into another scene.

The flow of elements was clearly visible to him: yellow earth, flowing green wind, blue water patterns, red flames, and green life, all kinds of pure yet mixed elements.

Within the range of his triggered domain of extreme awareness, the traces of various elements intertwining and flowing appeared like patterns in his palm.
