A month later, at the Dragon of the Magic Array Guild, Elefseria looked at George and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:
"You are truly a genius at learning True Magic. Even I spent three years learning Dragon Slayer Magic back then, but you only took a month."
It seems your race is quite extraordinary!
George was True Magic cat he had never seen before. He wasn't human and probably possessed extraordinary True Magic talent, which was why he could learn the theoretical knowledge of Dragon Slayer Magic so quickly.
"Probably."
George nodded noncommittally.
His ability to learn the theoretical knowledge of Dragon Slayer Magic in a month has absolutely nothing to do with his physical True Magic talent.
Just look at the Happy; the True Magic Cat race probably doesn't have any special True Magic talents, they're just good at Flight Magic.
The main reason he was able to learn it so quickly was that he had focused all his Body Division's minds on studying the theory of Dragon Slayer Magic over the past month.
"Next, I will take you to the Great Labyrinth of the Earth God Dragon to absorb the Dragon Power of the Earth God Dragon as a catalyst. Then you can use the Dragon Power of the Earth God Dragon to become Earth Dragon Slayer Mage and enhance your True Magic power by eating soil."
Elefseria, along with George, activated a teleportation True Magic, teleporting several times in succession to the entrance of a large underground labyrinth.
Whether it's self-taught, personally taught by a dragon, or inlaid with Dragon Crystal, the essence is that one needs the Dragon Power as a catalyst to become Dragon Slayer Mage.
Personal guidance from a dragon means the Dragon Power into a person's body. Using Dragon Crystal means absorbing the Dragon Crystal Dragon Power within it. Self-study involves using Dragon Slayer Magic to absorb a small portion of a Dragon Power.
Therefore, the prerequisite is that there must be a dragon; it is impossible to obtain the Dragon Power out of thin air.
He was able to become Dragon Slayer Mage of the Law Dragon because he secretly absorbed some of the Law Dragon's Dragon Power back then. The information about the Acnologia and the Five God Dragons also came from that Law Dragon.
The reason George was allowed to stay in the castle to learn some Dragon Slayer Magic was because he had sealed away the Earth God Dragon. If George could really learn the theoretical knowledge, he could absorb the Dragon Power of the Earth God Dragon.
"You can just absorb the Dragon Power at the entrance."
After delivering George, Elefseria teleported back to the Dragon of the Magic Array Guild.
However, George did not follow Elefseria's instructions to immediately sit down and absorb the Dragon Power of the Earth God Dragon to complete the final step of becoming Dragon Slayer Mage.
Through this month of spending time with Elefseria, he has gained a more detailed understanding of the Dragon Clan and Dragon Slayer Magic.
Of the dragons that originally fled from the Eastern Continent to the Northern Continent, six were the most powerful: the Gold God Dragon, the Wood God Dragon, the Water God Dragon, the Fire God Dragon, the Earth God Dragon, and the Moon God Dragon.
The Earth God Dragon was the weakest of the six Shenron, so it was not his primary target.
Earth True Magic doesn't offer him any special advantage; simply eating a mouthful of dirt during battle to boost his Dragon Slayer Magic feels rather cheap.
His first choice was actually the power of the Fire God Dragon and the Wood God Dragon, which meant transforming into Fire Dragon Slayer Mage or a Wood Dragon Slayer Mage.
The Dragon Crystal incorporated into Middle-earth and the Harry Potter world are both fire-attribute. If this world also develops towards Fire Dragon Slayer Mage, then the power of his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic will inevitably be greatly enhanced.
If water is chosen, the fusion will likely fail due to the different properties.
As for the gold one, the bonus effect is uncertain, and the Gold God Dragon is too mysterious. Even Elefseria doesn't know its name, so even if he uses Tracking Charm, he can't find it.
Although the Moon God Dragon knew the name, he didn't know what attribute it was, and he had tried to track it with Tracking Charm, but he couldn't.
He figured it was either already dead, sealed away, had anti-tracking properties, or simply not in the same space—there were many possibilities, so he gave up.
If he chooses wood, according to his understanding, wood can start a fire, which would also greatly enhance fire True Magic.
It should be able to fuse with the fire dragons of the other two worlds, allowing it to unleash not only powerful Fire Dragon Slayer Magic but also wood Dragon Slayer Magic.
Furthermore, wood symbolizes life, so becoming Wood Dragon Slayer Mage should greatly enhance one's vitality.
With a significant increase in vitality, there's no need to worry about backlash from using Fairy Law. If you really overuse them, just eat a few thousand-year-old trees, and you'll probably recover quickly.
Meanwhile, he is learning Life Magic from the Elf in Middle-earth. If he had the physique of Wood Dragon Slayer Mage, he should be able to speed up his learning process.
Of course, whether it will turn out as he expected remains to be seen and will need to be verified later.
The real challenge now is that even if it's not about killing the Five God Dragons, but simply sneaking up to their bodies to absorb some of their Dragon Power, it probably won't be that easy.
So his idea was to give it a try first. If it worked, great; if not, he still had the sealed Earth God Dragon as a backup.
At worst, I can come back and honestly absorb the Dragon Power of the Earth God Dragon. So what if I eat dirt? It won't be too bad.
When I become stronger in the future, I might try to combine and absorb various Dragon Power. Perhaps I can even evolve into one with the same attributes as the Acnologia, capable of devouring all True Magic and converting it into True Magic power to enhance myself.
According to Elefseria, the Acnologia is so powerful because it can ignore all True Magic.
He finally understood why Gildarts' powerful Crush Magic hadn't caused any damage to the Acnologia.
Because the Crush Magic was absorbed when it touched the Acnologia, what hit the Acnologia was just a pure Riot Games.
If you want to defeat the Acnologia, you can only rely on physical attacks.
He also learned some more precise information about Dragon Crystal.
While it's true that embedding Dragon Crystal allows one to become Dragon Slayer Mage directly without learning advanced Dragon Slayer Magic, relying solely on the Dragon Power of the Dragon Crystal, the Dragon Crystal also suppresses the Dragon Seed. Even if the Dragon Power is developed to its limit, one will not Dragon Transformation.
In other words, theoretically only he, Natsu, Gajeel might Dragonization into powerful dragons in the future; Laxus would at most be a humanoid dragon.
Therefore, if he does not intend to become a dragon through Dragonization, but only uses Animagus Transformation, he can prevent Dragonization by embedding a dragon Crystal in his body before fully Dragon Transformation.
However, Dragon Slayer Mage like Laxus can no longer use Dragon Slayer Magic once they remove the Dragon Crystal.
However, he, Natsu, Gajeel do not have this kind of weakness.
"Direction Manifestation - Igneel!"
Using Tracking Charm to follow the trail of the Fire God Dragon, George flapped his wings and flew off along the golden arrow.
