Promotion and Terrifying Illusion

Once he had adapted and felt the even more surging power within his body, Keosius looked at the panel again, which was now filled with countless pieces of information about gaining experience.

[You killed [White Lion Knight - Tarick], gained 2100 XP][You killed [North Wind Eagle Guard Commander - Narellan], gained 1800 XP][You killed [North Wind Eagle Guard Commander - Atla], gained 1800 XP][You killed [Silver Hand - Ter], gained 1200 XP][You killed [Earl Robert], gained 1200 XP]...

[You killed a Supply Troop, gaining 0.5 XP][You killed a Supply Troop, gaining 0.5 XP][You killed a Peasant Auxiliary Troop, gaining 0.25 XP]...

Tens of thousands of data entries were refreshed.

At the very front were the high-ranking generals, Paladin, and spellcasters of the allied forces, followed by various elite troops, and then countless ordinary soldiers and laborers.

Because of Keosius's high level of life, the experience provided to him by those weaker creatures was negligible, but it did accumulate gradually, like grains of sand forming a tower.

"Wow—so many?"

Keosius was somewhat surprised.

Because the data in front of him far exceeded his expectations.

In the final panel statistics, Keosius gained a whopping 63,000 experience points. Even though the Red Dragon template made leveling up extremely difficult, this massive amount of experience was enough for him to level up four levels in one go.

However, Keosius did not intend to do so.

It is very risky to rashly accept forces that are beyond our control.

Even the magical abilities he had acquired after his previous slumber had only just been digested and were only in the initial stages of mastery.

[Choose to upgrade your [True Dragon Sorcerer] level][Your [True Dragon Sorcerer] level has increased to 8][You gain the additional Dragon Feat: [Hard Landing]] [Hard Landing]

Prerequisite: Circling, Flipping. If the damage or spell damage received is enough to prevent it from flying, an experienced dragon can resort to desperate measures to preserve its dignity. Dragons with this feat can find the most reasonable way to avoid damage in any fall.

Keosius nodded slightly; at least this specialty could be of some use in combat.

[You have gained a special attribute point, which can be used to increase your own attribute by 1 point (20 or more)] [Choose to increase your charm to 25] The familiar feeling once again enveloped his body, soul, and spirit.

His influence on reality has deepened further. At this moment, he is like the master of the world, able to manipulate the Weave with every move he makes.

It is said that once spellcasting attributes such as Charisma and Intelligence reach thirty, one can reach the Source Sea with one's own will and achieve a new spellcasting realm that far surpasses the mortal realm, but no player in the previous life has ever reached this level.

Keosius took a deep breath, feeling his connection to the world, while silently praying that he would obtain useful magic.

However, he did not invoke any deity.

[Gained the 5th level Dragon Spell [Dragon's Breath]] [Dragon's Breath]

5th Ring Spell

Golden rays of light emanate from the ground below you, bathing you in a healing pillar of light swirling with yellow particles. This spell transforms arcane energy into pure dragon life energy and channels it to heal the damage to your body.

Keosius immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He acquired powerful healing spells, which could save his life in life-or-death situations when facing formidable enemies.

But the spell that followed made his expression serious.

[Gained the 6th Ring Dragon Spell [Tiamat's Terrifying Illusion]] [Tiamat's Terrifying Illusion]

6th Ring Illusion Spell

When a target creature sees an illusion of the Dragon Queen Tiamat, unless it has an incredibly strong will, it will believe that the illusion is real and that it will soon become the target of her Multiple Breath attacks.

Creatures who believe in this illusion will see fire, ice, acid, lightning, and poison gas pouring towards them from Tiamat's mouth, and must possess exceptionally strong willpower, or they will be terrified to death by the sight. The illusion is so terrifying that even those with strong willpower will suffer a severe mental blow.

"Tiamat's illusion..."

"Is it a coincidence? Or was it deliberately done by the Five-Colored Dragon Queen?"

Keosius fell into deep thought, his expression gradually becoming fixed.

Although the Anzeta Great Wasteland is just a remote corner of Erezege and has an insignificant position in the Prime Material Plane.

But as the Red Dragon known as the Dragon Queen Queen's favorite, Keosius 'Keosius performance may have really caught the attention of that evil dragon queen. After all, not long after he entered Erezege, that terrifying vision had already appeared in his mind.

Now that he controls Storm Highlands and is about to take over the entire Lakman Duchy, he has barely reached the bottom line of being the Dragon Queen's lackey.

"This spell is indeed powerful."

"But it's best not to use it rashly unless absolutely necessary."

He didn't believe that a real god would be unaware when he summoned a genuine illusion of a deity; that was pure nonsense.

Keosius did not want to make contact with the Dragon Queen too early while his strength was still weak, as that would only make him a complete pawn.

Tiamat.

"I'd rather be the 'rebellious child' who takes my place than a chess piece."

Keosius thought to himself.

Of course, he would only think such blasphemous words in his heart; he would never say them aloud.

The spellcasting method for "Tiamat's Terrifying Illusion" appeared in Keosius's mind. The Five-Colored Dragon Queen in those images were ferocious and terrifying, as if they were always watching everything, making him feel somewhat uneasy. So Keosius tried to build a fortress in his memory to seal it away and not use it for the time being.

If it weren't for the irresistible nature of it, he would even rather lose the Sixth-Circle Spell.

Even after sealing it away, Keosius still felt uneasy and unable to rest peacefully.

"Lang Pu."

The Red Dragon calls upon the magic mirror in the cave.

As he called out, Lang Pu's ugly face appeared on the mirror, his expression humble and respectful.

Since that terrible natural disaster, he has gained a more direct understanding of the power controlled by the Red Dragon, and thus has become even more awe-inspiring.

"Great master, what are your orders?"

Keosius commanded, "Find a spacious cave within the Storm Highlands, place a shrine to Her Majesty Tiamat inside, and regularly send a few Gold Coin in as a sign of respect."

He hesitated for a moment before specifically reminding him:

"Also, this place must be far away from Dragon Valley."

Lang Pu readily accepted the order and respectfully replied, "Yes, Master."

The Dragon Vein Ogre Mage severed the Magic Image and couldn't help but sigh, "My master is truly generous and devout, offering precious Gold Coin to Her Dragon Queen Your Majesty. No wonder he possesses such great power."

However, Keosius, considering the dragons' general greed, exchanged the Gold Coin for less conspicuous bronze coins, but that's another story—it certainly wasn't because of his stinginess.
