Outside North Wind Fortress, the Iron Dragon Wing Palace.

Keosius lay quietly on the ground, his massive dragon body rising and falling with his breath, and the sulfurous fumes filled the palace.

The Red Dragon is now nearly forty meters long from head to tail, and even the exceptionally spacious palace is still a bit cramped for him.

"Call"

"Finally, we're about to advance! It's a moment of triumph!"

Keosius yawned, exhaling a puff of Sulfur Scent white smoke, and then slowly got up, supporting himself on his strong Limbs and tail.

Red Dragon stared intently at the panel in front of him, a hint of joy shining through his pale golden pupils.

[You gained 200xp][You gained 100xp][You gained 900xp] Since the opening of the Experience Shop and the Undead Creature Research Institute, Keosius's experience has increased exceptionally rapidly, with hundreds of thousands of players within the Empire continuously contributing experience to him.

Although each amount was small for him, the sheer volume and frequency of these transactions made it all worthwhile.

In addition, he devoured many Fire Giant in the Fire Elemental Plane, killed two Emil, and even personally killed a Pasha.

In just a few months, even with the Progenitor Dragon template, which is considered an "experience black hole," Keosius has accumulated enough experience for the next upgrade and is about to undergo another enhancement.

[You gain 900 XP][Your total Class Level increases to 19][Your current class is - True Dragon Sorcerer 15/ Bloodscale Berserker 3] Keosius made his choice without hesitation. Even without considering the curse, True Dragon Sorcerer have a precious opportunity to improve their attributes at level 16.

[You choose to upgrade [True Dragon Sorcerer] to level 16][Due to the innate spellcasting ability of dragons, your current Caster Level is: 21][When you reach level 16 in this class, you gain 2 legendary attribute points (which can increase attributes by more than 20), and can be used to increase any attribute value of your choice.] Suddenly, Keosius's breathing became a little rapid.

In fact, he also received several new achievements in the process of defeating the Fire Giant, such as [Fire Giant Devourer] and [Fearless].

But those few [Red Bronze] level achievements are insignificant to him now, not even enough to make up a complete attribute point.

Given Keosius's current level of development, it would be extremely difficult for him to advance even a little, and he might even need to reach the level of a demigod.

And now, he can finally improve again.

[You choose to increase: Charisma][Charisma: 33→35] The Caster Level and ability to influence external output are increased simultaneously, and the effect is far beyond his imagination.

The surrounding Weave seemed to tremble, resonate, and cheer for the birth of this new high-level controller.

In that instant, Keosius seemed to see the Sea of Burn outside the crystal wall, and the Material Plane that looked like bubbles floating on the sea surface. He felt a magical source that was far greater than the Weave.

"The Primordial."

"This universe is far more vast than I imagined; this is yet another new level."

Even in his previous life, no player had ever achieved such terrifying single-target spellcasting attributes or reached such a high Caster Level —but Keosius did it.

However, the greedy dragon quickly snapped out of its distant and grand reverie, staring intently at the panel with its pale golden eyes, praying for the high-level spells that were about to appear.

The source of magic? The mysteries of the universe? He wasn't some kind of magician exploring mysteries, just a magical barbarian. What were these ethereal things compared to the spells he had in hand?

[You have acquired the 9th Ring Dragon Reaving Dragon Spell - Dragon Reaving]

9th Ring School of Abjuration Spell [Mages always mock Sorcerer for Dispel Magic, unaware that tens of thousands of years ago, dragons created this spell to kill annoying Titan priests.]

This spell is similar to Greater Dispel Magic; the caster can transfer the effect of a dispelled or countered spell onto themselves, as if they themselves had cast it. ["Dispel Magic?"]

"What a great start! They actually drew such a high-level School of Abjuration spell."

For dragons that have no shortage of energy output, most School of Evocation spells are useless, and necromancy spells are only useful against special dragons such as Shadow Dragon.

The roles of the Protection, Spells, Transmutation, and Illusion schools are far more significant.

In high-level, single-target spell battles, large-scale spell clashes between the two sides are rare. For example, a Tsunami spell versus Meteor Burst is extremely inefficient.

To use a common joke from a past life, the two sides often engage in a cycle of "I nullify your spell, I dispel your nullification, I counter your dispel," which can be described as the ultimate nesting doll.

Keosius was particularly pleased with this [Dragon Reaving].

"And the second one?"

You have acquired the 7th Ring Dragon Spell - Dragon's Simulacrum.

Dragon's Dragon's Simulacrum

7th Ring Illusion Spell [Consumes a certain amount of materials and experience to create a copy of a creature. This copy possesses half the overall strength of the original, has identical abilities, is absolutely obedient to you, and can share your senses and memories.] "Pseudo-Shape!"

Keosius's eyes widened instantly, his expression filled with joy.

If the God of Fate truly exists, and is not within this Crystal Sphere, he has probably been personally favored today.

The Mimicry spell is also a highly versatile spell.

It can create a copy of the original with half the original's strength and the same abilities, and can share consciousness.

He finally doesn't have to do everything himself anymore!

—Although this Red Dragon wasn't particularly diligent about going there, he rarely bothered with things unless his followers couldn't handle them.

A familiar feeling washed over him, and a vast amount of magical knowledge flooded his mind.

For Keosius now, even learning Ninth Circle Spell would be a matter of just a few breaths.

Keosius first created a fiery ball and placed it in front of him, then extended his claws, making them shimmer with magical light, and cast the new Ninth Circle Spell.

The Dragon Reaving

"Whoosh—"

An invisible force appeared on the flaming orb, causing it to dim and then vanish completely.

The magic orb reappeared in the Red Dragon's palm.

"Is this what plunder is?"

"Then let's try mimicry."

Keosius swung his claws, tearing through space, and retrieved a large amount of Gold Coin and elemental ores from his treasury. He then easily cast a spell.

[Dragon Shadow Simulacrum]

A glimmer of light shone, and instantly, a figure identical to himself appeared behind Keosius —except that the figure was much more ethereal, as fleeting as a mirage.

Immediately afterwards, Keosius felt his power being "transferred" or more precisely, "copied" into this phantom.

"It's a wonderful feeling to have your own copy."

The Red Dragon watched the figure gradually solidify, and at the same time, he was observing his own body through the perspective of that figure.

It is clearly a single consciousness, yet it can be shared between two bodies, and even create duplicates—those Dragon Sorcerer ancestors can be considered the originators of the Church of the Machine God's concept of "consciousness uploading."

Keosius withdrew that wisp of thought, and the simulacrum returned to its "robot" form, performing no actions other than obeying commands.

He did not complete the simulation technique; he only infused it with one-tenth of his own power, which would dissipate completely in a few months.

This is just an experiment.

"But we can't waste this mimicry, so let's send it to the Anstica Mountains to find the demon."

The Red Dragon simulacrum received the order, left the palace, flapped its wings vigorously, and flew south towards the Anstica Mountains.

—This greedy Red Dragon is even oppressing its own shadow.
