As soon as he thought of it, he acted.
Liszt immediately rode Rio in careful circles around Dodo Island Volcano's crater, scouting the flow patterns of volcanic magic at every point. Then he located the nodes, guiding Rio to release fire dragon super-magic and merge it with the volcanic magic, initiating resonance.
This was a vast undertaking.
Several times, Liszt guided the resonance, only for it to end in failure. But through those failures, he gradually summed up the pattern and discovered that triggering a volcanic eruption did not necessarily require such precise resonance. He only needed the flow of fire dragon super-magic to stir the volcanic magic into tidal fluctuations.
Once the peak of those fluctuations exceeded a certain limit, the magma inside the volcano, which had not yet fully cooled, could boil anew along with the magical tide.
However, doing this would consume a great deal of Rio's fire dragon super-magic. It was the nest egg he had painstakingly accumulated, and it concerned his growth.
"Roar!"
He was a little reluctant.
"Don't be stingy, Rio. Triggering a volcanic eruption will be greatly beneficial to your growth. As a fire dragon, if you can't even trigger a volcanic eruption, wouldn't that make you a complete failure as a dragon?"
"Roar!"
Rio agreed to Liszt's plan. He also yearned to grow, but as a young dragon, if he did not take shortcuts, he might need hundreds of years. Meeting Liszt might have been a tremendous misfortune in terms of freedom, but in terms of growth, it was an immense stroke of luck.
With Liszt's Smoke missions to assist him, casually tugging at the threads of fate could help Rio mature ahead of time.
Just like how he was now guiding a volcanic eruption.
Rio poured in his fire dragon super-magic
