"Today, I'm going to spend some serious time studying spells.
I won't be resting. You two go ahead."
Xiluo's eyes flickered slightly. After replying, he turned and went back.
He returned to the clearing.
Little White Dragon Allen gazed at Xiluo, his face full of excitement and satisfaction, his whole body trembling slightly.
Finally!
Xiluo finally didn't leave me!
He didn't go stay with the mortal and that elf.
Today, it's just me and Xiluo here!
Utterly content, he said nothing, merely gazing at Xiluo's imposing, towering draconic silhouette.
Xiluo paid little attention to him.
His eyes soon lost focus as he sank into thought:
Illusions... they really are interesting.
Is this the combined effect of Spell Genius and Illusion Mastery?
My talent for illusions seems to have been enhanced to a truly terrifying degree.
I skipped straight past the initial stages.
And reached the point where I can implant hallucinations directly into the target's mind.
Still, I've only just crossed the threshold.
It's extremely effective against the weak, but against the strong, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
If I want my illusions to become stronger and more elusive,
I still have a long way to go.
Everything the lady had just seen and heard had merely been an illusion Xiluo created for her.
He had entered the castle and been discovered by Andre.
But at that very instant,
Xiluo had returned to the entrance and cast an illusion on everyone inside again.
That was how the current scene had come about.
While demonstrating astonishing talent in illusions, he had also discovered just how vast and profound the field was.
Avoiding paying his taxes was utter nonsense.
How could a mighty dragon like Xiluo possibly fear that?
Now, he only wanted to keep studying, to understand more and more.
