Dragon of Catastrophe

Land’s strength was so formidable that Yakus’s talents couldn’t keep up with his stringent demands for magic.

This nearly made him forget the other, leaving the other to stay in the Life Box all along.

This time, he finally thought of the Witch Demon.

Black air currents floated around.

Gradually taking on the appearance of Yakus in front of him.

This guy appeared with a perplexed look, took a while to come to his senses, and then said with a wry smile:

"Lord Land, have you finally remembered me?"

"Ah... I was actually deep in slumber before, only recently waking up."

"I see."

Yakus nodded in understanding, without a trace of curiosity.

"So this time, Lord Land, what do you want from me?"

"To research a Magic Crystal capable of storing nearly limitless magic power."

"I understand, leave it to me. I will do my utmost to complete your task." Yakus bowed slightly.

"You might work faster if you collaborate with Sindri.

Also, those Dragon People from Dorlan Star, I recall there’s one named Glasses among them.

He is also quite talented.

Pick some who might assist you from among them."

After Yakus glanced at the Rainbow Dragon and nodded, he approached the Dragon People, soon selecting a few individuals, and under the guidance of the Rainbow Dragon, left the place.

Land became idle once more.

Every day was spent either feeding or resting.

Occasionally, he would watch the Xiao Female Dragon drill the Dragon People.

Time passed by second by second.

Due to Land’s power, the underground base once again sprouted many derivatives of the Life Magnet Field.

Those mushrooms.

They grew unusually fast and unusually large.

In just over half a month.

Some had grown to one or two meters tall.

Among them, Land even sensed a rich life aura.

Every day, he began to stare at these Dragon Head Mushrooms, carefully observing their changes.

The Dragon Head Mushrooms soon sprouted uneven, scale armor-like imprints.

The soil on the ground kept cracking.

Another ten days passed.

One of them, its body grew to about five meters long, its entire scale armor almost like Dragon Scales, a pair of previously dull eyes glowed with a hint of intelligence.

At this moment.

Land sensed the light of wisdom within it.

It opened its mouth.

Uttering a cooing sound.

This sudden sound.

Attracted the attention of not only Land but also all the practicing Dragons and Dragon People.

"Coo coo coo!"

The newly born creature quickly ran to Land’s side, hugging him tightly, babbling incessantly.

Land could understand what they were saying, just like those Fiery Sun Elves.

At this moment, Land had an epiphany.

The Fiery Sun Elves indeed were life forms born through the Life Magnet Field.

So were the creatures birthed from these Dragon Head Mushrooms.

The different life forms born varied just because of their different regions.

And the disparity in their strength was also huge.

Land could clearly feel the creatures transformed from these Dragon Head Mushrooms.

Their internal energy, roughly around level 15.

He extended a claw, lightly poked the body of the Dragon Head Mushroom creature.

Finding their scale armor far less hard than Dragon Scales, even compared to the Dragon People it was lacking.

At best, it was just as hard as tree bark.

"Has it become a spirit? An ordinary plant, birthed with intelligence? What on earth is going on?"

One Dragon Person was genuinely surprised.

"Oh! Land! How did you do it? They’ve come to life! You’ve created a new race!

Are you turning into a Dragon God? Are you going to create a new Dragon Race like that old Tiamat?"

All the Female Dragons exclaimed.

Their expressions were filled with surprise and delight.

"Land! If you can create a race, why not make me more powerful, I feel like I can be even stronger."

The Xiao Female Dragon also shouted.

The anomaly here, unknowingly, had attracted the Rainbow Dragon over.

When she appeared, she too stared dumbfounded at the Dragon transformed from the Dragon Head Mushroom.

In shock:

"Creation of life... an energy level of about 15, that’s not something ordinary gods can achieve. Wait a minute.

Is this little thing born similarly to those Fiery Sun Elements?"

The Rainbow Dragon seemed to recall something and couldn’t help but ask.

"That’s right."

Land nodded lightly in response.

"An impressive ability... but 15 levels, it’s still useless to us."

She commented.

"What about the thing I asked you to create?"

"The progress is quite okay, but I’ve been hesitating about the substitute materials—should I venture into the cosmic sky to find and try them, or should I rob the Bailgang Empire..."

"What are your requirements for the materials?"

"Solid, with strong enchantment abilities, anti-magic power, a perfect magic power storage capability, and the ability to allow me to develop a small world within.

Such material is too rare." The Rainbow Dragon lamented.

"Solid, with strong enchantment abilities, and anti-magic power, how about my scales?" Land suddenly asked.

"Your scales?"

The Rainbow Dragon was taken aback, then stared intently at Land’s scales, revealing a contemplative expression.

"Maybe, it can be tried.

Give me your scales! Quick!"

The Rainbow Dragon appeared somewhat anxious.

Land had no intention of teasing her, directly plucking a scale from his body.

Initially only about the size of a palm, the scale expanded to its original size once removed from Land’s body.

Turning several meters wide and long.

The Rainbow Dragon, with the dragon scale, disappeared once more.

In the days that followed.

Land didn’t pay much attention to the Rainbow Dragon, instead channeling all his focus onto the Dragon Head Mushrooms.

These things.

One by one, they were all slowly transforming into life forms.

The speed was astonishingly fast.

After the first one matured, nearly ten thousand a day completed the transformation.

Their internal energy levels ranged from 13 to 16.

Much weaker than the Fiery Sun Elements, perhaps that was why they could transform so quickly.

Nearly ten thousand mushroom dragons turned creatures screeched incessantly in the underground base.

The Xiao Female Dragon along with the Dragons and Dragon People were not annoyed by this, instead, they were incredibly excited.

The kidnapped Dorlan Star People, however, had the most horrified expressions.

"This is terrible... Land Saphis Oakben truly is a terrifyingly powerful dragon.

Not only exuding exceptional strength himself.

Now he can create lineages of formidable monsters from nothing.

If he isn’t dealt with soon, Dorlan Star will indeed be in grave danger."

They mumbled, their eyes full of bewilderment.

"These creatures from now on will be called Mushroom Dragons.

Fiona, you and the Dragon People, take these creatures to live on the surface.

They need nutrients from the land to survive.

The soil here is nearly drained by them.

It’s time for a change of venue."

Land instructed the Xiao Female Dragon.

Meanwhile, he ordered the newly born life forms to listen to Fiona’s command.

To which, the Xiao Female Dragon showed immense interest.

She proudly approached the Mushroom Dragons, leading these little things to the surface.

In the days to follow.

Roughly a month or so.

Land completed nurturing the first batch of Mushroom Dragons.

Totaling approximately one hundred and fifty thousand Mushroom Dragons.

The entire underground base soil became extremely dry, cracking in large swathes.

Thus.

He also ventured to the surface.

The obvious purpose was to cultivate more Mushroom Dragons.

These things had low intelligence.

Unable to grow via learning.

Though currently, they seemed not very useful.

But at least they required no cost from him to mass produce, albeit weak, they could still serve as cannon fodder of some utility.

Until...

Rainbow Dragon Sindri appeared once again before Land with Yakus and some Dragon People.

The Rainbow Dragon now held a massive, translucent egg, several meters high, in her arms.

"What is this?"

"The thing you asked for."
