The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 41 Ciel is in action

At the headquarters of the Black Bull Group, several days have passed since everyone last returned from the Undersea Temple.

Asta walked into the hall with his arm still hanging, but saw that the normally bustling headquarters was strangely quiet.

Only Ye Jian saw a person sitting on the sofa and flipping through the newspaper.

Asta asked curiously: "Captain Yami, isn't everyone at the headquarters?"

Yami chewed a cigarette and said, "Who knows? Maybe I went somewhere lazy!"

He raised his eyelids and glanced at Asta, Yami couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, Yami knows the whereabouts of the group members very well.

Magna and Lark went together to explore a magical palace that was said to be quite dangerous. Charmy took Gray out for a so-called food search practice, and Finral and Gotton went to the library of the royal capital.

Vanessa, on the other hand, took Noel and Goshu with her, saying they were investigating clues about the magic stone. In short, everyone seemed to be very busy.

But Yami understands very well that no matter what these people say, they are actually becoming stronger in their own ways.

What aroused their fighting spirit was the dwarf and another newcomer in front of them.

In the battle in the underwater temple, Ciel, as a newcomer, showed great strength, putting their seniors to shame.

It is a shame for them to watch their juniors fight to the death on the battlefield while they can only watch on, so their desire to become stronger is even more urgent.

And in Asta, they saw what it means to never give up. It can be said that Asta directly helped these problem children erase despair from their own dictionary.

With two newcomers like these around, they will naturally not slack off.

'But speaking of Charles, it seems like I haven't seen him for a long time.' Yami thought this, but didn't say it out loud.

It seems that Ciel has gone nowhere since he returned to the Knights Headquarters. He was absent from the last mission report.

However, given Ciel's character, he should be practicing hard at this time. That boy will not stop his pace of becoming stronger... Yami guessed this.

In fact, a lot of things happened after the mission ended, the most important of which was of course the mission report.

Yami took Asta to the Knights headquarters to deliver the magic stone and make a detailed report.

As Ciel, who was the main force in the battle with Werther, Yami took Ciel to report. This was also proposed by Ciel himself.

This time when I went to the Shire, I particularly mentioned the power of the spell in Werther. The records passed down by the royal family slandered the elves as a clan of demons intent on monopolizing magic. The Shire hinted the Magic Emperor to investigate in the direction of the elves.

The main reason for bringing Asta was to let the medical wizards from our headquarters treat his injured arm.

Asta's main injury was that his right arm was crushed by Witte during the battle, and the arm bones were broken into pieces. However, compared to the original plot where his hands were completely destroyed by Witte's spell, this time it was much better.

The healing magicians in the royal capital were quite good, and they had been able to cure the wounds to some extent, but they only had to wait for the bone wounds to heal completely.

Unfortunately, the Diamond Kingdom invaded that day. Asta made a mess on the battlefield, so the bandage has not been removed until now.

Yami actually only guessed half of it right. Ciel is indeed still practicing, but at the same time he is also preparing to cause trouble.

The group from the Undersea Temple successfully brought back the magic stone, and Asta was not seriously injured. The others also grew up in their own way, and it can be said that everyone was happy.

But Charles still didn't have time to save Jahno and Chiat.

Ciel was not familiar with them, and he was not kind enough to blame himself for their injuries. Ciel was dissatisfied that he still could not completely change his fate.

It is true that his strength is still insufficient. If he could defeat the chain trap faster, he might actually be able to save the two of them in time.

But Ciel also discovered that he had a problem. That was that he had been passively following Asta through the plot.

Perhaps part of the reason is that subconsciously, I am afraid that I will lose my prophetic nature by changing the original plot too much, so I have always behaved passively.

But no matter what, Charles also realized that if he continued to be so passive, it would only be similar to the original plot.

On the one hand, I hope for change, but on the other hand, I am afraid of change. It is time for me to abandon this cowardly idea.

So Ciel started his own action. He previously hinted that the Magic Emperor's investigation of the elves was part of the action!

…

The powerful demon zone, Mount Yulutim! Ciel returned here to practice again.

I have to say that fighting is indeed the best catalyst for becoming stronger. After the battle with Witte, Ciel could feel that he had made considerable progress.

Especially after he once broke through the limit, both his magic power and physical fitness have skyrocketed. Even the dragon blood mode has become more stable and its duration has been lengthened.

Ciel is not outside the volcano at this time, but inside the volcano. The goal of Ciel's training this time is the magic field of the advanced skill of magic skin.

After completing the magic field, the magician can use magic power to do whatever he wants in the field. For example, magic can attack enemies from all directions more freely, and the magician can even levitate and fly by stepping on magic power.

More powerful magicians can even control the natural mana, and then replenish their own magic power or suppress the enemy.

In the original plot, Fagraine's sister Melioreona Vermilion was the first strong person to show the power of the magic field. That woman was a powerful character who trained Yami, and even Yami would call her "big sister".

In her magic field, even the elves favored by magic have been affected by her control of natural mana. If it were not one against four, she could even directly knock over the fully awakened Laia.

Of course Ciel wanted to master this skill, so he practiced in such a dangerous place.

The formation of the Yulutim volcanic terrain is due to the existence of an extremely huge mana heat source underground. The powerful fire-attributed mana it emits melts the rocks, thus creating the continuously erupting volcanic terrain.

Therefore, after entering the interior of the volcano from the underground cave, the temperature becomes higher as you go downwards.

If you learn the magic skin, you can move outside the volcano, but in the underground cave, even if the magic skin is disordered, it will be burned to char by the fire attribute mana.

Ciel adjusted his breath, tried to make his magic power flow faster, and strode deeper into the cave.

Another reason why Charles chose to practice here is...

The magma surged, and a giant made of magma suddenly appeared.

"Fire Dragon's Wing Strike!"

The solidified flames hit the magma giant heavily, and the exploding flames directly exploded half of the magma giant's body, causing it to turn back into magma and fall back.

Ciel took a breath for a moment and then moved on.

There are creatures deep in this powerful demon zone, not only elemental creatures like magma giants, but also many special creatures.

Every creature that can survive here has a powerful body that can move in powerful mana, and their resistance to fire is particularly strong.

If you want to deal with these creatures that take a bath in lava, even Charr will have to spend some effort.

But so far, the Demonic Palace located deep in the volcano has not been found. But think about it, in addition to ordinary treasures, there is only one magical tool that can turn ordinary animals into magical beasts. It cannot be found.

Not a pity either.

Ciel wanted to take a look at the spider that was turned into a magical beast by the magic tool. It could escape from Meleo Leona, so it should be a good opponent.

"This place is really hot. It's so hot that I can't even sleep!"

A voice reached Ciel's ears, but Ciel did not show any surprise at the sudden appearance of this person.

"It's finally here. I thought you would come earlier!"

Charles turned his head and looked at the lazy man who appeared behind him.

"Oops! Seeing your reaction, I thought I had fallen into the trap of your Magic Knights!" one of the three magic eyes, the fake Laia, said.

Charles waved his hand and said: "I can't talk about a trap, but it is indeed my deliberate design for you to appear here."
