A white dragon.
Well… Roland realized why the Spatial Magic Tower didn’t want to deal with that.
First of all, dragons were the fastest flying creatures in the main plane.
Of course, that’s not counting the angels that came from the paradises.
Secondly, dragons were very strong. Both the metal dragons and the five-color dragons were as strong as human Legends after they became adults.
Nobody was confident of fighting a creature who flew fast, weighed more than a hundred tons, boasted heavy armor and high magic resistance, and could both cast spells and fight melee battles.
More importantly, the white dragons were the freaks among the five-color dragons.
Such dragons generally lived on the snowfields. Probably because Tiamat, the God of the Dragons, didn’t like them, they had a low intelligence among dragons and sometimes even only displayed animalistic behavior.
But as the saying went, when one window was closed, another window might be opened. After they sacrificed their intelligence, the white dragons had even hardier bodies.
They had super armor, super magic resistance, and super melee combat abilities. The only spell they knew was Ice Breath, but it was very powerful.
They would also go crazy when they saw blood.
They were the strongest warriors among the dragons. Even the platinum dragons, who were experts in melee battles, would rather not fight them in head-on clashes.
It was rather natural that the Spatial Magic Tower found it tricky to deal with an adult white dragon.
That was because all the destructive spells in this school had a delay.
Spatial magic could destroy anything, but activating it took too long.
In battles between same-level individuals, such spells could easily be predicted and counterattacked.
Paine, for one, was very good at spatial magic and killed thousands of players with one Dimensional Slash.
But it was only because his level was much higher.
It was very easy for Nia, an angel on the same level as him, to predict and dodge such attacks.
The black angel did not dare to use spatial magic against Nia at all in their battle.
Therefore, even though spatial magic was the most destructive of all, it was not as effective as evoking magic.
Simplicity meant beauty and power.
“If your target is a white dragon, you should’ve invited a Legendary Mage.” Roland understood their intention, but it only made him more suspicious. “I’m just a Master Mage. I don’t think I can be of any help.”
“We need your self-imploding fireball,” said the elder. “The white dragon has high magic resistance. Regular evoking spells cannot break through its scales at all. However, we found that your fireball could do that after examining its model.”
Roland was even more confused. “If you already know the model of the fireball, you can totally use it yourself. Is it necessary to ask for my help?”
“Ours isn’t powerful enough.” The elder from the Spatial Magic Tower smiled bitterly. “We’re all dedicated to spatial magic. Although we can use Inferior Fireball, we can’t create one more than three meters in diameter.”
It was not unusual for an adult white dragon to grow to thirty or forty meters long, so a fireball three meters in diameter really wasn’t powerful enough.
After all, the target had super armor and magic resistance.
“I don’t have much confidence either.” Roland thought for a moment and said, “I can expand a fireball to eight meters in diameter, but it will take several seconds for me to prepare.”
“We know that very well, so we will help you contain the dragon for at least ten seconds.”
Roland frowned. “Wait, spatial magic is even more destructive. Spatial crevices can cut apart any object in the main plane. If you can control the dragon for ten seconds, there will be enough time for you to cut it into pieces with spells like Dimensional Slash, won’t there?”
The elder said with a bitter smile, “Actually, another feature of the dragon is that it’s immune to spatial magic.”
“How is that possible?” Roland was stunned.
Having read a lot of books on magic, he had picked up most of the common knowledge on magic. He knew that, while the cutting of the spatial crevices was caused by magic, it was essentially a physical attack.
How could anything be immune to physical attacks?
The elder heaved a sigh and said, “It all started more than a hundred years ago.”
A hundred years earlier, a mentor in the Spatial Magic Tower picked up a white dragon egg and incubated it.
This young white dragon was originally an unintelligent beast, but as it lived with human beings, it gradually picked up more wisdom.
This white dragon also treated its hatcher as a father and listened to his every command.
The mentor loved doing magic experiments, and the young white dragon became his experiment subject. Eventually, he was able to create a void white dragon.
Any spatial magic power would be obliterated when it approached the white dragon.
The white dragon was supposedly a secret weapon of the Spatial Magic Tower, but one day, the mentor died.
Ever since then, the white dragon had been unrestrained and lawless.
The Spatial Magic Tower was unable to control it, and it ran off in the end.
The white dragon even hated the Spatial Magic Tower and came to sabotage the city every other year.
Many people in the city were panicked.
“It’s indeed a problem.” Roland thought for a moment. “But I’m just a Master. It’s still very challenging for me to deal with the white dragon. Can I give it some thought?” The elder smiled. “No problem at all.”
After leaving the Council of Elders, Roland checked in at a random hotel in the city.
The black cat was still with them at this time. Roland asked her, “Maromatha, does the white dragon often come to the Spatial Magic Tower for trouble?”
“Yes. I’ve seen it many times since my childhood. It’s probably coming again soon.”
“But I don’t think the residents in your city are very nervous!”
The black cat gently stroked her jaw. “Because it only takes a couple of people every two to three years. By comparison, the nobles in the city execute a hundred times more people over trivial matters every year.”
It meant this man-eating white dragon was even more merciful than the nobles!
How hilarious.
Maromatha looked at Marilyn. “Why don’t we go back to the clan and take a look? It isn’t very far away.”
Marilyn was rather tempted.
But at this moment, Roland said casually, “We’ve traveled for almost two weeks. Let’s take a break and go there tomorrow.”
“Sounds good.” The black cat was rather tired herself. She smiled and said, “Then I’ll come to you tomorrow.”
The black cat turned around and left.
Roland picked up a book on the edge of the bed.
Marilyn, on the other hand, lay down at the corner of her room and slept for a while on a blanket.
As it was getting dark, Marilyn strolled into the bathroom and took a shower.
As a catgirl, Marilyn had a strong compulsion for personal hygiene.
Every time she took a shower, she would carefully wipe her body with a towel without leaving any spot unclean. Therefore, she usually spent a lot of time in the bathroom.
It usually took an hour. If she felt that she was dirty, it might take more than two hours.
Roland waited for a moment and then knocked on the bathroom door. He then said in a low voice, “Marilyn, come out. I need to talk to
you.”
Marilyn was wiping her body in the room. The hair on her tail bristled as she stuttered, “M-Master, d-do you w-want me to warm your bed for you?”.
Marilyn had always trusted Roland.
But Roland had never talked to her while she was in the shower.
Besides, what could a master possibly want a showering catgirl to do?
It was impossible for a man not to be tempted by a cute, beautiful catgirl; he might even turn into an evil monster.
“No, what are you thinking?” Roland felt that something must be wrong with this catgirl’s head. She seemed even dumber than when they first met. Was there something wrong with his education?
Frightened, Marilyn said from the bathroom, “Master, don’t take me. My breasts aren’t as prominent as the queen’s. You won’t have any feelings for me.”
“Put on your clothes and come out!”
Roland lost his patience, and his tone became serious. “Oh.”
Marilyn’s timid voice sounded. Very soon, she came out of the bathroom.
Her silver hair was still wet, and she looked rather undetermined as if she had given up struggling
Roland approached her.
Holding her flat chest, Marilyn stepped back quickly until her back hit the wall. She didn’t resist.
Roland stood right before her.
They were very close to each other, and Marilyn’s heart was pounding.
Roland lowered his head.
Her body shivered.
“In a moment, I’ll ask you to buy some stuff. You’ll pretend to go shopping and then activate stealth in a dark corner. Then, you’ll get out of the city before the city gate closes.”
Marilyn looked at Roland in surprise. “Aren’t we here for a mission?”
“It doesn’t look right.” Roland shook his head helplessly. “I had considered this before we came, but I didn’t think that the Spatial Magic Tower would do anything because it’s allied with the Red Magic Tower… Well, it’s also because I was too greedy for their four spell models.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” said Marilyn with a smile. “But I’ll do anything that you ask me to do.”
Roland was briefly stunned, as Marilyn seemed gentle and beautiful at this moment.
Ten minutes later, Marilyn walked out of the room and turned back, asking naturally, “Master, did you ask me to buy some melons and barbecue? Can I buy something for myself?”
Iw
“Whatever you want, but don’t come back too late.”
“Okay.” Marilyn hopped away from the hotel delightedly.
Roland threw out a magic spider that was almost completely transparent. It crawled out of the window and followed Marilyn.
Very soon, the magic spider caught two plain-looking men tailing Marilyn.
They were the kind of people that wouldn’t draw any attention when standing in a crowd.
“As I expected.” Roland raised an eyebrow.
He had sensed that something wasn’t right when the elder of the Spatial Magic Tower talked about what the white dragon did.
It might be hard for an individual Legendary Mage to kill a white dragon, but for the Spatial Magic Tower, an organization of Mages, it wasn’t difficult to do.
Even so, the white dragon had survived for such a long time and would feed on the citizens regularly.
It was understandable that professionals weren’t scared of the white dragon.
But even the average citizens didn’t seem to fear the white dragon, which was highly abnormal.
In any case, Roland intended to leave this place first.
