Chapter 3363: Mercury Dragon

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"Fertile Black Soil" has become "Rich Black Soil".

The mutual cooperation among literary creations can form positive feedback, which can actually be considered a type of Law seed. If this type of text increases in number and presents a more positive integration, it is very likely to evolve into a new Law.

This is also what Angel finds intriguing about the Text Space.

If applied to the Crystal Origin of Dreams, could it possibly collide with the underlying logic of the Crystal Origin of Dreams to spark new and fascinating ideas?

Angel is quite eager to find out.

Just as Angel was delightfully manipulating the literary creations, the Housekeeper Fan suddenly turned his head towards the path beside the curtain: "Our chef has finally arrived."

As soon as the Housekeeper Fan spoke, a buzzing sound resonated in everyone’s ears.

Angel raised his head to look as well.

He saw a Mirror Dragon covered in silver scales, fluttering a thin membrane wing on its back, flying over from the end of the path.

It appeared to be only about two meters tall, clearly a miniaturized transformed Mirror Dragon. Judging by its body, with a large belly and small wings, and eyes like dreamy colored smoke, it seemed to be a Treasure Dragon.

It’s worth mentioning that it was entirely covered in flawless silver scales, such that even in this not-too-brightly-lit dining room, one could feel the silver light like shimmering reflections, and the scales seemed like mercury spilling out, floating in the void. — To put it more simply, it was too bright, bright enough to almost blind you.

"Is this... a Mercury Dragon?" Angel whispered in the Mind Ribbon.

He had heard before that the most categorized Mirror Dragons in the Hundred-Dragon Divine Kingdom are the Treasure Dragons, under which various Gemstone Dragons, including Diamond Dragons, as well as Gold Touch Dragons, Mercury Dragons, and Algarongs... are included.

Special Treasure Dragons, such as the Algarong and Mystic Book Dragon, are hard to distinguish. But other Treasure Dragons can be roughly identified from their scales.

Gemstone Dragons have gems on their scales; Diamond Dragons have scales like sparkling diamonds; Gold Touch Dragons have pure golden scales easily recognized at a glance; as for Mercury Dragons, their silver light is so dazzling it blinds.

The dragon before him was obviously a Treasure Dragon in appearance, combined with the silver gleam of its scales, the name "Mercury Dragon" flashed in Angel’s mind.

Not long after Angel spoke, Laplace responded in the Mind Ribbon: "It’s indeed a Treasure Mercury Dragon."

Laplace paused and then started explaining Mercury Dragon’s information to Laplai in detail: "Speaking of which, the Mercury Dragon is considered an odd one in the Treasure Dragon lineage. Most other Treasure Dragons have attributes leaning towards controlling metals or minerals, and their hobbies are related to collecting treasures."

"But that’s not the case for the Mercury Dragon..."

The power mastered by the Mercury Dragon leans more towards traditional Aggregation Energy, possibly because their scales resemble flowing mercury so much that without any processing, they are exactly like mirrors.

Thus, each of its scales can be considered a stable mirror containing multiple levels of Mirror Space.

Due to this trait, if it encountered combat, the Mercury Dragon could also use its scales as mirrors to throw as explosive mirrors, with the level of explosion comparable to the instantaneous energy released when a premium Mirror Space collapses.

In simpler terms: each scale is a nuclear-level bomb.

And the Mercury Dragon’s scales are innumerable.

Just from this feature, one can understand that the Mercury Dragon’s fighting style is absolutely wild. In the Daylight Mirror Domain, few races dare to confront the Mercury Dragon head-on; one dragon is equivalent to the combat power of an entire species.

However, this scale-offensive of the Mercury Dragon is merely a derivative ability from manipulating mirrors; there are many similar derivative abilities.

For example, they can use the whole body’s "mirror reflection" to project numerous Avatars.

These Avatars can also absorb Aggregation Energy, causing fearsome energy disturbances.

They can also use the reflection of mirrors to create effects of Shadow Illusion Technique, and their illusion capabilities are prominent even in the Daylight Mirror Domain.

After listening to Laplace’s introduction, Angel gained a rough understanding of the Mercury Dragon. Not mentioning other talents for the moment, he did not expect that the Mercury Dragon could also operate Mirage.

The Shadow Illusion Technique on Illusion Demon Island is categorized under Mirage. Or rather, illusions created by manipulating the natural play of light, mist, and celestial phenomena belong to Mirage.

The illusions Angel created in the Wilderness of Dreams and Crystal Origin of Dreams are also derived from the Mirage power of the "Celestial Alternation" Authority.

However, Illusionist Wizards rely on their talents and effort to master Mirage step by step.

Yet the Mercury Dragon relies on its mirror-like dragon scales to forcefully make Mirage its own, which also counts as an extraordinary talent, doesn’t it?

While Angel was contemplating, the shimmering mini Mercury Dragon had already floated before the dining table.

It seems the Housekeeper Fan, when searching for it earlier, had already informed it of the guests’ identities today; so, even though the guests at the dining table all appeared in human form, its dreamy dragon eyes showed little emotional fluctuation.

Only when it looked at Laplace did its eyes show more seriousness.

Presumably, this was also under the instruction of the Housekeeper Fan.

Housekeeper Fan: "This is the chef for today’s Dragon Banquet, named Aivikato."

"Good evening, everyone." The Mercury Dragon flew next to Housekeeper Fan, gently nodding towards the group: "Though I do not know whether it’s day or night outside right now, it matters not; if one wishes to enjoy a Dragon Banquet here with me, it is definitely nighttime. Compared to a daytime banquet, I prefer a night banquet."

In any case, whatever the outside is—day or night—on this side it could only be night.

This statement was convoluted and seemingly flawed in logic, but it did not provoke much of a reaction from Angel... among humans, there exist those stranger than Aivikato, especially wizards, each with peculiar quirks.

Aivikato’s preference for a night banquet is not that bizarre.

More than Aivikato’s preferences, Angel was intrigued by... the faint mysterious aura emanating from Aivikato.

Unless I am mistaken, it surely had encountered Mysterious Objects recently or perhaps carries Mysterious Objects or special Secret Treasures, hence the presence of a mysterious aura.

A powerful Mirror Dragon owning a Mysterious Object is not extravagant, and in previous times, even if Angel sensed it, he wouldn’t particularly concern himself.

Similar to how Sanders and Lord Reine occasionally also have the aura of Mysterious Objects around them, Angel would notice it but act as if he hadn’t.

Plus, Angel himself gives off a mysterious aura, so how could he expect more of others than even of himself?

In the past, though he sensed it, he just passed it by.

Yet this time, Angel did mind it a little.

The main reason is... the mysterious aura on Aivikato felt eerily familiar to Angel.

This familiarity is not just an excuse but a tangible recognition: because Angel’s mysterious aura matched almost identically with that on Aivikato.

And, the source of Angel’s mysterious aura... the Eye of the Wicked Witch.

Could it mean that Aivikato also received the blessing from the Wicked Witch’s Blessing Magic?

As Angel was pondering this, Aivikato’s gaze met his, and from its subtly luminescent eyes, Angel detected a hint of surprise.

Evidently, Aivikato also discovered that Angel bore the same mysterious aura.

Aivikato: "You are... Mr. Angele, right? Housekeeper Fan introduced you to me just now as a wizard from the human world."

Angel nodded and stood up to give a bow.

Aivikato: "Did you also receive the evil witch’s blessing?"

Aivikato directly asked without any beating around the bush.

Upon hearing Aivikato’s question, Angele’s inner doubts were resolved. As expected, the mysterious aura surrounding Aivikato also came from the evil witch’s blessing.

Angel nodded, not hiding anything. Or rather, he couldn’t hide it. The aura on him was as conspicuous as a signal flare, visible to anyone, how could he conceal it?

Angel nodded while observing Aivikato.

The evil witch’s blessing he received, regardless of its effect, had very noticeable side effects, like a pair of cat ears that were strikingly conspicuous.

Because he had been through it himself, Angel, facing another fallen Aivikato, wanted to explore whether Aivikato also showed "anomalous" side effects.

But unfortunately, after examining Aivikato for a while, Angel didn’t find anything amiss.

Perhaps Aivikato received the type of blessing without significant side effects?

Angel didn’t dare to inquire, only secretly envying in his heart.

Aivikato looked at Angel: "Judging by the mysterious aura on you, it seems you received the evil witch’s blessing not long ago?"

Angel nodded: "Blessed not long ago."

Aivikato: "I got my blessing half a year ago. Your luck isn’t bad; the blessing ends next week. I thought it would transition smoothly to the end, but unexpectedly you caught the last bus."

Aivikato spoke self-consciously, and while the words sounded fine at first, upon closer examination, Angel found something off.

What does blessing have to do with our luck?

Angel and Laplace were merely looking to escape the clutter outside, steal some peace here, and have a taste of the Mirror Dragon’s banquet, so why was luck involved?

Could it be... this banquet is actually related to Aivikato’s mysterious blessing?

Thinking this, Angel and Laplace exchanged glances, both seeing similar thoughts in each other’s eyes. Clearly, Laplace also recognized this point.

Is it really such a coincidence?

Angel’s evil witch blessing was related to food, and so was Aivikato’s?

Laplace didn’t speculate further and directly asked: "You mean, the dragon feast you prepared is related to the blessing you received from the evil witch? Is your blessing related to food magic?"

Facing Laplace’s inquiry, Aivikato dared not evade, quickly responding: "The dragon feast is indeed related to the evil witch’s blessing, but the blessing I received is not about food magic."

"Specifically what blessing, please watch, and you will know."

Aivikato initially prepared some pre-meal remarks, but due to Laplace’s sudden question, the remarks were quickly abandoned.

Proceeding straight to the main topic.

"Next, I will begin preparing the dragon feast." As Aivikato finished speaking, he gently waved, and a basket flew out from an unknown space.

The basket landed on the table.

Everyone could clearly see the basket was filled with fruits covered in dewdrops.

The appearance of the fruits... Angel hadn’t seen them before, perhaps they were unique to the Mirror Domain?

Aivikato laid out the fruits, seemingly planning to create pre-meal fruits?

Angel looked at the extremely strange-shaped fruits, although grotesque in appearance and slightly off-putting in color, the scent was sweet and pleasant, seemingly suitable as pre-meal fruits?

Just right to taste the fruits of the Mirror Domain, curious about their flavor.

While Angel was thinking this, he found Aivikato showing no signs of distributing the fruits but directly swallowing them whole, one after another.

Eating the fruits was one thing, but what shocked Angel the most was that as Aivikato swallowed the fruits, the mysterious aura surrounding him flared up like flames soaked in alcohol, roiling forth.

Originally, according to Aivikato’s words, the mysterious blessing on him was nearing "expiration," meaning the mysterious aura was on the verge of dissipating.

Yet now, the surging mysterious aura was even more intense than Angel’s, giving the illusion that Aivikato was a human form of mysterious object.

"Is this... activating the evil witch’s blessing?" Laplace asked.

Housekeeper Fan gently nodded at Laplace: "The blessing Aivikato received activates after eating fruits..."

Housekeeper Fan was about to explain, but before finishing, Aivikato’s voice resounded from within the swirling mysterious aura: "Everyone, which part of the meat do you prefer eating?"

Angel paused, surprised: "Huh?"

Laplace furrowed his brows, saying nothing.

However, Jasmine, from across the way, smoothly chimed in: "I prefer chest meat; it’s chewy, located near the core, abundant in energy and nourishing."

Jasmine finished speaking and glanced at Angel: "If you’re unsure which part to eat, I recommend trying the dragon’s tail, wings, or neck meat."

Angel: "???" What are you talking about?

Jasmine didn’t explain, continuing: "The dragon tail serves as one of the three major places of energy deposition for the Mercury Dragon. It has a large amount of redundant aggregation energy, not only uniquely flavorful but once consumed, can act as the core of aggregation energy."

"If Mr. Angel wishes to reside permanently in the Daylight Mirror Domain, it would be challenging to survive without an aggregation energy core."

"After all, the mainstream energy here is primarily aggregation energy."

"Regarding dragon wings, they offer space resistance upon consumption, beneficial for traversing the Void."

"As for dragon neck meat, the flavor is the best, instantly boosting the body’s strength..."

Jasmine shared her insights, offering Angel some suggestions.

Yet Angel listened, utterly baffled.

Was Jasmine planning to dismember the Mercury Dragon for a feast? How brutal!

As Angel thought about this, Housekeeper Fan finally completed the previously unfinished explanation: "Eating specified fruits can cause specific body organs to multiply once."
