Chapter 59 Illusion Domain

"Can you play with Vera?"

When asked about the fairy dragon's question, Garos pondered for a moment, neither refusing nor agreeing, and said, "It depends on my mood."

The words had barely left his mouth.

He felt something was wrong with his tail.

Turning his head, he saw emerald green vines wrapped around the tip of his tail, tied into a bow-like shape, their surface shimmering with pink light powder sprinkled by the fairy dragon.

Galus flicked his tail.

The sharp, overlapping dragon scales on top rubbed together, instantly cutting and pulverizing the vines.

"We'll play later. Right now, I need you to do something serious for me."

He said.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business quickly, and then you can play with me."

The fairy dragon nodded excitedly, then tilted its head and asked, "What's the important matter?"

Galos grinned.

"Come, use your illusion on me."

The strange request truly makes it a strange dragon; its interests and hobbies are unfathomable and somewhat dangerous.

"Illusions come with a certain amount of mental damage. If you fall victim to too many, it can damage your brain and turn you into an idiot. Aren't you afraid?"

"I asked curiously," the fairy dragon asked.

What I want is psychological harm.

"Don't ask so many questions, let's begin."

Garus took a deep breath, focused his mind, and prepared to face the fairy dragon's illusion.

"Alright, alright, this is your own request, so don't get angry just because you're injured." The fairy dragon added, still not entirely at ease, before using its most powerful illusionary sound technique on Garos.

The sound of a clear spring flowing reached Galus's ears.

The scene before his eyes began to spin, twist, and deform.

In the distance, the fur of the bears disappeared, their bodies shrank, and they became like little toys chasing and playing. Rocks and trees grew hands, feet, and mouths, dancing and singing. The colors of the whole world became vibrant, like an oil painting.

This time, Garos did not try to interrupt the illusion with a physical attack; instead, he immersed himself in it.

Look down at yourself.

Galos was astonished to find that his dragon scales had turned into flowers.

Bees and butterflies swarmed around him, buzzing and fluttering their wings, singing indistinct, incomprehensible songs that made him feel dizzy.

Galus sat upright on the ground, as steady as a rock.

He let the singing continue, and the scene before him became increasingly bizarre, using this as a way to train himself to adapt.

But not long after.

The sounds and illusions abruptly ceased.

The bizarre, oil painting-like world disappeared, the hallucination vanished, and the world before my eyes returned to normal.

The feeling just now was like accidentally entering some fantastical and bizarre world. Garos was still a little unsatisfied. He looked at the fairy dragon, his gaze falling on its butterfly-like wings, and said, "I heard that the scale powder of the fairy dragon can enhance mental strength."

The fairy dragon nodded and said, "Yes."

"Let me try it."

"Garos said."

Scale powder is a renewable resource from the fairy dragon, so it is not rare to it. Without hesitation, it flew to the top of Garus's head and fluttered its butterfly-like wings.

Silver-gray powder fell in a soft patter.

Galus opened his mouth and ate them all.

In an instant.

His mind became highly sensitive, his excitement and focus increased dramatically, and the colors of the whole world became vivid and bright, as if they had turned into some kind of warm color.

Spiders weaving webs in rock crevices, insects crawling on treetops, and dust in the air.

The rustling of the wind through the branches and leaves, the subtle sound of my own scales rubbing against each other, the crisp sound of dewdrops hitting the stones.

Details that would normally be overlooked become crystal clear at this moment, presented to Galus's senses.

"This feeling is wonderful."

Galos's eyes gleamed as he thought to himself.

This is a different feeling from eating black oil.

The black oil primarily excites his body, which in turn stimulates and excites him on a mental level.

Besides his senses, Galos felt that his thinking speed had also increased, and he seemed to have become smarter.

Then he reconsidered, wondering if he should shift his focus to spiritual and mental development, or formally begin learning magic.

After a few seconds of deep thought, he received a negative answer.

His wisdom told him that physical strength and power were more important.

The Red Iron Dragon hybrid lacks outstanding talent in spirit, mind, and magic, making it difficult to improve and unable to form combat power in a short time, thus failing to become his means of survival in the wilderness.

It's a better choice to try things only after you've become strong enough; it will be much more efficient.

"Vera, continue using illusions on me."

He turned his head and spoke to the fairy dragon.

Galos does not intend to focus on improving concentration, but he will not completely ignore it either; appropriate training is necessary.

Feeling mentally exhausted, the fairy dragon rubbed its head and then used the illusionary sound spell again.

Because of the use of scale powder, his mental sensitivity was enhanced, and the effect of illusions on Garos was also increased.

The scene before his eyes became bizarre and indescribable.

The shadow of the stone was elongated.

It turned into a twisted monster.

A giant tree hangs upside down, its roots firmly planted in the sky; its trunk and branches, which block out the sun, are all made of flesh and blood.

The songs in my ears turned into some kind of completely inaudible murmur, or like the whispers and hisses of some creature.

Galos was once again immersed in the realm of bizarre illusions.

period.

He vaguely saw branches, like claws, hanging down from the bizarre world, reaching towards him, but they seemed to be separated by a barrier between illusion and reality, unable to get close or touch him.

"Is it because the use of scales enhanced mental sensitivity?"

"The effect of this illusion is something that a fairy dragon could never achieve."

Galos thought to himself.

Time slowly passed by.

A short while later, Galos looked at the fairy dragon with shining eyes and said, "Vera, you can go play now. Let's end today's mental training here."

The fairy dragon, its wings drooping, perched on a treetop and weakly lifted its eyelids.

"I'm not playing anymore, Vera needs to rest now, I'm so tired."

The fairy dragon is skilled in illusion magic, but its energy is not limitless. It is exhausted now because of Garus's exploitation. It is mentally exhausted and only wants to sleep and rest. It has no interest in playing.

Galos is still in good spirits.

The effectiveness of the powder has diminished.

The world in his eyes was no longer vibrant, and his perception was not as strong as before, but it had improved slightly compared to the beginning.

"It really is good stuff."

"By frequently using the scales of fairy dragons, my mental strength and perception can be greatly enhanced without much specialized training."

Garus glanced at the fairy dragon fast asleep on the treetop and felt like he had struck gold.

Unfortunately.

Now there is no way to obtain black oil, so it is impossible to get black oil.

"What would it feel like to have your body and mind both excited and active if you consumed black oil and fish scales at the same time?"

Galos couldn't help but think to himself.

"If you have the means, you can buy black oil from caravans."

"But I can't show my face, otherwise I'll get into trouble."

After pacing and pondering for a moment, he flapped his wings and soared into the sky, preparing to explore the territories of other creatures around the Conifer Valley more carefully.

When choosing this place as territory.

Galos knew it.

There are many intelligent creature clans around the Needle Valley, at a distance that is neither too close nor too far, and there is also a branch road with the Thousand Serpents' Mark.

These are all safety hazards.

only.

Danger lurks everywhere in the wilderness.

Compared to other places, the Conifer Valley is relatively rich in resources, so this safety hazard is already relatively small.

Moreover, if handled well, it can even be used to his advantage.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Galus chose this place as his territory.
