"Impossible, absolutely impossible! I can't do it!"
Standing in front of Colonel Ballance, Angelina shook her head like a rattle.
"You are the most powerful magician in the United States!"
"That's just a human. I don't have the confidence to fight a dragon!!!"
Angelina was almost crying. Her face turned pale as she looked at the huge dark figure in the distance.
"I definitely can't win! I might get swallowed up in one blow!!"
“…”
In the face of Angie's reaction, Colonel Ballance didn't know what to say. Although from a military point of view, this kind of desertion should be brought to a military court, but when she thought carefully about the terrifying dragon...To be honest, Colonel Ballance would rather go to a military court than be swallowed by the dragon.
"What a headache! What should I do now?"
In fact, ever since Fang Zheng summoned the giant dragon, it has shocked the whole world. Now people are no longer concerned about the duel between the United States and Fang Zheng. On the contrary, they immediately paid attention to this terrifying dragon!
The magic world in particular was like experiencing a magnitude 10 earthquake, and the International Magic Association even sent a delegation to investigate.
I have said before that in this world, there are two kinds of magicians. One is the ancient magic that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day, such as the priests, Taoist priests, wizards, Yin Yang masters, witches in myths and legends. Most of them have very unique abilities that cannot be copied, so this kind of magic is also called BS magic in the world.
Just like what I said before, if it is purely flying magic, then there are many people who can use it in ancient magic, but it cannot be popularized.
The other type of magician is the one that was artificially cultivated after humans used science to unravel the secrets of magic. This includes the Ten Master Clans and the Twenty-Eight Clans. Honoka Mitsui and Erica Chiba are also descendants of this type of artificially cultivated magician. Their characteristic is that they are highly versatile. As long as they use the CAD calculation terminal and mobilize magic power, they can cast magic to a certain extent.
To put it bluntly, modern magicians are like mass-produced machines, which may not be very powerful, but are versatile. Ancient magicians are more like special machines, which are extremely powerful, but you may not be able to produce one in ten thousand.
Of course, after realizing that magic does exist, people did think about a question.
That is... since the immortals, Taoists, wizards and witches in ancient legends all exist, do those monsters also exist?
For example, the four sacred beasts, the giant dragon, the unicorn, and so on... Are these made-up legends or are they real?
Because there is no evidence and it is so long ago, even the information that has been passed down is mostly myths and legends, so modern magicians basically regard it as a myth.
But when a real dragon appears in front of them, that’s a different story!
If dragons exist, does that mean that giants, demons, mermaids and other supernatural beings still live in this world? And didn't the American magic world create an artificial black hole through magic, which led to the accident of vampires? Maybe that was really the vampire in the legend passed down by word of mouth in the past!
There were many different opinions at the time, and it was extremely lively.
But the United States is in big trouble.
After Fang Zheng summoned the giant dragon, the American representative's face suddenly became longer than his beard. If he hadn't been facing the media cameras, he would have really wanted to flip the table.
Can this guy fight?
Isn’t this bullying?
A giant dragon with a body length of 100 meters, regardless of its own strength, just its size alone is not something that one or two magicians can deal with. They can only consider assembling the power of a fleet, and may even need the support of missiles - this is a direct war.
However, they certainly could not have imagined that Fang Zheng did this in order to... set a trap for the whole world.
Fang Zheng will not give any Gundam technology to China. To put it bluntly, they don’t need it. Therefore, Fang Zheng gave them good things as a substitute.
After all, this world is full of magic power, which is also called spiritual energy according to the fairy tale novels. In this case, is there any need to ask? Of course, it is cultivation.
So Fang Zheng sent all the Shushan School secrets that he had collected in the Fairy Sword World. According to Zhou Gongjin, China has now begun to secretly train a group of Shushan swordsmen. This did not cause any problems. After all, unlike other countries, China has always been studying ancient magic and has little interest in modern magic that requires genetic adjustment. Of course, the disadvantage of ancient magic is also obvious, that is, it is difficult to pass on. This is also the reason why the Han Dynasty was unable to recover after the Siye family sneak attacked the Kunlun Underground Palace.
But now, with the Shushan School's secret book, it would be much easier. It would not be long before Fang Zheng would be able to see a group of people from China flying around on swords...
By that time, other countries would naturally have doubts about this, and the Pan-Asia Alliance had already prepared an explanation, saying that it was the dragon summoned by Fang Zheng that gave them inspiration for ancient magic, and after in-depth exploration, they found the originally hidden tome.
It would be even better if this could divert the attention of all countries to archaeology.
This is also the reason why Fang Zheng is not worried that Pan Asia will be led astray after receiving the Gundam. Firstly, Pan Asia's foundation in modern magic is not solid. Secondly... the Shushan School has mastered the magic arts, and each of them is a humanoid Gundam. Why would they still drive a Gundam?
Just go up and use the Ten Thousand Swords Technique and then the Sword God will come and destroy you.
Therefore, the main reason why Fang Zheng wanted to send the Gundam back was to allow Pan Asia to carefully study the magic engineering and technology on the Japanese side - after all, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles.
This is like flying an F35 back to China from the United States. It's all good news, right?
Fang Zheng didn't care, but it was a headache for the Americans. After all, Fang Zheng had summoned the dragon and hadn't let it go back. Now the dragon was resting on the island - it was clear that it would not call it a day until it had given them a good beating. But the Americans were not stupid, and they couldn't really let their ace magician serve food to the dragon.
Fortunately, after communicating with the members sent by the International Magic Association, both sides finally came up with a solution.
"...a competition?"
"That's right."
Looking at Fang Zheng, an old man in gentleman's clothes spoke with a smile.
"Although there have indeed been giant dragons in myths and folk tales, they are just legends. We also want to see the power of giant dragons with our own eyes. So if possible, our International Magic Association hopes to send some representatives to experience it with American magicians... What do you think?"
Although the latter looked like he was almost a grandfather, he was still extremely respectful to Fang Zheng - for someone who could summon a giant dragon with a wave of his hand, no amount of respect could be too much.
"oh……"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes. He also thought that this was probably the International Magic Association giving the United States a way out and letting him off the hook. After all, if the International Magic Association was also involved, then Fang Zheng would naturally be embarrassed to let the dragon kill him... In this way, the ace magician of the United States could also escape.
Although it is a bit embarrassing, facing such a powerful enemy, the United States has to be timid now, unless they are really determined to go to war for the sake of face...that's another matter.
"So, what do you think, Mr. Kasugano?"
Since the other party has already made his attitude clear, Fang Zheng will naturally not kill him.
"I have no problem."
So he quickly gave an answer.
After the decision was made, the duel format was soon changed. Originally, the United States was in charge, but now the International Magic Association took the lead. For a time, magician associations from various countries also sent representatives to participate. After all, this was a battle against a dragon, and no magician in this world had such an opportunity. Not to mention defeating a dragon, even just surviving a dragon's attack was already an honor.
Of course, just in case, Fang Zheng also told the International Magic Association that this duel was quite dangerous. He could restrain the dragon from attacking those who gave up surrendering, but if the other party was determined to kill him, he could do nothing about it. The International Magic Association also understood this. Even the best-trained dogs would bite if they were provoked. If anyone had nothing better to do and provoked the dragon, they could not blame anyone else if they were swallowed by it.
Because of this, magicians who want to participate must also be strictly selected. The Thirteen Apostles are definitely not allowed to play. They are all human nuclear bombs from various countries. If they are destroyed by Fang Zheng here, it will truly change the world situation. Of course, there are also many magicians who don't care about these. They hope to use their own power to face the giant dragon from ancient myths and legends, even if it costs their lives. After all, this opportunity only comes once in a thousand years. As a magician, if you don't even want this, you are a real coward!
So after discussion, the two sides decided on the rules of the game - the competition venue was the entire island. Considering that Fang Zheng had summoned a dragon, the rules of the game naturally changed.
The rules are like this. The International Magic League, formed by the International Magic Association, needs to take a crystal from where the dragon is. It doesn't matter if they steal it secretly or rob it. As long as they can get the crystal and escape from the island to the designated location, they will win.
Of course, Fang Zheng will also be wandering around the island, so it would be a good thing if we could defeat him.
To put it simply, this was basically equivalent to imitating the story of stealing treasure from a dragon's lair, and making up such a rule for the competition. Fang Zheng naturally didn't care about this.
So soon, in full view of everyone, a brand new showdown began on a small island in the Pacific.
