At this time, Alvis was about to catch up with the dragon knight reconnaissance team in front.
But as he flew, the scene before him suddenly changed.
The original mountain and forest terrain has disappeared, replaced by a barren swamp.
In the middle of the swamp, the great sage Asmat just stood there blankly.
Compared to the emerald dragon that is dozens of meters long, Asmat, who is only about 1.67 meters tall, is like a small ant.
"Oh? You are Asmat? The strongest person in this world?"
Alvis had never met Asmat, but according to the information provided by Krober, the only one among the Lizardmen who could influence him should be the great sage Asmat.
"Alvis Emerald Light, the most benevolent ruler of the other world, I am honored to meet you."
Asmat was not at all embarrassed by having his identity revealed. Instead, he took a step forward, bowed, and politely greeted.
"Interesting, what are you up to?"
Alvis sneered and didn't intend to respond at all. He signaled the Emerald Dragon through the mental contract to be ready for battle at any time and not to be ambushed by the enemy due to negligence.
The Emerald Dragon rolled his eyes speechlessly, muttering to himself.
When it finds an opportunity later, it will definitely give Alvis a blow without any hesitation.
In terms of age, the Emerald Dragon is older than the combined ages of three generations of the Emerald Light royal family, but Alvis always speaks to it like he is coaxing a child.
The Emerald Dragon has seen countless battles and eaten more meals than Alvis!
…well, maybe a little less.
But it would never make such a low-level mistake.
Alvis told it to stay alert, but it didn't intend to do so.
It had no intention of communicating or wasting time with the tiny lizardman in front of it, and simply blew a mouthful of dragon breath at the other party.
There was a loud bang, and Asmat's body was instantly blown to pieces, and the ground under his feet turned into a huge deep pit.
Seeing this, Alvis couldn't help but sneer:
"That's it? He's still called a great sage! Krober actually said this enemy was quite powerful, but it turns out he couldn't even withstand a single breath from Emerald."
Then, he used his powerful mental power to scan the surroundings and made sure that there was no sign of any living life around.
Just as Alvis was about to leave this place, a new figure slowly condensed from the mud beside the deep pit.
He turned out to be the great sage Asmat whose body had been shattered.
"Alvis...Your Majesty? That should be the title, right?"
Asmat's figure was condensed, he slowly dusted himself off, and continued:
"I am merely a useless clone created by my original body through a spell. I have no fighting power at all. My mission is to use the spell to stay here and contain you. Attacking a clone won't affect the operation of this spell."
At this time, Asmat's body was still in the Silent Death Ritual, and this illusion array was one of his special means to delay Alvis.
"Ritual?"
It was the first time that Alvis heard this unfamiliar word, but he quickly guessed that it should be something similar to the magic in his original world.
"Yes, this is the technique."
Asmat explained with a smile:
"It is a special way of using force that can be exerted through specific methods and materials."
"Anyone who possesses a certain level of soul power can learn and master this power."
Alvis frowned:
"So, you all use this so-called technique to fight?"
Asmat shook his head.
"That's not always the case. Everyone has different abilities and fighting styles, but the technique is indeed a method we often use."
Alvis thought to himself, if this is their way of fighting, then he must understand and adapt to it as soon as possible.
Otherwise, we will be in a passive situation when facing these unknown enemies.
"In that case, let me see what's so powerful about this technique!"
A glimmer of determination flashed in Alvis's eyes, and he decided to challenge Asmat's technique head-on to understand its power and characteristics.
“???”
Asmat's clone frowned.
"Did you misunderstand something?"
"ah?"
"I just told you, I have no fighting ability, and this illusion is just to delay you. As long as you break it, you can leave here naturally."
Asmat's clone felt speechless. It seemed to understand why the original body had to create it.
Just like the guiding NPC!
Eh?
What is a guide NPC?
Why did this concept suddenly pop into my mind?
"Huh? Really?"
Alvis rubbed his head with a headache.
He is just a knight who can only ride a dragon and fight. Magic is nothing to him - he knows nothing about it!
The Emerald Kingdom also employs many magicians.
There are also many master-level ones among them.
But the problem is, he didn't bring that group of magicians to participate in the war this time!
"Forget it, rely on yourself."
Alvis was determined to study this so-called "technique" carefully.
After studying it for about a minute, he handed this important task to the Emerald Dragon.
“....."
"I really want to sever our contract with you!!"
The Emerald Dragon raised its right front paw, considering whether to give Alvis a slap.
However, after careful consideration, it decided to focus on dispelling the illusion.
Just as they and their dragon were trying to break the illusion, the two dragon knight reconnaissance teams encountered a crisis.
————
"No way, why is this mist dragon's attack ineffective?!"
Quartz Dragon Knight Kugel said while panting.
Ocean awareness is on top!
He Kugel really tried his best!
He used dragon breath, hand-to-hand combat, and the power of qi and blood.
But the fog dragon on the opposite side was not hurt at all!
Every time his attack was about to touch the opponent, the opponent's body would suddenly dissipate.
The fighting consumed a lot of their physical strength and magic power.
"No...why do I feel a little confused?"
Kugel's magic power consumption was relatively high, so he left the battle group early and ran to the back to recover his physical strength and magic power.
But as time went on, he found that the speed of his magic power recovery was almost half as slow, and his head was in a state of confusion and chaos.
