A month later, in the Dragon's Array guild, Elrathielia couldn't help but praise George:
"You're truly a prodigy in magic study. Even I, in my youth, took three years to learn the Dragon Slayer spell, but you've mastered it in just one month."
It seems your race is not ordinary!"
George is a magic cat he has never seen before, not human. He may have extraordinary magical talents that are beyond human to learn the theoretical knowledge of Dragon Slayer spell so quickly.
"Probably."
George nodded indifferently.
His ability to learn the theoretical knowledge of Dragon Slayer spell within a month has nothing to do with his magical talent in this body.
As for Hobbit, it can be seen that the magical cat race should have no special magical talent, just skilled in flight magic.
The reason he could learn so quickly is mainly because he has been using the minds of all his clones to focus exclusively on learning the theory of the Dragon Slayer spell for the past month.
"Next, I will take you to the Great Maze of Earth Dragon. By absorbing the dragon power of Earth Dragon as a trigger, you will be able to use the dragon power of Earth Dragon to become an Earth Dragon Slayer, and you can enhance magic power by eating soil."
Elrathielia activated the teleportation magic with George and made several instantaneous movements in succession, appearing at the entrance of a huge underground maze.
Whether through self-study like him, or with the dragon's personal instruction, or by embedding dragon crystals, fundamentally, one needs to use the dragon's dragon power as a trigger to become a Dragon Slayer mage.
Dragon personal guidance is when the dragon actively injects its dragon power into a person's body. Using dragon crystals is absorbing the dragon power within the crystals. Self-study involves adding Dragon Slayer magic to absorb a small portion of dragon power from a dragon.
So the premise is still that there needs to be a dragon present; it's impossible to obtain dragon power out of thin air.
He became a Dragon Slayer Mage of the Law Dragon because he secretly absorbed some of the dragon power of the Law Dragon in his youth. The information about the Black Dragon and the Five Holy Dragons also came from that Law Dragon.
Agreeing to stay in the castle and learn some Dragon Slayer magic with George was because he sealed the Earth Dragon. If George can truly learn the theoretical knowledge, he can come to absorb the dragon power of Earth Dragon.
"Just absorb the dragon power at the entrance."
After sending George to the entrance, Elrathielia teleported back to the Dragon's Array guild.
However, George did not follow Elrathielia's command and immediately sat down to absorb the dragon power of Earth Dragon, completing the final step to become a Dragon Slayer mage.
Through a month of interacting with Elrathielia, he has gained a more detailed understanding of the dragon race and Dragon Slayer magic and other aspects.
Actually, among the dragons who fled from the Eastern Continent to the Northern Continent, there are six of the most powerful dragons. They are respectively the Golden Dragon, Wooden Dragon, Water Dragon, Fire Dragon, Earth Dragon, and Moon Dragon.
The Earth Dragon is the weakest among the six holy dragons, so it is not his first target.
The key is that the earth magic has no special enhancement for him, and it feels rather uncool to gulp down a mouthful of earth during battle to boost his Dragon Slayer magic.
His first choice is actually the dragon power of the Fire Dragon and the Wooden Dragon, which can be transformed into a Fire Dragon Slayer or a Wooden Dragon Slayer.
In the Middle Earth and Harry Potter worlds, the embedded dragon crystals are all fire attribute. If this world is also developing towards Fire Dragon Slayer, his Fire Dragon Slayer magic power will undoubtedly have a significant improvement.
If he chooses water, there's a chance that the fusion might fail due to the different attributes.
With gold, the added effects are uncertain, and the Golden Dragon is too mysterious that even Elrathielia doesn't know its name. So even if he uses a tracking spell, he can't find it.
The Moon Dragon is known by name, but its attribute is unclear. Moreover, he tried to track it with a tracking spell, but couldn't find it.
It could be that it's already dead, or it's been sealed away, or it has anti-tracking properties, or simply isn't in the same space. There are many possibilities, so he gave up.
If he chooses wood, according to his understanding, wood can generate fire, and this will have a strong enhancement for fire magic.
It should be able to merge with the dragons from the other two worlds, not only can he use powerful Fire Dragon Slayer magic, but also Wood Dragon Slayer magic.
In addition, wood symbolizes life, and becoming a Wood Dragon Slayer mage should significantly enhance vitality.
With vitality significantly increased, he wouldn't have to worry about backlash from using the elven law. If he really overuses it, eating a few thousand-year-old trees should help him recover quickly.
At the same time, he was learning life magic from the elves in Middle Earth. With the physique of a Wood Dragon Slayer mage, he should be able to speed up his learning pace.
Of course, whether it will turn out exactly as he imagines or not, that's something to be slowly verified later.
Now the difficult part is that even if it's not to kill and seal the Five Holy Dragons, but just to sneak up and absorb some of their dragon power around their bodies, it's probably not going to be that easy.
So his plan is to try first. If it works, that's great. If not, he still has the sealed Earth Dragon as a backup.
In the worst case, he can always come back and start absorbing the dragon power of Earth Dragon again. Eating soil is soil, and it's not like it will make much difference.
Maybe in the future when he becomes stronger, he can try to mix and absorb the dragon powers of different kinds, maybe even evolve into an attribute like the Black Dragon that can consume all magic and absorb it as magical power to enhance himself.
According to Elrathielia's introduction, the Black Dragon was so powerful because it could ignore any magic.
He finally understood why Kildas's powerful Shatter Magic, when aimed at the Black Dragon, caused no damage at all.
Because the Shatter Magic is swallowed by the Black Dragon when it touches it, what hits the Black Dragon is just pure fists.
To defeat the Black Dragon, one must rely on physical attacks.
Moreover, he has obtained some more accurate information about dragon crystals.
Embedding dragon crystals does indeed allow one to become a Dragon Slayer mage without having to study high-level Dragon Slayer magic, as they can rely on the dragon power within the crystals to directly become a Dragon Slayer mage. However, dragon crystals will simultaneously suppress the dragon seed, even if the dragon power is developed to its maximum potential, it will not transform into a dragon.
That means, theoretically, only he and Naz, Gajiru, and perhaps they will be able to dragonize into powerful great dragons in the future. Laxus can at most become a dragon in human form.
So if he doesn't plan to become a powerful great dragon through dragonization, but instead uses Anima Materia transformation, he can stop dragonization by embedding a dragon crystal in his body before full transformation.
However, for a Dragon Slayer mage like Laxus, if he removes the dragon crystal, he will no longer be able to use Dragon Slayer magic.
And for himself and Naz, Gajiru, they do not have this drawback.
"Direction Appearance, Yggnia!"
Using a tracking spell to trace the footsteps of the Fire Dragon, George flapped his wings and flew out along the golden arrow.
