When I gathered the fireball, I clearly felt the magic power surging within and merging into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the power of the fireball is significantly larger than usual; it should be close to the strength of a fourth-ring spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the gathering speed is a bit slow! The firing speed of the fireball is also quite slow, but overall, it’s stronger than those previous failures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well done! I remember you’re called Ah Lumu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant dragon rubbed the scales on its chin and turned to speak to a nearby caster who appeared to be nearly forty years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the caster immediately showed a delighted expression and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honorable Land! This improvement is thanks to the help of many colleagues! Without them, I couldn’t have achieved this by myself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was full of pride and confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the fifth caster to submit an improved spell, and his was the best among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he wasn’t exceptionally outstanding among all casters, but he collaborated with other equally ordinary casters in research, which made his improvement leap temporarily to the forefront.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although it’s good, it’s still far from my expected outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If no one can surpass your result, I’ll first give you a portion of Gold Taler as a reward!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, generous giant dragon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The caster showed a satisfied smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other casters all showed a hint of envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, hey, hey, is this considered good? It looks weak! To be honest, Land, you don’t really need to learn such spells! It’s far inferior to your breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, they’ve only made this kind of thing in a month, these humans are really too incompetent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, a different voice appeared, and a Xiao Female Dragon looked at the casters with disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a pure red dragon who revered her own power and really despised spellcasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made several casters on one side a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were secretly angry in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little dragon kid, what’s with her? Why is her mouth so foul?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does she mean by calling us incompetent? If you’re so great, why don’t you do it yourself? Why spend money to hire us?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Black Dragon grinned on the side, seemingly also unimpressed by such spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land lightly glanced at the foolish Xiao Female Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly spat at her face, giving her a wash, realizing she might have said something wrong, she quickly retreated silently, activating stealth mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the casters continued to submit their own works, but one by one, none were even as good as Ah Lumu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This slightly disappointed Land, but it was still acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least it proved that even slightly talented casters gathering together did have some effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps with more time, if one year doesn’t work, then two years, or five years if two don’t work, or even ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would they eventually research the spell he needs?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a giant dragon, his lifespan is long, and he can afford to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was ready to accept failure in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Land! Try mine next!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice pulled him back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land glanced at him, messy and somewhat yellowish hair, an ordinary blue mage’s robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy, isn’t he that daring caster named Amos?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land had a deep impression of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually took the sheet of paper from him and began to examine it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he looked, the more interested he became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy modified the skill model so significantly, he actually changed the Fireball Skill from the original 189 nodes to a full 287 nodes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A full 30-40 more nodes than other casters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But overall, it still had some commonality with other skill models.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made it very easy for him to condense the skill model in his mental sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he began to experiment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the slightly opened dragon mouth, accompanied by a gentle inhalation, scarlet ionic streams surged, and a fireball rapidly expanded until it reached a diameter of one meter and then shot out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of meters away, the fireball landed, instantly scattering into countless flames, covering at least seventy meters around completely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The raging sea of fire burned the sparse grass to ashes, and the ground turned a fiery red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, the caster named Ah Lumu’s expression dramatically changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land’s eyes brightened, making an evaluation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your improved spell, in terms of performance, far exceeds Ah Lumu’s! Not only is the power stronger, equivalent to fifth-ring spells, but the spellcasting speed and the fireball’s flying speed are also much faster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did you do this alone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land asked in amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! Lord Land, I did this all by myself.\" Amos bowed slightly with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to be in a particularly good mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clap, clap, clap...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Land stood upright, gently clapping his forelimbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is truly unexpected from a dragon, one person achieved what several others couldn’t, to put it simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You... are a genius! That’s great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your praise, Lord Land!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However... this still hasn’t reached the level that satisfies me, Amos!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course! In fact, this spell still has many areas that need modification, it’s just that time was too rushed, and what you see before you is still an unfinished product.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Not bad! Not bad! Although I don’t know what your finished product will be like, I would like to suggest some requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you can accomplish them all, I definitely won’t be stingy with your reward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, the fireball combined with the Dragon Breath shouldn’t have a limit! Do you understand this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should have unlimited possibilities as the magic power gathers! Unlimited power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might think of ways to stack and increase the magic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, during the explosion, don’t you think the impact force generated is too weak?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In my view, this aspect might be closer to the Flame Burst Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using flame impact to inflict dual damage on the enemy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1210,"2026-06-06T02:00:51.835Z",1,"novelbin.me","0efbccdf3b0047ddb6c9baeddf614220e3db106b826a7fdce5d63b334c7b311f","dragon-of-catastrophe-chapter-77","dragon-of-catastrophe-chapter-75",673,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdragon-of-catastrophe-cover.jpg"]
