Chapter 370: Phantom Dragon

"Is this a magical artifact?"

Angela looked at the object across from her with confusion: "It doesn't seem quite like ordinary magical artifacts. How is it used?"

"It's made from the bones and dragon soul of a lord-level black dragon."

Li Mochen said with a smile: "After you leave your spiritual imprint, try to imagine that you have a lord-level black dragon as a servant or companion. You should know the shape and characteristics of a black dragon, right? If you haven't seen one, that's fine. Visualize them based on pictures you've seen and descriptions in books, and try to get as close to a young lord-level black dragon as possible."

Angela was puzzled but also filled with anticipation. Following Li Mochen's instructions, she imprinted her divine consciousness onto the pendant's interior and then began to visualize.

The next moment, a massive black dragon began to appear beside Angela. At first it was illusory, but in just an instant, it gained a measure of 'substance'.

—An elegant and powerful dragon body, thick and strong limbs, sharp and clean claws and fangs, pure black metallic-looking reflective scales, huge pale golden dragon eyes, and a soul-shaking dragon might that made Lina·Eidrich catch her breath.

Li Mochen thought to himself that it was over, realizing he had underestimated the combined effect of Angela's spiritual power and the necklace. The dragon's size was larger than he had imagined.

At that moment, the wall beside them made a 'bang' sound, and Hazel's body burst in like a shadow or lightning.

"A-Mo~"

She thought an enemy had invaded, but when she saw the scene inside the room, she was stunned. At that moment, as the dragon's body fully materialized from the void, the hundred-square-meter magic practice room was forcibly torn apart. The defensive array inside the gymnasium activated immediately, but under the pressure of the dragon's body, it only resisted briefly before collapsing.

"Is this mental manifestation?"

Hazel looked up and down at the black dragon and then at Angela in surprise: "Did she visualize it?"

It even has lord-level dragon might. I wonder how the dragon body itself fares in combat? But this woman is only a seventh-level illusionist.

At this moment, Angela opened her eyes in delight: "It's almost like the real thing! Does it also have lord-level combat power?"

"It only has the form for now. At most, it's level sixteen or seventeen, with only the dragon might approaching lord level."

Li Mochen told the truth: "But Angela, you can use some magical artifacts to strengthen your spiritual power. Also, 'Heavenly Mind Divine Illumination' can increase your mental power by one to two times. Stacked together, this dragon's combat power should approach lord level. Moreover, the more you know about black dragons and the more detailed and realistic your visualization, the stronger it becomes."

Angela's eyes lit up. The methods Li Mochen mentioned were not difficult for her.

"—In addition, this artifact can grow on its own. You can spend some time each day washing and refining it with your mental power. Within about a year or two, it can grow to lord level five. With high-grade spiritual medicines, the process can be accelerated. But for higher levels, you'll need semi-divine or even divine dragon blood to nourish it and cause a qualitative change."

"It can evolve?"

Lina was also shocked. She looked at Li Mochen with some skepticism: "Did you really design this and make it yourself?"

Is this guy also this skilled in alchemy?

If what Li Mochen said was true, wouldn't this pendant rival a holy artifact?

No, ordinary holy artifacts couldn't give Angela combat power comparable to 20S level.

As for semi-divine or divine dragon blood, it might be very difficult for others to collect, but for the Medici family, it was a piece of cake.

"Even now, it surpasses many holy artifacts. This is truly a genius idea."

Angela reached out a hand and stroked the dragon, which had lain down under her command. The cold touch from her fingertips and the dragon's heartbeat filled her with joy.

It was all visualized by her, but seeing the actual effect made her 'believe' in her visualization even more.

"Lina, have Rosia find a place—spacious and sturdy. I want to see the actual effect."

"Understood—"

Lina agreed readily. She also wanted to see the black dragon in actual combat.

But the next scene left her speechless.

"A-Mo, this must be the best and most precious gift I've ever received. By the way, what's its name?"

"I named it 'Phantom Dragon Control'."

Li Mochen naturally wrapped his arm around Angela's waist: "If you're not satisfied, Angela, you can name it yourself."

...

Li Mochen didn't let Angela go outside to find a place. Instead, he had her take Lina to the demiplane of the Necropolis Magic Tower.

Coincidentally, another creator of this item, Anthony·Brayden, also wanted to see its final effect. The demiplane not only had enough space but also three lord-level bone dragons as opponents for Angela.

Li Mochen also watched for a while. He had to admit that 'Phantom Dragon Control' fully achieved the effect he and Anthony had intended. Although Angela couldn't yet visualize a complete black dragon and hadn't used artifacts to strengthen her mental power, the dragon's combat power had indeed reached level seventeen across the board. And the black dragon's combat power was among the top of all beasts at the same level, that is, 17S.

"Very good! This gives me some inspiration that I can apply to Light Demon No. 6."

Anthony was also very pleased: "A-Mo, I think you can give the design to Michelle. That guy also works part-time as an illusionist. Though he doesn't have Angela's powerful talent, his strength is still quite good."

"Michelle? I'll give a copy to Angela later. But—"

Li Mochen asked with great curiosity: "I'm actually very curious about Angela's situation—her mental power, her special physique, even her divine favor. Anthony, you should know the reason, right?"

"Didn't you have Jemire investigate? This matter is actually known to many who are familiar with their family."

Anthony glanced at Li Mochen in surprise, then understood and sneered: "Don't want to go through Jemire's channels, huh? Want to hear it from Angela herself? Boring emotions. Angela's mother, Diana·Olivia, is a legendary dragon-blooded sorcerer. And her bloodline comes from the first 'Dream Dragon' mutated from an emerald dragon in this world, the current 'Dream Dragon God' Olivia. Diana was deeply beloved by Olivia and was her chosen."
