    How to destroy Abraham Moonlight Silver’s mental imprint—Liszt already had a plan.

    He seized the moment when his opponent was distracted with adjusting the dragon lance lodged in his bones, glancing at the swirling smoke still clinging to him. His mind raced and he muttered, “This isn’t a dragon knight’s duel—it’s just a swordsman’s brawl. The perfect chance to wipe out that mental imprint!”

    His eyes gleamed as his will guided the fate-infused smoke: “Then, I want an indestructible Dragonfang Blade!”

    Boom!

    The smoke surged toward the greatsword, and the flame-wreathed blade instantly transformed into a jagged, triangular greatsword, its blazing aura flaring hotter.

    What a Dragonfang Blade looked like, Liszt didn’t know—he’d never laid eyes on one.

    But he’d seen how sharp Leo’s teeth were. He could imagine what a divine weapon forged from dragon fangs should be like.

    And so, this flame-wreathed Dragonfang Blade came into being.

    Feeling the immense power of the weapon in his grasp, a calm, elegant smirk returned to his lips as he faced Abraham, who had regained his stance and charged again: “You’re just a dragon knight without a dragon. As for me? Even without Leo at my side, I command even greater strength!”

    He raised his sword.

    Swung it.

    Struck!

    Thunk!

    The tip of Abraham’s dragon lance was sheared clean off by the flame-wreathed Dragonfang Blade. Then, with a flurry of slashes, Liszt shattered the entire lance into fragments before delivering a final blow—a crescent of fire cleaving Abraham in half.

    Amplified by fate power, the conjured Dragonfang Blade was unstoppable—the mental imprint of the First Dragon Knight was hopelessly outclassed.

    Stepping over the gory, halved corpse, Liszt lifted his flame-wreathed Dragonfang Blade, ready to slaughter the sleeping Lightgreen Gem Dragon. But suddenly, the fallen halves of the Dragon Knight’s body melted away.

    And there, standing once more before him, was Abraham Moonlight Silver—wielding his five-meter-long dragon lance and wordlessly lunging forward.

    “Hm?”

    Liszt was startled but not shaken—this was the mental world, after all; anything could happen. Dodging the furious assault, he pounced on the opening and swung his Dragonfang Blade with resounding force, cutting through Abel and his spear like a hot knife through butter.

    He glanced at the corpse at his feet, then at the now-empty space where the previous body had lain.

    His thoughts whirled: “Can the mental imprint infinitely regenerate in the mental world?”

    As if answering his question, the body vanished before his eyes—and Abraham stood before him again.

    Not a word spoken.

    Thrust! Strike!

    Faced with what seemed like an infinitely regenerating mental imprint, Liszt remained calm, growling under his breath, “I don’t believe it!”

    Clang!

    Another few strikes shattered the foe!

    The body split apart, crashing to the ground before vanishing—only for the Dragon Knight to reappear yet again.

    But no matter how many times Abraham Moonlight Silver’s mental imprint revived, Liszt’s response was always the same—raise his blade and carve through him!

    After several strikes, Abraham's form gradually began to fade.

    Liszt now knew his choice was correct: "If one strike isn't enough, then strike a few more times. Even the mental avatar of an evil dragon can be destroyed, let alone the mental imprint of a dragon-less Dragon Knight!"

    Crash!

    After slaying Abraham twenty times in a row, his figure finally dimmed to the point of near-insubstantiality. Liszt held nothing back. Despite feeling mentally exhausted, he charged forward for the twenty-first time and struck down Abraham.

    Boom!

    The faint form shattered, leaving no corpse behind. He waited for a long time, but Abraham never reappeared.

    "Whew."

    Realizing the mental imprint was fully wiped out, Liszt steadied his emotions and leaped onto the Lightgreen Gem Dragon's body, climbing along its scales until he reached its head.

    No more mental imprints came to stop him.

    He raised the already cracked Dragon Tooth Blade and, without hesitation, slashed downward—schlick! Half of the dragon's head was sliced open. The unconscious Lightgreen Gem Dragon seemed to sense the pain, its entire body convulsing. The green gem beneath its feet cracked and shattered, while the surrounding wine-like liquid churned and bones sank endlessly.

    The mental world seemed to be collapsing.

    But Liszt remained unmoved. He continued raising his sword and hacking away, brutally cleaving the massive dragon's head in two.

    Boom!

    The Lightgreen Gem beneath his feet shattered completely, and the Lightgreen Gem Dragon crumbled along with it. Liszt lost his footing and fell, but soon landed on solid ground. As the shattered green gems and the dragon's corpse vanished, the entire mental world transformed into a new scene.

    A flawless, pale green gem floated serenely in the bone-steeped wine sea.

    On the gem, another unconscious Lightgreen Gem Dragon appeared, with the Dragon Tooth Blade exposed, as if calling to him. Guided by an unseen force, Liszt walked forward and, within the mental world, took position on the Dragon Tooth Platform once more. In an instant, their consciousnesses merged as one.

    ...

    Moonlight, Green Shadow, Thunder's Wrath, Spiral, Stonebreaker, Forest, Phantom.

    Seven powerful Dragon Knight attack techniques flashed through his mind, unstoppable and mighty.

    At some point, Liszt had exited the Lightgreen Gem Dragon's mental world. As he gazed at the unconscious dragon and felt the wondrous mental connection between them, he also processed the benefits from riding the dragon—the Dragon Aura Manual!

    When inheriting a Dragon Knight's mount, one could receive the Dragon Aura Manual passed down by the dragon.

    After erasing the First Dragon Knight's mental imprint, Liszt had also obtained the dragon-transmitted Dragon Aura Manual—one unique to the Lightgreen Gem Dragon. Perfected through generations of Dragon Knights, it contained seven powerful techniques and numerous foundational details.

    Though it could only be used in conjunction with the Lightgreen Gem Dragon, many of its mana circulation methods could be adapted.

    "Now that I have both the Sapphire Dragon Knight's Dragon Aura Manual and the Lightgreen Gem Dragon Knight's Dragon Aura Manual, crafting a Fire Dragon Knight's Dragon Aura Manual would be child's play!"

    Confirming that the Dragon Aura Manual was imprinted in his mind, Liszt let out a heavy breath. Suppressing his mental exhaustion, he stepped down from the Dragon Tooth Platform—the Lightgreen Gem Dragon was now his. Once it recovered, he could ride it across the skies and display its formidable power.

    This was a fully grown dragon. With a few training sessions, he would become a full-fledged Dragon Knight!

    However...

    A furious roar from Leo suddenly echoed in his mind: "GRRROOOAAARR!"

    It was challenging Liszt's perceived betrayal, expressing intense anger at his nerve in riding another dragon. Without an explanation, it would go berserk.

    Liszt had his response ready: "Leo, don't worry. You're my one true battle partner! I only intend to treat it as a dragon for resource production." Though Leo wasn't fully grown yet, an Elemental Dragon was destined to become the most powerful Dragon Knight—and he was Liszt's very first dragon.

    Both emotionally and rationally, Leo remained the best partner in his heart.

    "Oh roar!"

    "Ten more magic potions for you!"

    "Rawr!"

    "Another ten!"

    "Grr!"

    "Thirty roasted cows!"

    "Roar!"

    "Don't push your luck. If you're still not satisfied, you'll get nothing!"

    "Oh roar..." Leo finally relented. Getting such generous resources from the tight-fisted Liszt was already a victory. As for that Lightgreen Gem Dragon, Leo couldn't care less—if he could take it down once, he could do it again. It wouldn't stand a chance!
