Chapter 27 The Demon Who Knew Martial Arts and Magic
The two of them had not looked at Li Mo since they entered the room, as if he did not exist. Melia did not notice the conflicted expression on Li Mo’s face. She said to herself, “This is Rancho. He specializes in fire magic, and he is a senior sorcerer.”
The man called Rancho took a step forward. He bent his right hand and placed it on his heart. He bowed slightly to Li Mo.
“This is Leisha, a senior sorcerer who specializes in lightning magic.” Leisha also took a small step forward and placed her hand on her heart, bowing slightly. The two dragon warriors were definitely stronger than any humans. Even if they sent the entire Yass mercenary group, they might not be able to take down these two people. With them by Li Mo’s side, Melia felt assured.
Looking at the two people standing straight like puppets in front of him, Melia’s arrangement would restrict his freedom even after he left.
“Your Majesty, it would attract attention if I were to bring two more people from the Dragon Kingdom.” Li Mo’s words reminded Melia. The skin of a dragon would indeed attract attention from outsiders, but this would not be a problem.
“You’ve reminded me. When the time comes, I’ll get Leisha and the others to bring the medicine specially made by the physician. As long as they take it on time, it will cover up some of the characteristics of the dragon race.”
Hearing Melia’s words, Li Mo frowned slightly, wanting to fight for another chance to act alone.
“Your Majesty, you don’t trust me?”
“It’s not that. With the two of them around, they will ensure your safety, and it will be easier for you to retrieve the Sword of Laszka.” Li Mo could not argue against Melia’s insistence, so he reluctantly agreed to bring the two of them along.
“You will set off early tomorrow morning! Go back and make preparations.”
Rancho and Leisha left after hearing this. Melia was very satisfied with her arrangements. She stood up and pulled Li Mo towards the inner room.
“You were tired last night too. Let’s rest for a while more.”
After lying on the big bed for a few minutes, Melia fell asleep in Li Mo’s arms.
Li Mo closed his eyes tightly. Although he had learned dragon magic during the battle between Melia and Iris, it was too powerful to use it, especially since there were two warriors following him.
Unless it was a last resort, he could not easily use the magic.
He was very clear about the power of unlimited comprehension. That day in the secret room, Vintine from the Yass mercenary group had added magic to the weapon. If he could learn it, then the strength of the Kellin Dagger that Melia gave him would be doubled.
Recalling the time when Vintine had used it, whether it was a dagger or a bow and arrow, to add magic to the weapon, one only needed to chant a simple spell.
However, the strength of one’s own magic directly affected the power of the weapon.
Li Mo opened his eyes and looked at Melia. After making sure that she was in a deep sleep, he picked up the dagger by the bed and mimicked Vintine. He silently chanted the same spell and continuously transferred magic from his body into the dagger.
The dagger felt the influx of magic and began to fidget restlessly in his hand. Li Mo immediately stopped.
He took another look at Melia and found that she was not awakened by the noise, so he put the dagger back to the bedside.
It was easy to buff the weapon with magic, and Li Mo could easily do that. At that time in the secret room, although he had used dragon magic to defeat Vintine, if it was just a contest of strength, there was no doubt that Li Mo would be dead.
Vintine’s knife skills are extremely fast and explosive, with each attack aimed directly at the enemy’s Achilles’ heel.
And each of his movements were controlled and deliberate, it showed how acute he was.
Li Mo meditated with his eyes closed, carefully recalling and analyzing each of Vintine’s movements.
In about half an hour, he had thoroughly analyzed all the martial arts techniques used by Vintine, and he even understood them. With a slight improvement, Li Mo was sure that he could use the same martial arts technique himself, but the power would be several times stronger than Vintine’s.
Raising his hand into a fist, Li Mo felt that his entire body was filled with power. Dragon magic combined with Vintine’s skills made his entire body heat up. Looking at it carefully, he could see that his skin had an unusual red color.
Compared to dragon magic, Vintine’s magic was just ordinary and not as strong. It surged in Li Mo’s body for a few minutes before it stopped.
After digesting all of Vintine’s martial arts skills in his mind, an excited smile appeared on Li Mo’s face.
He was excited not because he had absorbed his skills, but because he had discovered that infinite comprehension talent was not only for learning magic, but also for martial arts.
People in the Saka continent were tested at birth to see if they had magic talent. If they did, they would focus on magic cultivation.
However, those who did not have magical talent would not give up either.
Knowing magic was not required to be a swordsman and assassin. They only needed to strengthen their physical strength and learn martial arts.
For rangers like Vintine, although they used both martial arts and magic, they were not particularly good in either. However, when both were combined, their explosive power increased, so they were suitable for quick battles.
If he wanted to cultivate both magic and martial arts to the extreme, it would take a few decades.
However, the infinite comprehension talent allowed Li Mo to fuse magic and martial arts together within a day. Moreover, he was able to comprehend them thoroughly.
This was simply heaven-defying! With the skills given by the system, cultivating both magic and martial arts was as easy as flipping a coin!
In the past, Li Mo had been tested at birth. He did not have the talent to cultivate magic. He thought that he could become a swordsman, but his body was so weak that he could not even lift an ordinary iron sword.
From then on, he became a complete waste. Except for his beauty, he was not good at anything. It was common for people to make fun of him.
In just a few days, he had upgraded from a good-for-nothing to a demon who knew both magic and martial arts. How could he not be excited?
However, Vintine’s skills were too basic. Such ordinary combat techniques could not satisfy Li Mo’s great ambition. The people of the Dragon Kingdom mainly cultivated magic, so it was basically impossible to find books on martial arts.
Li Mo thought that after leaving the Dragon Kingdom, he must learn more martial arts skills. If he could fuse powerful combat techniques and magic, no one would be able to defeat him in the entire Saka continent!
Li Mo relaxed his body, hugged Melia tightly in his arms, and kissed her face with a smooch before slowly falling into a deep sleep.
