Chapter 56 The Storm Calls! Was I not crazy enough after all?!

Chapter 56 The Storm Calls! Was I not crazy enough after all?!
At that moment, Charles looked into the distance.
Because he was flying in the air, and because of the dragons' exceptional eyesight, his field of vision was dozens of times larger than when he first came to R'lyeh.
He could already see that the edge of the ancient city of R'lyeh in the farthest distance seemed to be beginning to appear unreal.
The illusion was gradually spreading toward the beach where he was.
This undoubtedly sent a signal to Charles.
The buffet's time limit is almost up; it's time to close the buffet!
The anxiety in Charles's eyes intensified.
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer..."
"I can still eat! I can still eat! Let me have a little more!"
Ten million points is already an extremely large number.
But there are countless places where Charles needs to use deduction points.
Deducing dragon language magic in ancient dragon form is a bottomless pit, often costing millions.
This is only Shire's first Animagus. When he obtains his second and third Animagus, the cost will be no less.
Furthermore, the magic Animagus itself can be deduced four or five more times.
These are all astronomical sums of money.
Shire also had a bunch of very useful wizard spells that he had no idea how to deduce.
The more deduction points you have, the more you feel you don't have enough.
Every moment of his time in R'lyeh was precious to the Shire.
If we don't eat our fill this time, who knows when we'll be able to come back to R'lyeh again?
What if Daq gets smart and stops dragging you in?
What if R'lyeh also blocks me?
Therefore, without even a moment's hesitation, Charles decided to make a big move in these last moments!
His orange dragon eyes were filled with madness.
"Deep Blue, build upon the destructive torrent and propel it in a direction with a wider scope and greater power..."
"Three simulations!"
In that instant, the total number of projection points, which had previously soared to ten million, plummeted to the bottom like a roller coaster.
But what followed was a deafening dragon roar that seemed to come from above the clouds, amidst the dark clouds and raging storm.
In Xia Er's dragon eyes, he seemed to see an ancient dragon bathed in storms and lightning, spreading its wings to cover the sky, its body swirling and flying, emitting a dragon roar that sounded like a natural disaster.
Then came the storm that swept across the sea, enough to create giant waves hundreds or thousands of meters high, like a cataclysmic disaster!
In Xia Er's mind, he understood the meaning contained in that dragon's roar.
Power, wind, call, destruction...
The power of the vastness is like a natural disaster!
Compared to this dragon language magic, the destructive torrent just now seemed like a small matter!
The next moment, a deep blue mechanical notification sounded in Xia Er's mind.
"As requested by the host, conduct three simulations of the destructive force, scope, and direction on the destructive torrent."
"The host has acquired the Ancient Dragon Sky faction's dragon language magic - Storm Call."
"With the roar of the ancient dragon, the power of nature is shaken, and the most violent storm is unleashed over a wide area."
"A fully grown ancient dragon's Storm Summoning is enough to destroy a small city!"
Even though he had personally experienced the power of dragon language magic, at this moment, Sharl was still shocked by the power of the ancient dragon.
After three simulations, he obtained magic capable of destroying cities.
What about the fourth and fifth simulations?
This terrifying race is only mentioned in fragments in wizarding books.
In what wizards call the ancient times, the ancient dragon race had already declined. It is said that the surviving ancient dragons are not worth mentioning compared to the powerful beings among the ancient dragon race.
Even so, the few times the wizards faced the ancient dragon, they left behind an unshakable and invincible record of fear.
So, how exactly did the Ancient Dragon race decline?
Such a question arose in Charles's mind, but he suppressed it in an instant.
This is not something he can think about right now, and besides, now is not the time to think about it.
I spent tens of millions of prediction points, all in order to recoup my investment many times over!
At this moment, the illusory area in the distance is spreading rapidly, and at an ever-increasing speed.
Charles dared not delay for a moment, spreading his wings and circling in the air.
A deep, resonant dragon roar echoed continuously from his mouth.
If someone here knew dragon language magic, they would be able to understand the meaning of the dragon roar coming from Sharl's mouth.
"Wind, heed my command!"
Ancient Dragon Sky-type Dragon Language Magic: Storm Call!
When the full Storm Summoning Dragon Shout came from the Char's mouth, a rumbling thunderclap exploded in the sky.
What followed was a storm zone that covered an area of about one mile in radius.
The most extreme winds on record swept across the region.
The heavy, black reefs, like rags, were swept into the sky by the storm.
The black, oil-viscous seawater gradually surged in this area, creating waves tens of meters high.
One wave after another surged forward, each one higher than the last, like ferocious, monstrous hands trying to drag the Charles down from the sky.
Even the seabed in the shallows was ripped up in large swathes of pebbles and debris by the strong winds.
Within a mile radius, the air was thick with blackness, filled with black water droplets and pebbles swirling and flying at high speed.
If anyone enters this area, they will be instantly ground to dust, even their bones will be crushed.
Even fire dragons would suffer torture comparable to slow slicing in this vast region.
In reality, this area would be a death zone!
At this moment, Charles was circling and flying above this forbidden zone of death.
The roars of dragons echoed throughout the land.
Reverse the breath, reverse the breath!
Within the forbidden zone of death, long black dragons roared, drawn by Xia Er's Reverse Breath Dragon Roar, flying towards his location and entering his mouth, transforming into points in the Deep Blue System that began to surge once again.
One million, two million, five million...
Ten million, twenty million, thirty million!
When the points skyrocketed to 35 million, the distant illusion was just a moment away.
Instantly, Charles let out a wail.
"don't want!"
"I don't want to leave!"
"Why don't you let me stay? Your beach has been neglected for so long, it's rotten and smelly. I can help you clean the beach and keep it clean, as long as you provide food and lodging!"
"If that doesn't work, can I just buy up an entire beach...?"
Before he could finish speaking, the scene of R'lyeh in the dream vanished from the Shire's sight.
Before him lay the familiar Leaky Cauldron bar room.
Charles jumped out of bed, his face filled with grief.
"No, my R'lyeh, how can I live without you!"
"No matter how beautiful the golden sunlight is, it can't compare to the green sun of R'lyeh."
"No matter how beautiful the azure sea is, it cannot compare to the viscous black seawater of R'lyeh."
"The beaches of R'lyeh are the most beautiful I've ever seen..."
"Leaving R'lyeh, everything is so bleak. Please give me a chance to go back!"
After a long sigh, Charles had no choice but to accept the fact that he had temporarily left R'lyeh.
What's done is done, and lamenting won't change anything.
One must be strong.
A resolute look appeared in Charles's eyes.
"Why should I be the one to go in first, like Dakra?"
"Isn't this choking me? How can the core technology for accessing R'lyeh be in Dark's hands?"
"I absolutely have to break through this!"
He began to focus his thoughts, recalling his two separate experiences entering the dream world of R'lyeh.
The first time was when he escaped from Dark's basement. He had not eaten or drunk for a long time and had also released the Eternal Blazing Sun Curse to increase his burden. He fainted as soon as he escaped.
The second time was when he chased after the group of wizards who stole the fire dragon materials, which exhausted him. He finished with an Eternal Sun Spell and was quite tired and wanted to rest.
Charles's eyes gradually brightened.
"Both of these incidents occurred when I was in a bad mental state."
"When I'm in a good state, even when I'm asleep, Dark doesn't pull me into sleep."
"Could it be that entering the dream world of R'lyeh is related to my mental state?"
"The worse my condition, the easier it is for Dark to pull me into R'lyeh..."
"This shows that the key to entering R'lyeh lies in the spirit."
As he thought of this, a thoughtful expression appeared on Charles's face.
"Even when I'm unconscious, I can't enter R'lyeh on my own; I still need Dakra to get in."
"On what grounds?"
"Why is Dark able to stay in R'lyeh indefinitely?"
"Could it be because our mental states are different...?"
In an instant, it was as if Charles had grasped the key.
From the first time he met Dark, he felt that there was a kind of chilling madness about Dark.
Dak also claimed that he could hear the ancients whispering in his ear.
After taking the sublimation potion, during Ciel's escape from the basement, Dark seemed to become even more deranged, roaring that he had succeeded and that he had witnessed those great beings once again...
Recalling these things, Charles suddenly realized.
"I see."
"So it's because I'm not crazy enough!"
"If I could become as insane as Dark in the end, perhaps I could also freely enter R'lyeh, or a place similar to R'lyeh."
A slow, wide smile spread across Ciel's lips.
Even a normal person might not be able to become as insane as Darko, even if they develop a mental illness.
Is Charles a normal person?
He has deep blue!
Isn't the point to be even more insane?
In the deep blue, anything is possible!
Charles searched his mind for knowledge related to changing the brain and mind, and finally a name came to mind.
"Brain Occupation".
"In the original work, this thing can control one's brain and mind, allowing one to focus on what one wants to think about."
"Even if someone is subjected to Legilimency, they can still control what they want to see and even fabricate false information."
"So, what if I used Deep Blue to push the Occlumency technique to its absolute limit, to the point that I could freely control the appearance of those insane visions that Dark mentioned in my mind?"
"I'm already this crazy, how could R'lyeh not let me in?!"
Thinking of this, the smile on Charles's face grew wider and wider.
Because during his upcoming first year at Hogwarts, the two most powerful Legilimency masters in the wizarding world will gather in the castle.
The Dark Lord and the White Lord—no one is stronger than them when it comes to mind control and mind manipulation.
Their mastery of mental magic is self-evident.
Meanwhile, Hogwarts also has a master of Occlumency—Snape.
Snape's Occlumency was among the strongest in the wizarding world, as he was able to deceive Voldemort's Legilimency.
Ciel should be able to gather a lot of material on Legilimency and Occlumency from them.
By then, four, five, or even six simulations of the brain shut-off procedure should be achievable.
Charles refused to believe that he could go mad like Darke!
"Dark, we'll meet again, we definitely will."
"You, and those ancients you worship, will not be able to shut me out."
"You can't get rid of me!"
