Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web.

Only the three of them were in the silent woods.

“Sandor, magic is real, and I have already obtained this power. Now it's your turn.”

Joffrey was straightforward, making the best choice for the Hound.

The day before yesterday, after he collected the Solidity Rune represented by the black light, the speed of his Rune energy accumulation became four times faster than at the beginning.

Although it was still not quite enough, King's Landing was not far away, and he needed to start preparing.

The runes on the glass candles were probably all auxiliary and not very helpful to the current situation, so he decided to use the Rune energy on his confidants first.

Hannah, who was beside him, also spoke to persuade him, “Thanks to His Highness's grace, I have already obtained the power of magic, look.”

Hannah stretched out her right hand, pressed it against the tree trunk beside her, and activated the Fire magic energy. In just a few breaths, the vibrant tree showed signs of scorching, and then tongues of fire bared their fangs and claws towards the three of them.

The Hound's hair stood on end in an instant, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Fire, his lingering nightmare.

Joffrey was determined to solve this fatal weakness of the Hound.

“Sandor, there's nothing to be afraid of about fire! Magic will make the fire embrace you, like a protective sword, shield, and armor.”

The Crown Prince pressed hard on the Hound's shoulders, “Don't move. This is my order, do not disobey. Accept the power of fire, you will like it.”

The Hound didn't move again after all.

A scorching energy enveloped him, a familiar yet strange feeling, strangely mysterious, as if even his soul was trembling.

Then there was another kind of energy, which didn't seem to have any clear feeling, yet seemed somewhat warm and gentle.

Joffrey was very satisfied with his new creation.

The Hound using fire as a weapon was interesting to think about. He wondered if the Restoration Rune could heal burn scars?

The Fire Rune Mirror Image and the Restoration Rune Mirror Image each consumed 3 units of Rune energy. He also gave Hannah a Fire Rune Mirror Image yesterday, and Joffrey had less than 1 unit of Rune energy remaining.

The Hound gradually came to his senses.

His body was getting hotter and hotter, as if he had been thrown into scorching magma, but there was no pain at all.

Fire!

He remembered the fire basin that Gregor had pressed him into when he was a child. The bright red charcoal scorched his skin and flesh, and amid the sizzling sounds, he smelled the scent of fire and roasted meat. Hell was nothing more than this, right?

The Crown Prince patted him on the shoulder.

“Fire is no longer your enemy, master this power as soon as possible.”

“After returning to King's Landing, you will go north with me to Winterfell. During this time, do not expose the existence of magic.”

Joffrey added meaningfully, “After returning to King's Landing from the North, there will be times when you can use this power.”

The Hound nodded silently.

The changes in the past few days had been too great. He was still used to the previous mode of getting along, where the Crown Prince spoke and he obeyed orders, everything was so simple and straightforward.

When you're a dog, don't think too much, it's not good for anyone.

Roar~

A low and majestic beast's roar suddenly resounded throughout the entire forest.

The Hound immediately became alert.

He stared intently in the direction of the sound, holding his sword in both hands, ready to defend.

“Your Highness, be careful.”

Joffrey put his right hand on the “Dragonflame” he wore at his waist, but he wasn't too nervous.

How could there be wild beasts in a place like this?

He only found it strange.

The Golden Road connected the wealthy Westlands and the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, King's Landing. There was a constant stream of people every day, what kind of beast would be so unwise as to live here?

He soon saw the answer.

It was indeed a wild beast.

Hannah gasped in shock, and the pink cracks on the Hound's burnt left face were stretched so tight that they were almost tearing.

Its head was as tall as a person, and its body length was equal to two people. It was brown and yellow all over, its fur was smooth and shiny, its angular muscles seemed to radiate heat, and the golden pupils in its eyes emitted a sharp gaze like needles.

What Joffrey saw was a beautiful, majestic, and unchallengeable mountain giant lion.

His expression became serious.

A lion bigger than a polar bear, a lion that lived in the heart of the Seven Kingdoms but had never been discovered, was this scientific?

Perhaps it wasn't scientific, but Joffrey knew that there was a mysterious power in this world, and giant lions had indeed existed in the mountains of the Westlands.

The giant lion looked at them and took a step forward.

The three of them were shocked at the same time.

Joffrey quickly drew out “Dragonflame” and communicated with the Fire Rune and Solidity Rune in his body at the same time.

The magic energy he had accumulated in the past few days was already considerable, but looking at the giant lion opposite him, he didn't know if he could successfully hit this agile big cat in battle.

He suddenly realized his weakness.

The power of magic was still only a bud, and he had not grown into a warrior either. In this state, he was no more likely to survive than anyone else.

I'm getting too carried away.

The smooth progress of his magic research in the past few days had made him forget the cruelty of this world. He probably wouldn't forget this lesson now.

“Sandor, try to control that power, fire will help us survive.”

“Hannah, set fire to the surrounding trees.”

“I'll keep an eye on it.”

Could fire scare this kind of beast?

Joffrey kept his eyes fixed on the giant lion, injecting Fire magic energy into the Dragonflame in his hand, and the sword gradually turned red.

The giant lion didn't get any closer.

In an encounter battle in this kind of environment, the defending side had fewer flaws and more reaction time.

The two sides were at a stalemate.

Hannah took the opportunity to fully activate the Fire magic energy.

The fire around them gradually increased, the air became hotter and hotter, and even the light and shadows began to twist slightly.

The giant lion shook its head, and its thick mane danced with it.

From those golden beast eyes, Joffrey seemed to see its comfort and even enjoyment.

Flames ignited on the Hound's sword.

In the face of a huge crisis, he finally put his fear of fire behind him.

The Hound stepped forward and protected the Crown Prince behind him.

“Your Highness, in the name of House Clegane, I will fight to the death.”

He remembered the past events that his grandfather had told him over and over again.

As a kennel master in Casterly Rock, his grandfather was fortunate enough to save Duke Tytos Lannister, who was being chased by a lion one autumn, and lost a leg and three hounds as a result.

The Clegane family, whose coat of arms was three dogs, was born from this.

The Hound grinned.

My lion should be bigger than that one, right? And there are no dogs this time either.

No, I am the Hound.

He raised the flaming sword, calculating the direction and angle of his charge.

The Crown Prince's hand stopped him.

“No, wait a little longer. Time is more beneficial to us.”

The abnormal climate of Westeros had nurtured special vegetation.

Summer would last for several years, and winter was just as long. The trees had long learned to metabolize and cycle according to years rather than seasons.

Now that the summer in the Seven Kingdoms had lasted for nine years, the ground in the forest was covered with dry leaves.

Once a fire started, no one could stop it.

Those who possessed the Fire Rune could use Fire magic energy to resist the damage of the flames, which undoubtedly gave them an advantage.

The fire snake slowly crawled towards the giant lion along the layer of fallen leaves.

I don't believe you won't move this time.

Joffrey was looking forward to it.

But when the flames reached the giant lion's feet, he saw a familiar red light enveloping its body.

How is this possible?!

He saw the light of Fire magic energy and the unique sensitivity to magic energy.

A magical creature?

The curiosity and desire in his heart were offsetting his fear of death.

Not only did it have the Fire Rune, but this lion could even restrain its magical aura, only revealing the clues when it used magic energy.

Could it be aware of the existence and function of runes?

Could it drive Rune energy?

Would it actively seek the power of new runes? No, it shouldn't be able to see the patterns, so it wouldn't be able to do that.

A thought suddenly popped into Joffrey's mind: Perhaps the appearance of this giant lion was because it sensed the aura of fire magic from me here, and came over from its secret and unknown territory to take a look? Was it looking for its own kind?

The violent flames devoured everything in sight.

The hot, thin air mixed with bits of ash showed malice equally to all living things.

The mountain giant lion shook its body, turned around, and leisurely trotted away.

Watching the giant lion's figure disappear, they immediately fled in the opposite direction from this dead zone.

A few hundred meters away, the three of them stopped.

The Lannister soldiers arrived late, and leading the reconnaissance was none other than “Kingslayer” Jaime Lannister.

“Joffrey, what happened? How did a fire suddenly start?”

Joffrey glanced at his nominal uncle, then turned his head to gaze at the direction where the giant lion had left.

“A wonderful accident.”

Meeting is fate, it seems you are destined to be my mount.

He was very curious.

Just how many direwolves could a mountain giant lion that breathes fire defeat?
