Chapter 241 Awakening (Part 2)
"I finally woke up."
Casius slowly opened his eyes, with smoke coming out of the corners of his mouth. He felt an unprecedented power surging in his body, and couldn't help but gently stretch his wings.
"Damn, what time is it now?"
The red dragon was not sure of the current time, because he seemed to have experienced hundreds and thousands of years in his dream, experienced countless tragic battles, and witnessed the dragon's decline from glory.
But those memories that seemed to be experienced firsthand were covered with a layer of mysterious veil and became blurred the moment he opened his eyes.
This even made him feel a little dizzy.
"It would have been bad if it had been decades ago."
Casius looked around. The cave had become full of lava and magma. The gold coins were even melted into a stream-like shape, and there was no trace of time at all.
He whistled softly and summoned the Heavenly Tribulation Dragon Eye, carefully examining himself now and observing the situation in the kingdom.
Fortunately, in his vast vision, North Wind Castle was booming, people were busy in the streets and squares, and the kingdom had undergone considerable changes, but obviously not to the extent of the past few decades or even hundreds of years, and the changes in the dragon's body itself surprised Cassius even more.
"This is."
Compared with before he fell asleep, the red dragon's appearance had undergone earth-shaking changes, even making him feel a little unfamiliar.
His dragon body had grown to nearly thirty meters long, which was a size that only old or even extremely old red dragons could reach. They had spent at least five hundred years, and Cassius had only spent ten years.
His scales turned deeper red, and the shiny texture was replaced by smooth and matte, with only dark golden stripes on the edges, like gold-plated armor growing from the body.
His wings became wider, and the trailing edge of the wing membrane was plated with the blue-black color of metal burning in the fire.
His tail became thicker, and sharp bone spurs grew on the tip, like a battering ram.
But these were just insignificant details.
The changes in the red dragon's head and chest were the most significant and thorough.
His golden pupils faded, and his eyes were like red-hot lava balls, emitting fierce flames.
On that hideous head, there were not only two large horns swept back, but also new spiral, devil-like horns on the top.
In the center of the red dragon's chest, where countless basal blood vessels converged, the red crystals condensed by ultra-high purity fire elements were deeply embedded in his body, and its surface was rippled like flowing magma. And radial cracks appeared on the surrounding scales, revealing a glowing fire.
The energy contained in it was too huge and concentrated, heating the surrounding body all the time, so that two rows of pore-like organs grew on his chest, neck and tail to continuously discharge sulfur waste gas and release excess heat.
If Cassius was still like a pure red dragon before he fell asleep, then he was a completely different species after waking up, and he had obviously deviated from the category of normal five-color dragons - if there were dragon scholars present, they would definitely be amazed at his appearance.
"This look is like the true incarnation of the natural disaster."
Casius shook his still unfamiliar body, slowly stretched his wings, felt the surging power in his body like the tide, and his eyes like lava balls showed expectation.
"Then let me take a closer look at this power"
[After sleeping, you digested the [thin ancestral dragon bloodline], and your body evolved. ]
[Dragons are powerful magical creatures. They are naturally proficient in many aspects of supernatural phenomena, and Io's favorite offspring is even more so. As a descendant of the ancestral dragon, you have obtained supernatural abilities from ancient times. ]
[You gain additional spellcasting level: 3→5]
[Your racial spellcasting level is superimposed with the warlock spellcasting level, and your current spellcasting level is: 17]
This level of spellcasting ability can barely reach the ninth layer of the magic network, almost touching the surface of the root, and going up is those forbidden areas.
Casius deeply felt this extraordinary improvement.
The eight-ring spell [Magic Atrophy] that he once treated with great care, now under the influence of this powerful spellcasting ability, he can fully master it, even at his fingertips, and ordinary low-level spells can no longer pose a threat to him.
"With this level of spellcasting ability, he should be able to walk sideways in Anzeta."
The red dragon just stared at the thick stone pillar in the distance, and his will changed slightly. The middle of the stone pillar was melted and pierced in an instant, and flowing liquid lava gushed out. It was as easy as a blink of an eye for an ordinary warlock to cast a spell, and he didn't even need to think about it.
However, the information on the panel has not ended yet and is still refreshing.
[Due to the blood of ancestral dragons, you gain the dragon race's additional feat - [Primal Breath Weapon]]
[Primal Breath Weapon]:
Once a day, the dragon uses the power of its ancestral bloodline to gather the energy of the whole body into the dragon crystal, and a fission reaction occurs in it, releasing unimaginable and powerful energy. After each primordial breath, some waste will be formed in the dragon crystal, which may cause a certain degree of irreversible pollution to the body.
It takes 125-375 seconds to charge. In the previous three hours, the dragon must not have used the breath weapon, and the energy consumed in this attack will prevent the dragon from using the breath for at least three days.
"What a powerful breath."
"It's more appropriate to call it 'atomic bomb' spitting than 'primordial spitting', but the sequelae are a bit serious."
Casius did not easily try the "primordial spitting" that might damage his body, but performed ordinary spitting.
As he slowly opened his jaw, his complex machine-like body suddenly started to work, and the energy of his whole body was transported to the "dragon crystal" embedded in his chest through dense basal blood vessels, and gradually gathered here, and the translucent crystal emitted bright flames.
And the two exhaust vents suddenly opened, emitting brilliant flame tails and bursts of white smoke.
Finally, the extremely high-density energy was transported to the red dragon's throat, spitting out extremely hot white flames, and instantly melted the rocks in front of it.
If the red dragon had not closed its mouth in time, the flames would even penetrate the rock layer and destroy the structure of the entire cave.
"Tsk, it's almost as powerful as the extremely effective spit before it fell asleep."
"A little bit of thin blood can reach this level. What about the dragon in the past?"
Casius couldn't help but sigh.
He clearly felt that the beating dragon heart was like a hot engine running at high speed. His vitality was unprecedentedly strong, and there was already a geometric gap between him and ordinary creatures.
In short, this red dragon has crossed the threshold that is extremely difficult for ordinary creatures, and its life level has reached the level of [Legend] that people are familiar with.
"The security work is not bad."
As the wings fluttered lightly, the invisible waves easily destroyed dozens of spells arranged around the cave entrance.
He walked slowly, walked out of the cave, and came to the Iron Dragon Wing Palace.
Due to the disaster that Casius accidentally caused when he was asleep, this place is already a mess, with melted and solidified steel everywhere, which has a kind of messy beauty. However, for the now larger red dragon, even this Iron Palace seems a bit narrow and cramped.
The metal gate had long been destroyed, leaving only an unformed, uneven doorway.
The red dragon lowered its head slightly, crouched down, and folded its wings, and then barely passed through the doorway and walked out of the once magnificent main hall.
Cassius shook his body, stretched his neck, stood up, and let out a series of happy whistles. Finally, he was able to fully spread his wide wings, no longer restricted by the constraints of space.
He looked up at the clear sky, his eyes narrowed slightly, and fire flickered in his lava-like pupils.
"I seem to smell a familiar smell."
Strange, the public chapter of the character card I posted, I don't know why the system changed it to VIP.
