Chapter 277: Transformed Into an Ancient Dragon

"Master, you are finally back."

In front of the portal to the Underdark, Rump waited cautiously.

He lowered his head, and his ugly nose sensitively smelled the blood on the red dragon, but he did not say a word.

"Motifer - the rat in the gutter is dead."

Casius said in a flat tone, as if he was stating a trivial matter.

Rump suddenly remembered the Dragon Shadow City ruled by Mortifer. The city has a superior geographical location and prosperous trade. It may become the frontline base for the Burning Kingdom to enter the Underdark.

But the ogre magician secretly observed the red dragon's expression and found that the other party did not seem to want to say anything more, and even looked a little impatient, so he immediately gave up the idea of ​​asking.

"Your great power is enough to make the gods tremble."

"From now on, no one can threaten North Wind Castle."

Rump knelt on the ground and flattered respectfully. His fat and huge body was like a mountain of meat.

But Cassius seemed absent-minded. He just nodded slightly, then flapped his wings and flew to the Iron Dragon Wing Palace on the outskirts of the city.

After a long time, Rump, who was kneeling on the ground, carefully raised his head. After finding that the figure of the red dragon had disappeared, he took out a golden handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Master, he has become more powerful, but his personality has also changed."

"I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing."

The ogre magician looked up at the fiery sunset in the sky, his face full of anxiety, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

At the same time, inside the palace.

Cassius exhaled a breath of sulfur-smelling smoke, and his whole body was surrounded by white smoke. Even sparks burst out from his pupils, and hot flames even flowed out from the gaps between the scales.

He stared at the panel indifferently.

[You killed [Lion Guard-Oakland], and got 1800xp]

[You killed [Guardian Sword-Tyrande], and got 1600xp]

[You killed [Human Soldier], and got 400xp]

[You killed [Human Horseman], and got 5xp]

[You killed [Human Merchant], and got 1xp]

On the way from North Wind Castle to the palace, he casually destroyed a human caravan that came from Strav Castle to trade.

That caravan was quite wealthy, and there were several high-level professionals serving as guards. It was more than enough to deal with the bandits on the road, and even enough to deal with the snowmen in the mountains. However, this was of no use in front of the red dragon.

These unfortunate humans only found themselves shrouded by a huge shadow. They looked up in horror, and before they could even shout "Danger!" or "Beware!", the dark red scorching fire descended from the sky like a divine punishment.

The flames devoured them all, annihilating them in it, leaving no trace of struggle.

No one would notice the disappearance of this caravan, perhaps only a line of inconspicuous text would be recorded in the account book.

And this caravan also provided Cassius with the last bit of experience.

After hesitating for a moment between the two professions of "Blood Scale Berserker" and "True Dragon Warlock", he still made the final choice.

[Your total occupation level reaches 17th level]

[[You choose to upgrade [True Dragon Warlock] to level 14]

[Since dragons are born to cast spells, your current caster level is: 19]

[You are already the best warlock in the world, and you gain an ability granted by your magic origin]

In his memory of his previous life, this level is a new leap for all professionals, and warlocks will gain the ability of magic origin and become true high-level professionals, masters of the kingdom level, which is why he hesitated for a moment and finally gave up continuing to upgrade the Blood Scale Berserker.

[You gain a magic origin ability: [Transform into an Ancient Dragon]]

[Transform into an Ancient Dragon]

[True Dragon Warlocks often ask older predecessors for advice, or trace back to the ancient existences that are the source of their bloodline. In order to better understand, they will even transform into an ancient dragon themselves.

You can choose one of the common true dragons such as the five-color dragon, metal dragon, gem dragon, etc., and consume a drop of dragon blood to transform. During the incarnation, you are equivalent to a real ancient dragon, with all basic attributes and spell-like abilities. But these abilities are only for experience, and the time they can be used is relatively short. They will gradually fade away after entering the battle. ]

"Not bad ability."

Casius commented.

That's an ancient dragon, the top existence in the entire material plane. Even a little experience will benefit you a lot, not to mention the "short time to use"?

You should know that the challenge level of the ancient red dragon is 22, and the ancient gold dragon even reaches the terrifying level 23, which can already walk sideways in Erezega. Even if it is Cassius, it is difficult to defeat an ancient gold dragon without using the breath of chaos.

[You gain additional dragon spells [Primal Hunter]]

Primal Hunter

2nd level transformation spell

Your muscles swell with the memory of the power of your ancestors and tighten for quick action.

This spell reminds your body of the power of your ancestors and the times when your ancestors were struggling for survival. You gain a +5 performance bonus on climbing, jumping, and swimming checks.

"Useless stuff."

Casius's expression was somewhat unfriendly. This kind of magic was better than nothing for a dragon of his level.

[You gain an additional dragon spell [Dragon's Justice]]

Dragon's Justice

6th-level transformation spell

Bright yellow light emanates from your body, making it look like you are covered in glowing spikes.

You create a field of arcane force around you that causes retaliatory damage to those who attack you. While the spell is in effect, any creature that attacks you with a weapon will be pierced by the force field.

"That can still be used."

Casius shook his head casually, spitting out wisps of sparks from the corners of his mouth, feeling the heat flowing in his mouth.

But he was still thinking about the tempting idea just now.

"Kill all creatures in the Prime Material World."

"Continue to rule the Burning Kingdom. Or destroy this world and pursue the supreme power."

"This may really be a purification."

The red dragon pondered excitedly, and the "Heart of Karix" beat with his powerful heart, providing a steady stream of energy through the basal blood vessels.

He had never felt so full of energy in his body, as if there was endless energy waiting for him to vent.

"Power."

"This is everything to survive in this world."

Casius stretched out his claws, and dark red flames spurted out from his palms, and then suddenly grasped them.

Suddenly, the majestic energy burst out, and the hot wind could be felt for miles around.

He felt unprecedented power surging in his dragon body. Even if the gods descended to incarnate, he had the confidence to devour them with the fire of chaos - that was more like a great ambition.

"Hehehe"

The red dragon grinned, revealing a ferocious smile again, and even the wings were shaking continuously. He seemed to have made a choice.
