Chapter 150 Battle Qi! Evil Dragon Qi!
The long-lasting rainy season has finally come to a complete end.
As the first rays of sunlight pierced the clouds, a rare morning mist rose from the permafrost on the north bank of the Estonian Great River, where a faint chill permeated the air, for it was already close to the permafrost.
At the same time.
Inside a naturally formed basalt cave.
The black behemoth, as if cast from steel, slowly opened its deep, dark eyes.
Galos awoke.
After a full month of slumber.
This slumber is not a growth-inducing dragon's hibernation, but a healing dormancy to recover from its injuries.
Raising his claws, Garus reached for his thick neck.
The deep cuts that had previously exposed bone had disappeared, the flesh and dragon scales had healed, and all the knife and axe wounds had healed and regenerated, even the horrific wounds that had completely pierced through the body were gone.
If it were any other species, suffering such severe injuries, even if they recovered, they would most likely suffer long-term effects that would affect them for life.
But for dragons, as long as they don't die on the spot, it's not a big problem.
With sleep, the best medicine, injuries heal without any lasting effects.
Because it was the closest he had ever come to death, Galos now looks back and is very grateful for his tireless efforts day and night, as well as his various forms of training in advance.
for example.
Through his adaptation to the venom of the serpent dragon, he became virtually immune to the potion expert's poisons.
There was also the thick dragon neck, honed through rigorous training, which withstood a fierce slash from a paladin who had poured his heart and soul into it, without being directly beheaded.
Regarding the body structure of dragons.
Compared to the strength of other parts of the body, the neck can be considered a major weakness, being long and thin in proportion.
Galus is different.
Because of years of targeted training, his neck is thick and covered with a layer of steel-like scales. His neck muscles are strong enough to support his massive body as he hangs upside down in the air.
His weaknesses and shortcomings are being addressed one by one.
Standing up, Red Iron Dragon stretched its body, pressed down, raised its tail and rump, and flapped its wings. Its muscles and bones made a series of popping sounds like firecrackers, and then it shook off the dust and pebbles on its body.
Then, he closed his eyes slightly and felt the flow of energy within his body.
Besides magic energy and life energy.
There is an even hotter, more active, and more surging energy flowing through his body.
—Dragon energy, also known as fighting energy.
Galos opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
call!
A stream of dark red energy appeared on his hand.
This dragon energy, existing between reality and illusion, sometimes rose like flames and sometimes flowed like molten iron. It was black and red overall, with a pitch-black interior and a dark red surface, which made Garos shake his head helplessly.
The color of the dragon's aura is related to the essence of its life.
As a red iron dragon, it's reasonable that his dragon aura is blackish-red.
His dragon energy is not yet strong enough; it has only been converted to about one-tenth of its original strength.
However, once his martial arts level increases, and all his magical and life energy is converted into dragon energy, he will be able to transform into flames that completely cover his body during intense battles, just like the martial monks of the past.
At that time.
The dragon energy was activated, and a black and red illusory flame enveloped the entire body, rolling and burning, undoubtedly giving people an extremely dangerous and evil feeling.
If it were gold, it would appear much more sacred and dignified, rather than fierce and dangerous.
To achieve this, you need to reach a high level and obtain the Dragon Aura Mastery feat. At that point, forget about gold; you could even make it a multicolored black or a vibrant white.
"The battle with the Dragon Hunting Group was dangerous, but the gains were also great. Most importantly, I am now officially a Fighting Dragon."
Galos was filled with emotion.
The birth of the dragon's aura also signifies his successful appointment to the post.
While he was in a deep sleep, he directly mastered a skill that was essential to his profession through inheritance.
—Mastery of claw strikes.
Numerous attack and defense techniques using both claws surged through Garros's mind as if he had learned them without any instruction.
In comparison, he felt that his previous use of his claws was as primitive and crude as that of a wild beast, a complete waste of his physical abilities.
Now, with a casual swing, his claws can precisely pierce the weakest layer of rock.
This improved precision in controlling power is more valuable than mere increase in strength.
Moreover, his combat level is currently only level 1.
As his level increases, he can also awaken his class skills such as Tail Strike Mastery and Wing Strike Mastery, as well as the perception skills that Garos currently desires.
certainly.
If he has enough time and free time, he can also learn the skills on his own without having to learn them through inheritance.
It's worth mentioning that job level and life level are two separate systems.
For creatures that are inherently weak, occupational level is basically equivalent to life level.
For top-tier magical creatures like dragons, once they take up a job, their overall skill level cannot be judged solely by their life level and job level.
Level 1 combat skill is very low.
However, Galus had already sensed a significant change.
Even without considering the Claw Strike Mastery skill, just one-tenth of the dragon energy in his body can increase the duration of his Frenzy state, or be used to enhance his attack or defense.
His life level remained unchanged.
However, their combat effectiveness has indeed increased significantly.
"I don't actually lack offensive skills right now, the key is perception skills."
"At level 3, there is a Reflex Dodge, and at level 6, there is Danger Awareness. It won't be long before you get it."
Galos pondered to himself.
The level of a Fighting Dragon is mainly increased through combat and brutal training that is almost self-torturing. Galos is very good at these two things and can quickly increase his level when his job level is not high.
He was in high spirits and wanted to start exercising right away.
However, thinking of the dragons and their retinues guarding him, and that now was not a good time to train, Garus suppressed his impulse and took off from the hidden underground cave.
I heard a noise.
The young dragon guards around immediately looked over, their eyes wary. But when they saw the black dragon soaring through the sky, they breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves finally relaxing.
It hovered briefly in the air.
Galos folded his wings and landed on the ground.
The fairy dragon was the first to flap its wings and fly towards him, circling his strong body and scattering some sparkling, dazzling eyeshadow as a celebration.
"My dear brother, you've finally woken up."
Iron Dragon Sorog strode over, but before he got close, he suddenly stopped, his scales trembling slightly, as if he had sensed some kind of invisible pressure.
It stared at Garros, a hint of surprise in its eyes.
The red iron dragon in front of him still had that same imposing body, but it was surrounded by an indescribable aura of power, as if even the air itself feared his breath.
Fiery, resilient, and spirited.
His body doesn't look much different.
But in terms of feeling, it's as if there has been some kind of qualitative change.
"You..." Tie Long's voice hesitated slightly as he asked, "You've taken the job? What's your profession?"
Galos didn't hide anything and said, "Martial Dragon."
Neither Iron Dragon nor Red Dragon were too surprised to hear this.
There are very few dragons who become fighting dragons, because although dragons are enthusiastic about fighting, they are generally lazy and do not like to exercise, let alone undergo cruel training that is almost self-torture. In addition, there are traditional warrior professions as alternatives. As for Garus, it cannot be viewed in the same way.
"Martial Dragon and Alchemist".
Iron Dragon's gaze swept over Galos and Samantha, and he said thoughtfully, "You've both taken up jobs, so I should also choose a career path to develop."
Because of their powerful bloodline, the warlock class is the easiest for dragons to learn.
Excluding exceptions like Galus.
For a normal young dragon to find a job, the only option is basically the warlock class.
"You can choose a warlock class first."
Galos advised, “Don’t forget that time is on our side. It’s not too late to change course once we’ve passed the growth phase and things have stabilized.”
Short-lived creatures can only specialize in one particular profession.
However, dragons often pursue many professions and try different paths throughout their long lives.
Ancient dragons, which are over a thousand years old, are difficult to determine, apart from their high level of life, how many skills they have learned or how many unpredictable methods they have mastered.
Galos was very interested in magic.
It's just that the learning cycle of magic is long, and it takes time and accumulation to convert it into combat power, which is not suitable for him now, so he can only ignore it and wait until the conditions are right in the future before considering venturing into the path of magic.
Not long after.
The migrating caravan regrouped and prepared to depart. Galus spread his wings and swept over the caravan, soaring and circling in the sky.
His shadow stretched across the wilderness, gradually extending northward.
The area right next to the riverbank was not suitable for building a nest as a base. Under the dragon's wings, the monster horde set off again and continued its northward migration. The long line resembled a thin stream, flowing towards the border between the wilderness and the tundra.
