Louis was really curious.
First of all, one thing is certain, Little Swan was not a genius from the beginning.
After all, she stayed around him for a long time, and the succubus's racial talent made it difficult for her to hide herself.
The stupidity at the beginning should be real.
Especially during the period when he had just traveled through time, it was unlikely that she would hide her true identity.
Because I was still in a state of panic about coming to another world, I was extremely wary of everything.
Little Swan was able to conceal it in this situation, so her psychological quality must be extremely high, and her acting skills must be at the level of an award-winning actress.
The possibility is too low.
He kept thinking about this question until Louis left the room.
I was puzzled. How did the little swan do this? "Hey, hey... Prince Louis, come back to your senses."
Hearing a dissatisfied roar in his ear, he raised his head and looked forward.
By this time he had left the room and headed to Roxy's training grounds.
The person who was shouting at him to come back to his senses with an unhappy look on his face was the sword master.
Of course, the purpose of their staying here today is not to compete, but to fulfill the agreement between countries.
The Master of the Sword personally taught Louis the way to become a Cursed Swordsman, which is a rare adventure for many people.
After all, a monster like the Sword Master, who possesses top-level skills, is very suitable to be a mentor to a genius.
Louis temporarily put aside all his doubts about the little swan and said seriously: "Sorry, I was just thinking about something."
The Sword Master raised his eyebrows: "It seems that what you think about is so important that it can distract you even from facing our inheritance."
Louis said calmly: "Who doesn't have some family affairs? Let's get started and show me the system that Roxy is proud of."
The sword master snorted and said, "First choose the bloodline path you want to take."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people came to the training ground.
They were carrying thirteen metal boxes and stood in front of Louis.
Louis glanced at them and said, "The Purgatory Dragon is fine, I don't need other bloodlines."
The sword master raised an eyebrow.
Although most people chose to protect the Shiwu family when choosing bloodline transformation, he chose the Purgatory Dragon for another reason.
The special thing about the five families guarding the Stone is their divine tools. From the perspective of bloodline alone, there is basically no difference between them and the other thirteen families.
"Okay, then the Purgatory Dragon Bloodline Transformation Group will stay, and the other groups will withdraw first."
After Louis finished speaking, the people on the field began to open the metal clamps and take out the blood transformation instrument inside.
"Your Highness Louis, please take a seat. We will inject you with the blood transformation potion."
Louis shook his head and said, "No, I am not the one you want to transfuse blood into."
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what Louis meant.
Louis said calmly: "It is the object of your bloodline transformation."
He waved his hand, and a summoning circle appeared, and a huge slime appeared in front of everyone.
A researcher was stunned: "Giant slime? I heard that you have recently developed a method that can make slimes evolve into giant slimes, but I didn't expect that you have already mastered this method."
Louis smiled and said, "This thing used to be a key technology and couldn't be exposed at will, but now there's not much need for it."
The implication is that this technology has become obsolete.
The sword master was amazed, then smiled and said, "Its bloodline transformation can also affect you? The methods of the Great Sin are really magical."
"I heard that the power of the five guardian stones is also ingenious. We can only say that we each have our own strengths." Louis said indifferently, "It has undergone bloodline transformation, which is not much different from what I have, and I don't want to implant more bloodlines in my body."
"Okay, I understand." The sword master spread his hands and said, "But if it can't effectively absorb the blood potion, then it's not our problem."
Louis smiled: "Don't worry, I am far inferior to it in absorbing blood potion."
Slimes were originally specially bred as weapons of war in history, with the ability to devour the power of others and transform them.
It is said that they evolved to the point where they even surpassed their creators. With the effect of the Greedy Ruler, whatever Rimuru could obtain, he could naturally obtain as well.
The sword master didn't say much, and directly asked someone to take out the Purgatory Dragon Bloodline Potion and inject it into Rimuru's body.
The crimson potion spread throughout Rimuru's huge body, instantly transmitting to every part of his body like an electric spark.
There was a terrifying aura about it, like a wild beast roaring towards the sky.
Compared to directly digesting the dragon's body, the characteristics of blood potion can more easily transform the essence of life.
Slimes are originally the best at plundering the power of other races, but because their level is too low, most of the time they become toys for newcomers to practice with.
But if you look carefully, you will find that starting from the special slime, the giant slime, the kingdom slime or the slime's distant relative, the slime monster...
Almost every one of them is a monster with extremely high threat level among monsters of the same level.
There are even cases where the power of the dragon blood slime exceeds that of the dragon itself.
Louis could also clearly feel the changes in Rimuru's body.
The absorption efficiency of this blood potion is comparable to that of humans, but for Rimuru, the degree of deep absorption is several times higher than that of humans.
Within a few breaths, he felt the first power sprouting in his body.
Innate physical characteristics - keel, activated.
He felt that his bones seemed to have changed slightly, becoming denser and tougher.
This is different from the bones of ordinary human professionals. When normal professionals strengthen their bones, it is difficult to avoid the increase in bone weight.
But dragons are different.
Not only are dragon skeletons much larger than human skeletons, but they are also lighter in weight than human skeletons of the same volume.
From what Louis feels now, he can feel that his weight is decreasing at a very obvious rate.
This is probably one of the reasons why dragons have such large bodies but fly extremely fast.
He threw a punch forward.
A gust of strong wind was blown out, and the wind from just the fist overturned a big tree at the edge of the training ground.
This is pure physical strength.
The people working nearby almost dropped their eyes when they saw this scene.
This is outrageous.
How could a normal professional who had just obtained the bloodline of the Purgatory Dragon possess such strength?
Even among professionals of the same level, those professionals of the Jean family who have further developed their Infernal Dragon bloodline by upgrading their Cursed Swordsman profession level are far from being able to accomplish this.
"Legendary dragon power... How is this possible?" A professional muttered, "Can we study him? This is simply an unprecedented scene."
The island owner said calmly: "Instead of thinking about studying him, you might as well think about studying the giant slime. The giant slime's absorption of blood potion is somewhat absurd."
A researcher said, "We brought 113 bloodline potions this time. We originally wanted to refine the bloodline so that His Highness's professional level could quickly synchronize with that of a Curse Swordsman... But is it useless now?"
The conversion of the Curse Swordsman's profession level is similar to that of the Martial Artist.
Other non-cursed swordsman professions, as long as they complete the bloodline refinement, can also gradually share the power of other profession levels and gradually transform into the corresponding cursed swordsman level.
According to the original plan, if he was lucky, the Imperial Prince would only need to pay 2 career levels to complete the first round of tempering of the Purgatory Dragon bloodline and have the possibility of being promoted to the advanced profession of Curse Swordsman.
But now, after swallowing just the first bloodline potion, he has achieved the effect of at least 20 bloodline potions.
...It's too outrageous.
"continue."
Louis felt the changes brought about by the improvement of his physical strength, and he showed a rare interest.
He actually has the physique, but it is only after he uses the Sin Dragon Armor.
But now, through the Curse Swordsman, he directly possessed this power, which was an improvement in his body! Another blood potion was injected into Rimuru's body, but this time there was no obvious reaction.
The researchers were not annoyed, as they knew this was normal, and they just continued injecting precious blood potion into Rimuru's body.
When the fifth bloodline potion was injected, Rimuru reacted again.
[Dragon Power] activated.
Dragon power is a kind of power that belongs exclusively to dragons. This power is considered one of the characteristics of dragon bloodline. It is also the influence of this power that makes dragon magic, raids and coercion so deadly.
Louis stretched out his hand, and a unique aura entwined with his blood.
The surrounding staff seemed to see a blood-red dragon behind him roaring at them. The power made them terrified, and some weaker staff almost knelt down on the spot.
The sword master frowned, stepped forward and released his own aura to block the influence of this momentum.
"The power of dragon that can only be activated by a model-level spell swordsman was obtained so quickly?"
The sword master frowned.
This absorption efficiency is too abnormal.
The Roxy Empire has prepared 113 potions, which under normal circumstances can increase the blood concentration of a professional who has just taken up the Curse Swordsman profession to the corresponding LV19.
This is undoubtedly a huge waste.
This kind of blood refinement can only be achieved by the curse swordsman by raising his own blood level.
But Roxy and Enser reached a deal. Even if it would cause huge waste, Roxy would use 113 potions to raise the prince's blood concentration to that level.
The sword master was even prepared for Louis' lack of adaptability to the cursed swordsmanship and for all 113 bloodline potions to be consumed.
But unexpectedly, the power of dragon was unlocked on the fifth one.
"Go on, I want to see to what extent this giant slime can utilize the blood of the Purgatory Dragon!"
Louis had closed his eyes at this time.
Feeling the changes caused by the dragon power integrating into every part of the body.
He also heard the knife master's voice and acquiesced to the other party's continued operation.
The 10th bloodline potion was injected into Rimuru's body. Rimuru suddenly roared, and his body instantly turned into a purgatory dragon. The burning fire of purgatory appeared on his body.
Corresponding to the LV15 Purgatory Dragon bloodline characteristic, [Purgatory Fire] is unlocked.
Louis' body was entangled in the dark purgatory fire, and he could feel that this purgatory fire could be directly injected into any of his attacks.
Even if it is just a normal attack, it will cause burning damage from the Inferno.
This is a double blow to the body and soul, and is also one of the means by which the Jean family harms their opponents.
"aHhhhhhh~"
Rimuru, who was flying in the sky, let out a roar and spit out a dragon breath filled with hellfire on the ground, instantly burning the surrounding area into magma. The blazing purgatory fire could not be extinguished for a long time.
With the control of the Infernal Fire, it mastered the dragon breath that was exclusive to the Infernal Dragon, instead of just ordinary dragon breath.
Something strange happened on Louis' side as well.
He felt the Sin Dragon Armor under his skin become more active than ever before.
The fire of purgatory merged into the Sin Dragon's armor and began to merge with the essence of the Sapphire Dragon.
He saw a corrupt dragon in the endless void, roaring horribly.
It was a dragon with an appearance similar to that of a sapphire dragon.
Its body exuded the familiar smell of decay, symbolic of the living dead.
"Ah, I see. It's you."
He had already recognized the identity of the dragon that had evolved into a demigod-level ancient dragon.
More than a year ago, he and the Moonlight Cat Group went to Dragon Bone Grassland to fulfill Alice's long-cherished wish.
There is the sapphire dragon that killed Alice's former team member.
However, at the end of the battle of Dragonbone Grassland, Alice discovered the sapphire dragon that had turned into a zombie, and thus learned the truth about why they were attacked that year.
In one timeline, with the deaths of Sean and Fafner, the last living Sapphire Dragon died.
The Sapphire Dragon race was exterminated, and the unprecedented curse brought about by the destruction of the race spread between heaven and earth.
This curse may generate endless negative energy and form strange creatures such as dragons and demons in areas with dense negative energy.
However, since zombies are called zombies, it means that their bodies still have some characteristics of living things.
The Sapphire Dragon in the IF line broke free from the restraints of the King of the Living Dead after taking control of his own consciousness.
Then, the Sapphire Dragon's final curse naturally gathered into the body of this corrupt but still somewhat alive young dragon.
With the wails of the sapphire dragon clan, the cursed dragon was born.
The cursed dragon, which is neither alive nor dead, is born with all the qualities of a sapphire dragon.
It possesses the power of a perfect sapphire dragon, but... it is not a real dragon after all.
So he could only curse the world.
Cursing the world that had destroyed his race.
Until one day, the cursed dragon, who had already embarked on the road to becoming a god, suddenly looked back after defeating all his enemies.
In the long river of time, he felt an incredible possibility.
In that timeline, the Sapphire Dragon clan will continue.
"Let's make a trade. Protect my people and I will give you my power."
In the dark, Louis seemed to be confronting the cursed dragon across the long river of time.
"Sean and Fafner are my friends." Louis said lightly without responding.
"I see. That's fine too."
In an instant, an invisible force spread around, and the distorted spiritual energy repelled the people around.
Rimuru sensed something, and his body suddenly turned into a huge black curtain, protecting Louis inside.
In the darkness, the Sin Dragon Armor appeared on his body.
It started out as a basic form, then turned into a liberated form, and finally endless curse power spread around Louis. Pale and tough dragon bones emerged around him, followed by flesh and blood that continued to take shape and wrapped him in the dragon heart.
The sapphire dragon's exquisite body was adorned with faint magic circuits and mysterious runes, and there was an illusory crystal crown on its head.
When Louis inside it opened his eyes, the sapphire dragon also opened his eyes.
This is the final form of the Sin Dragon Armor, the incarnation of the Dragon King.
…
【Location: Dragon Empire】
The Bronze Dragon King, who was originally sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Another fellow who has embarked on the path to godhood? Strange, why does this power feel so frivolous, as if it was forcibly raised through authority."
He let out a howl, and in an instant, his consciousness continued to rise and entered a place of illusion.
That is the source of all dragons' bloodline memories.
A demiplane between reality and illusion, constructed by generations of powerful dragons.
Its name is——
Emerald Dream.
In the Dragon Hall in the deepest part of the Emerald Dream, the consciousness of the Bronze Dragon King quietly descended.
Not long after he arrived, rays of light also descended on the Dragon Palace.
That is the will of the Dragon Kings of all the major dragon clans.
The branch of dragons that reaches the top of the demigod clan will automatically obtain a place in the Dragon Hall.
Even if a new demigod appears in this branch of the dragon clan, only one person can sit on the throne of the Dragon Hall.
Therefore, the dragons called the throne...
Crown of the Dragon King.
Represents the authority of the strongest dragon in this branch.
"A new throne has been created."
There was a Dragon King whispering.
The Bronze Dragon King looked in the direction of the new throne, and after a moment he said curiously: "This throne... is it the throne of the Sapphire Dragon that has disappeared?"
There was a lot of discussion at the scene. Ever since the death of the Sapphire Dragon King many years ago, the throne of the Sapphire Dragon Clan has collapsed.
"A new demigod has appeared in the Sapphire Dragon Clan? This is cause for celebration!"
"Indeed, after the death of the Mad Dragon of Life, no one inherited the throne. But this throne is so strange..."
"Yes, the aura above is so terrifying, comparable to the strongest among us demigods, but why is the power on the throne so superficial? It's as if it was forcibly enhanced by some means?"
"The Dragon King who was promoted to a demigod has reincarnated?"
"Who has almost completed the path to godhood right after being promoted to Dragon King?"
"But the throne was indeed just formed."
"Is there a possibility that this guy, like the dragon in the painting back then, is not a natural dragon, but a dragon king born later in life?"
“…”
"Could it be those crazy people in Roxy? They occupied the throne of the Purgatory Dragon King, but they don't call themselves dragons. They say they are human beings."
"Damn it, aren't the Sapphire Dragons in the Unther Empire now?"
The Dragon Kings paused for a moment, and suddenly a bad idea flashed through their minds.
"Quick, go ask if the damned Lokshi people are cooperating with the Enther Empire?!"
"Damn it, doesn't he have his own bloodline?"
The Bronze Dragon King shook his head and said, "Not really. Looking at the concentrated aura on the throne, even the strongest dragons among us would find it difficult to defeat it."
“But I sensed a sense of death in it, which means that this power comes from a fallen dragon king.”
The Frost Dragon King exhaled a breath of icy air and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that he is just like the little dragon king of Roxy, and directly inherited the source of power of a certain generation of dragon kings?"
Everyone looked at each other.
The possibility is very high!
Just as they were thinking this, something strange happened on the throne of the Sapphire Dragon King again.
Waves of dark purgatory fire burned on it, and the power unique to the Purgatory Dragon was condensed here.
"Look at the throne of the Purgatory Dragon King..."
Everyone's eyes instantly turned to the throne of the Purgatory Dragon King.
There was no one on the throne, which was normal. The current Purgatory Dragon King did not recognize himself as a dragon, so he would naturally not enter the Dragon Hall.
But now, the throne of the Purgatory Dragon King shattered into pieces, and finally turned into streams of light and merged into the throne of the Sapphire Dragon King.
"A dragon king with double blood? Another alien dragon that threatens the multiverse?"
"It's the Sapphire Dragon and the Purgatory Dragon again. This bastard has nothing to do with Enther and Loxie. I'm going to eat the shit of the Amethyst Dragon King!"
"If you want to flirt with the Purple Crystal Dragon King, don't cheat for food and drink... But the new king's vain power is understandable. I'm afraid he is another old guy who has inherited the power of the Dragon King and is ready to go the invincible road again."
"What if the person is very young?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Silence!" The Bronze Dragon King said in a deep voice, "Send a young man to Enser and the Rockhi Empire to inquire about the situation."
A dragon king said angrily: "These humans always like to steal our power. Let me go and warn them."
The Bronze Dragon King said calmly, "Just a friendly reminder, the strongest Sapphire Dragon right now is the one contracted by Prince Enther and the controller of Meyer, the top merchant group on the continent."
"He is most likely the new Dragon King. If you offend him, you will offend the prince, which means you will become an enemy of Enther. The new Dragon King controls the Cursed Legion and can turn the dead into soldiers of the Legion."
"It doesn't matter if you go, but don't let the Emperor and Roxy hunt you down. That would be hilarious."
The Dragon King took a deep breath and said, "No, I just slept for fifty years. What happened outside?"
The Bronze Dragon King snorted coldly: "Emperor and Roxy, which one can you beat?"
"How dare you! If I really go forward, I will definitely be able to fight with him for several rounds, and then..."
“And then let the emperor beg you not to die?” A dragon king laughed, “Okay, if we can’t win, send a suitable dragon to ask about the situation.”
No one knows about the turmoil in the Dragon Hall.
Louis on the other side fell into deep thought as he looked at the Sin Dragon Armor in the form of the Dragon King's incarnation, as well as the Purgatory Dragon characteristics that emerged from the dragon's body.
"How am I going to explain to others in the future that I am a human being?"
But he still felt a little regretful.
The input from the Purgatory Dragon caused changes in the properties of his body.
Even without the Sin Dragon Armor, he now looks like a giant dragon in human form.
It was the further deepening of his connection with dragon power that allowed him to unlock the final form of the Sin Dragon Armor.
He could sense that there was a deeper power hidden within the Dragon King's incarnation.
However, due to the limitation of his professional level, this power cannot be fully exerted.
His mind raced, the dragon's flesh and blood began to wriggle, and he broke free from it.
Even though he was separated from the dragon's body, he could still feel his control over the Sin Dragon Armor.
He exclaimed in amazement: "He really became a dragon knight?"
He snapped his fingers and put away the Sin Dragon Weapon.
Purgatory Dragon Bloodline Potion, what a good thing! As Rimuru lifted the veil, he looked at the terrified people:
"Go on, let me see the limit of the bloodline potion!"
He wanted to see to what extent the Sin Dragon Armor could be strengthened by injecting all of this batch of bloodline potions. (End of this chapter)
