Roy was like a character straight out of a famous anime as he ate the Dragon's Fruit in two bites. Because he was a soul herder and his body had the special property of instantly breaking down whatever he ate into energy, the Dragon's Fruit was digested by him in the blink of an eye.

Inside his body, it transformed into golden and red dragons made of indefinable energy.

Duanlong!

Releasing mighty roars, they seeped into every fiber of his being, helping him evolve and go beyond the limits.

You have consumed the Dragon's Fruit

Your bloodline has been purified. It has been upgraded from a low-level draconian bloodline to a high-level crimson dragon's bloodline

Your latent talent has increased significantly

Your Strength has increased to 300 points

Your Agility has increased to 280 points

Another tattoo appeared on Roy's body. It was shaped like a black claw, and it formed on his back. It was surprisingly similar to Arlo's tattoo.

You have gained the Dragonkin Transformation Bloodline skill

Consume 100 points of energy to turn you into a Dragon Warrior. In this form, your HP bar increase by 100%, your basic stats increase by 10% each, and you gain defensive scales and wings. While the skill is in effect, 10 points of energy is consumed every minute. As soon as you run out of energy, the transformation will end, and you will return to your base form.

"My gene has been altered. My bloodline was also upgraded. I feel like I have come closer to becoming a real dragon." Roy clenched his fist, feeling absolute power coursing through his body. It wasn't just his imagination. If he were to have a rematch with the Crimson Lord, it would take him no more than a move to defeat it. He has become just that strong.

It's detected that you have completed all three tasks of the ongoing Grand Quest

The Grand quest "Advancing to the ranks of Dragon's Disciple" has been generated

-Let you control all the mana and aura in your vicinity.

-Allow you to store a hundred thousand units of aura in your body.

-Increases your mana storage capacity to 10k

"Crazy!"

This was all Roy had to say about this. He was afraid that even grandmasters might not be his match in terms of aura absorption and release. Still, he wasn't certain that he was their match.

'They can imbue the special effect of their class weapons in their Force. This alone gives them an upper hand against me.' Roy thought.

Suddenly, a monotone voice echoed throughout the cave.

"The portal to the Ashen Mountain will be generated in 10 seconds. 10 9 8"

They just heard this announcement when the door was broken down. The group of three was still to reach Roy. They had only crossed half the bridge.

Roy saw human-like reptilians sprawling into the cave. They had large black eyes. Madness and cruelty were surging within their eyes. They didn't have a nose, only two dark holes where the nose should be. They had many dots on their faces and scales all over their body. They were completely white and didn't have any hair. They came in walking on all four, but the moment they saw the Female Siren, they dropped on all four and sprinted ahead.

"Fuck! They are hot on our trail." Tevenlor cursed, seeing them stepping on the black bridge.

"Don't fret. It's just a horde of evil creatures." Shadowless saw them on the bridge and grinned from ear to ear. "And... they have signed their death certificate."

The Female Siren was, of course, aware of their existence too. She was extremely afraid of them, but she didn't let that stop her from running to her husband.

Roy's eyes lit up when he saw them. "Whoa! There are so many... training targets."

About 7 seconds were left before the portal would open. He decided to dedicate that amount of time to testing his newfound power on the newly arrived targets.

"Dragon's Pond, it's all you, man!" Roy uttered, and an immense pressure erupted from the Dragon's Pond, dropping down on Voss's Sons.

Crack~

An intense draconian pressure acted on them, and the sound of bones breaking rang out.

"KKKUUUAAAGHHHH!"

They were immediately immobilized and screeching like a banshee. The pain they were feeling was no less than a person getting ducked in the ass by a bat.

"They are really resilient."

The fact that they didn't instantly explode alarmed Roy. If it were any other aura master, they would have exploded, facing the entire pressure of the Dragon's Pond. Their defense and endurance must be really high. Otherwise, they wouldn't have survived that.

"Maybe this will put an end to them."

Roy stretched out his hand and clenched his palm into a fist. All the aura in the surrounding closed in on Voss's sons, crushing them. Their bodies deformed under the draconian pressure, and their face and limbs twisted. Their screams got louder as they felt death embracing them. Before they knew it, they were flattened like pancakes!

"How can they still be alive?!"

Roy was shocked. Even in that state, they weren't dead. They were made out of an Evil God's soul. It wasn't easy to kill them. Physical attacks alone weren't enough to deal with them.

"Since physical attacks aren't enough, how about this!"

Continuously and methodically, Roy thrust his hands forward, fireballs of the sixth level shooting out of his palms and exploding on the pancakes.

Boom!

Instantly, they were blasted into smithereens and set ablaze.

The fire ate away their body, leaving behind not even dust.

Ding! Congratulation. You have killed 3333 of Voss's sons

You gained 33k EXP

You gained 33 soul spell strengthening shards

"So the fire of the sixth level is enough to kill Voss's son," Roy concluded, hearing his system's notifications. "It's only him that won't die unless burned with a level 13th fire."
