Chapter 338: First Transformation
【Congratulations, the purity of your mutated dragon bloodline has been upgraded to 'Pure'!】
【Congratulations, with the power of your bloodline, your unique sonic ultimate technique 'Dragon Roar' has been enhanced and integrated into your innate talent.】
【Congratulations, with the power of your bloodline, you have unlocked the first transformation of the mutated dragonkin!】
"Pure?!" Upon seeing these two words, Ren's eyes lit up.
"Upgraded, the concentration of your bloodline has increased from 'Moderate' to 'Pure'."
"This is consistent with my previous guess. Indeed, there's another level between 'Moderate' and 'Rich' in terms of bloodline concentration."
"The Dragon Roar has become an innate talent? That's great news."
Led by the bearded knight, the Brightsin City guards removed their helmets and solemnly saluted Ren and the Griffin Knights.
A single person could be compared to the Federation's first airship factory, which spent a vast sum and two years to complete the construction of the Lancefort-class Mega Battleship. This gave Lady Treana a good reason to pay close attention to the other party.
With tens of thousands of corrupted minions, a city's defenses could be destroyed in a short time, and more minions would be born, feeding back to the source, causing a rapid increase in its power.
"I heard the housing prices in the Imperial Capital are extremely high."
"Fortunately, Lord Ren and the Griffin Knights arrived swiftly. Otherwise, the casualties would have been far greater."
What a cautious Lord Ren! At the same time...
Ren was at a loss for words for a moment.
The Griffin Knights in mid-air glanced at each other, then followed and landed.
"Oh..." Victor realized his slip, his words a bit too blunt.
"Viscount Ren, from another perspective, with such formidable strength, you should receive better treatment. Look, you're still a viscount. If you were in the Imperial Capital, you'd at least be an earl by now."
Count Isaac couldn't help but sigh in exasperation at the current situation in the Empire.
In other words, she still had a chance.
Moreover, according to the intelligence they provided, they would completely defeat the Corrupted Dragon Agnes!
Seeing Ren still silent, Victor stroked his chin and furrowed his brows, muttering to himself.
In just a few minutes, she believed that with her communication skills, she could offer a substantial olive branch to the young man before her.
Meanwhile, Admiral Edward and Duke Minster, standing beside them, turned dark with anger.
But if they waited until it completely corrupted the over 200,000 residents of Brightsin, it would be hard to say. The opponent might be able to recover most of their strength.
"Marn Province? The Marn Province on the other side of the Coldwind Tundra?" Ren suddenly thought of something and asked in return.
"Although Brightsin is remote, the city has over 200,000 residents. But after this attack, I estimate that at least a third of them are injured or dead." Count Isaac sighed and spoke.
Ren's performance in this battle was truly dazzling.
Adding to his original remaining points, he now had a total of 6 remaining attribute points and 4 remaining skill points, with 23 remaining golden skill points.
"Huh? The opponent's mount seems to be a Bloodplume Eaglewyrm, a relatively rare flying type of Savage Bird." A Federation Rear Admiral spoke up.
It wasn't that she could convince Ren to defect to the Federation in just a few minutes.
"Your Excellency, I am Governor Count Isaac. Thank you and the Griffin Knights for your timely rescue of Brightsin. Otherwise, this city might have been destroyed."
[Mutated Dragonkin First Form (Dragon Warrior Form): After activation, the body significantly increases in size, dragon scales appear on the surface, granting extreme defense and resistance, immunity to low-level poisons and diseases, and resistance to spells up to level 20.]
"Steward, I want all the information on the opponent." Lady Treana, the noblewoman, demanded without turning her head.
"How can this opponent be so young!" Admiral Rez, the highest-ranking officer in the Federation delegation, also observed the scene, removing his knight's helmet and currently washing the corrupted dragon's pus off Ren.
Instead, she would plant a seed in the young man's heart, a seed that might lead to his joining. She would also let the young man know that the Federation would always welcome him.
"Of course, then let's set off for our return journey." Lady Treana nodded and smiled.
Hearing this result, Ren couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Damn it, Victor was poaching right in front of him!
Hearing Ren's words, the Griffin Knights beside him all felt honored. Even Viscount Felix showed a look of camaraderie, and Ferse was so excited his face turned red.
[Effect of Mutated Dragon Bloodline (Pure): Greatly increases affinity with water, fire, and earth elements. Includes top-tier talent effects of Perception, Shadow Vision, Weapon Mastery, Extraordinary Insight, Gigantic Strength, Steel Body, and Dragon Roar. Possesses the ability to transform into the Mutated Dragonkin First Form.]
After dinner with his family, Anna, and the beautiful Lady Jennifer, Ren finally had time to check the battle prompts:
Although there were only three items, none of them could be easily achieved.
"Are all the monsters in the Sealed Gateway this terrifying?" Ren thought to himself.
At this moment, a large group of people dressed as City Guards, led by several knights on horseback, approached the corpse of the Corrupted Dragon Agnes.
However, Ren's brows furrowed slightly.
He didn't expect the bearded knight before him to be the Governor of Brightsin, a count.
"This..." Ren's expression became pensive.
"Find a place to land, let's go and pay our respects to our hero." Duke Victor waved his hand, his eyes sparkling.
Ren quickly controlled the Bloodplume Eaglewyrm and landed next to the fallen Corrupted Dragon Agnes.
Moreover, the Corrupted Dragon Agnes had even greater destructive power than a regular dragon.
"Not bad, not bad. This trip was worth it. The loss of the Hardened Mithril and Enchanted Silver Battle Puppets is just a small price to pay for this harvest."
"Count Isaac, the situation in Minster Province has been quite volatile lately. If anything happens, please contact me." Ren consoled.
Lady Treana had already made up her mind. As long as there was a chance, she would do her best to recruit the young man to the Federation's side.
"Viscount Ren, on behalf of the Federation delegation, I invite you to tour our Lancefort-class Battleship." Lady Treana smiled and invited.
At this moment, Count Isaac also learned from the Griffin Knight's introduction that the young man, Ren, was the Empire's Diamond Rank Swordsman and the Security Advisor of Minster Province. He couldn't help but feel impressed.
By this time, the sky was already darkening.
"Yes, it's over there. Does Viscount Ren know that place as well?"
"A complete set of Dragon Blood Essence?"
"To ensure the smooth continuation of your delegation's journey, I suggest we return to Mist as soon as possible. What do you think, Victor?" Victor said with a hearty laugh.
After the brief exchange, many of the people of Brightness also rushed over, expressing their gratitude to Ren and the Griffin Knights.
However, at this moment, he was representing the Empire on official business, and it wouldn't be appropriate to casually accept an invitation to board a foreign airship.
Ren glanced up, his eyes widening slightly in surprise.
"That's wonderful, Viscount Ren. I have three granddaughters. The eldest just turned eighteen and has become a full-fledged knight. She's currently studying at the Empire's Royal Academy and is very beautiful. How about we arrange a time for you to meet her?"
Who would have thought that Ren could actually defeat the Corrupted Dragon?
However, it was evident that Ren was still very interested in touring the Lancefort-class Battleship.
"No, it's absolutely clear! To advance to the Dragon Vein Wizard (Legendary) profession, there are only three conditions."
"First Form? Doesn't that mean there could be a subsequent Second Form and so on?"
Ren's eyes widened in surprise.
"Viscount Ren, I think you're quite young. Are you married yet?" Victor asked.
After the battle with the Corrupted Dragon Agnes, Ren's new Epic profession, 'Thousand Blades King', had leveled up four times, reaching Level 8, granting him 4 Attribute Points and 4 Skill Points.
The overall impression he gave was one of unique charm.
Basically, his close combat capabilities were at the Legendary peak, but considering the intensity of Agnes' Corruption Field, overall, he still barely possessed Epic-level combat power.
"As a fellow Swordbearer, my nephew is a Silver Swordbearer from the Marne Province."
"No, perhaps there's no chance of defeating it at all." Ren shook his head, thinking to himself.
"With the increase in the concentration of my Dragon Blood, the conditions to advance to Dragon Vein Wizard (Legendary) become clearer."
"Don't like it?"
Although they didn't quite understand Ren's actions, after some thought, they believed that Viscount Ren was probably confirming whether the Corrupted Dragon was truly dead.
"Hmm?" Ren was momentarily taken aback.
Viscountess Treana was still observing Ren through her telescope, while the other Federation officers who had narrowly escaped death were also curiously picking up telescopes to observe the Imperial Flying Knight who had defeated the giant dragon.
"But my youngest granddaughter is still too young, only ten years old."
He hadn't expected the prerequisites for Dragon Vein Wizard to be just three conditions. The prerequisites for the previous Epic profession, 'Thousand Blades King', were a whole bunch.
"At that time, defeating it will be much more difficult."
After all, it was a matter that could be easily discovered by asking around.
Ren, with the help of several Magic Wizards, thoroughly washed his body clean, and the Magic Wizards also cleaned the Bloodwing Horns.
At this moment, Duke Victor took long strides and quickly reached Ren's side, his face beaming with a smile as he enthusiastically held Ren's hand.
"To break through its Corruption Field and then tear open its chest to attack the 'Heart of Corruption' is not something an ordinary person can do."
When Ren arrived at the Training Room, he thought for a moment and then turned back to lock the door to the Training Room.
Looking back, the resolution of this incident could be considered fortunate.
"Viscount Ren, it's a bit of a pity to keep your strength in Mist. You should go to the Imperial Capital, where there's a broader stage and more resources for growth."
With so many people around, it wasn't appropriate to say too much, so Treana came up with an idea to invite Ren to tour the airship.
[Congratulations! Your 'Thousand Blades King' (Epic) profession level has increased!]
After witnessing Ren's strength, Duke Victor would surely spread the word in the Imperial Capital, and if he wanted to stay, it was unlikely he'd be able to.
Treana, thinking,
"Don't like it? It's fine. My other granddaughter is sixteen and already a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice. She likes to read ancient books and has an elegant temperament."
No.
"Then most Zero-Rank Sorcery will have no effect on me?"
"Thank you, Viscount Ren. The situation in Mist is still relatively good. My nephew in the Marne Province of the Empire's Northern Frontier is in a much worse situation! Three provinces have already fallen."
"Immune to up to twenty degrees of Sorcery damage?"
Currently, Agnes' dragon body defense didn't seem to reach the Epic level.
This is because Ren didn't know if this transformation into a Dragon Warrior Form would be exceptionally ugly, and he was worried about scaring his family.'
Another reason was that as the ultimate killer move, he didn't want others to know about his transformation into a Dragon Warrior Form, not even his own squad members like Vieri.
It wasn't a matter of trust, but to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, as in the Extraordinary World, there were many mystical means to confuse people or reveal the truth.
As Ren silently recited 'Transformation: Dragon Warrior Form', in an instant, his entire body underwent a tremendous change.
