Chapter 348: The Second Form
Chapter 348: The Second Form
High in the sky, a Blood Feather Gryphon soared swiftly, carrying a passenger.
Anna, slightly anxious, pointed towards a canyon on the side of the Frostfall Mountains, "Ren, look over there!"
Ren followed Anna's gaze and saw a massive creature resembling a winged lizard wreaking havoc among a crowd in the winding canyon below.
Ren narrowed his eyes and, without hesitation, directed his Blood Feather Gryphon towards the canyon.
As they rapidly closed the distance, the enormous figure of the creature became clearer. Its valiant fighting silhouette also quickly caught Ren's attention.
"Horned helmet, beast leather, war axe, and a rugged build..."
Ren's mind instantly flashed with the words, "Barbarian Tribe!"
If not for this, anyone else would be a waste of time! However, the opponent's flying mount was clearly a bird, not a dragon, so it couldn't be a Guardian-level figure.

"Only someone who can defeat Colossus head-on."
Like before, in an instant, Ren felt his skin tingling as if he had come into contact with Colossus' blood, and a scorching sensation rose, as if something was seeping into his body in large quantities.
"Where did the Norton Clan find such fearlessness, willing to risk their lives."
However, the next second, anger surged within him.
About four-fifths of the opponent's body flashed with blue light, indicating strong defensive capabilities.
Time was on his side.
"And, of all times, why now?"
A metal chrysanthemum leaf with backward-facing thorns instantly pierced the soft innards.
Ren continued to control the Blood Feather Gryphon, diving swiftly towards the canyon area.
At this moment, Colossus felt the sting and reacted, surprised that the little one he had ignored could actually hurt it.
Ren's skin had completely turned dark gray, and dragon scales the size of fingernails protruded from the surface. Simultaneously, his originally flat fingernails transformed into sharp and elongated claws, like those of a fierce beast.
It wasn't that he didn't want to pursue, but his physical condition wasn't ideal at this moment.
With a dragon's roar, Ren's entire body suddenly swelled, and the Secret Silver Embellished Plate Armor on his body emitted a cacophony of cracking sounds before shattering into pieces.
"Hmm, because the opponent injured someone important to Ren." Anna's face was much calmer, though she had a hint of worry, but she seemed to have an inexplicable faith in Ren.
In an instant, Lagrelle's emotions were conflicted. She hoped the opponent was Ren, yet she also hoped it wasn't him! She felt like a princess about to be abducted by an evil dragon, only to encounter her warrior savior.
"You're just seeking death by doing this!"
The next second, Colossus's entire spine slammed heavily onto the ground, followed by an earthquake-like impact that sent shockwaves rippling outward, enveloping everything in a cloud of dust.
At that moment, he saw a familiar giant shield and a familiar figure charging towards Colossus!
But she didn't want to interfere.
"Ignorant humans."
It was clear that the key to turning the tide of this battle lay in defeating the primordial dragon, Colossus.
Colossus seemed unable to bear the pain any longer and was unwilling to continue fighting. Taking advantage of Ren's brief moment of distraction, it spread its weary wings and swiftly fled.
"Ren!"
"Ren, what about you?" Anna instantly guessed something, and when she turned to look, she saw Ren's face ashen. For a moment, she couldn't bring herself to speak.
It was too conspicuous.

"Daring to challenge the great Colossus, how foolish!"
Ren transformed into his first form, the Dragonborn Warrior, and the sight of him piercing Colossus's spine with his lance was enough to make the pupils of everyone around them constrict in shock!
Just then, Colossus, who had been distracted, realized that the little one it had ignored had transformed into a dragonbeast with an aura similar to its own.
"If the opponent can heavily injure Colossus, when High Priest Erickson arrives, who knows what advantage they might gain."
But how was that possible? In this disadvantageous situation, even if the entire Winterfort Academy's wizards came to their aid, it would be difficult to help the barbarians turn the tide.
If it had been Lagrelle who was injured instead of him, Ren would have charged in without hesitation.
If an enemy tried to launch a threatening attack from Colossus's back, it would likely dismiss it with contempt.
During Ren's previous battle with the Black Flame Cult's High Priest, both had transformed, but the vaporization and brief transformation duration had led the two women to believe Ren had defeated a normal enemy.
In the current situation, only the Dragon Knights of the Dragone Empire could repel Colossus and turn the tide.
"Armor Piercing Strike!"
Of course, these weak points weren't static. As Colossus changed its fighting stance, these weak points transformed from red to yellow.
The Black Robed man, Rom, also frowned upon seeing this scene. He couldn't understand why this sudden flying knight chose to attack the most well-defended part of the Prime Dragon Colossus.
A Black Flame Cultist observing from the high peaks of the Frostfall Mountains also spotted Blood Feather's tracks and immediately turned to Crowley, saying:
Ren thought for a moment and decided not to pursue.
Ren's absorption process took longer than before, almost six seconds, before he returned to his original state.
Both sides on the battlefield noticed the silver meteor.
"Shadow Step!"
"High Priest Crowley, look, what is that?"
"Ah!"
Following Blood Feather's flight path, Crowley saw that the opponent was indeed heading towards the center of the battlefield, charging at the Prime Dragon Colossus. He shook his head and sighed:
In an instant, the Prime Dragon Colossus's three-dimensional pattern was quickly outlined in Ren's field of vision, with blue, yellow, and red points marking the differences in defensive strength.
"However, his strength is close combat, which is also my specialty!" Ren narrowed his eyes, instantly making a decision.
The situation was indeed as Melita had said.
Amidst the billowing dust clouds, the massive Prime Dragon Colossus had flipped over, seemingly crushing Ren, who had been on its back, beneath its massive body.
If Ren was trying to rescue someone named Lagrelle, then having Blood Feather the Gryphon pick her up and fly away would be the best choice.
It was like being stung by dozens of bees, although the bees might only be able to sting once before dying, but the pain was still intense.
"What a pity, she's just seeking death." Another Black Robed man shook his head and said.
At this moment, Ren in mid-air canceled his floating technique, and his entire body accelerated downwards with the force of gravity, his descent becoming faster and faster.
As time passed, he only grew stronger.
For the tiny intruder who suddenly appeared in mid-air, the Prime Dragon Colossus, relying on its senses, naturally noticed it, but it didn't seem to care.
Because the evil dragon was too strong."Bad! The spine is the strongest defense of the Prime Dragon, fool, don't attack there!" Just as Lagrelle was about to shout in a panic to remind Ren, a mouthful of blood surged up.
Suddenly, the Prime Dragon Colossus's expression changed as it felt something rising beneath its body, and the stinging pain on its back became more pronounced.
For example, the Prime Dragon Colossus's physical defense was extremely strong, especially its back and limbs, which had an absolutely Epic Tier defensive strength. Therefore, Winterfort Academy strongly discouraged close combat with the Prime Dragon Colossus.
"Hmm, the opponent doesn't seem to be High Priest Erickson, as no one in the church has a blue and purple flying mount."
Not to mention the side effects of transformation.
Right above the Prime Dragon Colossus, it was hard not to notice.
"Lagrelle!" Anna also exclaimed in surprise.
As for the Prime Dragon Colossus, it would be best to head to Winterfort Academy first and discuss with the academy's higher-ups before making any plans.
Although the Barbarian was surrounded, Ren saw that the Barbarian was bravely counterattacking, and the situation was not hopeless.
"Is Ren going to fight the Prime Dragon?" Melita's face paled.
But the next second, Melita was astonished to find that Ren, who was in front of her, suddenly stood up.
The White Bear Monsters, led by the Bear Priest, seeing this, all breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, they thought that an extraordinary person had arrived, but now it seemed that they had been overly worried.
Yes.
On the other side of the mountain, Crowley shook his head regretfully and said, "What a pity, that young man was brave, but like the Barbarian, his mind was a bit dull. He didn't know how to dodge and only knew how to fight head-on!"
At this moment, the system prompt suddenly rang: 【Ding! Detected that the host has received the Dragon Blood Baptism from the Giant Prime Dragon Colossus and discovered a large number of absorbable dragon gene fragments. Absorb?】
Each petal of the chrysanthemum was like a fishhook.
The female Barbarian warrior holding a giant shield was still a very noticeable presence on the intense battlefield.
Obviously, this Prime Dragon's body was extremely tough, and its close combat ability was indeed strong, as Olena's intelligence had suggested, with almost no weak points in its defense.
The two looked at each other, both unsure of the other's origins.
Because they saw that the Prime Dragon Colossus's massive body formed a convex shape.
The elite Barbarians surrounding the Prime Dragon Colossus all exclaimed.
Obviously, she had also seen Lagrelle.
In an instant, only some fragments remained, still hanging on Ren's expanding body.
Only at the ends of the flesh wings, the roots of the thighs, and a few side scales on the abdomen were there faint red dots.
Could it be that the opponent didn't know the specific situation of the Prime Dragon Colossus and suddenly launched an attack?
The sight made her scream.
Oh heavens! What did he see! Is this still a human? The White Bear Monster Priestess, who was running downhill, stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the nearby Bear Monster Guard supported her.
"Hiss! Hiss!"
Although the opponent's transformation was stunning.
Because Lagrelle was hit by the Primordial Dragon, Colahus, and just like the other four or five Barbarian Warriors, they were all blown away several meters and fell heavily to the ground, obviously not lightly injured.
Ren suddenly discovered that the four-meter-long lance in his hand, after piercing the gap in the other's back scale armor, only pierced about half a meter deep, and then encountered an extremely tough resistance.
But at this moment, the situation in the middle of the battlefield changed abruptly.
At this moment, the Barbarian Warriors in front of him, these stubborn barbarians, still fearless of death, launched an attack on him.
"Are these Barbarian reinforcements?" The two of them couldn't help but whisper the same answer.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
The white wizard robe was torn by the powerful gust of wind, revealing the bright silver Secret Silver Embellished Plate Armor underneath, and the hardened Mithril in his hand instantly deformed into a long lance.
A strong Dragonborn, his body glowing with blood-red light, used a lance to lift Colahus up.
A few hours ago, the Winterfort Academy's messenger had spoken to them about some precautions when fighting Colahus.
"His Majesty Colahus is actually injured!" The Bear Monster Priestess muttered to himself, incredulous.
At this moment, Ren held a face-sized dragon claw, gripping a four-meter-long lance, as if holding a dagger.
The same thought flashed through the minds of the White Bear Monster Priestess and Velti, who were running below the mountain pass.
Ren, who was rapidly descending, activated the core skill 'Weak Point Control' of the Epic Tier profession 'King of a Thousand Blades' for the second time.
"The White Bear Monster is attacking the front end of the Barbarian Warriors, the Primordial Dragon Colahus is wreaking havoc in the middle, and there's a group of mercenaries led by a few Black Robes attacking the rear of the Barbarian Warriors."
Norton, who had just broken free from the blue ice block and was heavily injured, saw that Ren had chosen to attack the back of the Primordial Dragon, Colahus, and couldn't help but shake his head regretfully.
Norton, Velti, and Rom, the High Priest, were all shocked and looked at each other in disbelief.
The continuous stabs of the chrysanthemum lance made Colahus feel like he was being sliced apart, causing him intense pain, and he immediately screamed!
So, Colahus's attention was now focused on these 'bees'.
Although the previous strike didn't hit its heart, it pierced deep into its internal organs, causing an exceptionally strong sensation of pain.
The surrounding crowd stared at Colahus with wide-eyed amazement.
Colahus's heart raced, his hundred-ton body pressing down, ensuring the other's certain death.
The injured Colahus roared in anger, and like a meteor crashing to the ground, he started to roll on the spot, seemingly trying to shake Ren off his back.
"Look, what's that!"
"Boom! Boom!"
The previously resilient dragon scales shattered under the intense pressure from Colahus, and Ren experienced his first injury in Dragon form.
They had already rushed down from the mountain pass, and as subordinates of the Primordial Dragon Colahus, they naturally wouldn't stand by and watch after seeing their master's appearance. Instead, they joined the battle.
As he dove towards the battlefield, he resembled a silver meteor, and his target was the back of the Primordial Dragon, Colahus.
In Melita's heart, the current battlefield situation seemed beyond salvation.
Following the subordinate's pointing, Crowley whispered as he looked at the gradually enlarging dot in the horizon, "Could it be the High Priest? But how could it be just one person?"
"It's over, this situation is simply a losing battle," Melita exclaimed, her face filled with shock.
Lagrelle's eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape, and she looked at Ren, who was descending from the sky at this moment! "Oh heavens! Ren?"
But for the Barbarians, it seemed they had no other choice.
Anna and Lagrelle, who were on the Blood Feather Gryphon, and Melita on the ground, couldn't help but exclaim.
"Moreover, High Priest Erickson loves a grand entrance and never travels alone."
"Not good, Ren, this... this is the Primordial Dragon, Colahus!" Melita also observed the situation below and exclaimed in fear.
Ren chose 'Yes'.
Crowley, who was observing from the mountain pass, was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.
"Pfft!"
At this distance, she could clearly distinguish the other's figure and general appearance.
She could only focus on attacking Colahus's eyes, thin wings, and other relatively weak areas.
Although Colahus's defense was exceptionally strong, perhaps his internal organs had a resilience and elasticity several times, or even tens of times, that of humans.
The probability is high that after thoroughly killing Colossus, and bathing in dragon blood again, the concentration of his dragon bloodline will be enhanced.
"Huh? It didn't increase the concentration of the bloodline?"
Then, in the air hundreds of meters above, he suddenly leaped, and his entire body pounced towards the ancestor dragon, Colossus.
"But that's the strongest defense of the ancestor dragon, too reckless!"
"How did he come to the Wind-Tundra?"
Just like the previous Chief Darius, the chosen hacking part was also the ancestor dragon, Colossus' flesh wings, rather than the sturdy limbs of the other party, or the thick-scaled back.
The ancestor dragon, Colossus, felt a bit of panic for the first time, and he discovered that he seemed to have completely misjudged the strength of the other party.
Hmm? This familiar figure and face?
When Ren looked up at Colossus again, he saw that the other party was already dragging his injured body and flying north.
"A significant increase?!"
In addition, on the Blood Feather, there were also Anna and Melita, two women. He couldn't take the two women to fight in the air with the ancestor dragon, Colossus. Ren wasn't worried that Colossus would recover and come after him. He couldn't wait!
At this moment, lying on the ground, the blood-stained Lagrelle also saw the silver meteor falling straight down not far away.
The entire scene of the battle had already entered Ren's eyes.
However, even so, at this time, it was still difficult to pierce deeper.
"By the way, how come High Priest Erickson hasn't arrived yet? It's about time, and he should have arrived by now." Crowley frowned and muttered to himself.
"It's over!"
It's just a joke!
As Blood Feather approached the center of the battlefield, Ren quickly assessed the combat power of the ancestor dragon, Colossus.
This was still the effect obtained under the action of two top-tier ultimate arts, with the help of gravity and the use of metal deformation to turn the top of the spear into a golden chrysanthemum shape.
"How is this possible!"
"It seems to be attacking that monster!"
"How could it be him?"
Faced with such giant-sized oppression, everyone present felt that Ren was definitely dead.
But after all, the internal organs are the internal organs.
The two women on the Blood Feather, with wide-eyed and tongue-tied, especially Anna, who lived with Ren day and night, but also never knew that Ren actually had the ability to transform.
He could see that the power of Ren's attack was quite good. If the chosen attack part was changed to the flesh wings of the ancestor dragon, there was a high probability of achieving some battle results.
Melita also intended to ask Ren if it was a long-term plan, after all, judging from the entire battle scene, the defeat was already difficult to reverse.
However, it was also because of the injury that allowed Ren to activate the core skill 'Blood Rage' of the epic profession 'Thousand Blade King' for the first time, and the combat power surged, which could defeat the hundred-ton body of the ancestor dragon, Colossus, and lift half of it.
However, he slightly felt the state at this moment, and he felt that perhaps due to the insufficient amount of dragon blood bathing, his current state should be a state that belongs to the so-called imminent promotion.
"It's over!"
After all, in the following battle, as long as the brain is normal, no one will get involved.
Not to mention Melita.
As the pain penetrated the bone marrow, the ancestor dragon, Colossus, let out a thundering scream.
Ren could feel that his power surged, but his own dragon bloodline concentration was still at the 'Pure' level, and he did not promote to the next level.
"Anna, you control the Blood Feather and find the opportunity to rescue Lagrelle." Ren's voice was unusually calm and cold at this moment.
The tailbone position also quickly grew a tail more than one meter long covered with dragon scales.
In the remaining area, most of them were also flashing with yellow light, indicating moderate defense.
The scales on its back were particularly thick, one of the strongest defensive parts.
"You insignificant worm, do you think you can hurt the great ancestor dragon, Colossus!" With the vibration of the chest and abdomen, the rolling sound waves came.
And as Ren repeatedly pulled out the chrysanthemum spear, a large lump of light blue dragon blood with a hint of coolness, like a blue waterfall, poured onto his body.
With Ren's powerful thrust, the four-meter-long spear was completely thrust into the back of the ancestor dragon, Colossus. Moreover, Ren also activated the metal deformation technique, turning the top of the spear into a golden silk chrysanthemum shape.
(Note: After absorbing this dragon gene fragment, the host's dragon bloodline concentration limit can be significantly enhanced.) This made Ren stunned for a moment.
"Oh my! Miss Anna, Master Ren has gone down!"
"Wow! Who...who are you?"
"Dragonborn General Form!"
Naturally, this level of damage would not let the ancestor dragon, Colossus, be injured.
But that was like a meteor from the sky, the surprise lasted only a few seconds, a flash in the pan.
Hmm? Why didn't the other party run?
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The next time they meet the ancestor dragon, Colossus, the other party should have no chance to escape again.
"Hmm?"
"This"
Ren was stunned for a moment, and he saw that there was a prompt in the system: 【Congratulations, with the blessing of the bloodline power, you have unlocked the second form of the Dragonborn (Dragonborn General Form)!】
