Chapter 368: Dragon Lord and Master
"This is..." Kai Xiusu narrowed his eyes, a flicker of surprise flashing in his淡金色 pupils.
The crimson runes on Misha’s body flared once more with a pulsing Flame Light, gradually coalescing into a translucent, ethereal Fire tether that linked directly to the Dragon Crystal on the Red Dragon’s chest.
Instantly, the sensation of Bloodline kinship intensified. The Fire Element surged and flowed between them, a living current of power.
Kai Xiusu had now become the so-called Lord and Master, while Misha had become his Pact Servant—this was no mere verbal agreement, but a binding, magically enforced contract rooted in the very essence of existence.
The Lord and Master could directly bestow Strength upon the Contractee, and in return, the Contractee’s growth would empower the Lord in kind.
"Spell?"
"Can he really grant even this?"
What astonished Kai Xiusu even more was that he could now transfer spells from his own Spell Catalog to Misha—even rare Dragon Spells. Though this bestowal was temporary, the Lord and Master could recall it at will.
Kai Xiusu paused to reflect, then cautiously passed through several spells: Claw Rake, Fear Tremble, Scorching Beam.
A ripple of invisible energy swept through the air. Misha, still unconscious, twitched slightly. Her brows furrowed, and within her mind, a new surge of strength began to awaken.
[Rare Group of Dragon Oath Wizards and Unique Dragons—Hybrid Dragon has sealed a Pact.]
[These powerful beings defy Mortal Entities, scorn the natural talents bestowed by Dragon blood, and endlessly pursue boundless ambition.]
[Each Hybrid Dragon is unique, yet all possess might far surpassing that of Mortals. Among them: Corrupt Demon Heart—Ashadelon, Death Dragon—Zogosha, King of the Burnt—Kai Xiusu.]
Faction Subclass completed:
【Dragon Oath Mage】
[A lean woman’s hands burst with flame. As she whispered the name of her Lord and Master, ancient incantations wove into her spells. Golden vertical pupils flickered into existence in the void.]
The Dragon Oath Mages of the Kingdom of Ashen have forged pacts with foreign Red Dragons. They wield mysterious, formidable Dragon Spells and stand united in allegiance to the kingdom’s sole Master—the supreme, unquestionable authority: King of the Burnt, Kai Xiusu.
These powerful spellcasters dedicate themselves to spreading the name of their Lord and Master across the Multiverse.
When the Dragon Oath Mages chant their Lord and Master’s name, BearBear烈Fire consumes every obstacle before them, reducing all to ash—dancing embers that delight their sovereign.
[Beyond the core abilities of the Oath Sorcerer, 【Dragon Oath Mage】 gains additional Traits:]
- Level 1 grants: 【Dragon Spell】, 【Dragon Heart】
- 【Dragon Spell】: When you learn a Pact Mage spell, your Red Dragon Master expands your available spell repertoire. You may learn spells from the Sorcerer’s Catalog, and also receive direct bestowals from your Lord and Master, enabling you to master ancient, forgotten Dragon Spells.
- 【Dragon Heart】: Your heart has been transformed by the Lord and Master’s strength. You now possess a Dragon-like magical heart and basal vessels. Your Constitution and Elemental Affinity are greatly enhanced.
- At Level 3, your otherworldly Lord and Master rewards your loyalty with a gift: 【Dragon Heart Pact】
- 【Dragon Heart Pact】: Through your Lord and Master’s generosity, you learn the spells of your Pact Familiar and may cast them as rituals. When you cast this spell, you can summon your Dragon Blood Familiar—must be aligned with the Kingdom of Ashen and possess Dragon Bloodline, such as Wyvern, pseudo-dragon, Goblinoid, Earth-Crawling Dragonbeast, etc.
- At Level 6, you gain a gift from your Red Dragon Master: 【Elemental Affinity】
- You begin to manifest the traits of your Lord and Master. You gain resistance to the Fire element, and all spells of that type deal additional damage.
- At Level 9, you receive a gift from your Red Dragon Master: 【Dragon Form】
- 【Dragon Form】: The Dragon Oath Mage prays to their Lord and Master, forging a deep spiritual and Bloodline connection, granting the ability to transform into a Red Dragon.
- The base form is that of a young Red Dragon. At Class Level 9, 14, and 20, you may transform into a juvenile, young adult, and full-grown Red Dragon, respectively.
- At Level 14, you gain a gift from your Red Dragon Master: 【Cross-Dimensional Breath】
- 【Cross-Dimensional Breath】: Your bond with your Lord and Master is so profound that you can magically open a temporary Passage, calling out to them.
- Your Lord and Master may then release their breath through this Passage, or even channel their Willpower into you—granting you the true, unyielding strength of the King of the Burnt.
Kai Xiusu studied the information closely.
"Lord and Master and servant... Interesting."
No wonder. With the Constitution of a Child of the Elements, this pact’s power was strong enough to even stir the Fire Element within the Red Dragon’s ancient bloodline. After all, this was a body infused with Ancient Dragon Bloodline, its essence already terrifyingly potent.
Misha finally stirred from unconsciousness, though she remained weak, lying on the ground, whispering faintly:
"Your Majesty..."
She lifted her head with great effort.
"I’m sorry... I’m still too weak. Is this… really enough to avenge Old John?"
Kai Xiusu spoke calmly:
"Misha, you’ve done more than enough. Embrace this strength. It will not let you down. As for Lanpu—he’ll arrange your accommodation. Near this Royal Palace."
As Kai Xiusu spoke, flames around them coalesced into solid form, weaving into a deep crimson, opulent robe that settled gently upon Misha’s slender frame, wrapping her in warmth.
【Flame Spirit Robe】
Quality: Uncommon
Even now, Kai Xiusu could craft gear of this caliber with just a fraction of his strength.
"Th-thank you for your Bestowal," Misha said, her voice filled with wonder. Her gaze upon the robe brimmed with affection.
Since Old John’s passing, Misha hadn’t worn a new garment in ages. For months, she’d survived in the wild—scavenging berries, hunting, clinging to life with nothing but her Fire Spells. Only after returning to Northwind Keep had her life improved slightly.
Now, for the first time in years, she felt a sense of reliance—though her bond with the King was, of course, worlds apart from her old loyalty to Old John.
"Go. Rest well."
As Kai Xiusu finished speaking, a portal appeared before Misha, and she was lifted into the air, vanishing without a trace.
The Red Dragon remained motionless, staring at the spot where Misha had disappeared. A Follower’s Character Sheet materialized before its eyes.

In truth, Misha’s starting point was beyond what most Sorcerers or Mages could reach in a lifetime. This was the sheer, overwhelming force of innate talent.
Even without formal magical training, enduring a life of unimaginable hardship—her past self had already become the fearsome Madfire Witch.
Now, under the vast protective wings of the Red Dragon, she would surely achieve far greater power than in her previous life. She would become a shining star in the kingdom’s sky.
Even Kai Xiusu felt a rare moment of awe.
"This kind of natural talent..."
"Tch. Now Lanpu might not even be the first Legendary in the Royal Realm after all."
