Chapter 1483 1324: Red Dragon Origin Hex

Alex put the black bow away, turning back into his black dragon form.

Roar!!!

The black dragon's gigantic body once again obscured the sky itself.

He swiftly moved forward, bit down on the Magic Scale Dragon's head, and tore at it.

Suddenly, the black dragon lifted his head——-

He was holding the Magic Scale Dragon's severed head in his mouth.

The headless dragon's body fell, crashing to the ground.

This successfully influenced the battlefield below.

The soldiers of the enemy's empire began to scatter and flee.

The headless dragon's body fell to the ground.

The black dragon coldly watched this as the grey aura around his body suddenly began to move.

The black fog began to scatter from his body, appearing almost sentient as it enveloped both the dragon's head and body.

Using Snatch, one of Silveria's ultimate abilities in dragon's form resulted in the current situation, still, Alex was not too concerned about this. He couldn't stop now a tasty prey was in front of his eyes, he wanted to test something as well, to confirm if this was merely an illusion or an alternate reality.

The viscous, almost sentient black fog quickly devoured the entirety of the dragon's body and head.

"Come"

The black dragon grumbled.

Right now, even if his identity was exposed, he still had to absorb this dragon's power.

—-this was the complete power of a dragon, capable of helping him quickly become stronger!

The swirling black fog returned to the sky and then was absorbed into the black dragon's body.

? Argh… ?

The black dragon uttered a curt grunt of pain.

The overflowing and excessive Magic Scale Dragon's power struck directly at his mind, his soul, and his body, causing pain like being mutilated by a thousand blades.

A line of glowing text quickly appeared on the status system UI:

[You've killed a Magical dragon]

[The dragon's power had been fully absorbed by you as the Asura black Dragon]

[You've killed a mythical creature: the Magic Scale Dragon]

[Even with the power of your lineage, your usage of the dragon's race power was still too shallow. It had a not inconsiderable chance to triumph against you and kill you]

[This combat has been judged to be one between equal forces, and you will be rewarded the corresponding Experience Points]

[Experience Points are being calculated…]

As expected his gamble paid off, this is not a mere illusion, he couldn't earn some Exp if it was a simple illusion.

''Gah!"

Alex still in the black dragon's form uttered a curt grunt of pain again, and the pain intensified.

He disappeared to reappear somewhere, above the ocean. The black dragon uttered a pained roar, then twisted its body and turned into a Black cat.

——-[King of beast]!

He used Gluttony's Sin technique. He discovered an unexpected function of this Sin technique. His ability Snatch must have given birth to this after unlocking this Sin's technique.

[Power Absorption]

[You will no longer passively absorb the power of the soul from a specific target, but through eating and devouring, the power of the soul you can absorb will double]

The black cat waved his hand to summon an iceberg on top of the ocean before lying on it.

Sensing the changes in his body, the black cat felt calm.

Sure enough, the King of Beasts' form was specialized to absorb power in all forms, the sensation of being mutilated by a thousand blades is now completely gone.

That's better.

The black cat lazily lay on top of the iceberg to bathe in the sun, relaxedly closing his eyes.

Suddenly, a line of glowing text appeared in the void of space:

[After transforming into the Black cat using The King of Beast, the Experience Points you absorb will double]

[Furthermore, you're using the Asura's Dragon Bloodline power to devour the power of a mythical creature: the Magic Scale Dragon]

[The King of Beasts has an extreme level of power absorption; your absorbing process has sped up.]

Alex felt even better.

It doesn't hurt, I'm gaining twice as many Experience Points, and the absorption speed has also increased.

[The King of Beasts] is such a useful ability!

Lines of glowing text continue to appear in the void of space:

[Special reminder: Besides the portion being converted into Experience Points, the Magic Scale Dragon currently has several unique abilities remaining from which you can select one.]

[You have two choices]

[Firstly, you may choose one of these unique abilities to turn into your Power]

[Secondly, you may use the Asura Black Dragon power to fully consume them all and change your Dragon Bloodline ability.]

Alex didn't think too much, his race wasn't dragon anyway, so he would leave that to his sister, getting a useful ability is a must therefore he selected the first option without hesitation and multiple choices appeared in the void right before his eyes.

[Due to your existence (Your connection with one of the Ancestors of the dragons, an Original dragon), the Magic Scale Dragon's abilities are awakening.]

[You may choose one of the following inheritances from the dragon ancestor as your new ability.]

[Firstly, Magic Scale Armor!]

[Description: Whenever you take dragon form, you will grow a layer of Special Dragon Scales that is immune to all elemental attacks, as well as unaffected by curses, poisons, and diseases]

[This one has a body of steel, come and get me!]

[Secondly, Dragon Beating]

[Description: Whenever you take dragon form, your strength will become 5-fold, 10-fold, 15-fold, and 20-fold for the next four consecutive attacks, but you will become weakened for one second after.]

[I'm going to beat you to death!]

[Thirdly, Red Dragon Origin Hex – Twist]

[Description: Whenever another person calls your name (or any designations specifying you), if you answer them, their next attack will hit themselves]

[Guess who I am!]

[Fourthly, Dragon King Shield]

[Description: Whenever you turn into a non-dragon creature, a Law-manifested shield will hide around your body, ensuring that you will not be immediately killed in the events of an ambush.]

[Being undefeatable… is lonely]

Alex quickly skimmed through everything.

All of these abilities were ridiculously powerful, especially in this age of approaching calamity, they were nothing short of being given a piece of coal to warm oneself on a snowy night.

[Dragon Beating] was the first to be dismissed, the one-second period of being weakened was something that Alex could not accept.

[Magic Scale Armor] was limited to only his dragon form, while [Dragon King Shield] was generally only usable in his human form, so both of them had shortcomings. He couldn't choose this ability as he has a powerful Divine Sense to avoid ambush coupled with a defensive treasure, his amor Loki. He was not worried that Loki couldn't keep up now that he had gotten stronger because he had found his next powerful armor to take Loki's place, a certain Cloudy Vine but this was a matter for another time.

For now, he had to focus on choosing an ability and he knew right which one to choose.

The true deviousness lay in [Red Dragon Origin Hex – Twist].

Carefully reading the description of this ability, Alex felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

The reason why dragons are hailed the strongest, the apex of many races is not only because of their powerful physics or ridiculous mana capacity but because of their Hex (A/N: Dragon's Tongue if you want), powerful hex, capable of altering reality.

"I choose [Red Dragon Origin Hex – Twist]" Alex silently decided and soon he inherited this ability alongside the Magical Scale Dragon's origin power converted into Experience points.

After digesting everything Alex transformed into human form. Nothing beats your original form anyway. He was ready to move forward but first, he had to check his gains.

°°°°°

At the same time, somewhere in a throne hall.

Slender braziers surrounding each of the twelve marmoreal columns light up the entire throne hall and mantle the hall in warm yellows. The glass of the windows in the askew ceiling dances in the flickering light while marble icons look down upon the stone floor of this glorious hall.

A silver rug runs down from the throne and marks the closest spot people can stand when they address the royal highness while burgee banners with adorned tassels swing gently from the walls. Between each banner sits a small altar full of candles, they've all been lit and in turn illuminate the mosaics of divine beings below them.

Huge, tinted glass windows are edged by draperies colored the same silver as the banners. The curtains have been adorned with embellished borders and decorated tips.

A great throne of onyx sits beneath an impressively decorated baldachin (canopy) and is adjoined by three rather plain-looking seats for esteemed guests.

The throne is covered in divine emblems and fixed on each of the rather slim feet is a gemmed animal head. The light pillows are a dark silver and these too have been adorned with gilded tips.

Bahamut's clone was sitting on this great throne with a giant screen in front of him, from this screen, he was able to observe Alex's fight and he was greatly shocked by his strength, although he couldn't see everything thanks to Nyx's intervention on Alex's demand, he still saw most of the fight and he was surprised.

''Hehehe! The more I watch him, the more I like him and I can't wait to turn him into my subordinate. Chaos will suit him well I can feel it, there is something dark lurking in him. Should I make him mine or simply consume him to break free and get stronger?"

Bahamut's clone debated for a moment before shaking his head.

''Let's first observe before making a final decision.''

''Do not disappoint me the cursed child, show me more, I want more. Struggle more, hehehehehe!"

He was not too shocked to see Alex using other weapons, there's nothing special about that anyway.
