Chapter 268: Chapter 136: Dragon of the Scroll Dragon’s Nest.
The chilly wind of the Northern Land carried a hint of moisture, and when the Juvenile Dragon opened its eyes again, the ice and snow outside had already melted quite a bit. In the area where Duncan’s second Human Form resided, winter was very long, lasting nearly six months.
By now, the Juvenile Dragon had grown a bit larger, with sharp, metallic-looking spikes emerging at the tips of its Dragon Wings.
—Oh, little one. You’ve grown again.
—It’s time to learn how to fight using your Dragon Wings.
Currently, the Juvenile Dragon was in a period of rapid growth, and due to the Power of Gluttony, its growth rate had already surpassed that of most Giant Dragons.
Dimension Space.
On the small screen of the projection page, there appeared a grown Giant Dragon, its Dragon Wings spread wide and menacingly, stirring up a fierce wind as the framework of its wings swung past like a flag lance.
Boom!
The turbulent wind and immense force wielded by the pair of Dragon Wings directly demolished nearby trees, causing devastating damage to enemies within range.
—Dragon Wing Swing: With sweeping power, inflicts overwhelming damage to all enemies within range. The Giant Dragon’s strongest limbs are its Dragon Wings and Dragon Tail, possessing explosive power far superior to its four limbs. Characteristics: Crushing, Repelling, Knockdown. Can be enhanced into a Special Ability, adding an extra Wind of Magic.
Very strong.
Extremely strong.
With the Juvenile Dragon’s current strength, activating the Dragon Wing Swing could clear everything within a six-meter diameter, with the stirred wind causing dirt and stones to fly everywhere, blurring the enemy’s vision. In necessary situations, the bony spikes at the tips of the Dragon Wings could pierce through enemies like a lance, their power comparable to a Lance Charge, though a bit difficult to hit accurately.
Duncan controlled the Juvenile Dragon to practice a bit and thought to himself, "The power is great, but the Energy Bar consumption is also significant. It feels more difficult than a Fierce Dive, making it impossible to use continuously."
"It’s suitable for dealing with situations where you’re besieged by enemies."
"The next should be the Dragon Tail Horizontal Sweep?"
Thinking of this, the Juvenile Dragon looked at its own tail, not yet fully developed. It needs to grow heavy dragon scales like a battering ram; some Giant Dragons even grow large bone spikes on the tail looking just like a giant flail.
The Horizontal Sweep of the Giant Dragon’s tail explodes with the full power of the body, with a combat posture somewhat reminiscent of the dinosaur in Jurassic times with a tail like a battering ram.
"Giant Dragons really do have the innate talent gifted by nature."
Even Duncan, with his cheats enabled, felt like the Giant Dragon’s talent was akin to having open hacks.
The Juvenile Dragon didn’t even need to rush to learn Combat Skills; with time, the Combat Skills would emerge on their own. In the early stages, it just needed to develop well and improve its physical qualities.
The next consideration was how to bring the fisheries knowledge from the Middle Ages here.
When the Juvenile Dragon crawled out of the Dragon’s Nest, Duncan noticed that the surrounding ice and snow hadn’t melted. It’s likely due to the Wind of Magic generated during the Juvenile Dragon’s breath and hibernation, causing little change in this hundred-meter-diameter area covered in ice and snow.
According to legend, when a Giant Dragon grows to a certain extent, the geographical environment nearby will change because of its inherent magic.
The Juvenile Dragon spat out the Rose Ring from its throat.
The Giant Dragon’s chest has a storage area, but it can hold only a small amount of things. If truly swallowed, curiosities would be digested all the same.
A bit of Wind of Magic swirled.
With the Juvenile Dragon’s dragon claw donning the Rose Ring, its power was activated, quickly causing the Juvenile Dragon’s body to change. In a flash of spell spiritual light, there emerged a very young, probably only five or six years old, elven child, with dark skin, indistinguishable from a Dark Elf, but appropriate for the Juvenile Dragon’s life stage.
The Juvenile Dragon essentially equated to the age of about five or six years in other creatures; if not for the Power of Gluttony, it might have transformed into an infant form.
"Couldn’t it transform a bit bigger? More mature would be nice!"
Duncan tried to concentrate his mind and command magic, but soon a prompt appeared.
(Requires mastery of Transformation School Magic as a prerequisite.)
Alright.
Without mastery of the corresponding spell school, you can’t even control the change in form size. Duncan also found that after transforming into a Dark Elf, the Juvenile Dragon’s Mana Bar was still gradually depleting, at a slow pace, but not sustainable for long.
Focus the mind again, prompting: ’Requires mastery of Transformation School Magic to reduce mana consumption.’
Urgent!
Is there an enemy skilled in Transformation School Magic? Come on! Let me kill one!
Thank you.
The Northern Land was too desolate; Duncan adapted a little and decided to first seize the time to instruct the Ancient Catman Tribe. This decision came after finding signs during previous explorations of nearby rivers leading to the sea with melting ice, with schools of fish looming underneath, likely indicating certain fish species are about to migrate back.
Such an event typically happens once a year, and missing the opportunity means waiting until next year.
Very soon.
The Juvenile Dragon returned to its Giant Dragon form, spread its wings, and soared directly towards the Catman Tribe.
In the dense icy forest, a Catman Warrior heard the noise, looked up, and immediately said to his companion, "The dragon has awoken. Quickly inform the Priest."
"Have the clan prepare food."
Probably because of the Giant Dragon’s aura, there were barely any enemies near the Ancient Catman Tribe. However, these hunters did face some trouble, needing to travel farther for hunts. On the bright side, thanks to a few pees from the Giant Dragon nearby, there’s no worry of beasts approaching at night; even Winter Wolves, Northern Bears, Yetis, and the like, would all keep a safe distance.
It’s said that once there were wandering Ghosts nearby, but after the Giant Dragon appeared, even such Undying Souls vanished.
Evil retreateth.
The Ancient Catman Tribe, originally a primitive civilization of fishing, hunting, and nomadism, had shifted towards heavier reliance on fishing, forcing hunters to become fishermen.
But it’s well known that cats aren’t very good swimmers and don’t like water.
