Brass Dragon
Brass Dragon.
To be honest, Soren really found it hard to connect the cute little girl in front of him with the huge adult Brass Dragon. However, most Dragon know Spell, so transforming into human form isn't that difficult for them. It's just that many Dragon don't like to Change Shape, and their combat power is weakened when Change Shape other creatures.
Polymorph.
Greater Polymorph.
There are many Spell that can transform one into a human, making it not so easy to retain combat power.
Most Dragon rarely Change Shape humans, considering the form too weakening. However, smaller creatures have their advantages, and occasionally some Dragon do prefer human form. In this respect, the Good Alignment Metallic Dragon tend to prefer Change Shape, while the Evil Alignment Chromatic Dragon prefer their Dragon form. There are likely many reasons for this, such as the Chromatic Dragon facing more enemies and needing to maintain their fighting strength at all times, Metallic Dragon possessing stronger Spell abilities, making it easier for them to Change Shape humans.
Here, I should also mention the ranking of Dragon ' combat power and some of their general characteristics.
The Chromatic Dragon of the Evil Alignment:
The Red Dragon, one of the five Evil Chromatic Dragon, inhabits volcanoes, its Dragon Breath is fire, it is arrogant by nature, and ranks number one in strength.
The Blue Dragon (Azure Sky Dragon), one of the five Evil Chromatic Dragon, inhabits the desert, its Dragon Breath is lightning, it is warlike by nature, and ranks second in strength.
The Green Dragon, one of the five Evil Chromatic Dragon, inhabits jungles, its Dragon Breath is poisonous mist, it is cunning by nature, and ranks third in strength.
Black Dragon, one of the five Evil Chromatic Dragon, inhabits the Abyss, its Dragon Breath is acidic, it is naturally frenzied, and it ranks fourth in strength.
The White Dragon, one of the five Evil Chromatic Dragon. It inhabits the icy plains, its Dragon Breath is frost, and it is gloomy by nature. It ranks fifth in strength (the weakest).
Five- Metallic Dragon of the Good Alignment:
Gold Dragon, one of the five benevolent Metallic Dragon, inhabits Dragon City. Its Dragon Breath is fire and lightning. It is proud by nature and ranks No. 1 in strength.
Silver Dragon, one of the five benevolent Metallic Dragon, inhabits Dragon City, its Dragon Breath is frost, and it is naturally affectionate. Ranked No. 2 in strength.
The Brass Dragon, one of the five benevolent Metallic Dragon, inhabits the desert, Dragon Breath fire, and is naturally talkative. Ranked No. 3 in strength.
The Bronze Dragon, one of the five benevolent Metallic Dragon, inhabits the underwater world and Dragon Breath lightning. It is naturally curious and ranks fourth in strength.
Copper Dragon. One of the five benevolent Metallic Dragon, it inhabits desolate mountains, its Dragon Breath is poisonous mist, and it has a wicked nature. Ranked No. 5 in strength.
These are the ten most common Pure-blood Dragon. In addition, there are Gem Dragon, but unfortunately they are rarely seen in the Material Plane.
Most gem-type Dragon live in the Elemental Plane.
Adventurer prefer Red Dragon (lots of loot), White Dragon (easy to deal with), and Silver Dragon (affectionate by nature), and dislike Green Dragon (very cunning), Brass Dragon (goofy and talkative), and Copper Dragon (often Mischief).
The Metallic Dragon is smaller than the Chromatic Dragon.
Red Dragon are the largest and most common type of Dragon, but Metallic Dragon have an advantage in spellcasting abilities.
Overall
Metallic Dragon are stronger than the Chromatic Dragon. For example, the little girl in front of Soren's eyes, her clan often fights against the most warlike of the Chromatic Dragon, the Blue Dragon (Azure Sky Dragon).
Dragon is still Dragon.
Although the girl in front of him was a seemingly harmless and adorable little girl, Soren remained far from relaxed.
He observed the other person's expression and slowly said, "I've come here to find an Elemental Crystal."
One point must be mentioned here.
One troublesome thing about dealing with Good Alignment Metallic Dragon is that they really like to use the ' Detect Thoughts ' Spell.
If you deceive them from the start, war might break out immediately! (Note: An important tip from the <Dragon Codex>.)
"Hmm."
The little girl in front of him gently lifted her long, pale golden hair, pouted as she stared at Soren, her own pale golden eyes blinking as she tilted her head and said, "It doesn't seem like you're lying to me!"
"Elemental Crystal?!"
"Let me think! Ah! That's it! Is this it?"
The little girl raised her hand and gently slashed, instantly creating a crack in the space before her. A dazzling golden light appeared, and she then reached out her delicate white hand to retrieve a fiery red Elemental Crystal. Seeing this, Soren's pupils constricted slightly. She actually possessed Extradimensional Storage; her spellcasting level seemed quite high. Metallic Dragon had an advantage in spellcasting, with the most powerful Gold Dragon even being renowned Loremaster. (Note: Gold Dragon have long beards, giving them an air of erudition.)
Elemental Crystal [Fire]!
Upon seeing the fiery red Elemental Crystal, Soren's expression immediately changed.
However, the little girl standing in front of him grinned and put it away, tilting her head to look at Soren, and said in a crisp voice, "You want it? Even if you want it, I won't give it to you! Hehe!..."
"It's mine."
"Everything on this mountain is mine, including the nearby desert."
"Now you're mine too!"
The little girl laughed arrogantly. Despite being so cute, her expression was so infuriating that she seemed like a silly, immature child who needed to be properly disciplined by an adult.
However, Soren was not so relaxed.
His expression was even a little tense, his whole body tense and slightly hunched, ready for battle at any moment.
"Um."
The little girl in front of him laughed arrogantly, then turned her gaze to Soren, her expression playful. "I'm going to take you back now!"
"Will you rebel? Rebel? Or rebel?"
Speechless.
Soren's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this. He slowly gripped the hilt of his sword and said in a deep voice, "Did I have a choice?"
The atmosphere of battle is about to erupt!
"Whee!"
The little girl tilted her head and chuckled, saying in a crisp voice, "Of course not! I finally managed to grab a toy!..."
"Of course we have to have some fun!"
No matter what kind of Dragon it is.
Whether they are on the Good Alignment or Evil Alignment, Dragon always share one extremely annoying trait: extreme arrogance and self-righteousness. They basically never consider the feelings of other creatures. They act entirely according to their own whims, so if you want them to talk to you properly, you have to show them your strength first. Even Dragon on the Good Alignment won't take you seriously unless you teach them a lesson.
--"Hold Person!"
The battle erupted in an instant.
The incredibly cute little girl in front of them suddenly flew up, raising her tiny white hand and pointing it at Soren.
There was absolutely no room to Dodge.
At this distance, within the Spell's direct range, Soren was hit instantly, and a row of data prompts appeared:
"Spell hit."
"You have been affected by the Brass Dragon's [Hold Person] Spell!... Mandatory Saving Throw throw penalty!... Fortitude Save throw passed!... Will Save throw passed!..."
"You are completely immune to the immobilization effect of that Spell."
Completely useless.
Soren's resilience and willpower, honed through years of intensive internal training, are no joke. Spell designed to knock someone down in an instant won't be so easy to apply to him.
Clang!
A cold, gleaming blade appeared.
Even though the girl in front of him looked incredibly cute and adorable, Soren showed no mercy whatsoever.
Boots of Speed activated.
Soren's figure flashed out in an instant, mercilessly slashing at the opponent's head.
"Greater Mage Armor!"
The little girl in front of him looked somewhat surprised. With a gentle wave of her hand, she opened Energy Protection Field. Change Shape human form meant losing the Dragon's innate advantage in melee combat. How could Soren not seize the opportunity to close the distance?
-- "Magic Missile x5!"
Magic Missile rained down as Soren, facing his enemy without holding back, unleashed the Spell of memory in an instant.
When Dragon Change Shape a human, it normally loses its Dragonkind Spell Resistance.
"Huh?"
The little girl's expression changed from surprise to delight. She clapped her hands and said, "You can even use Spell! That's great! You seem quite durable! You'll be a really fun character!..."
She didn't even glance at the sky full of Magic Missile, letting them rain down on her.
The next moment!
Soren's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he muttered, "This is impossible!!!"
"How can someone Change Shape a human have such high Spell Resistance!"
Unharmed.
Magic Missile acted as if they had never existed!
