Avatar Ancient Dragon

"Master, you're finally back."

Lang Pu waited cautiously before the portal leading to the Underdark.

He lowered his head, his ugly nose keenly catching the scent of blood on the Red Dragon, but he didn't say a word.

"Mortifer —that rat in the gutter is dead."

Keosius spoke in a flat tone, as if stating something trivial.

Lang Pu suddenly remembered Dragon Shadow City, ruled by Mortifer. The city had a superior geographical location and prosperous trade, and it might become a forward base for the Embers of the Burned Kingdom to advance into the Underdark.

But after secretly observing the Red Dragon's expression, the Ogre Mage realized that the dragon didn't seem to want to say anything more, and even seemed a little impatient, so he immediately gave up the idea of asking.

"Your power is enough to make the gods tremble."

"From now on, nothing can threaten North Wind Fortress."

Lang Pu knelt on the ground, flattering respectfully, his enormous, fat body resembling a mountain of flesh.

But Keosius seemed somewhat distracted, merely nodding slightly before flapping his wings and flying towards the Iron Dragon Wing Palace on the outskirts of the city.

After a long while, Lang Pu, who was kneeling on the ground, cautiously raised his head. After discovering that the Red Dragon's figure had disappeared, he took out a gold-threaded handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Master, he has become more powerful, but his personality has also changed."

"I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing."

The Ogre Mage gazed up at the fiery sunset on the horizon, his face filled with unease, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Meanwhile, inside the royal palace.

Keosius exhaled a Sulfur Scent cloud of smoke, his entire body enveloped in white smoke, Mars even flying from his pupils, and scorching flames gushing from the gaps in his scales.

He stared indifferently at the panel.

[You killed the Lion Guard-Oakland, gaining 1800 XP][You killed the Guardian Sword-Tyrande, gaining 1600 XP][You killed a Human Soldier, gaining 400 XP][You killed a Human Stableman, gaining 5 XP][You killed a Human Merchant, gaining 1 XP] On his way from North Wind Fortress Keep to the Royal Palace, he casually destroyed a human caravan that was coming from Strasbourg to trade.

The caravan was quite wealthy, with several high-level professionals serving as guards, more than enough to deal with bandits and robbers on the road, and even enough to handle the Yeti in the deep mountains. However, this was of no use to the Red Dragon.

These unfortunate humans only found themselves shrouded in a massive shadow. They looked up in terror, but before they could even cry out "Danger!" or "Warning!", the dark red, scorching fire descended from the sky like Divine Punishment. The flames engulfed them all, annihilating them without leaving a trace of their struggle.

No one will notice the disappearance of this caravan; perhaps they will only make a brief note in the ledger.

This caravan also provided Keosius with a final, meager bit of experience.

After hesitating for a moment between the two classes, "Bloodscale Berserker" and "True Dragon Sorcerer," he made his final choice.

[Your total Class Level has reached 17][[You have chosen to upgrade [True Dragon Sorcerer] to level 14][Due to the innate spellcasting ability of dragons, your current Caster Level is: 19][You are already one of the best Sorcerer in this world. You have gained an ability granted by the origin of your magic.] In his memories of his previous life, this level was a new leap for all professions, and Sorcerer would gain the ability of the origin of magic, becoming true high-level professionals, kingdom-level masters. This was also the reason why he hesitated for a moment and finally gave up on continuing to upgrade Bloodscale Berserker.

[You have gained a spell origin ability: [Avatar Ancient Dragon]] [Avatar Ancient Dragon]

True Dragon Sorcerer often consult with older predecessors or trace back to ancient beings who are the source of their bloodline. To better understand them, they may even transform themselves into ancient dragons.

You can choose one of the common True Dragon, such as the Five-Colored Dragon, the Metallic Dragon, or the Gem Dragon, and consume one drop of dragon blood to transform into one. During the transformation, you are essentially a true ancient dragon, possessing all basic attributes and Spell-like Abilities. However, these abilities are only for experience and can be used for a relatively short time, gradually fading after entering combat. "Not bad."

This is how Keosius commented.

That's an ancient dragon, a top-tier existence in the entire Material Plane. Even a slight experience with it would be incredibly beneficial, let alone the "short-term usage time"!

Keep in mind that the Ancient Red Dragon's Challenge Rating is 22, and the Ancient Gold Dragon even reaches a terrifying level 23. This level is enough to make them practically invincible in Erezege. Even Keosius would find it difficult to defeat an Ancient Gold Dragon without using the Breath of Chaos.

[You gain the additional Dragon Spell [Primal Hunter]] Primal Hunter 2nd Ring Transmutation Spell

Your muscles bulge with the memory of your ancestors' power, tensing up for swift action.

This spell reminds your body of the power of your ancestors, of the times when they struggled for survival. You gain a +5 performance bonus on climbing, jumping, and swimming checks.

"Useless thing."

Keosius's expression was somewhat unfriendly; such magic was practically useless to a dragon of his level.

[You gain the additional Dragon Spell [Dragon's Justice]] Dragon's Justice, a 6th-level Transmutation spell.

A bright yellow light shines outward from your body, making it look as if you are covered in glowing spikes.

You create an arcane force field around yourself that deals retaliatory damage to those who attack you. While the spell is active, any creature that attacks you with a weapon will be pierced by the force field.

"This can still be used."

Keosius casually shook his head, spitting out Mars from the corner of his mouth, feeling the heat flowing through his mouth.

But he was still pondering that tempting idea he had just had.

"Kill all life in the Prime Material Plane."

"Continue to rule the Embers of the Burned Kingdom. Or destroy this world and pursue that supreme power."

"Perhaps this really is a kind of Purification."

The Red Dragon was deep in thought, his "Heart of Kareks" throbbing with his powerful heartbeat, providing a constant stream of energy through his Base Blood Vessels.

He had never felt so full of energy in his body, as if there was endless energy waiting for him to release.

"Strength."

"This is everything that exists in this world."

Keosius extended his claws, spewing dark red flames from his palms, and then suddenly gripped them tightly.

Instantly, a tremendous Energy Burst erupted, causing a warm wind to be felt for miles around.

He felt an unprecedented power surging within his dragon body; even if a god descended in avatar, he was confident he could devour it with the Chaos Fire —it was more like a burgeoning ambition.

Hehehe

The Red Dragon grinned, revealing a ferocious smile once more, its wings trembling incessantly, as if it had made a certain choice.
