BXBX NOVEL Chapter 42 Potential Increased
Even the dragon lord must have not expected its egg to not hatch after 20,000 years. The inscriptions in the wall had been made by the dragon lord to not let any of the mana to leak through this room, but after 20,000 the magic inscriptions weakened naturally.
Leading the mana in the crystal room to leak out, that must be the reason the two dragons were attracted to this mountain.
\'As for the reason why they fought is still a mystery....were they fighting for the egg...? or the dragon heart..?\'
Zick wasn\'t sure himself but the result of their fight was that the heart got destroyed. The two eggs\' situation was unknown.
BA-BUMP BA-BUMP
Zick stood right in front of the silver heart which was still beating loudly. Though his body shook in fear his eyes were clear without a hint of fear.
Extending his hand, Zick picked up the heart, the dragon lord\'s heart did not stop beating even in his hand. It gave out mana with nature\'s characteristics nonstop.
Bringing it near his mouth, Zick took a bite of it. It was very hard to tear but using mana to strengthen his jaw he was able to tear out a piece of flesh from it.
Chewing it, Zick felt it was very dry, it almost felt like he was chewing rudder.
GULP!
Zick gulped it down at once, not bothering chewing it anymore.
"Argh!"
A hot feeling rose in his heart, almost like someone lit his heart on fire. After a while the burning sensation vanished.
\'Why is there always pain accompanying everything that increases my strength?\'
Zick thought to himself sarcastically, he could feel the difference in his heart from before, a part of the dragon heart was absorbed by his body and turned into his heart.
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
Zick\'s heart made a vigorous sound, the blood pumped by the heart changed a little., Partially the blood pumped by his heart turned into dragon\'s blood. The mana nerves connected to the heart also changed, first the mana quality enhanced tremendously. Then his mana also started carrying the power of nature.
Zick could feel his senses increasing making him feel clearer than ever. His body was strengthened as his blood turned to that of dragons. He could even feel a faint amount of dragon fear which came out of his body.
\'This is it!\'
A big smile appeared on his face, he could feel that his potential was increasing exponentially. He looked at the silver heart in his hand with shining eyes filled with expectations. He started eating the heart piece by piece.
After a while.
Zick still had a smile on his face as he checked the changes in his body. He had directly broken through and become a peak rank knight and even passed the halfway mark which would normally have taken dozens of years.
But that wasn\'t the biggest change in his body. The blood pumped by his heart was slowly converted to that of a dragon and the blood which was already turned into dragon blood would be faintly strengthened when passed through his heart.
Usually when the mana quality increases it strengthens the body but Zick\'s situation was the other way around. His body was being strengthened to an unbelievable level, he had taken a sword and swung it towards his arm but the sword broke into pieces leaving only a scratch on his hand.
Zick could feel that when his bloodline fully converts to that of the dragon, he would be able to use a lot of other abilities owned by the dragons.
His body emanated dragon fear faintly as Zick had suppressed it. If not he gave off more dragon fear than the silver heart. Unlike the silver heart, Zick\'s heart was of black colour influenced by his mana.
Zick could feel another difference, the mana around him listened to his order naturally.
A fire ball appeared above his hand when he tried controlling the mana around him and imagined it.
\'.....I didn\'t even imagine that hard....\'
His affinity with mana increased without him noticing. he could see the mana around him which means his mana sensitivity also increased by a lot.
Zick couldn\'t even say his current limit, after eating the dragon lord\'s heart his potential had increased without any boundary and it was still increasing.
Seeing the rate at which his blood was converted to dragon blood it would probably take a few months to fully become a dragon blood humanoid. He could even feel his lifespan increasing as his blood became that of dragons.
\'Without a doubt I am a lot stronger than a normal peak rank knight.\'
Zick looked at his appearance reflected by the crystal wall, there were no changes in his body yet.
\'Now all the problem about my limited potential have been solved\'
Zick felt his mood getting better by the second, he had been worried about his potential from a very long time but now that it had all been taken care of he could not hide his good mood. The smile on his face didn\'t leave him for a long time.
Zick looked at the two dragon eggs beside him in some distance. He could feel a mysterious connection with himself and the eggs. He felt the life within the two eggs to be very lively, seeing that they were not going to hatch anytime soon he became lost.
\'The space ring can\'t store any living being...\'
Thinking of what to do with the two eggs, Zick heard a loud growl.
Crerrrrgh!
With Zick senses which were enhanced now, he was able to hear the sound of what happened out of the room in the distance easily.
The wyvern started entering through the hole made by Zick, after the dragon fear vanished there was nothing stopping them from coming underground. Zick was suppressing the dragon fear right now too.
A nice idea suddenly appeared in Zick\'s head thinking about the wyverns.
\'Now that I have dragon fear, I should be able to make them submit to me.\'
Zick\'s lip perked up thinking of this, doing this would solve a lot of problems at once. Leaving the eggs behind, he started running, his figure blurred and vanished, appearing a few metres in front.
CRACK!!
The crystal below Zick\'s feet cracked.
\'Ah....I should get used to my new strength\'
Zick started running at a moderate speed which he could control properly, slowly he increased his speed but by then he was already out of the room.
\'I was able to run faster than my full speed using mana before getting the dragon lord\'s heart easily now and even surpass it vaguely....\'
Zick was again surprised at his prowess. He had run without using mana which showed that his physical strength has been improved a lot.
Crerrrrgh! Crerrrrrrrgh! Crerrrrrrrgh!
The wyverns looked at Zick angrily, they remember this intruder who had entered their territory and even escaped.
Lifting up his head, Zick flashed a smile towards them and started releasing his dragon fear, not holding back at all.
The wyverns heading towards him with angry gaze were surprised, feeling the dragon fear from Zick, it stopped and flapped its wing in the air.
"Kneel"
The voice coming out of Zick\'s mouth was cold, the meaning behind this word was carried to the wyvern through the mana.
Not being able to resist the dragon Fear they descended in front of Zick and put their heads on the ground showing their submission.
\'The body of the wyvern sells for a very high price...\'
Choosing a wyvern which looked the strongest and largest, Zick killed the other wyverns easily as they could not resist him.
Putting the dead bodies of the wyverns within his space ring, Zick got upon the wyvern he had chosen.
Zick did a little experiment with his dragon fear to be able to use it more efficiently in the future.
When he suppressed his dragon fear the wyvern stopped following his order and even resisted.
After experimenting for a while, Zick found the best way to use dragon fear, after giving it an order while not suppressing his dragon fear, he would still let a faint amount of dragon fear to leak. This way the wyvern would follow his prior order not resisting.
"Go inside the dragon den"
Zick did not suppress his dragon fear as there was no one near him right now.
Crerrrrgh...
With a low growl the wyvern started flying within the room towards the two eggs.
Picking up the eggs which almost reached till his waist, Zick positioned them in a way that they wouldn\'t fall down easily while flying.
In the end he sat beside the eggs and looked if there was anything more in the room.
\'Its empty....:
Feeling disappointed again, Zick ordered the wyvern to get out of the underground and took out the map of the Mhydrasvil empire. There was another thing that Zick needed.
\'The cursed sword, Grace\'
