Beneath the Red Dragon

Chapter 62: Chapter 19: Dragon Descendant (Part 2)

They roared at each other, tearing each other’s bodies apart, deciding victory or defeat in the most savage and simple way. Teeth and claws unleashed unimaginable destructive power on their bodies, with blood flowing like rivers and flesh everywhere.

The weaker ones perished at the hands of the stronger, and their bodies were devoured by the victors. After satisfying themselves with flesh and blood, these victors, replenished with nutritional energy, entered slumber, just like the Giant Dragons.

A layer of extremely tough skin began to grow on the surface of their bodies, and short spikes emerged from the facial skin of various appearances, transforming into the legendary bloodline of the Dragon Descendants.

The most powerful Centaur and Wolfman among these creatures also underwent some magical and bizarre mutation under the radiating influence of the increasingly potent bloodline of the Red Dragon.

In the absence of food supplementation, they too, through some mysterious method, fell into a voluntary slumber. The bodies of the Wolfman and Centaur experienced different changes on the surface.

The Centaur’s bloodline was already inferior to the Blood of Ancestral Evil Dragon of the Red Dragon, so although his strength was greater than that of the Wolfman, he was more significantly affected.

The Centaur’s already resilient outer skin was covered with crimson scales, similar in color to those on the body of the Red Dragon, granting him a stronger defensive capability than before.

The tail of the Centaur also began to transform into the tail of the Red Dragon. The plush hair of the horse tail began to fall off, and the newly grown hair was coarse and short, resembling some kind of leathery spike.

His ears transformed into erect ears like those of the Dragon Descendants, and his body became even stronger under this influence, with his slowly beating heart making a sound like the drumming of a heartbeat.

A similarly wondrous change occurred with the Wolfman.

However, the Wolfman did not grow scales like those of the Red Dragon on his body; instead, his hair gradually fell away, and a layer of extremely tough leather skin covered the Wolfman’s original skin.

The regrown fur turned white mixed with crimson, like a layer of flame burning on white fur. Two wings burst forth from either side of the Wolfman’s shoulder blades, and when they reached a certain size, a layer of red fine scales began to cover the newly grown flesh wings.

Two small Dragon Horns emerged from the beautiful fur atop the Wolfman’s head. If these Dragon Horns hadn’t continued to grow and thicken over time, the Wolfman’s head would look hilariously like it had four ears.

The bodies of the Juvenile Dragons too began to change amid the growth of their bloodline, traversing the limitations of age due to the nourishment of their bloodline, and once again engaging in growth and development.

Their previously somewhat fine scales began to grow larger and thicker, and the color of the scales gradually shifted from bright to deep.

Spines of varying lengths began to spread from both sides of their heads, just like Karon’s, resonating with the nest effect as the growth of the bloodline also achieved confluence to some extent.

Kleyna, the young female dragon, who continually engaged in combat and drank deeply of her adversaries’ blood, seemed to have satisfied some craving within her Evil Dragon Blood.

The will of the Evil Dragon Blood quietly receded, and a more powerful force was born from within Kleyna’s bloodline.

A scent similar to that of the Blood of Ancestral Return on Karon emanated from Kleyna, and although it was far less intense than Karon’s, without a doubt, this Red Dragon had also successfully embarked on that successful path.

The Blood of Ancestral Return, the most orthodox and powerful method for the Giant Dragons, existed because Giant Dragons were born of the Dragon God. Thus, the closer the bloodline of the Giant Dragon is to the Dragon God, the more strength they possess.

Karon, the strongest Red Dragon among the Dragon Group, also continuously adjusted his body amid the growth of his bloodline.

After repeated exercises of using will to influence Heart Energy for enhancement, Karon had now begun to let his will influence Heart Energy, making adaptive adjustments to his body amid the growth of his bloodline.

Originally, when the Five-Color Dragon was born in the hands of Dragon God Tiamat, they all basically possessed a very strange body proportion.

The long neck, like a serpent’s, occupied about one-third of the body’s proportions. The tail also took up one-third, leaving the relatively most important body to also make up a third of the proportions.

Although the relatively thicker neck of the Red Dragon covered up this overly strange proportion compared to other Five-Color Dragons, Karon still felt that the proportion was too ugly.

Moreover, the overly long neck appeared more vulnerable to attacks, representing a weakness. Furthermore, analysis by the Sub-brain showed that for the Red Dragon, this proportion bore more disadvantages than advantages.

Thus, under Karon’s influence, analyzed and controlled by the Sub-brain, his already somewhat adjusted neck gradually shortened its body proportion, turning into a relatively normal length and not appearing abrupt.

His neck hence grew more robust, with thick muscles and skin enveloping the neck, perfectly matching the imposing and fierce head, exhibiting a unique aesthetic of power.

His body thus grew longer and sturdier, allowing for further expansion of developmental limitations within his internal organs. His blood vessels and various organs adapted due to the increase in body size,

his blood vessels and various transmission nerves thus widened, and his heart grew as well, meaning that in the future, the flow of blood and Magic Power within him would be more turbulent.

His explosiveness was also enhanced, capable of unleashing unimaginable power under Mental Overclocking.
