BXBX NOVEL Chapter 572 New Powers
-----
Ding!
[Your Connection with your Tamed Monster: [Ruby] has evolved!]
[You have now created a [Dragon Contract] with the Small Blood Dragon Ruby!]
[You acquired the [Dragon Master: Lv1] Title Skill!]
[You learned the [Dragon Connection: Lv1] Skill!]
[All your stats have increased!]
After Ruby\'s evolution, I have attained the powers of a dragon!
…Or well, partially. I still need to strengthen the connection by making Ruby grow stronger.
Nonetheless, now I had three sources of powers beyond just Mana. I had my developing Vampire Physique to fuel me with Vampiric Powers, such as Blood and Darkness Ki, then there is the Demon Arm which is developing rapidly, fueling me with Demonic Energy, and then there\'s the Dragon Contract, granting me Dragon Power.
Vampires, Dragons, and Demons. They were perhaps one of the three strongest races in the entire Universe. Although my previous life was born as a street rat, there were many prestigious families of Vampires across the universe.
They dominated entire galaxies, even, and held great power and authority. However, they also held their opposing force, their opposites, who instead of ruling with intelligence and cunningness, dominated everything with brute force, Dragons.
Much like Vampires, if not even more intimidating and powerful, Dragons dominated another part of the Universe, several galaxies were their territories, powerful dragons could evolve to even be capable of leveling entire planets.
And then, the Demons. These bastards mostly lived in Hell, of course. But as the years went by, Lucifer grew more and more restless, pushing his Demons to conquer the Universe. The reason why Demon Towers popped up everywhere is because they\'re bridges to the Demon Realm, Hell.
Like this, the last war my previous life ever fought was that against the Demons trying to invade the world, after Asmodeus had personally dealt with the Vampire Families trying to suppress him and the territorial Dragons trying to eat him.
Naturally, he didn\'t simply killed, he also acquired many allies… or pets. Amongst the many pets he had, he once had a gigantic Red Dragon named Crimson. He was raised since he was an egg, and Asmodeus feed him his Vampiric Blood and made him evolve into a Vampire Dragon, ultimately becoming the strongest Dragon.
Perhaps Ruby reminds me of Crimson, especially when he was growing up and was still quite small and adorable. Although once he grew up more and more, he was so gigantic he could barely fit inside the largest room of Asmodeus\' spaceship.
Nonetheless, now that I was able to confirm that [Dragon Connection] worked properly, I quickly gathered a good pile of around a hundred red-colored dragon scales, which I grew out of my body. I noticed that their quality was the same even if they grew over my demonic arm, so that\'s good.
Also, I drained a few bottles with my blood, which now contained dragon power enough to also be considered dragon blood. I had originally planned this entire thing just so I could profit out of it, but yeah, the power ups are good as well.
"M-Master, just how many bottles are you going to make now? Won\'t you get sick? You\'re not as powerful as you used to be…" Hendrick began to grow worried. If he was getting worried, I guess I should stop.
"Yeah why don\'t you stop already? You\'re just overexerting yourself…" Eleanora said. "I know you didn\'t wanted to hurt Ruby but did you need this many materials?"
"Papa doesn\'t it hurt?" Saphira asked.
"It only hurts a bit, but it doesn\'t really matter, I am regenerating the wounds quite easily." I said. "Anyways, yeah, I guess this quantity is passable for now."
"Only passable?!" My three Vampire Spirits were flabbergasted by my response.
"Well yeah, they\'re not quite as high quality as the scale I gave to Ruby to become a dragon himself." I sighed. "I would say a hundred of them barely makes the amount of dragon power it held. The difference between my own dragon scales and those of a powerful monster in a B Rank Dungeon is truly frightening."
"That\'s certainly… correct." Hendrick, an experienced alchemist immediately could tell as he analyzed the scales I had just pilled up.
At the same time, I decided to rest over my bed by deactivating Dragon Connection. My entire body felt numb after having torn apart so many scales out of my body, even though they disappeared into nothing once the transformation stopped, those I extracted remained.
"However, they contain way more power than Wyvern Scales." Eleanora said. "I am guessing you\'re planning to use these to make armor and other things?"
"Correct. I will reinforce my armor first, then probably weapons, accessories… And all of that. Though, it would be better if I can make as much Dragon Elixir as I can, even if its of lower quality. Hendrick, you\'ll have to help me in this one." I ordered.
"Yes sir." Hendrick quickly summoned a cauldron and began to prepare things. "Been eons since we\'ve made Dragon Elixirs! Ahh, recalling the times when my lord used to hunt down those planet-eating dragons and we cooked up the most wonderful of potions and equipment pieces with their bodies! Although these materials do not compare to those dragons, it does hits home."
"Heh, maybe." I said. "Here, use the last wyvern scales I have as well. Wyvern blood, eyes, and more for surplus. Also add these Restorative Herbs and the Strengthening Roses I\'ve bought."
"Weren\'t you going to use these for your own potions sir? For the shop?" Sighed Hendrick.
"Nah, I\'ve got enough already. I am earning a nice sum every day selling things there, it was a nice idea to pay someone to attend the shop for me while I am busy." I sighed in relief, Hendrick was already beginning to make the potion.
I stretched a bit before standing back up and utilizing Dragon Connection to transform once more. If I imbue Dragon Power into the potion directly, the results are bound to be of higher quality.
