Chapter 582 A Lurking Evil
-----
Once I was finished, I took a peek at the large group of Dragon Blood Elixirs that Hendrick had created. I couldn\'t help but feel rather tempted to drink them all right now.
"Master they\'re all done, but remember to drink them one by one carefully! If you drink them all, you\'re bound to get extreme stomachache and then indigestion!"
"I understand." I nodded. "Using my Physique, I can easily negate most negative effects anyways, and with the Heavy Drinker Skill, potion effects are enhanced even further…"
I was about to boost my stats as much as I could using these potions, and they were over twenty of them. I wanted to get as much power as I could before I were to be allowed to challenge another D Ranked Dungeon, or even explore the Wild Lands outside, filled with high ranked monsters and demons.
Slowly, through the whole night, I meditated, making the energies around m body flow around slowly and peacefully, while drinking each Elixir. They were made with all of my share of the spirit orbs we got from the D Ranked Dungeon, so drinking them also restored my Mana and Spirit energy constantly.
Once I restore so much, I get slightly sick, but as I bear with this sensation, the Mana and Spirit energy begin to swell and slowly increase permanently, this is a "cheat" way to slowly become stronger and increase my max stats.
Of course, it only works the best with me because I\'ve made a contract with a dragon, which grants me enough Dragon Power to resist this enormous quantity of energy I am swallowing with each bottle…
Bottle after bottle, I could feel my power slowly rising…
…
…
…
When I opened my eyes, the sun was already rising from the horizon. I ended spending the entire night mediating and cultivating my energies while drinking the elixirs, and finally, the results were being clearly shown.
I grew scales over my body and they looked way stronger than before, more solid and even having a metallic luster to them. My eyes were slowly mutating and becoming dragon eyes whenever I used the dragon connection skill, my claws have also become stronger and more ferocious-looking, and wings were slowly beginning to grow more, alongside a tail with a pointy end.
However, above all, there was a brand new ability related with dragons, which not even Ruby has yet developed, but that I was able to develop through this insane method of killing myself drinking dragon blood elixirs…
"[Gather], [Shape], [Form]."
I said a few words, as my words emerged as golden runes out of my mouth, in mere seconds, the twenty empty bottles where the elixirs were contained began to float in midair and meld together with one another, shaping and forming themselves into a gigantic glass bottle.
"Excellent, it is working as intended, though at this level, it can\'t really do much…"
Indeed, this power was…
Ding!
[You\'ve absorbed an incredible quantity of Dragon Power, Spirit Energy, and Mana!]
[All your stats have increased by +100!]
[You\'ve reached the Bonus Stat cap of the [Dragon Blood Elixir]!]
[All Dragon-related Skills have leveled up!]
[Due to your connection with your dragon, [Ruby] has also grown stronger!]
[The excess Dragon Power is slowly merging together, a new Skill is being born!]
[You learned the [Dragon Tongue: Lv1] Magic Skill!]
-----
[Dragon Tongue: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 42/10000
A Special and powerful Skill that only the most Ancient of Dragons can learn and develop. Since Ancient Times that Dragons have not only held incredibly physical might, but an understanding and power over magic like no others within the Realm of Mortals.
Merely by saying words, magic will simply materialize, completely leaving obsolete the necessity of utilizing Magic Circles. Simply say a word and its meaning will materialize. The more complicated the meanings, the more Mana will be required. The higher the skill level, the faster the conjuration time becomes and the more complicated the runes can become.

Indeed, this power was Dragon Tongue!
"Incredible! Master has attained Dragon Tongue so early!" Hendrick was left speechless.
"How come you learned it when Ruby hasn\'t yet?!" Eleanora was speechless as well.
"It was hard but I managed to. My plan was to absorb so much Dragon Power that the excess power will be capable of materializing into a Skill of my choice, the options were many, but I choose this one for obvious reasons." I said. "It worked, although I am extremely tired now…"
I fell over the bed, too tired to even talk anymore, and immediately fell asleep right after that…

Surrounding a large red crystal, several people covered on black and red cloaks from head to toe sat down around a table. The red crystal shone brightly, floating above the table. Within its interior, something strange and aberrant could be seen slowly forming… and slowly being brought to life by ancient demonic arts.
"It seems our attempt at silencing them has gone terribly wrong."
"Indeed, the first team was caught, and the attempted demon gate break was also suppressed somehow…"
"How come those children are so powerful? This is simply impossible!"
"You\'ve already seen their power before, these children… well, no longer children, are probably divine protected by the damned holy spirits."
"We cannot allow them to live anymore. Even less that damned Blake, the one that constantly interrupts our plans!"
"To think that an ancient rival of our master has been reincarnated into a human… The reason why he is such a vicious monster might be his ancient soul that once sealed our almighty lord."
"Certainly, he might had been a powerful being in another time, but now, he\'s only as strong as a Rank 3 Spirit Master at best… Even if he can summon his former allies as spirits, they are also weakened."
"Our strongest informant says he is growing stronger with each passing day, we cannot let this continue…"
"Lord Beelzebub calls for his head, bring it to him!"
"Very well then… Let us orchestrate another show, shall we? This time, we\'ll make sure to take down that doll girl while we are at it. And get that half-demon."
