Ember Dragon

Chapter 271 Breath of Chaos
"Bloodscale Berserker."

“That feels pretty good.”

Cassius gasped heavily and couldn't help licking his lips. His bloodshot eyes were filled with excitement and violence.

However, the system refresh continues.

[Your progress in absorbing [Heart of Karix]: 0.83%]
[Since you have absorbed some of the energy, your [Blood Scale Berserker] class will be upgraded to level 3]
[Gain additional expertise: [Power Attack] [Shock Wave] [Wing Storm]]
[Gain additional abilities: [Terrible Aura] [Dragon's Fury] [Blood Scales]]
Fearsome Presence
The sight of a Bloodscale going berserk inspires terror, a boiling rage churning within it, inspiring terror in all who see it.

Draconic Fury
The Blood Scale Berserker's rage becomes more terrible. When raging, its strength and constitution increase by an additional 2 points, and its will becomes more tenacious, making it difficult for any control spells to take effect on it.

Scales of Blood
Bloodscale Frenzy lives up to its name. While in a rage, a small amount of blood seeps out from around the dragon's scales, outlining them and enhancing the dragon's terrifying presence. More importantly, the blood supernaturally protects the dragon from spells and weapon damage.

"This power."

Cassius raised his claws, observed the bloodstains outside the scales, and couldn't help but let out a ferocious roar.

Not only were the muscles bulging like iron balls, but even the blood vessels in the neck were bulging like an angry beast.

After this painful transformation, Cassius' body has grown several times larger. Not only is his body length over 30 meters, but his limbs and torso have also become more sturdy and powerful.

Cassius raised his head and let out a long howl in excitement.

The sound contained boiling rage, arousing the most primitive fear in all living things. Flocks of birds flew up from the mountains in panic, and then stiffened in instinctive fear, falling one after another, and fell straight to the ground.

Even some of the seasoned Tiefling guards could not withstand such pressure and fainted - this was the power of the Blood Scale Berserker.

If the current him were to engage in close combat with his former self, the Blood Scale Berserker's powerful close combat ability would definitely leave his former self covered in wounds, or even torn into pieces alive. This is the terrifying power of the ancestral red dragon under the blessing of the Blood Scale Berserker.

However, this transformation is still continuing and has not stopped.

"Ow—"

The violent red dragon roared again.

The cracks all over his body grew larger, revealing flickering flames.

As his heart beat violently, the "Heart of Karix" in his heart suddenly released terrible energy. Cracks even appeared on the crystal on his chest, and countless dark red lights shone through those cracks.

This light seemed to distort the rules of the world, creating irregular tracks in the air and strange rotating patterns in his dragon crystal.

Finally, Cassius opened his bloody mouth uncontrollably and spewed out dark red flames.

"boom--"

The moment those flames touched the surrounding objects, those objects suddenly collapsed and decomposed into the smallest dust, becoming a chaotic mist that filled the air - this flame was actually the "fire of purification" that Cassius had seen in the illusion before.

In the outside world, as a terrible wave of chaos spread, all spellcasters in the North and even the entire Anzeta could feel this distorted and violent influence and were shocked by it, causing a huge wave.

[Your absorption progress of [Heart of Karix]: 1.02%]
[You have absorbed some of the chaos and destructive power in the [Heart of Karix], and gained the special ability [Breath of Chaos]]
[Breath of Chaos]

Calix periodically comes to the main material world, venting the unclean fire of destruction to the world. He is the Nothingness, and also the Purifier of the world. Natural processes and the evolution of the universe usually lead to more disorder and chaos, and your breath will intensify this process, bringing the most thorough chaos to all things.

By the time Cassius came to his senses and slowly closed his mouth, the magnificent main hall was almost reduced to white ground, and huge deep pits appeared around it.

Only the most basic material particles and the still burning, chaotic sea of ​​fire remained.

Surrounded by flames, Cassius showed an intoxicated smile, and after a long time he waved his claws reluctantly to extinguish them.

"Breath of Chaos."

"It's simply a god-like power." In the Red Dragon's perception, in front of this chaotic fire of purification, it seems that no existence can stop it and can only face the most thorough annihilation.

"Owner--"

Cassius turned his head and saw that it was the ogre magician flying towards him in panic from a distance.

Trump landed on the ground with a bang, panting and saying, "Did you feel the magic net?"

The ogre hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly felt an instinctive fear. He broke out in a cold sweat and even covered his mouth subconsciously.

"Didn't I say—"

"No one is allowed near here?"

There was an extremely dangerous look flashing in the red dragon's bloodshot eyes.

The powerful bloody aura spread, making the ogre almost unable to breathe.

It was the first time that Trump felt so close to death, and the first time he saw such a terrible master who suffocated him.

He immediately knelt on the ground. Even when kneeling on the ground, his huge body that was more than three meters tall could not stop shaking. His ugly face was full of fear, and he only managed to maintain his sanity with his strong willpower.

He said tremblingly:

"Master, yes, I'm sorry."

"I was rude and forgot your request."

Trump held his breath until the powerful pressure suddenly eased, and his heart finally settled down a little, but he still didn't dare to relax at all.

"It won't happen again."

Cassius said coldly.

He did not allow anyone to covet his power, not even his most trusted relatives and subordinates.

"So. What do you want to say?"

Hearing this question, beads of sweat broke out on Trump's forehead again, and his heart began to beat again.

He originally wanted to report the unusual movements in the magic network, but now it seems that this unusual movement was caused by his master, and the specific reason has even become a taboo for Cassius.

He obviously couldn't delve into this issue any further, otherwise it might arouse suspicion.

The ogre mage has been in a high position for many years, and he hasn't felt this nervous for a long time.

Only then did he fully realize that his master was a pure-blooded red dragon. Even though strange changes might have occurred in the red dragon's body, this was definitely not something he was qualified to interfere with.

His brain was working rapidly, and he had almost completely searched for the most recent important intelligence. Then Trump answered cautiously:

"It seems that the restrictions at the Rackman Castle have loosened a bit."

"Motifer?"

"It just so happens that I want to find an opportunity to test this power."

Cassius's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and he even licked his lips in excitement. But he did not notice that a trace of pure desire for destruction appeared deep in his pupils.
