Make the dragon great again

Chapter 72 The Heart of the Dragon, and the Scourge of the Barbarians
There is one more thing to do before going out, which is to adjust the spatial structure of the [Hall of Domination].

With Adrian's current body shape, it is no longer possible for him to stretch his body here, and it looks very cramped.

Although Adrian can also shrink his size to fit in a narrow space through transfiguration, as Adrian's experience as a dragon grows, especially when he begins to advance to the legend, he becomes more concerned about his own body. The main body has more and more a desire to express, and began to have vague resistance to the use of transfiguration...

Like the other eight floors, [Hall of Dominion] can also adjust the spatial structure by consuming the energy stored in the energy core.

Although the [Hall of Dominion] is the core of the entire dungeon, the real energy core is hidden under the [Throne], and the rest of the space can be expanded and modified at will within a certain threshold.

Consuming part of the reserved energy, Adrian enlarged the rectangular, temple-shaped [Hall of Dominion] many times in proportion, and the space volume reached the current maximum threshold of this floor - 800 meters long, 300 meters wide, and the height of the dome More than 300 meters.

In the [Hall of Dominion] where the space suddenly became spacious, Adrian took a deep breath and slowly stretched out his curled up body.

At this time, Adrian has a maximum wingspan of 120 meters after spreading his wings, a height of nearly 60 meters when standing on four legs, and a maximum body length of about 110 meters.

In addition, in order to support the huge size, the fantasy creature like the giant dragon originally had three hearts, and at this time Adrian grew a new heart in his body, bringing the total number of hearts to four!
The existence of the dragon heart, in addition to providing the power of blood circulation for the huge body, is also related to its own various extraordinary abilities. It is a special organ with functions such as magic power storage and energy compression. Many powerful abilities of the dragon, When used, it needs the cooperation of various special organs in the body led by the heart.

Ancient dragons only had three hearts from birth to death, while ancient dragons would grow a fourth heart when they reached adulthood, which to a certain extent shows that ancient dragons are better than ancient giants. The reason for the dragon.

——Of course, in addition to this, there will be some special judgments involving mysterious fields such as the origin of the dragon clan and the personality of the world.

As for wyverns and wingless dragon beasts, they only have two or even one heart, while dragon descendants, like ordinary humans, only have one heart...

It can even be said that the growth of Adrian's body size is secondary to this advancement. The real key is actually the birth of the fourth heart, which marks that he has officially stepped into the domain of ancient dragons and has the ability to chase the ninth. Qualification for level [Havoc].

Feeling the powerful heartbeats of the four hearts in the body one after another, like a magic engine, Adrian slowly folded his wings and walked out of the [Hall of Dominion] after uttering a long dragon chant.

After a while, the bustling adventurers and merchants in the temple square on the surface suddenly found that the sky seemed to be a little darker, and there was a gust of wind for no reason. Many people looked up to the sky, but found nothing No, the same clear sky as before.

It’s just that for some reason, all the people who looked up trembled for no reason, as if they were looking directly at something terrible and their bodies naturally produced a physiological reaction, but such tremors disappeared quickly, and no matter what they stared at afterwards No matter how I looked around the sky, I couldn't find anything unusual.

"Is it an illusion?"

"How do I feel, there seems to be something in the sky just now..."

While everyone on the ground was talking about it, Adrian's wings stretched and flapped lightly above the sky, and a large amount of magic power gathered around with the movement of his flapping wings, supporting Adrian's huge body to float in the air.

The semi-pure-blooded inferior dragon Fay was still unable to mobilize the magic power around her to support her body. At this time, she was circling around Adrian's body.

"Well... [Biological Charm] After this ability has been further strengthened, I have now been able to remove my sense of existence from the cognition of lower creatures, making it impossible for them to recognize me when I am standing in front of them. My existence, this should be regarded as [psychological invisibility], right?"

Adrian briefly judged some of his abilities and their effects after reaching adulthood.

"Most of the adventurers below are between the first and second ranks, and there are not even a few of the third ranks. Now I should have fully reached the sixth rank. To test the limit of this [psychological invisibility], it seems We still need to find a subject with the lowest fourth level..."

With wings flapping, Adrian flew into the distance, bringing up a turbulent flow of magic power in the sky. Seeing this, Fay quickly flapped his wings to keep up, trying to keep the distance within the effective range of Adrian's [Psychological Invisibility] .

……

In the northwest of Behemoth Kingdom, in the inner sea bay.

Many adventurers accepted the entrustment of the northern duke of a certain kingdom, and came to the northwestern border of the kingdom to fight against the barbarians who came from the northern part of the continent.

Recently, a massive barbarian disaster seems to have erupted in the northern part of the mainland. The orcs and half-orcs who had been wandering in the northern ice sheets and frozen forests for a long time were either due to a shortage of food due to the large number of tribesmen, or simply because they wanted to vent their anger. Wild desires suddenly flocked to the south in large numbers a month ago, causing the current chaos in the northern part of the mainland. (Note)
Due to the harsh climate in the northern part of the Sirias continent, there are not many unified civilized countries, and most of the land is divided and occupied by tribes or city-states of various ethnic groups;
Therefore, after the barbarians started plundering, these tribal city-states also fought on their own, and did not stop the barbarians outside their territory at all. The major civilizations in the temperate regions.

Behemoth is the northernmost country in the eastern part of the continent, so it is also one of the victims of the aftermath of this barbarian disaster.

The southern border of the Kingdom is fully bordered by the Principality of Griffin, most of the western border is bordered by the Great Mullin Forest, and the entire east and most of the northern border is a whole long coastline. Central and northern borders of the continent.

(About the terrain of this section, you can find a map in the essence of the book review area. The starting point and the book review area of ​​​​qq reading are available.)
Therefore, if those barbarians who fled from the north wanted to enter the Kingdom of Behemoth, they could only enter from this only narrow border.

In the past, when barbarian disasters occurred, the northern nobles sent private soldiers to guard this border line, but now the kingdom is deeply involved in the war with the Principality of Griffin, and the private soldiers of the northern nobles are all under the control of a regent duchess. Under the covert alliance, they suppressed the territory of the nobles of the southern faction of the kingdom. In name, they were aiding, but in fact they forced the southern faction to continue to fight to the death with the Principality;

Therefore, when the barbarian disaster happened to break out in the northern part of the mainland, the northern nobles had no more troops to deploy. In the end, under the leadership of a certain northern duke, the nobles chose to hire a large number of adventurers to deal with the influx from the north. barbarian.

This has also resulted in the presence of a large number of adventurers on the northwest border today.

Hank, Ai Lu, and Yorkson, the "gold-level" trio, are also part of this batch of entrusted adventurers, and they are also one of the highest-level teams of adventurers on the surface.

Of course, they who have "voluntarily" sold themselves to a refined and easy-going dungeon master are no longer gold-ranked.

However, at this time, the three of them had just left the big forest and hadn't had time to show their current strength, but rumors about their "water injection" had spread among adventurers for some reason...

……

To be continued.

Note: [Barbarians and Orcs, Half-Orcs]

"Barbarian" is a fighting profession, "Orc" is a race, which is what you call green skins, and half-orcs are mixed green skins.

As for cat girls, dog girls, and rabbit girls, they are collectively referred to as sub-humans. If there is a chance to appear later, they will be called "X-humans", such as the previous lizard-humans.
