Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Chapter 224 Extraordinary Abilities

Inside the palace atop the nine towers.

This palace was originally a gift from the governors of Pentos to Khal Drogo, but now it belongs to Viserys.

The assassination of the young king plunged the entire palace into turmoil.

"Release the ragged prince."

"The assassin was merely impersonating him."

Viserys, lying in his sickbed, gave the order to release the ragged prince who had just been captured.

The ragged prince, trembling with fear, wanted to see Viserys to explain further, but was refused.

Viserys knew that the Prince in Ragged Clothes wasn't trying to explain anything; he wanted to see his true condition and whether his life was in danger.

If Viserys falls, the Prince of Raggedy's good days will be over.

If he were wise enough, he might abandon the city and flee, taking his Windwalker band and some of the looted wealth to continue as a mercenary in the contested lands.

Viserys, lying in his sickbed, then dismissed all the doctors, along with Illyrio and Jon Clinton, leaving only two guards outside the door.

chap——

Viserys then ripped off the bandage he had just applied and threw it on the ground.

At this moment, the silver-haired boy was shirtless, his well-defined abdominal muscles were clearly visible, and the spot where he had been stabbed by the short knife was now just a faint scar.

His long, fluffy hair hung freely down his back without being tied up. Then Viserys sat up in bed, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.

"Whoo~"

Because of his status, Viserys actually received a lot of 'special treatment'.

Since escaping King's Landing, assassinations and poisonings have become commonplace; he has lost count of how many times he has been targeted.

Even when he had just entered Pentos not long ago, a man disguised as a wine merchant tried to poison him.

However, this also indirectly shows that his enemies are now powerless to stop the Targaryen's momentum and can only try to eliminate him through despicable means such as poisoning and assassination.

This was the most dangerous assassination attempt Viserys had ever faced.

Neither he nor Illyrio recognized that the ragged prince in front of them was actually in disguise, and the other party approached them so suddenly that he was caught off guard.

Viserys then sat on the edge of the bed and groped around for a moment before finding the dagger that had pierced his abdomen under the pillow.

The texture of this short knife is very clear; the black hilt feels like obsidian, yet it's slightly different.

The blade was as smooth as water. Viserys held it in his hand and played with it for a moment. It gently reflected the light, casting his image in the reflection.

His long, silver-gold hair was disheveled, partially obscuring his forehead, and his handsome features reflected a unique brilliance as the blade swayed gently.

Then the black fog gradually spread.

Viserys was observing his current condition through his dagger.

Viserys Targaryen

Strength (Sun): 18

Body type (Earth element): 20

Agility (Water-based): 20

Spirit (Lunar): 26

Over a long period of time, Viserys had actually accumulated a large amount of black mist, but out of caution, he always kept a portion of it and did not actively absorb it into his body.

However, this time he was suddenly attacked and his wounds became infected with a deadly poison. Viserys was forced to draw all the black mist he had accumulated into his body in one go.

Furthermore, all of these points were added to Constitution and Agility, and both attributes broke through to twenty, undergoing a qualitative change and evolving from mortal beings into extraordinary abilities.

Although the upgrade from nineteen to twenty may seem like just a single level, it brings about a dramatic change.

For example, the pain during the breakthrough was like being shattered to pieces, as if some mysterious force was slowly crushing all his bones and flesh, and he lost all sensation in his entire body.

Then life returned from the shattered body, and little by little he regained his senses. The toxins and wounds on his body were also wiped away, as if he had been reborn.

Viserys fainted at that moment, and chaos erupted in the bedroom.

His wound had already been bandaged, so neither the doctors nor anyone else witnessed the miraculous healing of Viserys's abdominal wound.

They all thought the young king had fainted due to poisoning, so they wanted to use bloodletting therapy.

Given the medical technology of this world, there is no better way to treat poisoning.

If the cause of the poisoning is known, it's fine to find herbs that can neutralize it. But if the cause of the poisoning is unknown, then bloodletting is the only treatment option.

Doctors believed that the toxins were in the blood and that releasing the toxic blood could save lives.

Fortunately, Viserys's unconsciousness was not very long, and he woke up just as the gray-haired physician was raising his scalpel to kill him.

"stop!"

"Stop, stop..."

Viserys felt a headache coming on and quickly stopped him, telling him that he was fine.

He then ordered the release of the innocent Prince in tattered clothes who had been imprisoned, and then expelled all of them.

When his physique broke through to the extraordinary level, Viserys felt as if his entire body had been shattered to pieces.

After calming down, Viserys raised his Agility to twenty in one go.

No matter how strictly you guard against assassins, there will always be loopholes. Improving your own strength is the best guarantee to deal with such situations in the future.

So Viserys stopped being cautious and retained some of the black mist, absorbing it all in one go.

This time, the breakthrough from Agility to Transcendent was painless; it felt cool and refreshing, like being in a boundless ocean.

His body became completely integrated with the sea, becoming a single drop of water. After several twists and turns, Viserys finally regained control of his body.

Just like his previous breakthrough to the transcendent realm, Viserys' physique and agility both broke through to the transcendent level, and he also gained two special transcendent abilities.

His extraordinary physical abilities include a harder body, making it more difficult for ordinary swords to pierce his body, and immunity to all poisons. It also seems that his bloodline abilities have been amplified dramatically by some special entity.

Viserys didn't know if his current physical breakthrough to the extraordinary level meant he could truly be considered a true dragon...

Or rather, Valyrian nobles of extremely pure blood.

He sat on the hospital bed with his upper body bare, his long silver-gold hair becoming even purer, even shimmering with light.

His facial features became more handsome, his pale purple eyes became clearer and brighter, his skin became tough and smooth, and the blood vessels beneath were full of power.

Viserys then lit a candle.

At that moment, his fingers were placed on the burning candle flame.

The flickering flames gently enveloped his fingers, reflected in the boy's pale purple eyes.

However, he felt no burning pain; the flames felt like a warm embrace, enveloping him.

This is a special ability that allows one to break through physical limitations and achieve extraordinary physical abilities.

As for the other agile superpower, it was even more special; Viserys even felt that the other party was like magic.

Chapter 225 Black Mist Transformation

The candlelight flickered gently.

Call ~

Viserys's figure gradually dissipated, like sand blown away by the wind, slowly turning into a flowing black mist under the candlelight.

It then coalesced again not far from the bedside.

Viserys opened his eyes and stared into thought at the spot where he had just been sitting by the window.

"so amazing."

Viserys felt his entire body merge into the air as he turned into a cloud of black mist, but he could still sense his own existence, only his mass became imperceptible, probably only... fifty grams.

This amazing ability piqued Viserys's interest, and he experimented with it tirelessly. Unfortunately, like the Eye of the Moment, this ability would become ineffective after being used a few times in a short period of time, probably because it was entering a cooldown period.

This ability to transform into black mist allows Viserys to avoid all damage for a certain period of time and escape unscathed.

Conversely, he could also transform Viserys into the most terrifying assassin of the night, silently penetrating the strongest castles, then taking the enemy's head and disappearing without a trace.

Unfortunately, perhaps because Viserys's attributes are not high at present, having only just broken through to the transcendent realm, he can not use this black mist transformation ability very often, and the distance he can travel is not very far.

Even so, this is still a very terrifying magical ability.

It is in no way inferior to the 'Eye of Moment' which breaks through from lunar nature to extraordinary awakening, or the 'True Dragon Bloodline' which breaks through from physical constitution to extraordinary awakening.

While the previous two abilities were practical, they seemed to remain at the level of mortals. However, the ability to transform into black mist, gained from breaking through to the extraordinary level in water-based abilities, was almost like magic or demonic power.

If I reveal myself, others might think I'm a devil.

"I wonder what the ultimate state of this evolutionary path will be."

Viserys thought to himself, "I have only broken through the level 20 in attributes and I have already evolved extraordinary abilities."

What would happen if you killed more people and absorbed more sentient souls, and one of your attributes exceeded thirty, forty, or even higher?

Will he become a god?

Viserys shook his head as he thought of this.

Whether God exists in this world, and who God is, are questions that many people will answer differently.

Compared to getting caught up in these unseen and intangible things, for a mortal like Viserys, the most basic problems at hand are more important.

For example, who is the person who wants to kill him?

The opponent's skills were astonishing; he leaped from a tower tens of meters high, something Viserys thought he couldn't possibly do.

Such an assassin would not be an ordinary person either.

This is why he didn't believe the man was the ragged prince, but rather that someone was impersonating him; a man in his fifties or sixties couldn't possibly still have such abilities.

However, there is a top-tier assassin organization on the continent of Essos that possesses such a perfect disguise ability: the infamous Faceless Ones of Braavos.

They can peel off a person's face with almost artistic skill and then perfectly disguise themselves as that person.
