Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

That dense network of orange-red mycelium is just like the blood vessels of the earth.

Several dark red fungus-men, resembling lumps of iron, quietly grew on the original fungal carpet, absorbing the nutrients and energy transmitted back by the mycelium while using it as an extension of their senses to monitor all activity within this area.

Thor's eyes are on everything that creatures do, and those that behave too abnormally are put under close surveillance and nipped in the bud.

…………

Another half month passed before the aftermath of the arena's closure finally subsided. Many creatures either returned to their homelands or ventured into the wilderness in search of new opportunities, while only a few chose to stay.

Feeling that the time was ripe, one late night, Thor, dragging his increasingly bloated body, once again plunged into the depths of the boiling lava.

As he descended, the originally orange-red magma became increasingly hot, its brightness gradually increasing until it turned into a dazzling white. A void suspended in the rolling heat also appeared in Thor's perception.

He plunged headlong into the barrier made of magic, and what came into view was a circular space with a diameter of about 100 meters. Large amounts of dragon crystals and radiant dragon stones were piled up like small mountains, and various precious minerals were scattered all around.

Thor crawled over with heavy steps, his fat jiggling with each movement, his bulging neck and tail looking like a loaf of bread.

He glanced at the essence balance displayed in his mind. Apart from the 10 points he used to extract the Ancient Dragon Monster template, there was still a small surplus. He immediately used his consciousness to tap, and a basketball-sized ether crystal fell into his claws, which he swallowed in one gulp.

He then circled around, encircling the priceless treasure in the center, and folded his exceptionally large wings to cover his entire body.

Each time a true dragon slumbers across different age groups, it is of utmost importance, especially since Thor is about to extract the first Elder Dragon template in the dragon's life.

This made his heart race and his emotions stirred with a long-lost excitement. He silently prayed to that old woman Tiamat, hoping she would bring him good luck.

Then, with a desperate, all-or-nothing attitude, he slammed his finger down on the sixth level of the giant roulette wheel in his mind. The 100,000 points of essence instantly vanished, transforming into a dazzling galaxy that plunged straight into it.

A deafening roar seemed to echo in his mind, while the flashing lights firmly attracted Thor's gaze.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, but in reality it was only a moment. On the small square that was covered, a magnificent beast was depicted in red and silver.

Chapter 214 The Third Sleep

Congratulations on obtaining the [Sky Comet Monster Template]! Do you wish to withdraw your winnings immediately? Yes/No.

If we're talking about which Elder Dragon is the strongest in the Monster Hunter series, the answers will definitely vary; but if we're asking about the coolest and fastest Elder Dragon, then the Silverwing Demon Star—the Sky Comet—is undoubtedly the one.

It has the classic four-legged, two-winged ancient dragon structure, is about 25 meters long, has a beautiful streamlined body, and is covered with tough silver-gray scales. Even if it crashes into the ground head-on at several Mach, it can remain unharmed.

Its head is also covered by a silver-gray mask, with a beak-like mouth and a pair of bright blue eyes with excellent vision, making it look as majestic and extraordinary as an eagle.

Five sharp dragon horns curved backward from its face, and a blade-like carapace stood upright on its back. Its limbs were long and thick, and its tail had forked thorns at the end.

What's most peculiar is its wings, which lack wing membranes and feathers, and are entirely composed of extremely powerful muscles, ligaments, and thick wing bones resembling nozzles. This makes the wings incredibly flexible, allowing them to not only rotate freely in 360 degrees, but also to fold or stretch into peculiar shapes resembling spears or heavy hammers.

Within the chest of the Sky Comet lies a special organ that replaces the lungs, called the Dragon Breath Engine. It can draw in large quantities of outside air through valves in its chest and its mouth and nose, converting it into a high-temperature dragon-attribute energy called Dragon Breath.

When this dragon energy is transported through the pipes inside the body to the hollow wing bones, it will be ejected like the engine of a supersonic fighter jet, providing it with powerful flight propulsion.

Who wouldn't like a creature that combines biology and technology, and possesses both good looks and strength?

The moment he saw the results, Thor felt his heart tremble with excitement. Although he knew this day would come sooner or later as he continued to draw, he hadn't expected it to arrive so quickly.

Could praying to that old woman Tiamat really work? If so, Thor wouldn't mind offering her a little more of his insignificant loyalty.

…………

After taking a few deep breaths, Thor finally calmed down.

Instead of immediately selecting the Sky Comet monster template, he brought up the Lockblade Dragon monster template he had previously obtained.

Although he had already decided to integrate the two, he would then use the time-lapse process across age groups to build a deeper foundation for himself.

However, to prevent accidents and conflicts, he decided to load them separately, allowing only the body modification process to proceed simultaneously.

Moreover, the boost from the Elder Dragon is obviously stronger than that from the Chainblade Dragon, which is a high-level monster. In order to avoid losing consciousness immediately after loading, I can only try it gradually from small to large.

Once he made up his mind, Thor immediately clicked the withdrawal button without hesitation. A pale purple spirit emerged from mid-air, within which a silver behemoth wielded four long chain blades and roared as it charged toward his body.

A familiar warmth surged through my body, and pale blue subtitles began to flash across the screen like a screen being flooded with messages.

The fusion with the Lockblade Dragon monster template was successful. However, abilities such as [Tough Scales], [Sharp Claws], and [Wing Gliding] were outdated compared to the main body and have been converted into pure life force.

The telescopic lock blade has been retained.

[Energy Absorption] has been retained.

[Energy Conversion] has been retained.

Thor's body structure is now quite perfect, so apart from the core abilities of the Blademaster, most of the others have not been retained.

When they were transformed into pure life force, nourishing the red dragon bloodline within Thor, which had reached its critical point, a certain ancient power was suddenly awakened, surging forth like an erupting volcano.

At this moment, the blood flowing through his body was hotter than the scorching white magma outside, and under the stimulation of the terrifying energy, his limbs and bones began to undergo instinctive transformation.

A wave of intense drowsiness washed over him, making Thor feel as heavy as a mountain on his eyelids, and his consciousness was rapidly fading. He quickly seized the last vestiges of clarity and clicked "withdraw" on the monster template of the Sky Comet.

In the hazy distance, a dazzling meteor descended from the sky, and even more energy surged from within. Before the previous burst had subsided, the next one followed immediately.

The subtitles, which had just stopped, started flashing again.

Congratulations on successfully fusing the Sky Comet monster template! The abilities such as [Powerful Beak], [High Temperature Tolerance], and [Tail Spikes] are outdated compared to the main body and have been converted into pure life force.

The Dragon Engine has been retained.

The [Dragon Breath Vent] has been retained.

The variable-length flexible biplane feature has been retained.

[Strong muscles and ligaments] have been retained.

The [composite tough scale armor] has been retained.

…………

The previously loaded Blade Dragon monster template has now begun to take effect, burning the fat in Thor's body and changing the shape of his flesh.

On the outer sides of Thor's limbs, from the clusters of thorns that twisted and rose like flames, tough, crimson tendons extended out, followed by strong muscle fibers that spread across them, and were firmly wrapped by scales that shimmered with a metallic luster.

The rudiments of four lockblades then extended from his claws and wrists, waving unconsciously in mid-air.

As these flexible energy traps grow, a unique energy conversion core within Thor's body also grows in sync.

Just as he had anticipated, his unique physique, which had been enhanced by consuming aether crystals, now exhibited an unknown synergy with the energy absorption capabilities of the Chainblade Dragon.

The basal blood vessels between his heart and lungs were gradually expanding, and the ether crystal he had just swallowed was forcibly drawn in through the connection between his upper and lower stomachs by a tremendous force.

Even the special power that the Chain Blade Dragon uses to convert various elemental energies is gradually seeping into this crystal, which is larger than a basketball, causing the original energy of the Ether Crystal to be squeezed and begin to dissipate outwards.

A layer of seven-colored rainbow light silently merged into Thor's magic, flowing through his blood and spreading to every corner of his body.

The hazy halo on his originally dark red scales became more and more obvious, causing the energy crystals encircled by his body to lose energy rapidly, as if ice and snow were melting in high temperatures.

The changes from the Sky Comet monster template began to take effect, causing Thor's already enormous wings to writhe violently.

The wing bones interspersed in the wing membrane expanded rapidly like air being blown in, the wing root became thicker, and the capillaries in the wing membrane spread wildly, with tiny pores appearing beneath each scale.

The primal power that created the dragon's aura wandered throughout Thor's body, searching for a place to take root.

Whether it's the Red Dragon's Lava Heart, Blazing Lungs, or its Stomach, which is like an Elemental Furnace, they are all extremely suitable choices.

But it also set its sights on that unique basal vessel, and even though another force had already taken it first, it still recklessly crashed into it.

Chapter 215 Bloodline Enhancement

The energy absorption and conversion ability of the Chainblade Dragon carries extremely strong corrosive and assimilative characteristics, while the dragon aura of the Sky Comet Dragon displays an unparalleled domineering presence.

When the two meet, it should ignite a fierce collision and battle. However, the power of the world's origin contained in the crystal becomes the perfect lubricant, allowing them to coexist harmoniously.

The dazzling crystal contained within Thor's blood vessels was constantly absorbing and releasing massive amounts of energy from his body. Its color would sometimes change to the blue-purple of the Lockblade Dragon, sometimes to the crimson of the Sky Comet Dragon, and sometimes to a burning lava fireball.

During this process, the size of the crystal continues to be refined and shrunk, and the various colors of light permeate and intertwine with each other, making the entire base vessel filled with a chaotic rainbow light.

As the monster template loaded from the outside began to modify Thor's body, the red dragon bloodline within him also began its path of sublimation.

When the bloodline inherited from the gods crosses a new boundary, the fire and earth elements between heaven and earth immediately follow the ancient rules and flock in from all directions.

Even through a barrier constructed of magic, the scorching white magma outside still boiled, and surging heat flowed out like a fountain, frantically pouring into the small space where Thor resided.

The endless heatwaves turned this once-dormant land, which was no more than 100 meters in diameter, into a terrifying high-temperature furnace.

The energy crystals and minerals that Thor had trapped in the center of his body were quickly melted away, turning into a pool of rippling liquid, which he instinctively swallowed while he was asleep.

However, after a short while, the space supported by magic could no longer maintain its stability and burst open like a popped soap bubble.

The terrifyingly hot lava flow crashed down like a tidal wave, but the moment it touched Thor's body, it transformed into a gentle caress.

Like loyal hunting dogs, they surrounded their master, barking joyfully as they escorted him deeper into the underground.

…………

Boom! ...

A tremendous roar, like thunder, erupted from the volcano, disturbing the dreams of countless creatures.

It was still late at night, but the lava erupting from the crater had dyed half the sky crimson, and thick smoke rose like pillars, piercing the heavens.

The intense friction of the volcanic ash attracted dense lightning elements from high above, causing a crimson lightning dragon to rush down the plume of smoke and plunge into the still-erupting magma.

The terrifying commotion, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting apart, caused the creatures living nearby to hurriedly scramble out of their nests. They stared in horror at the rain of golden fire falling from above, grabbed whatever they could find to hold their heads up, and began to flee for their lives.

As the core territory of the Red Dragon, volcanic eruptions occur almost every so often.

Therefore, most of the creatures that live here are already used to it, and although they are panicked when they flee, they are not too chaotic.

It's simply a matter of hiding for a while, waiting for the earth's wrath to subside before returning.

However, this volcanic eruption was exceptionally violent, with the continuous flow of lava seemingly endless, showing no signs of stopping.

The orange-red, hot liquid, like syrup, flowed down the steep mountainside in layers, spreading across the wide obsidian plaza at the foot of the mountain and submerging the crisscrossing mountain valleys, showing no sign of stopping.

…………

A 25-meter-long, agile golden dragon coiled in the air, its golden pupils gazing at the ground beneath its feet, its eyes filled with solemnity.

As a golden dragon, Ailan, with his keen senses, noticed the unusual movement of the earth almost immediately.

The terrifying high-energy reaction was like a small sun appearing deep underground, with the surrounding fire and earth elements cheering excitedly, eager to pay homage to their sovereign.

The lightning elements high above echoed loudly, as if there was something they desired deep underground.

Even elements like wind, water, and ice, which seem completely unrelated, are like displaced people being forcibly swept up, blindly swarming underground.

There is no other possibility that could have caused all of this except for that monstrous red dragon.

What on earth is that guy doing? Why is it that, instead of weakening, this explosive momentum is actually increasing as time goes on?

Too many doubts filled Alan's mind. Although he had a vague idea of ​​the answer, he instinctively refused to believe it.

Just then, more dragon shadows rushed in from all directions, scattered in various places in the sky, all staring at the erupting volcano below.

…………

The blazing firelight gilded Leilia's azure scales with a golden glow, and her slightly slender, pterosaur-like wings, riding the continuous updrafts, soared gracefully around the thick column of smoke.

What a spectacular scene! A volcanic eruption, lightning striking – it was the most vivid depiction of destruction.

The red dragon had become even stronger, far exceeding her expectations. Just thinking about its majestic figure made her feel somewhat unable to control herself.

Such a concentrated bloodline, just once! Just once will allow her strength to increase dramatically, paving the way to legend.

…………

"Wuhu—! Burn! Burn! Burn everything to ashes!"

"Too powerful! Absolutely too powerful! My beloved brother, you are the legendary Crimson Tyrant, the Lord of Destruction!"

And I! Your dear sister, as your blood relative, born of the same mother, the great Sistana will therefore be crowned the Crimson Flame Queen!

"And me, the great Karp, I will become the Lord of Flamescale!"

"Wow—ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

The arrogant and unrestrained laughter attracted the attention of the dragons in the sky. Two crimson dragon shadows were seen laughing wildly as they rolled and frolicked in the scalding lava.

Those were Sistana and Kalp. If the other true dragons were only amazed and in awe of what they saw, then they, as red dragons and with a direct bloodline connection to Thor, undoubtedly felt much more.
