Additionally, the "Giant Dragon Bloodline" also brought him "Dragon’s Might," an aura stemming from the very essence of his life form.
He discovered that the more his form resembled a giant dragon—possessing its scales, claws, wings, and skeletal structure—the more he could draw out the power of the "Giant Dragon Bloodline."
A Slime’s body wasn’t a great match for the Giant Dragon Bloodline, making it unable to fully unleash a dragon’s power.
But the magic of Slimes was their sheer variety. There was, in fact, a type of Slime that was a natural fit for the Giant Dragon Bloodline: the Mimic Slime.
And Chen Yu happened to possess Gel Mimicry.
If he were to completely mimic the form of a giant dragon, he could fully unleash the power of the Giant Dragon Bloodline, becoming no different than a true young Black Dragon.
’Maybe a Slime like that could be called a [Giant Dragon Slime]?’
However, Chen Yu didn’t much care for the title. He was confident that his "Demon King" bloodline was in no way inferior to any Giant Dragon Bloodline.
For him, the power boost from the Giant Dragon Bloodline wasn’t actually that significant. It was more that it might have miraculous effects in specific situations.
But what if Xiaoka possessed the "Giant Dragon Bloodline"?
Chen Yu’s gaze fell upon Xiaoka, who was nearby on the grass, having the time of its life chasing a large, colorful butterfly.
Right now, although Xiaoka looked like a Sub-Dragon, it didn’t have a single drop of true giant dragon blood in its body. It couldn’t even be called a Dragon Beast; it was merely a dragon-like monster.
Somehow, Xiaoka seemed like a surprisingly good fit for the "Giant Dragon Bloodline" talent.
Chen Yu bounced once. His Gel body squirmed slightly, and from within, he separated out a Lv. 3 "Giant Dragon Bloodline" Talent Ball. He then called back the gleefully playing Xiaoka.
"King?"
Xiaoka obediently ran back, tilting its head, its amber eyes looking at Chen Yu with curiosity.
"Xiaoka, do you want to become a real giant dragon?" Chen Yu asked.
"A real giant dragon?"
Xiaoka looked down at its own claws in a daze, then twisted its head to look at the beating wings on its back, its eyes filled with confusion.
"Xiaoka can fly. Is a dragon."
Chen Yu gently patted its head with a small Gel hand. "Just because you can fly doesn’t make you a giant dragon. Count Brand can fly too, and he’s a crow. A real giant dragon is like me."
As his voice fell, a pure Dragon’s Might erupted from his body, like a tangible storm that flattened the surrounding grass.
As Xiaoka stared with its wide, round eyes, Chen Yu’s Gel absorbed the surrounding Magic Power and began to expand violently. His body’s silhouette twisted and stretched, becoming elongated and filled with a powerful grace.
Hard scales like polished Obsidian emerged from beneath the Gel, covering his entire body and reflecting a cold, metallic glint in the sunlight. His limbs grew stout, their ends extending into pitch-black claws as sharp as scimitars that dug deep into the ground.
On his back, two draconic wings composed of bone and tough membrane unfolded with a SWOOSH. With a wingspan of nearly ten meters, they cast a vast shadow. A single gentle flap stirred up a howling gale.
Finally, the head.
The Gel rapidly elongated and contorted, restructuring itself to form a majestic and ferocious dragon’s head. Its long neck was covered in layer upon layer of heavy, shield-like Scale Armor, its snout jutted forward, lined with intersecting fangs as sharp as daggers, and from its nostrils jetted two plumes of scalding white steam that reeked of sulfur.
The small, round eyes vanished, replaced by a pair of vertical pupils that burned with the searing light of molten Gold.
Within those pupils seemed to be reflected a cold majesty—and the stunned little Xiaoka below.
’Eh...?’
’A real giant dragon?’
The immense contrast, combined with a reverence welling up from the depths of its bloodline, made Xiaoka tilt its head back and stare blankly at the figure blotting out the sun. A hint of yearning and desire appeared in its little eyes.
’I will become a giant dragon!’
’And possess the power to protect my King!’
