202 Demonic Dragon’s Blessing LVL 4
‘Why do I have a feeling that it knows me?’ thought Xu Yuan. ‘Was it involved in the war between Light and Dark?’
‘Or is it because it was in contact with the Dark Demon Dragon? That might explain why it was being hunted by the Light-Types…’
...If that were true, everything else would make sense. However, these were just Xu Yuan’s speculations.
‘Did the Dark Demon Dragon leave anything behind when it first appeared?’
As far as Xu Yuan understood, the Dark Demon Dragon had only appeared twice. Once, during the first war between the Light and the Dark. The Dark Demon Dragon had disappeared shortly after without a trace. The second time was in the form of Xu Yuan himself.
‘That doesn’t make sense,’ thought Xu Yuan. ‘The Dark Demon Dragon must have appeared at other times…’
Xu Yuan thought that if the Dark Demon Dragon had only appeared in the ancient past only once, then it was impossible for the mythical beast to know about him.
The Thorn Fairy’s panicked voice interrupted his thoughts.
“Your Majesty, this is not good!” she said. “This place is going to collapse!”
The mythical beast’s entire body was now burning in the holy light. Its body was turning into ashes slowly. The place they were in trembled violently.
“We must leave!”
Xu Yuan turned to look at the cocoon. He didn’t want to abandon it. He felt like he needed to do something. In any case, the mythical beast had called him “Your Majesty”. He couldn’t just leave!
Xu Yuan moved closer to the cocoon. The holy light emanated so much heat that he felt as though he was in the middle of the sun. He wrapped the cocoon in dark energy. The dark flames tried to battle with the holy light. However, it was in vain. Xu Yuan’s power wasn’t as strong as it once had been. His dark flames were burned away by the holy light.
‘If only I was at my peak, I might be able to do it.’ Xu Yuan sighed.
If he was in the Hero Plane with all his power at his disposal, he might have been able to save the cocoon. But he had to follow the rules of the Overlord Plane while he was here. His powers had greatly reduced.
The dark flames couldn’t compete with the holy light for dominance.
‘What should I do?’ thought Xu Yuan. He didn’t want to give in. ‘Maybe…’
He suddenly thought of an idea. His eyes glittered. His current strength wasn’t enough, but the mythical beast’s strength might just be enough to dispel the holy light. Even if it wasn’t enough, Xu Yuan would help as much as he could.
“The Demonic Dragon’s Blessing!”
Xu Yuan activated his ability and applied it to the mythical beast. Previously, his ability could only be used on the Dark-Types. However, as the ability labeled up, it was not limited to Dark-Types anymore.
Dark flames and mists rolled and encased the cocoon.
“Your Majesty, why don’t we retreat?” The Thorn Fairy’s voice trembled.
The power of the holy light was too strong. Even though it had remained inactive for too many years, it was still strong.
Xu Yuan’s ability had yet to be applied to the mythical beast in the cocoon, but it couldn’t bypass the holy light. The Thorn Fairy saw this and got even more anxious.
It seemed all efforts were in vain. The power of the holy light wasn’t abating. It targeted the mythical beast inside the cocoon.
Xu Yuan hesitated. He didn’t feel like leaving just like that. However, there seemed to be no solution to the problem in front of them.
‘Wait… I have a skill enhancement point from the Dark Crystal.’
Xu Yuan recalled that he had gotten a skill enhancement point when he consumed the Dark Crystal. He hadn’t used it yet.
Carla had offered the Dark crystal as a price for saving the Thorn Fairy.
Xu Yuan knew which ability he wanted to strengthen. He knew that the Demonic Dragon’s Blessing, in its current state, wasn’t strong enough to overpower the holy light and reach the mythical beast. However, if he strengthened it, it might just work!
He applied the skill enhancement point to the Demonic Dragon’s Blessing. It was upgraded to Level 4.
[Demonic Dragon’s Blessing LVL 4: imbues the Demonic Dragon’s aura onto living creatures, strengthening them. All attributes will increase by 2000% for 1 Hour. The living creature has a chance of transforming, and the buff cannot be dispelled.]
‘Attribute increases, duration is longer, and a small chance of transformation…’
The ability even gained a new effect due to the upgrade! There was a chance for the creature to transform. However, Xu Yuan wasn’t sure how the transformation would be. The probability seemed minuscule, at that.
The effect was very difficult to verify. Even Xu Yuan couldn’t guarantee what the creature would transform into if he used the ability. Besides, applying it to many creatures would be better to make sure they transformed, as the chance was too slim.
If, for example, he used it on numerous Skeleton Soldiers, at least one or two of them would transform. Only then could he properly study the transformation.
Right now, he only had one subject. So, he couldn’t depend on it transforming. But his ability couldn’t be dispelled…
‘Does that mean the holy light can’t cancel it out?’
Xu Yuan activated his ability once again. “The Demonic Dragon’s Blessing!”
Dark flames and black mists appeared once more. The holy light was the same as before. But this time, the dark flames and mists were tenacious. It resisted the holy light and wrapped around the cocoon.
A familiar voice reverberated faintly. “Thank you…”
It was the mythical beast! It was thanking Xu Yuan for the blessing.
