After clearing out the Spider Cave, in the foreseeable future, Austin no longer needs to worry about the magic power resources needed for his own growth. Once this batch of Magic Crystals is fully absorbed, Austin will be able to consume more Magic Crystals to continue his evolution and growth.
With the Sub-Magic Stones derived from the Magic Crystal Vein, Austin can significantly increase the number of Dragon Vein Beastmen. Of course, before transformation, they need a certain level of training and selection to maximize the potential of the transformation.
After Austin successfully activated his third Talent Magic, the return of Grom, the leader of the Blood Claw Tribe Branch and a nearly Gold Level Bear Man, was imminent. Austin planned to conquer the Blood Claw Tribe's branch before his return and then ambush Grom with superior forces to completely annihilate him.
If everything goes smoothly, then it will be the cold winter season.
With the three-month freezing period of the cold winter season, and considering the branch tribe is several hundred miles away from the true headquarters, it would take at least half a year for the powerful Blood Claw Tribe to figure out what happened here. Even if they seek vengeance, it would take at least half a year, and given the action efficiency of the Beastman Tribe, a delay of one or two years wouldn't be surprising.
With more than half a year's time to develop, considering the growth level of the Dragon Nest Tribe, combined with the Dark Elf's Breathing Technique and a large number of Natural Magic Crystals, both Austin and the Dragon Vein Beastmen will reach an incredibly powerful level.
According to the Dark Elf, the large tribe named Blood Claw Tribe has a population of only tens of thousands, and the Blood Claw Race Leader is about Gold Level. Moreover, the distance between them is not very close, so there's a chance they can contend when the time comes.
Although it's unclear why the Blood Claw Tribe chose to branch out to such a distant place to establish a tribe, if everything goes well, Austin wouldn't fear even if the Blood Claw Race Leader came personally.
Of course, all of this is predicated on Austin first slaying the Bear Man Grom.
With the plan set, Austin flew back to the Dragon's Nest to carry out the modification plans for the elite Beastmen.
The Breathing Technique provided by the Dark Elf has already been widely promoted among the three major legions. Time is always set aside for daily training, although its effectiveness hasn't become visible yet, it has shown some benefits, at least the Beastman soldiers have gained a bit more strength.
Unfortunately, this Breathing Technique comes from the Dark Race, and its usage inevitably bears dark aura, which affects the Beastmen who enter the realm of Extraordinary through it. While they gain night-time advantages, they also acquire certain disadvantages.
However, as of now, this is the only Breathing Technique available, so Austin has no choice.
After cultivating the Breathing Technique, the transformed Beastmen are noticeably stronger than the first batch of Dragon Vein Attendants. The trace of dark aura absorbed into their bodies has also morphed through Austin's modifications, turning their skin black and shrouding them in wisps of black mist; their black muscles appeared as hard as steel, making them appear like an army forged from steel from afar.
"Roar!!!"
On the plaza, a transformed Beastman with black mist surrounding him, as if burned with black fire, roared, sending airwaves sweeping in all directions like tides.
In the next moment, as he stomped on the ground, the Earth cracked open like a mirror, cobweb-like fractures spreading rapidly. Cut by the strong recoil, the transformed Beastman shot out like a black lightning bolt.
The black mist gathered on his fist, turning his entire arm ink-black, as if carrying massive force, punched at the giant rock in front.
Bang!
With a loud crash, the person-high boulder shattered instantly, sending rock shards scattering like bullets, smoke and dust enveloping the sky.
Whoa!
The surrounding onlookers, all Beastmen, shouted in shock, displaying emotions of great surprise.
Though a Beastman's physique is much stronger than a human's, it's merely several degrees stronger. A regular Beastman's body is still considered mortal, unable to smash rocks or crush the ground.
Yet, transformed ordinary comrades gained such tremendous power all at once; how could the surrounding normal Beastmen not be surprised?
"It's not just because of the Breathing Technique, but because I've become stronger..."
From atop the high platform, Austin overlooked everything, silently speaking to himself.
After activating the third Talent Magic, Austin began to focus on modifying the selected elite Beastmen. During the modification process, he distinctly felt the bond between his bloodline and the clan becoming more intimate, even being able to vaguely feel the blood flow inside the transformed Beastmen.
When the magic power from the Sub-Magic Stones flowed into the transformed Beastmen, strands of magic power coursed through their blood vessels, not only unlocking the potential of their flesh and blood cells but also incorporating the trace of dark fighting qi refined through using the Breathing Technique within these few days. With the influence of Austin's innate Authority as a Giant Dragon, they began undergoing an indescribable mutation, culminating in these transformed Beastmen.
"With such a dark aura saturating their whole bodies, henceforth they shall be called Dark Dragon Guards."
A total of twenty Dark Dragon Guards were created, chosen from among the elite of the three major legions.
Perhaps because of the Breathing Technique, these Dark Dragon Guards are a bit stronger than the previous Dragon Vein Attendants, all possessing Low Tier Bronze Level strength, and with such prowess combined, even Austin would have to exert considerable effort to destroy them all.
Moreover, possibly due to the boost in Austin's strength, several among the nine Dragon Vein Attendants from before have broken through to a certain extent. Coupled with the Breathing Technique given by the Dark Elf, their strength is comparable to the Dark Dragon Guards.
In this way, nearly thirty Low Tier Bronze Extraordinary beings, coordinating with each other, can exert a considerable restraining effect, even if Grom is a powerful close-to-Gold Level leader.
In addition to Austin being of Silver Level battle power, he is quite confident in the mission to exterminate Grom.
"Next, I must completely destroy the Blood Claw Tribe Branch!"
Staring at the hard-won Dragon Nest Tribe below, a glint of cold light flashed in Austin's eyes.
