Chapter 270 Blood Scale Berserker

As the space twisted, the red dragon disappeared from its original position and drilled into the temporarily created different-dimensional space - the Egg of Shelter.

Cassius stared nervously at the "Heart of Karix" and "Astral Prism" in space, his forehead with bone spurs slightly wrinkled.

"The alternate dimension is only temporary, and it is difficult to prevent these auras from leaking out. I'm afraid only the [Kingdom Domain] can prevent the gods from spying on us."

"I must bring them back to the palace."

Thinking of this, Cassius stretched out his sharp claws and tore the space in front of him again. With a "hissing" sound, he created a space crack with flames burning at the edge.

The red dragon drilled into the somewhat narrow crack and appeared in the main hall of the Iron Dragon Wing Kingdom.

"Everyone—"

"Leave here immediately."

At the command full of authority, the tiefling guards standing guard at the door, the maids cleaning the garden, and the wyverns perched on the stone pillars all left in a hurry.

After all, this is an order from the supreme and only being in this country, and there is absolutely no room for refusal.

Cassius exerted the power of the [Kingdom Domain] to the extreme, so that the surrounding magic network structure was as hard as diamond, and then he took out the "Heart of Karix" and the "Astral Prism".

He sealed the Astral Prism tightly and stored it in the deepest part of the palace treasury.

Afterwards, he began to study the "Heart of Karix" which he had obtained from the astral realm after a thrilling experience of snatching food from the tiger's mouth.

Cassius used force field magic to suspend it in mid-air - it was a fuzzy, glowing red crystal, forming the shape of a miniature heart, with dragon blood flowing slowly inside it, forming chaotic ripples, shaped like the purifying fire spewed out by Carix.

It is this unremarkable "heart" that contains tremendous power that is unimaginable to him.

Cassius was not going to give the "Heart of Karix" to the kingdom's spellcasters for research. After all, it was a secret treasure at the divine level.

Faced with the temptation of this level of power, Cassius could not trust anyone except himself.

The red dragon tried to spit out high-temperature flames, wanting to inject them into the crystal and observe its reaction, but the blazing energy was like a drop in the ocean, swallowed up by the crystal without even causing a ripple.

"As expected, it is the remaining power of the Dragon God."

“It’s essentially repression.”

Perhaps only the Red Dragon's [Primal Breath], which is exerted with all its might, can have some effect on these crystals.

He suddenly thought of the "blood dripping recognition" operation that he had often seen in novels in his previous life.

"So, what about dragon blood?"

Cassius lifted his scales slightly and scratched his skin with the tip of his claws.

Carefully take out a drop of boiling dragon blood and use force field magic to suspend it in the air.

The moment the dragon blood came into contact with the "Heart of Karix", a magical reaction that even the [Kingdom Domain] could not suppress suddenly erupted, smoke filled the sky, sparks flew, and endless flames burst out from the crystal.

"boom!"

The next moment, the extremely hot crystal actually pierced directly into the red dragon's wound, entered his surging basal blood vessels, and flowed towards his strong and beating heart.

“Roar——” Kaixiu suddenly let out a painful roar.

He rolled on the ground, causing the earth around him to tremble continuously and even develop spider-web-like cracks.

This caused the guards around the palace to be terrified, thinking that His Majesty was going to summon some terrible natural disaster again, and they fled in all directions.

Cassius finally felt what it felt like when his followers accepted the gift of the dragon veins. After the "Heart of Carix" entered his body, it was like a red-hot iron ball being put into a bucket of water. The blood in his body began to boil and even seeped out from the gaps between his scales.

The red dragon suddenly opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a raging sea of ​​fire, and even flames appeared in its light golden pupils.

A spectacular scene appeared in his mind—a thousand-meter-long red dragon tore through the void, landed on the main material plane, and occupied the entire horizon.

He opened his bloody mouth and spewed out endless purifying fire, turning all living things on the ground, whether they were human cities, elven forest palaces or anything else, into the most humble ashes.

"No! It's the end of the world!"

"Fire! Flames everywhere!"

"We have nowhere to escape! This is the final judgment!"

Everywhere there were miserable cries, desperate howls, and cultists praying with their arms outstretched.

But when Karix completely completed His purification, the only sound left on the earth was the sound of burning flames, and nothing else was left but silence.

The red dragon looked down at the burning earth, raised its head and let out a long, savage howl.

"Ow!"

At the same time, Cassius roared again.

The light in the basal blood vessels passed through the skin and scales, and white steam continued to be discharged from the spiracles on the neck and tail, and finally even emitted dazzling flames.

This level of high temperature has already exceeded the limit of what ordinary things can withstand. Even with the fire resistance of a red dragon's magma bath, the pain is still unbearable.

In extreme pain, the red dragon fell into a rage and began to vent endlessly on the surrounding environment - he left several feet deep scratches on the metal floor with his sharp claws, smashed the luxurious furniture into pieces with his thick and long tail, and even gnawed everything in the palace with his sharp teeth, leaving charred explosion holes under his body.

This magnificent palace seemed fragile and even crumbling under his destruction.

Finally, Cassius stopped and gasped for breath.

"huh, huh"

At this time, the "Heart of Karix" had completely entered the heart and was beating with the ups and downs of the red dragon's body.

At this time, Cassius' eyes were bloodshot, and a large amount of saliva flowed from his mouth. A blood-red luster covered his scales, and even his horns were a little worn. Cracks with red light surged all over his body, making him look like the mad dragons in the records of the "Dragon Madness".

But he finally regained some of his remaining sanity - although he was still crazy, at least he could understand the information refreshed on the panel.

[You have absorbed the [Heart of Karix]. Due to the effect of your ancestral bloodline, your body, mind, and even soul will undergo irreversible changes.]
[Your alignment is [Lawful Evil] → [Chaotic Evil]]
[Thanks to the power of Karix, you have gained an additional sub-class: [Blood Scale Berserker]]
Bloodscaled Fury

An angry dragon is truly terrifying. A dragon in full rage—eyes bloodshot, saliva dripping from its mouth, a bloody sheen coating its scales—is a terror that few can withstand.

They are solitary dragons, more akin to destructive forces of nature, and their propensity for chaos means that no one can predict when a bloodscale fury might suddenly strike a human settlement or wilderness outpost and raze the place, leaving a blast crater in its wake.
