Chapter 40: Bloodline Gift (Part )
Thick white smoke filled the air all around. The monsters could not see what was happening above and could only see a huge black shadow vaguely emerging.

"Roar--"

Trump roared like a dragon.

The smoke dissipated, he peeled off the discarded leather bag, supported his body with his arms, and slowly stood up.

Thus was born the first dragonblood ogre of Erezegei—if the dragons’ aesthetic tastes weren’t so outrageous.

The monster in front of him could no longer be called an ogre.

He was more than five meters tall and almost as wide. Even his former tribesmen would look like a dwarf if they stood in front of him.

The still plump and strong body was covered with bright scarlet scales.

The originally stubby fingers became slender and sharp, transforming from human-like hands into claws with dragon-like characteristics.

Trump slowly opened his eyes.

The pupils are golden.

Several rows of small red horns protruded from its forehead, making its already ugly and terrifying head even more hideous.

If one could cut open his flesh, one would find that the blood flowing in the ogre mage's body is boiling hot and filled with violent elements, and blood vessels similar to those of the dragon race are gradually forming in his body.

Compared to the ogre, the current Trump is more appropriately called the "dragon demon".

After all, he can no longer be considered a pure subspecies of giant, but a dragon vein creature with true dragon blood flowing in his veins. His lifespan, which originally lasted only a few decades, will be extended to hundreds of years.

Now Trump can even breathe fire.

In Cassius's dependents panel, Trump's data also changed dramatically.

Comment: "This draconic ogre will turn you into barbecue meat and then swallow you whole."

Its challenge level jumped to level 10, and key values ​​such as strength, physique, and agility underwent earth-shaking changes, and a special ability of breath attack appeared.

At the same time, Cassius could clearly feel that due to the suppression from deep in his blood, the bond between him and his followers became closer, and they no longer had the possibility of disobeying orders.

Even the thought of defecting will be detected.

“The effect is very significant.”

Cassius said delightedly.

However, this was gained by Trump at the risk of his life through in-depth research on the magic network.

Cassius knew that this was not universal.

"Master, I succeeded."

There was irrepressible excitement and joy in his tone, as well as satisfaction as a wizard for having successfully completed his experiment.

The monster on the boulder, which was more appropriately called the "dragon demon", knelt down to thank the red dragon, then jumped down, causing a noise on the ground.

"Boss, you're so fucking big!"

“How much more food can I eat with this!”

The ogres adhered to the principle of "bigger is better" and cheered for the boss's new form. The only thing they could think of was that they could eat more if they became bigger. Meanwhile, Doro's face was filled with gloom.

"Chimera"

Cassius called out the second name.

Chimera is the first follower of the Red Dragon and the top combat force of the Burning Lair.

What's more, it is a distant relative of the dragon, and Cassius just wanted to do an experiment to test the effect of this "blood gift" on dragon creatures.

Even if it fails, the red dragon will not feel the slightest bit of pain, after all, such a chaotic and evil beast has no loyalty at all.

The three-headed monster landed on the boulder, folded its wings, and lowered its head respectfully.

The blood flowed into the mouth of the dragon's skull.

Chimera let out a suppressed growl, and the blood in his body boiled.

But it was not in as much pain as the ogre, because dragon blood was not that difficult to absorb for a creature that was originally a dragon.

The monsters watched quietly around, and the Chimera's reaction was far less intense than the ogre's.

As the blood spread throughout its body, its three heads rose up at the same time.

The dragon's head even spewed out flames involuntarily.

Although Chimera has three heads of different shapes, its will remains one. The different heads only represent three sides of its personality.

The dragon's head drives it to attack, plunder and accumulate treasure, the lion's nature arouses its desire to hunt powerful biological threats in its territory, and the sheep's head makes it vicious and stubborn, and fight to the death.

The original Chimera was based on a lion's head.

But when the gifted blood filled the whole body, the dragon head of the Chimera continued to expand, and the keratinous spikes on the back of the neck extended along the head to the back of the body, replacing the lush mane, and scales gradually grew in the places that were originally covered with lion fur.

"Roar--"

The Chimera's dragon head raised its head and let out a long roar.

Its body expanded rapidly, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It did not have the exaggerated means of absorbing energy like the ogre, and it stopped at just over eight meters in length.

Its dragon head grows much faster than those of a lion or a sheep, and its dragon character completely dominates.

Compared to the previous contradictory monster, the current Chimera is more like a crooked red dragon, while the sheep head and lion head have become burdens and additions.

"Roar"

The Chimeras finished digesting the food on the spot before they once again lowered their three heads respectfully and growled together.

Cassius could feel that, whether because of strength or blood suppression, Chimera had completely eliminated the idea of ​​rebellion and only wanted to cling to the thigh wholeheartedly.

As for the future, it is hard to say, because the dragon does not have the character of "following until death".

Cassius's followers panel also changed.

[Dragon-like Chimera]

Challenge Rating: 9 (5000 XP)

The challenge level of this chimera is level 9, second only to Trump.

The power of the Chimera's fire breath has become even more terrifying, and the scales all over its body have also greatly improved its natural armor value. The Giant Eagle Knight's sword can now hardly hurt it.

"How could such a beast be ahead of me?"

Seeing that Chimera received the gift first, the earth elf Doro's face became even gloomier.

However, due to the presence of the red dragon, he could only suppress his anger and continue to stand there waiting, but his breathing became more rapid.
