Chapter 60 Awakening (I)

With a low roar, Cassius slowly opened his eyes. He felt a little dizzy. A lot of information flooded into his mind while he was sleeping, and he didn't have time to digest it carefully.

"It should have slept for a long time this time."

His scales were covered with a thick layer of dust.

Cassius shook his huge head and flapped his wings gently. The bones that had not moved for a long time made crisp sounds, and ashes flew around his body.

"It's more majestic this time, not bad."

Cassius looked at the huge glass mirror that had been prepared long ago in the underground palace and nodded with satisfaction.

Perhaps because of the deep exploration of bloodline power, Cassius is now much more mature than the average red dragon. Its huge body is fifteen meters long, and its proportions are almost the same as those of an adult red dragon. It no longer has the immaturity of a young dragon.

The two thick horns on Cassius's head were elongated, with a yellowish bone-white surface. Several rows of small horns extended on the top of his head, and the small horns on his cheeks and jaw were more prominent, making his huge head look even more ferocious.

The golden pupils of a red dragon fade slightly - a sign of aging, and it is said that the eyes of the oldest red dragons resemble balls of lava.

The bright, scarlet scales that covered his entire body turned a deeper red, and the shiny texture was replaced by a smooth, matte texture, with only a hint of gold at the edges due to the metal scales.

The wings of the red dragon become wider, and the trailing edge of the wing membrane connects to the body behind the hind legs and under the tail. Along the trailing edge of the wing, a light blue frill appears, similar to the blue color of metal burning in fire.

"The intelligence of dragons also increases with age."

After observing his own appearance, Cassius began to process the huge and complicated inheritance in his mind. He was pleasantly surprised to find that his ability to receive and understand information had also become stronger.

“Is this Long Wei?”

According to the information in the inheritance, Cassius controls his body to release an invisible aura, which is an ability called "terrifying majesty", or what ordinary people call "dragon power".

The mere presence of a dragon can cause herds of animals to flee in fear and shake the resolve of the most staunch warrior.

It’s a pity that there are no other living creatures in this underground palace except him (even if there are, they will be burned to death by the influence of his sleep). Cassius really wants to try the effect of this so-called dragon power on living creatures.

After the experiment on Long Wei, Cassius continued to process the information in his mind.

This time, it's magic.

Due to their inherent magical nature, all dragons develop inherent magical abilities as they mature.

Among them is the ability to cast arcane spells, the first signs of magical talent that a dragon displays when it reaches teenage years.

"Is this the innate magical ability of dragons?"

"It's terrifying."

Cassius was amazed.

Because when he was dealing with these inheritances, information began to refresh frantically on the panel.

[Dragons are powerful magical creatures that are naturally proficient in many aspects of supernatural phenomena. As a red dragon, you gain the ability to cast spells deep in your blood after reaching a certain age.]
[You gain additional spellcasting level: 3]
[Your racial spellcasting level is superimposed on the warlock spellcasting level. Your current spellcasting level is: 9]
Cassius' heart was boiling with emotion.

"Finally here, spellcasting levels stack."

"Let me show you the dragon sorcerer's - a quick ascension to heaven." Suddenly, the red dragon felt his understanding of the world suddenly rise, and he directly came into contact with the fifth layer of the magic network.

His body is further connected to the magic network. His every move can affect the power of magic, and he can even reach the depths of the magic network with pure spiritual will.

However, the data on the panel has not stopped refreshing.

More and more complex information flooded into my mind.

"This is."

[Some wise men insist that humans first learned the subtle arts of magic from dragons. If such claims are true—and the elves debate this question for their own honor—then the dragons must have kept some secrets that only a true dragon could know by tapping into his own bloodline.]
[These dragons call themselves "true dragon sorcerers," a term these proud creatures use to distinguish themselves from the lesser dragon sorcerers.]
Discussing spells with mortals is like discussing seasons with grasshoppers. - Sarimosk, Gold Dragon Scholar
[【True Dragon Warlock】Professional requirements: Basic Warlock level 5 or above, pure-blooded dragon]
[You meet the occupation requirements and have the necessary inheritance. Do you want to advance?]
"Hidden advanced profession!"

Kaixiu was immediately overjoyed, it was like a pillow sent to him just when he was sleepy - it came at the right time.

He was just worrying that the Dragon Vein Warlock profession was too useless for him, and then an advanced profession appeared, and it was exclusive to dragons, so it must be very strong.

"determine."

Cassius chose to confirm without hesitation.

Suddenly, a vast and sophisticated amount of magical knowledge gushed out and overflowed in his mind.

It turns out that if these gifted and long-lived dragons were able to devote themselves to research, the results they would produce would surpass those of mortals.

[You obtain the Warlock advanced sub-class [True Dragon Warlock]]
[Feature [Dragon Spells]: You will gain access to unique spells that only dragons know. Sorcerers or wizards may also learn these spells if a dragon teaches them carefully, but most of them are useless to mortals.]
[You obtain dragon spells [Scratching] [Sheltering Egg] [Energy Scale] [Fire and Water]]
【Scratching Technique】

Evocation
A shimmering field of magical force vaguely in the shape of a claw materializes in front of the dragon. By swiping its claws at its foe, the dragon directs the spell's energy toward its target.

[Shelter Egg]

2nd level transmutation spell

After casting this spell, a shimmering dragon egg made of purple energy appears, envelops the dragon, and then disappears, taking the dragon to an extradimensional pocket of space where it is immune to any form of attack.

The dragon can neither see the material world nor cast spells or attack from a place it has left, though it can use spells or magic items that affect only itself.

[Energy Scale]

3nd level transmutation spell

The caster transforms his natural defenses into a magical aura, and his scales shimmer with energy, creating swarms of energy fragments that float around the dragon's body like thousands of tiny moons.

【Go through fire and water】

4th-level evocation, conjuration spells

The dragon filled his lungs with swirling, burning energy, and then, with a powerful exhale, he engulfed the space before him in a fierce cone of fire.

As the last wisp of energy leaves your lips, his body becomes part of the breath weapon, allowing him to travel through space and reconstruct his body anywhere within the breath weapon's range.
