Instructor Kael didn't wait for an answer, he crossed his dual enchanted blades, sending two blazing arcs of wind and fire tearing across the damp cavern straight toward Marius’s chest!The air shattered with a loud crack as the elemental attacks surged forward.Marius didn't retreat. With his newly evolved Fledgling Dragon Bloodline, his agility had soared past human limits, he flexed his scale-covered legs and leapt into the air, dodging the elemental slashes as they slammed into the stone wall behind him, causing a massive explosion of dust and debris.“Subdue him!” Kael roared to the two heavily armored inspectors standing beside him. “Don't let the beast leave this portal room alive!”The two inspectors drew their massive battleaxes, their bodies surging with C-rank physical mana as they charged forward with explosive speed.Marius landed gracefully on the stone ground, his scale armor glinting under the dim dungeon light. His glowing golden slit eyes locked onto the two approach

The cold steel of a six-foot broadsword whistled through the night air, slicing toward Marius’s neck with bone-crushing speed.BANG!Marius raised the Viper Dragon Blade just in time to catch the strike, the collision sent a violent shockwave through his arms, shattering the stone beneath his feet and sending jagged rocks tumbling into the dark canyon below. The impact forced Marius back several paces, his boots carving deep lines into the dirt.“Not bad for a half-hatched lizard,” the scout sneered. Silver mana flared along his heavy blade, casting an eerie glow over his scarred face. The anti-dragon runes carved into his chest plate glowed with a cold, pale light. “Do you feel that weight in your chest, boy? That is the Dragon Slayer Suppression Aura. It seals your dragon essence and turns your physical body into fragile meat. Against the Continental Dragon Slayer Bureau, dragons are nothing more than wild game waiting to be skinned!”Marius narrowed his eyes as a heavy, cold pressu

The four purple spatial chains binding Marius’s limbs snapped like fragile glass threads as a blinding column of black and crimson energy blasted toward the crystal ceiling![150 Creation Points Deducted! Remaining Creation Points: 17.][Skill Acquired: S-Rank Dragon Transformation (Partial True Dragon Form)!][S-Rank Partial True Dragon Form: ACTIVATED!]The air inside the cathedral-sized hall shattered with a deafening sonic boom. Marius’s body expanded as thick, razor-sharp obsidian dragon scales covered every inch of his flesh, two massive, curved dragon horns erupted from his forehead, and a pair of majestic, shadow-flame dragon wings burst from his back, sweeping across the cavern!The pressure radiating from Marius was no longer human, nor was it that of a simple monster. It was the oppressive, ancient aura of an apex predator that sat at the very top of the cosmic food chain.“W-What is that?!” one of the elite mercenaries screamed, dropping his enchanted sword as his knees bu

A heavy, pod-shaped scout vessel crashed into the ash plain just ten paces from Marius’s hiding spot, kicking up a blinding cloud of black dust and glowing embers!BANG!The pod’s reinforced steel doors blew outward, and three elite Dragon Slayer enforcers stepped out, their silver-and-black armor humming with anti-dragon suppression fields. In their hands were heavy mana-tracking crossbows loaded with jagged dragon-piercing bolts.“Target location indicates high concentration of draconic essence right under this skull structure!” the lead enforcer barked, waving his hand. “Spread out and set up the anchor traps!”Marius didn't give them a single second to position themselves.From the shadows beneath the gigantic dragon skull, a blur of jet-black motion exploded forward!SWISH!Before the lead enforcer could even adjust his visor, Marius materialized directly in front of him, the Viper Dragon Blade flashed in the dim violet light, cleanly severing the enforcer’s neck in a single, flu

The pale white glare of the thousand-foot SSS-Rank Divine Executioner Spear scorched the back of Marius’s neck, locking every atom of his body in a suffocating spatial cage!“...3... 2... 1...”The mechanical countdown echoed through the shattered sky like a death knell, space itself groached and buckled under the sheer gravitational force of the descending weapon. Beneath Marius’s boots, the three-hundred-meter skeletal dragon titan groaned as its ancient bone structure began to fracture and disintegrate into fine white powder.Marius spat a glob of golden dragon blood onto the stone, his golden slit eyes burned with wild, unyielding defiance.System!
