Chapter 31 - Chapter 31: Testing New Strength

Kojima Ren stood in the expanded training ground the next morning, feeling the enhanced power of his Abyssal Sovereign Dragon Bloodline flowing through him. The gacha upgrade had given him a daily free pull and stronger rewards, and the new servant Thorne was already helping Vaelor reinforce the outer barriers with living wood roots.

Kojima: Let's test the new bloodline properly. I need to know what I can do now.

Sylphira stood a short distance away, her long red hair tied back loosely. She watched quietly.

Sylphira: Master… be careful. We're here if you need us.

Mira leaned against a nearby post, arms crossed, a small smile on her face.

Mira: Master~ Go ahead. Show us what that upgraded bloodline can do.

Vaelor and Thorne stood ready. Thorne's bark-like skin gleamed as he prepared defensive roots just in case.

Vaelor: Master, I will observe. If things get too chaotic, I'll step in with style.

Thorne nodded once.

Thorne: My roots are ready to contain any overflow, Master.

Kojima took a deep breath and activated Sovereign Dragon Form. Black scales rippled across his arms and shoulders, and shadowy wings with golden lightning edges burst from his back. His eyes glowed with dark gold energy. The ground trembled slightly under the pressure of his presence.

He felt stronger, faster, and more in control than ever.

Kojima focused and released a controlled burst of dark lightning breath toward a row of training dummies. The lightning struck with precision, shattering the dummies and leaving deep craters in the ground. Then he flapped his wings once, creating a powerful gust mixed with shadow flames that cleared the entire training area in one sweep.

The power was immense, but he managed to pull it back before it damaged the surrounding gardens.

Kojima: This is… a lot. I can control it better now.

He canceled the form, the scales and wings fading away. His body felt energized, but he could tell the 10-minute limit would still be a factor in real fights.

Sylphira walked closer, checking him over with a calm look.

Sylphira: Master… you handled it well. The power suits you.

Mira pushed off the post and approached, her violet eyes bright.

Mira: Master~ That looked impressive. You moved like a real dragon just now. I wouldn't mind seeing more of that later.

Vaelor clapped slowly, a faint smile on his face.

Vaelor: A most impressive display, Master. The training ground survived with only minor craters. Progress.

Thorne examined the damaged area and began growing new roots to repair the ground.

Thorne: The form is strong, Master. My roots can help stabilize the area during future tests.

Kojima took a moment to catch his breath, then opened his status to confirm the changes.

The group continued training for a while longer. Liriel joined them, using her winds to help clear debris and keep the air fresh. The island felt more alive with the new servants and the improved bloodline.
