In the third year of Kalon's slumber, the Red Dragon, which had turned into gray stone, finally reacted.
After continuous burning and refining by magical flames, a more powerful ancient bloodline was born from the mediocre Evil Dragon Blood, and the magical flames were swallowed by a revived trace of crimson blood.
The Evil Dragon Blood, which surged throughout the Red Dragon's body and was like dull paint compared to the newly born bloodline, was also rapidly devoured.
The Red Dragon's heartbeat paused for a few breaths, and then new blood burst forth from the depths of its bloodline, rapidly flowing through the entire Dragon's body after being transported by the heart.
The strong magic power accumulated on the outside of its body was also activated, turning into a small-scale magic storm in the cave. The Red Dragon's aura began to grow from nothing, slowly strengthening. It was accumulating power and slowly recovering.
The increasingly powerful ancient bloodline was nourishing the Dragon's body, changing the Dragon's physique.
The Dragon's current body was as thin as a skeleton covered with a layer of scales, like a skeletal Dragon. Its body length had grown by half a meter, but it was larger than its size before entering slumber.
His neck proportion was slightly shorter compared to other Red Dragons, but it appeared thicker.
A layer of bone armor grew on its broad lower jaw that acted like a protective shield , and the originally slender thorns on the skin covering the protection layer became thick and short.
On its head, which was clearly chiseled like rock, grew thick and long Dragon Horns. The patterns that originally coiled around the Dragon Horns like burning fire lines also turned into interwoven patterns of dark red-brown, earthy yellow, and golden colors.
The seemingly indestructible, metal-hard Dragon Horns had three branches. A pair of Dragon Horns, with six branches in total, stood upright towards the back and top from the head lying on the ground, revealing unparalleled solidity and sharpness.
The base of the Dragon Horns was actually hollow, which meant that the Dragon could now also transmit magic power and cast spells through its Dragon Horns.
The scales on the Dragon's body quietly fell off, and the newly grown scales were wider and thicker, a deep red with a golden luster. Even if it pretended to be a mixed-blood Gold Dragon, many Dragon would probably believe it.
Kalon in the cave was undergoing changes, and outside the cave, changes were also occurring.
Sensing the Young Dragon leader's recovery, Blue Dragon Dos emerged from the cave.
He called out to the sneaky White Dragon Gemot and his brother Camid, who had the demeanor of a movie star. The three Dragon grabbed tall stone jars used to store honey and set off into the forest.
The anxious Blue Dragon hurriedly flapped his wings, beginning to worry whether that damned black bear would have ruined all the nearby beehives.
Antagena suddenly remembered the task Kalon had given her to manage the orchard, so she took the eagerly looking Black Dragon Rosani as labor. Black Dragon were also good at digging soil, and of course, clearing weeds should be something he was good at too.
Klenaya suddenly found herself seemingly isolated by the other Dragons, but even with a more developed brain than humans did not mean more wisdom than humans. The proud Red Dragon also had no concept of self-reflection. In essence she was a idiotic child and given her age it wouldn't be off the mark.
So she could only wander in front of Kalon's Dragon Nest every day. Even with a head that had been squeezed by a butt, she knew that as long as Kalon woke up, the other Dragons would re-accept her, her behaviour was almost like that of an EX or a dog outside of is owners house.
The air in the cave had changed from dry heat to high temperature. The misty magma gas and sulfur smell filled the entire cave. This place almost felt due to these conditions like that of subterranean cave near a volcano.
The power diffused by Kalon's recovery created tiny cracks on the originally smooth stone walls of the cave. From within the cracks, the scent of the Fire Elemental Plane, which was subordinate to Aikania World, faintly emanated.
The flat ground swelled with raised patterns, and some dull metal ores were mixed in the raised soil.
A wave similar to Dragon's Might gradually rose from the Red Dragon lying on the uneven ground, but unlike Dragon's Might, this power was formless yet substantial.
As soon as this power was born, it rapidly spread out. Unimaginable high temperatures, like a domain, enveloped all four directions—up, down, left, and right—of the power fluctuation, penetrating everywhere, leaving no escape.
The dried insect and animal carcasses scattered on the ground instantly burned to ashes, and even the metal ores beneath the Dragon's feet slowly melted into black-red molten iron due to the scorching high temperature.
Even the magic power within the cave reacted violently as if being scorched by a fierce fire. This power burned everything, incinerating all. Fortunately, without Kalon's deliberate activation, this domain only maintained its minimum power.
This was the power that new blood brought into his Dragon body, similar to an aura, but even more powerful. This was the domain - All Things Turn to Ash, and it was a talent ability awakened during the transition from the hatchling to the Young Dragon stage.
After three years, the slumbering Kalon finally opened his eyes. Dragon's Might spread, signifying his recovery. He felt the exceptionally powerful strength within his body, and the spells he had awakened due to growing into a Young Dragon.
He felt like he could fight several versions of himself from before his slumber. Perhaps after the rapid growth period following his slumber, he could compete with the adolescent Dragon Akzi.
Before he could feel proud, Kalon discovered that the stone walls in the cave had begun to melt into stone water due to his power. He was startled and quickly retracted his Dragon's Might.
With the skilled control ability from Dragon's Might, the power of the All Things Turn to Ash domain was also easily reined in.
Then he shot out of his Dragon Nest, lest he become the first idiot in Dragon history to be crushed by his own collapsing cave, and then be ridiculed for countless generations by other Dragon who knew, their bloodline inheritance marking it as a disgrace.
Klenaya, sensing the commotion, was peeking into the cave entrance but was directly knocked flying by the suddenly rushing Red Dragon. Caught off guard, Klenaya once again tasted the long-lost flavor of the Red Dragon's 'mud truck'.
Klenaya, who had been developing and growing in length to nearly five meters after her slumber, was like a teenager encountering a strong man under the male Red Dragon's strength. She flailed her limbs in the air, tumbled several times, and then splatted onto the ground.
Klenaya shook her head. At that moment, she seemed to see stars all over the sky.
Roar! The Red Dragon's command was perfectly executed. The Young Dragon formation, attacking in a triangle, quickly fanned out in a circle with Kalon as the pivot, encircling the herd of wild oxen that had started stampeding across the plain, sensing trouble.
The rapidly descending Dragon, at about ten meters above the ground, reopened their broad wings. Their momentum slightly slowed, their bodies crashed directly into the stampeding wild oxen.
Claws plunged deep into the prey's flesh. The dying wails of the wild oxen and the excited roars of the other Dragons in slaughter became the main melody of the grassland beneath their feet.
Kalon did not know what had happened to the other Young Dragons during his slumber, but the first thing he did upon waking was habitually gather the Dragon, making them hunt for him, leading them, influencing them, and making them accustomed to him again.
He also wanted to use this opportunity to see if any of the Young Dragons, due to inflated power and his own period of weakness, would challenge him.
Currently, Klenaya, the most stubborn and likely to challenge him, was still in a state of great shock after almost being knocked silly by him. The other Young Dragons showed submission and welcome.
Kalon originally wanted to try the 'Dragon King returns after three years of absence' act, to give these Young Dragons a little shock, but unfortunately, fate did not favor him at all right now.
The Red Dragon regretfully shook his head, while eating heartily. The long-awaited food flowed down his throat and intestines into his shriveled, empty stomach, then was squeezed and crushed by the Dragon's powerful stomach. The stomach acid, capable of corroding everything, rapidly broke down the food.
The food was quickly digested and converted into the energy needed for life, supplying the Dragon. The Dragon's emaciated body gradually filled out.
The food piled next to Kalon by the Young Dragon diminished, and the Red Dragon's strong muscles became full again. The streamlined and bulging muscles made the thin Black Dragon Rosani incredibly envious. this was exactly like that of a thin wimp looking at a shredded chad.
As the Red Dragon's body expanded, a majesty and power far surpassing anything before emerged from the Red Dragon, as if the Dragon before them represented power, the embodiment of violence.
No artist in the world could sculpt the Red Dragon's head, where majesty and ferocity coexisted. The thick, long, branched Dragon Horns possessed a unique ferocity and beauty.
The mouth full of thick, long fangs and the wide jaw made it difficult to imagine how astonishing the biting force of the Dragon before them was. Even the toughest thigh bone of a wild ox was easily crushed.
The scales covering its entire robust and powerful body shimmered with a luster that even dazzled other Dragon. Even the Gold Dragons and Silver Dragons, renowned for the beauty of their scales, could not compare to the brilliance of the Red Dragon before them. It was like shining treasure.
All of this fascinated Green Dragon Antagena. Dazed, Antagena involuntarily stepped forward, wanting to touch Kalon's scales.
Klenaya, who had been in a state of utter shock, instantly sobered up. Warning and threat appeared in her eyes as she blocked the still-eating Kalon, emitting a low warning growl from her throat.
Camid quietly poked his brother Gemot with his claw and whispered, "That beautiful little female Dragon seems to have fallen for Kalon. You don't stand a chance, Gemot."
Although Dragon only reach sexual maturity during their adolescence, Young Dragon are not ignorant children. They have already begun to develop awareness and knowledge in this regard.
Gemot looked at the little female Dragon, who was like a green beauty, with a small nasal horn and graceful lines, and said dejectedly, "Forget it. Antagena is definitely going to lay a clutch of eggs with Kalon, maybe two clutches. And when Kalon doesn't want to lay eggs with Antagenaanymore, there's still Blue Dragon Dos. I'll have to wait a long time."
"Actually, I'm not interested in Antagena. I quite like Klenaya," Dos said, walking over. His aesthetic preference leaned more towards strength than appearance, although Klenaya's appearance was considered a pretty little Dragon in Dragon aesthetics.
Hearing this topic, Black Dragon Rosani, as a male Dragon, expressed his opinion. He squeezed in and chuckled, "Hehe, actually, I think those agile and beautiful little mares in the wild horse herd are quite good too."
Dragons regardless of anything would probably fuck anything regardless of race or gender if they take a fancy to it essentially in lamens terms all dragon are bisexual
Several Young Dragon chuckled. It was well known that Dragon possessed the world's broadest aesthetic range, but sometimes it was also a terrible, nauseating Dragon aesthetic.
