Ashen Dragon-Chapter 481 - 402

Chapter 481: 402

Indeed, when collaborating with other creatures, they chose allies from the Elemental Plane and otherworldly beings, occasionally younger dragons of their own kind.

“Is this the advanced version of Elemental Warlock dragon…”

Cassius stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then made his decision.

Free occupational levels, why not take them!

Moreover, he had already mastered a portion of elemental pseudogod power. If becoming an Elemental Master for ordinary dragons posed risks of unstable energy and bodily explosions, for Cassius, it would be a natural progression.

[You chose to advance to an [Elemental Master].]

[The [Fire Giant Pasha Essence] you devoured brought you a large amount of exclusive experience for Elemental Master, raising your [Elemental Master] level to 4.]

Now, Cassius’s occupational panel displayed three different occupations.

Magician 16/Elemental Master 4/Bloodscale Frenzy 3

Among players of his previous life, this was absolutely unique. Only a particular joker had once leveled up four different occupations to level one, but thereafter, he could no longer advance—balancing occupations required a price, as it meant dispersed strength.

But for Cassius, this wasn’t an issue—because his other two occupations were “given for free.”

“Well then, a Multi-Class User, huh.”

Cassius exhaled a puff of sulfur-scented white smoke, unable to refrain from a bit of self-mockery.

Perhaps he should seize the opportunity to collect all dragon-related occupational inheritances?

The information on the panel continued to update.

[Your Elemental Master level has increased to 1]

[You have gained special abilities: [Elemental Familiarity] [Energy Attunement]]

Elemental Familiarity: Elemental Masters gain additional attunement with the elemental type corresponding to their subspecies.

As a dragon with a fire subspecies (including Red Dragons, Gold Dragons, Brass Dragons, and Hellfire Wyverns), they gain Fire Familiarity: If both the dragon and its enemies come into contact with flames or use items or spells with the Blaze or Flame Burst special abilities, the dragon gains significant control over them.

Energy Attunement: Elemental Masters attune with the energy type that drives their breath weapon.

Dragons with various energy breath weapons can choose an energy type—from acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic—to attune with, causing the dragon to enter an “elemental control” state, enhancing their breath control.

“These are all ways to enhance energy output, just extra benefits for me.”

“However… Free occupational levels, why not take them.”

Cassius opened his mouth and breathed out a tiny flame, controlling it to dance in mid-air like a thread, forming various patterns, with firelight flickering across his entire body.

This was the effect of [Energy Attunement], allowing the dragon to achieve an incredible level of breath control.

Additionally, as a Red Dragon with equipment like the [Eye of the Storm King] and [Eternal Frost Horn], Cassius had a decent understanding of lightning and frost energies, even capable of breathing out lightning breath and attuning to lightning energy.

Cassius’s eyes shimmered, alternating between lightning, frost, and flames in his breath.

The panel information continued to refresh.

[Your Elemental Master level has increased to 2, you have gained special abilities: [Energy Substitution] [Summon Elemental]]

Energy Substitution: Elemental Masters gain the ability to modify their spells with energy descriptors to use the dragon’s attuned energy instead.

The spells being altered operate normally in all aspects except for the damage type they deal.

Summon Elemental: Beginning at level 2, once per day, Elemental Masters can use their breath weapon to summon a medium elemental corresponding to their elemental subspecies. The dragon breathes as usual, but an elemental appears afterward.

If the dragon chooses, it can instead summon an adult Arrow Hawk (air or cold), a commoner Fire Lizard (fire), an adult Crush Turtle (water), or a commoner Stone Golem (earth).

Energy Substitution, a truly intriguing ability.

Cassius unleashed a [Witchcraft Arrow] imbued with lightning energy and promptly activated [Energy Substitution].

In an instant, the lightning chain suddenly transformed into a flaming chain, igniting the rocks into charred blackness.

This was the essence of energy substitution, altering the same spell into different energy manifestations, rendering it unpredictable to the enemy.

As for [Summon Elemental], it was just a free summoning spell of little use to Cassius.

Whenever he wished, he could even use a “God-Praying Candle” obtained from negotiating with the Great Sultan to summon a noble Fire Giant capable of granting wishes.

It’s said that those Fire Giant nobility were terrified of fulfilling wishes for the Ashen Empire, fearing bad luck might lead them to be chosen, but didn’t dare refuse.

After all, the fearsome reputation of the “Soul Devouring Dragon” was not baseless but built upon the lives of hundreds of Fire Giant civilians, two Emirs, and a Pasha.

[Your Elemental Master level has increased to 4, you have gained special abilities: [Energy Focus] [Energy Burst]]

Energy Focus: Elemental Masters study a specific elemental energy to profound depths, granting their breath unprecedented power.

Energy Burst: Elemental Masters resonate with the elements in the environment, creating a harmful energy burst around themselves.

“Looks like this is the main event.”

Cassius squinted his eyes, white steam puffing out from his nostrils.

He felt some explosive power surging into his body, filling every inch of his blood vessels like potential elemental bombs.

The previous [Elemental Master] traits were considered powerful to players and ordinary dragons but somewhat underwhelming for Cassius.

However, the current [Energy Focus] and [Energy Burst] were genuinely formidable abilities for the Red Dragon.

[Flame Dimension Door]

The Red Dragon tore through space, leaving the suburbs of Northwind Castle, arriving directly at the Kalka Great Glacier in the northernmost part of Anzeta.

The bitter wind howled, the biting cold cut deep, and the ice peaks reflected dazzling rays under the sunlight.

This was once the residence of the “Everfrost” tribe, but the Frost Giants who had lived here for nearly ten thousand years were exterminated by the Red Dragon. Their heritage was entirely looted, and the remaining tribespeople became the empire’s slaves.

In the ice cave, decayed bone rods and torn animal hides still lay, perhaps remnants of the Frost Giants’ last traces of life.

Of course, the shattered glaciers, collapsed ice peaks, and fragmented ice fields also bore witness to that earth-shattering battle, though mostly buried under snow.

“The Battle of Glacier’s Demise.”

“So, it’s been six years…”

Cassius gazed at the war ruins, appearing somewhat pensive.

Six years, merely a nap’s time for ordinary giant dragons, but a span filled with many experiences for him.

“Boom!”

In the distance, a massive, serpent-like creature burst from the ice, devouring an icefield yak in a single gulp.

With the Frost Giants no longer tending the land, and the empire ignoring this harsh region, hundred-legged beasts became the most terrifying predators here—unless players took on an icefield hunt quest.

Cassius observed the ice cave created by the hundred-legged beast and murmured,

“Let me test… the new abilities of this Elemental Master.”

The Red Dragon effortlessly climbed to the top of the Great Glacier, spread his vast wings, and slightly parted his jaws.

[Energy Attunement]

The enormous dragon’s body shimmered with the aurora of flames, causing the surrounding air to twist with heat, making this cold polar region its hottest center.

The snow melted, the glacier liquefied.

The glow on the Red Dragon intensified, as if he fused with the surrounding fire elements, making all the snowfields and glaciers reflect dazzlingly, plunging the world into silence.

Then, even more scorching firelight suddenly erupted, engulfing everything around.

“Boom!”

[Energy Burst]

The glacier instantly sublimated, shattered ice peaks collapsed, and the thick snow on the ground turned into scalding water.

Steam, scalding white steam, spread wildly, covering everything within a ten-mile radius.

When the smoke cleared, the Red Dragon hovered high in the air. No glaciers or snowy fields remained where he had been, only a vast water pit nearly a hundred meters in diameter, with the water still boiling inside.

“Now that’s an explosion…”

Cassius looked at the devastated Kalka Great Glacier, grinning, baring his sharp teeth in a satisfied smile.

The power was just about what he expected.
