Rise of the Primordial Dragon beast tamer-Chapter 54: The Authority of Chaos.

The void around Azvoid shattered like glass, the Trial of Will and Dominion fading as reality reasserted itself. He found himself once again standing in the shadowed expanse of his mental space, the familiar pressure of Noctis's presence wrapping around him like a coiled storm.

Noctis's voice broke the silence, his tone unreadable.

"You... actually passed the trial."

Azvoid shot him a lopsided grin, his breathing still ragged. "What? You sound like you were expecting me to fail."

"Hardly. It's just... most who undertake the Trial of Will and Dominion do not come back the same. Either they shatter under the pressure, or their minds twist into something unrecognizable. You remain intact—well, mostly."

Azvoid's grin twisted. "Mostly? What's that supposed to mean?"

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Noctis's gaze remained fixed on him, the dragon's obsidian eyes unreadable. "Your bloodline has evolved. But such a process is never without consequence. The power you've gained comes with... responsibilities."

A sharp pain throbbed through Azvoid's chest. He doubled over, his vision blurring as a torrent of energy roared through his veins like liquid fire.

"What the hell...?"

Noctis's voice cut through his agony, calm but firm.

"Your bloodline has been refined. You have gained the Authority of Chaos. It is both a blessing and a curse. To control the power of chaos means to be ever vigilant. For chaos itself is untamable, but it respects strength and command."

System notifications flashed before his eyes, blindingly vivid.

[Congratulations! You have successfully completed the Trial of Will and Dominion!]

[Your Bloodline has been refined and enhanced!]

[New Ability Unlocked: Authority of Chaos – Your command over chaotic forces has reached a new level. You can now exert dominion over creatures of chaos or influence chaotic energies within your vicinity.]

[Wielder of Chaos Talent Evolved!]

[New Passive Effect Unlocked: Unyielding Command – Your presence exerts a subtle aura of dominance, weakening enemies of chaotic nature and enhancing your own abilities when faced with overwhelming odds.]

Azvoid's vision cleared, and his breathing steadied. He glanced down at his hands, flexing his fingers. He could feel it—the raw, unbridled power coiling within him. The Authority of Chaos.

"That... was worth the pain." Azvoid chuckled, his voice hoarse but triumphant.

Noctis's gaze remained calculating. "And yet, you remain as reckless as ever. This power is not a mere toy to be flaunted. Control must be absolute. For even the smallest slip could unravel everything."

Azvoid scoffed. "Yeah, yeah. I get it. But admit it, you didn't think I'd make it this far, did you?"

A low rumble echoed from Noctis, somewhere between amusement and exasperation. "Confidence will only carry you so far, Azvoid. But... I will admit, you continue to surprise me."

Azvoid crossed his arms, his grin smug. "That's what I do best. Now, tell me—what exactly can I do with this Authority of Chaos?"

Noctis's eyes glowed with a darkened brilliance. "The Authority of Chaos grants you dominion over chaos itself. That includes creatures born from chaotic energy, such as the Tenebrous Hounds you faced before. With this power, you can command them, force them into submission, or even turn their own attacks against them."

Azvoid's eyes widened. "So, I can turn my enemies into allies?"

"If your will is strong enough to subjugate them, yes."

A wicked grin spread across Azvoid's face. "Now that sounds fun."

Noctis sighed, the sound heavy with both frustration and reluctant approval. "There is more. The passive effect, Unyielding Command, is your bloodline's way of enforcing dominance. It will not always be noticeable, but creatures aligned with chaos will feel it, their resolve eroded simply by your presence."

Azvoid's expression shifted to something far more serious. "So, if I run into something like Zephiron..."

"It will grant you a minor advantage, but make no mistake, Azvoid. Zephiron's strength is far beyond what you currently possess. The Authority of Chaos is a tool, not a guarantee of victory."

Azvoid's fist clenched, the thrill of his newfound power tempered by the cold reality of Noctis's words. "Then I'll just keep getting stronger. This Authority of Chaos is only the beginning."

Noctis's gaze flickered with approval. "A sensible outlook, for once. Your bloodline has evolved, but it must be tempered through battle. Only then will its true potential be realized."

Azvoid's grin returned, fiercer than ever. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's put this power to the test."

Noctis's grin mirrored his own. "Very well. Prepare yourself, Azvoid.....
