The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1141: Another Fusion! (2)

Blood and flesh flew again and again.

Dragon shadows shattered repeatedly.

Hundreds of attempts, yet no change.

Sigh!

Jason took a deep breath.

The unique traits of the [Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Technique] and the current level and properties of [War Rune: Pruce Griffin Shadow Stealth Body Refinement Technique] made Jason realize this would be a grueling process.

But Jason had not expected it to be this difficult.

A hundred attempts!

And not a single shred of change!

Yet, Jason remained unwavering.

If a hundred attempts fail,

Then two hundred!

If two hundred don’t succeed,

Then three hundred!

Jason’s diamond-like will was not only his thinking—it was his action.

For the next hour, Jason drifted entirely between life and death.

At first, he kept count of his deaths.

Later, he stopped paying attention.

He immersed himself wholly in the fusion of [Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Technique] and [War Rune: Pruce Griffin Shadow Stealth Body Refinement Technique].

Boom!

Yet another explosion of the body.

Yet another death.

But this time, something was different.

As Jason resurrected, he saw that field again—

Under moonlight, the griffin galloped across the expanse.

Its speed grew faster and faster.

When it spread its wings, it soared into the sky.

Breaking through the moonlight’s veil, it entered the radiance of the sun.

The griffin instantly landed, transforming into a running giant.

Bathed in sunlight, the giant sprinted furiously, each step mobilizing all the muscles in its body, each step synchronized with the rhythm of breathing with the sun.

Step, inhale.

Step, exhale.

With the cycle of breathing, the giant’s running speed accelerated even more.

When the speed reached its peak,

The being launched into a sprint.

Buzz!

It felt like breaking through an invisible barrier as the giant surged back into the moonlight.

Once more, it transformed back into...

The dark golden griffin.

This majestic griffin seemed slightly puzzled, lowering its head to inspect itself, then instinctively spreading its wings to soar high into the sky.

Like before.

When its speed reached extreme heights, the dark golden griffin changed back into the giant.

Much like the griffin, the giant displayed a distinct pause.

It too lowered its head, examining its own body.

But appeared to discover nothing.

Afterward, it resumed its running—

Each transformation was a change.

Each shift marked the passing of day and night.

Daylight, nighttime alternated.

Giant, griffin transformed.

At first, there was still some stiffness in the process.

Eventually, everything flowed as effortlessly as water.

And the dark golden griffin and radiant giant grew larger and faster.

Sigh!

The dark golden griffin spread its wings, summoning a rolling gale.

With a wingspan of 50 meters, it appeared even more imposing and robust.

The changes of the radiant giant were even more noticeable.

Its original 50-meter frame began to swell as though inflated.

60, 70, 80...

It only stopped when it reached 100 meters.

It felt its transformation, flexing its enormous body.

And came to a pause again.

This time, however, it didn’t lower its head to observe itself. Instead, it raised its eyes skyward.

As the giant morphed back into the griffin, the dark golden griffin followed suit.

It too stared upwards.

Jason’s vision was involuntarily drawn to the sky.

He raised his head, staring at the heavens.

What could be there?

There were sunlight and moonlight.

There was... breathing?

Breathing?!

Jason froze.

Instinctively, he focused even more intently on that point.

Then, his eyes widened with disbelief.

He saw an ethereal shadow.

Though intangible, it seemed boundless.

Only the sound of rhythmic breathing accompanied it. free𝑤ebnovel.com

And its opening and closing eyes.

When its eyes opened, heavenly light erupted.

When its eyes closed, darkness engulfed everything.

That was...

A dragon!

A Divine Dragon occupying the skies.

It gazed down upon all existence.

And it locked eyes with Jason...

Boom!

A deafening explosion roared in Jason’s mind.

Jason’s consciousness went blank.

By the time he recovered his senses, he was already sitting in his room.

Before his eyes, text flowed out like a waterfall—

That memory has enhanced it, and as you continue to strengthen yourself, it has grown even more powerful. At dawn, you can charge for 3 seconds to produce a 40-meter-long Chen Xi Sword for a ’strong-level’ slash, which consumes significant physical stamina; upon completing a 2-second charge in stationary state, the sword length increases by an extra 10 meters.]

[Dragon: Through the extraordinary fusion resonance between mysterious secret techniques and peculiar souls, you can activate this state by charging for 30 seconds, yet each second subjects you to the ordeal of death.]

...

Jason stared at the text before him.

An all-encompassing enhancement.

Everything had undergone changes.

Especially the final trait!

He muttered under his breath—

"Dragon!"
