Evil dragon has a warm heart
Chapter 366 - 366 365 Mark of the Thunder Lord

Chapter 366: Chapter 365: Mark of the Thunder Lord Chapter 366: Chapter 365: Mark of the Thunder Lord Feeling that Russell was in danger, Black Oil Dragon Rossay rushed to the battlefield at once, but the battle was already over.

The Snow Giant Da’s attempt to assassinate Russell had failed, and he had already fled.

Centered on the battlefield, the power from Russell and Unicorn Polly’s promotion to Dragon Domain Lords transformed into countless thunders, sweeping around. Much like how the Bipedal Flying Dragon carved out a Warm Enclave, the Pseudo-Dragon’s power could also create a warm haven.

The melted snow water surged upon the earth, turning the entire ground into an expanse of water.

“Rossay, you’ve come.” Russell hovered over the watery expanse, looking at the hurriedly arriving Black Oil Dragon with great relief in his heart.

Even sensing the presence of Snow Giant Da, Rossay flew here disregarding all else.

If it were Ros the Clay Dragon, he most likely would have fled at the earliest opportunity.

“Father, are you alright?” Rossay’s eyes anxiously scanned his surroundings, but the immense threat that he had felt earlier had completely vanished, and the familiar power of the Shadowflame Dragon was also totally gone, “What happened here?”

It saw the snowfield turned into a watery expanse, which it found hard to understand.

Russell smiled faintly, “To observe things, one must grasp the essentials, Rossay. Take a good look at your father. What do you think of my new form?”

Only then did Rossay take note of Russell’s appearance.

Originally, Russell was a normal human around one meter eighty, but now, his size had swelled to about three meters, draped in an energy battle-garb flickering with thunder, holding a three-meter-long Thunder Greatsword in his hands.

His entire being radiated an inviolable majesty, like the Master of Thunder reigning from the heavens above.

Of course.

One would have to overlook his holding the Pseudo-Harpy Dragon Hape in one arm, the half-singed feathered Hape, whose appearance was somewhat embarrassing.

“Father, you…” Rossay was stunned.

“Your father has been promoted to Dragon Domain Lord. This is my merged form with Polly, the battle stance of a Dragon Domain Lord!” Russell laughed heartily, pointing with his Thunder Greatsword to the water below his feet, “Here, another Warm Enclave unique to me will be born!”

“Father is so mighty!” Rossay, influenced by humans, had already learned to flatter.

This only made Russell laugh even more unrestrainedly.

The previous fear of death, the terror from the assassination attempt, and the regret of a potential fall–all the heavy pressure had dissipated, leaving only the thrilling elation of being a Dragon Domain Lord.

Feeling the mixed yet potent forces within his body, Russell couldn’t help but look up and let out a long howl that made the clouds above tremble in fear.

It was as if imbued with the might of thunder, reaching for the skies.

After his howl, he finally calmed down and said with a smile, “Having survived this calamity, I have finally become Shadowflame Duchy’s most powerful, even surpassing my grandfather, the Fourth-layer higher Phantom Beast Knight, who must now bow before me!”

Earl Merlin was a Flying Dragon Knight and a Fourth-layer higher Phantom Beast Knight whose strength firmly placed him at the top of the Shadowflame Duchy.

But now, Russell, not only a Flying Dragon Knight but also a Dragon Domain Lord, had a power that no one could match.

“I can now rightfully be called… the foremost beneath the Dragon Knights!” Russell gripped the Thunder Greatsword in his hand tightly.

Polly’s voice inside his soul was equally joyful, “After ascending to a Dragon Domain Lord, you and I can transcend time and space, merging any time and anywhere. We no longer need to fear sneak attacks from Snow Giant Da; no one can kill us now!”

“Yes… a blessing in disguise,” Russell mused.

Then he responded in his soul, “Polly, let’s disengage the battle form. I want to see the changes in you after your rebirth!”

In the past, Polly was a Phantom Beast Pseudo-Dragon Successor—a Pseudo-Unicorn Dragon.

Todays Polly was a true Pseudo-Dragon—a Unicorn.

“Alrighty.” Polly replied.

In the next moment, Russell’s Thunder Coat, Thunder Greatsword, all dissolved into lightning that stripped away from his body, and the lightning then sketched out in midair the perfect figure of a warhorse.

Thunder filled the white body, and quickly extended into a pair of huge wings. Furthermore, a bolt of lightning pierced towards the sky, and then descended from the heavens, landing upon the stallion’s head, transforming into a golden unicorn horn.

“Rush!”

As the thunder faded, Polly made her debut in a brand-new form.

Overall, there wasn’t a significant difference from her previous appearance, but her size had increased slightly, and the silver spiral unicorn horn on her head had become a golden thunder-patterned horn, increasing in length from half a meter to a full meter.

The most significant change was the growth of a pair of wings at the shoulder blades of her forelimbs.

When folded, these wings resembled docile fur, clinging to Polly’s shoulders and belly. When spread, they transformed into giant wings with a seven to eight-meter wingspan, with countless tiny bolts of lightning coursing through the feathers.

The golden thunder-patterned unicorn horn also occasionally had lightning flickering across it.

“Cool!”

Russell clicked his tongue in amazement. After Polly’s ascension to Pseudo-Dragon status, not only did her aesthetic appeal not decline, it reached new heights of style.

Moreover, she had mastered a brand-new power—thunder!

Now, with the Power of Thunder, Polly was every bit as strong as any Bipedal Flying Dragon in terms of strength.

On the level of power, Polly’s Pseudo-Dragon Primordial Breath was infinitely close to Dragon Breath.

However, there were too few records about the Dragon Domain Lord, and the Shadowflame Grand Duchy had never given birth to a Dragon Domain Lord, nor discovered a Pseudo-Dragon, so they did not know how to address, describe, or define this new form of Pseudo-Dragon Primordial Breath.

Russell closed his eyes, deeply experiencing this power.

He and Polly were contract partners, so Polly’s Pseudo-Dragon Primordial Breath equally surged endlessly within his body.

“My power is somewhat heterogeneous!”

His original power was based on the Second Turn Primordial Breath, coated with Dragon Breath.

Now, Dragon Breath still enveloped the Primordial Breath—and as the Primordial Breath grew stronger, so did the Dragon Breath—but the Second Turn Primordial Breath had undergone a drastic change, with the Pseudo-Dragon Primordial Breath taking a dominant position, and Hape’s Primordial Breath barely visible.

“Fortunately, the structure of my power hasn’t changed; Pseudo-Dragon Primordial Breath, after all, isn’t true Dragon Breath and won’t resist being overlaid by it.”

That’s also the reason the Pseudo-Dragon is prefixed with ‘pseudo’; the power of a Pseudo-Dragon’s Primordial Breath can almost match Dragon Breath, but it can never surpass the power of Dragon Breath—the Pseudo-Dragon Primordial Breath lacks the inclusiveness of Dragon Breath.

In terms of power radiation, this gap could be felt as well.

Like Dragons, Pseudo-Dragons could also create a Warm Enclave, but they could not give rise to any minerals—this might be because Bipedal Dragons could borrow the power of great dragons, while Pseudo-Dragons, being independent entities, could not draw upon the power of great dragons.

Only the power of a great dragon can create all magical constructs.

“Polly, now that both you and I possess the Power of Thunder, we are the Master of Thunder!” Russell, having thoroughly experienced the new power, proudly declared, “Come on, let’s feel the new speed of the Master of Thunder!”

With the Power of Thunder continuously flowing within his body, Russell could already imagine the level of speed he and Polly would achieve once this power erupted.

He had been thinking about developing Sword Control Technique before, but now it seemed completely unnecessary.

“Russell.” Polly suddenly laughed in their mental connection, “Don’t you feel a bit breezy with what you’re saying now?”

“What do you mean?” Russell was puzzled.

“Hehe.” Polly laughed without speaking.

Russell glanced again at Black Oil Dragon Rossay, who also looked curiously at him, not feeling anything out of the ordinary.

At that moment, a gust of wind blew, and Russell suddenly lowered his head.

He saw that he was completely naked, his member lightly swaying to the touch of the wind; his clothes had long since vanished into ash during the battle.
