Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1211 - 543: Journey to the Origin Dragon God Palace, Dragon Son Chi Wen
[Your sudden arrival has attracted the attention of the deformed monsters, their eyes brimming with malice as they burst into heinous, frenzied howls and pounce toward you like voracious beasts!]
[The leading monster is exceptionally large, its howling resonating through the giant corridor...]
[Vicious figures emerge from the ’Dragon Vein River,’ half of the deformed monsters’ bodies surfacing, the blood-red water from the river smearing their torsos and dripping down as if blood-soaked evil spirits climbed out of hell.]
[By now, several dozen monsters have already sprinted to your front, howling, with a thick stench of blood assaulting your nostrils and their sharp claws and teeth flashing cold light!]
[Facing the onslaught of numerous monsters, you take a deep breath and then let out a sky-shaking dragon roar!]
[The corridor trembles slightly because of this earth-shattering dragon might, the water in the ’Dragon Vein River’ starting to ripple, quickly followed by surging waves!]
[The pressure from a member of the Superior Dragon Race is fully unleashed, and the immense oppressiveness from within the bloodline causes the monsters to instinctually halt in their tracks, prostrate themselves on the ground, shivering and not daring to move!]
[You gaze towards the Dragon Vein River, a stern pressure pouring forth with your sight, causing the crowding monsters trying to clamber ashore to stop their movement, avoiding your gaze and shrinking back, screeching as they dip below the water surface.]
[Before long, the Dragon Vein River returns to calm, with no monsters in sight at a glance, only the several dozen monsters still trembling in front of you.]
[The leading monster is particularly massive, seemingly the chief leader among the monsters.]
[You let out a series of low roars, attempting to communicate with the monster in front of you, only to find that these monsters, like wild beasts, are completely dominated by instinct and malice, utterly unable to hold a conversation.]
[Though they are each prostrated on the ground, shivering, they still lower their heads with fierce expressions, baring their teeth and snarling.]
[If you were to switch to another shell, lacking the innate fear from deep within your bloodline, they would recklessly attack you, regardless of whether you are stronger than them.]
[You raise the Dragon Spear in your hand and thrust it into the back of the monster, piercing through its heart; amidst its agonized and pitiful howls, you pin it firmly to the ground.]
[With the death of the leading monster, numerous ’Deformed Dragon Offspring’ howl and scatter in all directions...] 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
[You have defeated the ’Extreme Evil Deformed Dragon Offspring Leader’, your experience points slightly increasing!]
[You have obtained ’Small Dragon Blood Crystal’ (Material)!]
[’Small Dragon Blood Crystal’ (Material): A bizarre crystal containing an extremely small part of the Dragon Clan’s bloodline—a certain probability to extract this upon the death of a leader-level contaminated life-form.]
[You look towards the fallen monster corpses...]
[The shell of the ’Extreme Evil Deformed Dragon Offspring Leader’: The Origin Dragon Palace was contaminated by an unknown invasion, and the polluted ’Dragon Blood’ pumped from the Dragon Heart Shrine has tainted the entire Origin Dragon God Palace along the Dragon Vein River. Countless deformed monsters bred from the river, infesting every corner of the Divine Palace.]
[Deformed Dragon Offsprings are the weakest among the various monsters, which is inextricably linked to their dwelling at the furthest dragon tail segment of the scale vein corridor. Compatibility: +∞]
[Do you wish to possess this shell?]
"Dragon Heart Shrine... contaminated Dragon Vein River."
Lin Xun, lost in thought, opens his inventory to check his recent spoils of war.
The Dragon Blood Crystal contains the Dragon Clan’s bloodline, but his current Little Dragon shell is of extraordinarily high quality, and his bloodline skills are outrageously advanced; absorbing these inferior dragon bloodlines wouldn’t enhance his quality.
Moreover, the bloodline contained within the Dragon Blood Crystal is tainted, and absorbing it as a Little Dragon might lead to some terrible complications.
He opens the shell panel and assesses the monster’s strength.
[You have taken possession of the ’Extreme Evil Deformed Dragon Offspring Leader’s shell!]
[All memory within the shell has been ripped to shreds by the surging malice, and you cannot retrieve any valuable information from this shell.]
[Shell——’Extreme Evil Deformed Dragon Offspring Leader’]
[True Name: Claw and Fang]
[Compatibility: +∞, compatibility surpasses the critical point, shell quality increased!]
[Shell quality: Mythical Level]
[Shell level: 155]
[Shell equipment: None]
[Shell skills: Extreme Evil Dragon Claw (Legendary+ Level) et cetera...]
[Shell skill: Call of the Origin Dragon (Special Skill): Lifeforms born from the polluted Dragon Vein River are all influenced by this skill. The closeness of the shell’s habitat to the ’Dragon Heart Shrine’ and the ’Dragon Head Summit’ correlates with an increased overall strength!]
[Current overall strength amplification: 50%]
"Holy crap... Such a sick skill?"
The special skill known as ’Call of the Origin Dragon’ is entirely different from the diluted boost of sacred objects with water mixed into alcohol.
Sacred Artifact Amplification is ’shell amplification,’ its degree of boost distributed across nearly twenty attributes of the shell, so the actual extent of enhancement isn’t as exaggerated as it appears.
And the amplification of sacred objects mainly reflects in the soul strength used for revival, with a certain enhancement to control over authority; however, the supplementary enhancement is not significant.
The ’Call of the Origin Dragon’ in front of him boosts overall strength—it’s a direct amplification of combat power, not watered-down across attributes, which is downright twisted.
Furthermore, the skill description clearly indicates that the closer a shell’s dwelling is to the ’Dragon Heart Shrine’ and the ’Dragon Head Summit,’ the greater the increase in overall strength obtained.
If the ’Extreme Evil Deformed Dragon Offspring Leader’ at the very entrance of the Origin Dragon God Palace already receives an empowerment of 50% to its strength, how fearsome would the power boost be for monsters closer to those two locations?
