Chapter 231 Balerion

Gavin lightly clicked on the advanced level, and at that moment, the young dragon suddenly roared, the sound was sharp and loud, as if responding to some unknown force.

It began to struggle violently, trying to break free from Gavin's control. Seeing this, Gavin let go of his hand, and the young dragon flew into the air after being free.

Chiying also noticed the abnormality immediately, and its huge eyes stared at the young dragon, revealing doubts in its eyes. The young dragon kept flying and roaring in the dragon cave, and its figure was like a black lightning, quickly shuttling in the narrow space, bringing a whistling wind.

Suddenly, the young dragon seemed to be driven by some powerful force and rushed towards the boiling magma lake. Gavin didn't even have time to make any blocking moves, and could only watch the young dragon fall straight into the magma lake.

As the young dragon fell straight into the magma lake, something magical happened.

The magma lake that was originally rolling and boiling, as if an invisible big hand pressed the stop button, began to slowly stop rolling and gradually fell into calm. The hot magma bubbles no longer emerged frantically, and the entire magma lake seemed to be tamed in an instant, returning to its former tranquility.

Watching the young dragon disappear in the magma lake, Gavin's heart instantly rose to his throat. He stared at the lake without blinking, revealing a trace of worry in his eyes, after all, the young dragon's resistance to high temperatures was not very high.

He just stood there quietly, and time seemed to become extremely long at this moment, passing by every minute and every second.

However, the young dragon never showed any signs of coming out. Except for the few ripples that arose when the young dragon fell into the lake, there was no other movement.

Gavin couldn't help but frown, and his worries became stronger. If the panel hadn't shown that the young dragon was advancing, Gavin would have worried that something had happened to it.

At the same time, Gavin keenly noticed that the concentration of magic power that was originally filled in the dragon cave began to decrease.

This decline was extremely subtle, like the fine sand in an hourglass, slowly leaking out one by one.

He couldn't help but feel a little confused, wondering whether the decline in magic concentration was related to the young dragon entering the magma lake.

Seeing the magma lake return to calm, Chiying, who was standing by, raised his huge head and let out a low roar. The sound echoed in the dragon cave, conveying to Gavin that he was eager to return to the magma to continue healing.

Gavin walked gently to Chiying, gently stroked its neck, and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Chiying slowly walked towards the magma lake until the hot magma gradually submerged its body, leaving only half of its body still soaking on the lake, like an island standing in the magma lake.

Gavin found a place to sit on the side of the dragon cave, waiting for the young dragon to advance and Chiying to recover. His thoughts gradually turned to the problem that had been bothering him before - the blood strength that could not be improved.

Now, the world has erupted with a tide of magic, magic has begun to return, and the dragon cave environment where he is will not restrict his improvement.

Gavin's eyes were fixed on the part about bloodline improvement on the panel. Before, no matter how hard he tried, the improvement of bloodline always stagnated and could not reach 90%. But now seems to be a rare opportunity.

The next day, until Gavin used up all his energy points, he finally raised the bloodline strength to 95%.

At this time, Gavin was forced to sit back on Belleris's dragon bone. While he was trying hard to absorb the magic power emitted from the dragon bone, he tried to continue to improve the bloodline strength.

However, the speed of magic power absorption was too slow, far less than the speed of consumption, which made him feel very helpless.

Gavin slowly opened the panel and checked the bloodline column:

Bloodline:

Blood Fire Dragonborn (development 95%): Dragon King bloodline, with the ability to control dragons and flames, with flame resistance, and the heart of the dragon.

He found that since the improvement, except for a certain degree of improvement in physical fitness, no new abilities have appeared.

Gavin couldn't help but guess that maybe new abilities would appear only after the bloodline was raised to 100%.

Suddenly, Gavin felt that the dragon bone he was sitting on began to shake violently. He was startled and hurriedly stood up to check the situation. The magma lake also began to fluctuate significantly, the lake water continued to boil and roll, and the hot magma bubbles emerged frantically, making a "gurgling" sound.

Gavin didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly came to the shore and stared at the magma lake. He secretly guessed in his heart that the young dragon should have completed the advancement and was about to come out of the magma.

At this time, the magic power in the dragon cave was less than half of the original.

As Belleris's magic power weakened, its deterrent power to monsters was also declining. Gavin could even clearly hear the roar of the monsters outside. Those monsters had entered the volcano, but because there was still some breath left in the dragon cave, they didn't dare to approach here easily.

Suddenly, the surface of the lava lake seemed to be pressed down by an invisible hand, and the lake suddenly sank.

Then, a black dragon emerged from the lake like a black lightning. It was the young dragon that Gavin had hatched before, and its appearance had changed dramatically. It was more than ten meters in size, which was a world of difference compared to before.

Its scales were as black as ink, and they shone with a mysterious luster in the dim dragon cave, as if they were condensed from the deepest night. Its wing membrane was even more blood red, and the bright color was like burning blood, which was daunting.

After it emerged from the lava lake, it let out a huge roar towards the top of the dragon cave. The sound was like a thunder, echoing in the dragon cave, shaking the surrounding air slightly. Then, a stream of black dragon flames spurted out from its mouth. The black dragon flames were like a roaring black beast, with unparalleled high temperature and powerful force. Wherever it went, it seemed that even the space would be distorted.

Seeing this, Chiying slowly moved his huge body and circled around it. It looked at the black dragon with doubts in its eyes. It could clearly feel that this was the little guy from yesterday, but it didn't expect that the other party would suddenly become so big.

"Come here!" Gavin ordered loudly, and his voice echoed in the dragon cave, covering the roar of the black dragon. This sound startled the black dragon, which was venting its emotions. It immediately stopped spraying dragon flames, and then slowly crouched towards Gavin very obediently.

Although its movements were huge, it seemed very well-behaved.

After the black dragon approached, Gavin gently stroked its dragon kiss with his hand. At that moment, a familiar connection appeared in his mind. This connection was different from the tacit understanding between him and Chiying, but a new and vibrant connection, as if he and the black dragon had a special bond.

Gavin's mouth curled slightly, and he couldn't help but smile with relief. He quickly opened the panel and looked at the status of the black dragon eagerly.

Type: Demon Dragon (Unnamed)

Rank: Intermediate (Advanced)

Abilities:

Black Flame (Extremely high temperature dragon flame, can fuse steel and rock)

Gluttony (Eating can accelerate body growth)

Black Scale (Dragon scale defense is enhanced)

Looking at these abilities on the panel, Gavin couldn't help but sigh at the power of the black dragon after the advancement. Although it does not have the ability of fire bath and possession like Chiying, its enhanced ability is more inclined to combat. Stronger dragon flame, larger body, plus stronger defense, all give it a great advantage in battle.

Gavin speculated that when it reaches the size of a blazing shadow, even a dragon hunting crossbow might not be able to penetrate its scales, and it can continue to advance, so its future potential is limitless.

The black dragon flame reminded Gavin of the Black Death "Bellerion" in the records. The appearance of the black dragon is very similar to the former Black Death Balerion. Whether it is the black scales or the huge body, it seems to be the reincarnation of the Black Death Balerion.

After thinking for a moment, Gavin said with a firm look: "From today on, I will call you 'Bellerion'."

"Hiss"

Bellerion responded to Gavin with a low roar, and it was obvious that it accepted this name. The sound echoed in the dragon cave, as if announcing its new name to the entire dragon cave.

Suddenly, a strange cry came from a cave. The sound was sharp and piercing, and it kept echoing in the cave, making people feel nervous.

Those monsters came in! Before Gavin could react, Blazing Shadow and Balerion responded with roars.

Blazing Shadow's roar was deep and powerful, like thunder from the depths of the earth, with an irresistible majesty; Balerion's roar was more immature, but full of wildness and fighting spirit, like a fledgling but fearless little beast.

Then, a monster slowly crawled out of the shadow of the cave and entered the dragon's lair. This monster was the same as the one that attacked Blazing Shadow before, but it was less than half the size of Blazing Shadow, but it still looked very fierce.

As soon as it entered the dragon's lair, it pounced on Blazing Shadow without hesitation, obviously taking the injured Blazing Shadow as its primary target of attack. It crawled very fast, raising a cloud of dust on the ground.

Blazing Shadow saw this and was about to spit out dragon flames, but saw Balerion pounce on it like a black lightning.

It regarded this monster, which was twice its size, as its prey. After all, it had not eaten anything since it hatched yesterday, and it was extremely hungry at the moment.

Balerion's movements were swift and decisive. It opened its huge mouth and bit the monster's neck. Its sharp teeth were deeply embedded in the monster's flesh. Its teeth were like black steel needles, tightly locking the monster's vital parts, making it unable to break free.

The monster roared in pain, and the sound echoed in the dragon's lair, which was creepy. It struggled desperately, trying to get rid of Balerion's control.

Waving its claws, it grabbed Balerion's body. The claws drew cold light in the air, and with powerful force, it scratched several blood marks on Balerion's black scales.

Although these blood marks did not cause substantial damage to Balerion, they also showed the monster's ferocity.

Balerion was not afraid at all. He shook his head vigorously and threw the monster, which was twice his size, out fiercely.

The monster fell heavily to the ground. The moment it landed, the ground trembled slightly and raised a cloud of dust. Before it could stand up, Balerion pounced on it again. His claws grabbed the monster's back fiercely and crushed the monster's scales.

Its claws were like sharp blades, easily penetrating the monster's scales and piercing into the monster's flesh. The monster roared in pain again. Its body trembled constantly under Balerion's attack. Blood flowed from the wound and formed a small pool of blood on the ground.

At this time, Gavin saw that Balerion was brave, but he was still young after all and might be injured.

"Chiying, go help." He immediately ordered Chiying to help.

After receiving the order, Chiying quickly moved to the side of the monster. It opened its bloody mouth and a stream of hot dragon flames gushed out. The dragon flame swept towards the monster like a roaring beast. The temperature of the flame was extremely high, and the air was distorted wherever it went. The monster was instantly wrapped in the dragon flame, and its body was quickly burned in the high-temperature flame, making a shrill scream. Its body kept moving in the flames, trying to escape from the terrible flames. But the coverage of the dragon flame was too wide, and it could not get rid of the shackles of the flames, and could only suffer in the flames.

Belerion took the opportunity to launch another attack. It bit the monster's abdomen and tore it hard. Its teeth bit the monster's flesh tightly and pulled it hard to both sides. The monster's abdomen was torn open by Balerion, and the internal organs and blood flowed out of the wound. Under the joint attack of Chiying and Balerion, the monster soon lost its ability to resist and fell to the ground and stopped moving.

Balerion immediately tore off the monster's flesh and began to feast on it. It ate with relish, with a satisfied light flashing in its eyes, and was completely immersed in the joy of eating.

Gavin felt the magic power around him, and the power was still slowly decreasing, like sand in an hourglass, flowing unstoppably. He knew in his heart that he might not stay in the dragon cave for long. Moreover, he did not bring much food with him. If he continued to stay here, he would not only face the danger of running out of magic power, but also the dilemma of hunger.

Chiying seemed to feel Gavin's intention to leave. It slowly crouched towards Gavin, its huge body lying on the ground, motioning Gavin to go up. Gavin walked over, gently hugged Chiying's dragon kiss, closed his eyes, and felt its state with his heart. He found that although Chiying's injuries had not recovered much, the magic power in his body had recovered a lot, and he could barely take a bath in fire. Gavin's heart immediately settled down. He knew that as long as Chiying could take a bath in fire, all injuries could be recovered in an instant.

He immediately ordered Chiying to bathe in fire without hesitation. After a while, Chiying finished bathing in fire, and the broken scales and wounds on its abdomen disappeared. Its breathing became steady and powerful, but it seemed to be a little exhausted, so it could not bathe in fire again for a short time.
