However, the promotion in level was only the least commendable gain from his trip to the fire elemental plane.
Even if the red dragon doesn't kill those giant spirits, the experience provided by the players is enough for him to be promoted within half a year. This is just a matter of course.
And his biggest gain from this trip was to swallow the divine elemental power in Ismail's body.
According to Cassius's guess, this was originally a material prepared by the Fire Djinn Sultan for his own godhood, but he accidentally "enjoyed" it in advance.
Becoming a god is a lofty and universal goal.
This kind of thing is not uncommon among Erezgei's evil-leaning forces.
For example, the ruler of the Githyanki in the Astral Plane, the powerful lich Vlaakith 157, eats the power and souls of high-ranking Githyanki and uses them as material for wish spells. , in order to pursue the goal of becoming a god.
Most Githyanki above centurions have their souls drained, leaving only hulks that obey Vlaakith's orders.
In comparison, the Great Sultan of the Fire Djinn, who only trained six loyal and direct servants as materials, can already be regarded as a "benevolent master".
Although this is only one of the six powers, it is also the result of thousands of years of careful cultivation by the Great Sultan of the Fire Djinn. The power contained in it is far beyond Cassius's expectation.
If it weren't for the uprising of the Holy Flame Prince, the Great Sultan would definitely come in his true form and fight to the death with him.
He also understood why the great sultan was so angry that he almost lost his mind.
More than a month has passed since Cassius returned from the fire elemental plane, and the power is still surging in his belly and has not been fully digested.
It was a strange feeling, as if there was a fire djinn noble wailing and roaring in his belly, resisting the transformation of the red dragon.
It's a pity that the body of the ancestor dragon also has a very high essence, which tightly imprisons that power within it, and any struggle and resistance will be useless. ”
"Divinity-like power..."
"Tsk, tsk, it's like having your own consciousness."
Along with the sound of "呲呲", the last bit of fire giant spirit was also absorbed by the terrifying magical digestion energy of the ancestor dragon.
The red energy just poured into the red dragon's body, returned to his atrium through the basal blood vessels, and was then pumped throughout the body by the powerful heart.
From the heart to the neck, head, forelimbs, wing hands, hind limbs and even the tip of the tail.
"Roar——"
The red dragon couldn't help but raise its head and roar to the sky.
Along with his roar, flaming meteors fell from the sky, and a huge fire storm formed on the ground.
Once these spells are cast, it will definitely cause a scene of devastation, but Cassius will not allow such a thing to happen.
"Fire, obey my command"
"Stop."
But Cassius just groaned, and the explosive and surging flames obeyed the orders like docile sheep and all dissipated.
This is the power of [authority].
As the inner plane that makes up the world, the fire elemental plane is almost the original source, final destination and essence of all flames, and the elemental nobles are the holders of this authority. This power can not only be used in the fire elemental plane, It can also go one step further and control the flames of the material plane.
You must know that the elemental lord who really controls the fire elemental plane - the Lord of Flame and the Eternal Fire Kasu Si is a god with powerful divine power.
Cassius's pale golden vertical pupils were burning with red flames, and the raging tongues of fire enveloped his head.
[You have completely digested an elemental divine power. ]
[Because you have mastered the power of the elements and realized the natural force of the universe, you have gained a new career path - [Element Master]]
[To qualify as an Elemental Master, a dragon must meet all of the following conditions. ]
Race: Any true dragon.
Feats: Any three superbreath feats.
Spells: Able to cast arcane spells.
Special: Elemental Attunement: The dragon must have an elemental or energy subtype, such as wind, cold, earth, electricity, fire, or water.
Breath Weapon: The dragon must have a breath weapon that deals energy damage.
[You have met all the conditions, do you choose to advance to [Elemental Master]? ]
"New advanced profession..."
"Master of the Elements."
Kexiston's eyes lit up. He really didn't expect that after digesting the power of the efreeti, there would be unexpected surprises.
This was also a famous dragon profession in the previous life. There was an ocean dragon in the Silver Moon Bay area that controlled the water element. It could summon terrifying giant waves and whirlpools, like the master of the Western Sea.
This ocean dragon will kill the players who want to complete the side quest of the Naga Kingdom, leaving bloated floating corpses floating everywhere on the sea.
Cassius continued to browse the information on Panel Mountain to deepen his understanding of this profession.
【ELEMENTALMASTER】
Dragons are creatures made of raw elemental forces. Two powerful forces revel in their veins: the energy that powers their breath weapons, and the elemental essence that forms the core of their being. The Elemental Master strives to achieve perfect and pure attunement with these two forces.
Almost only true dragons pursue the path of Elemental Master, as the profession requires a connection to the elements and energy forces. Some dragons have a few levels in another class, usually a wizard or a sorcerer, before taking this prestige class, but many others do not.
Elemental masters are the most solitary and withdrawn of dragons, spending their lives communing with the natural forces of the universe rather than with creatures they regard as lower life forms.
When they do work with other creatures, they choose elementals and outsiders from the elemental planes as their allies, and occasionally younger dragons of their own kind.
"Is it the advanced dragon version of the Elemental Warlock..."
Cassius rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and then made his choice.
Don’t give up your professional level for free!
What's more, he also has mastered some elemental divine power. If becoming an elemental master involves the risk of energy instability and body explosion for ordinary dragons, for Cassius, it is just a matter of course.
[You choose to advance to [Elemental Master]. ]
[The [Fire Djinn Pasha Essence] you swallowed has brought you a lot of exclusive experience for the Elemental Master, and your [Elemental Master] level has been raised to 4. ]
In this way, three different professions appeared on Cassius' career panel.
Warlock 16/Elemental Master 4/Bloodscale Berserker 3
This is absolutely unique among players in the previous life. Only a certain person who had fun was promoted to the first level in four professions, but he could not be promoted again in the future - there is a price to pay for the whole life. , the balance of profession represents the dispersion of power.
But this is not a problem for Cassius - because his other two careers are "free".
"Good guy, a generalist, right?"
Cassius blew out a puff of sulfur-smelling white smoke and couldn't help but complain.
How about finding an opportunity in the future to collect all the inheritances of dragon professions?
The information on the panel is still being refreshed.
[Your Elemental Master level rises to: 1]
[You gain special abilities - [Elemental Familiarity] [Energy Coordination]]
Element Mastery: An elemental master gains additional attunement to the elemental type corresponding to his subtype.
Gain Fire Familiarity as a dragon with the fire subtype (including red, gold, and brass dragons, as well as hellfire wyverns): If both the dragon and the dragon's enemies are exposed to fire or use an item with the blazing or pyroblast special ability, Spells, the dragon will have strong control over it. Energy Attunement: An elemental master is attuned to the type of energy that powers his breath weapon.
A dragon with multiple energy breath weapons can choose an energy type from acid, cold, electricity, fire or sound energy to coordinate with it, allowing the dragon to enter a state of "elemental control" and gain greater control over its breath.
"They are all means to improve energy output. To me, they are just the icing on the cake."
"But... after all, the professional level is given for free, don't give it up for free."
Cassius opened his mouth, spit out a tiny wisp of flame, and controlled it to fly in the air like a thread, forming various patterns, and his whole body was dancing with fire.
This is the function of [Energy Coordination], which allows the dragon to control its breath to an incredible degree.
Moreover, as a red dragon with equipment such as [Eye of the Storm King] and [Horn of Eternal Frost], Cassius has a good understanding of lightning, frost and other energy. He can even breathe out lightning, and has been able to coordinate the energy of lightning. .
Cassius's eyes flashed, and lightning, frost, and fire appeared in turn in his breath.
The information on the panel continues to be refreshed.
[Your elemental master level rises to: 2, you gain special abilities - [Energy Replacement] [Summon Elements]]
EnergySubstitution: The elemental master gains the ability to alter its spells with energy descriptions so that they instead use the energy the dragon is attuned to.
The replaced spell functions normally in all respects except the type of damage dealt.
Summon Elemental: Beginning at 2nd level, once per day, an elemental master can use his breath weapon to summon a Medium elemental corresponding to his elemental subtype. The dragon breathes normally, but the elemental appears after the breath.
If the dragon decides, it can instead summon an adult Arrowhawk (Wind or Cold), a Common Salamander (Fire), an adult Turtle (Water), or a Common Thrall (Earth).
Energy replacement is a wonderful ability.
Cassius released a [Witchcraft Arrow] containing lightning energy, and then activated [Energy Replacement].
Suddenly, the chain of lightning suddenly transformed into a chain of flames and started to burn. Burn the rock black.
This is the replacement of energy, which can replace the same spell with different energy expressions, making it difficult for the enemy to guess.
As for the [Summoning Element], needless to say, it is just a summoning spell for free, and it has little effect on Cassius.
As long as he wants, he can even use the "prayer candle" negotiated from the Great Sultan to summon an efreeti noble who can grant wishes at any time.
It is said that the efreet nobles are extremely afraid of the task of helping the Ember Empire realize their wishes. They are afraid that bad luck will hit them, but they dare not shirk it.
After all, the sinister name of the "Soul-Eating Dragon" was not blown out, but was built with the lives of hundreds of efreet citizens, two emirs, and a pasha.
[Your elemental master level rises to: 4, you gain special abilities - [Energy Specialization] [Energy Burst]]
Energy Focus: The master of elements has studied a certain elemental energy to an extremely advanced level, and your breath will have unimaginable power.
Energy Burst: The Elemental Master can resonate with the elements in the environment, creating damaging energy bursts around himself.
"It seems that this is the highlight."
Cassius narrowed his eyes slightly and puffed out white steam from his nostrils.
He felt some kind of explosive power pouring into his body, filling every inch of his blood vessels, like potential elemental bombs.
The previous characteristics of [Master of Elements] are considered powerful for players and even ordinary dragons, but they are a bit useless for Cassius.
At this moment, [Energy Specialization] and [Energy Burst] are truly powerful abilities for the current Red Dragon.
【Flame Dimension Gate】
The red dragon tore through the space, left the outskirts of Beifeng Castle, and went directly to the Khalkha Glacier in the northernmost part of Anzeta.
The cold wind howled and was biting, and the icebergs reflected dazzling light in the sun.
This was the former settlement of the "Eternal Frost" tribe, but the frost giants who had lived here for nearly ten thousand years were exterminated by the red dragons. Their inheritance was carried away, and even the remaining tribesmen became slaves of the empire.
There are still rotten bone sticks and broken animal skins left in the ice cave. These may be the last traces of the frost giants who once lived here.
Of course, the broken glaciers, collapsed icebergs, and broken snowfields also recorded that earth-shattering war, but most of them were submerged in the snow.
"The Battle of Glacier Destruction."
"It turns out six years have passed."
Cassius looked at the ruins of the war with a rather sad expression.
Six years, for an ordinary dragon, is just a night's sleep, but for him, he has experienced too much.
"Boom!"
In the distance, a huge worm-like creature suddenly emerged from the ice and swallowed the ice yak on it.
Due to the loss of the tameness of the frost giants and the lack of management of this bitter cold land by the empire, the Centipede Warcraft has become the most terrifying predator here - if the player does not accept the mission of Ice Hunter.
Cassius looked at the ice hole created by the centipede monster and whispered:
"Then let me test the new ability of this elemental master."
The red dragon easily climbed to the top of the large glacier, spread its broad wings, and opened and closed its mouth slightly.
【Energy Coordination】
The huge dragon body was leaping with the aura of flames, causing the surrounding air to become hot and twisted, and the hottest center appeared in this cold polar region.
The snow is melting and the glaciers are melting.
The light on the red dragon became more and more dazzling. He seemed to be integrated with the surrounding fire elements, causing all the snow and glaciers to reflect dazzling light, and the world seemed to become silent.
Immediately afterwards, an even hotter fire suddenly appeared, engulfing everything around it.
"Boom!"
【Energy Explosion】
The glacier sublimated instantly, the broken iceberg collapsed suddenly, and the thick layer of snow on the ground turned into boiling water.
Steam, hot white steam filled the air, spreading wantonly, covering everything within a ten-mile radius.
When the smoke dissipated, the red dragon waved its wings and hung high in the air. There were no more glaciers or snowfields where he was, only a huge puddle nearly a hundred meters in diameter remained, and the water in it was still boiling. .
"This is an explosion."
Cassius looked at the devastated Khalkha Glacier and grinned, showing a mouth full of sharp teeth and a satisfied smile.
This power was similar to what he expected. (End of chapter)
