Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

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 Giant 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 the evil-leaning forces of Erezgei.

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 Kassu 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 power 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 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 mission 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.

【ELEMENTAL MASTER】

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 before taking this prestige class, usually a wizard or a sorcerer, 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 inheritance 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 increase energy output. To me, they are just the icing on the cake."

"But... after all, the professional level is given for free. Don't take it 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]]

Energy Substitution: 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, and you gain special abilities - [Energy Specialization] [Energy Burst]]

Energy Focus: Elemental Masters have studied a certain elemental energy to an extremely high level, and your breath will have unimaginable power.

Energy Burst: Elemental Masters can resonate with the elements in the environment and create damaging energy bursts around themselves.

"It seems that this is the highlight."

Casius narrowed his eyes slightly, and white steam spurted out of his nostrils.

He felt a certain explosive power pouring into his body, filling every inch of his basal blood vessels, like a potential elemental bomb.

The previous several [Elemental Master] characteristics were considered powerful for players and even ordinary dragons, but they were a bit useless for Casius.

And at this moment, [Energy Focus] and [Energy Burst] are truly powerful abilities for the current red dragon.

[Flame Dimension Gate]

The red dragon tore through space, left the suburbs of North Wind Castle, and came directly to the Khalkha Glacier in the northernmost part of Anzeta.

The cold wind was howling, biting, and the icebergs reflected dazzling light in the sun.

This was once the settlement of the "Eternal Frost" tribe, but the frost giants who had lived here for nearly ten thousand years were exterminated by the red dragon, their heritage was taken away, and even the remaining tribesmen became blood slaves of the empire.

There are still rotten bone sticks and broken animal skins left in the ice cave, which may be the last traces of the frost giants who once lived here.

Of course, the broken glaciers, the collapsed icebergs, and the broken snowfields also record the earth-shattering war, but most of them are buried in the snow.

"The Battle of the Glacier Destruction."

"It has been six years."

Cassius looked at the ruins of the war with a rather sad expression.

Six years is just a sleep time for ordinary dragons, but he has experienced too much.

"Boom!"

In the distance, a huge worm-like creature suddenly drilled out of the ice layer and swallowed the ice yak on it into its stomach.

Due to the loss of the taming of the Frost Giants and the Empire's lack of management of this bitter cold land, the Centipede Monster has become the most terrifying predator here - if the player does not accept the task of Icefield Hunting.

Casius 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 climbed to the top of the glacier easily, spread its wide wings, and opened and closed its mouth slightly.

[Energy Coordination]

The aura of fire leaped on the huge dragon body, making the surrounding air hot and twisted, and the hottest center appeared in this cold polar region.

The snow layer was melting, and the glacier was melting.

The light on the red dragon became more and more dazzling, as if he had merged with the surrounding fire elements, causing all the snow and glaciers to reflect dazzling light, and the world seemed to become silent.

Then, even hotter fire suddenly appeared and engulfed everything around.

"Boom!"

[Energy Explosion]

The glacier sublimated in an instant, the broken iceberg collapsed, and the thick snow on the ground turned into boiling water.

Steam, boiling white steam filled the fields, they spread wantonly, covering everything within a radius of ten miles.

When the smoke dissipated, the red dragon flapped its wings and hung high in the air. There was no glacier or snowfield where he was, only a huge puddle with a diameter of nearly 100 meters, and the water inside was still boiling.

"This is an explosion."

Casius looked at the devastated Khalkha Glacier and grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth and a satisfied smile.

The power was about the same as he expected. (End of this chapter)
