Chapter 968 Awakening The Light Dragon Bloodline!
-----
After seeing Benladann bring back a part of Asgard, we were introduced to her and various other things. Apparently, Asgard was a powerful Progenitor Dragoness, one of the strongest of all the sisters. And her ability to use "Soul Forging Magic" was able to tilt the tables in the favor of the dragons many times through the war against the invading Chaos Spirits. Apparently, it is able to strengthen even the Souls of Gods, whose souls are powerful and the origin of most of their Divine Power.
Maybe if I can awaken my Light Dragon Bloodline, I could be able to actually use the power of the Soul Forging Magic, maybe? It would be pretty awesome… Well, I have yet to even channel the complete power of the Draconic Records yet, so maybe that won't really be a thing.
"Ah, I know what you're thinking." Asgard said. "You will be able to learn Soul Forging Magic as well."
"Eh?! I can?!" I asked in shock.
"EH?! HE CAN?!" Asked my mother, my father, and my grandmother.
"Yes!" Asgard began to giggle a bit. "Don't you three fools not remember your boy is the Dragon King? He's the sole dragon destined to learn all our powers! Soul Forging Magic is something that he'll be able to learn, master, and even surpass me in the future. It is also one of the powers that might open the path to victory! It is, after all, an amazing power made by yours truly! Ohohohohoho!"
Asgard began to laugh as if she were a noble lady, was this her actual personality? I guess it slightly fits such a shiny dragon as herself.
"Ah, I guess you're right." Said Fafnir.
"There he goes again with her laughter… I guess we really have her back." My mother sighed with a smile.
"I suppose he can really learn it then!" My grandmother said.
However, before having my bloodline awakened, I wanted to ask something.
"Before we get started… I was wondering if it could be possible to also awaken the bloodline on Benladann?" I wondered.
"Ah… No, that's impossible." Asgard said.
"Eh?!" I asked in shock, but Benladann seemed rather calm, she probably guessed that already.
"Why!?" I asked.
"Well, isn't it obvious? Dragon King Drake, you've been blessed with great powers and talents, and your Unique Skill even allows you to share your power with your friends and help them develop even stronger… However, that doesn't mean everyone can do what you can." Asgard said. "Benladann here was given the Bloodline of Ice Dragons and Dark Dragons because you've given her your blood since she was an underdeveloped mortal. She slowly absorbed that power, but those not chosen to become the King of Dragons cannot possibly gain the same power as you, this is the limit of how much Dragon Bloodlines she can hold." Asgard answered while looking at me with a bit of pity. "I am sorry..."
"Ah… Well…" I sighed.
Suddenly, I felt Benladann's dragon hand patting my shoulder.
"Don't worry dear, I didn't really thought it would work out anyways. I am already super strong myself. I got my own strength and abilities, right? Don't feel obligated to try to share everything that makes you special with me, you've done more than enough." Benladann said with a gentle smile, her dragon snout caressed over mine, as she suddenly licked my face in a show of dragon-like affection.
"I see… Ah, sorry if that somehow offended you. It wasn't as if I didn't trust your strength." I said.
"Ah, no, don't worry." Benladann said.
"Ahem!" Asgard suddenly interrupted our lovey-dovey moment. "Dears, you two reek so much love you're making me smile too much. I said Benladann is at her limit in terms of Bloodline Acquisition, but that doesn't mean she can't develop the two she already has and… well, the Bloodlines of the Titans. And of course, the Bloodline of the Chaos Dragons, a brand-new branch that have emerged since I was infected by the Primordial Chaos Spirit."
"Chaos Dragons?!" Father, mother, and grandmother asked.
"Well… I do recalls sensing it." My mother quickly calmed herself.
"Yeah, me too. So that branch is something like the Blood Dragons or the Dream Dragons, huh? every time a new dragon with a certain new element is born, be it naturally or artificially, a new branch is crated, it is quite sad as there aren't many users of such branches, but perhaps Drake and Benladann might be able to take their power and use it for good." Grandmother, Svartalf, said.
"So there is really a branch of Chaos Dragons…" Benladann said. "Am I the only one?"
"Currently there is another one with you." Said Asgard. "Ragnar?k, the Alter Ego created after I was infected. That thing has a personality of its own. If you've eaten a fragment of that, then it should be possible for you to communicate with it… But it is futile. That thing is completely evil. It will only work when you devour them all when you'll be able to draw his complete power and perhaps subjugate him and turn him into your own strength."
"I see…" Sighed Benladann. "Is there really no other way?"
"I am sorry but no…" Asgard said. "For now, keep growing stronger, your powers should develop on their own eventually. Now! Drake, come here."
"Alright…"
I guess this was my time now. Enough chit-chat, time to get it going!
"Here."
FLASH!
Asgard touched my head with her enormous golden claw, a moment after, I felt as if I was falling across an endless river of golden light. Stars began merging with my body, the more I drowned in this river, the stronger the brightness became.
I saw countless figures flying across this endless river… was this the cosmos itself? Light dragons are not just mere light, they embody astral objects themselves, stars, even planets, or even meteors and other things.
I found myself lost in the endless sea of the cosmos, what a beautiful sight…
However, when I opened my eyes, it seemed to have been all a mere dream.
