Chapter 2, The Giant Rat Knight
Originally, he was somewhat dissatisfied with being transformed into a dragon; however, it seems there is now nothing to be dissatisfied about
Among them, the traits of [Hard Scales], [Sharp Claws], [Robustness], [Wyrmling's Dread], and [Glutton] are innate abilities that all true dragon hatchlings possess from birth
At that time, it would be difficult for ordinary physicians in the town to handle such injuries due to infection.
For example, one year later, these foundations of Godon will still be at one-tenth, and even one-fifth of the talent may very likely grow to three or even four. In two years, it can reach the peak of the juvenile dragon stage, followed by stabilization and then evolution
Riding a giant rat, wielding a bone spear, galloping through the various corners of the sewer
In one-on-one situations, most people are not a match for a fledgling dragon
Among the frail humans, if they are to be warriors, they must reach the standard of a second-tier professional only after several years of training in skills and rich adventures following their coming of age
Just as he was pondering how to use the "Talent Plunder," a rustling sound came from below the sewer entrance
The skills 【Flame Immunity】, 【Bite Claw Strike】, and 【Lava Spit】 are abilities that he has comprehended from the legacy of dragons since his birth, or rather, the term 'self-awakening' is more precise
Race: Lava Dragon
The green dot flickers approximately once per breath, almost in sync with his breathing rate
Take the Lava Dragon, for example
Title: None
Every true dragon possesses the legacy of dragons; their combat skills are innate and should not be underestimated due to their age
Gadon · Auduin · Targaryen
Hearing this sound reminded Gerdon of his past life, the sound of rats scurrying in the sewer
Among them, the soul talent "Talent Plunder" left him somewhat puzzled; this was not mentioned in the Dragon's Legacy. Could it be...
Talent: [Scaly Armor] (1 / 10) [Sharp Claws] (1 / 5) [Robustness] (1 / 20) [Low-level Fire Magic Resistance] (1 / 12) [Draconic Dread] (1 / 4) [Glutton] (2 / 9) [Dark Vision] (1 / 11) [Sound Imitation] (1 / 2)
However, the dragon slayers of the Aio Continent continue to advance one after another, with waves of campaigns against the evil dragons, akin to harvesting chives, cutting down one batch after another
The sewer opening, four pairs of scarlet eyes rose up from the sewer opening
The sewer is still somewhat safer than the wilderness outside the city, for you can never imagine whether the monster that appears in the next moment in the wilderness will be a goblin or a dragon
In fact, these are merely the data representation of the elements within his body, which can more clearly illustrate his current condition
However, the number of people who take on the task is quite limited, usually consisting of novice adventurers or mentors taking their apprentices down for training purposes
a flashing green traffic light
In addition, one can also choose the commonly available low-level antidotes from the pharmacist or alchemist's shop, specifically designed to eliminate the diseases carried by low-level monsters, but the cost is not much different from that of holy water
To easily slay a young dragon, a five-member team with an average profession level of 2 is required to achieve victory with ease
Age: Hatchling (0 - 5 years)
Skills: [Flame Immunity], [Bite and Claw Attack], [Lava Spit]
A vibrant green, only the size of a grain of rice, resembling a traffic light
The sound is rapid and urgent, echoing on the slick, wet surface of the sewer, resembling the noise of running on a racetrack. Moreover, the sound is evidently not from a single source, but rather from a group, akin to a swarm of locusts passing through.
Accidents and tomorrow, you never know which will arrive first
The "Burning Hand" understood by the young dragon, the "Lava Heart" understood by the juvenile dragon, the "Scorching Ray" understood by the adolescent, and the "Lava Rampart" understood during adulthood, ... as well as those to be comprehended in future maturity, old age, and ancient dragon stages, ...
The dragonborn little girl also looked towards the direction of the sewer entrance with a face full of terror, her eyes filled with fear, clearly aware of the type of monster that produced this sound
The resistance to low-level fire magic is due to the skill "Flame Immunity" awakened by the lava dragon itself
The legacy of the dragon also promptly provided information about these sound creatures in the continent of Aio
The remuneration for adventurers clearing the sewers is already limited, and if a vial of antidote or diluted holy water is required, then the reward that can be obtained after the completion of this commission will be minimal.
Generally, a first-level adventurer can easily handle three or four opponents at the same time, provided they have specialized protective leather armor. Otherwise, if they are accidentally bitten, the germs carried by the giant rat's mouth are not something they can withstand
It can only be said that it is indeed a being that enters the scene as a Level 2 entity and reaches Level 6 upon maturity, a being that stands at the pinnacle of the pyramid from the moment of its birth
The giant rat, one of the most commonly seen monsters in the sewers, is approximately dozens of times larger than an ordinary rat, standing about 1.2 meters tall when upright, comparable in height to an adult goblin
It was amidst Nina's increasingly fearful expression
This is ... ...
Thus, he attempted to engage the green dot with his consciousness, and at the very moment when his consciousness made contact with the green dot
Moreover, this is just the beginning; as the years go by, the hatchling dragon will grow into a true dragon, and the skills it can comprehend will become increasingly numerous
When did it appear? Was it after eating the last fragment of eggshell or after licking off the final trace of slime from its scales?
After all, the giant rat can be considered a type of monster, even though it does not belong to any specific rank
In the land of Aio, where tigers lie hidden and dragons conceal themselves, it is not mere boasting; even divine aberrations and ancient evils can be uncovered.
The red glow in those eyes fixed intently on Nina, and the long spear made from an unknown bone was clearly visible in the darkness, emanating a chilling cold light
After all, most true dragons do not even need to exercise; they only need to eat and sleep to surpass the majority of creatures on the continent of Aiou by a significant margin
He has no impression
The sudden appearance of the data panel caught him off guard, but having read numerous novels in his previous life, Gedun quickly adapted to it.
The flicker interval is also very stable
Life: 31 / 31
The small head, which had already begun to show signs of a true dragon, tilted slightly, curiously observing a green dot that suddenly appeared within the retina
A soul from another realm, carrying certain things, has traversed into the body of a young true dragon on the continent of Aio
Soul Talent: [Talent Plunder]
The "talents" of the hatchling, like its "skills," will also change as the hatchling grows, with both increases and enhancements occurring
However, no matter which direction he turns his head, the green dot in his field of vision remains unaffected, firmly fixed in the lower right corner
It is not unusual for strange things to occur
Benefits brought by time travel
The legacy of the dragon does not mention that a newly hatched dragon can see green dots; it can be inferred that if it is not an illusion, it must be related to its own being
... ...
A line of light blue data appeared directly before him.
Nina's heart is now in turmoil, "How could there be traces of ratmen activity here? Could it be that..."
After all, both wealth and prestige are what those dragon slayers yearn for most
It is precisely the elite among the rat people, a Tier 1 monster - Giant Rat Knight
To seek treatment, one must purchase the specially formulated holy water for the removal of plagues from the temple, of course, in its diluted form. It is said that high-purity holy water can even purify the demons from the abyss
Otherwise, how could the rat people, separated by several corridors, arrive at this place
If the young dragons face such difficulties, what can be said about the true dragons in adulthood
It is possible that even venting at a tavern after the battle is not feasible, which is why the commission to clear the sewers exists in the adventurers' guilds of every city
This is also why every high-level mage must perform a divination for themselves before embarking on a journey.
Level: 2
Nina suddenly recalled that on her way back, she did not encounter the stinky mud monster in the usual area. She merely assumed it was hiding, not realizing that it had either left the area or been eliminated
