Chapter 7, Black Iron Talent

Floating above the sea of fire at this corner, rising and falling unpredictably

He muttered to himself, casually discarding the giant rat in his hand, and began to guide the white orbs of light, eleven in total, along with one black orb of light.

However, after a short while, Gedun regained his composure from the shock, slowly exhaled, and had a general understanding of the principle behind the activation failure

Skilled in charge

Talent [Onomatopoeia]: As the young dragon ages, its vocal cavity approaches a mature state. Whenever it desires, it can produce any sound that can be heard in the world. The young dragon, well-versed in the art of hunting, can even perfectly mimic the sound of a pig to lure in predators.

Ka-la

... ...

However, if news of a hatchling dragon in the Kalando sewer were to spread, it is likely that countless individuals would flock to attempt to slay the dragon, or the slave capture teams from the arena would arrive. The strength of the second tier would be insufficient in the face of these people

However, at this moment, Gerdon's focus was not on this, even though it was his first time using the Lava Dragon's special ability, [Magma Spit]

the virus in "The Source of the Epidemic"

Ding! Detection successful ... ...

No, to be precise, it is the luminous orb on the corpse

Ding! A talent fragment has been detected as inhaled by the host, the system is currently detecting...

However, the color of the magma's surface, which was initially golden yellow, has partially transformed into orange.

The ten rodent skeletons crammed in the fire pit reveal only their stark white bones, along with scattered bits of flesh and blood that have not completely melted away

However, Gedon quickly recovered from his discouragement and directed his gaze towards a line of data composed of bright black font, which was stagnant in the lower middle position of the data.

However, despite the astonishing potential for growth of the true dragon, the unchangeable fact is that Gedun is currently just a powerless hatchling, lacking any sense of security

What piqued Gerdon's interest were the "Source of the Plague" and "Charge"; all other talent shards had been decomposed into first-tier random shards.

The spheres of light gradually rose from the fire pit, and the corpses on the ground slowly ascended, with twelve spheres of light hovering in the air

Can talents still be activated unsuccessfully

Beneath the charge suffix, there are also two much smaller, exquisite fonts closely attached.

However, in the memory of the Dragon's Legacy, this level of power is simply too trivial!

Due to the host's elevated body temperature, the activation of the [Source of Plague] has failed, and the system has automatically converted the [Source of Plague] into talent fragments

At this moment, if someone were to see his panel, they would discover

From a distance, it resembles a sea of fire, with occasional bubbles rising up with a gurgling sound.

Proficient

The high-temperature magma has still not cooled, possibly due to the blunt impact of Gerdon's eruption, which created a large pit at the corner, just enough to accommodate the magnificent flow of magma.

Although his rank is two levels higher, he has already left most of the creatures of the Aio continent far behind

However, the chaotic and cluttered light blue interface only lasted for three breaths, followed by a barrage of messages indicating the completion of various tests.

... ...

A level higher than the entry level: [Charge]

However, this investment is still quite worthwhile, not counting the fragments given to him by that glossy black orb

This talent is likely possessed by almost all true dragons, except for the red dragon among the five-colored dragons.

I have developed my occupational disease again

The talent of 【Source of Plague】 surprisingly allows its body’s claw strikes and bites to carry a faint toxin, which is remarkably similar to the 【Scorching Heat】 talent it comprehended after growing into a young dragon

If it were not for the need to imitate the voices of those human children just now, the voice of the ratman Vich would be used to deceive the giant rat knights outside the sewer into coming in

Is the black one a higher-order fragment

At times, one must admit that the True Dragon is indeed a favored one of the Creator God of Aio

Talent [Scorch | Heat]: The Lava Dragon's Bite and Claw Strike will inflict additional fire damage equal to its age category

He said that he would not spend a single first-tier talent fragment to further enhance his "Mimic Voice"

Regarding the "Source of the Plague," Gerdon naturally harbored little resistance, especially when he was still a hatchling without the protection of a mother dragon, being particularly receptive to various forms of power

Is it still possible like this

Therefore, Gedun did not miss any opportunity to become stronger. When he saw the option to activate the talent "Source of the Plague," he did not hesitate for long

It is important to note that in the memory of the Dragon's Legacy, the sixth-tier adult Lava Dragon's "Magma Eruption" can expel a volume of magma from its chest and abdomen that is equivalent to the size of a football field, sufficient to cover a military formation of over a thousand people

Clearly, the color of the font indicates that it is a notch above the previous eleven fragments

The ability of imitating voices has mysteriously vanished from his list of talents, replaced by a brand new transformed ability of sound imitation

He is now examining with great curiosity the ratman corpse in his hands, which appears more robust compared to other ratmen.

The path of the deadly poison seed is completely impassable here at his Lava Dragon

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why countless intelligent races need to diligently cultivate their talents. For the true dragon, it comes naturally when it comes to eating and drinking.

The densely packed light blue data almost simultaneously emerged in Gerdon's field of vision, resembling a computer blue screen that has crashed in an instant

As before, hold the neck and pull the tail

It is unexpectedly not the previous white, but a bright black, much like its fur, with a faint metallic sheen.

Let us call it the Black Iron Talent Fragment

Progress 2 % ... ...

One of the necessary conditions for advancing to the second level of knight.

Ding! A talent fragment has been detected as being inhaled by the host, the system is currently undergoing detection...

Then it swiftly and orderly crashed into the body of Gerdon

Against the backdrop of the bubbling sound of magma, a crisp and melodious dislocation sound emanated from the giant rat's body. The twitching giant rat instantly appeared much more tranquil, its face devoid of any trace of pain

What appeared instead was a line of brand new data information

Progress 23 %

Yet at this moment, a mere corner of a sewer, covering an area of several square meters, does not warrant a second glance from him

Gordon's dark golden eyes were taken aback by this scene, appearing somewhat dazed

Progress 1 % ... ...

Gordon thought to himself and casually named this orb of light, then picked up the giant rat on the ground that was still twitching, having lost its owner

It cannot survive even a second within his body, as it is destined to be completely eroded by his searing dragon blood

Gordon rubbed his dark golden eyes with his claws several times, yet they remained bright black metallic orbs, quite conspicuous under the illumination of the blazing fire

Gadon also realized what he had gained from this strike of "Magma Eruption" combined with a "Charge"

Is / No activate the talent [Charge]

Speaking of ordinary first-order talent shards, he has collected eleven pieces, and the rewards can be considered quite substantial

11 first-order talent fragments, consisting of 【Dark Vision】 * 3, 【Rodent Perception】 * 2, 【Source of Plague】 * 1, 【Rodent Riding Proficiency】 * 3, 【Charge】 * 1, and 【Spear Weapon Proficiency】 * 1, totaling six different talents

However, it remains extremely hot, after all, reaching over 1,000 degrees Celsius; if exposed for a long time, it could even melt your bones

He lightly touched his consciousness, yet in the next moment, the talent "Source of the Plague" did not appear as desired in Gerdon's list of talents

It is ! ''

Ding! A talent fragment has been detected as being inhaled by the host, the system is currently undergoing detection...

This is precisely the black iron talent that Gerdon obtained from the ratman he knocked away with his "Charge"

It can even be said that a sixth-tier adult dragon, if it does not have its subordinates, would likely find it difficult to escape the fate of being slaughtered or captured
