Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template

Chapter 108 Changes and New Spells

The armored behemoth suddenly appeared in mid-air, roaring deafeningly before crashing into Thor's chest.

As that familiar warm current surged through his body, he immediately felt every cell in his body rejoice, and the bloodline of the red dragon within him roared with excitement, surging rapidly along his limbs and bones.

The fusion with the Dragon Slayer monster template was successful. Abilities such as [Melting Intestines], [Efficient Heat Dissipation], and [Rapid Running], which were too weak compared to the main version, have been converted into pure life force.

The [Red Flame Bag] has been retained.

The composite metal casing has been retained.

The tail blade has been retained.

As a massive Brute Wyvern monster, Glavenus not only loves to sweep with its tail blade, but also possesses considerable fire-breathing ability.

It consumes large amounts of minerals daily. After digestion and decomposition, some of the minerals seep into its body surface to form tough scales, while the rest is stored inside the body and transformed into flammable and explosive high-temperature fireballs that it spews out.

So strictly speaking, it is actually a monster that possesses both fire and earth attributes.

This attribute, which is extremely compatible with the bloodline of the red dragon, made Thor feel as if the blood in his whole body was boiling. The fire element in the environment was constantly gathering towards him, and even his limbs and belly, which were pressed against the ground, could vaguely feel the minerals contained in the stones.

A tingling, itchy sensation began to emanate from his body. As time slowly passed, the plate-like scales on his body began to spread and grow further.

On the long tail behind its rear end, hard red scales interlocked and spread outwards and outwards, their edges as sharp as blades.

The scorching dragon blood, carrying immense magical power, surged into the carapace through the capillaries. The already vibrant scales instantly lit up, emitting a crimson glow, making the entire red dragon appear as if it had turned into a red-hot iron.

As the changes within his body gradually stabilized, Thor twisted his thick neck and looked at his own body, discovering that his length from nose to tail tip had exceeded 14 meters.

Most of his body had been completely connected by the metallic components secreted from his surface, forming a magnificent suit of armor made of numerous plates that covered his entire body.

Some curved thorns extended from the outside of the limbs, and the tips of the crimson body were tinged with a deep blue color, making them look like clusters of rising and leaping flames.

Its already long tail became even longer due to the extension of the metal material, making it more proportionate to its body than that of a typical red dragon.

This made his entire dragon look like a metal monster, with traces of its original scales only visible on the inside of some joints that needed to remain flexible.

As a consequence of these changes, a strong hunger rose in Thor's stomach. Unlike his previous craving for flesh and blood, this time he craved various metals and ores.

After all, the layer of metal spreading on the surface of his scales did not appear out of thin air. Although the monster template contained enormous energy, it was not responsible for filling the material.

To cover a red dragon that is over 14 meters long, especially a freak with a wingspan of over 36 meters, the amount of various metal materials required is by no means small.

Therefore, the armor on Thor's body and the long, agile tail blade behind him are actually all made from substances extracted from his scales and bones, and are only a thin layer.

If he hadn't consumed over 200 points of various minerals and energy crystals before fusing with the template, he would probably already be suffering from osteoporosis.

…………

Thor glanced at his current essence balance. During the time he was fusing with the Dragon Slayer monster template, his essence had increased by another 24 points.

Without hesitation, he exchanged all these essences for swallow sparrow stones. 24 kilograms may sound like a lot, but it was actually smaller than a basketball, which he swallowed in one gulp.

If he could, he would prefer to exchange for Spirit Crane Stones, but they were far too expensive, costing ten points of essence per kilogram. With his current balance, they were simply not enough to fill a gap in his teeth.

After slightly easing his hunger, Thor suddenly realized that for some monster templates, obtaining them might only be the beginning.

They would allow Thor to inherit the advantages, special abilities, bloodlines, and unique organs of those monsters, and his mental and life force would continuously transform his body, but they would not provide the corresponding energy and matter.

Just like this dragon-slaying monster template, Thor's body will evolve by combining the advantages of both, but the metallic components on his body will not appear out of thin air.

This requires him to find a way to consume the corresponding minerals. One kilogram of Linghe Stone requires ten points of essence. What if it were replaced with higher-grade dragon vein crystals, pure crystals, or even Scarlet Iris Stones?

The essence required for physical evolution and growth is likely far greater than the amount extracted from the template.

"Given my current physical condition, I would need at least a thousand kilograms of various precious ores to fully unleash the potential of the Rock Dragon and Dragon Slayer monster templates, right?"

Based on this calculation, it would require several thousand to tens of thousands of spiritual essences, which is far from enough given the amount I've acquired so far!

Thor discovered that the more monster templates he extracted, the greater his potential became, and the purer his bloodline became.

However, the more resources are needed for growth, the less essence can be saved to extract monster templates.

It can be said that the bigger the fish, the bigger the fish bones; the bigger the fish bones, the less fish meat; and the less fish meat, the smaller the fish.

He shook his head, dismissing these chaotic thoughts.

I glanced at my challenge level on my profile below the roulette wheel and found that I had reached level 14.

A level 14 baby dragon, with the added bonuses of various special abilities, is already comparable to a legendary dragon of the same age.

Many of the white dragons, who are also part of the five-colored dragons, may never reach Thor's current strength in their entire lives.

In addition to these obvious changes, the further purification of the red dragon bloodline within his body has made Thor's control over the elements of fire and earth even stronger.

As soon as he thought about it, the fire element in the environment began to gather continuously. With a "whoosh," flames rose up within a 30-meter radius of him.

This is the Aura of Incineration, which only a few adult red dragons can control. As long as the red dragon is alive, this aura will continue to burn around it.

Having mastered this means that creatures whose strength does not reach a certain level are not even qualified to approach him.

Moreover, the enhancement of his fire and earth elemental magical energy allowed Thor to awaken a new spell—Blazing Metal—from the vast dragon heritage within his mind.

Within a certain range, any non-magical metal that touches his body will be instantly heated to a reddish-white incandescent state.

This means that even a large ballista forged from fine steel would be instantly melted into molten iron if it landed on him without any magic applied, rendering it unable to exert its intended penetrating power.

At this point, no matter how many ordinary people or low-skilled professionals there are, they will all lose their significance when facing Thor.
