The Elder Anesthesia Dragon was shocked to the core, learning that the Deviant Devil could morph into any one of its previous awakened forms at will. Just imagine the implication of this the Dragon felt dread in its heart.
When the Deviant Devil awakened a form that was adapted to the Dragon's dream field and bested the Dragon in its own game, The only solace the Dragon had in this despair was that the Deviant Devil's awakened form was temporary but the skills it had honed for centuries would be with it for a lifetime.
But now, learning the Deviant Devil's awakened from was not temporary, the Dragon felt like somebody snatched the only crutch supporting its will from plunging into darkness. It started at the Deviant Devil blankly as if it had lost its soul because the only way for the Dragon to redeem itself as the strongest assassin, its plan for a second assassination attempt on the Deviant Devil fell through even before it started.
Since the Deviant Devil's awakened forms were not temporary like the rest of Mulias tribesmen's awakened form, the Dragon realized that now that the Deviant Devil had an awakened form that had adapted to the skills it had spent centuries mastering and had immunity to its innate abilities from the get-go, the Dragon could never be a threat to the Deviant Devil let alone it trying to assassinate it.
The Elder Anesthesia Dragon lost all hope of ever being able to assassinate the Deviant Devil. It wanted to yell, 'Why is the world so unfair? How can it create someone so gifted?'
The Dragon's despair was only logical as,
> In the 'Moon Incubation' state the deviant devil cannot be killed. All the damage sustained in this form will be healed when it enters the next state.
> In the 'Awakened form' state the deviant devil will gain a new body that will be adapted to the battlefield where the Moon incubation state was completed but also gain immunity to all skills that had damaged it in the 'Moon Incubation' state.
The only thing stopping the Mulias tribe from using their ancestral blessing to declare war on the entire Drak realm—no, the Myriad realms was the penalty of the blessing,
> Both the states of their ancestral blessing had a time limit and were temporary, stopping the Mulias tribesmen from abusing their insane effects.
> After the time limit, when the temporary state was lifted they quickly gained a debuff, 'weakened state.'
Hence the Mulias tribesmen did not use their ancestral blessing unless they needed it. However, the Deviant Devil unlike its fellow tribesmen did not have to worry about these penalties because of its muscle's innate reality-bending ability. Without the penalties holding it down, the Deviant Devil basically a war god able to excel in any battlefield.
In front of such an entity, the Elder Anesthesia Dragon feeling despair was only logical.
"No, my awakened form is temporary too, it is just that you are too weak to last against me until I enter the 'Penality' state from the 'Awakened form' state. The only difference between my awakened form and my fellow tribesmen's awakened form is that my 'Awakened forms' continue to exist as part of my muscle memory while my tribesmen's 'Awakened form' gets erased when they enter the penalty state.
Since all my 'Awakened forms' are saved as my muscle memory, I can enter them again skipping the 'Moon Incubation' state at will but not when I am in the penalty state. Even though my muscle's innate reality-bending ability is powerful it is not capable of getting rid of the penalty state of my family's ancestral blessing. However, it can shorten the 'Penalty state' and 'Moon incubation' state while lengthening the 'Awakened form' state. This way it gives my enemies the illusion that my Awakened form is permanent without any penalty.
Ah~, it feels good to finally share my secret with someone. There, I have held my end of the bargain it is your turn. Use your innate ability 'Dream Maze' on me," the Deviant Devil explained its ability that had formed from the combination of its muscle's innate reality-bending ability and its family's ancestral blessing
"I-i am weak?" the Elder Anesthesia Dragon muttered to itself in disbelief. Instead, of using its innate ability 'Dream Maze' on the Deviant Devil.
"Hey, don't get me wrong but since you got the strongest assassin title at such a young age, your abilities must be strong but I am stronger. Believe me, I know what you are feeling right. I know it doesn't help coming from but there are a lot more freaks out there in front of whom even I do not hold a candle. Thankfully, they are too busy exploring the unknown in the Myriad realms in search of transcendence. So, children like us get to play the strongest. Don't let this discourage you. Come on, now use your innate ability 'Dungeon Maze' on me,' the Deviant Devil consoled its assassin, asking it not to be discouraged by its defeat.
"Playing the strongest you say, hahaha! You are right, I let my little success get to my head and got stuck in this game forgetting what's truly important, my pursuit of transcendence," the Elder Anesthesia Dragon's blank eyes were now replaced with crazy ones. After all, its entire worldview was shattered by the Deviant Devil. Then it intently informed the Devil, "Thank you for reminding me of my goal. As my show of appreciation, I will use your head to show my determination to pursue transcendence."
"Glad, I could be of your help. Use your innate ability already," the Deviant Devil yelled impatiently, showing that along with its immunity to Anesthesia Dragon's innate ability its spiritual body had also gained the addiction to the Anesthesia Dragon from its physical body.
In response to the Deviant Devil's impatient cries, the Dragon suddenly grinned maliciously with a slyness radiating in its eyes. Then yelling, "Make me, you sucker!" the Dragon activated its Dream Escape ability preparing to escape.
