Limitless Evolution: I'm The New Dragon God?-Chapter 40: First Flight

Bloodline: Solarfrost Imperial Dragon

Grade: S

Description:

A legendary fusion of frost and solar power, born from the Variant Frost Dragon and Sacred Sun Dragon. This bloodline grants mastery over both fire and ice. Sometimes its skills and traits carry the duality of both elements in perfect balance.

That was not all. A few new notifications flashed before his eyes.

[ Your species skill: Frost Breath (E) has evolved to: Sunflare Glacier Roar (E) ]

> Emits a beam of fire and frost that turns enemies into burning statues.

[ You Have Acquired a New Species Skill: Twin Eclipse Ascent (E) ]

> Flies into the sky, splitting its wings into solar and frost halves, creating a twin eclipse above.

Ryu stared at the skill descriptions, wide-eyed.

"As expected, even E-Rank skills from an S-Rank bloodline sound incredibly powerful. I’ll have to test them before using them in real battles."

He grinned as he pulled up his status screen to check his improvements.

After glancing at the big numbers, he was more than pleased. His level had not changed, but his physique had undergone a massive transformation.

Now, with each level-up, he would gain 40 attribute points and 100 mana points. It was to be expected from an S-Rank bloodline, but what gave him the most relief was his increased lifespan. It had now extended to 250 years. That meant he wouldn’t die of old age anytime soon.

Grinning to himself, he finally stepped out of the Fusion Lab.

But upon arriving outside, Ryu stepped out of the Fusion Lab, a faint steam rising from his golden-crimson scales as the residual energy of his transformation still lingered in the air.

His breath was calm, his posture tall and powerful. He was no longer the same hatchling who had entered this forest.

But then, something felt... wrong.

The wind had died down.

The trees, once rustling with life, stood eerily still. The usual chirping of nocturnal insects and distant animal cries had vanished. The environment was unnaturally silent.

He expected Grakar’s usual cheerful flattery, but this was completely unexpected.

Ryu’s pupils narrowed instinctively. He scanned the forest with his evolved senses.

Grakar was gone.

No footprints. No crushed leaves. Not a single sign that his loyal follower had ever been nearby.

"Grakar...?" he called loudly. "Where are you?"

No answer came. Only eerie silence.

Ryu searched frantically but found no one nearby.

He paused and pondered deeply.

"Is he dead? But who could have killed him? I don’t see any traces of struggle here. So who could have taken him?"

His gaze involuntarily turned to the sky. It was slightly less dark as dawn approached. Just then, his nose picked up a familiar scent in the drifting air.

"Some kind of flying monsters? Or Hollows?" he guessed.

"Only one way to find out."

For the first time, he spread his wings. The dragon was ready to soar.

His magnificent wings unfolded fully, revealing shimmering white membranes stretched between strong golden bones, with radiant golden feathers lining the edges. They glistened under the fading twilight.

His eyes, once pure silver, now bore golden pupils that burned with regal brilliance, layered over their silver surface like molten sunlight over ice.

His body, now comparable in size to a small cow, stood proud and grounded on all four limbs. Power surged through every muscle as he crouched low, extending his wings for takeoff.

"Whap!"

With a resounding thrum of energy, he flapped his wings.

He felt a powerful force push against the earth as wind howled beneath him.

Flap. Flap.

"Whoosh!"

He lifted five meters into the air. But almost immediately, his balance faltered.

Bang.

He crashed down onto the ground.

Gritting his teeth, he rose again. He wouldn’t give up this easily.

Again, he took flight. This time, he stayed in the air a little longer before losing balance. But it was clear. He was learning. His instincts, his bloodline, they were guiding him.

The yearning to fly, to truly claim the skies, filled his heart with excitement. It was no longer just about movement. It was about freedom.

But alongside the exhilaration, he felt urgency. Grakar was missing. Time was short.

Driven by both purpose and passion, he trained his wings with relentless effort.

And within just ten minutes, he achieved it. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"Whoosh!"

With a graceful and powerful flap, he finally soared into the sky, slicing through the early morning wind like a sovereign of the sky.

"Amazing. So this is what true freedom feels like," Ryu whispered from the depths of his heart.

His eyes wandered between the vast expanse of the sky and the shrinking ground below. Then they fixed upon the rising sun. The sensation of the cool morning breeze brushing against his face, along with the first golden rays of sun, filled him with immense joy and exhilaration.

Maybe this was why paragliders risked their lives just to glide again and again. To chase that thrill. To taste the overwhelming sensation of freedom.

But then his expression suddenly changed.

"What am I doing?" he muttered internally, narrowing his eyes. "I need to find Grakar. I cannot waste any more time."

Even though Grakar was not truly a friend, he was a follower and a subordinate. So it was only natural to care for someone who had pledged his loyalty.

Turning his attention east, Ryu followed the trail of the foul, lingering scent. It drifted on the breeze, faint but consistent, leading toward the horizon where a towering rocky mountain rose against the sky. It was almost 500 meters high.

The stench grew stronger with each passing second, more potent and putrid, like a warning carried through the air. Someone or something carrying that stench had passed through recently.

With grim resolve, Ryu angled his flight upward, his wings slicing through the air as he made his way toward the mountain’s peak.

The scent was leading him straight to the top.

And at the very peak he met someone that made his eyes wide with surprise.
