Max's expression did not change. He did not mock him, and he did not praise him loudly. He only tightened his grip around Dragonheart.
Then the 5000 Dragon Essences inside his body awakened. All at once.
Boom!
A roar that sounded like thousands of dragons rising from an ancient battlefield exploded from Max's body. The four Divine Veins were already burning inside him, but the moment the full power of the 5000 Dragon Essences surged through his flesh, blood, and bones, the pressure around him changed completely.
His body no longer felt like that of a swordsman strengthened by divine veins alone. It felt like a human-shaped dragon monarch standing beneath a storm of seven-colored heavenly punishment.
Black dragon scales spread across his skin.
"Dragon Scales Transformation."
