My bloodline is so eager to improve.

They are adept at using the power of moonlight to heal wounds and unleash attacks.

Even when the barbarian gods still walked on the earth, they were considered messengers of the moon.

After witnessing the transformation of the Moonlit Hound, Otto understood the words of the Magical Ape.

The white dog chose the path of transformation that best suited it.

This made Otto extremely gratified. After the Black Sheep, that demon orb, transformed, there was finally a spirit orb willing to stand on his side.

But before Otto could be happy for long, a sudden change occurred.

The Moonlit Spirit Dog flaunted its superiority to the black cat.

[The Moonlit Hound begins chasing the black cat!]

[The black cat is desperately using Shadow Step, and your understanding of bloodline magic has deepened.]

【Shadowless Steps LV3】

However, the power of shadow elements lost its advantage under the moonlight.

The white dog successfully beat up the black cat.

"You guys are really just fair-weather friends!"

Otto originally thought the white dog was doing it for him, but it turns out it was to counter the black cat's power!

That's good, that's fine too.

Otto discovers that these animal friends seem to gain experience by using bloodline magic.

Seeing this, Otto stopped paying attention to his animal friends' squabbles.

"In order to improve the level of my magic, I have no choice but to make my animal friend suffer. I'll take the blame!"

While Otto was watching the farcical chase with smug satisfaction, Michael and the others had already returned to the forging workshop.

They found a vacant spot and settled the thief.

As for Maika, he took out a booklet from the forging shop.

"This is an encyclopedia of rare items. Although it's not as comprehensive as the Adventurers' Guild's collection, it should be enough. Take a look."

After saying that, Michael tossed the booklet to Otto, and then worked with Goren to deal with the thieves, trying to achieve the best results.

Otto, seeing that the Abyss Fire was still undecided, simply opened the book and began to look at the strange items related to fire.

This includes content from The Abyss Fire.

The Abyss Fire, according to legend, burns eternally in the plane inhabited by demons.

This flame, fueled by desire and will, and fueled by sin and obsession, is difficult to extinguish with water once ignited.

Only a prayer or blessing imbued with powerful purifying energy can extinguish it.

"That's a good choice."

Otto felt that having the Abyssfire as an alternative should be fine.

However, once the path to transcendence is chosen, there is no turning back, so he still intends to learn as much information as possible about it.

With that in mind, Otto immediately started reading the sequel.

The elemental fire revered by the kingdom.

Metallic fire that coexists with the earth's veins.

There were even ghostly flames accompanying the tomb.

The variety of strange objects in the world made Otto feel somewhat dazzled.

But at that moment, the Magic Ape offered its own suggestion.

[The Magic Ape has absorbed the information you gleaned and discovered the most suitable material for the Fire Seed Iron Guard: Dragon Flame.]

The Magic Ape hopes you can quickly absorb the Dragon Flame and join him in defeating the Moonlit Spirit Hound.

Clearly, the magic-wielding demon ape had realized something was wrong.

My previous behavior of going back on my word has become a stain on my reputation.

I'm afraid that after the Moonlit Spirit Dog finishes disciplining the black cat, it will be my turn.

At that time, the only one who can support the Magic Ape will be Otto.

But Otto found the suggestions from the Magic Ape incredibly troublesome.

The Dragon Flame belongs to the dragon, and the dragon is the legendary pinnacle race among the fantasy species!

Ordinary people have never seen such a creature.

But with a "what the hell" attitude, Otto still asked Michael about the Dragon's Flame.

"Mike, do you have any connections to get Dragonfire?"

In fact, Otto's motivation was not only for the promotion of the Fire Seed Iron Guard, but also to find out everything related to Michael's purpose.

After all, judging from Maika's actions, they will be heading to the location of that ancient artifact sooner or later, so it's good to gather more information.

But Michael frowned when he heard Otto's question.

"Are you sure you want to use Dragonfire to ascend?"

Clearly, Michael understood Otto's underlying meaning and simply sighed.

"Indeed, compared to the Abyss Fire, which has extremely severe side effects, the Dragon Flame is more powerful and more stable."

Maika let out a long sigh of relief, then sat down next to Otto and pointed to Goren in front of him.

"Do you know why his teeth are abnormal?"

Chapter 52 Dragon Flame

Myka seemed to be referring to something.

But Goren didn't care at all. He just smiled at the two of them, revealing his serrated teeth.

Upon recalling the question he had just raised, Otto immediately understood.

"Is it related to dragons?"

Otto reasoned that Michael wouldn't casually mention Goren's unusual condition; there must be some connection between the two.

Upon hearing Otto's answer, Michael simply nodded and recounted to his junior the horrific circumstances surrounding Goren's promotion.

"At that time, Goren was seriously injured in a gang raid."

Although he is undergoing an extraordinary transformation, his life is already hanging by a thread and he simply cannot survive.

Therefore, I made a risky decision to bathe him in dragon's blood.

As Michael recounted the story, Otto learned a bizarre tale.

When Goren bathed in dragon blood, his body reacted as if burned, but his other wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"But the healing of the wound is only the beginning."

As the dragon's blood took effect, Goren's teeth fell out and were replaced by some kind of ferocious serrations!

After that, Goren's recovery speed far surpassed that of others, perhaps he had also absorbed some of the characteristics of dragon blood.

Michael said all this to remind Otto that the power of the dragon was not so easy to covet.

But Otto countered with a question.

"So, you can find it, right?"

What do I need to give in return?

Otto got straight to the point and stated his thoughts.

Since Maika warned him, it means that he still has dragon blood!

Come to think of it, after all, Maika had already healed Goren with dragon blood, so there was no way he wouldn't have kept such a method!

The only thing Otto needs to consider now is Michael's offer!

Seeing that Otto had made up his mind, Mikea stopped trying to stop him and simply explained.

"Although there is no ready-made dragon flame, if we ignite the dragon blood with a flame containing extraordinary power, we might be able to draw out some."

As for the price...

Michael hesitated, seemingly considering something.

But the woman next to her, who was holding down the thief, said with a smile.

“Master Michael, after working with him, I can see that the Otto brothers are capable people.”

Whether it's promotion or an adventurer's advancement, it's all just a matter of time.

Goren's assessment of Otto seems to have impressed Mike.

He finally agreed to speak.

"Let's sign a blood oath."

The content is simple: after obtaining the Dragon Flame, you must follow the Shattered Dragon Blade team to participate in the expedition to the Otherworld and help me obtain that ancient relic.

Of course, you only need to contribute within your capabilities. As your comrades, we would never ask you to do anything that would lead to your death.

"I'm sorry, that dragon blood is a treasure I brought from my hometown; I cannot use it at will."

It seems that the departure of that big guy had made Maika hesitant.

Michael proposed the most appropriate trading method.

Otto did not reject such a contract, but he had one condition.

"You must tell me what that ancient artifact is?"

Otto must know the purpose of his actions; otherwise, he would rather choose a different flame.

Seeing Otto's firm stance, Michael finally relented.

"Crown of Runes"

In the past, the dwarves developed a technology called Rune Runes using six Great Rune Runes formed from the laws of the mortal world.

Those runes of Runehead are all included in the Crown of Runes.

If I could obtain it, I could inherit the extraordinary profession of rune artisan, which is very important to me.

At this moment, Maika finally revealed his true purpose.

Surprisingly, Mike's goal was similar to Otto's: to get promoted.

Only then did Otto finally understand the purpose behind the formation of the Dragon Slayer Squad.

Clearly, this long-lived being has been waiting until now in order to obtain the most suitable extraordinary profession.

Thinking of this, Otto simply nodded.

"Alright, I agree to sign the blood oath."

But where is the dragon's blood?

Otto didn't think Michael would hide the dragon's blood here.

Just as Otto was wondering, as the sky began to lighten, the fire started to burn.

The ferocious, eerie green flames scorched the thief.

Without hesitation, Maika immediately started collecting them with Goren.

Unfortunately, the thief...

Michael only collected a small vial of Abyssal Fire as a kindling, which was clearly not enough for Otto to advance.

However, these flames are enough to ignite the dragon's blood.

Michael immediately put away the Abyss Fire and was about to leave with Otto.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the place where the dragon's blood is stored. However, it's a bit dangerous there, so you'd better be prepared."

Upon hearing this, Otto immediately understood.
