***** Seeing this thing, Victor's eyes were full of fire. Although the purpose of transforming by pleasing the Bottomless Abyss failed, he had found another, better path.

"I just didn't expect you to survive!" At this moment, Victor looked at a scorched figure below.

This guy was none other than the former Juster. At this time, his entire body was covered with black scales, and his eyes had turned blood red. His body had grown much larger, and an abyssal presence emanated from him.

"I... don't know..." Juster was confused. He had no idea what was going on. Looking at his own body, he felt a bloodthirsty urge to devour everything.

"Fine, since you survived, I hope you can continue to work for me!" Victor took out a contract from his hand.

"Sign this!"

Looking at the contract in front of him, Juster gritted his teeth and signed his name with blood.

"Very good. Come with me now—you won't regret your choice today!" Victor said excitedly. It was nice to have someone witness his success.

The two slowly disappeared into the distance.

---

I was in the cave and opened my scarlet eyes.

"Interesting. Let me see what surprises you can bring me!"

Anyway, the Seed of Distortion would never escape my control. Just treat it as planting a seed! I hope it bears satisfactory fruit.

---

At this time, the major cities and kingdoms around Voltan City exploded with news.

After all, Voltan City was not a small village. Such a large city had just disappeared, taking half a million people along with it. Among these were nobles, merchants, and many spellcasters and adventurers.

The intricate relationships were not so simple!

The most important thing was that this was the location of the Voltan family, and now the Voltan family was gone...

According to reports from some nearby villages, it seemed that the city was first covered by a purple magic circle. Then, there was an earth-shattering explosion!

Immediately, all forces rushed to the ruins of Voltan City to investigate.

The royal family of King Sakania was even more furious. After all, this was one of the most powerful cities in their kingdom! It had vanished without a trace!

In the end, many casters detected the breath of the Bottomless Abyss after examining the site, and they concluded that someone had deliberately summoned abyssal creatures.

This made everyone extremely worried. One must understand—it was the Abyss.

The spellcasters carefully removed all traces of abyssal energy, continuously purifying the area. They even sealed off the ruins of Voltan City entirely.

However, there was a rumor—someone claimed to have seen a huge black dragon over Voltan City when the disaster occurred.

In the face of the Abyss, such rumors could not withstand scrutiny.

---

A few days later, the Kingdom of Del erupted in turmoil.

Because of the disappearance of Voltan City, the King's only son, Ravel, was killed during the Abyss invasion. It was said that even his body, when found, was in an extremely tragic state.

At first, the king didn't believe that those corroded, ugly bones were his son, Ravel. However, after repeated inspections and confirmations by the court magicians, it was proven that it was indeed Prince Ravel. He had been struck directly by a massive fire explosion and died painfully.

The king was stunned on the spot. Upon awakening, he was furious and directly executed the two eighth-level fighters who had accompanied Prince Ravel that day.

When he was about to kill Leo, the lord of Kaleni City, Leo's master—a semi-sacred Light Magician—intervened, saving Leo's life.

Things became clearer when Duke Aura's daughter, Laura, was found.

According to Laura, there were actually three dragons present, not just the black dragon.

While all the warriors focused on the black dragon, two metallic dragons and many abyssal demons launched their attack. One of the demons took the opportunity to strike Laura, causing her to lose an arm.

In order to save his sweetheart, Laura, Prince Ravel gave her the teleportation scroll, allowing her to escape while he faced the demons alone.

After finishing her testimony, Laura fainted from grief, still calling Ravel's name in her sleep. This moved many, who couldn't help but sigh at the sincerity of their love.

"Your Highness, Prince Ravel is truly dead!"

In a luxurious manor, a blonde woman in a maid outfit reported to a beautiful red-haired woman.

"Are you sure?" The red-haired woman stood up. She raised her eyebrows, a beauty mark gracing the corner of each eye.

She had a good figure—tall, with a special air of authority. She gazed down at the maid, exerting immense pressure.

"Yes... yes... truly. The court magicians have confirmed it many times. Prince Ravel's remains were found, corroded and disfigured, all to save Ms. Laura!" the maid stammered.

"You believe Ravel would sacrifice himself for others?" Laysa sneered.

Laysa looked toward the palace. "Father, I wonder what you'll do!"

The red-haired woman was Lyasa, the third princess of the Kingdom of Del. She was extremely talented, having reached the realm of a seventh-level spellcaster this year.

But as a woman, she couldn't inherit the throne. Now, with the king's only son dead...

The entire kingdom appeared calm, but underneath, it churned with tension.

---

However, just a few days later, new information emerged. Someone in the Kingdom of Del noticed the news.

The city of Kars—this is the city where the three princesses are located.

"Are you sure that a black dragon left after the explosion?" the third princess, Laysa, said, looking at a warrior next to her.

This is one of her soldiers who is best at scouting.

"That's true! The subordinates will never make a mistake! And the patrolling team was killed by that black dragon!" said the knight in black armor.

"If this kind of thing is really related to the black dragon, then the strength of this black dragon is definitely far beyond everyone's imagination!" Sophia stroked her fiery red long hair.

"Have you found out the whereabouts of that black dragon?"

"Your Highness, the black dragon is very dangerous!" The subordinate seemed to have guessed her thoughts.

"Hehe, no matter how scary the black dragon is, it's not as scary as that person!" Laysa smiled brightly.

But no one noticed the hateful gleam in her eyes.

"Get ready. I'm going to meet this black dragon!" Laysa's eyes flashed with a light that had never been seen before.

In the cave, the Gold Dragon Gelante was unconscious.

And I was cutting the other's wrist with a huge bucket to catch the dragon's blood.

"What are you doing?" Argenta, who had just come back, saw this scene with red eyes.

She rushed directly in front of Geraint and looked at me vigilantly.

"Help your brother heal!" I said casually, looking at the dragon's blood flowing from Geraint's paw.

"The treatment is the treatment, why did you shed his blood?" Argenta looked at Saron angrily.

"This is the ancient bloodletting therapy, which is to expel toxins from the body, you don't understand!" I said with a profound look.

Seeing that the Gold Dragon Gelante was already weak and out of shape, I silently urged the twisted seed.

The wounds on Geraint's body began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the scorched black scales also returned to the original golden scales.

"This..." Argenta looked at this scene a little stunned.

The girl who wanted to explode instantly calmed down...

Could it be that she really misunderstood him? Is there really a cure for bloodletting? What is the principle?

"Fine, then eat more monster meat and the like. With the Golden Dragon's self-healing ability, you can recover soon!"

I happily left here with a big bucket of Gold Dragon blood and threw a few pieces of dragon meat from the ground into the bucket, by the way.

Leaving Argenta staring blankly at my back.

I fiddled with the things in front of me: half of the head of Balor, a bucket of Golden Dragon blood, and several pieces of Golden Dragon meat.

There were so many magic iron ores beside it.

The magic iron vein was taken back by Shadar after the Voltan family disappeared.

Those guarding warriors were useless.

But the magic iron veins had been mined a lot, and those guys didn't know what method they used to mine them.

Ugh!

I sighed. The ingredients were far too lackluster for what I had in mind. The situation here was too volatile, and I wasn't ready to return to Castle Black just yet. After all, an entire city had vanished, and there were bound to be countless people searching for me in the aftermath. I needed more time to let things settle.

It seems that there will be more food in the future!

Time flew by, and before I knew it, more than a month had passed, and nobody followed after me.

A pair of scarlet eyes opened in the darkness a few days later.

This is me after the transformation is completed.

At this moment, I looked at my body, which was close to 42 meters, with some emotion.

I have become so powerful without knowing it, and I feel full of security.

My eyes lit up.

This time seems to be different.

Armor Break has been buffed, which is a good thing.

After all, many of the enemies I faced had powerful self-healing effects.

For example, for demons, self-healing is a basic ability. No matter how sharp your minions are, as long as you can't attack vital points, they will grow back instantly.

It is said that some demon heads can grow back after being cut off.

Serious injuries can suspend their recovery effects.

I wasn't too surprised by my newly added affinity. After all, that's how I got the Earth Elemental affinity last time.

Thinking of this, I breathed out again.

It's still the black dragon's unique acid, but the corrosiveness seems to be a little more powerful.

I was a little disappointed that there was no flame breath. I always wanted to be a Charizard.

Among the Chromatic Dragons, the breath of the red dragon is the dragon flame. This kind of dragon flame is quite domineering, and its power will become stronger and stronger as it grows older.

The flame breath of some ancient red dragons can't even be resisted by some fire elements from the Fire Elemental Plane.

From this, we can see the overbearing nature of the breath.

And flame breath is different from flame magic; the former is instinctive, while the latter needs to cast spells.

As the saying goes, "Are you truly a mage if you don't know how to cast Fireball?" The same principle applies to dragons—can you really be called a dragon if you lack the ability to breathe fire?

The image of a fire-breathing dragon is deeply ingrained in the minds of mortals, an iconic trait that defines what people envision when they picture a dragon. It's the classic symbol of their fearsome might, one that sets dragons apart as legendary creatures of power and awe.

Anyway, the Flame Body below surprised me a lot.

Not to mention the built-in fire magic immunity—I already had it after devouring the Plutonium Dragon egg, but it didn't show up in my skills.

As for the explosion effect, it should be similar to the burning explosion of the Barlow Balor. I have to say, that thing is truly disgusting. Even in death, it will disgust you.

The most important thing is that the Seed of Distortion also has this effect. Imagine fusing some miscellaneous soldiers with twisted seeds, activating them on the battlefield, and having them explode when the enemy lets down their guard after they die.

That effect would be absolutely awesome—a walking, talking landmine that blows up with a thought, like a drone.

Do you want to try it first?

Just thinking about it, I stood up and flew out of the hole.

I landed in an open space. Two leopard monsters were fighting there, but they didn't dare flee under my dragon shadow—they could only tremble. I fused the twisted seeds into the two monsters, then activated Flame Body.

Immediately, countless golden-red flames erupted in the gaps between my scales, making me look like a burning gold dragon bathed in fire. I studied the layer of flames on my body for a moment.

Burst!

Boom~

Instantly, the area within 200 meters of me was engulfed in the flame explosion. I flapped my wings, dispersing some of the smoke, and took a deep breath as I looked at the scorched forest floor around me.

This works great!

And it seems the power can keep increasing. After all, it's based on my body's surface temperature and fire element. I have the Atomic Furnace, which can keep heating up my body's surface. The Fire Element Affinity also gathers more fire elements around me.

I've already thought of some battle strategies. Activate Flame Body, then use Void Walk to flash into the middle of the enemy and explode…

---

Time marched on with relentless steps, leaving in its wake the ruin of Voltan City—a once-thriving metropolis of over half a million souls. Noble families of great renown, their power woven into the fabric of Dal's kingdom, were swept away as if they had never existed.

The world stood in stunned silence. Such a loss was no mere inconvenience—it was a cataclysm that reverberated across the land. Even the air seemed to shudder, as though the world itself held its breath.

In the days that followed, the wars that once raged with ferocity began to dwindle, quieting as though an unseen hand had stilled the flames of conflict. It wasn't peace but disbelief and confusion. The vanishing of the great city, along with its countless adventurers, merchants, and mercenaries from distant realms, left a void—one that could not be filled with mere words or promises. This tragedy served as a stark reminder of the perilous nature of such occupations. Soon, many seasoned warriors, traders, and craftsmen hung up their blades, wares, and hopes.
