Chapter 53 - Final Warning

[Warning!]

"I'm way past this conversation, Blaze. I must do this and end the root cause. This is my final warning... get out from my sight or I'll execute you first."

Alistein stoically stared at her as his dragon's will manifested again, green markings spreading before it eventually covered his entire body and hid his real body inside a veil of green energy. He wasn't furious nor disappointed. He could feel nothing. But that was what made him dangerous. He set his mind on a single purpose only, to kill his father, and he would do anything to accomplish his goals.

"I wouldn't underestimate a genius martial artist if I am you, amateur." The blaze began hopping in her place as she raised her arms.

"Be careful, Blaze. That man can access the third stage already, the awakened stage," Azurion notified, worried.

"Yeah, I know. This is not my first facing a person who can access that much."

The lioness of the Ember Tribe stood proud with crimson-red markings on half of her body and a lion tattoo in the middle of her cleavage – specifically the Infernal Tarrasque's lion-like face.

The weird feeling she felt from Alistein power before had changed. The very same nature of the power she couldn't comprehend before was now perceivable – the Draconic Energy.

After the system altered their body's functionalities, they became like dragons. The indecipherable secret of the dragon's power they couldn't discern no matter how hard they tried before was now revealed in Blaze's mind thanks to Azurion and the system.

A million pores in the skin of her body were now directly connected to the core of her body – the dragon core where all of the natural energies and oxygen would go.

Blaze continued to bounce in her place, guards up and eyes locked in on Alistein as she circulated the energies inside her circuit.

Based on Azurion's description, there were several processes within the Dragon Circuit.

The primary part consisted of three processes – Absorption, Fusion, and Discharge. All of them were for the natural energies to get into the dragon's will user's dragon circuit.

The absorption process was to assimilate external energies into the body from the unperceivable and complex but infinite amount of natural resources prowling around the world. Thus it was called natural energies. Some places have a denser amount of it compared to the other places.

Blaze could feel the energies around her like a breeze touching the pores of her skin but this time she could absorb it like how sea creatures can absorb water through their gills. Through the usage of the million pores all over the body, these natural energies could now enter a dragon-human body using the rearranged pores by the system as the gateways.

After natural energies entered her now dragon-human body, they would pass through several energy vessels inside called Dragon Paths that Blaze just unlocked in her body after her unification with Azurion.

Once the energies infiltrated the Dragon Paths, the Dragon Points, the closest organs in the dragon circuit, were the first important checkpoint those energies would stop by.

Blaze breathed in again to feel it and identified where these Dragon Points were located in her body and she was certain that all of them were exactly located at all the pressure points.

From the Dragon Points, the eight temporary Dragon Channels distributed in different parts of the Dragon Circuit would strictly dictate the flow of energy throughout the Dragon Circuit until all of the energies reach the first main destination, the Dragon Core in the abdomen where the fusion process would take place.

The Dragon Core's job was to get the air from the lungs and energies from the Dragon Circuit with equal ratios. The Dragon Core would condense both of the elements until they reached the point where the elements were successfully integrated. Hence, the birth of the more complicated element called Draconic Energy after the fusion process.

From the Dragon Core, it would initiate the discharge process by releasing the Draconic Energies towards the augmented physical heart in Blaze's new dragon-human body.

The final part consisted of another absorption, fusion, and discharge process, making both the primary part and the final part having the same processes. The primary part was all about the natural energies into the body while the final part was all about the application of Draconic Energy to intensify the dragon-human body's capabilities, propelling the body to make inhuman feats Blaze saw Jarak exhibited in their battle.

The absorption process on the final part was about the augmented physical heart to consume the discharged Draconic Energies from the Dragon Core.

Since the air from the lungs went inside the Dragon Circuit instead of going directly to the heart earlier, the augmented physical heart would recognize the new element, the Draconic Energies, as a replacement for its lost element, the oxygen. The heart would let the blood carry the draconic energy instead of pure oxygen and circulate it to the body. Thus, the discharge process.

After the heart pumped the blood carrying draconic energies, the blood would deliver the Draconic Energies to all the muscles in the body, giving rise to a more potent body. The Draconic Energies would break the glucose as the oxygen's job was supposed to be and create more energies to all the muscle cells along the way, releasing all of them from the body's gateway, the pores. Those used energies were the ones responsible for developing fearsome energy around the body – the Dragon Aura.

'Hey, are you sure I can use Hyper Surge in its full potential?' Blaze asked Azurion inside her head.

'Keh! That measly human technique can only exhaust you now at best. I can guarantee that you will now die from any backlash with your current dragon-human body.' Azurion's image flashed through her head, proud and laughing.

Without warning, veins abnormally bulged out on Blaze's reddening skin.

'Hyper Surge... I'm not surprised. I already saw your father do the same thing. And I heard you fought Jarak at the second stage a run for his money. But you still can't hold a candle to a third stage, Blaze,' Alistein thought.

Breathed in.

Dash.

Boom-!!

Shockwaves pushed everyone back. When they open their eyes again, Blaze had already sunk her fist deep inside Alistein's solar plexus after she erased the distance between them in a blink of an eye.
