406 The Duality of Dragon Cells

This time, only 29 seconds had passed before the fifteen balls of blame gathered around my palm turned into lively little humanoid dragons, flapping their wings as they stood in an organized way.

To this moment, the difficulty didn't really rise much by forming more little dragons nor did the time required, it only seemed to be a matter of elemental output, which was exactly the case with the 'Elemental Manifestation' of cells.

However, the more difficult step was actually the one that followed…

'Slowly…'

Not wanting to mess up my first try, I took extra caution and followed the second flow path of 'Myriad Dragon Cells' with more concentration and less rush as the little dragon started to fly high up…

The little dragon that was right above my palm was the first to fly up followed by the one next to him, everything seemed to be just a little magic performance until they all took their positions!

The bodies of the little red humanoid dragons appeared to be lit on fire as flames enveloped their whole bodies before all the flames joined together, like a fire getting stronger!

The sight of the burning little dragons joining together only got more ambiguous following that, they seemed to be colliding, but they were actually having a joint melting session, taking a completely new form…

Like little pieces of a puzzle that had just been created, they automatically fit with each other, revealing the completed puzzle's shape, a magnificent and majestic great red dragon!

Of course, the only way the one-meter long dragon could be described as 'great' would be if it was compared with the little dragonoids, but its form was indeed different, having a more awe-inspiring face, longer claws, and elegant wings. It was as if it was of higher hierarchy…

'Interesting…'

This peculiar happening was not within the expectation of the technique I received from the 'Knowledge Processing Center', it seemed to be all according to one's mental perception, which wasn't quite a farfetched suggestion at all.

The 'Draconian Elemental Control' technique itself was supposed to only form dragons that the draconian practitioner's bloodline originates from as a bloodline restricted technique, but further analysis of that particular point could prove that was only the case since it was the only dragon the draconians had knowledge of.

In my case, not only did I meet two dragons of this world, but I also saw countless dragon drawings in comics and animations, which made my perception of dragons much more broader.

The only current explanation was that this was my 'ideal' representation of dragons deep inside, which was why my 'Elemental Manifestations' were in that shape and even had 'ranks' to them.

'Long…'

This time, asking Long for a big building instead, I let the 'great' dragon go ahead and attack it…

Roaaaar!

The 'great' dragon made of fire elements quickly dashed into the building with only one strong wing flap and rose up with another as he used his slashed his claws at the building's walls, tearing down the center floor's wall from his side before spitting out dragon breath through that hole... the result was exactly the same as that of the first test.

'Worth it!'

Though the dragon breath that blew the whole 5-floor building into smithereens had made the dragon shrink to only double the size of the little dragonoid, the strength displayed compared to elemental consumption was completely surprising!

The main point was that I was able to perform this action while sitting in my place, only spending a little part of my fire elements to destroy the target and even have some left!

The duality of the 'Myriad Dragon Cells' was exactly what made it so precious, worth both the points used on it and the hardship of mastering it, it was a technique that actually had two flow paths!

As the main reason the carving of flow channels was so complicated, the two different flow paths allowed the use of 'dragon-like cells' for more larger ranged attacks, or 'AoE' attacks to be more exact, as well as 'great and greater dragons' made from the joining of 'dragon cells' to perform great but individual target attacks, making 'Myriad Dragon Cells' almost lacking of weakness!

As the core component of the technique, 'Dragon Cells' was well suited to even be the complete name of the technique, but other than being matched with Light's 'Myriad Transformations', 'Myriad Dragon Cells' made an even better name to present the ability to create a myriad of such 'Dragon Cells' as long as I had enough elements to use.

'It was a good choice…'

While it still bothered me slightly that this result was merely built on a strange chain of coincidences, starting from finding the book in the library which allowed me to take another spatial leap, followed by having enough points to unlock a completely new feature, and even finding a very great technique within the book that proved to have even more worth to it, I could only shake my head as the 'situation' didn't seem like it will suddenly speak an explain itself…

[ Congratulations on obtaining a satisfactory task result! The 'Knowledge Processing Center' awaits more future tasks! ]

'...'

Though the extrapolation of techniques that resulted in 'Myriad Dragon Cell' made it feel like an underestimation to even call the 'Knowledge Processing Center' a supercomputer, this late result outer notif that came from the 'blue ball' that returned to its location seemed to say little about its intelligence in case it wanted to hide its more 'lively' identity.

'Either that or it really is just a shy hard worker…'

After giving it a quick thought, I stood up from my cross-legged state and gave up on the idea of spending the rest of the time I had in the system space on carving other flow channels and perfecting my control on flow paths, after all, there was still much to do, most of which were fun things, especially… breaking my bones...
