Chapter 7
A series of messages appeared before Zeke's eyes.
[The 'Blessing of the Elder Dragon' engraved on the user's soul is activated in conjunction with the terminal.]
[The bloodline talent 'Warrior's Blood' awakens.]
[The awakened talents combine.]
[A new class has been formed through the rare combination of talents.]
[Awakening the talent of the Unique Class 'Immortal'.]
Woooong!
The red light of the Sword God Statue suddenly turned gold, and at the same time, Zeke's body was enveloped in a golden light.
And then, messages quickly appeared before Zeke's eyes.
[Class skill 'Healing' transforms into passive skill 'Healing Factor'.]
[Class skill ‘Composed Mind' transforms into passive skill 'Unyielding Mental Defense'.]
[Class skill 'Health Regeneration' transforms into passive skill 'Infinite Stamina'.]
[Class skill 'Heightened Senses' transforms into passive skill 'Combat Senses'.]
Zeke read the messages that were popping up incessantly.
'My class and skills have changed?'
[Due to the bloodline talent, you have become 'Magic Repellent'.]
[The 'Magic Repellent' trait is enhanced by a skill due to the class characteristic.]
[The enhanced trait transforms into the skill 'Mana Reflection (A-rank)'.]
[Unique Class Special Skill 'Area of Effect Buff (A-rank)' granted.]
[100 Karma Points granted as a Unique Class Special Reward.]
Zeke was startled.
'Trait enhancement? Unique Class Special Skill? What is all this?'
As Zeke read the messages, the golden light subsided, and the observers were thrown into confusion.
"G-golden light?"
"What in the world happened?"
"I-is this... really a pure-blooded awakening?"
The entire hall was in an uproar.
Everyone was speechless at the Sword God Statue's reaction, which was completely different from the usual Draker awakening.
It was then.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Abel Draker, who had been watching the ceremony from behind, clapped his hands.
Then he shouted,
"What are you doing! Quickly bring the gloves for our youngest!"
Gloves that blocked Mana Interference ability symbolized a pure-blooded awakened.
Abel Draker, a direct descendant and a pure-blooded awakened, had acknowledged Zeke as a pure-blooded awakened as well.
Hearing Abel's words, Pan was silent for a moment before finally speaking.
"Bring the gloves."
The servants hurriedly brought Zeke a pair of gloves.
Rough leather gloves with no pattern.
A proper pair of gloves would be made for him when he entered the academy.
Zeke slowly picked up the temporary gloves and put them on.
He felt the weight of the heavy gloves.
As Zeke was about to return to his place, Abel approached him.
"Congratulations on your pure-blooded awakening, little brother."
Abel extended his hand to Zeke.
Zeke looked at Abel's outstretched hand and recalled what had happened in his past life.
Abel Draker, the Knight of Slaughter.
The war he ignited eventually came back around and completely changed Zeke's life.
Because of it, Zeke lost the person most precious to him.
Zeke unconsciously clenched his fist as he looked at Abel's outstretched hand.
"This is rather awkward."
Abel lowered his hand and looked down at Zeke.
Zeke sensed a calm madness hidden in Abel's eyes.
Abel smiled at Zeke.
"Let's meet again."
He turned around and left the hall.
Zeke watched Abel's retreating figure and clenched his fist.
'Abel, I don't know what you're up to, but I won't go down easily.'
* * *
After the Blessing Ceremony, a grand party was held for the trainees who had completed the Cradle.
All the trainees in this batch had received the blessing of aura, and two had even achieved a pure-blooded awakening.
Everyone who attended the Blessing Ceremony talked about Reina and Zeke's awakening.
In particular, Zeke's golden light was an unprecedented phenomenon, so everyone was very interested.
But Zeke, who was practically the main character of the party, wasn't there.
He had slipped away to his room as soon as the party started.
"Whew..."
Zeke contemplated as he looked at the three skills.
Having already spent 10 points to view the Draconian Skills, he had 90 points left.
'First, I'll unlock Dragon Eyes... and then it's between Majesty and Gluttony.'
He couldn't unlock all three because he was 10 points short.
Even if he unlocked only Dragon Eyes and spent 50 points to view Level 2 skills, it seemed like he wouldn't be able to learn them without more points.
After some thought, Zeke chose Majesty over Gluttony.
"I can unlock Gluttony... after I catch some monsters."
Zeke opened the Dragon Eyes and Dragon's Majesty skill windows and pressed unlock.
[Do you want to unlock the Dragon Skill, Dragon Eyes?]
[Do you want to unlock the Dragon Skill, Dragon's Majesty?]
'Yes, unlock both.'
The screen changed instantly.
Draconian Skills (Level 1 unlocked): Dragon Eyes (Beginner) / Dragon's Majesty (Beginner)
Karma Points Held: 40
Dragon Eyes and Dragon's Majesty appeared in the Draconian Skills section.
Zeke looked at the two skills and pondered.
"But... how do I test these?"
Unsure, Zeke activated Dragon Eyes.
[Dragon Eyes activated.]
Zeke's vision changed instantly.
'Huh?'
It was a completely different feeling from what he normally saw.
He turned his head to look at a dark area, and the previously invisible area turned green, allowing him to distinguish the shapes of objects.
"Wow, what is this?"
It was an ability that allowed him to see beyond the range of human vision.
Just then, Zeke noticed something.
[Do you want to check the detected object information?]
'What's object information? Let's see.'
[Chair made during the Lubern dynasty]
[Decorative candlestick made in the Sicron region]
[Olive wood desk made in the Misok region]
As he looked at the objects in the room, information about them was automatically displayed.
"Oh my god. How is this possible?"
Just then, his vision returned to normal, as if the Dragon Eyes' duration had ended.
Zeke felt a sudden wave of fatigue.
"Hmm... the cost is high because the performance is good."
Considering the fatigue, there was a limit to how many times he could use it per day.
"Let's see, next is Dragon's Majesty."
Zeke endured the dizziness and activated Dragon's Majesty.
[Dragon's Majesty activated.]
Wooong!
A faint wave emanated from Zeke's body and spread in all directions.
"Is this Dragon's Majesty?"
Zeke stood in his room and examined the range of the wave.
The effective range was about 3 meters, and it was difficult to measure the full extent of the faintly spreading wave beyond the room.
The skill deactivated as if the wave had spread to its limit.
"Does this wave create a sense of intimidation?"
The problem was that there were no enemies, so he couldn't tell the skill's effect.
It was then.
Bursting open!
Decker rushed into Zeke's room with a hardened expression.
He was holding a small dagger in his hand.
"D-Decker? What's going on?"
Decker shouted as he shielded Zeke,
"Young master, get down! There's an intruder!"
Zeke was startled by Decker's reaction.
Decker raised his senses, trying to find traces of the energy he had just felt.
But he couldn't sense any energy anywhere.
'What's going on? I definitely felt a terrifying presence from this direction.'
Through Decker's reaction, Zeke could indirectly experience the power of Dragon's Majesty.
'If Decker, a Blue Knight, reacts like this... I can probably subdue most small fries with this.'
Decker, unable to find any trace of the intruder, eventually said he would strengthen the surrounding security and left the room.
Zeke broke out in a cold sweat after Decker left.
"Whew, I can't use this skill carelessly."
He felt a wave of fatigue after using Dragon's Majesty as well.
"At this rate, I can't use the skills many times."
No matter how powerful the skills were, if the number of times he could use them was limited, it was no different from a picture of a cake.
But just then, letters appeared before his eyes again.
