<Ding! The host's race setting has been changed.>
<Ding! The host has achieved something that has never been achieved.>
As the sound of my beloved system echoed inside my head, I felt the power surging through me.
<Ding! The host is the first person to become a Half-Dragon.>
<Ding! The trait [Dragonoid] acquired.>
<Ding! The trait [Tyrant's Aura] is evolving.>
<Ding! The trait [Tyrant's Aura turned into [Dragon's Pride]>
<Ding! The Skill [Dragonicification] acquired.>
Just as the system's voice echoed, I could see my body getting harder. It felt like scales were forming around my body one by one, claws were forming on my hands, and most importantly, I could feel my body changing.
Strength was flowing through me, but this alone was not enough. The wounds on my body had already disappeared, regenerating. I felt like, with one punch, I could destroy this whole place, and it was no exaggeration.
'Status.'
As I thought about it, the panel appeared before me.

------------------------------------
"This is crazy," I mumbled to myself. The way all my stats have improved was something I was not expecting.
"The fact that just by obtaining the body of Dragon, my stats improved this much is insane."
It was a weird feeling. The efforts I had put in felt like they were in vain, though I knew they were not.
"A lot of things have changed." My one trait had evolved into something else, and this being not alone, I acquired another trait.
'Traits are things that were never described by the system. But, I feel like I know how to use it.'
I also acquired another skill, probably the one I am using right now.
-------------------------------------
Skill: Dragonicification
Skill Explanation: Dragonicification is a potent and mythical skill that grants the user the power to undergo a temporary transformation into a form reminiscent of a powerful dragon. This transformation bestows upon the user a significant enhancement in body strength, defense, and regenerative abilities, allowing them to temporarily ascend to a level of prowess beyond their normal capabilities.
----------------------------------------
The moment I saw the explanation, it was enough for me to understand what it was. Just as I thought, it was the skill that let me have the body of characterized Dragon, as it should be.
'System is [Dragonicification] active right now?' I asked to system just to confirm.
<It is active, host.>
'Then, is the stats shown here being increased by the Dragonicification?'
<No. The stats shown here are your basic form, host. The skill Dragonicification increases your stats as well as magic sensitivity based on your proficiency in utilizing your body.>
'I see.'
Looking at it, the stats shown there and the strength I am feeling right now had a slight disparity as well. Therefore, I could easily say that right now, my stats have already reached the threshold of 6.5 at least.
This was an assumption but, at the very least, I could feel the strength.
'Then, I should test my trait.'
Since traits were not explained by the system, there was no need to ask anything.
With that thought, I tried to activate [Dragon's Pride] by doing the same thing I did with [Tyrant's Aura].
CRASH
And the moment, I did it, I could feel the entire space around me turning into a squash immediately.
The small rock particles were all smashed like the real pressure was around me. In fact, it was. My Aura and my Mana were running rampant as my intent was forming.
'Right. My aura characteristics should also have started being formed.'
When a knight passes the mark of 5-star level, they will form their 'intent' of aura. This is called the characteristics of one, as it is related to the life they had lived, their personality, and their lineage.
As I surrounded my body with my aura, I could feel the entire space around me squashing more and more.
The small withering wind, the innate fire mana, or any other thing, one by one, were slowly getting chaotic.
As expected, this was going to be the intent of my aura.
[Chaos].
However, that was not all. Since, at this point, my aura control had already passed the mark, I could now utilize it outside of my body, albeit it had its limitations.
Closing my eyes, I controlled my Aura first. Sensing the increased amount of aura and the scales on my body
With a newfound sense of control, I willed my aura to shift and change, unlike ever before. It responded to my command, malleable and pliable under my influence.
The environment around me seemed to bend and twist in response to my aura's movements.
Experimentally, I directed my aura to flow outward, extending its reach beyond my body.
Like an invisible wave, it rippled through the surroundings, causing subtle fluctuations in the air and energy. It was as if the very fabric of reality acknowledged my influence.
SWOOSH
With a wave of my hand, a blade of aura formed into the air as it immediately slashed through the rock I had just created.
"Indeed, as expected. This was how it was in the game as well." I mumbled to myself.
Then, focusing on the compressing sensation I had initiated earlier, I reversed the process. As I willed it, the compressed space around me began to expand, returning to its normal state. It was fascinating to witness how my intent guided the behavior of my aura.
This is how it should have been. As one's intent infuses with their aura, their capacity to affect the world has been approved by the world itself; this is basically why it is a very important step.
Your existence is being acknowledged by the world at the end.
This was the reason why I did the best I could.
And now, here I was, looking at the scene below me.
'This place is dying.'
Because the former king of Dragons had already left this place, there was nothing I needed to do anymore.
'It is such a waste. I wanted Diana and Lirienne to use this place as well.'
It was a waste, but there was nothing I could do.
Just like that, the breakthrough process had reached its end, as I started returning to the academy....
