Chapter 131 Chapter 130-Class Change Quest Begins(1st update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)
After waiting for a while, John began to show some impatience.
Turning his hand, an item resembling a broken beast tooth appeared.
It was the "Fias's Tooth" that the Morning Wind Auction House had previously gifted him.
"Fias, at this point, do I really need to activate this thing for you to open your eyes?" John asked, his voice cool.
As he spoke, he held out the tooth.
The dragon soaking in the magma finally began to stir, its closed eyes trembling slightly before abruptly snapping open.
The golden vertical pupils, like two giant lanterns, shone brightly in the crimson magma.
"Human, why is this tooth in your possession?" a deep voice echoed in the depths of the magma.
The voice sounded weary, but it carried a strong undertone of age.
John laughed at this, retorting, "Always has to see the coffin before shedding a tear, huh? You're clearly awake, why keep up this sleeping act?"
The dragon fixed its gaze on John, its eyes full of puzzlement. "Human, you have yet to answer my question. Why do you have this tooth?"
John held up the "Fias's Tooth", his tone teasing.
"What, surprised? This tooth of yours was knocked out by Azazel's punch and left behind in the mortal realm. Who knows how many hands it has passed through. Is it that unusual it ended up with me?"
Hearing these words, the dragon roared in anger, "Silence! How dare you mention that name! Do you know the Demon race is adept at invading the fragile mental worlds of your kind? Each time that name is remembered, the chance of that demon escaping increases..."
John shrugged nonchalantly.
It seemed the dragon was thoroughly cowed by Azazel, showing fear at just the mention of his name. "Don't worry, my mental world is as tough as iron, not so easily invaded..."
John did not reveal the truth but instead spoke lightly, "I came here specifically for you. The one who holds Fias's Tooth can gain your approval and change their class to Fire Dragon Mage. I'm not wrong, am I?"
The dragon Fias gave John a deep look, "Human, the skill you possess seems to be a blessing from the god of the ocean. You have chosen to follow the ocean god, why then would you want to become a Fire Dragon Mage?"
"Don't you know that these two class attributes are inherently conflicting?" John rolled his eyes and retorted, "Well, duh, who said it was me changing my class to Fire Dragon Mage? She will complete your Class Change Quest."
With that, he pulled over a baffled Emma and pushed her in front of Fias.
Facing the semi-divine Fire Dragon, Emma could barely breathe, especially under the gaze of Fias's golden pupils.
She trembled uncontrollably, but it couldn't be helped - the dragon's intimidating aura was more than most could bear.
Even powerful native NPCs couldn't withstand Fias's dragon might unless they possessed semi-divine strength.
Seeing that Emma couldn't even speak, John frowned.
With a casual wave of his hand, the pressure on Emma instantly diminished.
"Stop releasing your dragon aura, do you think this lass can handle that kind of pressure?" John complained, somewhat irked.
The dragon Fias chuckled, his voice full of ancient wisdom, "Human, since you are aware of dragon aura, you should know that this majesty is innate, not something I can just turn on and off at will..."
John naturally understood this, which is why he conversed with Fias so calmly.
Also, because he knew Fias's character very well, he dared to thrust Emma directly in front.
In his memory, the Flame God who held the power of fire was an easily angered deity, but his companion dragon Fias had a completely opposite temperament.
This dragon was quite peaceful and seldom lost his temper.
At least so far, the conversation between them was quite pleasant.
Seeing that John did not continue, Fias once again turned his attention to Emma. "Little girl, I can sense the pure fire energy within you, and it carries a trace of my master's divine power. It seems that you have already become a follower of my master, am I right?"
Emma's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion.
She hadn't understood a word the dragon said.
As a result, she instinctively looked to John for help.
John gave her an encouraging look and softly said, "Just tell the dragon what your previous class was."
Emma quickly checked her attribute panel, leaving both John and Fias speechless.
She had actually forgotten her own class name...
John, in particular, was flabbergasted.
He felt that when he got back, he needed to confiscate all of Emma's fishing gear.
Her daily obsession with fishing had made her scatterbrained.
"Mr. Dragon, my class is Pyromancer," Emma finally managed to say.
Hearing this, the dragon Fias trembled slightly.
His deep voice was full of reminiscence, "I knew it, you're indeed a follower of my master! Pyromancer, such a familiar title, only the chosen of my master can possess this class! Girl, what is your fire elemental affinity?"
Emma once again checked her attribute panel and replied, "100%!"
The dragon Fias let out a hearty laugh. "You've reached 100%! Young girl, you were born to be a fire mage. The Fire Dragon Mage class is tailor-made for you. Are there many fire mages in this world?"
Emma nodded and replied softly, "Quite a few, at least I know many players who chose the Fire Mage class..."
"Players? What's that?" Fias asked with some confusion.
Emma was about to answer but was interrupted by John, "It's a specific group of humans, it's a bit complicated to explain. Let's not dwell on this, let's get her Class Change Quest done quickly."
Dragon Fias no longer pursued the question.
It suddenly stood upright, its kilometer-long body causing the surrounding lava sea to churn violently with just a slight movement.
The flow of lava around them sped up, even forming a vortex.
John, holding Emma in his arms, stood unyieldingly amidst the lava.
His gaze was icy as he watched Fias, a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.
John knew this was deliberate.
Fias was testing him.
Sure enough, a red light suddenly shone from Fias, and the once turbulent lava sea instantly calmed down.
Fias looked at John again, "Human, what is your real power level? Why can't I see through you?"
John replied indifferently, "Have you been here too long and become talkative? My power level doesn't matter and I won't tell you. Just get on with the Class Change Quest." n-(0velbIn
Fias flashed an eerily humanlike smile.
He opened his massive jaws and a fiery red ring of light flew out towards Emma.
John furrowed his brows, ready to intervene, but then Fias sighed, "Don't be afraid, this is the Class Change Quest. As long as this girl gains the approval of my master's divine power, she can automatically change her class to Fire Dragon Mage."
John remained silent, his eyes tightly fixed on the red light ring.
Upon his mental inspection, the divine energy of the ring was indeed quite peaceful.
It didn't seem to possess any attacking ability.
Only then did John let down his guard.
Even though he knew that the fire dragon before him was of a gentle temperament and rarely launched an attack, John had to be cautious when it came to Emma.
If this naive girl got hurt in his presence, John felt he would be capable of doing anything.
Without John's interference, the red circle of light finally landed on Emma.
Curiously, she reached out and touched the ring with her slender finger.
She had no idea what this ring was, only instinctively feeling a kinship with it.
As they made contact, the red light ring surprisingly seeped into her body through her finger.
John's brows furrowed once again.
He looked at Emma with concern, "How do you feel?"
Emma shook her head lightly, her expression unchanged, "I don't feel much, it's warm and comfortable..."
John nodded, not saying anything more.
Instead, his mental energy was wrapped tightly around Emma, ready to intervene at the first sign of anything amiss.
Suddenly, Emma's delicate body began to emit a brilliant light like flames, and her face gradually turned red.
John stiffened, spinning to face Dragon Fias with a sharp look.
"What's happening?!"
Dragon Fias's voice was as calm as ever, "Don't worry, this is normal. The divine power of my master is reshaping this girl's body!"
