CH.526 Draconic Dhampir

The next morning, Agunan asked me for permission to use the core room to finish the dragon scale blessing. He honestly didn’t need to ask, out of everyone on HomeBase, he had the right to be there, as my Dungeon Master. But perhaps because of him not asking for permission to do the blessing, he was now asking for permission for things he was already allowed to do.

I agreed, with the condition that I would be allowed to observe, as I wanted to know how this happened.

Agunan accepted, and soon enough, we found ourselves in the core room. Just me, the dragon and Ria.

Agunan was holding in his arms a tiny piece of a dragon scale. It had once been a full scale, but he had chipped pieces off of it little by little, and ... well, you’ll see what has happened to those pieces.

Agunan then reverted into his dragon form, holding the tiny scale on his palm. He then used a claw to crush the scale into powder.

{Previously, I used one of those kitchen crushing bowls to do this part, but as this is the final piece, I am doing it like this.} The dragon explained, and I was about to translate for Ria, but she seemed to understand what he was saying.

She must have been practicing Draconic. Which makes sense, since you have to chant Draconic Magic in Draconic.

Agunan then made a tiny cut to his thumb and let just a drop of blood mix with the powdered dragon scale.

He then began to chant a spell, but honestly, the chant sounded more like a song. Or perhaps a poem would be more accurate. But read in a very song-like way.

The blood and dragon scale mixture began to glow softly as the spell ended, and then Agunan spoke.

{Ria. It is ready. Please, consume it.}

Ria didn’t verbally answer, just approached the dragon and with a bit of Blood Magic, guided the mix into her mouth. Based on her facial expression, Ria really enjoyed it.

I let the two enjoy the moment for as long as I could, but when Ria started to become visibly tired, I decided I had to call it.

“We should take Ria to the MedBay. Her evolution is likely starting.” I reminded Agunan.

He transformed his humanoid form, took the dhampir into his arms, and we both used our Dungeon Terminals to teleport to the MedBay.

Ria has definitely grown since last time. She got the ‘daily life’ skills of Cooking, Cleaning and Service. But she also learned, by herself, how to turn her Status Drain skill into both HP drain, or Life Drain as the skills name is, as well as Mana Drain. So better believe each time she hits you with her fist, you will lose a bit of your stats, HP and mana included.

Her Fire Magic evolved into Draconic Fire Magic, which is cool, and she got the two Draconic racial skills. She is, without a doubt, powerful.

For physical appearance changes, Ria now had a permanent pair of wings on her back. They were on her upper back and looked quite draconic. She also had a pair of dragon horns peeking out from under her hair. Her nails were a bit longer, and likely quite sharp. And she had some dark red scales covering some parts of her skin.

Her silver hair also had some streaks of Agunan’s red running through them, but other than that, she was still Ria.

Now, time for Valoa.

Valoa came out of the evolution not looking too different. There was just one big difference between his pre and post evolution self. He now had a tail.

Because yes, Valoa didn't have a tail. I assumed he didn’t have one because he was a half-blood, but maybe he did have one and it was forcefully cut off?

Maybe Olia assumed that the ‘baby father’ would take them in if Valoa didn’t have a tail and had it removed. I really hope that isn’t the case, but it could be. Or maybe Valoa never grew a tail because the family lacked food, so the tail was seen as unnecessary and he just never grew one.

Well, he has one now, and it looks quite fluffy. I just hope Einar and Eline don’t bother him too much about it.



With the evolutions over, the two of them wanted to test their improved stats. And Valoa needed to get used to balancing himself now that he had a tail.

Ria’s wings didn’t cause her much issue, as she has been growing wings for herself with Vampiric Body Modification for a long time.

For the tests, Valoa was fighting the adventurer students we had. Who, by the way, were more than a little frustrated by the fact that the ten year old Fox-kin is stronger than they are.

Ria on the other hand was taking on me. While her stats aren’t that close to mine, her Strength is only 1200 points less than mine. ... which is admittedly a lot, but since this is just a practice match, and with Ria using Status Drain on me, she put up a good fight.

That was until she used Vampiric Body Modification to turn her wings into arms, so I responded by race changing myself to Multi-Armed, and we had a four armed slug off.

Which ended in my victory. Because while Ria is more skilled when it comes to unarmed combat, I just have too big of a stat advantage over her. My defense is nearly double hers, so her punches barely hurt me and no amount of Status Drain was going to make up for that difference.
