If it wasn't for the fact that Little Red was far too familiar with Roland, she probably wouldn't have been able to recognize him.
Roland was wearing a set of bright-red battle armor that seemed to be composed of countless tiny scales and accessories. His wrists, knee pads, waist, and leg pads all had additional dragonscale armor pieces. However, there were no traces of them connecting to each other, as if they were natural.
The armor that covered Roland's entire body was quite similar to that of Dragons. On his left shoulder was an angrily roaring crimson dragon head, while on his right shoulder was a dragon claw that held a dragon ball. When Roland put on a helmet decorated with dragon head decorations, he could only see a pair of shining eyes in a black abyss.
The armor's material was like ice, yet it was as red as blood. There was even a faint blood-red heat flowing around the armor. The dragon eyes on the armor were flashing, and even the dragon runes that covered the entire body were flashing. The entire armor seemed to be a living creature that was breathing.
The armor was designed to look like a roaring demon dragon, and it even had its own draconic might. Just looking at it would make anyone feel uncomfortable.
The most flashy part was that this armor, which was already ridiculous enough, was also specially paired with a bright-red cape.
[Dragonscale Ice Armor: The Guardian of Eternal Night. System Evaluation: Legendary (can grow).]
[This armor is constructed from the eternal ice of an ancient dragon's bloodline in another world. There are special inscriptions on it, and the soul of the item, Irene Béla, resides within it. The user is limited to Roland himself.]
[Titan's Thunder Metal: This armor has Legendary-level damage reduction. 30/God Equipment. Any damage dealt by any weapon below the level of God Equipment will be reduced by 30 points. System Notification: You actually embedded a shard of a titan's shield into your armor to increase its defense. Only you could think of something like this.]
[Living Armor: This armor is alive. She can repair damage on her own. She can even help you use the power of the Dragon Bloodline. However, if you accidentally anger her, do you still remember the pitiful little girl in the fairy tale who couldn't take off her magical dancing shoes and danced to death? In fact, if Irene Béla wanted to mess with you, she didn't have to go to this extent. She only needed to make sure that you couldn't take off your armor and go to the toilet …]
【Ein Mezus' Protection: The dragon's bloodline flows within the armor. She is protecting the wearer of the armor. However, this isn't good news for the attacker. After all, this means that the wearer has to absorb at least 100 points of damage per day in order to be able to deal any damage to the wearer. This ability will automatically repair itself within 24 hours.]
[Dragon Follower: I really can't believe this attribute would appear on an armor, but you've done it. The wearer can use various Dragon Follower abilities through this armor.]
[Eternal Night's Authority: Due to the uniqueness of its material, no ice damage will be able to lower its temperature below zero degrees Celsius. In other words, it is an existence that is almost immune to ice. Due to her Ancient Red Dragon Bloodline, fire damage is halved and the lowest damage is reduced by 30 points.]
[Curse of Blood Armor: If the wearer isn't Roland, this armor will spit out blood-sucking needles that will transform the wearer into a dry corpse.]
That's right, this armor was a product of evolution. When my bloodline evolved, I set my sights on Harloys and Irene Béla.
From a certain standpoint, as my contracted Frigid Maw, Irene Béla was basically my soul's other half. However, in the recent battles, she was unable to keep up with the situation.
This wasn't because Frigid Maw wasn't strong enough. The Aurora Knight, which was at the lowest Gold rank, would forever be the pride of the Northlands. The monster-level Frigid Maw from the great snowy mountains would definitely be no weaker than an Ancient Red Dragon. However, due to my soul contract with me, and the fact that we were currently on a far too dangerous battlefield, the Frigid Maw and Irene Béla were indeed unable to do much due to my upper limits.
A Gold-ranked Ice Pegasus or Ice Dragon would probably only serve as a means of transportation on a battlefield where SemiGod and Myth ranked existences were everywhere. If I rode on Irene Béla while charging, it would likely be quite likely that I would die on the way. Not only that, I also had the ability to fly after transforming, and I loved riding on engineering vehicles when I had nothing better to do, so I didn't need a mount at all.
Most of the time, Irene Béla's greatest assistance to me was to help me control my ice magic and become my secondary magic core, rather than actually fighting on the battlefield.
Irene Béla was also aware of this situation. That was why even though she didn't successfully fight on the battlefield in the end, she didn't complain at all. Originally, Frigid Maw also had the ability to create an ice sword and ice armor for her master. However, as I improved, this ability was replaced by Harloys's magic sword and "Absolute Zero Ice Armor."
As the other half of my soul, this time's power level advancement was doubtlessly an opportunity for both of us. Even if Irene Béla was strengthened, she would still be restricted from reaching the Legend rank before I truly reached the Legend rank. At most, she would be able to preserve her potential and gain a few more Dragon Bloodline skills … But to be honest, that would be useless.
When I saw Harloys, I thought about how her growth-type Ice Ice Magic Sword would greatly improve my combat abilities, and I had an idea.
"Indeed. Contract creatures, mounts, and magical pets can't surpass their masters. This is one of the basic rules of the mortal plane. However, weapons and equipment are independent existences, and don't have such a restriction. Irene Béla already has the Ice Dragon transformation ability. If she obtained a true Dragon Bloodline, she would be able to control it completely on her own. As for the ability to transform, no matter if it's Irene Béla's own ability to create ice weapons or Harloys's information, it's theoretically possible. "
Of course, many things were theoretically possible. However, it was ridiculously difficult to actually do so. Changing a creature's body structure out of thin air was already at the level of the Creator Goddesses. However, I wouldn't be able to do such a level of transformation. My current skill level was only at the level of creating "the coldest ice" or something inorganic. At most, I could just copy some creature to create something similar, but I was unable to do such a thing.
"… Although I can't do it, my System can!"
That's right, my physical body creation ability only required two potions of blood and Fate Points to create this body with limitless potential. In that case, it should be possible for me to create a body for Irene Béla as well.
Alright then, everyone knew the rest. Of course my System could do it, but the result was that my System took away all of my Fate Points and made me owe a huge debt.
[Roland Mist. Strength 34 (+ 10), Agility 24, Constitution 25, Intelligence 32, Will 22, Charm 20. Natural Talents: War Angel Form, Original Sin Demon Form, Titan Blood, Gaze of the Hell God. Basic job class: Level 60 Order Knight/Level 60 Chaos Witch King/Level 10 Four Elemental Swordcasters. Advanced job class: Level 6 Master of Winter. Overall level cannot be evaluated. Magical Pet: Harloys. Mount/Armor: Irene Béla.]
As expected, the increase in attributes this time was small. Strength increased by 2 points, Agility by 2 points, Stamina by 3 points, Intelligence by 2 points, Willpower by 2 points, and Charisma by 1 point. Although it didn't seem like a big increase, but because the base was already very high, every point of growth was extremely difficult to achieve. This increase in attributes this time was already a very good harvest.
The only thing that broke through my bottleneck was my originally useless Charm stat, which made me rather worried. I could only hope that I wouldn't awaken any strange abilities. But considering my System's usual behavior, it probably wouldn't let me off so easily, so I could only do my best to not think about it.
As for natural talents, I now only had four of my originally ridiculously powerful racial talents. Although they seemed much weaker, they were actually greatly strengthened.
Originally, these two types of transformation abilities were called "incarnations." They both had a time limit so that my physical body, which was still in its infancy, wouldn't be overly burdened. But now, they had become "forms." This meant that I could transform into my regular combat strength with a single thought. The only difference was that the duration of the transformation had greatly increased. This was truly a great improvement.
Since I had considered the demonic characteristics of the Original Sin Demon God incarnations, I had always used the War Angel incarnation in the human world. Now that I had a full set of armor, as long as I put on a mask, I could freely use both forms as I pleased.
My Shadow Feet and Order Sword had already been canceled, so there was no need to mention them. However, my three extremely practical natural talents — Titan's Torso, Divine Child, and Chaos Barrier — were gone as well. They seemed to have been combined into a seemingly ordinary name — "Titan's Bones."
My previous two major talents were super practical.
[Titan's Torso (Diamond Racial Talent): Your physical body contains the primordial power of the Titans. Your skin is becoming more and more like Titan metal. Reduce all damage and negative effects by 30%. Reduce all damage by 5 points.]
[Chaos Barrier (Gold Racial Talent): Protect your own existence from the pressure of divine territory and Soul World. Reduce the effectiveness of will-type abilities and illusions.]
However, the newly obtained Racial Talent seemed to be a combination of both.
[Titan's Bones: Host's body contains the bloodline of the first Titans. Your bones and skin will be similar to that of a pure Titan. Reduce all damage and negative effects by 50%. Host will be immune to SemiGod rank and above mental abilities and control magic. As long as your feet are on the ground in battle, your physique and strength will gradually increase. Your stamina will gradually recover, and your injuries will gradually heal.]
To be honest, when I saw this talent, I really wanted to comment on my System for taking the Titan's Bones from you. However, when I thought about the Titan's broken teeth that went missing after the battle, I decided that it was better not to ask about some things. If the System really told me that the broken teeth came from the Titan Giants, I would probably be so disgusted that I wouldn't be able to eat for several days.
As for the missing Divine Child talent, I asked my System about it. The gist of it was that when your physical body evolved to such a degree, you would be able to complete a God's Descent even without the assistance of this talent.
[System Evaluation: As you wished for, the perfect meat shield. You have given the Dragon Vein to Irene Béla for safekeeping so that you can evolve even further. Of course, I doubt that you're the happiest about this …]
Yep, the increase in power wasn't what I cared about the most. What made me the happiest was that I had finally grown up … I think I was around three years old.
Originally, I had the Arbiter Bloodline in my infancy, so no matter how I looked, I didn't look more than ten years old. Now, I seemed to have entered my youth phase, which meant that I was around eleven or twelve years old. Although I still needed a ring to adjust my physical appearance, I was now a little boy with some hair. No matter how I looked, I was much better than a little brat who couldn't do anything at all.
And so, I proudly dispelled my armor and revealed my true form as Little Red walked over to me. Although I was still slightly shorter than Little Red, I wasn't too far off. Yep, I was only half a meter away from her.
"Roland? What happened to your Dragon Vein? Why do I sense that you're even weaker than before? "
Was I even weaker than before? In a way, that was indeed the case. Irene Béla originally didn't have a physical body. The System hadn't created one out of thin air. The bloodline power that Irene Béla lacked was absorbed from me. I would need time to replenish the flesh and blood that I had lost. Although my stats would increase again, it would likely take a long time to recover.
"Dragon Vein? I gave it to Irene Béla. That's the ability to transform into armor. Heh heh, you don't know this, but this time, your dragon blood really helped me tremendously. You must be feeling terrible after being cooped up for so many days. Come, I'll treat you to some drinks. Right, this body of yours hasn't reached adulthood yet. It'll take several decades before it reaches maturity, and I can't even drink alcohol yet … Forget it, it doesn't matter. Let's go to the bar! "
I was so happy that I couldn't even speak coherently. But the strange thing was that even though Little Red heard that I was treating her to a drink, she should have happily dragged me away in the past.
But this time, the more I spoke, the more Little Red's expression kept changing. Her red dragon form's face became redder and redder, indicating that she was either excited or furious. Just as I was wondering what was wrong with her, a gigantic fist suddenly appeared in front of me.
"You number one idiot in the world! Let me see what color your brain is! "
Although it was a surprise attack, how could it possibly stop me, who had just finished my closed-door training? The current me … already had enemies in the world! That was close. I almost said something like a death flag.
* Bang! *
My reaction wasn't slow either. My mystical-armored arm successfully blocked the heavy blow. With the buffs and support of my armor, I only took half a step back to block Little Red's monstrous attack of at least 35 Strength. This meant that with the buffs from my various defensive abilities, I was probably about the same level as a mini Titan Giant.
"Ha, you want to test my current strength? How impatient. Come, let's have a good fight! I guarantee that you'll be satisfied! "
Although Little Red was currently in human form, I was quite proud of myself for being able to block an Immemorial Dragon's brute strength. I immediately intended to summon an ice blade and use actual combat to test my current strength, but …
"Damn it, Little Red, why did you transform into your dragon form? Why are you so angry? Dragon breath? Are you for real!? I only intended to have a competition with you in human form! "
"You idiot! My … my plans have all gone up in smoke! It took me so much effort to make up my mind! I already threw caution to the wind, but you actually dared to embarrass me and make me say such shameful words … You, are you even a man!? If you're a man, let me spit and bite you. "
"What? If you bite me, I'll be dead for sure. "
I had an innocent expression on my face as I was astonished by Little Red's anger. However, this only made Little Red even angrier out of embarrassment.
Alright then, if Little Red still remembered that Roland was still in his infant form, and that dragons, with such a powerful bloodline, would only be able to reproduce after reaching adulthood, she probably would have known that her plan would have been impossible to succeed from the very start.
Of course, if she had learned from a certain Town Security dog and had enough patience, it would have been possible for her to have a ten year shota training plan. But now, thinking back to what she had said in front of Molly, the berserk Red Dragon's heart was filled with anger and embarrassment. She had completely entered a berserk state, and there was no logic left in her.
"Dragon breath three times in a row? Metal knuckles for dragons? Fine, I'll show you my backbone, War Angel … Ahhh, you're breaking the rules! How can I be attacked while I'm transforming? You should at least let me finish the transformation animation … I hate this feeling … "
Just as I was about to spread my wings and soar into the sky, the flustered and exasperated Little Red punched me and sent me flying into the sky like a shooting star. When she discovered that I was now tough enough, the furious Little Red started using her female privilege — venting her anger on me.
* Bang! *
The additional Dragon Breath caused the meteor in the sky to turn into fireworks. However, from the energetic "… I'll be back!" In terms of shouting, the effects of this armor were really good. In the end, only Little Red, who was panting heavily, glanced at her surroundings.
The aftermath of her Dragon Breath was scorching the ground. Her gigantic body was causing the nearby buildings to shake and even collapse just by causing an earthquake. At this moment, everyone in the distance was looking at the red dragon in fear. It seemed that after this incident, Little Red's reputation as an evil dragon would never be washed away.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw another target of her anger. Molly, who was tightly bound and crawling away like a caterpillar. And so, Little Red laughed.
Alright then, what followed next was probably her daily routine of eating, sleeping, and beating up Molly.
