Chapter 11: Chapter 11: The Awakening of Bloodline Power Chapter 11: Chapter 11: The Awakening of Bloodline Power For Muria, who is still in the baby dragon phase or what one might call the infant stage, his current life is quite tedious and dull. Every day after waking up, he would routinely check on the incubation status of the red dragon eggs.

As lifecycle of a creature that spans thousands of years, a baby dragon spends quite a long time inside an egg shell. Therefore, Muria couldn’t expect the red dragon eggs to hatch in a short span of time.

Every day, the six red dragon eggs would leisurely absorb fire elements provided by the magic array. Muria would check if the magic crystals that provided the fire elements were depleted, and if they were, he would replace them.

His routine currently consisted of eating, sleeping, reading, and occasionally replacing the fire element crystals in the incubation array. This was Muria’s life now.

The sun would rise and then fall. Time was continuously passing. The Golden Dragon Mother was still sleeping, showing no signs of awakening. The unfortunate red dragon couple remained bound in the hall. Luckily, there were Dragonborn Maids providing them with food and drink, so they wouldn’t starve; they couldn’t possibly die of hunger.

Muria’s body was continuously growing. He could feel himself becoming stronger. With the passage of time, some special changes also appeared in his body.

Muria found that when he exhaled or breathed heavily, he would occasionally expel small wind blades from his nose or mouth. A few days later, after choking slightly during a meal, golden thunderbolts and flames erupted from Muria’s mouth, burning the food in his mouth into black charcoal.

“Thunderbolts, hurricane, and flames,” Muria said with a proud smile. “Finally, the power of Titan and the Golden Dragon within me has awakened.”

“Young Master Muria, congratulations. Lord Ansalor’s power and the master’s power have been perfectly manifested in you,” Sophia, who had been taking care of Muria’s daily life, said with a truly joyful smile on her face.

Unfortunately, Muria’s sense of pride didn’t last long. He couldn’t perfectly control the power he had just gained. When he ate, he would frequently and unconsciously turn the food in front of him into charcoal or a pile of minced meat. As a result, he had to spend more time filling his stomach.

As for when he was reading, although power leakage would also occur unconsciously, nothing harmful happened. Firstly, the books Muria read were generally made of metal or special leather. Secondly, all these books were protected by an array set up by the Golden Dragon Mother, so no destructive incidents occurred.

As time, like rushing rapids, surged forward, Muria’s power became stronger and stronger, whether it was his physical strength or the power of thunder, wind and fire that he mastered.

According to Sophia, by the standards of Elasia, his power had already reached the standard of Silver Rank 1. This rank was what most adventurers in Elasia pursued in their lifetime. However, Muria was just eating, drinking and reading to reach it.

What a pity that Muria didn’t care because Silver Rank was nothing more than his starting point. In the future, even Legend Rank might not be his end. Muria was very clear about this.

One day, Muria was holding a book and reading. By then, about seven years had passed since he had hatched, and his height had reached seven meters just like his age. He still looked like a chubby baby dragon with wings, just not as chubby as before.

The book he was reading was among the pile of books about dragon eggs that Sophia had found two years ago. Muria didn’t let Sophia put the books back because he was just killing time by reading the books; it didn’t matter what kind of books they were.

However, unfortunately, Muria didn’t notice the strange look Sophia gave him while he was reading. He didn’t realize how odd it was for a youngling to read books about dragon eggs every day for two years.

“Grumble.” A very loud noise came from Muria’s stomach. He looked down at his stomach, then turned toward Sophia with no change of expression.

The head maid frowned. Muria’s lifestyle was quite regular, but today, Muria’s meal time had to be moved up. She couldn’t ask Muria to wait to eat on time because her young master was hungry now.

She waved her hand to the two maids behind her, asking them to bring up Muria’s food for the day.

When a marine fish that was eight meters long and cooked until it smelled delicious was brought up, Muria, who could hardly endure any longer, threw down the book in his hand without a second thought, grabbed the fish and started eating. He paid no attention to the manners Sophia had been teaching him painstakingly for two years.

Under the gaze of the stunned maid head Sophia, in just a few breaths, Muria had gnawed half of the fish down to the bones. That was an incredibly fast eating speed.

Maid head Sophia did not correct Muria’s manners. As the chief steward of a golden dragon, she understood what was happening. The blonde dragonkin girl turned around and loudly ordered the maids who were dumbfounded at the door:
“Go inform all the cooks in the castle, tell them that Young Master Muria is about to go into his sleeping period, order them all to the kitchen to cook, and no one is allowed to stop without my order. Also, have a squad of maids stand by outside the kitchen, ready to carry plates.”

“Yes, Miss Sophia.” The two maids at the door were taken aback but then excitedly went to convey the head maid’s order. They were happy about Muria’s upcoming sleeping period because in their eyes, Young Master Muria was very gentle and kind-hearted, making him a young master who they were willing to serve.

The dragon maids of the castle displayed an astonishing efficiency. Before Muria gnawed the large fish in his hands down to the bones, teams of two dragon maids appeared before him, carrying silver trays full of delicious food.

Muria blanked out for a moment, then urged by the hunger in his body, he focused on eating.

Eat! Eat! Eat! He kept eating! Muria didn’t know how much he had eaten, he only knew that he could gnaw a giant sea fish, the same size as his body, down to a pile of white bones in three minutes. The dragon maids in front of him were replaced batch by batch, coming with silver trays of food and leaving with piles of bones.

This was an eating fest Muria had never experienced before, it lasted a full six hours. The discarded bones from the consumed food could pile up to a mountain. When he no longer felt hungry, Muria collapsed to the ground. Subsequently, the sound of thunder cracked.

It wasn’t that Muria was snoring, but genuine tiny golden thunderbolts that sparkled around his nostrils, then spread across his body.

Sophia walked over to Muria’s body. She looked at this super-sized seven-meter long giant baby, then she extended her white hand, touching Muria. The golden thunderstorm hit her seemingly soft and boneless hand without leaving any injuries.

The blonde Dragonborne Head Maid demonstrated her superhuman strength. She lifted Muria from the waist, walking on air as if it were solid ground, and placed him on the bed.

Inside the room, the maids tidying up didn’t find this surprising or react. It was a very normal thing for the Head Maid and the Chief Steward in the Legendary Gold Dragon Castle to have formidable strength. It’s just that Muria hadn’t had the chance to witness it yet.

He should’ve known, for it was this maid who accompanied him to confront a mature Red Dragon two years ago. If Sophia didn’t have a formidable backing of strength, she should’ve stopped Muria back then.

The Crystal Castle of the Golden Dragon Mother plunged into a tranquil atmosphere because all the masters of the castle were asleep. Only the occasional sounds of the Dragon Maids’ visits broke the silence.

…

A year passed swiftly again. Muria, who was in deep sleep for a year, opened his golden eyes, touched his black hair, and sat up.

At the same time, the thunderbolts that had flashed on his body for a whole year disappeared. The thunderbolts had been refining his body, strengthening his physique, and enhancing his power during Muria’s hibernation period.

“Crack! Crack!” Muria twisted his neck, looking at Sophia who had just received the notification from the Dragon Maid at his door and came to his room: “How long have I slept this time?”

Muria, who had received the heritage memory of the Dragon Race, of course, knew about his situation. He stood up, walked in front of the full-length mirror in the room, and looked at the giant figure that was already eight-meter-tall and looked like a young child in the mirror.

“You only slept for a year,” Sophia looked at Muria’s body. “Your early awakening is a bit unexpected for me.”

“A year, huh?” Muria pondered, “For a true dragon, a hibernation of a year is a short time, but I only have half of the Golden Dragon’s lineage, the dragon’s hibernation time is just a reference.”

“Mr. Muria, have you gained anything from this hibernation?”

“Gains?” Muria smiled, “Further accepted the heritage knowledge of the Titan Tribe and the Gold Dragon Clan, of course, the most important thing is this.”

Speaking, Muria turned his body, opened his palm, a lightning sphere with a diameter of one meter composed of golden thunderstorms appeared on his already thinner palm. The lightning sphere then collapsed and countless golden lightnings drilled back into his body.

Then, a terrifyingly HOT, golden Fireball appeared in Muria’s hand. This fireball, composed of the Dragon Flames exclusive to the Golden Dragon, could completely dazzle a bunch of mages who liked to play with fireballs with its formidable power.

Finally, the Dragon Flame Fireball was squeezed by Muria into a small cluster and swallowed down in one gulp, while a wind wall composed of transparent wind blades emerged, uttering a “whoosh” wind howling sound.

“My bloodline woke up one step further, I became stronger, and I can now control these powers very freely.” Muria bragged a bit to Sophia.

Sophia smiled. Just as she was about to compliment Muria’s strength.

“Crack!” A sound of something hard breaking was heard, instantly, both of their eyes were pointed towards the Red Dragon Egg in the room.
