Chapter 209 Requiem for Death
Hot, so hot.
The moment he bit off the dragon's heart, the strong and suffocating fishy smell filled his nasal cavity. The still beating heart transported hot blood, flooding the throat, rushing straight to the stomach, and then spreading to the limbs.
It was as if he had swallowed a ball of fire, and he lost the pain wherever he went, as if there was nothing below his body. After his whole body was swallowed, even his brain made a "buzzing" sound and completely lost its response.
The clothes covering Shuoyue's body spontaneously combusted, and his skin cracked inch by inch as if it was baked dry. Bright red blood oozed out of the cracks, emitting hot steam, covering the boy's naked body.
"Tick, tick, tick."
Just a few drops of red liquid fell on the material where Shuoyue was sitting, which triggered an extremely violent mysterious reaction. The properties of the material itself were brutally destroyed, and in the midst of it, new laws were established in the interior, and the mysterious changes were even fed back to the outer layer, making all the materials present the same color and the same fluctuation.
Such changes also occurred in Shuoyue's body. The weak human physique thrived under the watering of dragon blood, and the dragon factor spread throughout Shuoyue's body like cancer cells, transforming him into an inhuman existence.
But with the operation of the ritual array, the factor symbolizing the attribute of "dragon" was gathered into the beating heart, and the excess was emitted through the skin, turning into a faint blood mist around Shuoyue and being absorbed by the materials placed under the body.
——Absolutely no weaknesses.
This is the principle that Shuoyue finally determined after careful consideration.
In the magic world, the extremely precious dragon heart actually has two ways to use.
The first is to swallow it directly and turn into a dragon itself, possessing the physique of a high-level fantasy species while inheriting the attributes of a dragon, such as Siegrud's dragon species transformation.
The second is not to eat the dragon heart, but to bathe in the heart blood, thereby obtaining a nearly immortal body and greatly improving defense, such as Siegfried's evil dragon blood armor.
In fact, both of them will be transformed by the Dragon Heart, thus being infected with the attributes of the dragon.
Looking at the many servants on the Throne of Heroes, the so-called dragon attribute is a double-edged sword like the divinity. It has a high-quality increase and a fatal weakness at the same time.
Nothing else, there are too many heroes with dragon-slaying stories. Once they meet opponents with dragon attributes, they will be overwhelmingly disadvantaged, even if their own strength is greatly exceeded, there is a risk of capsizing.
But the enhancement of the Dragon Heart is too good to be refused at all-so Shuoyue finally found a way after several days of investigation.
The heroes of the year were not alchemists, and the Dragon Heart was not a frozen collection, so the heroes could only strike while the iron was hot, learn from Bear Grylls' advanced spirit to eat it raw, or soak in a hot spring while it was hot.
But Shuoyue is different. First, he knew that he would get the Dragon Heart. Second, the Dragon Heart was also stored in the Destiny Atlas, so there was no need to worry about the "shelf life" problem, so he had enough time to prepare and maximize the benefits.
The final result is such a special state.
[Heroic Spirit Panel Updated]
[New Skill Acquired: Dragon Seed Transformation·Revised! ]
[Dragon Seed Transformation·Revised: The ultimate self-transformation achieved by swallowing the heart of a dragon. A magic furnace core similar to that of a dragon seed is formed, which not only improves all-round capabilities, but also has extremely strong endurance. At the same time, because the dragon factor is forced into the heart and suppressed, the enhancement value is reduced, and the dragon attribute is lost, but the essence and appearance are still changed. ]
[However, the hero swallowed the "heart of the red dragon". Was it because he envied the posture of the dragon, or did he want to better catch such a beautiful dragon in his hands? ]
"You are also a complainer, you are worthy of it, Destiny Illustrated Book..." Shuoyue forced himself to suppress the desire to complain. At this time, the numbness and burning sensation had dissipated. He slowly opened his eyes, like a giant dragon that had just awakened, exhaling a long breath.

Looking at the slightly changed panel values, the boy with golden vertical pupils and a fierce look was at a loss.
“Other ability parameters are understandable... but why did the luck value drop! Brother Xiao spent a lot of effort to improve the luck value back then! I won’t follow in his footsteps, right?!”
“Also, what the hell is the skill of Red-Faced Boy... Why are there so many plus signs? Why don’t you just become A-level?”
After complaining vigorously, Shuoyue shook off the blood scabs on his body, activated the third method the moment his skin was exposed, and put on an elegant platinum dress for himself.
Then, the platinum-colored young dragon sitting on the treasure mountain looked down, and the moment he saw the magicians breaking in, his pupils stood up, exuding the aura of a superior predator.
"I am the bone of my sword."
The spell triggered the magic power, and the cold-glowing weapons gathered at a faster speed, piercing through the body of the magician in the front row, and then stabbed into the ground, forming a pile of swords like an iron wall.
Ignoring the screaming magicians, Shuoyue touched the countless materials stained with dragon blood, and two swords appeared in his hands, and began to carve the required parts.
The fish-scale spruce from the cold highlands was integrated with the roots of the spirits of the earth to make a soundboard.
A ray of fire taken from the treasure 'Sul-sagana' melted the sacred steel that emitted a swaying light like the aurora, and the original armor worn by the legendary Valkyries was forged by skillful hands; with the thousand-year-old wood watered with dragon blood, a series of parts including cast iron brackets, soundboards, strings, and pegs were formed.
The dragon teeth stained with precious dragon blood were carved into precise piano keys, and the fragments of brilliant stars that seemed to be hanging in the night sky were integrated into the pedal system, giving the instrument a real soul.
——After almost exhausting all the resources at hand, what Shuoyue got was a dragon blood creation whose mystery was comparable to the treasure of the Age of Gods.
It was made of materials that had been bathed in dragon blood. While they had a harmonious rhythm, they would not lose their characteristics. Therefore, the triangle shape was bathed in the light of the Milky Way. The black and white keys had the warmth of dragon teeth and high magic adaptability. The parts resonated slightly with each other, and the sound of dragon roars was heard.
The piano that was completed by Shuoyue alone was known as the "king of musical instruments", and it was also a grand piano with both beauty and solemnity.
The iron wall spread by the sword blade was already crumbling, but the young man turned his back to the door and put his hands on the keys.
The next moment, imaginary particles flowed, weaving into hundreds of strings that intertwined with each other, weaving everything that produced fluctuations into the thread of fate.
The pure dreamlike sound sounded.
Listen, that is the requiem played by the god of death.
