The Black Dragon had been resting quietly in the courtyard when it suddenly felt a wave of immense force wash over it. A mysterious beam struck the creature with absolute precision. Almost immediately, the dragon’s frame began to tremble violently, as if a boundless reservoir of energy were being surged into its being. Its muscles surged in size, its bones audibly cracked, and its entire physique ballooned at a breathtaking pace.
Alongside this physical expansion, the Black Dragon underwent a fearsome metamorphosis. Its previously docile expression twisted into a savage and daunting mask. Sharp fangs protruded from its maw, casting a chilling aura, while its eyes glowed with a predatory, cold light that betrayed a hint of bloodlust. Its talons grew sharper, appearing capable of slicing through reinforced steel as if it were parchment. The scales covering its hide hardened, shimmering with a dark, metallic luster that made it look nearly invulnerable.
Within moments, the standard Black Dragon had evolved into a gargantuan beast. It stood proud in the center of the courtyard, lifting its head high and unfurling massive wings as it emanated a dominating pressure. Lin Yuan watched the spectacle, his excitement obvious. He clapped his hands and exclaimed, “This is remarkable! Such a drastic evolution in such a short window! The dragon has grown enormous, and its combat strength has clearly multiplied.”
He then turned to Lu Yu with a relieved sigh, adding, “It is fortunate that this staff didn't fall into the hands of our enemies. If they had the ability to enlarge their entire army, our humble Jasper City would have had no hope of survival.” Lu Yu tightened his grip on the beautiful, mysterious sapphire staff, his eyes locked on the artifact as if he could tap into its ancient reservoir of wisdom and strength. The giant gemstone embedded within it resembled a sparkling star, casting a hypnotic radiance.
Each flicker of light seemed like an entire galaxy, pulsating with potent, arcane energy. Intricately carved runes, resembling tadpoles, spiraled across the sapphire, arranged in a pattern that hinted at profound power. Every time Lu Yu studied these symbols, he felt a faint resonance from the distant past. “You are right. We are lucky they failed to secure it. However, I doubt they will retreat so easily. They won’t abandon their plans this quickly. It is entirely possible their forces will look for an opportunity to assault us. If they do not, all our prior preparations will have been for nothing.”
Lin Yuan nodded in agreement. “True, the likelihood of a continued assault remains high. If you can project enough strength now, you might force them to back down.” Lu Yu looked at the staff with a determined expression, eager to explore its potential. He would not, however, use it on every dragon; he preferred to focus on his Dark Poison Dragon, Nightmare Dragon, and Charm Dragon. Enlarging his other spirit dragons might trigger unforeseen complications, especially since those three were already quite substantial.
With the staff in hand, Lu Yu decided to empower his Dark Poison Dragon and evaluate its results. He summoned the beast, and a deafening roar shattered the silence of the courtyard. A colossal poison dragon, draped in dark green plates, manifested before them. It was a formidable sight, its massive bulk resembling a shifting mountain. The most distinctive feature was a heavy tail hammer composed entirely of venom glands. A foul odor instantly saturated the air—a sickening stench that induced instant dizziness, as if one had been struck by a potent toxin. It was clear that being bitten or sprayed by this creature would leave a foe with catastrophic consequences. Clearly, this Ferocious Poison Dragon reigned supreme among its kind, standing as an impenetrable deterrent.
Lin Yuan nodded, clearly impressed. “As expected of a dragon summoned by Lu Yu. It is truly extraordinary. It is far from an ordinary beast; it possesses a unique and formidable power.” Lu Yu held the staff steady, aiming it directly at the creature. A surge of raw energy erupted from the tip in a brilliant beam, striking the dragon like a bolt of lightning. Immediately, the dragon’s body swelled as it absorbed the endless power. Muscles bulged like inflated tires, and its sturdy scales hardened further, reflecting a cold, metallic sheen. The beast let out a deafening roar, its teeth bared and its aura growing increasingly savage.
The sheer intimidation factor of the creature skyrocketed, leaving everyone watching in stunned silence. Even Lin Yuan instinctively backed away, his heart hammering against his ribs in response to the dragon’s crushing presence. “Such a fierce dragon—after this augmentation, it is bound to be terrifying! Lu Yu, if you deploy this beast during the battle, the results will be devastating,” Lin Yuan said excitedly. Lu Yu nodded slowly, his eyes fixed on the dragon. “Its strength has undoubtedly risen. I intend to test its limits. We will use the Demon Lord Abyss’s army as our practice targets; they are more than qualified for such a purpose.” He gracefully leapt onto the dragon’s broad back, where there was ample room to move, and prepared for takeoff as the beast flapped its wings, ready to ascend.
