I Am Not A Goblin Slayer

Gauss launched some missiles, striking the Blue Dragon’s corpse.

Then, he maneuvered Bigby’s Hand to flip the Blue Dragon’s body, examining it inside and out.

Once he confirmed it was completely dead, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Under normal circumstances, after the Monster Atlas pops up with a kill notification, there’s no need for an additional inspection step.

But since there was an anomaly that time in Eden, Gauss had to be more cautious, even if it meant spending a bit more time to confirm.

After confirmation, he immediately released the Dragon and Ghost Contract’s enhancement.

"Whew!"

He let out a breath.

Strength was rapidly draining from his body.

He felt an unusual sensation of weakness.

Fortunately, this feeling of weakness was merely an adjustment to the perception of suddenly becoming weaker.

This time, the expense brought by the Dragon and Ghost Contract was far less than expected.

And the main credit went to the bloodline power absorbed from the True Dragon, which allowed him to recover some of the expenditure during the battle.

After adjusting his physical state, he looked at the Adventurer’s Handbook.

"Extraordinary Path: Kill 5 types of Extraordinary Level demons (4/5). Reward: Randomly select a racial talent from an Extraordinary Level demon."

"Since you killed a Legendary race creature, the True Dragon, the title [True Dragon Slayer] has been upgraded (4/∞), your attacks on True Dragons will become stronger, and there’s a small chance of inflicting true damage special to the Dragon Race."

"Purple quality racial talent [Dragon Kind] is absorbing the energy of the bloodline..."

"..."

The Blue Dragon also successfully became one of the choices in his Extraordinary Talent pool.

And then...

After the temporary weakness from releasing the enhanced state, Gauss quickly sensed an unprecedented surge of blood energy pouring into his body from all directions.

"So hot!"

"Whew!"

Gauss raised an eyebrow.

He found that the air he exhaled was scorching, even giving off a mist.

This absorption of bloodline seemed different from before.

Was it because the bloodline power of this young Blue Dragon was stronger? Or did it mean...

A look of joy appeared on Gauss’s face.

In his perception, the [Dragon Kind] bloodline power within him was circulating with unprecedented strength.

The organ akin to a miniaturized Giant Dragon Heart was persistently and powerfully pumping scalding blood to every part of his body.

It was like a flower budding for years finally starting to bloom within him.

"Thump!!"

"Thump!!"

Gauss’s heartbeat was clearly audible.

The sound of the beats quickly passed through the surrounding air, not loud yet effortlessly penetrating obstacles along the way, reaching kilometers away, where everyone could hear that powerful rhythm.

"Thump!"

Hephaestus, licking the blood at its mouth, curiously raised its head towards the sound.

Realizing the source was Gauss, a mix of understanding and curiosity flashed across its face.

What big event is the master brewing this time?

As a Giant Dragon, its perception of Dragon Race bloodline was far sharper than other creatures.

Thus, it could clearly sense, even from nearly three kilometers away, that the Dragon Race bloodline within Gauss was growing stronger at a pace even exceeding its own.

That aura stirred memories of its fleeting glimpse of its mother in its youth.

Is the master really turning into a Giant Dragon?

Hephaestus couldn’t help but let its imagination run wild, with a tinge of anticipation flickering in its heart.

The only regret it harbored was that Gauss didn’t have a vast and beautiful Dragon body like its own.

If the master also possessed a Giant Dragon’s body, he would become a perfect being.

Outside the valley, the massacre by the clay creatures Gauss had unleashed was nearing its end.

The last relatively large Jackal-Wolf People tribe was fiercely resisting the merging clay army.

As they fought bloodily, "Thump!"

A powerful and majestic sound, sounding like the drums played by gods in the heavens, resonated beside their ears!

"Thump!"

They felt an overbearing force gripping their entire bodies, soon rendering them weak.

In this mysterious "drumbeat," the remaining fighting strength of the Jackal-Wolf People quietly dissolved.

The battlefield turned one-sided in an instant.

...

And as the source of everything, Gauss was immersed in the wondrous experience of rapidly growing stronger.

Each heartbeat’s pulse brought enhancements to various parts of his body.

His blood was being swiftly purified!

The vast amount of blood circulating at high speed was being refined into more concentrated true blood.

Usually, if this process continued at such efficiency, Gauss would soon become nothing more than a dried-up corpse.

Fortunately, his entire body was also producing new blood at maximum efficiency.

Blood creation, purification, recreation, repurification...

Within just a minute, his entire blood had been completely replaced several times.

The newly created blood, imbued with magic power, collided and enhanced other organs and tissues within his body.

Like a skilled craftsman was forging his body.

The first to change were his blood vessels, which grew more resilient under the relentless washing of his blood.

"Thump!"

With the next strike, his bones emitted a subtle tremor.

Gauss slightly furrowed his brow.

The hardening and strengthening of his bones brought about a tingling sensation of pain.

"Thump!"

Gauss floated in mid-air.

Another deep heart beat.

This time, with Gauss at the center, rubble within a hundred-meter radius began to slightly tremble.

Fine dust and sand, as if drawn by some invisible force, gently levitated, vibrating in mid-air as if they were worshipping an unseen center.

Hephaestus flew several hundred meters away from Gauss to protect him.

It slightly bent its forelimbs, with golden vertical pupils reflecting the image of Gauss.
