DING!

[You have leveled up to Level 40!]
[Congratulations! You have unlocked Demon Bloodline Racial Trait: Fear Projection!]
>Fear Projection: You can instinctively induce terror in lesser beings.
[Congratulations! You have unlocked Dragon Bloodline Racial Trait: Flight!]
>Flight: You are no longer a Juvenile Dragon, you are now an Adult Dragon and with this development, you have gained access to fully developed Dragon Wings and anti-gravity qi.
...
CRACK!
The metamorphosis started immediately as a loud cracking sound reverberated from Julian’s back. His upper back hunched slightly and visibly squirmed under his armor, and then... BOOM!
Two thick leathery dark red wings burst out of his upper back, unfurling like the gliders of an aircraft.
They were Dragon Wings!
Each wing was almost 3 meters long, and together, they formed fully developed Dragon Wings that made Julian’s presence seem even more intimidating and whole, and then came the projection...
BZZZ!
Hit by his aura, Theodore was forced to stumble back with a look of fear and terror on her face as she looked at the Demon that was now hovering in mid-air with his massive leathery dark red wings unfurled.
Across miles, none of the Qi Beasts who survived the slaughter dared to make a sound as they all trembled inside their caves when subjected to the aura of the Adult Dragon now in their midst.
Theodore also shuddered. "H-he’s recovering..." she mumbled in slight fear and awe.
Floating in the sky, Julian looked at his wings with a cold and impassive look on his face but inside, he was doing a happy jump.
’Finally, another Dragon bloodline trait!’
Besides, for the first time, he got a bloodline trait that synchronized with a similar trait that he already got earlier from another bloodline of his.
Originally, he was always in control of his Dominion Aura.
The reason why he briefly lost control and Theodore became intimidated was because the moment his Demon bloodline unlocked the Fear Projection trait, it caused a chain reaction as the trait synchronized with his Dominion Aura.
Both traits synchronized, elevating each other to form a new and even more terrifying aura projection ability.
Julian felt his entire being brimming with power.
This was exactly why Julian came to Dragon’s Tooth, to train and get EXP and get stronger, and the changes were not over yet. They continued.

~----~
The stronger an Awakened gets, the harder it is to level up.
Well, this rule of Gomorra had never been more truthful for Julian at this moment as he realized that he needed a whopping 380+ billion EXP to level up to Level 42.
Though he was almost there already, Julian could not help but think about future levels and about how much EXP it would take for him to level up then.
He looked to the 36th level of the mountain that was already partially part of the clouds in the sky.
Here, the cold and humidity were extreme and inhumane.
’There’s no shortcut,’ Julian sighed. ’The best shortcut is the Debauchery System. Unlike other Awakened who only get EXP directly from kills, I also get EXP rewards from the system too which should have doubled my growth speed’.
’But unlike other Awakened, the combination of my Demon and Dragon Bloodlines mean that I need far more EXP than anybody else’.
He frowned slightly, but then he relaxed his expression, letting his face turn cold and impassive again as he finally spent all his accumulated DP.
DING!

Julian finally descended from the sky where he levitated having gotten grasp of his anti-gravity qi already.
His qi now had double properties of infernal hellfire and anti-gravity.
After descending from the sky, Julian looked at his massive wings and with a thought, the thick leathery wings retracted inside him and disappeared almost like they were not just there a second ago.
Seeing this, Theodore blinked and finally she found the courage to walk forward and take her place beside Lord Zaratul again.
She cleared her truth. "My Lord, congratulations, you seem to have recovered a bit more of your power".
Julian looked at her and grinned, then he nodded. "Yes. I feel better than I’ve felt since I awoke from my slumber".
Julian raised his head and looked up at the 36th level of the tall mountain that was waiting for them above, teeming with powerful Qi Beasts.
He activated Qi Sight and observed for a few seconds, then he turned and faced Theodore. "From here on out, it’s going to become truly dangerous, are you up for the task?"
Theodore nodded seriously. "Your will is my command," her eyes gleamed with bloodlust. "I will do everything to keep up and not let you down".
"Good", Julian nodded, then he grabbed Theodore by the shoulders.
Before she could know what was happening, Julian’s massive wings unfurled out of his back again as he flapped them, rising against gravity and flying skywards towards the 36th level of the tall mountain.
Instead of teleporting there this time, having just unlocked his Dragon Wings, Julian decided to experiment with flight.
And just as he expected, flying through the boundless skies filled him with a sense of freedom, euphoria and adventure.
After arriving at the sky above the 36th level, facing a rocky terrain of countless small rocks and hills, Julian casually threw Theodore down then he folded his wings and dove down from the sky.
Within 2 seconds, he broke the sound barrier!
KABOOM!
