Chapter 828 Awakened Dark Dragon

"D-Did you tell him what you wanted?" Asked Nifl. "Why so secretive about it?"

"It is a special secret between grandmother and grandson, do not get involved, my dear sister." Said Svartalf with a smile.

"Mother you're filled with mysteries… Ah, I bet it is about books, huh?" Asked Fafnir. Despite being quite odd sometimes, he knew his mother very well.

"That is not what I asked for…" Said Svartalf, quickly gazing elsewhere due to being terrible at lying. "I definitely did not asked for books, son."

Yep, grandma, you're terribly bad at lying.

"Anyways! It is time to awaken the "dark side" of your bloodline, as we say." Said Svartalf, she looked into my eyes and quickly told me to concentrate into a single point within my soul. "Concentrate within a single point in your soul, a black speck of nothingness that is sealed away…"

Her consciousness suddenly dived into my own soul, as I felt dozens of shadow tentacles wrapping around my soul, and then, reaching somewhere so deep I had never touched before. In that place, there were several chains made of shadows, which she quickly broke and shattered.

After that, nothing seemed to have happened. It was as if nothing changed at all, when the chains broke, the soul was the same, and what was revealed was just a little bit more of divine power for free but nothing at all other than that-

FLAs.h.!.+

Well, I was terrible wrong to a.s.sume that a second after, my soul strangely distorted, the speck she asked me to concentrate into began to grow bigger as it spiraled into a strange black hole, quickly escalating out of proportion, now this was quite ridiculous.

The darkness continued to spread and formed several rivers of obscurity, coursing through my soul and then I felt them right into my body while I slept over the bed, embraced by Miranda and Benladann. I didn't wanted to scare them so I quickly did something, putting a bit of my consciousness into my body and walking out of the bed, flying out of the castle, and reaching far into the gra.s.slands.

In here, I was able to awaken my darkness finally fully without problems. The obscurity formed by the black hole spread out like many rivers, as I saw these rivers enhancing my entire body. I quickly turned into my truest dragon form to see, with the various heads and silver scales, and found my body mutating and transforming. Black scales emerged and bone-like growths appeared as well, I slightly looked like I did before becoming multi-headed. This wasn't a permanent form as I had the power of shapes.h.i.+fting, but seemed like a powered-up form that enhanced darkness above everything else… I had gained several other traits similar to my father, as tentacles grew over my back and I had now several eyes growing across my body. It was gross yet fascinating.

Ding!

[You gained +250000 Divine Power]

[You have unlocked the [Darkness] within your Bloodline]

[New Main Divinity has become available within the Divinity Shop]

[The [Darkness (D)] Affinity has been awakened into SS Rank!]

[You unlocked the [Dark Sun (A)] Divine Ability!]

Not only I gained a nice amount of Divine Power straight out of nowhere, but my affinity of darkness also went from D to SS! And to boot, I acquired a new Divine Ability completely for free?! What is this, this is amazing! Divine Abilities are different from mere magic as they can even wound G.o.ds, so if this one is offensive as I think, it might be of amazing potential.

[Dark Sun (A)]

A special Divine Ability that only a few of the strongest Dark Dragons possess. Within the interior of their souls, there's a gigantic and spiraling Dark Sun that constantly emits a primordial amount of darkness. This darkness can be controlled, different from common dark element, it possess the ability to drain the light of other elements and extinguish, all while possessing the capability of driving a target's mind into insanity. A large amount of practice and patience is required to master such a power, however. If used without care, it might backfire on the user.

Interesting. It seems to grant the power to wield a new type of "darkness" that can even extinguish other element's light? Kind of similar to Benladann's Chaos Magic, but at the same time more tame, I suppose. It also comes with the power to drive targets insane like darkness magic can do to those unprepared to wield it, that's interesting indeed. If a target has their guards lowered, receiving a giant attack using this darkness wouldn't be so bad to put them down.

I quickly decided to try out the Ability right away by using only Mana, covering my claws with this darkness. The darkness emerged like a phantasmal and miasmic substance that quickly began to blaze like a flame, the surroundings of this black fire distorted, as if it were even changing s.p.a.ce itself around the darkness. I quickly pointed the darkness towards a far away and inhabited mountain, and formed it into a large sphere of darkness, firing it towards that direction.

FLAAAAs.h.!.+

The black fireball flew at an incredibly fast pace, faster than I had imagined, and clashed against the mountain, consuming the entire thing with an enormous and single explosion that reverberated everything.

BOOOOOMMMM!!!

The darkness spread out, as the mountain suddenly showed up once more, but now, half of it was completely missing, as if a black hole just ate it away… And this was an attack only using Mana, I don't know how devastating it could be if I used Divine Power- Ugh?!

Suddenly, I felt slightly dizzy, as if my mind was being suddenly attacked by a slight fever. I calmed myself down and then looked into my own soul and body, it felt as if I received a burden, or something like a backlash. I suppose that's the "backlash" of using this power without enough practice? It wasn't much, but if I let it acc.u.mulate, it could acc.u.mulate and really become problematic. I better not abuse this power too much. But it works for a nice nuke I could throw into the face of my enemies.
