Chapter 1304: Chaos Scale Shield
"Smells like an apple." Kent sniffed the fruit. "I wonder if it would taste like one."
Obviously, Kent couldn’t wait long enough to taste it. His gluttony knows no bounds. So he placed it in his mouth and bit into it, taking a rather large chunk.
"Mmmmhhh, just like an apple." He savoured the taste, letting it slowly spread through his mouth and down his stomach. He quickly added the remaining half of the fruit.
In no time, he had devoured the whole fruit. However, to his disappointment, he only chewed for a fraction of a second since the fruit betrayed him by dissolving.
Although this is his soul sea, he expected to at least have the moment to further taste the fruit, feel the texture in his teeth and let the chewing take him to places he had never been before.
But that was cut short.
[The master could have just placed the fruit in his mouth, and it would have dissolved. No need to bite and attempt to chew.]
"Tsk," Kent said nothing but only waited for the essence in the fruit to take effect. The Tower seem to be growing stubborn lately.
Soon, however, the effect of eating the fruit happened as he expected. A green panel flashed across his vision.
[Congratulations on awakening an Innate Bloodline Skill. Name: Chaos Scale Shield]
Kent stared at the message with a calm expression for a few minutes before, like a child, he exclaimed happily.
"YESSSSSS!"
He almost jumped up from sheer excitement reading the message before him. Obviously, what he had received was something he most certainly was looking forward to, even if he didn’t know what would come today.
He had no idea what innate bloodline skill was contained in any of the fruits, not even Tower did, so he merely ate it and hoped for the best.
However, now it seems the skill he had received is something he was actually thrilled to have awakened.
Naturally, his exicitement run deeper than he is letting on. He, after all, had used this innate skill before.
He had seen what the [Chaos Scale Shield] is capable of from the memories of the Chaos Dragon.
Back then, when he buried Elina and reverted to his cold, chaotic self, he ventured into the Blood System, where his ascension to become one of the strongest people to ever appear during the Primordial Era began.
Chaos wanted to accomplish many things before leaving the Blood System.
One of those things was shedding his scale.
However, to do that, he must form his Chaos Heart, which, from what he knew, would call down the first Dragon Tribulation.
Passing that tribulation would finally allow him to shed his scales and form new ones.
However, from what he learned about Dragon Tribulation, the stronger the dragon, the more dangerous their tribulation — and well, Chaos was the strongest of them, so he knew he had to prepare.
It was through preparation that he awakened the defensive skill he would use for the rest of his stay in the Blood System and for the rest of his life.
That shield had broken the resolve of many tanks/brutes, and it had saved him countless times. That shield is the Chaos Scale Shield, an innate defensive skill.
[Name: Chaos Scale Shield]
[Grade: Innate]
[Mastery: Perfection+]
[Description: Shield formed from the reinforced scales of the Primordial Chaos Dragon...]
"Vague as ever, but this is what makes it fun and overpowered." Kent extended his hand, and triangular golden scales with red runes littering their surfaces appeared and began stacking themselves, forming a large shield.
His mastery is Perfection+ thanks to Chaos.
At first, it formed into a triangle-shaped shield. Then it reformed into a square, a rectangle, a pentagon, a hexagon, and many other shapes.
It reformed into any shape Kent wanted and could envision.
"Flawless as ever."
The brat was super happy, and that could be seen from the way he was manipulating the scales to form crazy-shaped shields.
"Oh, the look on that mountain king’s face was when his axe broke from a single attack to the Chaos Scale Shield." Kent laughed, imagining the horrified, stunned, and impressed expression that appeared on a certain mountain king’s face.
When this Mountain King heard Chaos was rampaging through the Blood System, he became pissed that someone was stealing the spotlight from him.
So, with his overinflated ego, he came challenging Chaos to a death duel, only for him to break his weapon on the first attack.
In the end, Chaos let him go. Later, they met again, but instead of challenging Chaos again, he tried to suck up to him.
Chaos, of course, had no intention of giving him any attention since he was on a mission.
"I wonder if that bastard survived the Primordial Era. It would be good to break his resolve again. Ah, what a sight that would be."
Far away in an unknown ruin, locked in a cave reinforced by a Tier 89 formation, a burly man sneezes, his expression cold... "As if my situation isn’t pitiful already, some bastard out there is already plotting against me."
He turns and looks at a series of paintings on the wall, and a pale smile appears on his face. "We will meet again, old friend. I hope you are still the same as before." He grinned and added, "Ah, what a sight that would be after I shatter that shield of yours...finally"
SNEEZE
Kent also sneezed, feeling a chill run down his spine. "Tsk, I wonder which bastard is plotting against me."
He wipes the idea from his mind and continues to transform his shield instead.
After he had had enough, he formed a single seal, and the scales flew and merged with his body. At once, his cloak-like armour transformed into dragon armour with a stylish reddish-gold design.
"Still the most beautiful armour there is." Kent grinned.
Even if it isn’t, considering the Soul Sentinel was crowned as the one with the most beautiful armour in the universe, as long as it makes him happy, the Chaos Dragon has the most beautiful armour.
But while he is exaggerating the beauty of his armour, looking at the armour that still feels like cotton but now has the pattern of a dragon, one can tell it is indeed beautiful and very powerful.
Kent summoned 1000 blood runes and made them merge with the armour. The moment they did, he felt like he had become indestructible.
One thing that made the Chaos Scale Shield indestructible is the fact that he can merge the blood runes with it, creating a rather overpowered augmentation.
"This also means I can augment Gaap with both the Chaos Scale Shield and the blood runes. There are even my dragon claws... As long as it is soul-linked to me, the sky is the limit."
Kent turned and looked at the Bloodline Skill Tree, and a smile formed on his lips. "This is the best gift for my first time plucking a fruit from you. I only ask one thing, and that is to keep blessing me with overpowered skills."
[Congratulations to the master. Now, I think the master is ready for the temple masters. I, for one, would love to see this skill at play.]
"Same here, Tower."
Kent deactivated the Chaos Scale Shield and reached for the second ripped fruit.
