Chapter 254: Draconic Intelligence, And New Bloodline
Rael waited for a few moments, and soon, the pop-up he was waiting for appeared.
<Ding!>
<Your [Intelligence] stat has been converted into [Draconic Intelligence]>
<Draconic Intelligence>
1. Acts as Mana Points and Spell Power. Increases mental acuity slightly.
2. (NEW) New stat calculation: 1,000,000 Intelligence → 1 Draconic Intelligence
3. (NEW) You have learned every known ancient language there is.
4. (NEW) Partial fluency in the Dragon's tongue.
5. (NEW) You have gained access to the public Dragon Mind Palace. You may enter it and attempt to learn Draconic skills. Minimum Requirements: Draconic Bloodline.
It felt as if his mind had just been hit by a truck, as a bunch of memories came flooding in.
Random languages, chuuni poses, and cheesy phrasing. Basically everything that came with the package of being a dragon.
And after a few minutes, the pain went away, replaced by a soothing feeling in his mind.
He glanced through the Draconic Intelligence stat again, and the last part in particular caught his eye.
Bloodline, eh? I guess it is about time I used my Premium Inheritance perk.
But first, he decided to check out his stats.

•——•
At least they rounded it up, Rael thought as he let out a relieved breath.
His stats had increased by much more than he anticipated, but at least the Mana Trell Points calculation remained the same.
Just as he thought that was all, another pop-up appeared.
<Draconic Intelligence has unlocked new possibilities!>
<You may now purchase specialized stats from the Premium Shop>
"...?" Rael tilted his head. Specialized stats? Something like Draconic Intelligence?
With that, he opened the Premium Shop to check.

<Expand for more>
Alright... it's sure as shit expensive, Rael thought with a sigh as he closed the shop.
He might've had some cash lying around, but it definitely wasn't enough to buy any of those.
As for charisma? He didn't need it. He had Zafira.
He strolled around the boss room for a few moments, glancing at Mercurius, who was huddled up in a corner, punching the wall now and then.
Rael let out a chuckle, then used the Premium Inheritance perk.
<Premium Inheritance>
<Tier 1 ~ 10 Bloodlines available.>
<Would you like to view the bloodlines? Yes/No>
<Recommendation: To afford the Highest Tier bloodline, it is recommended the user saves up 1,000 Premium Coins (1 Trillion Trell)>
Yeah yeah...
<Ding!>
<Showing bloodlines in your price range!>
[Tier 5–6] Bloodlines:
Fairy Noble Bloodline: 4,000,000,000 Trell
Ifrit's Descendant Bloodline: 5,000,000,000 Trell
Lesser Frost Titan Bloodline: 8,000,000,000 Trell
Lesser Ancient Dragon Bloodline: 10,000,000,000 Trell
<Expand for more>
Of course, the last bloodline immediately piqued his interest, so he went ahead and inspected it.
Lesser Ancient Dragon Bloodline (Tier 6)
—You have inherited a fragment of a sleeping Primordial Dragon. Though diluted, its essence still thrums with ancient might, offering access to a draconic lineage unrecorded by the system.
—Special bonuses:

3. Bloodline Core (Locked)
The sealed Draconic Heart remains dormant. Requires full Dragon Awakening to access. Once unlocked, gain access to more of the bloodline's powers. Requirement: Draconic Intelligence: 50.
Rael didn't even need to ponder further as he went ahead and selected the bloodline.
<Do you wish to purchase [Lesser Ancient Dragon Bloodline] for 10,000,000,000 Trell?>
<Yes/No>
And of course, he bought it right away.
<Ding!>
<You have acquired the Lesser Ancient Dragon Bloodline!>
<Special bonuses and Effects have been granted!>
<Currently Active Bloodlines: 1 / ???>
It really is infinite, huh? I should stock up on some shit Tier 1 bloodlines later, Rael thought with a hum as his blood warmed up considerably, then cooled back down.
He didn't think much of it, and with that, he was done.
The dungeon was complete, and his stats rose considerably.
But as he looked around, he couldn't quite see a way out.
Then he remembered the key he had used to get inside here in the first place.
He thought he had dropped it, but coincidentally, it was stashed inside his inventory, so he took it out and used it to open the space in front of him.
"Bye, Mercurius. If this key doesn't disappear after I... hey..." Rael halted, his smirk widening. "You're my dungeon monster now, right?"
"What...?" Mercurius slowly tilted his head. "What are you planning this time, human?"
"I believe my country is in need of a mascot... so you're coming with me," Rael announced, and before Mercurius could retaliate, Rael appeared beside him, grabbed him by the scruff, then tossed him through the portal.
"Waaaaaaait!"
Rael chuckled and followed him, leaving the dungeon.
<You have left: Blue Dragon's Den [Level 1500–2000]>
Rael stepped out and inhaled deeply, taking in the pleasant scent of the cherry blossom trees.
Then came the constant dinging noises from Zafira spamming him.
"Hmm?"
But that wasn't all, as a golden pop-up appeared in front of him, causing his brows to furrow.
<World Broadcast!>
