423 Laex Wants to Show Off (1/2)
A Dragon pearl could be said to be both fantastic and useless at the same time. That's because other than dragonkin, no other race could make use of its features. Krune, for example, would be unable to use even an iota of its power. Even for dragonkin, their Dragon Bloodline concentration has to be at least 50% or higher.
A Dragon wouldn't use it as a weapon. Instead, they would fuse it with their body, enhancing their Dragon Bloodline power. Once the battle is finished, they can then cancel the fusion, and the Dragon Pearl would come out.
The problem is that the process of making a Dragon Pearl is really complicated. First of all, each Dragon Pearl will only work with the Dragon who offered his blood to make it. Not only that, but the amount of blood is also ridiculous. The process of forging one would need more than the total concentration of blood of the Dragon himself. The Dragon would need to keep recovering his blood, and then go back into forging it once again. Simply put, it is a long process that can take over a month. And that is considering that the Dragon has Pills that help it to replenish its blood. Otherwise, it would take even longer!
Another problem is that the forging process must not stop. So it was also a great burden for the Blacksmith himself. He had to have a huge supply of Spirit Energy. Finally, the Blacksmith had to be at least a Diamond Stars one. That is because the forging process is highly dependent on Chaos Energy being fused with the Dragon Blood. Beneath the Semi-Divinity Realm, a Dragon Pearl could be said to be one of the best treasures for a Dragonkin.
But usually, Blacksmiths wouldn't do such a thing because of how hard it is. He can never let the Fire Extinguish. The Chaos Energy has to be infused without stop either. Besides, it is very hard to keep control over the Dragon Blood. After all, even if you use a dragonkin with exactly 50% Dragon Bloodline concentration. The Blacksmith will have to disregard the other blood and only use the dragon bloodline in the middle.
Dragon Bloodline is a Divine Beast bloodline. There is no doubt that it is powerful! Controlling such a thing for so long is not a feat for every Blacksmith out there.
But Krune... he definitely was one of those capable of such thing. First of all, his Conversion of Elemental Source Energy into Chaos Energy is an instantaneous 30%! Krune can simply keep using only the Chaos Energy. Because of that, he will never run out of Chaos Energy during the process.
As for control? Krune has the Elemental and Chaos Energy Meridians. Not to mention to his Elemental Regulation Technique from his Master and Grandmaster. Let's not forget his All-Encompassing Soul Technique, either. At the same level, Krune could be said to have one of the best, if not the best Elemental Control between all Blacksmiths. So he was very confident in succeeding in his Forging process.
Krune looked at Laex and smiled.
”I can, but I will need to raise my Blacksmith level to the Diamond Stars first. So it will not be now. I'm also very curious to see how a Purple Flame Dragon Pearl is going to work on you. Would it work for something like that? If it does, then your Dragon Pearl is bound to be better than anyone else's. After all, a Dragon Pearl has nothing to do with the Blacksmith Stars, it doesn't have a level. So even if I'm only a Diamond Stars Blacksmith, the one that I create will be just as good as any other Blacksmith's out there. Perhaps, the Purple Flame effect can finally create a new level of a Dragon Pearl.”
Laex eyes were as bright as the Sun!
”Great! I would already be more than happy if you were able to forger a common Dragon Pearl. But if you are able to forge a higher level one that no other Dragon has, you can be sure that I will be here for your every call from now on.”
Just the thought of a Dragon Pearl that is better than all others made Laex's blood boil! He had never heard about a different Dragon Pearl. All of them are identical in what they can do, so every single Dragonkin would burn with jealousy once they see that his one is better than theirs! The thing is that it is completely useless for them to rob his one. A Dragon Pearl only works for the Dragon who offered his blood to forge it, after all.
Laex couldn't help but think about going to pay a visit to the Dragon Race territory to display it in front of the others. The elders had cut his Resources because of his personality. Just the thought of them flattering him to know who forged his Dragon Pearl was enough to make this trade.
Krune couldn't help but laugh.
”What every call you talking about. You are not a slave or anything. But I would be happy with your help if there is a need in the future. First of all, you have been helping me and the others by fighting against us, that is already a huge help.”
Laex nodded and promised that he would help as much as he needed.
