884 Errand Boy 2 (1/2)

Dyon pondered a bit, before nodding. That did, in fact, make sense. ”What do I do about its size?”

'Sometimes I question if you're intelligent at all. Just how being was your martial father? Your master?'

A sudden realization hit Dyon.

'Just because it was small enough for you to wrap your hand around it here, doesn't mean that this was its original size. A single reverse scale from a beast of that size can be anywhere from tens of meters to hundreds of meters at full length. It only shrinks down like that when they enter their human forms, like the scale on your little brother's forehead.'

”I see. So if the scale can't be destroyed by even a peak dao formation expert, does that mean I can run rampant? Or is there a catch?”

'Of course there's a catch. For one, powering this scale requires your bodily stamina and it definitely isn't a cost many people other than you can handle. If you can't power its increase in size, it'll go right back to that small shield it is now. I guess if you place it over your heart it can protect that small area then.

'Secondly, the power it can provide is only as much as your body can. Although your body is at a lower celestial level, the reverse scale should help you scale up its defense to peak lower celestial levels, or lower mid celestial levels with ease.

'Thirdly, do you think it's so easy to turn a dragon's scale into a weapon? If your body isn't eradicated on your first attempt, you can consider yourself lucky.'

Dyon sighed. ”Fantastic.” Without waiting, Dyon immediately summoned the golden scale before, without pause, pouring his golden runic flame into it.

In an instant, Dyon felt almost as though the scale could move to his will, but directly afterward, yet another Dragon's roar resounded in his mind. This time, it was easily ten times more powerful than before.

Blood dripped from Dyon's seven orifices, but his gaze remained locked and true.

His Presence erupted once again, bearing down on the scale.

”You're mine now, be obedient!”

However, unlike the previous time, the scale didn't feel up to calming down. It struggled violently, constantly trying to send its power through Dyon's runic flame and directly into his heart where it resided.
