Speed Is King

As soon as Elliot said that, Primal Silverwing widened her eyes in surprise, and immediately fell to one knee as Primal Golden Fire had done earlier.

"Silverwing thanks the Dragon Lord for his gift! Long live the Dragon Lord!!" Primal Silverwing said slightly breathlessly.

Whoosh!

A Silver Dragon Silhouette formed above Primal Silverwing and it too, entered Elliot's body with peerless grace.

"Rise." Elliot told Primal Silverwing warmly.

Primal Silverwing stood up, and strangely, she started to give out a powerful aura around her, an aura that was astonishingly and immediately matched by Primal Golden Fire!

Every single eyeball swiveled to the next Dragon Primal in line, Kiltasar the Bronze.

"Bronze Dragon now please." Elliot said pleasantly to the system.

Oh yes, he was in a very, very good mood.

[Bronze Dragon - Basic Element - Fire]

[Burning Sun - Creates a ball of fire that burns at temperatures beyond that of a small star and deals penetrative Dragon Fire damage to everything within the natural limits of the size and strength of the Burning Sun. The size of the ball of fire depends on the strength of the Bronze Dragon/Host.]

"Another excellent skill. You make me a very, very happy man, System." Elliot sighed with pleasure. "Accepted."

To nobody's surprise, Primal Kiltasar dropped to one knee.

"Kiltasar thanks the Dragon Lord for his gift! Long live the Dragon Lord!!" Primal Kiltasar said solemnly.

A Bronze Dragon Silhouette appeared and disappeared into Elliot.

"Arise."

And as before, as soon as Primal Kiltasar stood up, the strange aura that shrouded him, Primal Silverwing and Primal Golden Fire exploded once more in strength. And as it were, all three were already emitting auras that were over 75% of their original strength!

If each and every Dragon Primal went through the same process, then by the time the 10th Dragon Primal finishes the process, wouldn't they all gain a net increase of 250% in strength?

The other Primals could only stare in dumbfounded disbelief at the next Dragon Primal in line.

[Brass Dragon - Basic Element - Water]

[Tidal Torrent - Unleashes an unblockable torrent of Dragon Water Energy that could penetrate almost everything in existence. Strength of Tidal Torrent would depend on the Brass Dragon/Host's power]

Soul Essence Received. Soul Shard Distributed. Boom. 100% Soul Power.

[Copper Dragon - Basic Element - Wood]

[Death Smile - Unleashes a colorless, odorless gaseous venom that causes every single organ in the life form's body to start producing and releasing dopamine that causes them to be intensely joyful, delirious and then die out of happiness.]

"WHAT? NO BLOODY WAY!" Elliot shouted at the System in his first ever rejection of the skills it provided. Sure, it was yet another masterpiece that was completely unthinkable. But… He would be dealing with enemies! He wouldn't want them to die out of happiness!

"Give me something more painful."

[Death Scream - Unleashes a colorless, odorless gaseous venom that causes every single organ in the life form's body to start producing and releasing chemicals that target its pain receptors, causing the target to die out of pure agony.]

"Uhhhh… Accepted." Elliot thought it was slightly too painful, but it was probably what his enemies deserved.

Apparently, Primal Bisi thought so as well, as he fell to one knee and surrendered his Soul Essence to Elliot like the rest.

Soul Essence Received. Soul Shard Distributed. Boom. 125% Soul Power.

"Damn it! I wish I was born as a dragon!"

"The Dragon Primals would be unstoppable now. They have never been united, and now they are even stronger than before! A completely new era is upon us!"

"At this rate, not even Saint Dul'Akharat would be able to go against them in a few decades!"

"Decades? They would be unstoppable in less than ten years!"

As the other Primals conversed among themselves, Elliot continued to converse with the system.

[Black Dragon - Royal Element - Darkness]

[Demonic Legion - Summons a Legion of powerful Demons that deal Darkness Element and Physical damage. The strength of the Demons would depend on the strength of the Black Dragon/Host.]

"Similar to the Golden Dragon, just its opposite. Good. Accepted!"

Soul Essence Received. Soul Shard Distributed. Boom. 150% Soul Power.

[Blue Dragon - Advance Element - Lightning]

[Lightning Burial - Buries the target under endless lightning strikes.]

"... What is with you and Advanced Elements? Why are you always so stingy with your words?" Elliot sighed helplessly. But he didn't bother to ask for a longer explanation. It was more than clear enough what it did. "Accepted!"

Soul Essence Received. Soul Shard Distributed. Boom. 175% Soul Power.

[Red Dragon - Basic Element - Fire]

[Burning Star - Creates a ball of fire that burns at temperatures beyond that of a giant star and deals pure Dragon Fire damage to everything within the natural limits of the size and strength of the Burning Sun. The size of the ball of fire depends on the strength of the Red Dragon/Host.]

"Hmmm. The adjective changes from "small" star to "giant" star, and from "penetrative" Dragon Fire to "pure" Dragon Fire. As with my dragon skills, Red Dragons deal more penetrative Dragon Fire Damage compared to the pure heat dealt by Bronze Dragons." Elliot thought to himself.

"Accepted!"

Boom. 200% Soul Power.

[White Dragon - Basic Element - Water]

[Frost Torrent - Unleashes an unblockable torrent of Dragon Ice Energy that could freeze almost everything in existence. Strength of Frost Torrent would depend on the White Dragon/Host's power]

"Again, similar to the Brass Dragon. Penetration versus Freeze. Excellent. Accepted!" Elliot said to the System.

Boom. 225% Soul Power.

[Green Dragon - Basic Element - Wood]

[Tree of Life - Summons a Tree of Life which heals all allies and boosts their power by 100%. Unleashes a sea of disabling vines against all enemies within range. Range will depend on the Green Dragon/Host's strength.]

"Accepted!"

Boom. 250% Soul Power.

And that was finally it.

Elliot and his ten Soul-Bound Dragon Apostles stood calmly in formation, radiating soul strength that was vastly more powerful than all of the rest of the Primals combined..

It wouldn't be an exaggeration that the eleven of them could kill every other Primal present at that moment within minutes!

And judging by the awed silence that filled the air, every other Primal knew it as well.

"Um. Elliot? Why did you grant them Soul Shards formed of Basic Runes? They would be significantly more powerful if you modified them into Soul Shards formed of Ascendant Runes…" Jessica Sands said privately to him.

Elliot's jaw dropped.
