"Master, are you fine with doing this? Youâve divided yourself into like five!" Amethyst was concerned. "Is your head fine with that many bodies? I know youâre not the brightest man out there, so Iâm worried your little brain may get overloaded."
"Hahaha! Hey, youâre still rude sometimes, huh?" Drake laughed. "Nothing of the sort. I had gone through a trial that enlarged my brain and my psychic and mental abilities a lot, and I mean a lot. I think I could even have a hundred bodies at a time, the downside is that my stats go down the more I have, so this is better for now."
"I see," Amethyst nodded.
"Haha!" Triton laughed. "So your brain was enlarged? What the hell does that mean?"
"It means what it means, son," Drake smiled. "Now, letâs get back on topic. Amethyst, Triton, both of you, I already know what you must train."
"I know too," Amethyst said. "But how can I maximize the training without ending up killing myself?"
"Iâll get to that," Drake said. "Youâre going to train by constantly crystallizing your own blood, flesh, bones, and even try to do the same with your soul. Weâll begin with your blood first, and Iâll provide you with super regeneration."
"What?" She was confused. "How? A Divine Dragon of my caliber already has pretty good regeneration, and with the Archetype..."
"Youâll drink my own blood," Drake explained. "That will give you all more power. Youâll drink a lot of it, even if you donât like the idea."
"Your blood? Ew!" Triton was disgusted. "Why would I do that?"
"So you want to remain weak?" Drake sighed. "Itâll be better if you do. Everyone in my family and my friends has drunk my blood. It is both a panacea and an elixir, and it can permanently make you stronger. The reason why theyâre so tough is because they drank a lot of it, until drinking any more didnât give them anything further."
"Uuh, Iâm fine with that," Celene said. "After all, I also gave you my blood."
"Alright then," Drake nodded. "Thank you for being understanding, Celene. Anyway, your training consists of pushing you to your limits until you almost die and regenerate. Eventually, your bodies and souls will continuously grow through endless strain and damage that is constantly repaired, Iâve prepared special formations for that to strengthen the growth process and accelerate its speed too."
"Well, whatever, letâs do this quickly, alright?" Amethyst sighed. "I donât want to drink your blood for two whole weeks."
"Me neither, ugh," Triton sighed.
In the end, despite how they reacted, Drake was able to convince them to drink his blood, although not directly, but made into special Dragon King Blood Elixirs, of such precious quality and power that literally anybody in the world, even Oberon, would pay anything to obtain them. A single droplet of this precious elixir could make even the most ordinary man into a god with draconic powers, and even a tiny ant would evolve into some sort of draconic insect divine beast at the very least.
However, for divine dragons who were already so strong, it wouldnât have that big of an effect, or, well, thatâs what they thought. As Amethyst, Triton, and Celene drank Drakeâs Dragon King Blood Elixir, they immediately felt the power. Once they finished their first bottle of one liter, their eyes widened, as their divine auras shot up with immense power, overflowing everywhere around them.
Drake had already fed Surtr and Emerald with his blood. He even gave it to everyone else with them, including Amehia, Tyrannus, Mina, Nadia, and more, making them all very strong back then. And now, the same thing was happening again. He was also considering sharing it with Alma and her allies, and also Chris, Lucia, and Jake, but for now, his disciples were his priority.
"Wow, my Aura grew so strong! No, my Divine Power too?" Amethyst wondered. "My Divinities, even my Divine Abilities... They have all gained one or two Ranks?"
"Ugh! My soul feels weirdly bigger now," Triton muttered. "Ahhh, a lot of Magic Power too! What the hell!"
"Hmm, I can feel it within me now, a part of your strength, Drake," Celene smiled, closing her eyes and feeling her Moonlight Divinities fluctuating and surging from her body. "Itâs wonderful."
"Alright, time for the second bottle, then the third, and hopefully a fourth. I think that would be enough for you all," Drake said, as he quickly gave them more bottles of his Dragon King Blood Elixir, which they ended up drinking as they knew it would help them.
Amethyst, Triton, and Celene drank the second bottle very quickly, feeling even stronger, gaining almost the same large boost as the first bottle. Then the third bottle had its boost halved compared to before, then the fourth bottle gave them only a third of it, and then they even gained some out of a fifth, only a tenth.
Drake thought that this was more than enough, as he didnât want to make them puke out of disgust. Although Celene was fine, Triton and Amethyst, despite feeling the power, also felt disgusted by drinking his blood, and he didnât want to push them too far.
"Alright! How do you feel? By now, youâre probably thrice or four times as strong as before," Drake said. "For Celene, itâs definitely four times as strong."
"Itâs amazing!" Celene said. "Iâve never felt this much divine power flowing through my body before. And I feel so full of vitality. I think my bodyâs regeneration has increased as a result too."
"Looks like it has," Amethyst nodded. "Yeah, same for me. Itâs crazy, but it worked really well. I feel so strong. My powers are not just vast, but they seem to obey me better. But I almost puked, though."
"Yeah, I donât know if it was completely worth it. Nah, it was, but please, letâs just never do it again!" Triton complained.
