- "I'm Lucifer."

After hearing that the dragon had a name, Thalia was frustrated and disappointed as she had wanted to give it a name. She puffed out her chest while looking at Lucifer with an arrogant look plastered on her face.

- "I'll be taking my leave then." Lucifer flapped his wings, creating powerful winds almost tripping Thalia, her mother and the Knight protecting them. Without giving another glance towards Thalia and the others, the dragon named Lucifer flew off into the distance as if it hadn't even met them.

- "Thalia, what did it mean by 'The Eye Of Destiny'?" After the dragon left, Thalia's mother asked her out of curiosity.

- "I've never told anybody in my entire life, but since you've already heard I have it, it doesn't matter if you know what it does. 'The Eye Of Destiny' can be used to look a certain amount of time into the future, which in return will drain the user of their MP."

After explaining about The Eye Of Destiny, Thalia looked into the distance after the dragon that was much more different compared to others. She had never seen a race that looked like that, so she was curious if it was a form of hybrid or mutation.

After Lucifer took his leave, he began flying towards south to reach his destination. The place with lots of Lord-ranked beasts that he could kill and get XP to advance. Although it was still dark, the moon's light lit up almost everything on the ground as if it was another sun.

["Several Lord-ranked beasts have been spotted in front of the Host."]

After flying for another hour or so, Lucifer finally reached his destination where another green jungle-like forest was and found some Lord-ranked beasts. Although it was only a couple, it would still amount to a decent amount of XP.

Looking a little closer, Lucifer could spot two silhouettes, both of them look like humans, just with much larger bodies. He could already guess that it was two minotaurs since their head was that of a bull.

Lucifer sped up, and without even giving them a chance to react, spat out his 'Orcus Dragon Flame' which reeked of the aura of death towards the on the furthest away. A moment later the flames burned and the minotaur began shrinking as if its muscles were eaten extremely fast. It only left a little shrivelled and rotten corpse. Before the other minotaur could even react, its friend had already been killed.

Without wasting any time, Lucifer thrust his tail towards the head of the last minotaur, piercing straight through as if it was a knife cutting butter.

["For killing 2 minotaurs, the Host has been rewarded with 40,000 XP, 20% of the minotaur bloodline, the skill 'Recovery' and the skill 'Execution'.]

- "Status."

[Advancement Unavailable]

[Evolution Unavailable]

[Skill: Recovery]

A healing skill, which many beasts are naturally born with. When used, it will consume 1/10 of the total MP, while giving a full recovery, healing all wounds. Although it will heal wounds, it cannot grow back a lost limb.

[Skill: Execution]

A skill which has incredible strength and speed, allowing the user to swiftly finish off their opponent by beheading them.

________________

- "Loton, show me the possible outcome for combinations of skills."

________________

[Combine - Skills]

Passive Skill: Demon's Healing + Skill: Recovery = Passive Skill: Nature's Healing

Unique Skill: Blood Control + Passive Skill: Fear = Unique Skill: Bloodlust

[Passive Skill: Nature's Healing]

Allows the user when wounded, to absorb nature's energy to quickly heal and rebuild destroyed tissue. It is possible to recover limbs, but it can take anywhere between a couple of weeks and years, depending on how big the lost limb torn off is.

[Unique Skill: Bloodlust]

By absorbing blood from slain enemies, the user will gradually begin to create a nightmarish aura which can daze the target and it can even be activated or deactivated at will. If enough blood is absorbed from slain enemies, the aura released can even scare off or daze creatures with at least 1 rank higher then the user. If the enemy is bleeding, the skill will allow the user to immediately absorb 50% of the targets current blood, weakening the target to less than half their total strength.

________________

'They'll both be insanely useful. A healing skill which even allows regrowing lost limbs, who wouldn't want that? And with the 'Bloodlust' skill I will easily be able to daze my enemies and quickly kill them off.' Lucifer had a happy expression plastered on his gigantic dragon head.

- "Begin the combination of the Demon's Healing and Recovery skills, while also combining the Blood Control and Fear skills."

["The combination of Demon's Healing and Recovery and Blood Control and Fear will result in the skill Nature's Healing and bloodlust. An extra confirmation is needed."]

[Y/N]

- "Yes."

["The combination for the skills 'Nature's Healing' and 'Bloodlust' has been initiated."]

["Completed the combination for the passive skill Nature's healing."]

["Completed the combination for the unique skill Bloodlust."]

'That went way too fast. It didn't even need a specific period of time.' Lucifer was extremely happy and satisfied that he didn't have to wait for the skills to combine.

'If I want to absorb the blood of the beasts I kill, I'll probably have to do it without my dragon flame, since it completely withers everything except bones and skin'. Although Lucifer was happy, it would be more troublesome to not use his dragon flame since it was almost a guaranteed kill.

As Lucifer was extremely happy, he walked beside the now dead minotaur he had killed with his tail thrusting straight through its head and activated his Bloodlust skill. The body of the minotaur began shaking uncontrollably, while blood sprayed out of it and got absorbed by Lucifers gigantic dragon body.

'It would probably be best if I first hunted the Minotaurs to complete it's bloodline, making me able to combine it with my Giant Demonic Bloodline.' Lucifer was a little excited to see if he'd get a new race.

Flapping his wings, leaving behind two shrivelled up corpses of gigantic minotaurs, he flew around the area in hope to find more minotaurs he could kill. Looking around while flying, a lot of big mountains were present, some of which were probably over 20 kilometres (12 miles) in height, with insanely steep sides. Continuing to fly around, Lucifer was enjoying the view of how beautiful nature was.

["Bloodline of the 'Minotaur' has successfully achieved 100%."]

["Host has successfully killed 7 minotaurs. Rewarding the host with 140,000 XP and the passive skill 'Bone Crusher'."]

["Host can now initiate to the 'Child' stage of the race 'Giant Demonic Dragon."]

Notifications one after another hit Lucifer almost making him dizzy and fall down to the ground. He flapped his wings once more and landed back on the ground in front of a gigantic mountain. During the time he had hunted for minotaurs, he'd looked for somewhere which could keep him safe in case something unexpected happened. He walked towards a cave entrance at the bottom of the mountain, which was at least triple his height and width. It was absolutely massive. Walking for a while, until he reached the end, Lucifer couldn't help but be excited to first reach the 'Child' stage and then mix the minotaur bloodline with his own. It would make him incomparably stronger than before. He laid down on the cold rock surface.

- "Advance."

Upon hearing what the cold mechanical voice of Loton notified him on, Lucifer couldn't help but be extremely happy and satisfied.

Upon replying, Lucifer gradually fell asleep and lose his senses of the outside world for the next 6 hours.
