Chapter 834 Ever-Growing Draconic Powers
-----
There are two methods I could had approached this process. The first one would have been to transplant the Heart of a very strong Dragon inside of my body, replacing my existing one.
That would have been quite dangerous though, and if it failed, I could had died. Also, we lack the proper heart for that, so it was impossible anyways… I would at least need the Heart of a Dragon at S Rank for the process to be worth it.
And the second process was the one I choose, by consuming multiple Dragon Hearts from other lesser beings and absorbing their power into my own through the Dragon Energy Fluctuation Technique, I forcefully made my Heart mutate into a Dragon Heart.
The process was swift because I've been preparing my body for this moment, constantly cultivating draconic energy thanks to my contract with Ruby, whom I evolved into a True Dragon. Also the other Dragon-related Skills Leveled Up quite a lot lately, enhancing my affinity.
FLAAASH!
The power of the Bosses Hearts flowed into my own Heart, their power fusing with it and making my heart evolve. It felt as if became three times as large, much mightier, beating rapidly, and pumping dragon blood across my body.
The Dragon Blood clashed against the Vampire and Demon Blood though, but I made sure to merge them and properly fuse them together beforehand, so their clash was only temporary, and they melded together swiftly.
THUMP! THUMP!
As my heart started beating faster and faster, I closed my eyes and let it flow Draconic Energy into my body completely… Until finally, the evolution of my heart was complete.
And the Grimoire quickly rewarded me for my efforts!
Ding!
[You've learned the [Dragon Heart: Lv1] Skill!]
-----
[Dragon Heart: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 0/10000
A Unique Skill developed only by the strongest Dragon Master's who have created a powerful contract with a Dragon and also absorbed the power of Dragon Hearts to create their own.
A Dragon Heart is a special organ that constantly pumps Dragon Blood and Draconic Energy into the body, constantly enhancing their physique and magical prowess exponentially.
The higher the Assimilation Rate of the Dragon Heart becomes, the higher the Bonus Stats become, and the more special Dragon Abilities are unlocked.
To increase the Assimilation Rate, cultivate Draconic Energy and absorb the Blood and Hearts of other Dragons.
Dragon Heart Assimilation Rate: 25%
Available Abilities:
[Draconic Bloodline (1)]: Your Bloodline has been fused with that of the Dragons. Draconic Blood pumps through your entire body endlessly, increasing your Physique Development Growth by +100%, All Stats by +25%, Dragon-type Skills Power and Effects by +50%, Maximum Draconic Energy by +100%, and Draconic Energy Restoration Speed by +300%.
[Draconification (1)]: Harness your Draconic Energy and transform your body, gaining the Draconic Powers of your Contracted Dragons and the Dragon Bloodlines and Hearts you've consumed to become a mighty Half-Dragon Warrior. Once transformed, increases All Stats by +300%, Dragon Tongue Effect and Power by +200% and Reduces Mana and Draconic Energy Cost by -70%, Enhances Dragon Scales Durability and Defenses by +300%, and all other Dragon-type Skill Powers and Effects by +150%. Duration: 30 Minutes. Cooldown: 24 Hours.
More Abilities can be unlocked as the Assimilation Rate increases.

It is excellent, much better than I imagined! Draconic Bloodline gives me a passive effect, my stats already all rose by +25% without anything else! Although it is an invisible effect, so I cannot directly see it, I can feel it through my entire body.
And Draconification is a much better and higher quality version of Dragon Connection, it is a true transformation, with a long duration of half an hour and a cooldown of a whole day, not bad.
As the Skill Levels Up when I cultivate the Dragon Blood and Draconic Energy, these Abilities should improve exponentially.
My body exuded a powerful pressure, I noticed how several of my friends quickly directed their eyes towards me even when I was so far away.
"What happened to Blake? It feels like he has become someone else entirely…" Said Eric.
"That Aura he's exuding, such a strong pressure!" Chris noticed.
"He has Draconic Energy like me…" Erika said.
"Blake! Food's almost ready! Come to eat with us." Said Elizabeth.
"Okay, I'm coming."
I quickly stood back up, feeling refreshed. My entire body had advanced yet another step towards my goal. With this strength… I could even!
…No, I don't need to too confident yet. I need more power before that, enough so I can defeat all those Vessels of the Archdemons and finally end Lucifer once and for all.
Until then, I cannot feel confident or rest, I must keep striving forwards, I will become the strongest in this entire world, if necessary.
"Just what happened there?" Wondered Elfriedden as I sat down to eat with everyone.
"I was able to finally grow a bit stronger, I refined a Dragon Heart, what I've been working for lately." I explained. "I ate the hearts of those Dragon Bosses."
"So that's what you were doing!" Elizabeth nodded, finally understanding. "Is this why you had so much Draconic Energy flowing from you now?"
"Indeed, something like that." I nodded. "I can do some interesting things now, and I gained some good passive effects as well, but this is not near as enough. The Assimilation Rate is only around 25%, I need to eat more Dragon Hearts to increase it."
"I see…" Erika said. "So you're like me now?! Wow!"
"Kind of, but you're even better than me, you developed a Crystal-like Dragon Heart with an already maxed assimilation rate, it is also merged with your unique body's powers, so you can grow stronger much more easily." I smiled, patting Erika's pink haired head.
"R-Really?" Erika was wondering. "Am I that amazing? But you're cool too!"
"Haha, I don't think that being cool or not truly matters." I smiled gently, as I took a bite of the delicious burger Erika prepared. "Hm?! Oh, this is good. You made this right?"
"Yep! You like it? I'm glad!" Erika giggled, blushing and feeling flattered.
She has really become better at cooking…
