Chapter 1435: Chapter 491: Sixth Form_2

“Sixth Form?”

As Rein reviewed the system prompts, his gaze was quickly drawn to the description of the new form.

“An old dragon?!”

Rein took another look at the system’s description of the ’ancient fire dragon’ and vaguely understood something.

Since embarking on the path of bloodline, Rein had naturally perused many ancient texts and materials about dragons.

The power of dragons is closely related to their bloodline, size, and the like.

And size and lifespan, to be precise, are almost directly linked to their years of growth.

If it were a juvenile giant dragon, then a mature hybrid dragon descendant creature could probably easily kill it.

Whereas an old dragon is a state achieved after a dragon matures.

“Judging by the opponent’s size and the molten armor on its surface, the time spent slumbering in volcanic magma must be calculated in millennia.”

Rein looked at the dark red body of the abnormal fire dragon, deep in thought.

“However, mastering a new form is naturally a good thing; with a 30% increase in size, once transformed, I’d surely be over fifty meters tall.”

“The power of the Dragon Soul Strike has also increased simultaneously, so my strength has further enhanced!”

At this time, the red dragon Tasa, with her huge vertical pupils, had been watching Rein for a while. Just as she wanted to inquire about the ’three dragon heads’ from Rein, there were sounds of others approaching from all around.

Rein’s ears twitched slightly, and he immediately began to gather the dragon heads and began to revert from his transformation.

As the dust gradually settled, Rein also returned to his human form.

At this moment, the Federation Sword Saint Terrio and Dawn Wizard Hernandez walked over quickly.

“Lord Rein, turns out you had such a hidden ace up your sleeve,” Terrio laughed, patting Rein on the shoulder.

“By the way, Lord Rein, what’s your relationship with the Imperial Royal Family? Couldn’t be a bastard child, could it?” After some cordial words, Terrio whispered in Rein’s ear.

“A bastard child?”

Rein immediately waved his hand and said, “Lord Terrio, if I were the Emperor’s bastard child, I wouldn’t be part of this delegation.”

“No, I mean a bastard child of that person.” Terrio lowered his voice, pointing upwards.

“Which person?” Rein didn’t catch on for a moment.

But in the next second, he realized and couldn’t help but smile wryly, “Lord Terrio, if Prince Menia hears this joke, it’ll be quite something.”

“Even though I’ve heard Prince Menia hasn’t married, it doesn’t mean there aren’t any children. During the intense battle, Prince Menia didn’t even make you act, and you still say there’s no relation?”

“Moreover, Lord Rein, based on your age, it matches perfectly.” Terrio spoke confidently.

For a moment, Rein was speechless.

He didn’t expect the Federation Sword Saint Terrio to have such a gossipy personality once they became familiar.

However, Rein didn’t have to worry about how to respond.

Because at this moment, in the sky, Menia and Reginald, both in red wizard robes, used the Floating Technique to descend slowly.

The arrival of these two immediately brought a more solemn atmosphere to the scene.

Menia first looked in amazement at the massive fire dragon corpse on the ground, then glanced at Rein, nodded, and said nothing, instead, she slowly walked to the front of the abnormal fire dragon.

She extended her fair palm, first probing around the wound on the body, seemingly examining the skin and muscle tissue.

Then, she dabbed a bit of the dark red blood and sniffed it before her petite nose.

“This fire dragon is over three thousand years old, far surpassing a mature dragon’s lifespan, reaching the level of an old dragon,” Menia concluded.

“An old dragon? No wonder it’s so powerful!” Reginald couldn’t help but express astonishment.

The combined might of three giant dragons was needed to kill it; turns out it had reached the level of an old dragon.

“Hmm?”

Rein likewise looked at Menia in surprise.

This confirmed his earlier suspicion that this abnormal fire dragon likely had a very long lifespan.

As for Sword Saint Terrio and Federation Water Element Dawn Wizard Hernandez, they were even more surprised. The two exchanged glances and then Terrio couldn’t help but ask:

“Prince Menia, we don’t doubt your judgment, but as far as we know, fire dragons, as such top-level sub-dragons, never have their lifespan exceed two thousand years?”

Hearing Terrio’s question, Rein couldn’t help but nod slightly.

This was also the question he wanted to ask.

Even for top-level sub-dragons, their lifespan couldn’t compare to giant dragons, generally capping at two thousand years.

Whereas real giant dragons could live for three thousand years or even longer; as for beings like ’Red Dragon King’ Straz, their lifespan was even harder to estimate.

“Lord Terrio, generally speaking, it’s as you’ve said.”

“However, this ancient fire dragon has a very strong red dragon aura. I surmise it’s either a first-generation hybrid of some red dragon or once devoured a red dragon.”

“What! Devoured a red dragon?”

Terrio couldn’t help but look again at the massive body on the ground, utterly shocked!

…

Meanwhile.

On the Federation giant airship.

The intelligence department’s admiral briskly entered the captain’s room, looking delighted, and said:

“Vice Chairman, we’ve already clarified the origin of this fire dragon, named ’Anguskin,’ an ancient fire dragon active thousands of years ago.”

“In theory, its lifespan should not have lasted this long, so the intelligence department didn’t consider it a threat, and the opponent…”

“Enough! The battle’s over, what’s the point in mentioning any special abilities it might have!” Vice Chairman Bertrand waved his hand, saying irritably.
