Part-time Boss
Chapter 77 - 77 77 Dragon Delight Ceremony

77: Chapter 77 Dragon Delight Ceremony 77: Chapter 77 Dragon Delight Ceremony Mo Fei had figured out the pros and cons of the Dragon Delight ritual and immediately started pondering.

While being a hero wasn’t so bad, Mo Fei still missed the days when he was an Ancient Dragon BOSS.

If he could have the best of both worlds, that would be really neat.

It’s just that he didn’t know whether there was any difference between the dragons transformed by the Dragon Delight ritual and the genuine Dragon Race, and which one was stronger.

Aidan (Northwind Knight), “Tell me, mysterious voice, how does the dragon power obtained through the Dragon Delight compare to the power of real dragons, in terms of strength and weakness?”

The mysterious voice, “Hahaha, ignorant Mortal, you only think those of the Dragon Race are immensely powerful beings, yet you don’t know that they are just some deteriorated descendants.

What they possess is merely part of the leftovers of the Ancient Dragon Race’s strength.

Their veins carry tainted blood, their flesh unclean, all those are useless dregs…

The Dragon Delight ritual is about extracting the essence and discarding the dregs.

At the end of the Dragon Delight path lies an eternal and immortal entity, becoming a giant dragon is but a stepping stone—what difference does strong or weak make?

Pursuing power, Mortal, proceed with the Dragon Delight, and you will receive everything you long for, and even more…”

Could it be that amazing?

Mo Fei thought as he listened to the description of the mysterious voice, starting to feel somewhat excited.

It seemed that after transforming into a dragon, he might have to deal with the following story quests.

An eternal and immortal entity—could it be to become an Ancient Dragon?

That must be it, but this step most likely also hides greater risks.

After all, the greater the power, the higher the risk one must face.

To gain the power of a giant dragon, one has to risk turning into a monster.

To become an Ancient Dragon, who knows what price has to be paid.

The so-called danger in the task warning must refer to the risks during the template conversion process.

After all, once you turn into a boss like a Magma Earth Dragon, not able to fly, without your own monster force, sooner or later you are going to be found and killed by Adventurers.

And the difficulty of seeking the power of the Ancient Dragon after that will only be higher.

But it’s alright.

High difficulty isn’t scary, what’s scary is having no direction to move forward.

He felt that he already understood the advantages and disadvantages.

Hesitating for a moment, he made up his mind—then let’s proceed with the Dragon Delight.

Even if he failed, he would just turn into a BOSS, but if he succeeded, then it would be awesome.

Mo Fei believed that with his experience playing as a member of the Dragon Race, handling the power of a giant dragon shouldn’t be a big issue.

For other players, directly controlling the body of the Dragon Race might indeed be difficult.

After all, dragons have four limbs plus wings, and their action modules are completely different from humanoid creatures.

But he had been trained from a young age, very experienced, and definitely not a problem.

Aidan (Northwind Knight), “I accept.

How shall we start the Dragon Delight ritual?”

The mysterious voice, “Sit in front of that altar, offer your sacrifice, offer the sacrifice, and the ritual can begin.”

Aidan (Northwind Knight), “Sacrifice?”

The mysterious voice, “The physical bodies of the Dragon Race are merely a powerful façade.

Their true strength actually comes from their control over the laws, and at the core of those laws is the Dragon Heart, the physical embodiment of the forces of a giant dragon, only conceivable by the powerful Dragon Race…”

Mo Fei thought to himself that this was quite a coincidence since he happened to carry a Dragon Heart with him.

He took out the heart of the Magma Earth Dragon and placed it on the altar, which looked like a round table, “What should I do now?”

The mysterious voice, “You must Devour it, transform it into your own strength.”

Aidan (Northwind Knight), “Devour, you mean eat it?”

“Correct.”

Previously, Mo Fei had thought that the so-called Devour was just a figurative term, but it turns out to be literal.”

He looked at the Dragon Heart in front of him, the size of two fists, resembling a heart but emitting a burning red glow.

Even though the Magma Earth Dragon was long dead, that heart still pulsated.

He picked up the Dragon Heart, feeling torn—was this thing really edible?

It’s a magical material, and that Magma Earth Dragon was…

The mysterious voice, “Eat it!

Pursuing the strength of the giant dragon, Mortal, feast on that flesh, Devour that power.

Let the force of those laws merge into your blood, forge into your soul.

Feel the strength of the giant dragon, eat it…

eat it…

eat it…

eat…

it…”

That voice whispered in his ear, carrying a long echo.

Mo Fei suddenly felt as if something was watching him, and not just one thing but many.

Those invisible gazes seemed to be anticipating everything that was going to happen next, and that drooling sensation gave him chills down his spine.

His gaze settled on the Dragon Heart, upon himself, he could feel, even experience the eagerness of those beings.

If he did not continue, perhaps something unpleasant might happen…

Mo Fei clenched his teeth and bit down hard.

The salty, viscous Dragon Blood rushed into his mouth, its scorching sensation like molten lava.

Mo Fei felt a burning stream flow down his throat, spreading to his viscera, limbs, and bones.

He bit down repeatedly, enduring the burning and the urge to vomit.

At first, he was disgusted, but soon he felt a hunger growing, becoming hungrier the more he ate; he yearned for more.

With his eyes closed, he tore and swallowed forcefully, as if in a trance, he seemed to hear someone singing in his ear.

Hey—Hu—Ha!

He—Hu—Ha!

Ah—Ah—Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah!

The grand and sacred singing, as if many voices were singing loudly together, was elusive, as if just an echo in the wind.

He could make out the meaning of the singing—it was a hymn sung in Ancient Dragon Language, praising Dragon Delight, praising those who seek the dragon’s power.

Person of the Dragon Delight, Person of the Dragon Delight, feast upon the flesh, Devour the dragon!

Person of the Dragon Delight, Person of the Dragon Delight, seize the power, forge the Dragon Soul!

Ah—Ah—Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah!

Mo Fei suddenly looked around; he felt that the ones singing were the source of those invisible gazes.

He continued eating, and the singing went on.

Person of the Dragon Delight, Person of the Dragon Delight, embark on a journey, with no road home!

Person of the Dragon Delight, Person of the Dragon Delight, the time has come, awaken the Dragon God!

Hey—Hu—Ha!

He—Hu—Ha…

Mo Fei knew that there was no turning back for him now as he swallowed the remaining Dragon Heart voraciously—burp—he let out a burp of satiation.

The scrutinizing gazes that had been upon him abruptly vanished.

The singing also stopped instantly, leaving only the whistling wind echoing in his ears.

[System Notification: You have completed the Dragon Delight Ritual, obtaining the Skill—[Magma Body].]

He checked the ability he had just obtained.

[Magma Body (Passive Skill)

Passive Effect: Your Flame Resistance increases by 50 points, and the power of your fire magic increases by 10%.

Skill Description: The Magma Earth Dragon, Flol, constantly bathed in lava; lava and fire became a part of its body.

Now, this power has been infused into your flesh—you no longer fear the flame; instead, the flame fears you.]

That’s it?

Mo Fei felt the changes in his body, somewhat disappointed.

He had thought there would be some special effects, like his body emitting fire or his eyes glowing.

It turned out to be just a passive skill.

The effects of the skill weren’t bad, just not as spectacular as he had hoped.

“That’s it?” he couldn’t help asking.

The mysterious voice: “No, this is merely the beginning.

Hunt the mightier dragons and bring their hearts back for Dragon Delight; Devour their power, your path has only just begun.”

Mo Fei was intrigued and looked up the quest for the Path of Dragon Delight.

[Path of Dragon Delight (Story Quest/In Progress)

Current Progress: 10%.

Quest Description: You have successfully completed your first Dragon Delight Ritual, but this is just the beginning.

Satisfy your inner desire, continue to Devour the dragon’s power.

On this path of chasing the dragon’s might, you have a long journey ahead…]

Having eaten one Dragon Heart and gained 10%, it seemed that he would need to eat nine more Dragon Hearts to complete the task; indeed, the quest was not easy.
