An Ancient Dragon, the Smelting Black Dragon Dire Miralis was a creature of legends . It was a dragon comparable to the legend of the dragon G.o.ds . During the ancient era, Dire Miralis was the myth of the Miran Goydos coastal plains by the West Mountains . It was a monster which came from the sea, bringing in disaster using its heaven's flame and meteorite . It was known as the G.o.d of Disaster .

Based on legends, it went into a deep slumber before civilization began . The days when this mysterious dragon wreaked havoc was about a few thousand years back in the Far Ancient era . Only some old archives had successfully recorded some of its activity .

The Ancient Dragon Dire Miralis had a body similar to the Sea Dragon species . The difference would be its wings which had cannon-like chutes .  Its golden-red body was filled with a magmlike substance . Terrifying dense magic could be felt surging throughout its body . Although it lived under the sea most of the time, it had the capability to travel on land without problems . It was a unique ancient dragon itself without any other traits resembling any common race and life-form .

Within the recorded legends, the appearance of the Black Smelting Dragon would bring forth eruptions from the volcanoes under the sea . The sea would then turn red and other phenomena such as fire rain would occur . The extinct mermaid race had a very close relations.h.i.+p with the Black Smelting Dragon .  It had caused terrible destruction to the sea . Islands sank from its natural attacks . According to history, it had also changed the islands during that era into an archipelago .

During the pre-existence on Starfall Year 853, it was the Year of Legends . The second invasion from the Dark Abyss had caused grave damage to the Mycroft Continent . The drastic changes to the environment had awoken numerous destructive Ancient Dragons . The Dire Miralis which was slumbering within the Miran Abyss was awoken by the Great Western Sea Tsunami . It ferocious power was able to defeat the invasion from the Western Sea Demons and was even able to force a Demon Lord back to its dimensional gate .

During that period of time, fire energies and meteorites were released by the ancient dragon . All the lives which were taken away by those crazy attacks gave birth to Primitive Chaos .

After the great battle, this Ancient Dragon was infected by Chaos and succ.u.mbed to a frenzy . It attacked every living being without any control . It continued releasing high-temperature lava across the land, destroying about one-third of the western Mycroft Continent . It was finally able to be stopped by the effort of all kingdoms of the West .

It was a large-scale crusade comparable to the war during doomsday . Numerous legendary warriors banded to stop this Black Smelting Dragon, forcing it back to the depths of the Miran Abyss . After being cool down by the cold sea water, the activity of fire energies slowed down and finally led the ancient dragon back into a deep slumber .

Joshua did not partic.i.p.ate in the battle against the Black Smelting Dragon during that time . However, he did study some information about that ancient dragon .  Being a rare seflame dragon, the information of the Black Smelting Dragon was very specific knowledge to gather and know about .

Although humans had successfully traveled across s.p.a.ce and contacted with numerous other worlds, they still lack the knowledge to understand everything about their ocean . Although humans could travel and battle with the other worlds, they still lacked the knowledge about the depths of the sea .

 Looking at the dragon bloodline warhorse playing happily in the pool, Joshua's expression turned calm .

The ancient dragon's bloodline was not inherited through reproduction . The ancient dragon bloodline was the origin of all bloodlines in the world . They existed in the bloodline of beast ancestry . Any type of magic beast could have a chance to awaken the ancient dragon's bloodline sleeping within their DNA, albeit it was a slim chance .  Black and Joshua were the lucky duo in this case .

Although it was quite surprising that Black had awoken his Black Smelting Dragon bloodline, it was still a bloodline inheritance only . It does not mean that Black could evolve up to the legendary status for sure . To ensure that his bloodline was strong enough to be pa.s.sed down to its heirs, it would cost quite a fortune in terms of preparing valuable material and supplements . Luckily he had obtained some Ancient Dragon's blood in the past which was the essential foundation material .

Although an ancient dragon's body was large and they had a huge amount of blood flowing through its body, the true blood that was useful for triggering and awakening the bloodline was rare in the first place . In addition to the fact that ancient dragons had been 'extinct' for a few hundred years with only minimal information of large-sized ancient dragon activity in the Gleaming Desert, any items related to them had become very rare and valuable in the market .

Based on my calculations, my funds are not really sufficient . Winter Fort Academy is still being established and the runic factory is being set up . I still need to grant a group of knights their t.i.tles .   There are too many things that I would need to spend money on .

 Joshua slightly frowned while thinking of all these issues ahead of time . Do I really need to slow down the development of the runic factory? However, both task to produce future knights and new technologies should not be delayed .

 Joshua chose to stop thinking about these issues for the moment .

Joshua focused on the water pool which was gradually turning red and increasing in temperature . In the backyard, the maids who wished to retrieve from water from the pool were anxiously gathered around the vicinity . They were curiously observing Black who was deep diving in the pool . All of them were very curious and started to chat among themselves softly .

 The northern inhabitants had few opportunities to see the big ocean . It was even rarer to see a large beast which swims during their lifetime . Now, they were looking at a horse which could swim . Inevitably, this had become a fun topic for them to discuss among themselves . This had a very great potential to become gossip within their own community .

 Joshua sighed and guided Black out of the pool . When Black exited the pool, high heat was released from the warhorse, turning every water droplet on its body into steam which covered the whole backyard .

 Joshua sighed and guided Black out of the pool . When Black exited the pool, high heat was released from the warhorse, turning every water droplet on its body into steam which covered the whole backyard .

 When the steam had dissipated, Black was quite reluctant to leave the pond . The scales on its body trembled slightly . Due to the bloodline awakening, Black liked to swim . He enjoyed the moment in the water . As Black shook its body, Joshua examined its movement and confirmed that Black's current movement resembled the behavior of a sea dragon while it is in the water .

Looks like Black was bound to be evolving towards the path of a sea dragon . Even though Joshua tried to turn Black toward the evolution path he desired, he wasn't able to do so . Joshua's was too young, too naïve .

The young warrior could only sigh . "Looks like my dream to ride on the dragon's face 1 , traversing through the vast sky is now completely shattered . "

He thought of manufacturing a saddle specifically for a flying dragon . Due to the current circ.u.mstances, it was no longer viable . Joshua was not really disappointed in any way . After all, Black Smelting Dragon bloodline was still an ancient dragon's inheritance . It had way higher potential than normal bloodline of a flying dragon . He was very satisfied with this outcome . Human should be grateful for the things they had gained .

"Master, do you still need these materials?"

 Ying who was still beside Joshua asked the question, "So, should we return it to the secret vault?"

"Sure . Thanks… Just leave the Ancient Dragon's blood behind . "

 Ying who was still beside Joshua asked the question, "So, should we return it to the secret vault?"

"Sure . Thanks… Just leave the Ancient Dragon's blood behind . "

 Joshua suddenly thought of something and said to the silver-haired girl and black-haired boy, "After you have placed everything in the vault, take out the Fruit of Life from the runic box . The one that I did not finish previously . "

"Yes, Master . "

Joshua gazed at his Divine Armaments that were carrying all the items back, then turned his attention back towards the Ancient Dragon's blood in his hand . He then slowly opened the bottle with a smile .

"Although the materials were not really sufficient, I have a very valuable one to act as a replacement . At least, with this item here, you could solidify your bloodline . "

Joshua's eyes were void of emotion . He looked at his system menu showing all the precious materials and replacement items for Black's bloodline improvement .

"Rejoice, Black . Your master here has spent quite a fortune for you .

"Do not disappoint me . " 飛龍騎臉 a Starcraft 2 meme where Mutalisk camps on the opponent's barracks, having a huge advantage over them .
