The average human can live for two to three hundred years and with certain conditions, using various benevolent or malevolent life-extending methods, they might reach five to six hundred years, but their strength diminishes with age.
Contrast that with the Dragon Race.
Once becoming Legendary.
The already long lifespan of the Dragon Race would increase by at least a thousand years, maintaining their peak forever afterward, and the most powerful moment of a Legendary aging dragon is when no one dares provoke them.
Nowadays, the major empires treat the Metal Dragon Race with great respect, and refrain from excessive extermination of Evil Dragons, largely due to their fear of the aging state of the Twenty-Four-Winged Golden Dragon.
Aging yet still the strongest, on the brink of death with peak physical abilities.
These terrifying buffs are almost fully stacked.
