Níðhöggr, as if having completed his mission, vanished in the wind along with the corpses of the gods. His mission was to end the Age of Gods, to push this Earth into the next epoch, just as an asteroid impact on Earth exterminated the dinosaurs that dominated the planet for tens of millions of years.
And as this awe-inspiring Dragon of the End finally vanished, Rin discovered that one thing from Níðhöggr's body had been left behind—
Thud!!!!
Like a meteorite falling to Earth, a hill-sized petrified dragon's heart landed on the ground, not carried away by the wind.
Everything else became clear. The Níðhöggr blood implanted in Rin's body must have been discovered by members of a magical family who later lived in the Nordic lands. They accidentally found this heart and extracted the only remaining bottle of dragon blood from it. Because it had been dormant for too long to be effective, it was passed down through generations, eventually falling into Touko's hands, and then implanted into Rin's body.
Her consciousness returned to her body, and the light in Rin's emerald eyes gradually recovered. As she regained her bodily sensations, the urges of lust, pleasure, and heat made Rin feel parched and dry-mouthed. She felt an unbearable hunger and thirst, a strong desire to drink something.
At this moment, Altrouge was still transfusing blood to Rin, gently biting Rin's side neck. The first thing Rin saw when her vision returned was Altrouge's snow-white side neck.
Veins subtly visible beneath the snow-white skin. A signal from her soul told Rin that this was what she needed, what could alleviate her thirst.
Blood... I want it!
At this moment, Rin's eyes instantly turned crimson! She opened her small mouth, and two delicate fangs suddenly elongated, biting into the Black Princess's side neck! A pair of small fangs pierced Altrouge's blood vessels, directly drawing Black Princess's blood!
Blood was drawn through her fangs into her windpipe, flowed past her throat, and finally entered her stomach. Having ingested blood from the inherent essence of gaia, the dragon blood of the Dragon of the End, dormant for countless ages, finally began to boil! The dragon's aura, surging like a tide, spread like a storm across the entire forest.
Roar!!!!
A silent dragon roar emanated from the void, shaking the souls of all living beings within ten thousand miles! Small creatures like grass, fish, and insects were directly shattered, their hearts and brains destroyed, dying. Ferocious beasts with strong vitality, such as tigers, leopards, wolves, and snakes, had no choice but to prostrate themselves motionless on the ground, worshiping in the direction of the roar.
The White Beast also let out uneasy growls. The Black Knight frowned, looking at Rin, who was currently sucking Altrouge's blood, and said seriously, "It seems the prototype of the dragon blood fused with this girl is extraordinarily powerful, beyond imagination. It might even be a significant divine beast from ancient mythology."
"But dragons, in legends, aren't they all just there to add glory to heroes and knights among humans? Although powerful, they are merely supporting characters, not top-tier powerhouses," the White Knight always liked to sing a different tune, though his words were light, his expression showed no sign of relaxation.
"Then, it should be an existence even older than the legends themselves."
