Eren tried to stand up to observe the remnants of the soul more closely, only to groan in pain as he sat down again.
He took a moment to catch his breath while consuming a healing pill to provide some relief to his body.
[Congratulations on completing the selected option]
[You have been rewarded with a Revival Stone]
[Please use it accordingly]
As if waiting for him to regain consciousness, a notification appeared in his head. A screen also opened in front of him, providing more description for the unfamiliar item.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Item Name: Revival Stone
Grade: Unique
Description: Can revive a person once, even if the body has been completely destroyed, as long as even a small fragment of the soul exists.
Limitations: The Revived Person will lose half the strength they had at the time of their death.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“A revival stone that can bring a person back to life, even if they are completely destroyed?” Eren looked at the description, getting intrigued by the potential use of this thing.
Only he could use this stone, which was tied to him. If he died, he couldn’t use it to bring himself back. For him, it was not as useful as he had assumed when he first heard the name of the stone.
Still, he had a feeling that this stone was quite useful in its own ways. Even if he couldn’t bring himself back, there were still so many incredible things he could do with it.
If he could find the soul of the person that destroyed the Celestial Dragon in the past, couldn’t he bring him back? What about the Sword Emperor? Although he didn’t know if he could even find a small remnant of their soul to use it properly, it was still useful.
Even if he couldn’t bring them back, it could be used to protect those that he wanted to save.
He could also bring back the Celestial Dragon whose soul was lying on the ground, almost entirely destroyed. However, he had a feeling that it wasn’t a good idea.
The mind of the Celestial Dragon’s Soul had been completely destroyed with pain. Even if he managed to bring it back to life, it was going to stay just as broken.
The trauma of the soul couldn’t be healed with just the revival as the memories were still intact.
He stood up and approached the remnants of the Celestial Dragon’s Soul, the lifeless eyes not even focusing on his approaching footsteps as if they couldn’t see anything.
He reached out his hand, and kept the remnants of the soul in his inventory. Even if he didn’t bring the Celestial Dragon back to life, he still saved it for the future. If he could find a way to heal the trauma, he could certainly use it on her.
“Yelen should have a way to help me recover that soul.”
He was quite curious as to what he had done to the Celestial Dragon’s Soul to that extent. But if there was one person who could help him recover that soul or erase her memories of this torment, then it was Yelen, the Ancestor of Spirits.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t contact Yelen in this dungeon, being restricted by an unknown force.
For now, he focused on the task at hand. He turned around and walked back to the giant heart of the Celestial Dragon. It was the thing that he had come here for.
For the Sea Dragons, it was the most important thing. It could help them unseal their bloodlines, increasing their strength that had always been restricted due to the seal.
For him, it had an entirely different use. He wanted to Devour the heart of the Celestial Dragon. Not only could he increase his strength, but also strengthen his abilities.
He approached the heart, placing his hand. Even when he had simply touched it, he was still able to feel just how incredible that thing was.
The heart trembled faintly under his touch, as if it still retained a glimpse of its former power.
Eren closed his eyes, focusing on the energy that radiated from the ancient heart. He could feel the immense force that once coursed through the Celestial Dragon’s veins.
It was overwhelming, but also exhilarating. He could feel his bloodline getting excited. Not only was his Devourer bloodline craving the taste of the Celestial Dragon’s heart, but even his Dragon Bloodline was excited to become even stronger by merging.
“To devour the heart of a Celestial Dragon,” he mumbled, “I hope it doesn’t disappoint me.”
Eren knew the risks of trying to take such an incredible strength through force. Still, the rewards that came with the risk were more than enough.
He started transforming into the Dragon Form, his body becoming larger. As his body grew bigger, so did his mouth. His teeth also grew sharper.
He opened his jaws and took a deep bite of the heart that belonged to the strongest of the Dragons in the past. It was a Dragon that ruled over the ocean in an era where no Overlords existed.
It was the supreme ruler who was so strong that even the gods didn’t want to offend it. However, even the invincible had fallen to the depths of hell.
One after another, Eren kept taking the bites, devouring the last hope of the Sea Dragons to unseal their Bloodline.
His own bloodline became even more purified while his Devourer bloodline worked harder than usual to consume the bloodline for his own use.
His dragon form became larger with each passing second. The dark scales that had formed the maze also started trembling as similar scales appeared on Eren’s skin.
Most of his body was covered by the newly grown dragon scales. His body appeared even closer to the real Celestial Dragon.
[Level+1]
[Level +1]
[Level +1]
One after another, notifications also kept resounding in his head. However, he didn’t have time to focus on that. He was more immersed in devouring the delicacy.
[You have received a new ability: Ruler of the Oceans]
