Last Egg: Reincarnated as a Dragon in a Game-Novel

POV Vesuvius:

The huge dragon in the shiny black armor rested on a small mountain of golden coins.

Everything around him was dark and black, with the tall walls made of polished, glossy dark marble and the tall pillars rising above him.

The chamber was vast, easily able to fit an entire city into it.

Vesuvius glanced at the result of his recent decisions, his newly evolved abilities.

//

Volcanic Tail Canon (LV 11) --> Tail Breath Glands (LV 11):

Description: An improved version of the volcanic tail canon that incorporated the smaller version of the breath glands into the dragon's tail. It allows the dragon to unleash a weakened form of its breath attack from the tip of its tail.

25% efficiency when compared to the main breath glands

//

'My tail canon was always underperforming when compared to my insane breath attacks, magic, and domain. This should bridge the gap by a lot, turning it into a usable weapon.'

//

Acid-Toxin Glands (LV 11) --> Acid-Toxin Breath Infusing Glands (LV 11):

Description: Acidic-Toxin glands that gained additional exhaust orifices connecting them to the dragon's breath glands, and allowing them to infuse every breath attack with acidic and toxic properties.

//

'Why not? Now even if something survives my breath, it will be afflicted by so many ailments, such as curses, radiation, and poison.'

//

Nuclear Mana Reactor Body (LV 10) --> Overloaded Nuclear Mana Reactor Body (LV 10):

Description: The body of a dragon is infused with radioactive elements, turning it into a giant walking nuclear reactor, that produces immense amounts of mana. Its evolved version can be overloaded, massively increasing its production at the cost of damage to the body.

The more overloaded, the more damage will be caused, and more mana will be generated.

//

'Definitely, worth it, the possibility of sacrificing life for mana can become useful sometimes. With my nanites and my new techniques of using energy to regenerate, it will be without any consequences.'

//

Dragon Lord's Nuclear Breath (LV 20) --> Dragon Lord's Apocalyptic Multielemental Breath (LV 20):

Description: A breath of an apocalypse dragon lord. It can combine and fuse all the elements of the apocalypse domain into a single synergized breath attack.

The more elements it contains, the better it will synergize, making the breath much more powerful than it should be.

+10% Breath intensity per contained element

It allows infusing the breath glands with the divine energy to empower breath attacks by a large margin.

//

Vesuvius was sure it was the correct decision compared to the three other options.

One was the exact opposite, increasing the power of separate elements when used separately.

'For now, it will be weaker, but I am sure that eventually it will catch up and surpass the single element one by far. I am gaining more and more elements. The concept of apocalypse is so wide and contains an immense amount of elements under it.'

The first of the two remaining options was a general improvement, and the second one would make the breath more powerful the longer it was unleashed.

'Yes, it has immense damage potential, which would probably surpass my choice by a lot. But at the same time, its time to kill would be, on average, higher as it would need charging. My choice will deliver immense damage right from the first second.'

Suddenly a notification appeared before his eyes, making the dragon reveal all his teeth in a huge grin.

Ding!

//

A new world threat has appeared: The demons of the circle of anger have invaded the continent.

Defeat them before they finish their evil plan to end this version.

Failure Consequences: The world threat of the next version will rise in severity and possibly form an alliance with the current world threat.

//

'Hahaha, it was about that time!' The dragon's laughter boomed through his dark palace, echoing through the vast, black corridors.

Vesuvius wasn't a fool and refused to trust the demons and invite them to fight by his side, 'They are demons, and even if I could fully trust Satanael, there is no guarantee that some of their subordinates wouldn't attack me of their own volition.'

That they were demons of anger made it even worse, as they were prone to... well, anger, making them highly unpredictable.

'But there is a whole continent between us. By the time our forces will meet. I and my army will be much more powerful. Until then, they will work as a perfect distraction.'

The dragon knew what he was planning to do was too eye-catchy, but now that the demons were causing havoc on the continent, no one would have enough time to pay too much attention to him.

'Now I can act with much more freedom!'

The temperature in the room raised even more, with the golden coins shining from the heat.

'At the same time, it should bolster my potential partnership with demons of anger!' Demons of anger loved to rampage, destroy, and smash stuff. It was their joy in the same way as hoarding gold for dragons.

Opening a gateway to allow large hordes of powerful demons through was extremely difficult.

Still, him being a dragon and Satanael being a fallen dragon allowed him to use the still-present connection of blood and the immense magical potency of his blood to easily invite Satanael's demonic armies into the main world.

'I will get my distraction, and Satanael will get the opportunity to unleash their armies and do... demon stuff. It is a partnership of mutual benefits, and that is the most stable kind.'

He finally understood what Satanael was attempting and why they were interested in him, 'I am possibly the only being in the main world that can summon them here at their full power. Not now, but in the future, I should...'

The world would burn with the demon armies rampaging throughout the continent. But Vesuvius no longer cared about the collateral damage that his actions would cause, 'It doesn't matter. They started it. Now they will burn!'

The dragon spread his wings, the light reflecting within his glinting crystal wings. The golden coins descended down the side of his golden mountain in a small golden avalanche, loudly clinging, dinging, and ringing.

'Disgrace... Let's see if you are truly worthy of your reputation.' Vesuvius got the information he needed from his growing information network, including the location of one of the targets of the quest given to him by the dragon god in exchange for his powerful ability.

'I still have two more abilities to evolve, and then I can go and get rid of that traitor.' He felt flames of rage explode from the depth of his heart. He learned what the wyrm did from the stories circling between wyrms and mortals.

'They are a traitor. The traitor that joined human thieves, cooperating with them to rob and slay their own kind.' The dragon kind was greedy, but even they had their limits and their own warped set of morals.

None of them would go as far as to kill their own kind to steal their treasures and split them with mortals. It was one of the greatest taboos that one could do.

'Then, when the time of reckoning came, they betrayed us all together and ascended to become a holy wyrm, a lapdog of angels, to gain protection. They are not only a traitor. They are also a coward. Truly worthy of being called a disgrace.' He felt disgust in his stomach; the wyrm impersonating all dragons hated.
