Chapter 236: Netherborn Phantom Emperor Bloodline + Dragonic Form, New Harvest
Isaac raised his brow.
"Dragonic Form? Is this what I think it is?"
He didn’t hesitate for long. He activated the skill.
The change came instantly.
Horns pushed out from his forehead, curving slightly end.
His body bulked up, muscle layering over his already improved frame.
His back split his shirt apart as pitch-black wings tore through the fabric.
A thick, scaled tail grew behind him. It was long and black.
Isaac turned toward the mirror on the wall.
"Woah," he said quietly.
The reflection staring back was intimidating.
The horns and wings carried a dark, and domineering feel.
They weren’t ordinary wings either.
Their texture looked like shadow turned solid with faint wisps of black mist curling off the edges.
Golden cracks ran through his wings, tail, and horns.
The bright color made him look majestic despite the sinister base black color.
He spread out his wings slowly and gave them a test flap.
A blast of wind surged through the room, strong enough to rattle the furniture.
Isaac blinked in surprise, glancing around at the disturbed papers on the desk.
"That’s... powerful. I might actually be able to fly quite fast with this. Probably not gracefully yet, but it’s possible as long as I train properly and get used to these wings."
He flexed his hands and rolled his shoulders.
Strength poured through his body, but it was hard to separate the source.
"Is this just from the stat increase earlier, or is it the dragonic form itself?" he wondered aloud. "It’s hard to tell when my stats have jumped only minutes ago."
After a few more moments of observation, he canceled the skill.
His horns sank back into his head.
His wings and tail dissolved into nothing, and his body slimmed down.
He felt normal again, though the ruined shirt hanging from his shoulders reminded him of the cost.
Isaac looked down at the shredded fabric with a sigh.
"I suppose I need to prepare different clothes if I’m going to use this form often—"
Another thought struck him, and he straightened.
"What if I combine this with the Netherborn Phantom Emperor Bloodline?"
Curious, he pulled another shirt from his drawer and slipped it on.
He activated the bloodline ability, his body shifting into a state that allowed him to phase through objects.
"The wings should be able to phase through the shirt now."
He activated Dragonic Form again.
The horns and tail appeared without issue, but the moment his wings sprouted, the shirt tore to pieces once more.
"What did I do wrong this time?"
He studied the result carefully.
The issue became clear fast enough.
His clothes had become ’phaseable’ with him, just like Emily’s did.
It was what allowed Emily to touch her clothes even though she could phase through walls.
Otherwise, she would’ve phased through her clothes and become naked every time she tried to phase through walls.
"Alright. What if I keep only the back part of the shirt normal while keeping rest of the shirt in the ’phase state’? That way, the wings can phase out without tearing it."
He put on another shirt and tried again, concentrating harder this time.
His body and most of the shirt entered the ’phaseable state’, but he allowed the back section to shift back into a solid state.
When the wings burst out this time, the fabric didn’t rip.
Instead, they phased smoothly through the back of the shirt.
"Yes!" Isaac said, grinning.
The process wasn’t easy.
Holding half his body and clothes in one state while keeping another part separate demanded serious focus. Still, it worked.
He tested it a few more times, turning Dragonic Form on and off, making sure the shirt remained intact.
Satisfied, he canceled both powers and leaned against the wall.
"I’ll have to practice this a lot. But with this, I would be able to use this skill outside, should the need ever arise."
He gathered the pile of torn fabric and tossed it into the bin. Then he left the house, stepping out into the open air.
The farm spread out before him.
His eyes immediately went to the crops.
The rows of plants glowed faintly.
"Finally," Isaac said, walking toward them. "The crops reached Tier 2."
Isaac crouched down to examine the leaves and stems.
He could feel the mana and nutrients each vegetable contained.
He grinned, picking up his hoe from the spatial ring.
With a practiced motion, he swung it down.
The vegetables were harvested instantly.
They rose in the air, covering the sky and to him before resting next to him in mountains.
