Chapter 48: Awakening the Dragon
The enforcer emerged from the wreckage, his body trembling with barely contained fury. His obsidian scales shimmered under the dim lights, his form still growing, shifting, evolving beyond what Raizen had expected. This wasn't just some experiment—this was a monster in the making.
Raizen stood amidst the wreckage, his breathing steady despite the rush of energy coursing through his veins. His Draconic Ascendance was complete, but something deeper stirred within him—a shift in reality itself. A gift from the awakening.
The system pulsed, but this time, the notification wasn't about combat.
[New Ability Unlocked: Draconic World Subspace]
[Subspace Size: 1m x 1m x 1m (Upgradeable)]
Raizen blinked. "A subspace?"
The system expanded its explanation.
[Draconic World Subspace: A dimensional pocket accessible only to the host. Current size: 1 cubic meter. This space will expand as Draconic power increases.]
He raised a hand instinctively, and as if responding to his will, a tear in space shimmered before him—small, but undeniably real.
Liana's eyes widened, and she immediately grabbed his wrist, her grip firm. "Raizen," she said, her voice low and serious. "This isn't just some minor ability. A Draconic World Subspace… that's a legendary bloodline trait. Only a handful of beings in history have ever unlocked one."
Raizen frowned. "That rare?"
Liana nodded. "Extremely. Even among high-tier Draconic bloodlines, this ability is almost unheard of. It's not something you want anyone else to know about."
Raizen exhaled, closing his fist as the subspace shimmered and disappeared. He understood her warning. A power this rare would make him a target.
"I'll keep it quiet," he assured her.
Liana relaxed slightly but still kept a wary eye on him. "Good. Because if the wrong people find out… they'll stop at nothing to take it from you."
The system pulsed again.
[Note: Expansion requires high-tier Draconic energy sources. Certain artifacts, battles, and cultivation milestones will unlock upgrades.]
Raizen smirked. It was small now, but with time and power, it would grow.
Turning back to Liana, he smirked. "Looks like House Valen's little experiment gave me more than they expected."
Liana chuckled, though the seriousness never left her expression. "Then let's make sure they regret it."
With that, Raizen stepped forward, the battlefield shifting beneath his feet. He wasn't just fighting for survival anymore—he was building something greater.
