The heart was beating powerfully. After the red dragon's blood passed through the body, it entered the heart. Huge energy spurted out from the heart, transforming William's originally weak body as a human being.
The background of the world that William lives in is a fairy tale world, and the background of the era is the Middle Ages, not the golden age in Greek mythology, nor the prehistoric era in Eastern mythology.
Old William was an ordinary blacksmith. In the Middle Ages, when the average life span was only thirty-five years old, it would be a miracle for a normal human being to live to the age of seventy or eighty in modern times. He would already be an old man at the age of fifty.
The Knight of Lane is almost fifty years old. He can still wear heavy armor, pick up a spear, and ride on a war horse to gallop on the battlefield. However, this relies on the power of the Holy Seal. If he does not use the Holy Seal, even the Knight of Lane is nothing more. A healthy old man.
The Holy Seal cannot increase the life span of human beings, neither Old William nor Knight Lane.
Countless heroes who are famous and can fight with gods still cannot escape the fate of death, and King Arthur can only enter a deep sleep.
The laws of life cannot be exempted from ordinary people, princes, nobles, kings, emperors and popes.
Maybe the nobles can have the same average life span as the people of later generations, and maybe they have extraordinary power, but according to the laws established by God, even the pope, emperor, or great hero, magician will die after a hundred years. Ordinary people returning to heaven.
King Arthur's ability to be called the Eternal King is undoubtedly worthy of everyone's envy, even though it comes at the cost of eternal sleep.
Of course, for devout kings, this kind of eternity may not be what they long for. Dedicating yourself to the supreme authority and coming to a home (heaven) with abundant water and grass is what a true Christian king looks forward to.
There is no way to practice to become a god in this world, nor is there any option to practice for immortality.
"If I are resurrected, I will live at least one or two hundred years!"
William touched his chest and felt the powerful beating heart inside. It might be difficult for outsiders to detect this change, but William could intuitively feel the changes in his body, and even felt that his life span was increasing significantly.
He seems to have broken through the racial limitations of humans.
To put it in human terms, I seem to be becoming less and less human.
No matter what kind of creature it is, from birth to growth, each individual may have huge differences in strength, speed, physical strength, etc., but there is always a limit, and this limit is the limit of the race.
Humans are average animals among animals. No matter how we develop our human limits, humans will not be stronger than elephants, nor can they swim better than fish, nor can they see further than eagles.
Thoughts and wisdom can continue to surpass the limits of human beings, but physical fitness cannot. Even if one develops one's physical fitness as a human to its peak and limit, humans will not be taller than a giraffe, nor will they weigh more than an elephant. Heavier and unable to fly like birds.
This is the natural law of the world and will not be changed by personal will, even if it is a dragon-slaying warrior who can defeat the evil dragon.
However, the drop of red dragon's blood just now transformed his body, allowing him to break through the limitations of human beings. Not only did he become more powerful, but his life level also seemed to be different from that of humans.
Stronger than an elephant, better at swimming than a fish, and able to see farther than an eagle, William felt the changes taking place in his body and just murmured, "Can I still be considered a human being like this?"
Normal humans would not be as powerful as him, nor would they break through the physical limits of humans, nor would they live to be two hundred years old.
There is a limit to human lifespan, and William broke this limit.
William set his sights on Liam, the dwarf prince who was sleeping soundly. He said that he was once a human prince.
It has been hundreds of years since the Danaan Tribe was defeated by the Gaels, and Liam would never have survived this long if he were a human. It is precisely because he became an elf that he can survive until now.
Liam is no longer human and will I become an elf like him?
William was full of confusion, and suddenly a ray of light appeared in the sky, dawn arrived, and before he knew it, the sky began to light up.
----
Liam stretched, yawned with his mouth wide open, and looked at the sky. There was no sun but it was still radiating light. This was Annon, a different world in Celtic mythology.
"What a great night's sleep!"
Liam talked to himself and was excited. Although he seemed to hear someone calling his name in his dream, this did not affect his sleep.
In the different world of Annon, there are all kinds of people, including gods, elves, humans, and even various monsters and monsters.
"William, didn't you sleep?"
Liam looked at the boy who was sitting on the ground and didn't know what he was thinking, and asked curiously.
William heard Liam's question and subconsciously raised his head and stared at him in response to his greeting. Liam took a step back, and just after taking a glance, an inexplicable majesty came towards him, and this breath seemed to suffocate him.
This feeling, this feeling.
Can't be wrong, absolutely can't be wrong.
This kind of majesty is the power of the dragon.
Why does William have dragon power?
Liam looked at William in shock and said in surprise, "How is this possible, William, what happened, why is the dragon's power exuding from your body? I feel like there is a giant dragon hidden in your body." , no, you are simply a dragon."
"I don't know." William said blankly. King Arthur gave him the blood of the red dragon. Although he did not say that it must be kept secret, William chose to hide it due to his instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
He didn't know why a drop of red dragon's blood given by King Arthur would bring such drastic changes to his body, nor did he understand whether such a change was good or bad.
"Did you also buy a dragon egg from the magician like the brave Francis, and then use the holy sword to break the egg and gain the power of the dragon?"
Liam asked strangely. It is not a secret that the brave dragon slayer will gain the power of the dragon. The hero Siegfried, the hero in "The Nibelungenlied", killed the dragon. At the reminder of the little bird, he bathed in the dragon's blood, thus gaining the power of the dragon and possessing a body as invulnerable as Achilles and invulnerable to the gods.
It was just that Achilles' mother, the sea goddess Thetis, held Achilles' ankle and soaked it, so that her son obtained the indestructible body. However, because she grabbed the ankle, the ankle was not soaked in the water of the Styx. And left a weakness.
When the great hero Siegfried was bathing in the dragon's blood, a leaf happened to fall on his back. This Achilles-like weakness eventually led to Siegfried's subsequent death.
The brave Francis gained the power of the dragon by killing the "dragon egg". Although he didn't have many weaknesses, making soup with the dragon egg and drinking it turned the brave Francis into a mini dragon.
But because the dragon egg is too weak, it has no weaknesses, which means it is all weaknesses.
The dragon power on William's body was as terrifying as if he had killed a thousand-year-old dragon.
