Not having the blood satiety stat felt awkward to max for so reason but he was relieved that it was gone.
When in a battle Max was always conscious about his blood satiety falling below 60% and his alter-ego taking over, now that the threat was gone he felt much better.
He could now fight to his hearts content knowing full well that should the battle drag longer than expected he would be able to continue fighting without having to worry about a shift in personality.
" Thank you for all your help " Max said softly to Rhea who looked at the kid and rolled her eyes in disbelief.
Today had been an extrely tireso day for her and the dragonification process of Max was nothing short of a miracle.
If Max did not possess an inherent healing ability via blood absorption, that kept his HP afloat during his bleeding period he might not have survived the procedure.
Max's initial constitution as a primordial vampire was pretty strong, in and of itself which also played a part in him staying alive because at his lowest HP point there were only 40 points in HP left which ant that it was a difference of just 1 single stat point in constitution between life and death.
After the dragonification process Max saw a huge boost in three key areas –
His intelligence stat had seen a good boost, as although Max could not feel it himself, the neural links within his brain had improved significantly.
Dragons were extrely intelligent species and the improved neural link was a part of the reason behind Max feeling like a fog had been lifted from his mind as he was able to think and process more clearly than ever before.
It was precisely for this reason that Kreth wanted to temper Max's temperant before the dragonification process as he knew that afterwards Max would start developing conscious thoughts in the direction of his temperant.
His wisdom stat which was previously a question mark was also unlocked and it was at a respectable 65.
The second big change was in his net HP bar which had increased by leaps and bounds as a result of his constitution improving and his superior racial traits improving his overall build.
Max was pretty athletic before as it is, but now he looked like a complete Viking warrior. He was wide at his shoulders, unnaturally wide and packed with muscle while his tall stature and toned V shape body made him look like a complete physical specin.
Max noticed that his wide build helped him put more force into his swings and he was now more capable of performing actions such as sword thrusts and jabs.
The last noticeable change was the introduction of the mana stat, as with mana now coursing through his veins Max could finally start using the Agni-Astra to its full potential.
' We did it Grandpa Drax, We did it! ' Max said in his head with enthusiasm as he got a dry and tired sounding reply from the A.I that said ' good job kid, I'm now gonna take a quick nap, it may take 1 year or so to wake up, don't miss too much, the other features of the Agni-Astra will be available as usual ' Drax said as he then switched off.
' Grandpa Drax? Are you okay? ' Max tried to ask, however, he got no response from the old A.I
What Max did not know was that Drax had gone over the top to save his life during the procedure using a lot of latent energy of the Agni Astra to heal the imdiate injuries of Max.
Max's mood dampened a little when he thought that it would take a year for Drax to reboot again but he tried to wash away the sadness by testing out his new powers with the Agni-Astra
Max pulled the details of the Agni-Astra just to confirm if his mory about the weapon's features served him right.

—-----------
' Yes! Just like I rembered 1000% boost to any fire mana based attacks ' Max thought as he took in a large breath of air before facing towards the sky and releasing a strong [ Dragon-breath ] attack.
Max produced a powerful 25 tre long fla which had a respectable temperature enough to lt steel on earth.
" Wow! " Mira exclaid as she happily hopped into the now sizzling runic formations and tackled Max in a bear-hug.
Mira was probably the most happy that Max had successfully survived the dragonification process and she was not shy to show him her affection.
" I thought you would die " Mira said as Max hugged her neck gently and embraced the kiddo.
" I'm okay " Max said as he looked towards Rhea and then Kreth before bowing politely in respect.
" Co with kid, we need to see if your allergy to sun is any better " Kreth said, not displaying any emotion on Max's current state even though his heart was secretly in satisfaction and euphoria.
Max followed his master with extre caution, ever since he had been burnt by the sun for the first ti he had only removed clothing layers from over his body indoors as even diffracted sunlight was irritating for him to bear.
It was a pitiful way of living and a big disadvantage for him in battle, as he could not avoid getting bruised and cut in battles all the ti and take damage from sunlight over such cuts.
Kreth took Max to a nearby hilltop and then used a wind-palm to clear the clouds above to let sunshine co through.
Max saw the rays of the sun fall from between the clouds and his red draconic pupils constricted a bit looking at the rays of light.
Max put his hand towards the sunlight and expected his hand to start burning or his body to feel uncomfortable but thankfully no such reaction occurred as the sunlight bounced off harmlessly against Max's scaly skin.
" Good, losing HP to sunlight is a truly pitiful way of living, imagine my disciple losing out to an inanimate object
Disgraceful " Kreth said as he took off from the hilltop leaving Max alone to enjoy the bright sunlight for the first ti in over a year.
Max basked in the sunlight and although he could not feel it's warmth from under his scales he felt an indescribable amount of joy by just being able to touch sunlight again.
The draconification process had cured so of Max's biggest drawbacks and Max was extrely happy about it.
**************
( Present Day )
Max finished narrating his story as Jhonny stroked his chin in contemplation hearing his tale.
" So basically what you are telling is, you were allergic to sunlight? But now that you are a cold blooded lizard you enjoy it? " Jhonny asked as Anna rolled her eyes in disbelief once again.
' Seriously, of all the things that Max said, THAT is the god's takeaway? ' Anna wondered as she threw Jhonny a doubtful glance.
" So yeah Max beca a half-dragon, soon after that about 2 months later my dragon egg finally hatched and I had my pet dragon!
The rest of our days were spent training our pets and learning the ways of the coward, perfecting our cowardice and improving our techniques.
Coming out we are much more cowardly and we are proud of it.
May the cowardice be with you! " Sebastian said as Max clapped his hands together and repeated after Sebastian " May the cowardice be with you "
Anna once again rolled her eyes at this, she did not get what the big deal was behind being a coward, but apparently it was extrely important to both Max and Sebastian for so reason.
" My and Asiva's dragon also hatched around the sa ti as yours, but while I had so ti to train it, Asiva was already on a mission when hers hatched " Anna said as all attention turned towards her.
" About that, what mission was the woman exactly on? " Jhonny asked as Anna's face darkened as she replied " I don't know much, it was her revenge mission that much is for sure but sohow it went wrong and now she is captured "
Anna said as Jhonny nodded his head and said " Alright kids, since the won have ssed up the n must clean up!
I'll co help you clean this ss up, we leave today itself "
Max bead in joy hearing that Jhonny accepted the mission, as with him around the chances of saving Asiva had increased tenfold.
