Supreme BeastTamer: I Can Copy and Upgrade Skills 10x!

A chilling aura spread through the air as Zara's body radiated an intense, icy glow. The temperature around them plummeted instantly, frost creeping along the ground, freezing blades of grass, and coating the nearby city wall with a thin layer of ice.

Nox narrowed his eyes as he observed the transformation. The sight was beautiful; it reminded him of the time when he had first changed the race of his pets to elemental beasts. Only, the aura from Zara's transformation was much more suffocating.

Zara's petite form trembled as the glow intensified, her features becoming indistinct beneath the radiance. Then, with a powerful crack, a surge of icy energy exploded outward, sending a gust of chilly wind howling through the air.

Nox gritted his teeth as he felt the frigid wind slam into him. If one were subjected to such cold for more than five minutes, Nox was certain they'd turn into an ice statue.

A long, guttural roar escaped from within the glow—a sound both majestic and terrifying.

At that moment, the light faded.

And Nox saw that Zara was no longer the same.

Her humanoid form had disappeared, replaced by a towering dragon covered in gleaming azure scales. Her body had expanded to over ten meters in length, her once-small hands now sharp, deadly claws that looked capable of tearing through steel. Her long neck curved elegantly, supporting a fierce draconic head with glowing sapphire eyes that radiated an overwhelming presence.

She had massive translucent wings like frozen glass. When she flapped them, a gust of frigid wind blasted out, making ice rapidly form on the ground around her.

The very air around her grew colder, as if her presence alone was turning the surroundings into a winter wasteland.

Nox was momentarily left stunned, his mouth hanging open, and his eyes gleaming with amazement and fascination at the beautiful creature standing before him.

'Beautiful... she's beautiful,' he thought. This was the first time he had seen a dragon in real life! Yes, he might've seen a few on TV, but those were mere fiction.

"At this state, she seems even stronger," Nox muttered. As he walked around Zara, he stretched out a hand and touched her shimmering scales, feeling the cold that emanated from them. A tingling sensation coursed through his body.

Nox walked around her, coming to the front. A pair of dark, dangerous eyes and a pair of mesmerizing sapphire eyes locked onto each other. Nox stretched out his arms, and noticing what he was about to do, Zara lowered her head for him to stroke.

Behind her, her tail swished from side to side, a clear sign that she enjoyed Nox touch.

'Are you just going to stand there, or will you climb on and let's start our journey?'

Suddenly, Nox heard Zara's voice in his head, but looking at her, he noticed her maw hadn't moved. Nox was slightly confused. He could understand other beasts by translating their growls, but it seemed Zara could communicate with him directly through his mind.

Zara seemed to know this and quickly explained.

'I can communicate directly into the minds of those I choose. It's a skill unique to my race.'

Her voice echoed smoothly inside Nox's head, as if she were speaking right beside him. It wasn't the same as their usual telepathic link—it was clearer, more refined.

"Hmm, that makes sense," Nox nodded. "Then let's not waste time."

He took a step back before leaping onto her back with ease. The moment he settled in, Zara spread her wings, the massive appendages shimmering.

'Hold on,' she warned.

With a powerful flap, they soared into the sky. The icy wind howled past them, and Nox felt the world shrink beneath him as they climbed higher and higher. The city, the wall, the landscape—it all became tiny as Zara ascended, her wings cutting through the air with effortless grace.

For the first time in his life, Nox was flying on the back of a dragon. And it was exhilarating.

A grin stretched across his face as he tightened his grip on her scales. "This… this is incredible."

With a burst of speed, Zara shot forward, a streak of icy blue against the sky.

They soared so high that from below, the citizens of the Tristan Kingdom could only see a dot flying in the air, hence they didn't pay attention to it.

However, the same couldn't be said for one particular person. Naturally, that person was Luthair, the Tristan military commander. He hadn't simply left; instead, he had secretly stalked Nox and Wendy.

However, never in his life did he expect to witness such an unbelievable spectacle!

Luthair's eyes widened in sheer disbelief as he watched the magnificent dragon ascend into the heavens, carrying Nox effortlessly. His body tensed, and his mind raced with a thousand thoughts.

His hands clenched into fists as he made a decision. Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire

Luthair, the second-in-command of the Tristan Kingdom, watched the direction Nox had flown one last time before heading back to the castle to report to the king.

"No matter what, we must snatch him!" He clenched his fist. "Even if that means we'll have to go against our morals."

Hundreds of meters in the air, Nox held tightly to Zara as they soared through the sky. His hair whipped wildly in the fierce wind, but his dark eyes remained sharp, taking in the breathtaking view below.

As expected, the difference between flying on a wyvern and a dragon was vast. The power of Zara's wings carried them effortlessly through the sky, her movements smooth and precise. Despite her massive form, she maneuvered with incredible agility, adjusting her altitude and angle with the slightest twitch of her wings.

This was something Doombringer could never achieve. Its flight pattern was stiff, rigid.

Just like Zara had claimed, they didn't stop to take a break. The sun fell and rose again, and before the first dawn of light, Nox noticed that the temperature had plummeted drastically.

Because he had not slept well for the last few days, Nox had fallen asleep mid-flight. Groggily opening his eyes, he looked below.

Beneath them, snow-covered hills, towering mountains, and frozen forests stretched endlessly, glistening beneath the pale morning light.

'We're here,' Zara announced.
