This was the concretization of the ability she had awakened during this slumber.
"Oh my?~ Is this my cheat ability?"
Jonavili scrutinized the ice-blue clock before her, her inner excitement almost impossible to hide.
She had already investigated and understood the draconic magic and new talents awakened during this slumber. First and foremost was this ice-blue clock, which was her greatest gain from this journey.
Leading the charge were the three most basic time abilities: time stop, time acceleration, and time reversal.
"These names are too bland. From now on, I've decided: time acceleration will be officially renamed [Chrono Surge], time stop will be [Chrono Lock], and finally, you, I'll call you [Retrospection]."
Jonavili nodded in satisfaction, quite pleased with her new names, before beginning to browse carefully.
[Chrono Surge]: Allows acceleration of one's own time flow. The higher the flow rate, the faster mana is consumed. (Can be upgraded).
[Chrono Lock]: Casts time stop within a certain range centered on oneself. However, if there's a significant power disparity, there's a risk of the target forcibly breaking free, and the greater the disparity, the weaker the effect of the stasis. (Can be upgraded)
[Retrospection]: Can rewind time within a certain range. However, the stronger the target being rewound and the higher their status, the weaker the effect, or it may even be impossible to rewind. Additionally, you can choose whether to retain the memories of those affected by the rewind according to your will. (Can be upgraded)
[Draconic Majesty]: Absolute prestige derived from the Dragon bloodline, functioning through mental deterrence, aura suppression, and extraordinary pressure. The lower the target's race/strength, the stronger the suppression; Dragons of the same tier can nullify each other, while higher-tier Draconic Majesty can overwhelm across species.
Special Draconic Majesty from the white dragon and silver dragon combination: Within the range of Draconic Majesty, targets will feel bone-chilling cold, causing freezing and slowing, reducing agility by 10%, and can purify curses and corruption effects. (Can be upgraded)
[Darling of the Sky]: As a Dragon, the sky is your home. You can soar freely through the sky, reducing your flight consumption, increasing your flight speed, and making you more at ease.
[Elementalization] ([Ethereal Elementalization]): You can choose to transform your body into ice crystal elements, becoming an aggregation of elemental particles, immune to all physical attacks.
([Solid Elementalization]): You can also choose to transform your body into solid ice, greatly increasing your defense and physical resistance.
Note: Elementalization can significantly enhance the power of ice element abilities, but it will also cause damage from counteracting elements like fire to increase exponentially. (Can be upgraded)
Draconic Magic — [Profound Frost Ice Armor]: Can condense an ice crystal armor on the body, greatly increasing defense, but it will be countered by fire elements.
Draconic Magic — [Ice Spirit Blast]: The attacked area will generate a huge explosion.
Draconic Magic — [transformation]: Can transform into the appearance of other races.
Of these three draconic magic spells, only transformation was actively learned by Jonavili.
After seeing the improvements brought by this slumber, Jonavili really wanted to jump up and exclaim, "Holy cow!" and shout, "Who else dares to challenge me?!"
After all, this was practically writing 'invincible' on the surface. Time, the power of time, how captivating it was—a power that even the gods of this world had not mastered.
Moreover, her previous talents had also been strengthened to varying degrees during this slumber.
"Forget it, I'll go take a look first, see what changes have occurred outside these past five years."
With the power of time, Jonavili was exceptionally sensitive to the flow of time, which also explained why she could know how much time had passed without any obvious reason.
In the dark cave, a pair of crystalline blue dragon eyes slowly opened. The sight that met Jonavili's gaze made her pause.
"This height..."
Turning her dragon head, Jonavili noticed that her perspective had significantly elevated, meaning she had grown taller!
She looked at her dragon body, which was entirely covered in pristine white dragon scales, shimmering with a silvery metallic luster.
And after this slumber, Jonavili had transformed from her original chubby physique into a graceful, streamlined form. She was estimated to be at least sixteen meters long, and her height while lying down reached three meters.
Spreading her senses, Jonavili also found that her dragon horns had become thicker and longer, smooth and pure white, covered with intricate spiral patterns, and had grown from one pair to two pairs.
Ice-spike-like white keratin had grown around her dragon head, making her appear more ferocious and majestic.
Feeling her changes, Jonavili bared her dragon maw.
"By Dragon aesthetic standards, I must be a truly beautiful Dragon, after all, silver dragons are top-tier in looks."
However, the cave was too small; Jonavili's entire body was squeezed within it, making it difficult to move.
With a thought, she immediately cast [transformation].
A flash of blue and white light enveloped Jonavili's entire dragon form.
As the light gradually faded, a small girl, about one meter forty-something tall, revealed herself.
She appeared to be around seven or eight years old, with a delicate, snow-white face tinged with a faint, icy pink.
Her eyes were crystalline blue, like a lake embedded with shards of ice, and her eyelashes were long, dense, and pure white.
Long, silver-white hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and she stood naked on the ground.
Jonavili stared at the changes in her body, her eyes wide, feeling her nose warm.
"Woah, this... this is really me? Hiss—I'm so damn beautiful. If I went out like this, wouldn't I charm countless boys and girls? Indeed, growing up made all the difference, hehehe~"
Unconsciously, a beautiful, childlike face broke into the white dragon's characteristic silly grin, and a warm liquid involuntarily flowed out, bringing Jonavili back to her senses.
Jonavili hastily wiped away the nosebleed, coughing twice.
"Cough, cough~ Just human nature."
With a thought, the bright red blood transformed into ice crystals, which crumbled completely with a slight effort.
Looking at her naked body, Jonavili still retained a hint of humanity; at least she should wear clothes in front of others.
She then used her mana to condense an ice crystal dress. Although not extravagant, it further accentuated her elegance and purity.
"But why do I feel an uncomfortable sense of constriction? As if my entire Dragon self is crammed into this tiny body."
"Never mind, I'll go out and see, and get a good meal while I'm at it. I'm starving."
After five years of slumber, upon awakening, she was greeted by an intense hunger that rushed to her mind.
Jonavili slowly ascended, floating barefoot towards the cave entrance.
Feeling the warmth of the sun, Jonavili, who hadn't seen daylight in a long time, squinted her eyes, but the powerful adaptability of a Dragon quickly allowed her to recover.
"What lovely weather."
Scanning her surroundings, the changes on the right side of the Sam River caught Jonavili's attention.
There, a medium-sized city-state had been built, but that wasn't the most important thing; most importantly, a black dragon was flying above the city.
Feeling the gaze scrutinizing him, Gris paused, then turned towards the dragon nest, instantly locking onto Jonavili, who had just flown out.
"Who dares to stare at the great Gris!"
