Chapter 61: Weapon Enchantment and Remodeling, Is Kaido's Dragon Form a Cloud Serpent

After several days, Silver Moon City finally received good news.

The Blood Elf Regent Aqiang promised to send Luode and the others to the outer realm, and also sent a few enchanting and inscription mages, as well as gem inlay artisans.

Kaido and the others were also sent over from Aoruima, and the teleportation ceremony was completed by the Blood Elf mages stationed in both places working together.

Luode's group finally met up in Undercity.

"Have you taken care of things on your end, kid?" Kaido asked.

To be honest, after living in Orgrimmar for a while, he grew very fond of these orcs.

These orcs are simply the perfect subordinates, their combat power is extraordinarily fierce, which fits perfectly with the style of his Beasts Pirates.

However, after getting to know them for a while, he also realized that subduing these orcs would be nearly impossible.

These guys can't be subdued by force alone, and this is exactly what Kaido dislikes the most.

"I've pretty much finished things on my end, and I've prepared a surprise for you—consider it a special gift!" Luode said, smiling at Kaido.

Sylvanas, standing nearby, also walked over and looked him up and down, taking in Kaido's enormous size.

He really is a giant—his size is no smaller than that of some Titan Guardians. Is this the Dragon King–level existence that Luode kid mentioned?

"Hahaha! A little surprise? What kind of power‑boosting method is this? I'm super interested." Kaido lowered his huge head, looking at Luode and laughing loudly.

After following Luode to this world, his strength increased considerably, even surpassing the Four Emperors level, making his future path much clearer, which made him very excited.

"In a moment, take out your spiked club and Yamato's as well; the Blood Elf mages here will enchant and inscribe your weapons, then socket them with gems." Luode said.

"Huh? What does 'coating and inscription' mean? Socketing gems? Forget it—I don't need my weapons to be overly flashy; gem socketing is just showy and impractical." Kaido shook his head and said.

"It's not the kind of gem socketing you imagine; it's not just about making weapons look better. Here, socketing gems adds various special magical properties to weapons, enchantment applies various magical effects, and magical inscription reforges the weapon with magic, improving its quality and power." Luode said.

Come on, you coarse fellow actually look down on this? In the Azeroth world, it's not common for the Blood Elf race to personally handle enchanting and inscribing weapons.

"Any other benefits? Can this kind of weapon be mass‑produced? If I equipped all my subordinates with such weapons, hahahaha!" Kaido let out a manic laugh.

"Can't you alone handle the other three Emperors now? All right, hurry up and bring out your weapons—Yamato, you too." Luode said.

Kaido nodded, then heaved his spiked club over four meters long onto the ground; it landed with a thud, shaking the whole floor—you can imagine how heavy the weapon Kaido wields is!

Sylvanas nodded, and dozens of undead came over to drag Kaido's spiked club away; then the Blood Elf mages began to examine his weapon with various magical scans.

"This weapon looks… just like ordinary forged steel."

"Exactly! It's just been made using some special compression forging."

"What crude craftsmanship! If the dwarves had forged it, it would be far more perfect."

"However, the compressed steel is not bad, and the weapon is well protected; we'd best melt some Arcane Gold Ingots and True Steel Ingots into it to improve its quality."

"Agreed! We can also reinforce the weapon, then apply coating and inscription, and socket gems."

"What are we waiting for? Let's get started already," said an impatient Forsaken dwarf.

Among the Forsaken, there are also a few former dwarf Forsaken who, after becoming undead, are engaged in crafting weapons for the Forsaken.

Sylvanas, standing nearby, began to listen to the report on the forging plan from this group of Blood Elves and her own subordinate Forsaken dwarves.

"Luode! They've finished discussing—they'll add some Arcane Gold Ingots and True Steel Ingots to these weapons to boost their quality, then enchant, inscribe, and socket them with gems, which should take about seven days. Can you wait?" Sylvanas said.

"No problem, we'll wait seven days, then head to the outer realm after seven days." Luode said.

"All right! What about the dragon scales you promised me? I'm really looking forward to them." Sylvanas said.

"Cough cough! Just wait a moment—I'll go get them for you now." Luode said, rubbing his nose. Sylvanas smiled and followed behind him, also wanting to see how formidable this Dragon King–level creature is.

"Kaido, Yamato, and Runti—how's their training going? Have they mastered the power of rage?" Luode said.

"Don't worry, their aptitude is excellent; they grasped rage just two days after you left, and they've picked up quite a few warrior skills here—I even learned a Recklessness skill and some roar‑type abilities." Kaido said.

These orcs' warrior skills still have some merit; at least this battle shout is very useful, akin to the mental application of Observation or Conqueror's Haki.

It can frighten enemies, boost allies' morale, and even add some stamina; Recklessness increases his attack power as well.

If we manage to build a Dark Portal, perhaps all members of the Beasts Pirates could end up switching to the warrior class.

"Kaido! I have a request—could you peel off a few dragon scales for me to use? I'd like to craft some armor." Luode said.

"Huh? You want my scales? What a joke! Don't you know that Devil Fruit transformations are just mimicry? Even if these scales fell off, they'd just turn into skin flakes or something, right?" Kaido rolled his eyes and said.

Do you know what a Mythical Beast is? Why add the "phantom" character? If such an ability truly existed, Vegapunk would have long used my scales to forge weapons.

Hearing this, Luode was somewhat surprised—he hadn't expected such a claim! But Kaido is also right.

If his scales were really that potent, Vegapunk would have already experimented with them—after all, this guy has been captured by the Marines more than a few times.

But that's in the pirate world; if it were in Azeroth, would the effect be different? Moreover, the current Kaido is no longer the original Kaido.

"Things are different now, and we're in another world—a completely new one—how do you know it won't work? Come on, try transforming." Luode said.

In the pirate world, dropped scales revert to normal skin, but in Azeroth that's not necessarily true—especially since your lot has been bathed in fel energy and rage.

"You damn brat, I get it—what are we going out to do? If I transformed here, I'd outright destroy the whole city." Kaido said, speechless.

He wasn't joking—if he triggers the transformation now, his size would be even greater than before. After drinking fel blood, his height increased considerably, reaching 7.6 meters, and after learning rage.

He also gained a muscle‑burst mode that enlarges his frame further, potentially up to eight meters.

These enlargements also strengthened his Divine Dragon form.

Luode nodded, briefed Sylvanas on the situation, and the group then headed to Tirisfal Glades outside Undercity.

Kaido stretched his body, then went to a distance and directly initiated his Divine Dragon transformation—the first time he has assumed dragon form since arriving in this world.

Only to see Kaido's entire body begin to twist, his head start to deform, developing toward a dragon's shape.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" A sky‑shaking bellow rang out, and Kaido turned into a massive dragon, circling above Undercity as thunder and lightning flashed in the heavens.

At this moment, Kaido's body reached the scale of kilometers, terrifying to the extreme, a dreadful pressure and savage aura washing over everything.

At this very moment, Luode clearly felt it. Compared to the first time he witnessed Kaido's transformation on Onigashima, Kaido's strength has increased again.

"This… this! Looks like the Cloud Serpent of the Lost Continent? But this size is simply enormous." A Blood Elf mage said.

As a former High Elf mage, he still recognizes some things—High Elves come from the night‑elf upper nobility, so they have some historical records of the Pandaren Empire.

However, an ordinary Cloud Serpent is only about ten or so meters long; even the largest recorded Cloud Serpent doesn't exceed thirty meters.

This kilometer-scale giant dragon is a bit too huge; especially the oppressive pressure coming from this giant divine dragon is simply frightening.

Indeed, it's a Dragon King-level build, and its aura is quite ferocious; it shouldn't be a Cloud-descending Dragon, as a Cloud-descending Dragon couldn't be that strong, nor could it have such a huge build." Xierwanasi said."

No wonder Luode this guy is so confident; she also has a bit of anticipation for this huge-bodied creature similar to a Cloud-soaring Dragon.

"This isn't just any Cloud-soaring Dragon; Cloud-soaring Dragons are merely ordinary mounts tamed by pandaren, but this is a divine dragon capable of summoning wind and rain, commanding the power of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning." Luode said.
