Like a tidal wave crashing down, the energy surged forward—and then, from each dragon’s maw, blinding beams of raw magical energy blasted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woooosh! Woooosh! Woooosh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the battlefield, the Shadow Matriarch commander cracked her whip, summoning dark magic in a desperate attempt to rally her forces. The air shimmered with power as she tried to recreate the devastating combo from earlier—but this time, it didn’t work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KRRAAA-BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A storm of fury descended from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, a monstrous dragon claw tore through the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orryn, the Green Dragon, was a blur of motion—his wings slicing through the air as he dove into the heart of the Shadow Matriarch ranks. He moved like a living missile, piercing through their formation again and again, weaving in and out with terrifying speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, their coordination fell apart. Orryn’s relentless assault shattered their ability to launch a unified counterattack. And then, the rest of the Green Dragon legion struck—hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t just attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theydevouredthem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROAR!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROAR!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROAR!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>RUMMMMMMBLE...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Venomous Dragon Breath!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orryn’s roar split the sky, and with it came the unleashing of his most terrifying innate ability. A beam of deep emerald energy—so intense it looked like it could punch a hole through the heavens—erupted from his jaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slammed downward like a divine judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the shockwave of Draconic Force spread for miles in every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever it touched, Shadow Matriarchs were obliterated—like they’d been hit by artillery shells. Hundreds of them were wiped out in seconds, their bodies crumpling like rag dolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their numbers decimated and their formation shattered, the remaining Shadow Matriarchs didn’t stand a chance. Orryn led the Green Dragon legion in a final, merciless sweep—cleaning up every last one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single enemy survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And over on the other fronts, the Black Dragon and Red Dragon legions were doing the exact same thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within minutes, the entire battlefield fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow Matriarch army had been completely annihilated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not one escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—like music to Ethan’s ears—the system notifications started rolling in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Congratulations, Player [Valkarion]. Your Hero Unit [Green Dragon Orryn] has reached Level 55 and is now undergoing Second Evolution!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Congratulations, Player [Valkarion].

You are now Level 71!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Congratulations, Player [Valkarion]. You have reached Level 71 and triggered Divine Evolution!

You are the first player inGlory Lords Xto ascend to Intermediate Deity! You have earned the following rewards:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Hero Units gain +1 Adaptive Level\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receive 50 Mythic Units (Tier 14), either random or player-selected\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that round of upgrades, Orryn had shot straight up to level 55—triggering his second evolution. Meanwhile, Ebonite Colossus Kaiin lagged just a bit behind at level 52.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why the gap?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orryn was a combat-type Hero Unit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaiin, on the other hand, was built for defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when it comes to grinding enemies, defense units just can’t keep up with offense units. That’s just how it is—completely expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But putting that aside...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan had scored big this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After deliberately taking out a few extra Black Dragons, he’d managed to push his own level up to 71.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And hitting level 71 meant he now had the power to evolve into an Intermediate Deity—just like Seraphina had earlier. Which also meant his strength had probably just taken a massive leap, same as hers did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that wasn’t all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also the First-to-Reach reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty Mythic Units—Tier 14, either random or player-selected. That alone helped make up for the heavy losses he’d taken in this battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because let’s be real—he’d lost alot. Every bit of reinforcement helped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there was the real gem:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"+1 Adaptive Level to all Hero Units.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nowthat’sthe good stuff,\" Ethan muttered to himself, grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still remembered the early days—back when he’d scored a +3 Adaptive Level bonus for his Hero Units. That had set the bar high. So later on, when he got +2s or +1s, they didn’t feel quite as exciting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, thinking it through...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a +2—or hell, just a +1—was ahugedeal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take this current situation, for example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphina and Malenthia had been locked in a dead-even fight. But what if Seraphina suddenly jumped to level 72 thanks to this +1?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’d be the final straw—the one that tips the whole damn scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the best part?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t a single-unit buff. It wasglobal. Every Hero Unit under his command got the boost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tell him that’s not badass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasseriouslybadass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, Ethan didn’t waste another second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Use the reward,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Player Valkarion, are you sure you want to use the reward: +1 Adaptive Level to all Hero Units?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Confirm,\" Ethan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, his level—and the levels of all his Hero Units—jumped up by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan: Level 72.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphina: Level 72.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orryn: Level 56.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaiin: Level 53.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROOOAAARRRR!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden surge in power hit Seraphina like a lightning strike. In the middle of her brutal clash with Malenthia, she let out a thunderous dragon roar that shook the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The level-up had hit her hard—and in the best way possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strength flooded her body. Her muscles tightened, her wings flared wide, and her eyes gleamed with a wild, primal light. The rush of power was intoxicating, and for the first time in this drawn-out battle, she felt it—hope. Real, tangible hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like someone had ripped the chains off her soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She feltfree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong, you filthy old hag of the Dungeon? Keep going! Why’d you stop? Weren’t you just trying to kill me a second ago? I’m just gettingwarmed up! Come on! Fight me! FIGHT ME!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphina’s voice was a savage roar, her tone dripping with bloodlust and unhinged excitement. She stepped forward, one clawed foot at a time, her eyes blazing with a feral hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to feel her claws tear through flesh, to rip her enemy apart piece by piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted todestroy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Malenthia’s expression had gone from cold to downright grim. Her face darkened like a storm cloud, lips pressed into a tight line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it... her power just spiked again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For beings at their level, even the slightest shift in strength was noticeable. But this? This wasn’t subtle. This was a full-on transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malenthia had felt it the moment it happened—Seraphina’s sudden leap in power. And it wasbadnews.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She moved to strike again, but the moment she did, a wave of danger slammed into her instincts like a hammer. Her eyes widened—too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHRRRIP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphina’s claws tore through the space where Malenthia had just been, slicing the air like it was paper. The attack was faster. Stronger. More precise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malenthia barely dodged in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her speed... it’s increased. Her strength, her Divine Power, even the Draconic Force she’s putting out—it’s all stronger now... Shit. She’s almost overpowering me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malenthia locked eyes with Seraphina, her gaze sharp, calculating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But inside?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was already thinking about how to get the hell out of there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keep fighting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was no longer an option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1229,"2026-06-05T15:15:29.581Z",1,"novelbin.me","e9d5eef57b12c847cb4733b30d1eda4102061ecffc1e0d1abbb3a310aa8fd91d","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-482","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-480",1138,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmystic-calling-stone-of-glory-cover.jpg"]
