Above the large turquoise scales at the mouth of the bowl, a bright magical glow flowed over and over again. Strong, fluid limbs end in huge claws thicker than human thighs, waxed and maintained as brightly as a lady's nails, but no one doubts its destructive power. The grinding disc-sized rock had been crushed into unmeasurable pieces by its owner just standing up, and the slight lifting of its slender neck made the mighty beast seem taller than Valhalla's two-story school building.

The whole body is covered in magical scales, but on the cheeks, the joints of the limbs, the wings, and the end of the tail as thick as an ancient tree grow long turquoise feathers that seem to be transformed from scales. By visual inspection, André came to the rough conclusion that even the smaller ones were no shorter than his limbs, and that the long feathers on the wings, which were supposed to be used for flight, were taller than Andrari's super-heavyweight "fighters"!

This is the origin of the name of Kasena Starfeather Dragon, a guardian dragon that uses pure life force as a source of magic, to shock everyone.

The majestic magical pressure from Kasena's body made almost everyone feel a little breathless, as if even the air they breathed was affected by this huge source of magical power. Once again, Andre realized what mortals call "dragon power", and when this magic power large enough to overwhelm everyone gathered in the body of a giant beast, it gave him the feeling of being like a high-energy explosive on the verge of a tipping point. Although he knew that these magic powers bound by his master would never go berserk or collapse for no reason, and even if they were to dissipate, the damage to himself would be very limited. But André still looked like a short-sighted mortal, fearing that his casual action or sneezing would anger the owner of this vast magical power, causing her to detonate everything within a radius of several kilometers.

When the magic reaches the number of thousands of Mana and beyond, Andrei can only guess the approximate number by feeling, just like a greedy little girl can easily tell the number of candies in her hand, but when faced with a whole basket of candies, she can only describe it as "a lot", and the children of the abyss can only conclude that the magic in her body is "many, much" when they look at Kasanna's real body through their natural magic eyes.

"Lady Kasanna, can you fly?" the Child of the Abyss struggled for a long time before he asked such a question, but what made him struggle was that he never understood what to call the dragon lady in front of him on this occasion...... It's no wonder that she always has a confident and dismissive expression when she first appears, and the achievements that mortals possess in front of the powerful dragons are indeed not worthy of her excessive attention.

The Children of the Abyss felt that they probably had a similar feeling to her when facing the fish swimming in the river and the birds in the trees, and what did the ordinary lives that had nothing to do with their own destined lives have anything to do with them? Perhaps only the dogs and fowls belonging to Andrarui could make themselves stop occasionally and pat their heads affectionately.

Andre's question made most of the people present feel very stunned - the dragon can't fly, is it still a dragon? Your Highness's usual shrewdness, did you forget to take it with you when you went out this morning!?

But in fact, Andre asked this question carefully and thought it through.

In a world that seemed to be explained by scientific principles, almost all large creatures had physiology and characteristics that were distinctly different from those of other normal sizes. If you want to sum it up in a simple sentence, it is that the reason why large creatures can grow so big must have their own uniqueness.

For example, the more familiar elephant has a completely different skeletal structure from the conical column structure on the surface. To put it figuratively, the skeletal structure of an elephant's paw resembles that of a woman wearing "high heels", while its "high heel" is a thick cushion of flesh that cushions and bears weight. As a vegetarian creature with a huge appetite, most wild elephants have a habit of migrating long distances, and if it were not for this special structure that can adequately cushion the pressure of their body weight on the bones of their feet, long-distance migration may have been an "impossible" task for these huge land animals.

In addition to the unusual paw structure that is not so easily recognizable on the outside, the large size of the elephant also means that when it has just been active a lot, the heat accumulated in its body is more difficult to get out of the body than that of a normal creature. For mammals with relatively constant body temperatures, this is a fatal flaw. Hippos and whales of the same tonnage size are able to use water to speed up heat dissipation, and it is well known that the specific heat capacity of water is much higher than that of air, which is why most water-cooled machines are more efficient than air-cooled machines. And in the tropics, the water temperature is usually lower than the air temperature.

For elephants, their fan-like ears are an excellent natural heat dissipation device, and when blood passes through the huge ears, the habit of fanning the ears accelerates the air circulation on the surface of the ears, thus taking away more heat. Temperate foxes also typically have larger ears than their distant breezy cousins, all of which are the result of a wonderful evolution by natural selection.

For a creature as large as a dragon, flying is not something that can be done with two flaps of its wings!

If a sparrow could be easily enlarged to exactly twice its original size, then according to normal physical laws, its weight would increase to eight times its original size, that is, twice the cube. The bone strength and muscle strength of normal organisms have their own limits, and doubling the size and eightfold weight increase cannot be so enlarged indefinitely under the common laws of physics. For simple flying, it is naturally more advantageous to be small in size and light in weight. Terrestrial animals, on the other hand, do not need to fly, so their extreme size can reach the level of elephants. Aquatic species are even more likely to be larger than terrestrial species because buoyancy can evenly "share" their weight, rather than relying entirely on four legs to support their bodies like elephants.

In short, there is a certain reason to be able to grow so much in nature.

And why did the dragon grow so big? Among the ancient creatures in the previous life, it was not uncommon for them to be as large as a dragon, and there were even pterosaurs that could fly like dragons. But the existence of such a huge creature as dinosaurs also has its own unique reason.

First of all, although Kasena is slender and by no means bloated, she is naturally much plump and elegant compared to those "skinny" pterosaurs with short legs and muscles all over their sternum. Secondly, although the dinosaurs of the Jurassic Cretaceous period were able to grow so big, they were not the only ones who grew so big. At the same time as the large dinosaurs, the titan python could weigh dozens or even hundreds of times that of the ordinary pattern python, and the dinosaur in that era could grow to the size of a truck chassis. The reason why they were able to grow like that may be because the temperature and oxygen content of the planet at that time were much higher than later...... Of course, this is just a simple speculation. At the same time, it also proves that the size of dinosaurs at that time was not "maverick", and it was actually a relatively common phenomenon to have such a body shape in the environment at that time.

Kasena's size may not be unique, but André believes that a creature of this size must not be able to soar through the skies by relying solely on the laws of physics. The Thunder Whale, which was even larger than her, didn't even have wings, nor did it have the usual sense of eating, but anyone could see that there must be a huge amount of magic involved.

The magic contained in the body of this beautiful and huge creature in front of him may not be comparable to the magic dragon that roams among the heavy clouds, and it is even completely inferior to the scale caused by the miracle caused by the miracle when the goddess bestowed the divine seed, but because of the high condensation of the magic power, the powerful deterrent "dragon power" makes Andre feel extremely powerful and unnatural-even if he is blind, deaf, and has no magical talent, but as long as the consciousness is still awake, no one can ignore this huge pressure like substance.

As the gap between the cyan scales became as tight as a whole, the hidden muscles under the scales initially revealed their grandeur, and the muscles containing great strength were tensed like angular pieces of steel under the tough dragon skin. In an instant, it was as if the entire ground had sunk a little, and the cyan beast leaped up from the crowd! With the huge wind pressure of flying sand and rocks, the onlookers were pushed to the ground, and it was a terrifying air flow driven by the huge dragon wings. By the time the hurricane stopped and Andre lowered his arm to shield him from the wind and sand, the "young" dragon lady had turned into a cyan streamer in the sky!

Standing on the ground and looking up at the figure in the sky that was freely shuttling between the clouds and mist, the face of the Children of the Abyss showed a smile that was indeed like this—along with the seemingly simple leaping motion of Kasena just now, André could feel that the huge life force in her body might have consumed dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of Mana!

Similar to the Hippogriff that sheltered in Garanord, but more extreme. Since Kasena showed the body of a dragon, even any small movement has been accompanied by the uninterrupted operation of life force, perhaps it is because of such a powerful magic power in her body, as well as extraordinary magic control skills, that she can also have such an amazing physical quality when acting with a body similar to that of a mortal body!?

......

When the starry dragon had had enough of moving in the blue sky, she flapped her wings and landed slowly on the playground of Valhalla. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to add any trouble to the school that had benefited her so much, Kasena wouldn't have used this lukewarm landing.

"Your Highness, while I can understand your thoughts, I do not approve of you devoting your precious time to such a doomed and fruitless study. All mortals want to be as powerful as a dragon, but they don't understand how strong their physique, how long they have to live, and how long they have to persevere!"

Somewhat surprisingly, Kassena's voice in the body of a dragon was almost no different from her usual voice, but it was not very loud, but it was very clear to the ears of every onlooker.

"With your talents, you can use this time and effort to reach other levels that the world has never heard of...... Please let me rest under this ancient tree for a day or two, and then I'll be on my way back to Dragon Island. ”

Completely ignoring the others, Kasena coiled her slender dragon body into a semicircle and lay down in the shade of the only trunk in the playground, a thousand-year-old tree that was comparable to half a classroom......
