The Last Primal

Tak, the Guard Captain of the Temple Guards, the church's de facto militaristic force that made sure their rule could be kept on going over the poor, miserable folk of Ugburg has changed drastically. 

The poor, wretched, miserable Draconic Skink no longer existed, in place, a completely new and baffling hulking monstrosity a brute, fierce warrior could now be seen.

As Aiden glanced over his details in the system, he was absolutely shocked. His changes were the most baffling, the most outrageous out of all of his new system-accepted Minions, his newest addition to the Voragon Family Household.

As he read through the long list of notifications, Aiden was shocked beyond belief. The small, albeit just-hearted little creature, had turned into something that he would have never expected, even in his wildest dreams.

The once small Draconic Skink was now a massive beast-like creature, something the system termed as [Primal Draconic Dread Saurian Knight], which to be honest was way too long of a name for essentially what reminded Aiden to the illustrations of dinosaurs from his previous life's memories. 

His massive, musclebound frame easily dwarfed over the rest of his newly joined kin, the rebel force captains. With such a size, his previous armor hung loosely on his neck. It was actually quite a miracle it didn't tear apart and somehow, miraculously survived such an ordeal.

From the massive list of skills, Aiden found what his System's Guide, Enya was hinting at earlier. Surprisingly, Tak also inherited his special ability in a very restricted, limited version; he could use [Shapeshifting] albeit only to change his form back to his [Draconic Skink] origin.

Still, with the new skillset, which some probably was derived from his decades-long military service and his newly gained herculean strength, he was bound to make a couple of surprises once he returns to his assigned barracks.

Also, whilst most of the skills he had listed under his name in the system were either already familiar with Aiden, or could easily be derived, there were a few he wanted to check to understand exactly what did it entail.

First, he checked, [Predatory Senses], which he already had an inkling towards, but still wanted to make sure he was on the right track.

[Predatory Senses: The senses of a hunter, a predator of the beast world are sharper than average. The wielders of the skill can spread out their sharpened senses around themselves, creating a 10-meter radius aura per level around themselves. Life forms that could be counted as prey could no longer remain hidden once they enter this aura of awareness.

Notes: Every animal and or critter creature that is below the combined level of the Host and the skill will be automatically revealed, making the host aware of their exact location. The skill is passive thus does not require energy to remain active.]

Next, Aiden wanted to understand more about the [Bestial Rush].

[Bestial Rush: Guide the rage and ferocity towards driving the host's muscles into overdrive, causing a sudden surge in speed and momentum. Charge down your enemies, dealing massive damage upon impact!action

Note: Active Skill, requires energy for activation. Each invested energy invested will proportionately increase the rushing speed, thus building more and more momentum to be explosively released upon impact with target or obstacle. User is immune to the release of energy and the subsequent shock wave, but not for the resulting debris.]

Whilst he more or less already expected what the skill would do, he was still pleasantly surprised by it. Though Tak had a very limited amount of resources to work any active ability with, [Bestial Rush] had no minimum energy requirement. The investment was only related to the energy infusion to the impact, further increasing the velocity and Tak's speed. He could still run headfirst against his enemies even without investing a single point of his 50 point pool of [Soul Power], but it would have less of an impact, the outcome wouldn't be explosive in nature.

In any way, the skill was incredibly useful, Tak's power during battles would greatly increase even if his only gain would be this single ability. 

Though he was already shocked and surprised multiple times by now, Aiden still had one more skill he wanted to check before closing down the system screen. He focuses his intent on the strange and unknown but quite winded-sounding [Draconic Dread Saurian Form: War Cry of the Reptilian Overlord] ability of Tak.

[Draconic Dread Saurian Form: War Cry of the Reptilian Overlord: Unleash the true might and dominance of a true, born leader of all lizardkin! 

A dread saurian is a fearsome beast, a supreme, born king of the reptilian races. With a hint of the mighty and legendary dragon added into the mixture, the Draconid Dread Saurian is a creature that all living beings should fear. 

As the spiked fins of the Dread Saurian's back brush the top of the jungle canopy as they move around, these massive beasts were once constantly searching for prey to satisfy their never-ending hunger. Tearing into the flesh of anything below their level, these beasts bellowed an ear-shattering thunderous victory cry after each meal, signaling the demise of yet another creature. 

This ability is an evolved form of that cry, inducing fear and dread into the hearts of anything below the combined level of the Host and the skill, stunning them for a brief period, and lowering their abilities!

At the same time, all lizardkin hearing the roar of their overlord would have their moral soar to new heights, having their stats and skills greatly boosted.]

'What the… This… This is…' Aiden was once again stunned…
