As Howard beheld the Oriental Divine Dragon, it transformed into a streak of golden light with a 'whoosh' and plunged directly into him.
In that instant, Howard felt his blood boil, and in his mind's eye, the shadow of a golden divine dragon emerged.
Instinctively, Howard wanted to resist the presence of the golden dragon, but recalling the voice he had just heard, he subdued his soul instead.
The next moment, to Howard's amazement, he found his soul merging with that of the golden dragon.
With a mighty roar, golden light surged within Howard's eyes.
Stamping his right foot on the ground with a clang, armor began to spread like liquid gold from his legs upwards.
This spectacle made even Solyes gape, halting him in his tracks.
And those behind him?
They were thoroughly startled by the sequence of transformations!
