Chapter 255 Freedom

• Noah found himself caught in the storm of two paths, both carrying consequences that weighed heavily on his soul. To remain as he was now—a human dragon—meant embracing a form of immense power that had already saved lives.
• Noah had seen with his own eyes what that power could do. It had turned the tide against the Syrics, burned through enemies like a storm of vengeance, and stood as a shield when his family would have otherwise fallen. That made it almost impossible to imagine letting it go.
• Yet, the cost of holding on was just as heavy. The claws, the scales, the wings—they were not temporary anymore. They were who he had become. Remaining this way meant that he could no longer take a human form.
