Reincarnated As A Dragon With Cheats-Chapter 25: Sacrifice (2)

Chapter 25: Sacrifice (2)

Just a few days ago, Pebbles had been lying motionless.

He was evolving.

It was a creation pathway that he had chosen. And now, he was almost there.

Ding!

[Progress: 90%]

[Please complete the following task to continue evolving.]

This particular message had popped up.

Pebbles blinked a few times. He was in a space too different from what he had seen before.

This space had a certain characteristic. It was pitch black.

The only source of illumination was the blue screen that displayed the message with a particular task.

[Task: Use the provided features to create an avatar.]

[Note: An avatar is a character that the host will create and bring into existence. The avatar will consider the host its God and will be completely loyal.]

He chose one by one.

[Currently you can choose only one species: Dragon]

[Species: Dragon]

Ding!

[Now adjust appearance.]

A panel appeared where a small dragon hatchling’s silhouette was visible.

The dragon hatchling was just a bit smaller than his height.

Following that, he looked at the other features that he could add.

For color, he chose black.

The scales and even the nails ended up black.

Furthermore, the eyes were pitch black with hints of yellow.

He chose the sharp canines option and then finally gave it a sturdy and long tail.

And when all was over, a dragon hatchling that looked majestic was born.

Ding!

[You have created a dragon avatar!]

[The Dragon of Chaos has been born!]

Ding!

[Name the dragon. The progress of evolution has been resumed.]

Pebbles thought for a while.

The evolution continued and when it almost completed, he found a name.

[Progress: 99%]

Ding!

[Do you wish to name the dragon: Azeth?]

[Yes]/[No]

Pebbles chose yes in his mind.

Ding!

[You have named your first avatar Azeth.]

Ding!

[Consuming Karma Points for levels.]

[Detected.]

[Karma Points: 25]

[Question: How many Karma Points should be consumed?]

[Note: 1 Karma Point = 1 Level]

"..."

Pebbles opened his eyes wide.

He himself had grown stronger, faster, and better.

His scales were black, but now there were faint white outlines covering them.

Adding to that, he had grown just a bit taller.

Unfortunately, his appearance was still the same.

He especially noted this by running straight towards the pond and checking on himself.

The Stone Spiders were surprised when he suddenly ran like an idiot towards the water source. But who were they to question anything at all?

Pebbles walked back, but the system panel kept flickering.

He was a bit reluctant about it.

He required Karma Points to increase his own maximum stats.

He pondered on it for a minute, tapping his head gently and nodding a few times. He licked his upper jaw as he moved his claws, which had grown a bit longer, forward.

He could see the avatar in the system screen.

"The Grave Shaman is level 25. I need to be level 25 at least to handle it..."

However, Pebbles knew reality better.

It was very hard for him to level up that many times so soon. Very tough.

So he decided to invest in Azeth.

"All 25 Karma Points. Please."

Ding!

[Using 25 Karma Points for leveling up...]

Ding!

[The hatchling Azeth has leveled up!]

[The hatchling Azeth has leveled up!]

[The hatchling...]

Ding!

[The Dragon Hatchling has reached a maximum level of level 5 and is now attempting evolution.]

Ding!

[The Dragon Azeth has entered the phase of Juvenile Dragon.]

[The Dragon Azeth has leveled up!]

[The Dragon...]

Ding!

[Azeth has reached a maximum level of level 25.]

Ding!

[The Dragon Azeth has come to life.]

A bright flash appeared from the screen, immediately after which a dragon spawned from space unknown.

Just as he had described, a weirdly black dragon like that of an abyss stood in front of him.

This dragon was darker than himself after his evolution, and this in particular was noticed by the dwellers of the first floor.

The Stone Spiders merely glanced at Pebbles’ actions.

They did not dare question or even try to understand what he was doing.

Some even said, "We must not question what the great being is doing."

So they remained quiet.

However, as they maintained their gaze, what appeared to be a bright flash of light was actually darkness that flowed like a river from endless depth.

A crack formed in space, and through it came another lizard like being.

This certain being carried an aura all too different from Pebbles.

The mere presence of Azeth caused the air to tremble and the very mana to scatter away.

The Stone Spiders could not move, not when this very being was staring their way.

If they dared to move, they knew they would meet a fate worse than death.

Azeth, who had just come to life, was born strong.

He had instantly felt a large surge of energy within his body.

However, he also felt a weird energy sitting within Pebbles.

His gaze was straight at first, but it only lowered further.

He did not even dare to look at how Pebbles looked.

He knelt while staring at his legs.

"Master, it is an honor to meet you. Thank you for bringing me into existence."

Pebbles remained standing to assert a dominant position, but he was more surprised than he had thought he would be.

He gulped hard simply by feeling the aura that surrounded Azeth.

He considered Azeth to be a danger. But with the immeasurable amount of loyalty, Azeth was more than an ally to him.

At the moment, he was the solution to his problem.

Clearing his throat, Pebbles spoke, "Azeth."

Azeth raised his head a bit, but he still did not dare to look at his master’s face. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Yes, master?"

"I have a small task for you."

"Your words are my command, master."

"Yes. Go and rescue Nightstone from the fourth floor. Oh, and yes, kill the fourth floor boss while you are at it."

Azeth did not utter another word. He stood up.

Pebbles simply moved forward and moved his head enough that both their foreheads touched.

Through this, Pebbles could transfer whatever information he wanted into Azeth.

This was something he had gained after evolution.

A few other things were...

[Shared Senses.]

[Stat Points Manipulation.]

[Skills Share.]

Azeth, after knowing the route and how Nightstone looked, turned around and walked towards the hole.

No matter what, Azeth made sure that today he was either going to sacrifice himself or he was going to win. Either way, he would make his master proud.
