Ding!
[You've synthetized the [Divine Infernal Dragon Elixir (S Grade)] x1!]
[You've earned 40000 Alchemy proficiency]
[The Level of the [Crafting: Lv3] Skill has increased to Level 5!]
"It's done! And it is an S Grade Elixir!" I said in surprise.
"Yeah!" Said Aquarina in surprise. "So cool! Will you drink it?"
"I mean, you already know but I have developed a Dragon Heart after cultivating the Beast Aura and fusing it with my Physique." I said. "It is also why I can do a Draconification, you should be able to do the same too. I think you developed one after the Elixir I gave you, you already had the potential so I decided to invest in my cute girlfriend."
"Ooh! Right!" Aquarina realized it. "That strange powerup I felt… it wasn't just my Beast Aura evolving, my Physique did too! And my heart has felt much stronger too, also part of the new Dragon Heart then! T-That Elixir has given me a whole new way to fight now… I don't have to rely on my family's powers as much."
"Yeah, I didn't wanted you to overexert yourself using those powers that seem to take away your own life force, so something like using a dragon heart, which instead of taking away life force gives you a massive boost of vitality might be able to balance it out." I said with a smile, giving her a head pat.
"You thought so much about it, Sylphy…" Aquarina's eyes shone brightly. "Mooch, mooch, mooch!" She started kissing me all over my face.
"Okay, calm down a bit." I said. "At least let me drink this before you give me more kisses."
"R-Right! Sorry, I just got too excited…" Aquarina said. "It just felt like I fell in love with you all over again…"
She's really becoming open about saying these embarrassing things… But for now, drink the Elixir! I need another powerup, I crave it! If I don't grow strong enough for what's to come, which possibly might include fighting that Arachne, I need more strength.
"Well, here goes nothing!" I said, opening the bottle and drinking its red contents. "Gulp, gulp, gulp…"
Hmm, the flavor was sweet like strawberry, somehow. Yet it also contained some sort of spiciness that went well with the combination of flavor and the massive boost of Dragon Power I was gaining, which flowed through my body down my throat.
FLAAAASH!
Suddenly, I felt a searing, burning pain that started to emerge all over my body. It felt as if literal flames were flowing through my veins. My heart was beating faster and imbuing these flames everywhere.
"Unngh…" I couldn't help it as I fell to my knees, gasping for air.
"Sylphy?!" Aquarina panicked, running to my said.
"Don't worry, this is almost typical whenever I gain strength through these items." I relieved her. "Ugh…"
Suddenly, however, I fell unconscious.
…
When I opened my eyes, I was no longer in my room, but in a dark place. This wasn't exactly the soul scape either, yet it felt really close to it, connected to it, even.
"What is this place?" I wondered, looking around.
As I walked across this darkness, I felt my body beginning to grow stronger, my veins glowed bright red, and my skin grew red scales. The more steps I gave, the more dragon-like I became.
My tail grew long, my wings spread out. My neck extended; my face transformed. When I realized it, I wasn't even a half-elf anymore.
And once I had reached the end of the road, something awakened. A gigantic, draconic eye opened amidst the darkness, glaring at me, it seemed similar to the authority Agni, Ignatius brother held.
Yet… it was much higher, much stronger…
"You…" It spoke with an all-powerful, old man's voice. "I've been watching you."
"H-Huh?" I wondered. "Who… who are you?"
"To not be recognized by such an insignificant being such as you. Who else than the Dragon King I am?" He spoke. "I am the Ruler of all Dragons in this world!"
"T-The Dragon King?!" I was flabbergasted. "T-Then why am I… even speaking with you right now?"
"All of us dragons are connected through a bond of bloodlines! You, an outsider, has managed to reach this far. Just what exactly are you, girl?" He asked, his gigantic eye, the only thing I could see, squinted with suspiciousness.
"Do I need to answer that question?" I wondered.
"Hmmm… No need. I have taken a look at your soul and so your memories." He said with a smile. "You're an interesting entity for sure, otherworldly soul."
Shit… he even figured out I reincarnated so fast?!
"Heh… Perhaps you're the thing we truly need to make this world finally change." He laughed. "Maybe… You're fate's chosen. Who knows? I certainly am not fond of you, however. However, I do know my child are. Ignatius, who was dead is now once more alive as a spirit, and Agni temporarily became your familiar, a bond that he can never create with anybody else now. You certainly have made my two children, blood from my blood, trust you… I suppose I can let this slide and see where your life will bring our world to."
I felt slightly relieved he wasn't going to eat me or something… I guess making friends with Ignatius and Agni has made it so he doesn't feel like killing me for being a stranger that suddenly acquired his bloodline's powers.
Though… I am curious about what he said just now.
"A bond that he can never create with anybody else?" I wondered. "What do you mean, Dragon King?"
"A Dragon is a millenary being. We are the great guardians. In ancient times, we used to make bonds with your tribes, the slaves of the gods. With our combined strength and your intelligence, we overcame the god's tyranny and freed the surface of this world from their grasp. Yet… they remain in the skies, watching and controlling you all." He said. "A Dragon can only make a single contract through their lifespan, due to their tremendous power. Although it has been cut off for now, your contract with Agni will be for life! Make sure to grow strong enough to be able to withstand my strongest son's powers, child. He is waiting for you."
