Golden Dragon Tattoo
KJ's voice returned to its calm state. "Anything else to say? I'm almost done the sealing technique so if you have any last words you better get them out while you can. Well, actually..... I'll give you a few parting words myself."
KJ: I will make sure you are subdued without lingering thoughts that may drive you crazy. Old Dragon, you may believe you are strong in this age but we both know you were but a pet in the past. A pinnacle beast.... but a pet nonetheless. You speak about power to me but you haven't even met the pinnacle of it yourself. You speak so highly as if you're a top-level creature. Well... you may be at this point in time but in the future, you will be nothing before me. You believe you have power beyond reach after the Gods disappeared but worry not, another will be born... my time will come......
KJ was deathly silent until he blurted out 3 words.
KJ: The ------- Realm
The Golden Dragon's eyes were wide open. "How do you know of that realm?"
KJ: well of course..... it is the 7th realm..... the same realm you are currently in. Now you can shut your mouth about the pinnacle when you have yet to touch the 8th. Well I should be about done, all of your other questions will be answered once you are absorbed by me
The dragon finally gave up resisting and slowly, strand by strand, merged with KJ. As the final wisps were entering KJ, the dragon asked one final question.
Ancestral Dragon: In the end..... in front of the God Sealing Technique my efforts are futile. There is no one with powers within the 8th realm in this time period. It is safe to say that no one should know of that realm either.... unless they were a demi-God or something similar. So are you....
And with that, the Golden Ancestral Dragon had been fully absorbed into KJ's body.
KJ slowly opened his eyes. Instead of his old brown wolf-like eyes..... His eyes were now a bright golden colour, the wolf-like ferociousness remained within them. However, the ferociousness was masked behind KJ's calm demeanour. His limbal ring grew a bit thicker and looked as dark as a black hole. The gold of his eyes looked to be an artistic masterpiece. Countless tiny streaks could be seen throughout the golds of his eyes..... if you looked closely.... they resembled streaks of lightning.
KJ finally got up off of the ground. There was something completely different about him. He looked towards his right arm. His palm was facing towards him and on his forearm was a dragon..... no, not an actual dragon. It looked similar to a tattoo but it was a glowing golden colour, it slightly shimmered when it came into contact with Alfin's spiritual energy.
Alfin rushed over in a panic, he finally reached KJ. "KJ what exactly happened to you? I was looking over you but I was suddenly pushed out from within your mind. It was the Dragon's doing. However... the Ancestral Dragon vanished as well. He has disappeared completely and you... you.... you seem to have an ancient aura within you.... what exactly happened after I lost connection?!?"
KJ looked Alfin in the eyes and lifted his own arm. KJ showed off his new golden dragon tattoo. "My King. The awe-inspiring Golden Ancestral Dragon has blessed me with the chance of carrying on its legacy. Once the Dragon removed you from my mind.... the Dragon willingly locked himself within my mind. He asked me various questions and he could see my past. He had an ancient knowledge that's hard to come across. Eventually, he had heard enough.... he chose to enter my body and live within it. He chose to also become a teacher figure for me, he chose to help me grow and that is why he disappeared from the cave. It also explains this new tattoo. I have a lot of secrets to uncover, I'd like to make my way home to meditate if possible."
Alfin was at a loss for words. "Umm umm uh.... yeah you can take your time recouping. Will the Dragon return to this cave or will he remain in you."
KJ bowed towards Alfin before leaving. He spoke with a respectful tone. "To remain within me or come back to the cave... in the end that will be the Dragon's choice. You know I can't possibly control a being of such power and status." And with that... KJ left the cave and left the palace as well. KJ left Alfin with all 7 scrolls of the Ancestral Golden Dragon. KJ basically memorized the contents of all 7 scrolls already.
KJ wouldn't be able to confidently protect the scrolls if anything disastrous happened. So... he chose to return all the scrolls to Alfin. He returned them because he had no use for them anymore. The techniques came from the Dragon and the Dragon was now within him. If he needed some information he could just pry it from the Dragon.
While KJ was walking back home he enjoyed the scenery. KJ suddenly stopped in front of a random house. He reached for the sword he got from the palace. He brought out the majestic golden sword and placed it onto the ground in front of the door. KJ took out a letter next. The letter was written as such. "Raiju you are a great man. Think about this as it will change your life. Your weapon is an extension of you, if it is not adequate then you cannot be either. Your spear is amazing but it's not suited for your body type. A hidden sword with your tyrannical power behind it. Imagine the possibilities. If you do not want to accept this weapon.... then do what you like with it. However.... if you choose to take up the sword.... you know where to find me."
