[Chapter 136] Divine Beast Form

I turn around as I look at the King's figure, Princess Aurora not far behind as they walk towards my seemingly injured self. Whispers and murmurs come from the classes as the King continues to walk towards me, but before he reaches me, he speaks.

"Please continue your training, I am here to speak with one of our Divine Beasts." The knight and mage immediately try to gather their groups attention as they try to teach. But they feel as if they aren't being listened to as the king walks up to me, clearly taking all the attention.

"What are you doing up so early? You just woke up but immediately go to training, and your injuries haven't healed yet-" The king is speaker when he suddenly gets interrupted by me.

"And what happened to Dreag? Couldn't he heal me?" I ask with my head tilted, my face slightly contorted in pain.

The King looks over at Aurora who steps forward and prepares to speak, her once small demeanor completely gone as it has grown into a kind, mature personality. She has pitch black armor on with white leather like material in the other places, covering her curves as her red hair reaches down her back. Her smooth face has grown even more beautiful with a face made from white jade.

She puts on a small smile, causing the boys in both groups to feel their heart skip a beat. The girls stare angrily at the guys as most of them are filled with jealousy. "I'm sorry, but he is not allowed to help you as we have forbidden it to try and help you gain your divine beast form."

I look at her with a confused face, "Where is he? I didn't see him when I was walking down the halls and I don't think he wouldn't come see me when I woke up."

She then has a sad looking face, causing some of the guys who were enchanted to feel as if their hearts were broken. "He was caught going against royal orders and was locked in the divine prison for treason."

'There it is, the spark to light the tinder.' I think as I no longer try to hide my anger. I was only hiding it in the first place so I can show them what it's like to feel fear and I had to resist every minute to put up that act. I have to act like I didn't know or else they will know I had information beforehand somehow.

I look at her with fury raging in my eyes, "And what was this so called order?"

She takes a step back as she suddenly feels a suffocating feeling envelope her, trying to push her down. The King grabs his throat as he tries to breath, gasping for air like it was a fight for his life, shock filled his eyes. The mage and knight feel the waves my bloodlust as the weaker students behind them pass out.

The mage mutters something at incomprehensible speed as flakes of snow form in front of him, building a clear shield of ice to cover his students, protecting them from the wave of overwhelming bloodlust. He immediately starts organizing his thoughts as he keeps his hand on the shield. 'This is too much for any one person to have! Is this the bloodlust of a divine beast?!'

They were all separate people, but everyone had one similar thought in their mind as they felt my bloodlust. 'What did the king do?!'

Suddenly, tearing is heard as my arm suddenly bursts from the tied off end of my shirt, scales covering my body. My eyes split as they layer across my elongating head, the purple pupils filled with a burning hatred. Wings burst from my back as they expand and grow, splitting into more as they grow even larger.

My arms grow bigger as they split into 2, the bones visible for a moment before the muscle quickly covers the bare bones as more grow beneath the flesh of my arm before it suddenly does it again. The bones and in my legs crack as they bend into an animal like form. My size continues to grow as my horns extend from my head, black flames licking the sky as a black crown forms above my head.

My tail sprouts as it extends past, splitting in 2 as I tower over everything in sight. My large 4 wings extend outward as they block the sun, my purple scales gleaming in the light.

I stare down at the massive castle as I stand in the place barely big enough to contain me. I breath fire pitch black fire into the sky, the air itself burning with life.

I bend my head down as I look at the king who is staring at me with mixed emotions, awe, excitement, but the greatest is fear, an overwhelming sense of horror.

As I speak, a demon like voice echoes from my throat, each variable I speak threatening to cause everyone's eardrums to burst.

"I am lacking patience, I will ask again. What treason did Dreag commit?!"

Some of the knights feel something wet form on the side of their head as it slowly crawls down. Almost all of them are frozen in fear, but one brave soul reaches up and touches it. As he pulls away his hand, a crimson liquid coats it. Their ears are bleeding from my demand that echoed throughout the kingdom, my already large form causing an uproar.

Aurora is the only one who can stand strong against my will, being a Divine Beast giving her the strength she needs to fight it as she speaks with a slightly shocked tone, "To...heal...you."

I look at her as my anger grows even more, "You imprison him because he wants to heal his student?! To do what any teacher should?!"

Her face becomes serious as she looks at me, realizing this could end badly if she doesn't prepare. A ball of water begins to form in the palm of her hand behind her back as different colors of gas form within, meanwhile she keeps talking to me, stalling for time.

"He disobeyed a direct order, and tried to heal you anyway, we had to make an example that no one disobeys my father or else they are punished, no matter their rank."

"That's your excuse?! Just because he wants to make sure his pupil is safe to be imprisoned?! I fought that Vine Raptor queen for you, I killed it twice, but since I didn't unlock my form then he is punished?! You say it's to make an example, then I'll make you an example of those that abuse their power!" I yell as I begin to slam my massive clawed hand towards her. 'You royals treated me like family, but I have had enough of higher ups throwing their power around!' I think as I remember Austin, who was killed over a folder. Suddenly, a new thoughts enters my mind as my sixth sense suddenly kicks in. 'Dodge!'

I react as quick as I can as I push with my legs, sending my large frame flying through the air as the ground trembles from the pressure. But I'm not quick enough as a massive shockwave of pressure is sent towards me, sending me flying into the already destroyed woods.

That's when I hear her voice, "I can deal with you yelling at us! But attacking us is going too far! You will be punished for your actions!"

"The only one that needs punished is you!" I shout back, anger boiling in my voice.

"I will punish you myself then!" I hear her yell as a massive scaled wolf with a gas main enters my view.

'Time for another real fight!'
