Chapter 53: Castle and Dragons - Final Part
"You!" the [Corrupted Dragon] is frustrated with all insults that I am throwing.
"What? If you're offended by the word "weak" because a human can block your breath, the other dragons will definitely laugh at you! What a joke! What a shame to the race of the dragons..." I coldly smirked as I stared at him with my glowing red eyes similar to the dragon's eye.
"Shut up! I am a proud descendant of the [Nightmare Dragon]! Don't mock me!" He roared and I said with a smile, "So you are really that dragon's descendant! Then, let's fight! I will only use dragon skills!"
Then I continued, "Let me see if you are really worthy of the [Nightmare Dragon]'s descendant..." I opened my [Dragon Wings] as I smiled with confidence on my face.
"Human! Don't fight with him!" Sophia warned but I only replied with a wide smile.
"Don't worry! This dragon is not that a big deal, after all." I said as I loudly mocked the [Corrupted Dragon] indirectly.
"Don't be too arrogant, human! You won't win against my [Corruption]" The [Corrupted Dragon] said as he readied his stance.
I also did the same. And then, the [Corrupted Dragon] rushed towards me with a very fast speed. 'It seems like his speed is not bad!'
"Prepare to die, human!" He roared as he used his legs to kick me but--I didn't move even a millimeter.
"That is a pretty light kick!" I smiled innocently and changed it immediately into a demonic smile that intimidates the dragon just by looking at my red dragon eyes.
"Eek!" The dragon retreats and then I immediately spread my wings and created a lot of crystal icicles out of the air and threw them all at the same time to the dragon.
[Ice Dragon's Meteorical Fall!]
"You! [Barrier!]" The black wall influenced my icicles and melts them when it touches the black wall.
'It seems like it can corrupt the magic of other dragons too!'
It is no wonder that the [Ice Dragoness] is cursed by corruption! It can melt her ice!
'Then, what should I do? The black wall is a simple wall created out of black flames! Ah! [Holy Dragon] and [Nightmare Dragon]'s skill can probably ignore the flames!'
Then behind the wall made out of the black corrupted fire, I can see the [Corrupted Dragon] using his breath.
When the breath passed his wall, I immediately used mine.
[Holy-Shadow Dragon's Breathe]
The beam I released has the mixed color of yellow and black which made it different from the holy nor dark dragon magic of the elements.
By the time my breath hits the very tip of the opponent's attack, it disappeared in an instant.
Everyone in the room is dumbfounded as they saw a different type of dragon breath rose through me.
"What is that breathe?" Levy asked loudly and I only replied, "Another dragon's skull, the combination of two dragon's breathes in fact..."
"What? No humans can combine dragon's skill!" The [Corrupted Dragon]'s replied.
Before I asked the [Corrupted Dragon] to fight with me, I already decided to let the two of my party members know my new skills so that I can feel comfortable with them...
"Well, I can, though. I also combined storm dragon and dark dragon's skill, creating the [Nightmare Dragon]'s skill. You want me to use that to kill you?" I coldly stared at him.
"Eh! Come! I don't care! And I don't believe that you have my ancestor's skill!" The dragon mocked as if he thinks that I am only threatening him.
"What will happen if I really did have the skill?" I asked as I chuckle.
"I will bow and become your servant if you want!" He continued it with a "hmph" and then stared at me.
'[Corrupted Dragon] as a servant? If I made him my mount, I don't have to make Sophia my mount but a friend that I can summon anytime!' I chuckled inwardly as I immediately gathered air inside my lungs.
I changed the air's property into all of the inducements of the [Nightmare Dragon] and releases it.
[Nighmare Dragon's Breathe]!
The [Nightmare Dragon's Breathe] is the most powerful breath out of all breathes because there are a total of more than eighty or eighty-five inducements to be exact in one breathe, making the opponent instantly get killed or get tortured slowly until death.
"Wha-what! Wa-wai-wait!" The dragon immediately bows down, surrendering.
"What did you say if I have your ancestor's skill?" I asked again to confirm what he said earlier.
"I-i will bow and become your servant if you want..." I smiled as I heard this huge dragon's voice telling that phrase.
"Become my mount..." I straightforwardly asked as everyone on the floor is speechless.
'They probably think that I would make the [Ice Dragoness] as my mount... If that is what they think. they are right and wrong. At first, I want her to become my mount but the time I got the [Dragon Tamer] skill two days ago, I want her to become my summon now...'
[Dragon Tamer] can tame and summon the dragon they tamed after all.
"As you wish..." I took one of the [Capturing Capsules] and when it hits him, he disappeared and got caught inside the capsule.
"Now that you are inside, the only thing I need is to drop blood on it, right?" I asked Levy as he replied with a nod,
"Yeah, he can also use your blood to freely transform into three forms. The dragon form, human form, or the baby dragon form. I prefer [Pyro] as a baby dragon because he is so adorable!" Levy shared as I stared at the capsule.
As far as I know, once that the blood is contracted and absorbed inside the capsule, once the creature inside is released, their memories will disappear...
'Well, it is better to lose his memory because I just bullied him to become my mount, and he surrendered after seeing me use his ancestor's skill, is he that loyal?' I asked myself as I bit my thumb finger, making it bleed and drop blood to the capsule.
The capsule glowed as my blood is being absorbed by the capsule and then, the notification appeared...
[You can now release your mount]
I threw the capsule to the ground, opening it in half and suddenly a black dragon with no memories appeared in front of me.
"Master, please grant me a name," He said politely as I smiled as I took the opened capsule and replied as I thought of a name, "From now on you are Ashton"
"Thank you, master..." He said as he continued, "I want to stay by master's side to see the world, may I ask for your permission?"
"Sure, but use your smaller form..." I nodded and suddenly, the huge body of the dragon disappeared and a cute black baby dragon appeared flying to my shoulders.
"Good!" I said as I went back to the party.
"Can you explain what is that breathe that you just made?" Fiona asked as she stared at me with her suspicious eyes and then I said, "Fine! It seems like my class evolved into a higher one and now, I can use almost all dragon skills of the different dragons!"
'I still can't tell them the truth...'
"Oh, so that is why your aura is nine-colored!" Levy said as he stared at my body.
"Well, your reddish-black aura is still the same but it looks darker than the last time I saw," I said to him as I stared at the aura that surrounds him.
"U-um, can I ask you to become my master?" Sophia interrupted as we started conversing with each other.
'I haven't tamed her yet but it seems like I can summon her now just by saving her... Now, I only need a blood contract?'
"Sure!" I bit my healed thumb finger as Sophia's blue majestic head bows down towards me so that I can reach her forehead.
After making a magic circle created by my blood on her forehead, the whole floor flashed with white light which is indicating that the pact is signed.
"Now, I can summon you, when do you want to get summoned?" I immediately asked but she simply replied, "Anytime you want, master Savior"
"Stop calling me master Savior, Theo can do!" I said but she shook her head, rejecting it, and said, "Then. I will call you master Theo, from now on..."
'Her noble personality still doesn't change...'
Then I remembered that there is something is missing...
...
...
"Ah! I am not missing something but someone! Julius is still probably near at the enemies that I knocked out!"
I immediately rushed out and went to Julius' spot where I left him and he is still there.
'He waited for two hours?' I frowned as I stared at the knocked [Corrupted Monsters]
As far as I know, I have a large area of cleansing effect on one of my skills but I don't know where...
I started thinking hard if I can remember the holy magic that I used a long time ago but nothing appeared. Is it probably I am really oblivious and an idiot when it comes to holy magic?
Then I started looking at the [Holy Shadow Dragon Tree]
There, I finally found the skill I have been finding and thinking about for hours!
I stood in the middle of the resting bodies of the [Corrupted Monsters] and used the skill-based on the [Holy-Shadow Dragon Tree]
[Holy Dragon's Sanctuary]
It is the holy magic with a very large area of effect that heals, recover mana, removing ailments and abnormalities for the allies of the user. So enemy won't get an effect but in this case, I really want to heal them and remove their corrupted status, I already thought of them as a comrade ever since I went here for the first time in a closed beta test.
The yellow magic circle from my feet expanded and expanded until it reached the end of the canyon.
I used a lot of my mana to expand the sanctuary because I still don't know if there are [Corrupted Monsters] that are still here in this place.
Everyone recovered from their fatigue, their health and mana recovered and so do I by using the new function I found earlier on the eighth floor where I am continuously bombing the enemies.
The [Automatic reduction and control] function.
It seems like the health and mana automatically decrease if I use mana or my health is damaged and when my level is rising, the stats will rise too, like a normal player's stats.
The corrupted curse inside their bodies dissipates and then they recovered back to their normal self.
"Master, what happened to them?" Ashton asked innocently as I moved my head away from his face and started to create an excuse.
"Well, a bad person cursed them to become corrupted. You have evolved into a dragon with corrupt powers too!" I said with an awkward smile because I don't know how to deal with this one.
"Did you punished him, master?" He asked after he received my answer.
I noticed Levy silently laughing behind me and didn't mind them, replied Ashton with a smile. "Of course! Your master defeated him miserably!"
'Free me from all of his questions! I remembered that his personality and knowledge are at the level of an infant! He will only ask me anything that he wants to ask!'
