Chapter 43
After returning home, Alex had dinner with his girlfriend before doing homework, after all that was out of the way, he could finally talk with her about his encounter with the fedora dude.
"You fought against a Fallen and you didn't say anything?" Julis deadpanned at him before sighing.
"What if you got hurt?" She asked the obvious with concern.
"Even if one of my hands was out of commission and could only see with one eye, I still could kill him quite easily," Alex said with his deadpan look.
"...So, they are that easy?" Julis said with a baffled look, did they overestimated the Fallen?
"The two-winged Fallen are extremely… weak." The black-haired teen started to recall what he can tell from such a pathetic exchange he had against the supernatural being.
"The Fallen's movement was sloppy, there was no tactics apart from creating light spear and stabbing with it, the sheer superiority complex is rooted deep in their psyche, something we can abuse quite easily." The Host of White Dragon Emperor explained to his girlfriend.
"I see, makes sense in a way, even the weakest two winger is far more powerful than a regular human. They may have a natural sense of who is a regular human and who is not. I do believe that Gremory and Sitri may be the only ones which don't look down on humans because they trying to copy them." Julis reasoned from what she understood from this.
Alex slowly nodded, that is a possibility, after all the whole series follow a devil not a human among the devils.
"You are right in that regard, nonetheless, I have a proposition for you partner." A pair of white wings appeared on Alex's back and Albion started speaking.
"A proposition? I only know one thing you can offer Albion." Alex said that as he started to think in that direction, since they were talking about human potential towards the supernatural there is only one thing that Albion could offer.
And that is turning into a dragon.
" I just rechecked the information you gave me about the pervert's progress. His DxD mode and such, the only way he achieved is through getting Ophis infinity, this is not all, as such form should kill any human or recently reincarnated devil. Then I checked other information and turns out his body is made from infinity and dreams.
My point is that Vali and the pervert achieved this through their bloodlines… Vali could because he is half Lucifer and the pervert because he is a dragon made from two Dragon God's flesh." The White Dragon Emperor explained his point.
"So, you saying that such power is not possible for regular humans?" The pink-haired Princess asked with a frown on her face.
"Possible? I am not sure. No human achieved power beyond what devil's consider the Ultimate class in brute force, even this Cao Cao could only fight Azazel through his Sacred Gear which is the True Longinus.
All I want to say is that if you wish for brute strength and power comparable to that of a God you need to discard human coils, if you don't then you will experience incredible roadblocks. Though I can see that with this Dungeon of yours you could challenge powers beyond Ultimate Class."
Alex and Julis had thoughtful looks for a moment, the black-haired teen could see this being true, Cao Cao could only face Azazel because of his tricky Subspecies Balance Breaker of True Longinus.
Nonetheless, even if those were tricks it's still power, not something he would like to have, he prefers deadly force with incredible speed.
Through Sacred Gears evolve according to its users, and Cao Cao evolved like that because he was human through and through, most human-like of them all…
Even top-level hypocrite would be jealous of Cao Cao hypocrisy…
"I suppose I see your point. Still, you haven't told me about the proposition you have."
"Yes, that's where It comes, because of your Dungeon and how much time you spend there I could offer you a Dragon Heart."
"Wait a second! Would that make Alex a pseudo Dragon of some sort?" Julis quickly snapped when she heard that.
"He already is, as my host, partner automatically becomes half-dragon, with minimum benefits and all my weaknesses." Albion casually explained that.
Alex that moment slowly nodded. Yes, he already realised that. Well, his pink-haired girlfriend did not.
"Truly? So, anti-dragon weapons already are lethal to him?" Julis asked with wide eyes.
"Indeed, and all he gets from this is my aura and quicker growth according to his emotions as half Dragon. Partner can't even use dragon based magic," Albion said with a sort of disappointed tone, it sounded like he was talking about some sort of deal gone bad.
"I see… it does make sort of sense… So, you thinking to get as much as possible since Alex already has weakness to Dragon slaying weapons?" The pink-haired girl said with a thoughtful look.
"Indeed! So, what do you say partner? If my predictions are right you should feel effects in less than a year." Albion asked Alex curiously, as the teen was quiet for some time
"Dragon magic? Never heard of it…" The black-haired teen said with a slightly baffled tone he never heard about something like Dragon magic!
The Host of White Dragon Emperor does know that Dragons in DxD have some sort of energy related to their unique set of powers like Divide or Boost, is it called Dragon Magic?
"My Divide, Reflect and Red's Boost and Pierce are examples of Dragon Magic and even Fafnir's transformation is Dragon Magic." Albion gave some of the examples.
"Does that mean there are means to create more of this type of techniques?" Alex asked curiously he was very much interested in such a powerful branch of magic.
"Possible… nonetheless, you need to be an actual Dragon for that, or possess Dragon blood, your Magic in nature has to have Dragon aspect to cast our spells.
Your magic already took the aspect of Lightning. But, it is possible to add Dragon nature to it as well, there are Lightning Dragons around after all."
"So, you saying that Alex will have an even harder time learning regular magic?" Julis said with a borderline deadpan look.
"Bah! Like he needs regular magic when he can use dragon based brute magic! Just look at my abilities or Red's! And on top of that imagine a Heavenly Dragon with Lightning-based magic! Even Susanoo and Zeus will be envious of us! Hahaha!"
Alex just shook his head after listening to Albion's hype speech, while Julis just sighed after hearing all that.
"Well, it sounds very interesting. But, do tell me how much my magic will be affected?" The black-haired teen asked the white dragon, he wants to know what he is getting himself into.
"Hmm, perfectly honest I have no idea, never before something like this has been done. My best guess is that your magic will become more and more dragon natured and will take some of the dragon aspect. But, it's something you should not be worried about as you already have mastered the most chaotic element of them all." Albion quite casually explained that.
Albion's host didn't know what to say about the casual tone the dragon was talking about, even Julis started to have doubts about this and she was even started to think about making her boyfriend reconsider…
"In the end, you will only going to get benefits from this. As I said before, you already have my weaknesses. Yet, barely any benefits from it, in your situation it would be best to get everything you can from this situation."
*Sigh*
"Very well, let's do this then," Alex said that as he remembered the lineup of enemies he will have to face in future as he was the White Dragon Emperor.
"For this, I suggest your bedroom's bed, I have no idea how much this is going to hurt, barely any of my previous Hosts accept this offer." Albion this time said very seriously.
"Let me guess… too proud to accept it?" Alex guess with another sigh, the sigh was for the fact how predictable it was.
"Indeed, the first hosts of mine were quite wary of supernatural, as devils took people souls, and other faction simply wanted to get this new fancy powers humans have. So, my host would ask me to replace their lungs or one or both hands...none of them even thought about the Heart though.
"Lungs? As in dragon breath?" Alex curiously thought about that he remembered that Albion had poisonous breath or at least should have it…
"Correct my flames in nature are blue and have traces of my poison which… should be sealed of… well you should develop something similar… eventually…"
The black-haired teen rolled his eyes at the dodgy answer, this was the subject Albion didn't wanted to talk about … Julis rolled her eyes too as she knew White Dragon's story about his poison…
Nonetheless, the conversation quieted as Alex walked to his bedroom and ended up laying on the bed.
"Whenever you are ready Albion." The teen said to the white dragon.
'Very well, I am starting the process in 3...2...1…'
~~~
Julis looked patiently at the insanity which was happening in front of her…
Scientifically such a thing will mean that Alex will die… As his heart should stop for few moments as it gets consumed by the Sacred Gear and then another one is put in its place.
That's… Scientifically… The Pinkhaired Princess has no clue how it works in this place! Where so-called breast laws should have some sort of effect in power play!
Still, she watched patiently as she saw Alex got paler… Julis quickly walked over, critically looked at him before his whole body twitched and spasmed for few moments.
The pinkhaired girl was about to touch him but she saw pair of wings appeared on Alex back.
"It's done, the process was quick, much quicker than I expected, maybe because it was just an organ and not a bone… Nonetheless, Partner will be down for several hours maybe even till morning, You should rest as well." After saying that the wings disappeared, and Julis sighed and complained about insane dragon's and brash boyfriend's to how much she is going to nag him tomorrow.
Eventually, she calmed down and decided to take a bath and then go to sleep...
~~~~~~Next Morning~~~~~~
Around six in the morning, Alex slowly started to wake up, he was feeling quite weird…
Like he wanted to stretch, this feeling only grew, to the point that he couldn't take it anymore and his eyes snapped open.
The teen tried to look around but his vision was bleary.
"Morning…whoa… I think your eyes have dragon slits!" Julis said to him as her upper portion was laying on top of him."
"Wait! I have what!?" Alex snapped from his grogginess as he heard that.
"Or maybe not… but, I definitely, saw something…" The pinkhaired girlfriend of his once more looked closely at his eyes.
"I think you just messing with me…" The black-haired teen sighed at his girlfriend who shrugged at him.
"Not really. I have not started with that yet." Julis said with that with casual air around her…
This means that she is pissed off, years of knowing the other Julis confirms that…
So, without further wasting his time Alex flipped her over and ended up on top of her.
The pinkhaired princess was not shocked by this at all, she only raised her eyebrow at him.
"Hmm? You going to need more than few kisses to solve the mess you got yourself into." She said with a borderline arrogant tone.
"Oh, I intent to… I am feeling quite… energetic…" Alex said that as he inspected his girlfriend more closely.
*Snort*
"Have you ever felt your heartbeat? It's like your new heart is pumping twice as much blood. That should make your base power stronger to at least theoretically…" Julis said with a thoughtful look before her thinking time was interrupted by Alex, who claimed her lips.
