---fwoosh---

Darkened green flames gushed out of the sole of my foot. Slowly, they started to reshape like a mountain. Soon, it reshaped into a gigantic black dragon with green eyes and fangs. The borderlines of its body glowed in green, including the lower part of its body which was kissing the ground. I attempted, "Seems to me that you've grown bigger, Hashan!"

It was Hashan, my shadow dragon. His size looked so big that it had to draw its eyes closer to notice me. It was like a saltwater crocodile staring at a full-grown stag beetle.

By drawing his head backwards, he stated with his eyes closed, "Raha, I underwent enlargement after your ascension to the present stage. My only guess is that it happened as a side effect. Buy fret not, liege. For I am stronger than ever!!"
