Red Dragon Heart Acquired

"DESTINATION IS SET. PLEASE PROCEED TO THE TARGET PLACE'S COORDINATE. RED DRAGON CAVE. USER : ZERO"

And that was when, afterwards the boy disappeared.

Dungeons inside the tower are dangerous but looking at the batch saying "S-Rank" left in his hands, Muscleman is lost in thought about who this boy is and where he has gone to.

He noticed that after the boy disappeared within white-blue light, all the senses coming from the dungeon monsters had disappeared too. And when the boy vanished, all the area around inside the dungeon seemed very much like outside the tower. No strange mana or monster presence but it was still inside the dungeon within the tower.

It's been just ten minutes and boy appeared again from within that light, soaked in blood. Muscleman jumped at him and grabbed him but suddenly pulled his palm to cover the nose. Boy reeked of blood and the stench even creeped inside the muscle man's clothes. With blood of monsters, their pus and pungent saliva coming from the boy was nothing when the muscle man's sight caught the boy's hands.

Still beating heart, large enough to weigh about 10 kilograms, was in this boy's hands.

"Boys grip is squeezing the blood..." Muscleman mumbled in mind.

He couldn't hold himself back and stuttered, " Who..who are you? Damn it.. isn't it R...Red Dragon's Heart?"

What a power! Mana is overflowing. Muscleman stood with his mouth wide open. He always felt proud of being "S-Rank '' himself in the world but he still couldn't do such a feat which Boy was showing.

As he was dawdling in the awe, Red Dragon Heart before his eyes disappeared.

Another shock befell on him. He shouted, " Where did it go?"

"In the bag." Boy spoke as if it was nothing.

Muscleman did saw boy gripping that heart in hands just until ago. Only thing that came to his mind was the legendary skill of the item box he had only heard of.

"Dimensional Box" Muscleman mumbled.

"Raslph El Kleanor Pas" Boys incantation got his body covered in golden dust. Soon when dust dissipated, boy came out clean and fragrant. Muscleman couldn't believe his eyes. It was surely high-level magic but in his whole life in the world he lived, he has seen no-one cast such magic.

He jumps back holding his sword tight. Sword has a sharp and double edge, with mana poured in it by muscleman, it was just as lethal.

"Put down the sword." Boy said in a calm yet intense voice.

Boy's bloodlust left Muscleman shrieking softly.

As he tried to move with the sword pointed towards the boy, only found himself being unable to move, stuck to the ground. Suddenly he felt a tight grip around his neck. He turned back only to find a dragon behind looking at him with fierce eyes.

Red scales covering the whole body and golden clear eyes, horns reaching one tenth the whole length. Feets crushing mithril and oricalcum ores on the ground, a red dragon stood behind him.

Suffocation, the only feeling which struck the Muscleman, made him tremble in fear.

"How?" He couldn't speak any other words.

TEN MINUTES AGO...

Inside the Red Dragon Cave, the boy pulls out his mana blade and moves toward the nest of the Red Dragon.

Boy appears in front of the dragon. Feeling a strange magic source, dragon lifts his head up and breathed out hot air sparkling with tiny fire sparks burning dust around.

Without a moment wasted, boy and dragon started the fight. Mana blade which looked thin and weak to the mighty dragon's eyes, cut through his oricalcum hard armour like scale and passed grazing its eyes.

Boy had no mana inside him. Dragon couldn't understand the source of his power. As it was dawdling, the boy's mana blade nearly reached its heart. Barely dodging the blade, the dragon felt something was wrong and pulled out a firewall in front. As he casted the firewall to block the way for the boy, the trace in front disappeared and appeared near the head of the dragon.

"Huh?!"

Dragon's eyes grew wide. Even before he could turn his head. Boy with a dragon's heart, in the hands appeared before.

"Ack!"

Sudden strike of pain surges inside the dragon's body. With his heart, which is also its power source and life, pulled out, the dragon couldn't pull his second breath.

Clutching his chest and trying to pull mana from the surroundings, he focuses on his veins but coughs up blood and crumbles on the ground.

To the mighty dragon, it was utter defeat he couldn't think of. But soon he breathed again. He lifts his head only to find a boy still standing in front and no weapons on.

Dragon felt this is the chance and lept to attack only to find himself unable to do so.

With a shock he came to his senses.

"I am being enslaved! Such a disgrace." He thought but after contemplating for sometime, he spoke.

"Master! How shall I address you?"

With a gentle smile on his face, Boy said with mana and bloodlust filled voice,

"ZERO"

With that again system window appears,

"RED DRAGON SUBJUGATION COMPLETE. DRAGON ENSLAVED. MANA HEART RECONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS O%....13%....67%....100%. CONTRACT COMPLETE."

Boy checks his skill list. And on the very bottom "Red Dragon Summon" was written.

"Tch!"

He clicked his tongue. His facial expression showed as he was annoyed with this system.

"Whenever I need it, it goes into sleep mode or requires an upgrade. This trash system evolved from trash ability I got from 9 years ago. It has been years and still I can't get used to it stealing my slaves and turning into skills which I need mana to use and that mana which this trash system doesn't allow me to gather.

If it was some entity and had flesh I would have killed it thousands of times already."

Again system window appeared,

"CREATING ALTERED ADVANCED MANA HEART AND MANA VESSELS. CREATION COMPLETE. INITIATING BINDING TO THE HOST. PROGRESS 0%...45%...99%....100%. BINDING COMPLETE. "

"Huh?! Again!"

"Let's try this one.. Huh!"

"FAILED. USER'S LOCATION IS NOT THE PREFERED WORLD."

Now it even requires me to be in the world in which I can use those skills. Trash system! Just go back to your world and leave me behind.

"USER'S REQUEST NEEDS HIGH LEVEL MANA TO PROCESS."

"Huh! Now it's a surprise. I didn't think that was possible. But I would need mana to do it and I don't know where I would be able to do that." He thought.

Another popup telling him to exit soon appears and he walks towards the white dot augmented in his eyes and arrives in front of Muscle-man.

"How? You ask! Well I also quite don't understand this shit." Boy said with an annoyed voice and walked towards the dungeon exit.

Muscleman gets freed from dragon fear and the dragon walks behind the boy.

"Oi! Won't you be an annoyance if you roam around like that?" Boy tilts his head and says to the dragon.

"As you wish my master." Dragon has submitted but not surrendered.

"Hah! Your words have no sincerity. RED DRAGON UNSUMMON."
