Chapter 14 : Soul mark

Xiao Yun flapped his wings, "What sorcery is this? Am I really a dragon? No… no! How is this even possible?! How could you do this?!"

Silvan's gaze remained calm, as looked at the majestic creature before. Although he can see it's in the infant stage. He could only imagine how dominaring it would look when he rides, and fly towards the sky.

. "Yes, you're a dragon," Silvan confirmed. "An Abyssal Dark Dragon, to be precise. One of the most powerful and revered creatures in my world."

Xiao Yun froze, flexing his claws as he looked down at himself. "A dragon,I wasn't even married yet" he repeated, his tone quieter. He ran his gaze over his claws, wings, and tail, as though trying to process the sheer power now coursing through him.

"Is this for real? Or you have put me in an illusion!"

Silvan Shaked his head,"I didn't. I'm alive and well, even after you tore my body apart. Isn't that proof enough of my power?"

Xiao becomes silent. Before opening look at the surroundings right at the dungeon core below. Silvan couldn't help but laugh a little it looked cute despite being a blood thirty human who ripped apart his body. It wasn't his real body, it was. For some weird reason that makes the situation even more amusing considering how he become like this.

"What is that thing. Is that the source of power"

Silvan nodded his head. " You can say that "

Xiao Yun's glowing red eyes locked onto the dungeon core. "That's the source of all this power? It feels… alive. What exactly is it?"

Silvan spoke while opening the status window.

"You could call it the heart of this place. It sustains the dungeon, powers me, and now, it keeps you alive too."

"And if something happens to it?"

"We both die," Silvan said bluntly. His tone was calm. "No dungeon core, no me. No me, no you. Simple enough?"

Xiao didn't speak he could only gaze at his paws. This is his reality now.

"Interesting" Silvan uttered attracting his attention at the blue light that appeared before Silvan.

Xiao got curious and flew over only.But there was nothing on that blue light and it seemed like this strange fellow was reading something on it.

Silvan looked at the side. While Xiao looked at him. " You will be YunYun from now on"

Xiao yes twisted hearing that. He was about to blabber out what he meant by that. He was Xiao!.

His body glowed all of a sudden with blue light before the dungeon core also glowed and a node of light came out from it and with a frightening speed it entered his body.

And in the next second a blue screen hovered before him.

Meanwhile In front of Silvan also a Screen appeared.

"Oh he already has a genetic code" Silvan uttered.

Then something collided on his face. " Hey what is this sorcery! What is this showing me. It says you're my master and if I disobey I will be punished with lightning "

Silvan annoyed pushed him aside. " Yes, yes you're my Pet now. And I didn't know if you disobeyed you will be punished, Thanks for telling me "

"You really aren't from this world!" Xiao Yun or YunYun spoke up.

"Of course I am" Silvan mumbled and looked at the skill.

[Abyssal Dragon bloodline (LV.1)

Accusation skill: Flame breath

(Upon upgrading the genetic code. New further skills will be unlocked)

[Flame breath (LV.1):Breaths out blazing flame in a wide area ]

"It's really a Blazing flame" Silvan uttered and looked at him who was still confused and frowning on the blue screen in front of him.

"Hey, YunYun. Try out the new skill"

His eyes twisted as he glared at him with those cute black blue eyes. "Why did you even name me that!."

"Oh your disobeying.You Wana try what it feels like to be struck with lightning. Go ahead, I'm curious too"

His eyes again twisted. But he controlled "What skill are you talking about. Is it the Flame breath?"

He didn't wait for Silvan's response and tried it out himself he took a deep breath sucking in the air before

. Silvan watched quietly, arms crossed, as a faint glow began to build in his throat. A second later, a burst of flame erupted it looked exactly like what one would expect but if one looks closer one will realize there was shimmering golden light which was a little bit brighter than the usual flame.

YunYun coughed mid way, "cough..T-To think there will be a day when I will breathe out fire!"

Silvan was satisfied seeing it. YunYun might haven't noticed but the fire wasn't normal. If he was in his past life he wouldn't have been able to pinpoint it. But after going through modern life he finally pinpointed the actual difference. It was the fuel. Typical fire uses oxygen but this doesn't, meaning it couldn't be put out in the ordinary means as it burns on the different type of source which is the energy the world holds Qi.

"Now remove this soul mark on my body " Silvan commanded making YunYun flinch.

"Ah about that..ah" YunYun uttered not daring to look at him.

Silvan frowned then sudden thought struck him. Was this fellow lying all along. And couldn't remove this mark.

"Were you lying when you said you have the ability to remove it?!"

YunYun flinched before shaking his head. "No no no. It's just that I know how to remove it but I can't...
