"DD…Dragon Transformation? This isn't part of the real story. This is way different. All right, calm down. Let's be calm. Why didn't my gamer's mind work right now?!?" Yun Che was excited as hell. This is the Dragon Transformation. A new and out of the world power.
After a while, he started to calm down before reviewing the notification once more.
"System, can you explain to me how *gulp 'Dragon Transformation' works?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------‐-----------------------------------------
[Ding… Dragon Transformation]
[The Dragon Transformation is a once a day transformation allowed the host to manifest the form of a Dragon designed by the host himself. However, the transformation can only be used once a day and last for ten minutes. During transformation, the host cannot undo the transformation until the ten minutes are up but the host can control the body of the dragon as a human.
Host will to gain a 100% percent boost in strength thus increasing the host's strength by an entire realm. Host's body will attain 200% in defensive power. The body of the dragon will gain attribute of the host's choosing however the transformation attribute will depend on the type of Evil God Seed the host has obtained. Any chosen attribute will empower the selected attribute's elemental attacks to 200% if the host used any attacks related to attribute.
Current obtained seed
- Evil God Seed of Fire.
Host will be able to assume the transformation into a fire attributed dragon.
The Dragon transformation is divided into four phases.
1) Immortalized Dragon (Obtained immediately after unlocking it.)
2) Divine Dragon (Obtained once host surpassed Level 101)
3) Dragon God (Obtained once host surpassed Level 201)
4) ??? (Obtained once host surpassed Level 301)
Be warned that once the host used the Dragon Transformation Mode, Zanpakuto and Spirit Weapons will be locked. Any Bankai used at that time will be cancelled. However, the Dragon Transformation can be empowered with the Evil God Berserk Arts as well as Hollow Transformation. As for Hollow transformation, the system only limits the transformation to the host's Adjuchas mode. Any further is not available.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yun Che was stumped and speechless at the same time. This is truly the first time he obtained such power. He was looking for methods to have as a trump card in the future but this came knocking on his door. It maybe once a day use but it is exactly what he needed right now. Something to back him up if things go south. If things went smoothly, his strength will be at the Grand Perfection of Sovereign Profound Realm if he used all his power ups.
However, he decided to use this transformation as a last resort. Just like Final Getsuga Tenshou later.
He totally went against the gods this time by obtaining more than he could bargain for. When this is all done, he decided to find some time to obtain his Adjuchas form, reawakened his Quincy mode and finally obtained 'Dangai Mode – Tensa Zangetsu'. At least he had some other trump cards to use aside from Dragon Transformation. The reason he decided so was to avoid being targeted by the rest of the continent to obtain his secrets. That Dragon Transformation really is tempting.
[Ding… Before assuming the transformation, host must design the dragon first. Be warned that, this is a one off offer to design the dragon and no changes can be made once the process is complete and host have to live with it for the rest of his life. Host must also design how the dragon look like if it assumed all seven elemental attributes. The ascended or evolved design feature will be available once host meet the required level.]
[Ding… Do you want to initiate the shaping process?]
Referring to himself, he said "All right, you dumbass. This is the moment of truth. If I failed this, I won't forgive myself. I will choose the best design for this form." He made his resolve before pressing the button.
As soon as he pressed it, the design feature was back just like how he shaped Mio before. This time, his objective was different. He wanted to design his True Dragon Form.
"Right how should I make it? Should I make the dragon the same as that dragon kid show? No... no... his dragon was way too ugly. What about in One Piece? No…no... That dragon is too long and massive as well as lacked form to gain advantage. I need something simpler, a humanoid dragon. A dragon enables to move as I please as well as looked really badass. Something like…... Hold up." Yun Che suddenly remembered something. There's this dragon he admired during his childhood. The dragon had the ability to transform into any six forms depending on the attributes he chose. A humanoid Dragon came from an old and useless PS2 game.
"All right, that dragon's perfect." He concentrates the dragon's form and figure as well as its various transformation perfectly in his mind. Yun Che had a good photographic memory and he was able to picture the forms perfectly before saying ….
"System, transfer the form to the shaping feature. Then, transfer these seven forms as well." What Yun Che transferred was the original template of the dragon he chose. This dragon was the source of his childhood. Once a popular anime but suddenly disappeared due to the flow of time but he obtained this form from a game version of it. It never appeared in anime but in the game is where he fell in love with it. Once he transferred the original template, he immediately transferred the rest of the attributed forms to the system.
Making his final checking, he skims and scan the forms once more. The seven attributed forms were complete. The seven forms were the same as the original template but the only changes he made was the color of the dragon's form if he selected the right attribute. Be it fire, water, wind, earth, lightning, light and darkness. The dragon had every form of it. Now that the design was complete, he looked at the feature once more and saw all the seven forms of his dragon form. Seeing this dragon, he slowly smiled and said "You were once the source of my interest in dragons, but slowly disappeared in time. However, today. I will revive you. Not as a friend but as my own Dragon form."
Slowly competing the process, he said "System, finalize the transformation."
[Ding… Estimated automated assembly.]
[Ding… Do you want to rename the skill?]
Yun Che give it a thought before saying "Yes, rename the skill."
[State the new name of the skill and the activation phrase. Host can also rename the attributed forms of the dragon to avoid any confusion during the activation once the host has obtained all Seeds of the Evil God.]
He nodded his head in understanding and said "This skill should honor the name of the dragon I chose. System, I will call it "Leonidas" and the activation is "Leonidas, come forth". As for the forms' name, it changes depends on what kind of attributed Leonidas I want to assume."
[Ding…. Skill name change enable "Dragon Transformation has been renamed into 'Leonidas' and activation phrase saved. Please state the names of the attributed form.]
"Right, as for the forms' name. Hmmm, use these. Fire Seed is Pyrus. Water Seed is Aquos, Earth Seed is Subterra, Wind Seed is Ventus, Lightning seed is Blitz, Light Seed is Haos and Dark Seed is Darkus." Yun Che settled on its name. Those are the names of the attributes in that game but calling Leonidas as this world's original name will be slightly off. So he decided to use its original name. Besides, he can't even use the other six forms for now.
[Ding… Form names saved. Currently host only had the Evil God seed of Fire so Pyrus form is now available. Can host chant the full activation phrase?]
"Wait, won't that transforming me into Leonidas?" He asked the system.
[Ding… System need it for saving.]
"Ohh" Then he takes a deep breath before saying "Pyrus Leonidas, come forth!!! How's that?"
[Ding… Detected activation phrase. Downloading Data from Evil God Seed of fire. Data Received.]
[Initiated 'Pyrus Leonidas' form.]
"Wait what?!? NO!!!! … NO!!!!... But, you said you needed the activation phrase for saving!"
[Activation phrase acquired, Initiating 'Pyrus Leonidas']
"DAMN YOU SYSTEM!!! YOU TRICKED ME!!!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seeing Yun Che was still in hibernation mode. Mio couldn't help but getting closer to observe her master from up close.This master of hers has quite a look.
"Danna-sama really has a good looking feature. Jasmine-san. How long have you known Danna-sama?"
"Him?, two years ago. I think. He helped me healed my soul in exchange that I trained him. Never expected this disciple of mine is actually a Soul Reaper."
"Danna-sama really care for you. Isn't it Jasmine-san?"
"Hmph, this annoying rascal only thinks about being a useless lazy bum and women all the time. However, he's not the type of making a move towards women like all the other males."
"Looks like Danna-sama is enjoying himself in this world. When I remembered my whole life, no sweet memories come from it. I don't know how many opponents died and being consumed by me. My life was not least enjoyable."
"How was your life back in the era of the gods?"
"I don't remember anything from back then. I was kind of insane and only think about my next meal. What I have done back then, I remembered none of it. Only after transformed into a human that my thoughts were organized once more. For the first time, I actually felt whole and I knew how to think as well as discovering my capabilities. Even if after learning the cultivation of the world, I started to wonder. How did I get my strength right now or from before? I don't even know how to fly."
"Well, looks like you are fated to meet this rascal. Despite having a lot of women on his side. He never actually mistreat them like I thought he would. For the past two years, now I know the joy of cultivating. He didn't stress himself with cultivating. He wanted it to be enjoyable. Not forced or anything. He'll help you regain your former glory. Not as a spider but as your own self."
"Enjoyable?"
"It is more like having fun in fighting. Usually, most humans would just run from danger. But for him, he seeks that danger for the thrill also for leveling up. The stronger the better but now, he's far too strong for his own good. Still, he can enjoy himself despite being stronger."
"Hnn, looks like I will try to keep up with Danna-sama. Wait, you said he had a lot of women on his side?"
"You don't have to worry about that. He's not the type of focusing on one or two women. That rascal treats all them equally."
Mio give it a thought before she sighs in dissapointment. "Muu, I was hoping to keep him to myself but if Jasmine-san said so, then it made me feel better all of a sudden. Danna-sama also said he didn't want to see me as a servant. Looks like I have to try harder to gain Danna-sama's attention."
Jasmine sighs before saying "You won't have to, he's not that dumb."
Suddenly, the tower around Mio and Jasmine started to shake as if an earthquake had struck it. Both of them stood on each other supporting them from fall. Jasmine suddenly spoke "What in the world is happening right now?"
As she spoke, the shaking around them slowly disappear as if nothing happened. Then, her attention suddenly turned on the Azure Dragon that suddenly breathing heavily as well as getting dimmer.
"I don't think I can last any longer…" The Azure Dragon said between breath.
"What do you…" Jasmine didn't even finished her sentence when the dragon continued.
"After giving my soul away to him, I am relying on the last piece of my soul I had left. That last piece of soul is the only thing supporting this realm."
Jasmine widen her eyes. It means this realm can collapse at any moment. "You…. Why did you do this?"
"This dragon had said before, all I wanted to do now is to pass on. I have fulfilled my last purpose and found a perfect successor. This dragon didn't wish to roam the world anymore. My era is now over, however you youngsters can forge your own era." The dragon explained while maintaining its composure.
"You sacrificed your own soul and powers for my idiot disciple. Do you trust him that much?"
"Hmm, this dragon didn't seek his strength but his potential. You might be a Star God successor but this one is a god himself. A non-existent god from another universe but living a life and cultivate as a mortal. A host with an unknown primordial power inside him. Something even you and I unable to understand. That gives him an absolute potential where his destiny is not limited in this universe."
"What you mean is...." Jasmine suddenly interjects.
The Azure Dragon nodded his head. "You know what this dragon means."
Mio was listening on the side suddenly spoke "You mean, Danna-sama's destiny lies beyond?"
The Azure Dragon nodded its dragon head. "Hnn, this young Soul Reaper has no reason in becoming a ruler. Most humans and gods back then wanted to cultivate to possess the ability to gain power but this one only wanted to enjoy and living a carefree life. Free of life itself and its burdens. This is the reason this dragon decided to pour everything just like the phoenix. From the moment he spared this spider, this dragon knew his heart was free of malicious and evil thoughts."
Jasmine nodded in understanding. She admitted that Yun Che's potential was endless and something she will never understand. If the gods pour everything to him then she will do so as well. Her trust for him is now intact, she will travel with him to Realm of the Gods once he's ready and one day, he'll turn that world upside down.
As Jasmine heard the Azure Dragon, she was sent into a dilemma as well. Speaking of her trust, she was someone still tied with vengeance of the past. What if she could be like him and Retsu? Let everything go and start over. Enjoying the sensation of leveling up like them. Earning and honing her skills as well as training just like them. As she wonders, her skills and cultivation were inherited. It is not earned or trained. The only thing she has is the her haki. She always thought she was the worst kind of existence that no one understands but Retsu and Yun Che were way worse. Despite the trail of bodies they leave behind, she never seen their smiles faded from their faces. Both of them didn't deny their inner demons but embraced them. Turning them into their source of strength. Maybe, just maybe… She wanted to be herself for once. Let the past go and looking into the future. She could start right now… She could start as one of them…..
As she was thinking, suddenly another earthquake started to shake the tower. Jasmine was back from her thinking immediately said
"Azure Dragon, you needed to hold out for much longer. Yun Che is not done yet."
"I can still maintain the stability of the realm and that earthquake is not coming from it." The Azure Dragon replied.
Mio suddenly shift her head towards Yun Che. "Don't tell me it's Danna-sama?!?"
Her shriek also earned Jasmine's attention. Before she could say anything, Yun Che's eye's suddenly snapped open.
"It's about time you…." However, her words were not finished as she saw something that cause her eyes to widen. Yun Che's body started to glowing and pulsing with red energy before his Quincy outfit started to ripped itself apart.
"Danna-sama?!?" Mio shouted worriedly before she started to run towards him.
"Mio, get away from him." Jasmine immediately grabbed her hand stopping her advance towards him.
"But…." Mio was about to protest but Jasmine's eyes stopped her intent immediately.
"Whatever it is, let him handle it. If we interrupted whatever he's doing right now. It might be bad."
Then, the pulsing and glowing energy around his body started to grow brighter before…
Swoooshh!!!
His body was covered with red fire before getting more intense. As for Mio, she didn't know his Evil God capabilities and assumed the worst happened immediately shouted "Danna-sama?!?"
"Don't worry, he's immune to fire." Jasmine reassured her.
"Really?" She said with tears in her eyes.
"Yes, what in world happening to him?"
As she said that, tornadoes of red fires started swirling around him caused the Azure Dragon, Mio and Jasmine to shift their bodies away.
"These flames? It didn't belong to the phoenix, what is going on?"
Their questions are answered as the swirling tornado suddenly formed a massive fireball with Yun Che inside it. The process didn't last long as the massive fireball suddenly pulsing like a beating heartbeat. The more it pulses, the bigger it become.
Dum!
Dum!!
Dum!!!
"Here he comes!!!" Jasmine shouted.
BOOM!!!
The fireball suddenly exploded covering the area around the tower with flames as it rains down from it before striking the lower grounds. Mio reacted immediately and punch the space behind her before it shattered like glass and formed a shattered gateway. If anyone were to see this, they will have to pinch themselves twice as Mio easily shattered the space behind her. Jasmine was one of them. She immediately pulled Jasmine in there before raising both of her hands to seal the gateway like glass being piece back together.
As for the Azure Dragon, it flew as high as it can avoid the aftermath of the explosion caused by the fireball. It didn't react the slightest at Mio's spatial ability as it seen her in action countless of time in the past.
When Jasmine opened her eyes, she was shocked as she was still at the tower and she could see everything from inside whatever she is right now. What she could see was the place she's in is some kind of crystal dimension as she can see some kind of glass reflecting in the air. Moreover, she felt like she's inside a crystal ball.
"What in world is this?"
"The mirror dimension." A voice replied next to her and it was none other than Mio.
Then, she replied "It's a dimension I used to escape if I faced a greater threat. Anything happened in the outside world can't affect in here and anything happen in here can't affect the outside world. We can see everything from in here and not being harmed by it. However, it is only limited to the size of the space I created. During my days as a godly beast, I can create larger dimension allowing me to travel the world without being seen but right now, this small space with the size of a small room is all I could do right now. Moreover, this thing used energy just to maintain it." Mio explained to her. Jasmine can also guess that this is the spatial ability Yun Che was talking before. The spatial ability she used to hid herself during the first and second trial. Observing everything from there.
"…." Jasmine was speechless. But, seeing Mio saving her like this, she immediately spoke "Why did you save me?"
"Danna-sama trust you. Jasmine-san. Your relationship with him was so close that I felt a little jealous of you. But, if Danna-sama trust you that much, I decided to trust you as well. Besides, you're my first friend." Mio spoke with a bright smile. According to the system, she has the tendency to despise any female came to contact with Yun Che but if he trusts the women in his care. She decided to do the same as well. They are the only people worthy enough to be her friend.
"What about Yun Che. You didn't see him as a friend?"
"Danna-sama is different. He's my future husband and someone very precious to me. Someone I dedicated my life to." Mio said while holding her reddening cheeks.
Hearing her response, Jasmine was speechless again. This girl really likes taking thing too far. She regained her wits before observing the situation outside the mirror dimension.
"Jasmine-san, Is Danna-sama is going to be okay?"
Before she could reply, all three pair of eyes are shifting towards the massive fiery figure emerged from the explosion. The first thing came from Jasmine's mouth was….
"Is that a dragon?" What emerged from it was a dragon twice the height and size of an adult human and covered with red scales all over. This dragon has the body structure of a human but its chest was broader and the waist was a bit smaller than the chest making a humanoid dragon compared to an ordinary dragon. From its neck, black scales with lining covered its neck, chest stomach until the end of its visible tail. Speaking of the tail, it looks like a normal dragon tail but at the end of it has some kind of golden scale making it look like an arrow's tip. What grabs their attention was its this arms and legs were slightly bigger in the elbow and thighs making it a dragon with a slightly larger muscle proportion. The arms each have three golden claws as well as three golden talons and a golden spur behind each leg. They could see three green linings cover at the end of each leg and behind the neck. Behind it was grown a pair of red scaled wings with golden wing fingers with sharp wing thumb. This dragon seems to holding its arms and bending its legs. It looks like this dragon was not conscious.
When they turned to its head, it had some kind of long sharp horizontal rears pointing to the back rather than upwards. On top of its head, it had some kind two golden horns and a larger blade like horn pointing upwards. Flames were coming from its mouth with sharp visible fangs underneath it. Moreover, this dragon seems to have a sharper snort with two closed eyes.
When Jasmine saw the whole dragon, she was speechless. This is the first time she saw a humanoid dragon. Even the dragon clan back in the realm of the gods didn't have this kind of dragon. Their transformation resembles more on the dragon they seen roaming on the Blue Pole Star but slightly bigger and stronger but this one was the rarest among rare. A dragon can stand and fight just like a human will spark the attention even the highest of realms.
"Is that Danna-sama?!?" Mio widen her eyes.
"Impossible, this dragon only gave him a body, bloodline, marrow and a soul of a dragon. How did he tap into a complete transformation?!?"
"You mean he can't tap into a dragon transformation yet?" Jasmine asked it.
"A human will never be able to transform into dragon. Even if they can, their body can't tap a dragon's true potential. But… this one… Heavens, what kind of miracle am I witnessing?!?" The Azure Dragon looked the unconscious humanoid dragon. It felt the same as its given soul and the body it had given to Yun Che just now. So that means, this humanoid dragon is actually Yun Che himself. The real question was how in the world that he could awaken a powerful version of the dragon transformation. Even in the era of the gods, dragons didn't even possess the capabilities of humanizing their dragon form.
Suddenly...
The golden red dragon slowly opened its eyes and revealing a pair golden eyes with red pupils underneath it. The humanoid dragon slowly let go of its arms and straighten its legs before slowly floats to the floor of the tower.
Then….
"ROOOAARRR!!!!!"
