Later that night while Calvin was reading the various books in the mansion trying to find more about this 'Vouivre' and other draconian creatures then something moved in the corner of his eye.
Looking outside the window he saw Bell, Welf and Lili seemingly 'stalking' Mikoto and her friend.
"Hey guys, what are you doing?" he said from the window.
"Ah! eh... we..." Lili jumped a little as if scared of being found.
"We are following Mikoto as it seems that she had a problem, so as part of the Familia we are looking to help her, do you want to come along?" Bell said.
"hmm, alright I guess, she is part of the 'family' after all" Calvin said jumping from the window.
"Great, we still don't know what kind of problem it is so the more help the better" bell said.
"Let's go then, I think I know where they were going" Welf spoke from the side.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Soon the following led to the entrance of Red-light district where they found Mikoto and Chigusa being harassed by a bunch of dudes.
"Hey! Stop, they are not prostitutes, so you better search for someone else" Welf said putting himself between Mikoto and the dudes.
"Yeah, you better go if you don't want to drop you head" Calvin said putting his hand on the hilt of Gram.
To which the dudes got scared and left.
"*Haaaa* thank you, I don't know what would have happened if you didn't intervene, but what are you doing here?". Mikoto said doing a little bow.
"You were acting strange so we followed you even if it was rude" Lili said.
"We are on the same Familia, don't hide things from us" Welf said.
"Don't be afraid to ask for help, even if you are a prostitute that's nothing to be ashamed of" Calvin said looking at Mikoto with pity.
"WHA-! I'm! Not a prostitute!" Mikoto retorted.
"Eh? Then why did you come here?" he asked signaling the place.
"Chigusa told me that someone we knew Worked here" Mikoto said looking at the entrance.
"By working you mean..." Welf looked at Mikoto to which she nodded.
"Yes... she was a friend that we played with when we were kids, unlike us she was of noble origin" Chigusa said.
"Honestly is hard to believe that she'd end up here, so we wanted to make sure of it before informing you" Mikoto said.
"Noble origin...?" Calvin said 'The only noble here... could it be that girl? She always passes out every time she sees me'
"Anyways let's get out of here, we can come later and search for your friend in the day" Lili said while Welf was looking around.
"Wait guys where is Bell?" Welf said.
"Bell came too?" Mikoto asked.
"What?" Calvin said while looking around 'there are so many people here that I can't really sense anything'
"Eh? Beeeeell!" Lili screamed.
After a while of searching and not finding anyone everyone returned thinking that Bell had gone home.
But Calvin didn't leave before 'Refilling' his bent.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The next day they were informed that Bell had been in the Red-light district until morning which led to the surprise of everyone and the anger of Hestia.
And while Bell was being punished, Calvin went to the dungeon early, hoping to go beyond the 20th floor and find more 'Draconic' monsters to fuse with Drake.
Passing through the forest-like environment that started at floor 19 Calvin was already at the 23rd floor.
"[Space-cut]" Cutting in half annoying insects while Drake spit fire all around, which being a forest like area everything burned nicely.
[35/38 Bent remaining]
[Calvininan Swordsmanship level 7]
[Monster hunting Level 3]
[Chained spirit level 12!
420 Pounds, 130 minutes]
"At this rate I'll reach level 3 soon" looking around for the exit to the next level Calvin suddenly got hit by a cloud of venomous spores.
[Stability is not high enough to shrug off the effects, [Superior Constitution] is being used instead]
"*Cough* fucker" Calvin said while ordering Drake to burn the mushroom monster.
Finally finding the exit after a couple minutes of searching as drake was really fast, Drake went through the Hole leading downwards.
*Bam*
Hitting the Wood-like floor and cracking it a little Calvin reached the 24th floor where he read that there was a myth about a dragon roar being heard sometimes.
As usual Calvin told Drake to burn everything, which it did, but the thing was that all the trees and some of the foliage seemed to have some sort of fire resistance thus making everything burn slower.
Slashing some hobgoblins and some sort of Flower monsters, while bit and clawed some metal rabbits and spit fire at the numerous insects.
After an hour and a half and leaving a trail of magic stones and semi burned trees Calvin reached a 'Wall'.
Looking at the wall it seemed like normal wood but when drake burned it didn't even leave mark, he could cut it with Gram but it was too thick even if he cut it was going to waste a lot of time, like making a hole in stone with a fork.
But he was sure that it did lead somewhere as it was not the walls of the dungeon and he could feel something inside.
After thinking for a while, he dispelled Drake and stood a couple meters away from the wall.
"Alright let's see what are you hiding from me" he said running towards the walk and jumping to it.
"[Phasing]" he said just as he was about to touch the wall.
[Phasing level 3!
6 seconds]
[32/38 Bent remaining]
His body became see-through with a glint of blue in the edges and he went straight through the wall.
After what felt like 3 meters of pure 'Wood' he finally reached the other side.
It was a huge 'dome-like' structure made out of wood and leaves, there were also the same crystals from Rivira in the ceiling and some places in the floor and walls.
In the center of the room there was a giant pile of gold and gems.
And on top of the gold there was a 6-meter-tall green dragon looking directly towards Calvin.
"Finally found you" he said readying is weapon.
*Rooaaaaaaaaaar*
The dragon roared and immediately spit a green stream of fire from his mouth.
The fire ignored the bent in Beli ma and hit the tip of Calvin's coat who had jumped to the side.
His coat lit on fire and when he tried to put it out, he felt his hand burn more than it should taking account [Beli ma] and [Superior constitution].
'What?' he activated [Bent hardening] in his hand making it turn a shiny black just to see how it returned to its normal color after nearing the green flame.
'So, a fire that "burns" magic?' looking towards the dragon that was about to fire another stream of fire.
Dodging it and summoning Drake to jump on top of him.
[Chained spirit]
[31/38 Bent remaining]
*Roooaaaaaaaaarr*
The dragon roared and ran towards Calvin.
[Multi-summon]
[30/38 Bent remaining]
*Graaaaarrr* x12
When he was close enough 12 more Drakes appeared around its dashing towards the dragon and scratching it with their claws.
*ROOOOARRR*
The green dragon screamed in pain and started gashing and breathing fire at the Drakes I managed to 'kill' 3 with the fire alone and clawed 2 more killing them.
'That fire is really dangerous' Calvin thought, right at that moment the dragon suddenly opened his wings and flew about 20 meters off the ground and started firing fire all around the place.
"Bastard" Calvin then used the 'real' drake as a shield from the green flames causing if to die.
"Come back down Asshole! [Space-cut], [Space-cut]" cutting at the dragon wings detaching them from the dragon and sending blood all over.
[28/38 Bent remaining]
*RAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGG*
The dragon screamed as it fell to the ground.
[Chained-spirit]
[Multi-summon]
[26/38 Bent remaining]
Summoning back 13 drakes all of them went to the dragon gashing it all over and biting at its legs while some others spit fire at it.
Finally, when the dragon couldn't move Calvin approached and cleanly cut the neck of the dragon causing it to explode into particles and leave a 20 cm magic stone behind.
[Calvinian swordsmanship level 8!]
[Monster hunting level 4,5!
Chose an ability...]
"Finally... now what do I do with this" looking at the stone.
"Maybe if I..." cutting a chunk of the stone with Gram and eating it, when the chunk disappeared in his mouth the rest of the stone vanished too.
"That works"
[Green Dragon added to Chained spirit]
[Green Dragon: a dragon sub-species they are physically weak while having strong magical resistance and breathing Magic fire, it can 'burn' magic defenses and cannot be extinguished by normal means]
"Great, now [Fusion]" Calvin dispelled the 'copies' of drake and watched as the original grew up to 4 meters and a half its skin became grey and its scales became black with green in the edges, the spike-like protrusions o its tail disappeared being replaced by harder scales and the pike on the end became a bone spike increasing its power and penetrating capabilities.
Wings appeared in its forearms extending a meter past them and growing a spike on the end.
[Draconic Wyvern (Green) added to Chained spirit]
[Draconic Wyvern (Green): a wyvern with more 'Green Dragon blood', normally it should be impossible as both races hate each other to death, apart from its greater strength it also has a high magic defense and the ability to breath Magic orange-green Fire, the fire can burn away magical defenses and cannot be extinguished by normal means]
"Nice!" looking at the black-green wyvern.
"I can't change your name every time I fuse you with something so your name will stay a 'Drake'"
"Now... show me the abilities"
