Chapter 2 - Dragon King Extract.

"Ve-chan move!" Esdeath yelled at her sister, making Vedeath roll to the left dodging a giant claw. The beast they were fighting was a Super Class Danger beast called the King of the Tundra. The beast was actually just a giant 6-eyed ice dragon and although it was called a dragon, it had no wings making it an ice drake if we are being technical. They awakened the beast by accident, and wanted the satisfaction of torturing it alive.

"HAA!!" Esdeath yelled out as she swung her rapier and removed a chunk of the dragon's arm.

"ROOAAARRR!!" The dragon roared in pain and swung its giant tail towards Esdeath. Vedeath jumped in front of Esdeath and blocked the tail strike for her. Vedeath was still flown back but didn't sustain any significant damage. The dragon looked at them from 6 different views and started to charge its special attack. The dragon roared and fired a thick beam of blue fire at his closest target, Esdeath.

Esdeath ran as the dragon followed with its destructive fire. Vedeath took the opportunity to get under the dragon and stabbed her giant blade through its abdomen.

"ROOOAAAARRR!!!" The dragon roared in pain again and created multiple icicles from the ground. Vedeath took her blade out of the dragon's abdomen and dodged the icicles coming her way. When she got from under the dragon its giant tail slapped her across the tundra.

"Ve-chan!" Esdeath was angered at her sister getting injured and charged forward. The dragon shot multiple icicles at Esdeath and she cut or deflected them as they came her way. The dragon raised its arm to swat Esdeath but was blocked by a bleeding Vedeath.

"Go Es-chan!" Vedeath said as she started to falter against the dragon's strength. Esdeath took this opportunity and got eye level with the dragon. Just as she was about to take one of the dragon's eyes, she was sent flying by its giant tail. The dragon then turned its focus to Vedeath who was still under its claws. The dragon pressed even further and Vedeath began to sink into the ground.

'Damn it!' Vedeath mentally cursed as she felt her bones begin to crack. Vedeath summoned all of her strength and pushed the dragon's giant claws upward and jumped away as the dragon crashed its giant claws into the ice. Vedeath ended up next to Esdeath who was on one leg and bleeding.

"Looks like we got too cocky huh?" Vedeath said as the dragon fired multiple icicles towards their location.

"Yeah, if we die that means we are just weak." Esdeath said as she and Vedeath began to deflect the icicles.

"We are not weak! We can kill this dragon and return home!" Vedeath said as she charged toward the dragon once again. Esdeath followed and they dodged the countless icicles coming their way. Vedeath jumped forward and cut the dragon on the side and Esdeath removed one of the dragon's eyes.

"ROAAAARR!!" The dragon roared in anger and began creating larger ice constructions. Vedeath jumped left dodging a giant ice spike that emerged from the ground. Esdeath dodged two ice spikes while in midair and used one of them to shoot forward at the dragon. Vedeath jumped up and swung with all her strength, cutting the dragon's left side completely open. Esdeath used her speed to pierce the dragon's skull with her rapier. The dragon roared one final time before it fell.

"Haaa...haaa...haaa...haaa...that was so difficult!" Vedeath said as she fell and looked up at the sky.

"Yeah...looks like Super Class Danger beast are no joke!" Esdeath said as she sat on the dragon for a little while.

"Hey, you think if I drink it's blood I'll get a Teigu?" Vedeath asked her sister who looked at her like she was insane.

"No! I don't think you would Ve-chan besides if you did, your twelve-year-old body wouldn't be able to handle such a powerful Teigu!" Esdeath exclaimed with worry for her sister.

"Yeah but we just killed a Super Class Danger Beast, I think I should get something out of it other than reputation and fame!" Vedeath said as she got up and walked towards the dragon's body.

"Fine only if you let me do it with you! I would rather die with my sister than die alone." Esdeath said with a smile.

"Aww, I love you Es-chan!" Vedeath said as she hugged the blushing Esdeath.

"Yeah, yeah let's drink its blood and eats its meat." Esdeath said bashfully.

"Do we eat it raw?" Vedeath asked as she took a glass vial from her pouch and drained the dragon's blood until the vial was full.

"Yeah duh, and we're gonna need a bigger container for all this blood." Esdeath said as she also drained a vial full of the dragon's blood.

"How about we drink the dragon's blood like a fountain?" Vedeath suggested.

"Sounds better than what I was thinking." Esdeath said as they climbed onto the dragon's neck and cut large enough for both of them to drink out of.

"Bottoms up!" Vedeath said as she began drinking the dragon's blood. Esdeath followed behind her sister and they began drinking the dragon's blood until it was completely empty. Once they stopped drinking they immediately started to scream in pain.

"AAAAHHHHHH!!!" Esdeath yelled as a black aura came out of her and her sister. They had enough strength to hold each other's hands. Their black aura's intertwined and created a large pillar of black aura into the tundra sky. The black aura stopped leaving Esdeath and Vedeath panting from exhaustion. Vedeath looked over to her sister and was shocked.

"Es-chan! Your right eye has changed!" Vedeath said and Esdeath's right eye was dark blue with a cross-slit pupil.

"Me!? What about you! Your left eye has changed as well!" Esdeath exclaimed and Vedeath's left eye was in the same state as Esdeath's.

"Other than our eyes, do you feel any stronger?" Vedeath asked.

"Yeah, I feel a faint connection I can't tell what it is though." Esdeath and Vedeath agreed with her.

"What do we call this Teigu? It's not like it can be replicated." Vedeathed asked and they began to do into deep thought.

"How about Frost Monarch Extract?" Esdeath suggested.

"I like the extract part but I feel Frost Monarch doesn't fit." Vedeath said and immediately thought of one.

"How about Dragon's Extract?" Vedeathed asked.

"I like that but I feel we should add king considering the beast was called King of the Tundra." Esdeath said.

"So Dragon King Extract?" Vedeathed asked and nodded as she liked the name.

"Now let's eat the meat too, maybe we can get an extra perk or something." Vedeath said as she began to skin the dragon. Once she was finished she filleted it and began eating with Esdeath. They surprisingly ate the whole dragon leaving only bones behind.

"I don't feel any different." Esdeath said flatly.

"Same, I don't think we can gain anything else from this dragon other than its hard scales." Vedeath said as she stuffed the dragon hide into her sack.

"Let's go back to the tribe and celebrate with father!" Esdeath said as she began to run with Vedeath following her. They saw smoke coming from their village and sped up. When they arrived they saw burning buildings, dead tribe members, and dead enemies. They ran to their house and found their father on the verge of death.

"Father!" The twins said in unison. Ren looked at his daughters with love.

"I...was...too...weak...live...to...be...strong...only...the...strong...survive." Ren said with difficulty as he breathed his final breath. The twins held in their tears and left the village. As they walked out they made an oath to each other.

"Es-chan. I want you to promise me you won't become weak and die." Vedeath said as she struggled to stop crying.

"I promise! I also want you to promise to not die before I do!" Esdeath said with tears flowing down her face.

"I promise!" Vedeath said.

"Then we both have to get stronger to fulfill these promises!" Esdeath said as she wiped her eyes and looked at her sister with determination.

"Yeah! We won't lose to anyone!" Vedeath said and they held hands as they walked south towards the empire.
