Chereads / Crimson purgatory / Chapter 8 - The main goal

Chapter 8 - The main goal

"If you the dragon? then why are you after me? I am but an ordinary human without any power if you consider it supernaturally. What can I do for a powerful dragon like you?" Shu said confusion clear on his face.

"Well like I know anything about it. Didn't I say we are going to be long time acquaintances that mean, I will stay inside your body more precisely in your soul space. Until you become half energy begin and make a new physical body for me. And yes you are not a human anymore, you are an infant dragon, the human boy died in that ally." Scarlett said the while shrugging her shoulders.

Shu was relatively calm when hearing how she will be staying inside his body or soul, whatever it was. As an okatu, he also read some cultivation novels, where the trash MC get some powerful old guys soul inside him that gives him cheats to be OP later. So hearing till then was acceptable, but when heard about him dying and becoming a dragon was too much. Those MC's doesn't get their race changed and they don't fucking die.

"Wait.... wait.... what did you say about me being a dragon and how can you do that? and if I died then how come I'm here." Shu shouted demanding answers.

"Don't you listen? I have seen you through your soul you are not an idiot but very smart how come you don't understand this simple thing?" Scarlett asked innocently, she has seen his memories and he was always a top student even though she doesn't understand whatever those humans were learning, but Shu was always praised for being very smart and always staying top of his class.

Veins are popping on Shu's face because of anger, he doesn't know a single shit about all his and this arrogant woman says that he is an idiot.

"First and foremost I don't know a single shit about this whole situation, and you don't answer any fucking question with a good answer but instead ask back and don't explain then, how the fuck am I supposed to know?" Shu strongly protested no one has called him an idiot in his whole life. How can he accept that remark now?

"I guess you have a point, hm.... then let me enlightened this poor soul of yours. As I have said before, I'm The Red Dragon Empress, the firstborn Red Dragon in the primordial Chaos era. The strongest red dragon hailed as the empress and one of the most powerful individuals of the Chaos era. When you reach the pinnacle of power you become half energy begin and can live forever or in simple terms and entity whose half part is but purely made of energy as such they cannot die. Although our physical bodies can be destroyed our spirit have already become a pure form of energy with consciousness." Scarlett explained slowly to let him understand clearly.

Shu who is listening is amazed by the concept, become half energy meaning the metabolism of his body will be sustained on pure energy and energy will come from the spirit which has practically infinite energy, so they can't die and won't age. And the energy lost can be restored easy by absorbing the surrounding energy or through food.

"I understand the whole thing and it's quite amazing how someone can live forever. But Since you're so powerful and also an immortal what business do you have with me? what can I even do that you yourself can't? don't tell me you want me to do it just because you're lazy?" Shu asked and joked to calm down.

"Of course not ..."

Scarlett screamed although many people have said that she was lazy and she knows she is, but this time she can't do anything even if she wanted very much.

" I'm not lazy it's just that the task is something I can't do anything about." Scarlett said with her annoyance very evident.

Hearing this Shu is surprised and interested at the same time, what is the matter that this arrogant dragon empress can't do anything about ? he wanted to know.

"So what's the matter if you're so powerful as one of the strongest people? then what is it that you can't do ?"

Seeing that Shu was teasing her and the smirk on his face Scarlett is very annoyed but she can't kill him and seems like he understands that.

"Listen I'm indeed one of the most powerful individuals of the chaos era but ' one of the most powerful ' there are other people who are equally strong if not stronger." Scarlett explained, not wanting to be underestimated by the little boy.

Hearing this Shu also realised what she said is right, she never said she was the strongest but one of them that means others are equally strong if they did something then there's a chance she can't do anything about it.

"So what has this all have to do with me? and what task is that you can't do but I can? and why only I can?"

Shu asked, from all this he understood one thing, he is the only one who has to do it or Scarlett wouldn't have wasted her time explaining everything to him.

Realising that her trump card has been seen through by Shu, Scarlett understood he is very sharp. So there's no point hiding it and he would know eventually anyway.

"Yes as you might have assumed there is a matter I can't know or to be exact no one other than you can do and that is to reach half energy stage and rebuild a body for me." Scarlett, at last, said the main point of the whole matter.

Shu who heard the main aim of this conversation is for him to achieve the same stage as her and build a new body for her, was very astonished. Although after the explanation given by her he knew that building a new body is not impossible but reaching the half energy state as her is close to impossible if not anybody would have achieved That.
