Chapter 4 - THE SOUL HUNTER'S PAST; PART II

When they finally reached the dragon's location it was... lazing around and yawning with all the noise and destruction going on! It was as if the dragon didn't care who came near him. This was really... confusing. The dragon's body width was about the size of a three-story building. Its wings stretched so far it was terrifying in itself. It had black and white scales and was very sturdy. It's firery-red eyes gleamed with terror yet one could sense intelligence and power from just its gaze. This dragon was truly as splendid as the tales said... in fact more than splendid.

General Brillton, without thinking through his options thoroughly, dropped his weapon and walked towards the dragon slowly with his hands raised to the level of his shoulder. His teammates were screaming for him to get back but he didn't mind. "General, are you crazy!! The dragon is resting. This is our chance to kill it!!!! ", one of the knights said. " I decided what goes on, don't interfere!!", general Brillton said with a fierce look in his eyes. " Fuck!!! Screw it!", one of the knights said jumping towards the dragon activating his attack and defense {Ice Armour and Axe: Blizzard Strike!!} "No wait!!! Are you out of your mind!!", his teammates yelled. Immediately he was on top of the dragon in mid air.... the dragon just exhaled towards his direction and he was turned to ashes (πŸ™„πŸ™„ somehow I know y'all knew the dumb knight was gonna die). That hunter was a Tank Class Crystal Core (some would say an S class Tank. Don't worry, I'll explain the system soon) with an elemental attribute of ice and he was brought to ashes by the simple exhalation of the dragon. Now the whole squadron, but General Brillton, had lost the confidence to even stand. (That's the least of their problems πŸ˜‘πŸ˜‘)"Any other small fries ready to become food for the air?", a voice said in Brillton's head. He didn't know if the others could hear it too but one thing was for sure, you didn't have to think to know that that deep voice was the dragon's. "Ummm.... I guess we're all gonna die here, huh?? ", Brillton said. The dragon looked at him as if getting ready to roast the nigga. "Nope. Originally if was about 50 years ago then yes but now.... I think I'm bored", the dragon said yawning." Huh.. so even though we're here to kill you.... you don't mind?? ", Brillton said sweating so much you could her droplets of sweat from under his armour. " Actually..... I'm giving you my core", said the dragon." Oh I see!! You're.... ehhhh... ehhhh!!!!!!!!!! You're pulling my leg aren't you? ", Axe said (let's just go with his first name😐😐). " I want to pass on my power to whoever is supposed to receive my core, and under one condition. (He brings out an egg) This is the last of my species. I want whoever consumes my orb to have a contract with the baby dragon. This comes with a bonus of immortality by the way", the dragon said.

All what was happening was completely destroying Axe's sense of calculation and reasoning. For an S grade beast to willingly give it's power out and not only that but its next of kin with a bonus of immortality is totally unheard-of. "I have one question, the orb is to help my wife get pregnant for a baby, is it possible?? ", asked Axe, nervous as shit. "Absolutely ! Just know this, your child should never sign a one sided contract with my creator. I'm so sick of that fat pig I feel like dying already! It's good you're here", said the dragon." Wait who?? ", asked Axe. " You'll know when the time comes. For now take my core to your spouse and mate well! Hahahaha!! ", said the dragon while laughing and disappearing. "Who knew beasts had a sense of humour", Axe said with a fake smile with his right eyebrow twitching and at the same time glad his team didn't here that.

As the dragon kept fading away an orange coloured orb the size of a football appeared encasing the egg with flames and only Axe could hold it otherwise, the others would become crispy as hell. With a successful mission with less casualties than expected and one 'stupid' death, they headed back to the kingdom in high spirits. The announcement was made that the dragon was no more and the hunters were rewarded handsomely (although the others didn't do shitπŸ˜‘πŸ˜‘) of course without the details as to how.

Axe came home with the orb and egg and the orb immediately entered his wife's womb although it was a bit ....painful.... ahhh!!! Who am I kidding it was an S class orb the size of a football.. it hurt like hell!!!!!!(hah.. hah.. 😁😁ok back to the story)

About seven months later, Axe had a son. Although he was a bit early coming into the damn fucking world of death and suffering and...(oops🀫🀫my bad.. but you gotta agree πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚) he was healthy and siad to be even stronger than a 15 year old boy. Even though he existed was as a result of the dragon's core his physique was still that of his dad and his eyes and character that of his mom. Remember the egg ... it hatched a day after his birth and the baby dragon was found sleeping next to the one we know as Zane Brillton, the Soul Hunter!!!

(Time Skip) Zane became one of the best in CK Academy, a school for aspiring Collapsus Knights, and at age 15 he was already at the Sphere Core Stage(A class/stage). Soon a practical exam had come up and little did he know of the ass whooping he was gonna receive...
