In the middle of the forest, where a open land was present, stood two figures. One was a old man with aged white-brown hair and loose clothes. Rather than loose, his clothes seems to be battered as a thin line of blood left his mouth. His eyes were like blood red though.
Looking down at him, a majestic figure hiding him from the sun, was flying using it's two big wings. Although, it's face wasn't showing any imotions, one could understand that this person was angry at this old man. Why was this..?
"Who are you..!? Why did you attack me..!?" The old man asked. His skin seems to be affected by the sun light as it was burning lightly. He seems to be a vampire.
In a feminine yet proud voice, the majestic figure, a dragon with grey scales and big two wings asked, "You ask who am I..? Do you remember, a young dragon you captured to do something..?"
Then the old man remembered. She was talking about the dragon child he ordered his students/servants to catch. But, not only they couldn't catch it, they even lost their life.
He was the old man vampire who tried to capture the dragon, which Adam helped on his way to the academy.
"Either way, you are going to die today." Saying this, the dragon, shot a dragon breath at him within even giving him time to say anything.
A loud explosion broke out. After it, only a burned ground and grasses were visible. None of his remains were on the ground anymore.
Then the dragon moved towards another direction. But was stopped as it sensed it's surroundings being restricted. Not knowing how, something like this is possible, it's loud roaring was heard, "Who...!?"
Although she didn't got any answer, her head jerked upwards as she sensed a presence above her. Looking up, she saw a someone, a human standing on the air as if it's a land, looking down at her. As it was about to ask again, the human, Adam asked in a deep voice filled with killing intent.
"Why is a dragon here...? What do you want..?"
Hearing how he asked it without even a speck of fear, it's anger exploded as flew towards him in a flash.
'Hmm... A Master Magus level dragon..?'
As it neared him, it opened it's maw and shot a powerful breath attack at him. Adam however used space element to crush it's breath with ease. From the dragon's perspective, the dragon breath just disappeared into thin air. But in reality, he devoured it using space elements.
"What..!? How is this possible..!?" But not giving it enough time, Adam waved his hand in a arc motion. Following his gesture, feeling unknowingly afraid, the dragon flew away which helped it, as the place it stood before just burned like ice melting under the heat of sun.
Taking advantage of her stupidified expression, he activated his dragon transformation. Sensing the magic around her gradually dancing around in joy, her pupils constricted to a thin needle as her whole body began to shake as she saw this human suddenly changing his appearance. If it was just appearance, it wouldn't have thought so much about it.
But the human somehow released the aura of a dragon throughout the process. And a powerful one at that!
A large amount of magic exploded as Adam's body began the transformation. Just like when he tried for the first time, his body experienced pain, but little compared to the previous one. His whole body grew large and large before it finally became only ten feet. He wasn't transformed into a dragon this time. But a dragonoid human.
With human appearance, four horns, two big ones and two smaller ones grew from his forehead and bent backwards. His body began to glow as the skin was changed by, the appearance of silver scales on his hands, chest, neck and forehead. Two large wings, wide enough for him to cover the entire forest with its shadow, began to flutter against the air. If a human saw this scene, they would have screamed one thing. He looked like a demon of hell!
Seeing this scene of a human transform into a human-dragon existence, it couldn't stop it's body from shivering as the aura released from his body was the embodiment of terror and tyranny, making it's dragon body feel weak and powerless.
As it was thinking about what to do to reverse this situation, it heard one word from the transformed Adam.
"Kneel..."
This one word made it's whole body refuse to obey it's will, which forced it to kneel and touch the ground with its head. Not understanding why he could such a thing, the dragon was in panic. It understood that he was using a suppression technique with bloodline, but how is a human's blood stronger than a genuine dragons...!?
"I will forgive you this once. I don't care what you dragons do. But, if you bring destruction even a little closer to my family, you will be the one know what true destruction is. That destruction will be a show to the world. It will be the Annihilation of a race."
Although the dragon would have scoffed if it heard such a thing in a different situation, now it had only ine thought. He wasn't kidding. The aura of strength released from this human was stronger than her father or grandfather. How can she not panic...?
As Adam was about to punish it a little, he heard a familiar childish voice calling out to him.
"Master~~! Wait...!"
It was a projectile with crystal blue color which released ice in its path. It was the dragon which it chose to become his servant, Eirwan.
Now that he think about it, dragons had ice elements. If they do not know about it, how come he is a ice elemental dragon. He knows it himself as well.
'It seems, the dragon race has some secrets.'
"Eirwan...? What are you doing here..?" Hearing it's master calling it by its name, it felt very happy. That means, he still remembers it. Then as it reached near Adam, it began to breathe heavily.
"Sorry... Master..! I am...a..little...tired..after...flying all...the way..here..."
After waiting for a while and stabilizing it's breathing, it transformed it's appearance into a human, who looked like a young boy with blue hair and crystal like pupils. Smiling widely, it bowed a ninety degree and said,
"We meet again, Master...!" Adam nodded and pointed at the kneeling dragon, and asked, "Is this one, related to you..?"
Eirwan responded with an apologetic face, "Yes! Uh.. She's my older sister..! Please forgive her, Master..!"
Adam only chuckled and returned to his human appearance and said, "Don't worry. I wasn't going to kill her. I only wanted her to know that, it isn't good to rampage anywhere she likes. Rather, your aura seems to have grown stronger..? Did you advance to Advanced level..?"
Eirwan smiled happily and forgot about his sister as he said, "It's thanks to master! After I returned to my home, somehow my whole body felt very tired and lazy. But i was asleep for two days straight. After waking up, I felt my speed of promotion increased. Thus, I tried to train, which resulted in me advancing to Advanced level in only ten days...! I am sure this is because of the bond with my master and I..!"
As Adam asked Maya about it, he got an answer saying, it might be an evolution. It's very hard to comeby as there are certain unknown conditions to trigger such a process. It seems, after Adam's contract with Eirwan, it's whole bloodline advanced.
"I see... Good for you...! But for now, can I hear why is your sister is here, and killing everything on her way..?"
Sighing in defeat, Eirwan explained. It seems, after he returned to his home, his ever spoiling older sister was concerned about his safety. Thus she wanted to meet whoever his master was. And on the way, she killed, the vampire old man who tried to use her younger brother for experimental purpose.
Understanding she wasn't in the wrong, Adam deactivated his suppression and asked, "I guess I am sorry...? I thought you were here to attack us or something..."
Although she wasn't smiling or crying, her eyes exploded like a fountain as she heard his words. She hugged Eirwan and said, pitifully, "Eir..! This man humiliated me..! I can't be a wife anymore..!"
Even Adam was startled by this, as he never expected a dragon to be such a spoiled child. What's more,
'Even though she's older than me, she's still single...? I guess its probably due to her personality....' Then as if she read his thoughts, she glared at him and asked, "You thought something very rude just now, didn't you..?"
Flinching slightly, Adam betrayed himself as the dragon girl had a tick mark on her forehead as she screamed, "You..! You dragon headed idiot human..!?"
Her badmouthing seems to be due to her childish personality as she didn't know what to say. Chuckling lightly, he made her face turn red as imaginary steam began to raise from her head.
Laughing to his sister's embarrassed and flustered face, Eirwan asked, "Sister..!? Why are you so funny now..?!" But he stopped as she bonked his head with her fist.
Smiling at the siblings exchange, Adam said, "Then, I will be leaving. You won't be making any problems, right..?" His question made her shiver slightly, as she nodded in repetition. As he was about to leave, Eirwan suddenly said something, that made, Adam interested and the older sister dragon to look at her little brother helplessly.
