"How long until complete assimilation?" In his mental world, Dante conversed with the enormous dragon in front of him.
"A week, continue your cultivation and soon you'll be able to shed your female body," she said, looking at him; her breathtaking golden eyes settled upon him, and she finally queried, "Do you know what will happen, correct?"
"My body will recreate itself; at this moment, I need to be in a protected location," he remarked, and Eldrax perched on his shoulders in a small form.
"Eldrax will protect Dante!" she exclaimed excitedly, rubbing her face against Dante's. "Yes, yes, Eldrax, Dante's dragon!" he replied in a comical tone.
"And what about Ziriel's body?" Dante inquired, and the Dragon pointed to the newly destroyed cocoon; the being was still inside, but there were several cracks.
"They will switch places," she replied, and Dante was slightly surprised; in his head, that body was supposed to be destroyed.
