Chereads / SSS-Rank Hero retiring to Start his Villain Arc / Chapter 27 - Humanoid Transformation

Chapter 27 - Humanoid Transformation

[Alert!]

[A transformation is about to take place]

system giving the hint, that the dragon is about transform. the hint of the system wasn't necessarily required by Leon who already sensed the change in the Beast's energy.

the dragon's eyes reflected a different color than before, they shone like blue. The dragon scale morphed from red to blue. the change of color wasn't all but the beginning part of the transformation.

"Ruff… Ruff…"

the dragon was taking a heavy breath, covering himself with his massive wings from the site of Leon.

should I let him transform? It will be a waste of time…

The dragon's visible legs were shrinking in size with the wings but the rate at which the wings were shrinking was slower which stopped at a certain reach.

an ominous aura was emitting from within the wings, the only thing that remained was the revealing of the dragon himself.

Maybe I should let this be. I want to see just what this transformation is about…

the wings with flashy moves spread wide, revealing the dragon's new transformation. A humanoid appears with blue scales all around and a muscular body with two thick horns on the head. The dragon's eyes were closed but briefly after the reveal, with a slow pace, he opened them.

Leon's reaction towards the dragon's transformation was a blank look of face. To Leon, it was as if he has been seeing this type of transformation all his life.

"What's with that reaction human, don't you feel any fear in your heart?"

[A High S+ rank monster has appeared]

[What do you think?]

About what? questioning the system through his mind.

[that you shouldn't play around with your enemy. you're basically playing with their feelings]

Leon gives a soft laugh placing his hand before laughing. the lizard misunderstands wondering that the laughter is against him. "Greh… I will kill you…" the dragon was consumed by irritation. 

the words reached Leon's ears; he noticed the muttering of the humanoid monster. with him a glace Leon inquired. "Have you said anything?"

his ignorance was too high for the beast to endure, and Leon's manners weren't pleasing to the dragon, that behavior indicated that Leon was taking the dragon like a light bug.

The dragon covered the distance between him and Leon within a millisecond. this extraordinary speed was nowhere to be found in the dragons however, it was Leon's first time experiencing to witness some quality speed.

the lizard raised his fist from below, giving a fast punch to Leon's jaw. "Kugh!!" unheard of such a quick reaction, Leon felt helpless in defending himself from the powerful fist to the jaw.

The dragon stretches back his arm when moved, he bends his muscular-like arm and squeezes the already-formed fist even tighter.

"Let me clean all the ignorance inside you human" his voice was deep and chilling, with cold smoke emerging out from his mouth.

Woosh…

Bang…

[alert]

[hp is decreasing]

Oh, that's…

the dragon's fist struck Leon in the gut; the strike made nearby clouds to blow away.

[the clones except one will disappear]

the clones that fought against other giant lizards vanished like clouds; the dragons were perplexed as to where the humans disappeared although they were unaware of the vanishing. they took it for a trick of that human.

Leon flies off backward due to the punch, it creates a distance between him and the dragon of two apple trees combined 6 meters.

placing his hand on the gut, Leon stayed silent with a grave face. "Huff… Huff…". There was some sort of pain that Leon felt from the punch. Maybe he shouldn't have taken the beast lightly and ended him before such a terrifying transformation.

The other dragons had their eyes set on both, seeing how their leader was having the higher ground made some feel all hyped up and cheered. those who had the silent gaze felt agitated inside. it could be a gut feeling, the answer to it wasn't even in their minds.

still, with no sign of movement, the monster was utterly confused as to why the human wasn't taking action. the only thing Leon was doing was the gloomy stare he was giving the dragon.

[what's the matter?]

sigh… Leon took a sigh inside his mind.

the system was also perplexed by the sudden change in feeling and expression. it was the reason the system inquired whether he was facing a difficulty.

[if there's something bothering you the system will fix it]

no… it's nothing… it's just I feel sad that I… I chose to give him time… the only thing he did was give me pathetic punches that felt like a newborn punching an adult…

[…]

[He, He, He… I thought it was something else. but glad that there wasn't something grave to worry about]

The dragon's eyes lit up, his neck feeling bright as if something were trying to come out. the dragon's chest moved outward; his hand clenched with a tight fist.

Be prepared to face my ultimate breath…

the fire-breather, breathe-out flames that had the color blue what's more noticeable was the hotness and the range it could reach was longer than average.

unexpectedly, Leon reversed back to his original state, the wings were all sank within his body. his eyes were reverting back to like a human along with the teeth. scales morphed to soft skin.

bewildered, the dragon saw it all with his eyes. To him, he wondered if the human had surrendered himself. nonetheless, it was too late to cease the breath he just blasted out.

the flames had reached up to Leon, he could feel the heat waves without coming in touch with them… "It's seemingly hot."

[Yes! Blue flames are much hotter than normal flames… what's more surprising is that dragons contain a gas that combines with flames and makes even a regular flame 10 times hotter]

"Oh… Nice…" Leon muttered with a menacing voice. His expression changed to a devilish charm. evilness…

that beast felt anxious all of a sudden, his heart was becoming heavy, and with each beat, it wasn't comfortable. the cause was an abrupt feeling that he could not shake off.

the flames engulfed Leon from all sides, all eyes seeing him being consumed by flames couldn't imagine the way for him to escape the hotness that could turn him into ashes in a matter of seconds.
