Ddraig, within the mind scape, continued training. Seeing his partner continue growing in power and becoming so powerful in such a short period of time, it had motivated him into growing as well. He may have been ancient, but that didn't stop him from trying to achieve the impossible. He was one of the most powerful beings already, but he wanted to obtain more. He didn't want his partner to reach his level as he needed to make sure his partner would continue to have the mindset of continuing his training to grow.
Shooting a powerful breath of flames straight in to the white void, Ddraig noticed that his flames were very powerful but they lacked the concentration that he wanted. It was something that he strictly noticed when Issei used his flames to harm his opponent.
During his fight against Albion, Ddraig never thought about how his flames were distributed or how they were nearly uncontrollable by him. He was more focused on countering Albion and proving that he was more powerful in how much destruction he could create. After watching how Issei used his flames, Ddraig noticed that the sheer power of his flames were spread out in such a large area that the singular point of where his opponent is doesn't get damaged as much as he could get if he concentrated his flames into a singular point.
Forming his flames and using his years of extensive knowledge, Ddraig began manipulating his flames into surrounding him. "My flames, the destruction to all that come in contact with them, are my very domination itself." Using his mind, Ddraig began concentrating his flames into his hand as a small, dense aura that appeared to be unstable. He has already tried throwing his flames out with no direct direction and watched them create destruction that, rather than destroying a singular point and creating mass destruction, the flames rather created a cluster effect. However, Ddraig wanted to try his new form of flames.
Taking his hand and shooting the dense flames straight into the white surface, Ddraig watched as a nuclear explosion filled with the heat from his flames formed. The sheer pressure, power, and earth breaking strength that was within the explosion engulfed the many cluster explosion that previously were there already. The wind pressures had forced even Ddraig to close his eyes and be blown away. Upon the wind pressures dying down, Ddraig set his gaze upon the aftermath and widened his mouth.
"Hehe... HAHAHAHAHA! This is what I wanted! Yes, the sheer destruction!" In front of him was a singular crater that brought the regular flames that he would produce to shame. His sheer power alone would increase dramatically if he were to harness these flames consistently. "This leaves me with many experiments to do."
Ddraig began thinking to himself with some experiments that he could do. Firstly, he wanted to, even if it sounded silly, create his own form. Watching Issei use the Balance Breaker and have these different aura depending on his emotions and going through Issei's memories of him watching Drag So Ball Z. Ddraig wanted another form to make up for the strength that he could have had if he wasn't sealed and continued to grow in power.
Ddraig never needed to create a new form because he was so powerful already. However, seeing how fast Issei was growing and the fact that Issei still needed someone as a teacher, someone as a mentor, or someone more powerful than him to motivate him. Hearing Issei's thoughts about what he could do with his own aura in the future, Ddraig decided that he would take the first step in infusing his body with his own aura.
Exploding in flames, changing the color of the mind scape to a deep crimson hue, Ddraig adjusted his body to shrink to form a humanoid dragon that was only twice the height of an average person. His muscles bulging with crimson veins bulging through his body, Ddraig's eyes narrowed as he finally began compressing his flames into his body. Gritting his teeth, Ddraig began feeling pressure like never before. However, after many years of solitude and meditating to his own thoughts, Ddraig had control over his mind and body to the point where he could easily withstand any pain that was dished into him.
The entire mind began shaking violently as Ddraig continued compressing all his aura, flames, and power into his own body. Finally, screaming with the might of a true dragon, Ddraig's body exploded in light as the entire area was engulfed in a deep crimson light that blinded all that can see. The previous users of the Boosted Gear that fell to the curse were blinded and Elsha, who was nearby, had to cover her eyes.
Standing in the middle of the mind scape was a figure filled to the brim with cracks flowing with molten lava. Opening his eyes, Ddraig couldn't help but laugh. He had finally reached a level beyond what he was always stuck with. "I'VE DONE IT! I HAVE DONE IT!"
With one step, the ground itself around Ddraig melted into nothingness as gas formed around Ddraig. Flowing into the air, Ddraig's heat was so far and away above his previous state to the point where Albion would melt in his presence if they were to fight once more. However, the cracks filled with molten lava began shaking as more cracks began forming. The form was super unstable forcing Ddraig to transform back to his base form.
"It doesn't matter if I can't stay in the form for long. I've broken through the ceiling of an Heavenly Dragon." Looking down at his burnt hand, Ddraig couldn't help but chuckle, "The last time I burnt my hand was when I first unlocked my flames. Speaking of which, what would my flames be like when I spew them out in that form?"
Questions were forming and the only answer was to re-enter that form. "LET'S SEE WHO WILL REMAIN ON TOP, ISSEI!" With that, Ddraig fell to the ground unconscious.
Elsha, who was appeared where Ddraig was, looked down to see the unconscious dragon. She was terrified of the sheer power that Ddraig had upon transforming into that form. It was a power beyond anything that she could even comprehend.
Ddraig was already in the top strongest beings in the supernatural world before this development. How powerful was he now? There wasn't many beings that were stronger than him initially. Elsha was shaking in fear from sensing the huge power beforehand. What did Issei do to get Ddraig this powerful?
