After seeing all the changes done to my skills i decided to check out the strength of my skills in combat situation, to do that I first found a victim who would be my personal punching bag and after searching for quite some time I found a TEMPEST SERPENT and I quickly engaged him in mele combat using my STELLAR DRAGON CLAW but when I was two seconds away from cutting the TEMPEST SERPENT in five different pieces I noticed that the monster was not even trying to avoid my attack as if it has already accepted his fate, even though he looked really ugly and probably dumb too but I could still see it in his eyes, these were eyes of acceptance that have already come to term with their situation, after seeing that hint of intelligence in his eyes I couldn't bring myself to kill it , all the monsters I have faced till now have jumped to attack me in their mindless rage when cornered , but this one is a little different I don't know how but it's just my gut feeling that tells me that the monster in front of me is different , while I was having these thoughts with my head down the TEMPEST SERPENT was looking at me.
TEMPEST SERPENT POV
What is with this creature I have lived in this caves with powerfull monsters and even a god that lives deep inside of the cave but I have never seen something like this ever, when he came a few days ago the aura he released was really weak and because of that many monsters tried to get a quick snack but all those idiot creature who jumped at him died in seconds and I instinctively knew that my fate would also be same if I engage it that's why I decided to run as far as I can from it.
I used to be the second strongest in these caves after a TEMPEST SERPENT who died by the hands of a slime who was releasing a terrifying amount aura but many monsters failed to realise the true strength of the slime and because of that they are hardly any creatures that I have to run from because the strongest of the caves is already dead and I having been a witness to his death learned a lesson to never underestimate your opponent and because of that I have managed to live quite a long life in these caves and became even more intelligent.
But at this moment all my intelligence and cunning seems to have forsakend me and I was unable to come up with a plan in my current predicament, and when I saw the shining claws of the creature approaching my neck I was not filled with the fear of death but only with the feeling of acceptance, but it seems my luck hasn't ran out because when the creature was moments away from ending my life it just stopped, I don't know how it stopped or why it stopped but I knew that this was my only opportunity and multiple action that I can take started to form in my head the most popular being ,to attack him when his guard was currently down and I quickly decided to proceed with it but the moment I turned my mouth towards him to use my skill ,he suddenly jolted his gaze towards me , I feeling like I screwd my last chance of survival in the extreme amount of dissatisfied feeling decided to kill myself and not let that creature kill me , and then I smashed my head on the ground in between the man and me , and because of the intensity of the force used I was left with a very fatal wound and was sure that I would soon bleed 🩸 to death ☠️.
MC POV
I don't have a definite prove but it seems because of my dragon lineage all monsters that are related to dragons in any way feel a sense of kinship towards me similary to the dragonnewts, because if not then nothing can explain the figure of a tempest serpent doing a dogeza with such intensity that even his head was bleeding profusely, maybe I felt a little bad for the monster because I decided to use one of the full restore potion provided to me by rimuru on that tempest serpent, the moment I threw that potion on that snakes head he started healing at a astonishing rate visible to the eye and he kept looking towards me with a amused look on his face that I was to see in his scally face because of my own scally form.
After some thought something awakened inside me a desire that was long ago deemed as impossible but seemed to have awakened again inside of me the desire to catch them all with a iconic red and grey ball but because I didn't have something like that I decided to use the special technique of the main character of that series and various other series, talk-no-jutsu and I don't know how but it seemed to have worked and got myself a TEMPEST SERPENT who is somehow able to understand all my words and do exactly as I want him to do, and already content with my today's achievement I decided to head towards the town with my new companion right next to me already forgetting about my purpose of finding monster to test out my skills.
Because I was thinking about recreation of all my favourite fantasies in this second chance of life, in the form of a very known yet unknown magical world as a dragon.
