With Veldora now free and our pact established, it was time to plan our next move. The cave, which had served as a sanctuary for Veldora, was filled with resources that could aid us in our journey.
"Veldora, do you know of any nearby settlements or places of interest we should visit first?" I asked, eager to start exploring.
The dragon nodded thoughtfully. "There are several places we could go. The nearest settlement is the Dwarven Kingdom of Dwargon. It's a bustling place filled with skilled craftsmen and warriors. It would be a good starting point to gather information and supplies."
I nodded, liking the sound of that. "Dwargon it is then. But first, let's make sure we have everything we need from this cave. Great Sage, can you scan the area for any remaining valuable resources?"
[Notice: Scanning in progress... Scan complete. No significant resources detected. All valuable materials have been absorbed.]
"Looks like we're ready to go," I said, turning to Veldora. "Shall we?"
The dragon grinned. "Indeed. It's been far too long since I've stretched my wings properly. Lead the way, traveler."
With Veldora flying above and me navigating on the ground, we made our way out of the cave and into the open world. The sunlight was blinding after the darkness of the cave, but it felt invigorating. The landscape was vast and filled with potential, and I couldn't wait to see what lay ahead.
As we traveled, I took the opportunity to practice and refine my skills. The body of Gogeta SSJ4 was powerful, but I needed to learn how to control and harness its full potential. Great Sage was an invaluable partner in this, providing guidance and feedback on my progress.
"Great Sage, let's review our abilities and set some goals for improvement," I said, eager to make the most of my new powers.
[Notice: Reviewing abilities... Unique Skills: Predator, Great Sage, Magicule Circulation. Extra Skills: Thermal Fluctuation Resistance, Electric Current Resistance, Paralysis Resistance. Physical Attributes: Enhanced Strength, Durability, and Reflexes. Goals for improvement: Increase control over Predator, enhance combat techniques, develop strategic use of Magicule Circulation.]
"Sounds like a solid plan. Let's start with Predator. Any suggestions on how to use it more effectively?"
[Notice: Predator can be used not only to absorb and analyze enemies but also to assimilate useful traits and skills. Regular practice and experimentation will help refine its use. Additionally, combining it with Great Sage's analytical capabilities will optimize its efficiency.]
I nodded, absorbing the information. "Got it. I'll keep practicing and experimenting. Now, let's focus on combat techniques. With this body, I should be able to handle myself well in a fight, but I want to be prepared for anything."
As we traveled, I trained diligently, practicing combat moves and honing my skills. Veldora occasionally joined in, offering tips and sparring with me. It was both challenging and rewarding, and I could feel myself growing stronger each day.
Our journey to Dwargon took several days, but the time passed quickly with our training and discussions. When we finally arrived, the sight of the massive city carved into the mountainside was awe-inspiring.
"Welcome to Dwargon," Veldora said with a hint of nostalgia. "It's been a long time since I last visited. The dwarves are a proud and skilled people. Treat them with respect, and you'll find valuable allies here."
I nodded, taking in the bustling activity and impressive architecture. "Understood. Let's see what we can learn and who we can meet."
With our pact in place and our journey just beginning, I felt a sense of excitement and anticipation. The world of Tensura was vast and filled with possibilities, and I was ready to face whatever came our way. Together with Veldora and the skills I had acquired, I knew we could achieve great things.
