"Ugh!!!" Ddraig's upper and lower jaws clenched tightly, veins bulging on his dragon face as he tried to crush Haru's body.
Haru easily reached out with both hands to block Ddraig's biting.
"Hey, hey, it was just a greeting; no need to get so angry." Haru's face showed a hint of apology as he looked at the enraged Ddraig.
Upon hearing this, more veins popped out on Ddraig's face, even wrapping around his four limbs like old tree roots. He looked as if he wouldn't rest until he bit Haru to death.
In reality, walking down the street, Haru let out a few dry laughs and withdrew the part of his consciousness that had entered the soul space.
Snap! Haru's figure instantly vanished, and Ddraig's jaws snapped shut, producing a loud bang.
The intense pain transmitted through the nerves in his mouth to Ddraig's brain. His dragon eyes turned blood-red, and the sharp pain only fueled his ferocity.
In the soul space, Ddraig spewed molten lava, wielded his sharp claws, and wildly destroyed the boundless land beneath him.
It's important to note that this land was formed by the Earth Rule that Haru possessed; severe damage could harm his foundational powers.
Therefore, sensing Ddraig's actions, Haru quickly activated the authority crystal within the egg.
In the sky of the soul space, the egg, existing as the sun, emitted a dazzling white light. Suddenly, The Mountain, towering a thousand meters high, appeared above Ddraig.
Boom!Â
In an instant, Ddraig was suppressed beneath The Mountain, unable to move.
The Mountain was summoned using the mountain authority of the Heavenly Emperor, deduced from the egg.
Compared to that monkey, Ddraig, whose existence was now just a remnant soul, was weaker and naturally couldn't resist The Mountain's suppression, being firmly pinned beneath the mountain.
Subsequently, Haru appeared before Ddraig again, simulating the aura of the Earth Mother Goddess, the Mother of Dragons and Serpents. Standing on Ddraig's head, which extended from beneath The Mountain, he spoke softly.
"Have you calmed down, Ddraig?"
"Hmm... I've calmed down, but that joke went a bit too far, new partner." Feeling the extremely familiar aura of the Earth Mother Goddess, the blood-red in Ddraig's pupils gradually faded, returning to his original crimson eyes.
"Ahaha~~ Um... I'm sorry." Haru looked embarrassed and let out a few awkward laughs. Then, seeing Ddraig's disgruntled expression, he quickly bowed deeply and sincerely apologized.
"Forget it. Nice to meet you, partner. I am the Red Dragon, Ddraig. To be honest, my first impression of you... is very poor." Ddraig's dragon face was serious and solemn as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Nice to meet you, Ddraig. You can just call me Haru." Haru withdrew The Mountain and extended his hand toward Ddraig, a gesture inviting a handshake.
Ddraig pondered for a moment before extending his right claw. The tip of his claw touched Haru's hand, completing a handshake between man and dragon.
"So, did you seek me out for something, Haru?" Ddraig spoke softly, but his "soft" voice was as loud as a car horn.
"I want to study your abilities. In return, I promise to help you resurrect after collecting your body." Haru looked into Ddraig's eyes and said earnestly.
"..." Ddraig fell silent. Studying his abilities was a small matter; every generation of his partners had studied them in detail. It wasn't a big deal.
However, Haru's promise of resurrection made him skeptical. The power to resurrect always came at a significant cost, especially for an existence as formidable as himself.
"If resurrection is the condition, then you need to study all my abilities, including the 'Blaze' that was sealed by the God of the Bible, right?"
After thinking for a moment, Ddraig spoke to Haru in a deep voice.
A price comparable to resurrection would likely be all the powers he possessed, including the ultimate flame capable of burning everything to ashes, the "Blaze" sealed by the God of the Bible when creating the Sacred Gear.
Haru nodded slightly at Ddraig, and from their eye contact, he sensed Ddraig's doubts about resurrection.
Haru slowly channeled his magical power, activating the Underworld Rule within the egg. A pitch-black aura of death emanated from his body, enveloping the area around Ddraig.
Ddraig looked in astonishment at the aura of death before him. Sensing the vitality hidden beneath the deathly aura, he took a sharp breath.
"Scary... This power to reverse life and death is already in the realm of fundamental laws."
Seeing this power, Ddraig immediately closed his large eyes and opened his mouth to spit out a basketball-sized light orb. The orb was enveloped in crimson flames and, in a breath, arrived before Haru.
"This light orb contains research information on my abilities from me and my previous hosts. I want to add one more condition: resurrect the White Dragon, Albion. You can set the price."
As Ddraig's eternal rival, Albion had battled him since mythological times until now. Even though their bodies were dismembered and souls sealed into Sacred Gears, they continued to guide their hosts to fight each other.
Their mutual battles had become their sole hobby. So if resurrection was possible, he naturally hoped his rival would also recover so they could continue their endless struggle.
"Well... that's acceptable. The condition is that you pledge your loyalty to me. Is that okay?" Haru pondered for a moment and then agreed. With complete bodies and souls, resurrection was an easy task for him, so accepting Ddraig's request was no problem.
"Agreed!" Ddraig's deep voice resonated; compared to his rival, personal freedom was of little importance.
Shortly after making the agreement with Ddraig, Haru in the real world arrived at his classroom in Kuoh Academy.
Classes began. As one of the underachievers, not many teachers paid attention to him, allowing Haru to rest with his eyes closed at his desk.
In reality, Haru was in his soul space with the egg, researching Ddraig's abilities.
Perhaps because he had obtained the complete rules from the "Campione World" and had a rich data library, the egg's deductions were somewhat different this time.
The rules of Ddraig's abilities, such as Boost, Transfer, Penetrate, and Blaze, were quickly extracted. The egg then began to simulate and integrate them with the Earth Rule that Haru possessed.
By the time the dismissal bell rang, the egg had slowly deduced a new ability combined with Boost.
Originally, Boost could at most enhance the power of a Heavenly Dragon. Now, it could comprehensively amplify the power of an entire continental plate or even the Earth itself.
In the original Earth Rule, Haru's attacks already possessed the mass comparable to the Eurasian continent. But now, even his defense, speed, energy, and other aspects were elevated to a continental level.
Understanding the new effects of Boost, Haru was overjoyed and shouted in his soul space:
"Give me a simulated Star Map, and I could be Azathoth!!!"
At that moment, a figure appeared at the door of Haru's classroom and knocked a few times.
"Excuse me, is Issei here?"
