EARTH DRAGON ( Part 2 )

I was still silent after gazing at the giant Dragon, I felt the Dragon would attack if I moved even a little. Cold sweat started to drip from my body, as I stared at him more and more.

How about this?! Do I have to face this dragon? what should I do, I really don't know what to do right now?

“Human, I ask again. How did you come to be in this place?”

“I… I… I fell to the bottom of this abyss, and am currently looking for a way out.”

To think I could answer the dragon's question out loud.

I've made up my mind to find a way out of this place. So I will face anything that gets in my way, even if it's a Dragon.

“But you have already set foot in this place, so I have to kill you!”

The dragon issued a very terrible wind magic, the gust of the wind could even destroy the giant rocks that were around. This wind magic turned out to be very, very sharp, and all these attacks were aimed at me.

I used a unique skill and tried to dodge all of these attacks, I also resisted a few attacks with the sword. but this attack did not stop and in fact got stronger.

Damn it! These attacks are so powerful...

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!

My left hand was cut off while trying to withstand this attack, my right eye was also hit by this wind attack until finally the vision in my right eye completely disappeared. And finally this terrible wind attack stopped after it managed to hurt me quite badly.

“AARRGGHH….. IT HURTS! IT REALLY HURTS...."

I continued to feel pain until tears and blood came out at the same time.

I immediately removed the belt I was wearing and tied it in my left hand. I was still wincing in pain as I kept trying to stop the bleeding.

God damn it! This hurts so much… *huft… huft…*

Kill! I have to kill that Dragon if I want to get out of this place.

I forced my body to get back up, trying to stand up as hard as I could even though my body was shaking. I held the sword very firmly and tried my best to stay awake.

“*Huft… huft…* I'll kill you, you bastard Dragon!! Unique skill [Lightning Step]”

I ran very fast towards the giant Dragon, I immediately raised my sword and prepared to slash it when it was in front of its face.

*BOOOMM…!!!*

The giant dragon used its wind magic again and threw me against the cliff side very hard.

Arrgh... Shit! It really hurts.

I tried to get back up and kept going, even though it was really hard, but I finally managed to get back on my feet.

"Apparently you can still survive huh, human..."

"Hahaha... of course. I won't give up until I get out of this place, even if I have to kill a Dragon like you.”

I said this with bulging eyes and a big smile on my face, and the Dragon looked surprised when it saw my expression.

“Human, you really have to die…”

The dragon gathered a lot of mana in its mouth and prepared to attack. All the mana that had accumulated in his mouth formed an extremely beautiful ball.

For some reason, I admired it instead of running to dodge the attack.

“Dragon Magic [Dragon Breath]”

The massive magic was aimed straight at me and I couldn't help but stand still as I watched the attack hit me. All of my senses disappeared when hit by the attack and I couldn't feel my body anymore either.

Sigh.... so this is the end... I just died at the hands of a dragon! Well... it turns out that I really died, just as Axel expected .................................. .........................................

NO! I CANNOT DIE!! I CAN'T DIE BEFORE I KILL HIMSELF... WHATEVER HAPPENED, I CAN'T DIE.

EVEN IF I HAVE TO GET POWER FROM ANYWHERE, I DON'T CARE! I WILL DEFEAT THESE DRAGONS AND KILL AXEL. SO I HAVE TO LIVE!!!

I don't know what happened, but I kept hearing a voice talking in my head.

I was really surprised when I opened my eyes. How could I not, all the wounds I received suddenly had completely healed. Even the hand which had clearly been severed, grew back and of course my right eye could see again.

What's this? Why did my hand grow back...?

[ THIS IS THE RESULT OF EVOLUTION TO HIGH HUMAN ]

Wow?! Who's that? Who's talking in my head...?

I was very surprised when I heard that voice speak again in my head.

[ I AM THE ULTIMATE SKILL “GREED” ONE OF THE 7 SKILL SIN SERIES ]

Ultimate Skills? Greed? Sinner series..? I really don't understand all this.....

[ ULTIMATE SKILL SERIES SIN IS A LITTLE SPECIAL SKILL, WE HAVE AWARENESS AND THINKING ABILITY LIKE OTHER CREATURES. AND WE ALSO ALWAYS CHOOSE APPROPRIATE CREATS TO USE OUR POWERS]

So you have speaking skill..?

[ YES. IT CAN BE SAY LIKE THAT ]

Then what do we mean? Is there anyone else besides you?

[ YES. WE ARE ALL OF 7 AND EACH REPRESENT EVERY SIN ]

Are you sure you chose me...?

[ I WON'T VOTE FOR YOU IF I DOUBT ]

Alright then, let's defeat that Dragon!

[ YES. LET'S BEAT HIM! ]

I woke up again after all the wounds I received had healed completely, took my sword again and held it very tightly. Right now I'm not wearing any clothes, it looks like my clothes caught fire from being hit by the dragon magic earlier. Luckily my pants didn't burn completely, if they did I'd be completely naked by now.

“Hey Dragon bastard, your magic really hurts.”

"How could it be? Why are you still alive…?”

The dragon looked very surprised and glared at me with its really big eyes.

"Aaahh.... that's how it is, I understand…"

I don't know what's going on, the Dragon who looked surprised at first suddenly changed his expression to a happy smile.

The dragon immediately let out three large fireballs and flew them towards me. I immediately activated my unique skill and with a very fast movement managed to dodge all the attacks.

At first I thought I had managed to dodge all the attacks, but I didn't. Turns out the fireball was just a diversion, an attack he actually only made when I let my guard down.

A very large ball of lightning is already in front of me, and will soon hit me.

Shit! How about this? I have to dodge!

[ YORU, USE MY POWER ]

Oh! How to..?

[ YOU JUST NEED TO PLACE YOUR HANDS ON THE MAGIC ]

Huh..? Is that okay? Will the magic not hit me?

[ KEEP CALM, IT WILL NOT HAPPEN ]

All right, I trust you.

I immediately put my hand in front of the magic according to Greed's direction, and suddenly the magic had disappeared from my sight.

[ STEAL “LIGHTNING BALL” SKILL ]

[ LEARNING THE SKILL “LIGHTNING BALL” ]

[ INDIVIDUAL YORU SUCCESSFULLY GETS THE “LIGHTNING BALL” SKILL ]

Wow...! To think this ability could do something like this.

"Let's try this magic, Lightning Magic [Lightning Ball]"

I cast the same magic that the Dragon cast, and attacked him with it. I also did the same with him, using this magic as a diversion and then prepared with another attack.

I used the [Lighting Step] skill and immediately ran as fast as lightning towards the Dragon. I immediately raised my sword and prepared to slash it once it reached his face.

“Aaarrrggghhh….. feel this!!!!”

I screamed so loudly as my sword wanted to hit it.

*CLANG…!!!*

Unexpectedly, my sword shattered when it touched the dragon's skin. And the Dragon immediately gave off an enormous aura when my attack failed and I was thrown several meters away.

"Hehehe... you're really very interesting huh... human."

I was surprised when the Dragon laughed and smiled at me after my attack hit it.

"Human! Let's stop all this, I want to chat with you…?”

Huh!? I was surprised when I heard those words coming out of the Dragon's mouth.

"What do you mean...?"

“Didn't I tell you, I just wanted to chat…”

“A-are you not going to attack me…?”

I asked this with a little hesitation.

"You don't have to worry..."

Even though the Dragon had told me to calm down, I still hesitated to believe it.

“Herrgghh.... you took so long to decide, didn't you...”

*Pooommpphh...............*

The giant Dragon's body suddenly turned into a huge puff of smoke. And suddenly a woman was seen coming out of the puff of smoke.

Woah...... those were the only words that could come out of my mouth when I saw that woman's form. An adult woman with four horns on her head and red eyes that make her very charming.

I couldn't help but stare at her figure who was so beautiful.

"Wh... who are you...?"

I said this while setting up a stance to attack. Because I have to be vigilant in a place like this.

"It's me, the giant Dragon from earlier..."

I was very surprised to hear this, I didn't expect a giant dragon to have such a beautiful form in its human form.

"Why did you change shape...?"

“I think it will be easier to talk to you if I use this form.”

I finally agreed with his invitation to chat, after all I no longer feel the killing aura from him. So I guess this will be fine.

"Hey human, why are you in a place like this..?"

"Hey, I have a name you know..!"

I'm actually a little annoyed that he keeps calling me "human."

"Oh.. then, say your name?"

"Yoru! That's my name…"

“Nice name… then, you can call me Zarias.”

After the two of us introduced ourselves, I sat on the floor of this abyss because I was so tired. I leaned on the rocks that shone brightly like a diamond.

“Could you answer my question earlier, otherworldly human?”

What?! How did she know that I was from another world...?

Honestly, I was very-very surprised to hear that out of his mouth.

"Why? You surprised…?”

“H… how did you know?”

“I have eyes that can see everything, and I've also summoned some humans from other worlds. So I can tell just by looking at your mana aura.”

Once again I was surprised by his words, I didn't think I could meet a superior being like her.

"Okay... okay.. I'll answer your question. *Sigh…* I fell into this place because my party mates tried to kill me…”

Zarias just smiled after hearing this explanation of mine.

“Oh… then what are you going to do now?”

"I will definitely get out of this place and of course kill the person who has made me suffer like this."

"Hehehe... you're a very interesting human, aren't you..."

Again Zarias looked pleased when he heard my explanation, and to be honest his reaction left me confused.

“Human… no, Yoru! Let's make an exchange. If you accept my request, then I will help you out of this place. How...?"

What?! An offer to get out of this place? How is this... should I accept it or not...?

I was silent for a while after hearing Zarias' offer.

How is this... is this offer real or just a trick...? I'm still very confused about this offer. After a while, I convinced myself and made up my mind to accept Zarias' offer.

“I accept…”

“Ooh… good!”

Zarias and I finally shook hands as a sign of our cooperation.

When I touched his hand, a white light suddenly enveloped the two of us and my whole body started to feel excruciating pain.

AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH…!!!. What is this! Why is my whole body suddenly so sore? What happened!? Aaarrrggghhh…!!

The voices in my head started to stop talking and the pain in my entire body also began to disappear, and the light that enveloped the two of us was also gone.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME!! *Huff... huff... huff…*”

I shouted at Zarias very loudly.

"Relax... I'm only giving you a small part of my power."

What? What are you doing!? Give a little strength, did I hear right.

Out of curiosity, I finally tried to check my status.

"Is what she said true [Status Open]"

Status

Name : Yoru Edelhard

Race : High Human

Mp : 5,235,966

Hp : 3,112,984

Item : Dragon Eye (Gift of Zarias), Item Box

Skills : Ultimate Skill Greed (robs skill, soul, knowledge, ability), Ultimate Skill Heavenly Step (increases movement speed up to 1,000 times, and teleports), Ultimate Skill Create (capable of making objects based on the skill owner's imagination), Advanced Elemental Magic (Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Ice), Advanced Light Magic, Advanced Dark Magic, Intermediate Swordsman, Intermediate Magic Sword,

Whaaaaaat!? What's this? Why do I have this much power..?

I was so shocked when I saw my own status, I couldn't believe what I was seeing right now.

“What the hell is this Zarias, you said you only gave a small part of your power?”

“That is indeed a small part of my power, is there something wrong…?”

“Your power is very, very great…”

"Come on, follow me…!"

Having made an agreement, I finally followed Zarias towards a very large crystal stone. The boulder also had a different luster to the other stones around here, so my eyes immediately fell on the boulder when I saw it.

Eh!? What's this...?

I was quite surprised when I saw the reflection of myself in this crystal stone. This is all because some parts of my body seem to have changed.

I saw that all my hair, which was originally black, has now turned white, just like Zarias' hair. My right eye also turned red and this eyeball looks like a cat's eyeball. Not only that, my body now looks very athletic too.

What happened? Why did my hair color change...?

I wondered to myself, but suddenly a voice in my head started to speak.

[ THE POSSIBILITY OF PHYSICAL CHANGES IN YOU HAPPEN BECAUSE ZARIAS GIVES YOU A AMOUNT OF STRENGTH ]

Is it like that...?

[ YES. I THOUGHT THIS IS THE MOST POSSIBLE ANSWER TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION]

Alright then, I'll try to accept it.
