Regardless of how strange he seemed to speak, I was nonetheless happy to hear the voice which I had previously found a bit annoying.As the final target of the search journey that I was planning to set off for soon enough, being able to talk with the Dragon Ancestor once again was obviously a very unexpected surprise yet also a very welcome one!
Fate was truly mysterious, one could go seeking something only to find another. The quick change of events that had taken place when I was just here in search of a book was truly astonis.h.i.+ng.
Not only was I able to receive another rare chance of evolution, but it seemed like I also would be able to save a great deal of time as I no longer had to wander the Nature Domain in search of another mythical dragon…
Naturally, the first thing that needed to be checked was whether I could communicate back or not.
"I think so…?"
"Yeah, we were met with some really misfortunate event, which had something to do with an ent.i.ty called the "Demonic Sovereign", we… were kinda almost dead…"
Though the Dragon Ancestor"s voice that was transmitted to my mind was always elusive and mystical that even its gender was hard to determine, it was currently rarely exhibiting signs of… anger.
It seemed like the Dragon Ancestor was no longer in a playful mode, referring to whom he called little Greenie before as Green, who was probably recognized as the "Green Dragon" by the system.
"Indeed, it was quite the strange coincidence…"
"What do you mean…?"
"Oh, yeah!"
The whole unexpected "reunion" with the Dragon Ancestor has caused me to slightly go off track, but since I confirmed that our communication is back two-sidedly, it was time to do what I was stopped from doing two times already, which is to give some explanation to Blade who was still standing frozen in place.
While mental communication went incredibly fast that barely a few more seconds had pa.s.sed, Blade had already been waiting for answers for the whole while I was undergoing the evolution...
"Hmm?"
"And the problem is…?"
"..."
"If that"s the case, then what makes this urgent?"
"You are saying…"
"I see, so this urgency is because... this lingering energy can"t be preserved?"
As I stopped trying to think about the interesting thing that the Dragon Ancestor said about this "Coincidence", I quickly thought of all of the available scenarios that I could choose from.
Though the Dragon Ancestor was usually quite playful with his speech, it wasn"t hard to understand that how he presented the matter was for the sake of stressing the importance of making a choice within the next few seconds, which is why I didn"t hesitate to choose the most obvious one.
"Alright, I"m going now as long as Light can come along."
Though I really wanted to leave the domain for everything to go as planned, that didn"t mean I would be willing to give up the only real family that I had this easily for the sake of it...
"Meow!"
Light, the little kitty cat, got his face out of the bag as he meowed in rejection as he seemed to deny the "belittling" words that the Dragon Ancestor has said as he seemed to have the ability to overhear through our shared mental connection, but I couldn"t find that as anything but cute as I patted Light out of habit.
"That"s great, then just give me five seconds then you can activate your ability."
"Got it."
No longer bothering to hide it using "Illusion" by this point, considering what was going to happen, I stored my leather armor in my ring at the exact moment that I activated "Dragonization" which was obviously what the Dragon Ancestor referred to as the "half-dragon form".
"You are…"
At the same time, it seemed like Blade could no longer stay silent now that I looked in his direction as he opened his mouth, probably trying to find the correct question just like I was trying to find the correct explanation a short while earlier…
"I know this looks very strange to you and I understand that you probably have many conflicted thoughts at the moment, however, I just want you to know that though I might have not been very honest about my background, my intentions were just the same as you, saving the Nature Domain."
Speaking out as I looked directly in the eyes of Blade, I tried to say little but meaningful words, yet I ended up doing the exact opposite somehow. At this point, my back which has been completely covered in dragon scales felt a little bit strange…
"I would explain more, but I have little time left so I can"t say much, but I know you will do well looking over the domain… also, if it isn"t much, I would be grateful if you give this letter to the village chief of the Green Earth Village."
Putting the letter that I just took out from my ring into the shelf that was the closest to me, I stepped back a little as I realized what was wrong with my back…
"Is this really necessary…?"
Two giant green wings that were much larger than my body had somehow sprouted out of my back as they started to envelop me!
"Wait-"
It seemed like Blade had something to say, but… his voice was already cut-off as the two wings" ends met at the end of my sight.
"..."
"Don"t you think that this is vital information that should have been said from the start…?"
I had a.s.sumed from experience that I would be the one to choose the domain I would be transported to, and expected that the Dragon Ancestor would have stated it if that wasn"t going to be the case this time, but it seemed like I somehow underestimated his unreliableness…
By now, I could no longer see the green skin of the wings or anything at all, to be exact, as I had finally experienced something that was similar to part of my last domain travel experience, there was nothing but light around me!
