Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

Chapter 460 Contracting A True Red Elder Dragon

-----

As I felt completely disappointed over my little soul being too weak to contract with a dragon in the flesh, Alice interrupted my thoughts with her words of wisdom.

"Well, if it is just temporary, I think it should be possible. The moment you made a contract with me your Soul Strength was increased several times, Sylphy." Alice quickly whispered to me.

"So I can?" I asked her through telepathy.

"Only temporarily, but that was his intention from the beginning, apparently." Said Alice.

"He only say it was temporary, right?" I asked.

"Yeah, only temporary contract." Said Agni. "Hmph! I am only doing this so I can get out of here. If I grant you strength, I'll be able to help you, whom Ignatius had grown so fond of. And I will also be able to peek at your heart. It is said that a Dragon's True Power can only emerge when they make a contract with a powerful Master, if my brother was able to do this with you, then I want to try." Agni made a few excuses.

"Right, I had heard about it. However, you dragons are too greedy and prideful to ever let anybody become your Masters, in fact, nobody has ever been able to contract a Dragon before!" My mother said.

"Hmph! Well, if you weren't all such arrogant weaklings that only think about slaughtering and destroying everything we would consider it!" Agni said.

"What? I had never thought about doing any of that!" My mother said.

"Hah! You're a Hero that participated in that bloody war some years ago and you're saying that?! You're being a hypocrite!" Agni furiously roared.

"PLEASE STOP ARGUING!" I cried. "T-This is not the time!"

My mother and Agni looked at me at the same time, as they seemed to have taken my words into consideration.

"Right… Sorry." My mother apologized. "I suppose if its for now, you may have a temporary contract."

"Then let's do it." The Dragon's gaze was all he needed for his soul to suddenly enter my own.

FLASH!

Suddenly, I found myself within an ever-expanding volcanic land. In there, a clutch of eggs slowly hatched, as small little dragons emerged one after the other.

These were… Dragon Babies?! Why did they hatch in the middle of nowhere?! Where is their mother or father?

"GROOARRR!"

And right as they hatched, an enormous wyvern emerged from the skies, catching a baby, and devouring it mercilessly.

The other little dragons quickly grew alarmed, immediately beginning a race across these empty and desertic volcanic lands to reach a safe place.

Their first challenge in life was survive.

Suddenly, my vision changed once more, as I saw a large and juvenile dragon browsing across a forest, holding a big rat with his jaws.

He slowly devoured it, and then heard some sounds nearby.

Sneakily, he reached an open area, hiding behind the grass, he found thousands of humans battling to the death with demons.

War, bloodshed, cries, desperation, sorrow. He saw it all.

"So this is what the other races do…" He said, quickly walking away. "Such a pitiful world…"

Visions constantly moved forward. The little dragon was now a big adult dragon, having hunted and evolved over time, his enormous body was powerful and he held great endurance with his scales.

Valiantly, he looked into the tallest mountain I've ever seen in my life. Atop that mountain there was an enormous castle that seemed to have been shaped out of the mountain rocks themselves, several dragons flew around it.

This was his last stop in his journey, crawling back to the kingdom of dragons where the dragons went back after surviving and reaching maturity.

"I am here… At long last… What a horrible journey that was…"

He sighed as he moved forwards. The immensely dense winds didn't allow him to easily fly around, and he had to walk back from the bottom to the peak. Enormous monsters meet him every minute. Gigantic and fearful, they attempted to devour him even when he was close to his "home".

He fought back, devoured everything he could, and reached the peak of the mountain after over a year of an exhaustive journey.

When he slammed the doors of the castle open, a gigantic and glorious dragon greeted him, as he quickly found himself entering a mystical domain… This was the Realm of Dragons.

"Welcome, my son. You're back. This only means one thing, you've grown strong enough to join your family."

"You're my father…?"

"Yeah-"

"Fight me! I won't let you do this with your eggs any longer! Children must be taken care with love and warmth, not leaving them to their deaths!"

"Heh… I guessed as much. Come!"

And without any further conversation, the first time he found his father, he fought against him to the death…

When he regained consciousness, he found his entire body in the floor, most of his bones broken, bleeding all over, almost about to die.

"You're brave, but your idealism is not needed here. I will forgive your rudeness because you're just a pup. You have yet to see the truth of this world. The reason behind my actions go beyond your mere understanding and perspective." The Dragon King spoke. "Dragons that are weak… are not needed. Only the fittest survive, and only those I desire in my family."

"B-Bastard…"

"Heh, still with that spirit…?"

The dragon king slowly walked away, leaving Agni to his death.

However, a warm light slowly encompassed his body, as he suddenly woke up with most of his wounds healed, and with many bandages made out of leaves over his body.

A gentle green scaled dragoness greeted him, sitting at his side.

"You're awake, little brother."

"Ah… who are you?"

"They call me Verde; I am a Nature Dragon that came from the faraway land of the Elves to meet my Fire Dragon Siblings. You've had a rather harsh welcome…"

"I suppose I was the one asking for a beating…"
