Chapter 136: Conversation With a Dragon

~Sascile Redone~

Seth's throat hurts and he bled. But then the idea came to him.

~Sascile Redone. You are named by Red Eye. Didn't the ancient dragon teach you manners?~

Seth was taken aback. But thinking about manners. Seth's body moved and bowed to the blood.

~What will you do with it?~

The dragon asked. Seth stood well and then filled his throat and mouth with his aura and said,

~Training~

~You dare~

~I survived the infected Roana Prada and caused the death of the abomination in it. I need more power to fight the Silver Liquid Race~

Seth spoke long, but that was due to the aura he infused in his mouth but still, there were ruptures in his mouth.

~Dragon Word does not lie. That Red Ancient will not teach you dragon words. Where did you learn it~

'Shit. It will know if I lie'

~Yes I will know if you lie! Tell me or you will die~

The dragon was able to read Seth's thoughts and answer.

~Dragon Womb~

Seth announced and the dragon above roared, the force was so damn strong that it blasted the other dragons away. The blood on the ground bounced forward, its pressure multiplying making Seth bend in horror as he began to get squashed by it.

"Mantle!"

The chain sprang and wrapped around the blood in time. And then the chains and collar melted and fully wrapped the blood. Now it was in a rusted metal round ball.

At that very moment, the dragon above calmed down and looked down while it spread its wings, and it was very lucid.

~I have to live~

Seth said in the dragon world, in fear. As he stared back at the dragon.

The sky cleared and Seth saw it well. The dragon was blue in colour with white feathered wings and two hindlimbs, its hands and wings were one. Its face was like a falcon but more dragon-like.

~You… enslave me~

Seth stiffened to hear that.

~You freed me from the abomination in me~

Five seconds passed and the chain was still on. Seth was joyful inside.

~Amma aid in our fight against them~

That answered the point where the mantle held longer.

~I don't want to be your enemy ~

Seth pleaded.

~I will die. But you will have my voice. It will be my honour to speak in ancient dragon language even if it was from a lesser breed of dragon~

The dragon said.

~Beware of the Apex Womb you have!~

The falcon dragon flew up in the sky and then roared with all its might and then dive down, and fully used its power now that it wasn't controlled by the abomination. And then smashed into the forest forced field.

The force obliterated its body into blood and gore. But at the last minute, a slight dragon breath with dragon might be allowed to pass which slammed at Seth's body and he was flattened to the ground with broken bones.

Seth opened his eyes, surprised that he was alive. A Series of notifications popped into his eyes but seeing the sky clear from dragons and the wind blowing normally, Seth swapped them away.

He needed to know what situation he was in and the sky. Are there more dragons there? What about the crodos?

Sitting down with a groan, he saw a broken house, even his mansion in one part was demolished.

At the same time, the ground was littered with animal skeletons that bore flesh on them. Panther was gnawing at the hard flesh of an elephant, it growled at him but continued its job.

Seth looked down, the ground was covered in dried blood and their stench coming from it.

"What happened!" What comes to his mind was that crodo that he enslaved. "Shit, I should have commanded it to stay and then killed it. But… It didn't attack me. That is a plus!"

Seth sighed in realisation and thought about how to rectify this problem. That was when Panther growled again but then dashed into the mansion and hid in a concrete room.

Seth ignored it and looked at the source of the sound, the ground was trending as if something heavy was coming. After some moment he noticed Rhinoceros running toward him. It rammed into some broken house and madly came to ram him.

He pointed it with his staff and it elongated and smashed at the horn which made the animal topple down but Seth had to move away due to the momentum that shot its heavy body in his way.

The poor animal quickly stood ignoring the pain and dashed away, that was when Seth saw the thing pursuing it.

Growl!

The hunter growled at him and then fast reached the rhinoceros, jumped and landed on its back, sharp silver claws tore the skin like paper, blood seeped out and then it used its white teeth and tore away more hide and flesh.

The Rhinoceros jumped and shook violently to throw away the predator but to no avail.

The thing that was causing all this ruckus was a small adorable cub. It looked like a wolf cub in its majority but also looked like a lion cub. But this one was stronger than average and smarter than the average wolf and cat.

The little cub clung to the animal's neck and slid down and then bit the neck. It tore the flesh and blood sprouted like a congested stream.

Seth felt some connection with the blood and then he tried to manipulate it but failed to affect it.

"Red manipulation gave me affinity and also perception toward anything red, even if I can affect it!" Seth concluded.

The rhino thrashed for some time before it died, the connection seth was feeling increased and by coincidence, the blood flowed his way.

"This is not a coincidence. I'm on the road which was a few centimetres above ground than where the rhino was. This blood is coming toward me. Was it my cloak"

Seth looked at his cloak, still gurgling and digesting the drop of the dragon's blood.

It wasn't the cloak.

Seth then moved a bit away from where he stood higher. It took time as the cub tore away the hide of the rhino and fed on the flesh, the blood found some path until it reached seth feet.

"I will be damned! Did the red liquid come for me? Is this good or bad?" Seth's mind already began to see a scenario where people learn about his threat and then make their projectile red and then attack him with them.

The fact that he can't control red things that he wasn't touching means he can't stop their moment even if he can feel them.

"If I can feel them, that was a bonus but if it was a sharp arrow that can cause serious damage, even if I dodged, the damned arrow might change direction to follow me!"

Seth reasoned before he made a mental note to test that to see the effect.

Seth stepped on the blood and at that moment, the connection deepened, with a thought, the blood floated up, swirling around.

He touched it with a finger and the whole blood of more than 10-litre lifted up from the ground and danced in the sky. according to his wish.

Even with Aura Sight and Aura Blood that empower his Aura Manipulation, he didn't have this smooth control.

"Hmmm!" Seth felt his body feeling good, his breathing smooth and all fatigue went away. He frowned without knowing the reason.

He then allowed his hand to be covered by the blood and that increased the manipulation power, and he began to condense it in one place as its thickness increased. All the while the cub was feeding.

The feeling gradually dissipated and that was when Seth realized where it came from.

Aura Blood and Signature Red flowers were connected under his left collarbone. So when Seth was manipulating the fresh blood of the rhino the two reacted and his blood flowed more smoothly and positively in his veins.

"Will I get stats by manipulating blood in the future?" Seth didn't know but he hoped so in the future after he pushed the mastery from (D+) to (A+) or even less.

By the time the blood was condensed to fist size, the cub seemed to have satisfied its hunger.

Growl

It growled before it jumped at him but the womb that was floating above them flashed with light and the cub disappeared.

[Fifth Evolution Aspect: Nursing Baby]

"Okay!"

He looked into the womb and saw the cub curled, sleeping peacefully. What was amazing was Seth can see the improvement and the growth of the baby. He then pulled up the function of the aspect
