"No, I should be the one apologizing." Drake said, having been taken aback by the female Beastkin's sudden apology. "I shouldn't have overreacted like that."

Calling it overreacting was an understatement, as he would've erased the Blue Giants village if the fight went on any longer.

Raising her head, the female Nine Tails looked Drake in the eyes and introduced herself.

"My name is Layla Goldensun. Ralf had told me the purpose of your visit so if it's not too much I would like to hear your story."

"I'm fine with that but…" Drake glanced over at Lena then spoke. "We're about to leave the village."

"That won't be a problem." Layla said. "As it involves my daughter I've resolved myself to provide my assistance. I ask that you allow me to accompany you on your quest."

Sam wasn't expecting her to come along, however when he thought about it for a moment he realized that it made sense that she would. The two didn't get to talk yet so they knew nothing about the other side of the story.

    "Do you mind if I ask a question?" Morning came and while the party was having breakfast under a somewhat awkward atmosphere Layla decided to break the ice."Go ahead." Drake said, forcing a smile on his face."We are going to revive Lily, right?" She said, her eyes locked on him. "In order to do so we have to secure a magic zone with highly concerned Magical Essence, do you have anything in mind.""Well…" Drake didn't really have the time to consider it at all so it was only now that he started thinking about it."It will be quite the challenge." Roland said. "We have to defeat an SSS tier beast at the very least. Worst case scenario we would have to face a king class.""... I think I know a place." Drake said. "And we might be able to avoid fighting at all.""I doubt that's possible." Layla said with a sigh."A few months ago the Frost King was killed on Iceland." Drake remembered the giant blue bird and the horrors it brought. It's been only four months since but now he felt like

    After a long discussion Drake and the others decided to head for the frozen peaks to use the Frost King's domain to revive Lily.They packed their things and were about to depart, but before they did Roland reminded Drake to put his mask on.Layla thought it was wierd for him to hide his face Layla so she decided to ask for the cause."Come to think of it…" Roland looked upwards realizing something important. "You were staying in the village so you probably dont know."The Blue Giants' village was isolated from the world so they barely knew anything about what happened in Ouroboros' capital.The tall guy told her of the battle that took place after Lily had died, how Drake trying to make her murderers pay ended with the destruction of an entire human city and the deaths of thousands. The female Beastkin was terrified, but then she remembered the fight she had with Drake and how he lost control on his second form and almost ended up destroying the village.For a moment she began to se

    The destination was Ironside, however the party decided to make an important stop. If they are going to fight an SSS tier beast then they would need a weapon of that same caliber. "This is… worse than I thought…" For the first time Drake got to see the aftermath of his rampage. Three weeks had passed since then. Though some reconstruction were undergoing most of the buildings were still destroyed. The people were still mourning and most had lost hope. The disaster was something unheard of ever since the inception of the kingdom. The night that black wingless dragon rampaged through the capital will never be forgotten.Even with his mask on Drake didn't feel too confident about going into the ruined city. He wasn't even sure if Ironclad was still alive or even if he'd have finished working on the magic weapon after what happened. However he still decided to check and see. He didn't have much of a choice.In the end his disguise drew more attention instead of keeping him hidden. To c

    "Wait…" Drake said, walking forward with a hand up. "What's there to wait for?" The hunter resting the ace on his shoulder."It seemed like you've realized something just now. You look like a very perceptive person. But think about it for a moment." Drake said, looking to the left, then to the right. His eyes, hidden behind the mask, stopped in the man leading the group blocking their way. "Do you seriously want to do this?"It was clear that they were all Hunters after the bounty placed on Drake's head. It was a lot of money, one couldn't just ignore such sum. However anyone with half a brain would know gettig it would be easy, and those who have witnessed the disaster or at least seen the destruction that befell the capital would know what kind of horror the one they're after is capable of. "Listen here, kiddo." The man with the axe said. "This ain't the first time we fight a monster. If we die, we die, but there is one thing." Showing his yellow teeth through a huge grin the man

    The hunters numbered twelve and they all knew what they were doing. Though Drake's speed was unparalleled they somehow managed to keep up with him not suffering a single injury in the process.They weren't doing much damage themselve. That said, Drake was starting to get angry as the battle dragged on."Is he holding back?" Layla asked."Of course he is." Roland replied.Drake had yet to use a skill other than Flash Step and a single Sharp Blade. If he had stacked the skill like he usually does then he wouldn't have had a problem cutting through the Hunters, armor and all, however he was opting to only coat his blade in one. "Wont he lose control at this rate? It certainly looks that way…"The female Beastkin saw the frustration on Drake's face. If anger was the catalyst for him entering the second assimilation stage it wouldn't be long before he Souls turn out to that black flame monster."I really dont want to deal with that…" Roland said, putting his gauntlets on. "Who knows what

    Drake stepped back and Roland took his place. Watching as that happened the Hunters felt a hint of frustration."They're looking down on us, Geese." One of the man said, looking over at the man with the axe. "They sure are…" Geese, the one leading the group, spoke as his eyes carefully analyzed their new opponent.He didn't know how strong the tall guy was but the fact that the monster they're after let him do the fighting meant he wasn't any weaker. "Let's finish this quickly." Roland said. "Though I would be grateful if you just let us go.""Oh you can go if you want." Geese said. "We're after your friend over there, after all.""Guess this wouldn't end peacefully."Taking a fighting stance, roland pulled his arm back and prepared to throw a punch. The hunters prepared themselves. Looking at the distance they believed he would be using a long range attack, however their expectations were shattered when the tall guy suddenly disappeared. Geese held up his axe to block, but it was

    After leaving the capital Drake and the others decided to move quickly before news about them spread.Last time it took days on horse back to get to Dragon's Head however this time they opted to go on feet. Well, except for Drake that is. Using his Flight skill made the trip much easier. Though since he wasn't used to being in the air for too long his started getting tired halfway through and decided to cross the leftover distance using Flash Step like Roland and Layla.They arrived to the port in just a couple of hours and though it left them somewhat exhausted it was worth the hustle. Roland was the only one able to board the ship though. Drake was a wanted criminal and Layla didn't have any kind of identity document so both had to sneak into the ship.Layla used her mirage skill to make herself invisible while Drake just flew on board after the ship departed. From there it was just another boring flight that reminded Drake of his first time riding the moon whale ships.The same pro

    "This place is cold…" Layla said, wrapping herself in her sixtails as she hid under a blanket."Well, we did say we would be going to the Frozen Peaks." Drake commented. "You thought it's a warm and sunny place?" "I didn't think the whole island would be covered in ice!"The female Nine Tails wasn't very pleased by the peculiar whleather of Iceland. Drake found it funny since the name was spot of, unlike in his previous world where the location with the same name doesn't actually have much ice in it. Layla wasn't used to such cold weather. Apparently the place she used to live in so far had a fixed weather with it being spring all year round with none of the other four seasons. Well, the same could be said for Iceland since it's winter all year long, though account to Ragnar the winters are much harsher than what he had experienced."By the way." A question popped up in Drake's mind the moment he heard about Layla's original home. "You came from the upper realm, right? What's it lik

    A lot of things happened after the battle against the Dragonspears. When they reunited with the others, Drake learned that Peter had saved Edda and her hound as well. Turns out the two were actually in a secret relationship and she was the one who came up with the whole plan of destroying his contract and escaping. Apparently she was of a rare race of Beastkin that possessed healing abilities. Since her bloodline was too valuable the Dragonspears wanted to make her a part of their family instead of enslaving her then harvesting her Soul. Healers were a rare commodity so even if they're Beastkin they're always treated well. That said, she couldn't get over the fact that she was sold like an object and was looking for the perfect opportunity to betray them. The weirdest part of all was that she had fallen in love with Peter despite him being nothing but a cloud of smoke. Drake was confused about how they planned on making it work, however the girl said that a magic that allows Beastki

    "Why…?" Rollo asked his voice hoarse. He was on the ground, his lower half was lost, both of his arms as well. His wounds were frozen preventing him from regenerating. The frost was spreading killing his cells one by one. "I dont really know what you were expecting." Drake said, scratching the back of his head. He hated Rollo. Killing him was only natural. Still, seeing a kid laying on the ground having suffered such grave injuries Drake almost felt bad for him. Almost. He wasn't about to feel sympathy toward someone who planned to enslave him. "I… thought… we could be… friends…" the boy struggled to speak. His lips had turned blue and the breaths he struggled to release with each word turned into white fog. "I wanted you… by my side… we could've… we could've ruled… the upper realm…" "Friends? That's a really bad joke." Drake snorted, mocking the idea. "I only saw you as the bastard who wants to turn me into a weapon. I guess you have succeeded in that regard. Bet you didn't exp

    Something about Rollo began to change. The aura covering his body began to fluctuate. He dropped his spear and his blue eyes turned bloody red. Drake heightened his guard. He felt that something odd was happening.The red haired boy had used the effects of the redacted title to force his main Soul to evolve. It was a Red Dragon. Though the name was simple, it was the Soul of one of the seven primal beasts that once ruled over the upper realm, the ones that put an end to the first Eternal Night. The final stage of its evolution is the Light Dragon. It was as rare as the Eternal Night, never found in the wild and can only be reached by cultivating the beast Soul with the help of the system. All of the other Souls Rollo had assimilated were consumed to gather enough Essence for the evolution. The forced process did the same to him as it did to Drake and caused him to lose control as he entered the second stage of assimilation.Scales began to grow on his arms and legs. A thick white t

    The moment Drake chose the YES option everything suddenly went black. He couldn't see or feel, it was as if he was pulled out of his body, left as an accumulation of thoughts without a physician form. Time passed. He didn't know how long but at some pont he opened his eyes and looked around him. The black castle was a mess. Corpses everywhere missing most of their remains. Weapons of different types and sizes, broken and destroyed. Armor and shield thrown around bent into unknown shapes. What caught his attention the most were the crystals scattered around and the strange artifacts here and there. They didn't look like anything he recognized. Little did he know what they were magic weapons that had been used on him. The black castle was destroyed. Most of its buildings had crumbled. The walls surrounding it rendered to dust. Upon further inspection Drake noticed white flames here and there eating at anything that had yer to burn. Thay was enough of a clue for him to tell what had

    Drake Went around hunting the apprentices looking for him. He approached them peacefully then took the chance to erase them using his void hand. Sadly it didn't go that well till the end. As he was erasing the forth one the fifth saw it and took off. Drake was unable to catch up with him and he ended up warning the servants who went around warning the other apprentices or guards. It was a shame that he couldn't go about it in a more quiet manner, but nothing could be done about it. Tossing the oil lamp he was carrying, drake coated both of his arms in the black flames. He faced the oncoming enemies and prepared to attack."What are we supposed to do!?" One off the guards asked. "He's an important guest of the lord, right?""They said he had killed some apprentices. Until we do a more thorough investigation we have to restrain him for now!"They didn't have to wait though as they got the proof they needed soon enough. The first guard to approach Drake had half of his body erased. Dra

    Drake gave Layla and Lily a few minutes to have their reunion, however they needed to move quicker so he told them to save it for a later time. They needed to get moving before the main members of the Dragonspear family are informed of his disappearance. After changing Lily into new clothes, Drake accessed his system and began pooring all the Essence he had into his beast Soul.[《Starless Night.

    "Alright." The shadow said. "Everything is in place. Let's get going."Drake took a deep breath then nodded. The time to execute the plan has come and so the two began to move. The shadow enveloped Drake teleporting him to the first location."... Drake?" Layla said, seeing her the boy fall out of the sky.Roland was there as well, taking a fighting stance the moment he saw the strange shadow."We got no time. Come with me." Drake said. Without asking any questions the two came closer and were enveloped by the shadow as well.The next time they opened their eyes they were in an unfamiliar location. Roland was on his knees in no time, struggling to breath. Layla was able to tell they were in the upper realm, and not just anywhere but in a Nexus point where magical Essence was concentrated the most."We are going to revive Lily." Drake said, opening his inventory and taking the little girl's soul. "Wait. What's going on? Isn't this… too sudden?" Layla asked."I'll go keep an eye on th

    "So? How are we going to do this?" Drake asked. "You're asking for my help so you should already know how to remove the curse, right?" "Huh? Do you believe me now?" The shadow spoke, his voice containing a hint of joy."Nope. I didn't even decided whether to help you or not." Drake said, waving a dismissive hand. "First of all, let's hear what you have. I'll decide after I hear your plan."... okay, that work just fine, I guess." The shadow said with a sigh. "When I was still a kid someone sold me to the Dragonspears. The slavery contract is a magical item that binds me to the one who signed on it, the family head.""You arent going to ask me to kill him, right?""Of course not!" The shadow exclaimed. "Well, it is one of the possible solutions, however killing that monster is impossible. Our only choice is to find the contract and destroy it.""So? Why dont you do it already?" Drake asked."Because I can't." The shadow replied. "I can't defy my owner, remember? That means I can't bre

    "GOD FUCKING DAMN IT DRAKE! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!" The shadow was really pissed off. He had barely managed to teleport them outside the cave before it collapsed. Now they were in the field with the new Frost King's corpse Rollo had killed a while ago."You could've gotten us both killed!" The shadow went on, berating Drake for his unreasonable actions. Drake didn't give him much thought, gripping his sword and preparing to continue his attacks."What the fuck do you think you're doing!!?""I don't? Killing the bastard who's trying to use my dead brother to make me do something?" Drake said, cauting his blade with the black flames."I am your brother!" The shadow said. "Well, I did die and got reborn so I guess you have a point. But it's really me! You gotta believe me!""Yeah right." Drake went on to attack, swinging his sword again and again. "You're still as crazy as ever." The shadow said, swooshing here and there avoiding the flurry of attacks. "Did you like this world? Vi
