《Reincarnated As A Dragon Vol.1: A New World, A New Life》Chapter 26: A Demon's Essence

"Lord Gracius, we are-"
"Just call me Gracius, Alard. We're on the same hierarchy here. Same to you, Helyas."
"I would disagree, as moving from one country to another affect your power and respect, but why don't we move on? We do have something quite urgent to discuss," Alard replied.
The two envoys were actually representatives of the kingdom of Welisia, the one that would be Canada on Earth. Alard being the Lord of the town of Grarol and Helyas being the Mayor of the city of Herard, both being quite close to the border of the two nations.
Gracius graciously offered them seats in the meeting room as the staff served some chamomile tea together with some toast and butter.
"Now, where were we?" Alard began. "Oh, I'm very sorry to interrupt your daily routine or work, but a few days ago...
================================
The demon snapped his hands and suddenly I felt woozy as my surroundings shifted and suddenly we're in the forest again. The feeling subsided significantly but I was still a bit nauseous.
Then, a wave off fear nearly double that he did in the mansion came over me and I instinctively took a few quick steps back.
Upon seeing me taking a few steps back, the demon smiled.
================================
Never have I seen a creature, so small and weak, yet so brave. It is going to be so fun scaring him, chasing him through the forest, holding him up in the air, slowly cutting each and every limb as he begs for mercy until the life drains out of his slitted eyes.
"I believe we haven't properly introduced ourselves. My name is Firaun, a direct servant to the king of Rushya, the greatest assassin of all demon-kind, and you?" Not skipping a beat, I continued, "Actually, no need. I don't need to know my prey. I just wanted to give you the honour of knowing someone great before you die."

Transforming into my true form in mere seconds, 4 wings sprouted from my back, two long horns appeared on my head, and claws replaced the filthy nails on both my hands and feet. My skin turned crimson, and as soon as I finished, I spread out a wave of flames, creating an explosion that burn the leaves of trees in 10-metre radius, enough to just nip at the nails of the dragon.
"RUN, WEAKLING. RUN!" I shouted as I cackled, lifting my head up into the air as I hovered above the ground.
"HAHAHAHAHAH-ckslkcslk-"
================================
Short story short, I got annoyed when "Firaun" waved me off like I was nothing at the mansion, I got mad when he disallowed me from introducing myself, got furious at the reasoning, and snapped when he called me a weakling.
I'm sure I'm still considered a weakling to the top-level inhabitants of this world, but my patience was already on its thinnest, so snapping, I did.
I was controlled by my hatred towards this red-skinned bitch, and the first thing I noticed is how long and exposed that neck was when he started laughing. So, I did what I did. A water slash to the neck seems deadly, but it surprisingly didn't decapitate him, but he stopped his laughing and made a choking sound as black smoke started to spew out of his neck.
I didn't stop right there, the moment I saw the head didn't fly off, a dozen more slashes followed. It only took a few seconds before his body was sprawled out on the ground, unmoving. Black smoke billowed out of every open injury, but mostly out of his neck, which still surprisingly didn't get cut halfway after 3 slashes.
I smirked in my victory, planning to incinerate his body into hell when my rational mind slowly took over again and told me I shouldn't make a fire in the middle of the forest, because deforestation is illegal. But then, a hot stick fell right on top of me as I gasped, reminding me...

SHIT, THE FOREST IS ON FLAMES!
Which then I proceeded to spend a minute or two using water magic to put out all the fire and any ember that can start another.
As I was going to finish the job by extinguishing a black smoke rising into the air, I saw that it was where the body of Firaun was supposed to be. But the only thing left was his head, which was fully intact, and a red orb.
Red?! If I absorb that, would it be bad for me? Will I mentally change or something?
After another minute of contemplation, I decided to absorb it, as it should be a strong orb based on its past owner and I don't want any other creature to have it and create havoc for the town or me.
I touched it, and-

==================================
"... Some of the strongest demons our nation recognized took a... visit... and announced war with our nation on behalf of theirs. We can't ask help from Bermuda nor the Union because they are extremely busy with Mongolia for now. I know the timing is perfectly putrid, so that's why I'm here."
"You're here to seek alliance from our nation, aren't you?" Gracius assumed with a grave tone.
"... Yes...Gracius, you have to understand that-" Alard pleaded, but got cut off by Lord Gracius.
"There is a high chance that without help, the kingdom of Welisia would lose to Rushya. If your nation is being colonized, that grants Rushya more land, more troops, more power, also risking the kingdom of Altidore to be colonized too. Two kingdoms, gone, in a flash."
The room was silent for a few seconds, everyone letting the horrible truth sink in.
Gracius then continued, "The demons are on the move and we can't let them slip past us and stab us in the back. I highly agree with this course of action, but please allow at most a few weeks for the whole nation to make a choice. I'll be going as soon as possible to relay this information. Although, I'm sure that not everyone would trust you two in a flash, what proof of this event do you have?"
Alard and Helyas looked at each other, "Visit a town of ours! he whole country is in nigh-panic situations! Civilians are being trained daily just in case the army isn't enough!" Helyas said with visible distress.
"Noted, I'll be preparing to travel tomorrow. I've organized you two and your driver rooms in the inn in the centre of town for two nights. If we could go our paths, men?"
Alard kneeled on one knee, "Thank you, Lord Gracius. This is the best outcome we've imagined. I'm extremely grateful to see you."
Gracius grabbed his hand and pulled him back up, "I have my own vision for the future of this world. Most would say it's impossible or childish, but with the right people and the effort, it is possible. Ever imagined every country in peace with each other?"
He chuckled for a second before continuing, "Of course, I won't live long enough for such an era, but things like this, what we're doing, are steps to such a world which I will never let myself ignore."

The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time
When a wrong path is chosen, it isn't surprising to have a miserable ending.
8 4316School-life & Swordfights: A Clubs and Stubs Tale
Warning: Clubs and Stubs contains strong language and situations throughout that may not be suitable for younger readers. "This story takes place in a fantasy world with a modernish setting. It mainly follows four students of Hardires High School who are members of one of the greatest Team Arena Squads in the history of gladiatorial school athletics. Already two-time high-school world champions, they have entered their fourth and final year of high school in hopes of capturing a third straight world championship—something that no other school on the continent has accomplished. As they prepare for an upcoming match with a rival school, it becomes evident that keeping their two-and-a-half-year winning streak alive will be tougher than expected. As both personal and external problems abound for the student-gladiators, can they manage to keep it together under the constant pressure of being the perfect fighting unit? A blend of action, drama, adventure, and humor collide in this brand-new series!" Thanks so much for checking out my story! This is the first time that I've released any of my work to a public space so any feedback, be it positive or negative (but please be respectful if so) would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping that this story is only the beginning of a long-running series of short stories set in the Clubs and Stubs universe. Temporary Book Cover Design by David Watson The release schedule is rather tentative, but the goal is to release a chapter every 2-4 days. I want to make sure that every scene is the best it can be before it’s released, so it may take a bit longer especially if it's a longer chapter. However, no chapter should take more than a week to be released. Each scene varies in length, but are usually between 1,000 to 2,000 words.
8 105Spaceship and Dragon
A mining spacecraft crash-landed into a fantasy planet. Emma, a young spacecraft engineer, is one of the crews abroad. Armed with her knowledge, a neural assistant, and her dark energy manipulator, she has to find a way to get back home with her surviving crews. Their crazy-sounding plan was to rapidly advance the human race to space-age, build a spaceship, and go home. Will the crew achieve their plan in a fantasy world with magic, mythical creatures, and political turmoils?
8 172The War Revealed - 3rd Novel in the Shadow Series
This is the third book in the Shadow Series. If you haven't yet, please read the first 2 books The Secret War and The Light. This is a continuation. Vai Ma'amaloa is 17 years old, and his father has just accepted the position of Chief Science Officer aboard the G.E.V. Shadow, a retrofitted warship tasked with exploring the unknown reaches of the galaxy. Now, Vai will have to come to terms with leaving his old life behind. As he forges new relationships aboard the Shadow, and tries to settle into his new life among its occupants, he will be confronted with dangers and mysteries he never imagined.
8 128Songs of Legacies: Cavaron [Complete Draft]
Cavaron follows the story of a man as he travels worlds* or gets kidna-- er, summoned against his will on multiple occasions. As Cavaron travels or gets kidna-- summoned, we will see his fairly chaotic life. *Yes, WORLDS. As in many and not just one. Ever wonder what would happen if a summoned """"hero"""" gets kid-- summoned multiple times? Will they ever get tired of it? ***I re-read the first 16 chapters and figured I should rewrite it when I get a new PC. Yes, I'm not writing this on a PC, but on my mobile. Everything on mobile, so pardon the quality since my thumbs are bigger than the keys, and will be bound to have quite a lot of mistakes. ***Getting lazy to fix the first 16. If you want to PR them, PM me with your edits. ------------------ KaosChild is my previous name. I now go as, Gyfera.
8 138Revenant
Everyone dies. Not everyone gets back up again afterward. The Deep Paths are a cursed place, meant for those similarly cursed souls whom the gods themselves denied the sweet release of death. Revenants haunt the underworld, wielding forbidden powers and often consuming those who lack the strength to join them. At least, that's the story that parents teach their kids up on the surface. Reshid can't remember what he might have done to deserve such a fate, but he learns quickly that there is more to undeath than the gods and their faithful preach to the living. Revenants have a unique connection to essential magics that allows them to develop their powers in extremely diverse ways. Wherever there is power, though, there are those seeking to wield it, whether they be governments and gods from above, or mythical elder races from below.
