The dragon is now forced to do something he doesn't want to but he has no choice at all, going against Asura's word will put him in a bad position and the dragon is smart enough to not get on Asura's bad side.

With no option to do anything else, the Dragon decided to go with Zio as it is the only option, well he will at least be able to leave this place and see the world outside this mountain.

"Fine I will go with the boy, but will he be able to handle the amount if street that will take place by having to different Religans?"

The Dragon asked as he knew it is nearly impossible to form contracts with two different Religans, if they were weak then it was ok but when forming contracts with Magical Beast like a dragon it is suicide and Zio already has a contract with the monster that is in his hand.

"Don't worry about it, his body will be able to handle it"

Asura reassured him.

"Fine"

The Dragon said and bowed down its head to meet Zio's eye level.

Zio is surprised by this, he didn't expect the dragon to agree.

'What does he mean by me able to handle it?'

Zio asked Asura through his thought.

'When forming a contract with a magical beast of his level, it puts a lot of stress in a human's body so a second contract with any other magical beast is suicidal but you don't have to worry, the training method that you followed for three years had made it capable of having one more contract, you are very lucky that this lizard is here, he will be a great addition to our arsenal'

Asura said. To him this Dragon was just another weapon for Zio to use to become stronger, form now on Asura only cares about his and Zio's interest, to him even this world doesn't matter, he has already seen everything and this world doesn't have anything that would make him do anything for it.

With the Dragon agreeing to be Zio's secondary Religan, he knows that he is going to suffer a little but it was the risk he is willing to take, if this monster chose this boy to become his partner, the Dragon knows he can benefit a little from it and maybe grow stronger.

To magical beasts their body didn't mean anything to them, they only needed their soul to survive, if they soul gets fed with the energy they will be able to live forever, abandoning a body and becoming a weapon to a human is one of the best decision that a beast can make but they still have to find a good host.

If their host is not worthy of them, they won't be able to provide all the energy a magical beast's soul needs to grow stronger. That is why strong magical beasts search for a strong human host.

The Dragon soon started to speak in a weird language that Zio couldn't understand but he stayed silent, soon the Dragon's speech turned to normal.

"I the Dragon of the great tempest bloodline, hear by taking this human child as my partner and become his Religan till the day he dies"

With these words, the Dragon's body started to glow and then turn into glowing blue dust, soon the whole body of the Dragon disappeared and the only thing remaining in the air is the glowing stardust, Zio watched this whole phenomenon with his eyes wide open, this was one of the most beautiful things he has ever seen.

The blue stardust started to spin around in the air forming a massive tornado, the power it released was crushing causing every magical beast in the mountain to cower in fear and lay down on their belly.

The blue stardust then shot towards Zio, it went right through his eyes, nose, and mouth, Zio's body started to glow blue all of a sudden.

Zio went on his knees again as the pain was tremendous, Asura suddenly started to glow as well as black light covered Zio's body and tried to help him, soon the blue light got isolated in both Zio's both right and left hands as they started to form a pattern.

On his left hand formed the head of the Dragon with its whole body, while on his right-hand swirly patterns were formed as if they were depicting the wind.

The glowing stopped and the mark was formed, blue tattoos appeared on Zio's both hands, his tan hands are now covered with blue tattoos of a dragon and wind.

Zio opened his eyes and looked around to see if anything changed or not, as he looked at his hands he noticed the blue patters on his hand and he is surprised to see them as this is the first time he is seeing one of these, he hasn't even seen the round circle on his back, he is completely unaware of it.

"What are these?"

He asked Asura.

"This is a ruin mark that is formed when forming a contract with a magical beast, this mark helps you summon your Religan and also help you channel all that power inside your body"

Asura gave a quick explanation.

"Then what about you, I don't see your mark's anywhere?"

Zio asked.

"It's on your back, a circle"

Asura.

"A circle? what is that for, are you round in person?"

Zio asked.

"You will understand when you grow stronger"

Asura said.

"So where is the Dragon? Where is the Religan?"

Zio asked.

"You will find it inside your soul, close your eyes and try to feel the energy inside your body, you will be able to find it yourself"

Listening to Asura Zio did as he said and he soon found himself inside a weird place, it was not his physical body but his conscious state, he looked around and saw a ball which was glowing blue, Zio approached it and noticed the Dragon right inside the ball looking at Zio.

"Wo, I found him"

Zio thought.

"Good looks like everything went well"

Asura's voice was heard.

"By the way, why can't I see you?"

Zio asked as he could see nothing but the dragon's soul here.

"Look behind him"

Asura said.

Zio looked behind the blue glowing ball but he still saw that everything is pitch black.

"Where?"

He asked again, confused.

"I am very big, lift your head up"

Asura said and Zio lifted his head and that is when he saw it, he was standing in front of a massive black glowing ball, it was not that this place was black but Asura's light made it look black, this place that he is in is actually while and Zio can see a few white spots that are not affected by Asura's dark light.

"Now try to form a connection with the Lizard and he will come out in the form of a Religan, picture him into a weapon that would you would use"

Zio nodded and connected with the blue glowing soul through his consciousness, as soon as he did this, he felt the connection between him and the Dragon strengthen and suddenly Zio felt something in his left hand.

Zio opened his eyes and he is back to the real world but with him came out his new Religan as well, a shining blue bow, Zio looked at the bow is awe as it was very fancy, compared to Asura who looks very plain and boring, this bow looks like it was made by the best craftsman in the world.
