Day 5 ~ Dracul Pov (1st) ~

The two of us went towards a green crystal further down the corridor. From nearby, Blossom made her re-appearance by climbing up from the floor below.

"Still alive, Blossom," I said to the faun.

"Nice to be alive, boss!" She cheerfully replied to me.

And she is a jumpy one. You know I want to a harem, but the bouncy thicc girl in front of me doesn't affect me at all...

Dear God, does that mean I'm asexual?!

"A Spirit Crystal!" Rumi gaped, breaking me away from that horrifying thought.

"It looks different from the gem from before? Is it good, Rumi? " Blossom asked.

"Why yes! Spirit Crystal's are highly valuable and are used by dragons to bolster their power and abilities," Rumi explained.

"Huh, that explains why I'm drawn to it," I muttered. "But how will this help me?"

I'm half dinosaur, so I have no idea if that thing will work on me.

"You will see," Rumi said. "Now, lets us do this, and then we rescue the goblins from the cells."

Blossom beamed, gladdened about the news.

I walked over to Rumi near the crystal.

Rumi then proceeded to place one of her paws on the crystal's surface.

I do the same.

The crystal then started to glow, and a sequence of green shards started to float all around it. We all looked at them in awe as they saw a projection of the Old dragon with a beard amongst the light.

"I have soooo many questions!" Blossom thundered.

Wow, did evolving made her peppy and loud. Or was she always like that?

The light then speaks to us.

"Rumi. I, the Dragon Oracle here to awaken your abilities. While most dragons can awaken one or two attributes. Due to your exposure to this young man has gifted you abilities most uncommon. Gehenna, Artic, Photon, & Sliver."

Rumi doesn't speak. She is still in awe.

"Nice elements Rumi" I congratulated the elegant dragoness.

"As for you, young man. You already awaken your attributes. So I grant you the move, Kaiser Nails. An energy shot-type move uses the attributes of the wielder."

That's nice of him.

"Young lady. As a subordinate of that man over has granted you. Dragonborn blood. Which allows its users to transform the physiology of their body into those of a dragon. As a result of this, those with Dragonborn blood are able to change their body to their own element in both offensive and defensive styles. You young lady have been granted a unique element of Flora and Wind. Flora Wind. Able to control plant life and have healing and Supplementary spells.

The light stops.

Maybe that will calm Rumi down.

The chill of ice trapping my legs made me toss that hope onto the mountain of other things that were too good to be true.

"My partner? What are you? What are my attributes? By the way, I'm keeping you, and you're going to have to get a lot stronger before you think about touching me." She said in a tone that promised pain and death if I didn't answer her.

"I'm a dragon...ish. But, um, I think there are fusion attributes... And what the heck are you talking about?"

"As of now, I will take responsibility. You will be an honest dragon yet. Disappoint me more than three times, and I will kill you myself!"

Rumi walks away, leaving me confused.

"What was that about?" I asked rhetorically

Rumi's tail pulled me before anyone could answer me.

(-3rd-)

As the trio fought off several groups of apes and their slave minions. They soon find the Catacomb Prison. They stepped through the entrance; they looked around cautiously; there was no sign of anyone about. Even so, there was no guarantee that it was deserted. They entered the fortress slowly in a tight formation. Weapons stands littered the yard here and there, and a catapult stood nearby, already armed with a lava boulder to launch. There were also several oddly shaped blocks of crystals. Each of them looked like bipedal creatures. Blossom walked up to one of them curiously and suddenly started back in fright.

"What is it, Blossom?" Rumi asked.

"That thing just blinked at me," Blossom said, sounding scared.

"You must have imagined it. Just keep walking," Rumi encouraged. Too late! The ice suddenly burst off the figure, revealing a rotting figure with sickly green skin, glowing green eyes, and wearing black and red armor. It was brandishing an ax and a shield. The next moment, the others nearby began breaking open, revealing identical-looking creatures.

"Wonderful!!" Blossom shrieked sarcastically.

"Are those zombies?!" Dracul said.

"Yes!" Rumi said, getting ready to fight. "Dead Trolls, likely reanimated by black magic, to attack anyone who gets too close!"

The Dead Trolls roared as they swung their weapons, making the group jump back. As soon as he landed, Rumi and Dracul breathed out a jet of flames. The Trolls groaned in pain as Blossom swatted their skulls in. Then they heard cries of Apes.

"Looks like we have more company…" Dracul said. He sees these apes are F-rank. "Hah, I ain't about to lose to that."

Draco Apes wearing black armor came running towards them, howling and shrieking in an ugly mash of war cries.

"Look, there are the two dragons! They even a sex slave for us," cried one of them.

"Let's get 'em and claim the reward!" said another.

""O strengthen of arm to split the Terra! Arms!"

Blossom surrounds Rumi and Dracul with a quavering aura, strengthening their offensive power for a limited time.

"Oh, yeah! That's better. That's really much better!!" Dracul laughs.

Eyeing his tail. "Allow me, girls."

Dracul readied his tail and took aim at one of the Apes and fired. It hit through three apes and hit the last Ape in the arm, and he screamed in pain.

He smirked. "Ooh... you should get some ice on that."

"I didn't know you could shoot your feathers like that."

"Get them!" One of the apes shouted as the one with the feather dagger on him groaned in pain.

"Get it out of me!" he wailed pitifully.

Another soldier yanked the arrow free from his arm. The wounded one tried to stand, but they had no time to recover as Rumi and Dracul breathed their chosen fire at them. The Apes howled in pain. Some rolled in the ground to smother the flames, only for Rumi to cut them in half with her tail. Dracul took advantage of the apes' disarray and fired three more feather daggers. The first hit an Ape in the head, the second in the throat, and the last in a third Ape's groan. They all collapsed.

Soon only one was left.

Grabbing the mook. Dracul demanded where the Prisoners were.

"Now you got about five seconds to tell me where the prisoners are at!" Dracul asked 'nicely.'

"Fuck you, stupid dragon! You will never make it out of here alive!" the Ape croaked. Defiance blazed in his eyes.

Only to regret those words later when he felt an overwhelming fear of killing intent.

"It's easy to talk big when you still got all your teeth." The dino-dragon hybrid hissed.

The ape told them the prisoners were down in the lower levels.

Dracul thanks him by absorbing his blood through his tail.

"Let go down, guys." Dracul takes charge.

Rumi smiles at this. But quickly makes it goes away.

"Good, I need more men to kill," Rumi said seriously.

Her teammates killed the mood.

"Look at the pretty butterfly!" Blossom exclaimed happily with her arms extended to capture the lava butterfly. "Look at how sparkly and pinkish-red it is! Maybe it's a fairy! OH! I always wanted to catch a fairy! Yay, a new friend!"

"Woman! That's not a fairy! Get back here now!" Dracul ordered her.

"Ok, boss!"

Going down the evaluator, the trio begins to talk.

"We about to face a lot of bad guys! Ohhh! I want to bash them all in the face!" Blossom proudly announced with a bloodthirsty sunny smile."

"Is that bad?" Dracul asked. Not sure if asking about the many enemies or Blossom's new love for breaking people's faces.

"Dracul, we're locked inside an enemy prison, surrounded by countless Apes bent on our destruction. With Blossom on a bloody rampage." Rumi answered.

"So it's bad."

"It's purely a matter of perspective," The dragoness reassured her, clueless about their marriage husband.

An explosion rocked the door as soon as the evaluator reached the bottom. "Blossom free the prisoners while Rumi and I kill these mooks!"

Inside the prison, the walls were metal, lined with manga. Each one was filled with poor souls of various species.

"Okay!" Blossom stated as she ran to the cages.

"Holy shit, we are being freed!" One dinosaur said.

She unlocked the doors to the other cells, allowing the other prisoners to step out. Many of them were young dragons and dinosaurs, each of them looking very skinny.

"Thank you, faun…" one of the Dinosaurs said.

"Bless you for saving us…." A fire drake said.

"Sister, is that you?!"

"Toxic Claws!" Dracul yelled as he jumped, flipped, and twirled my body, dodging the arrows.

"How does something that big move like a monkey!?" One of the apes asked in shock.

"Like this!" Dracul said, grabbing the ape that said and choke slammed him into the ground.

They have been sending everyone after the dragons. The falling rocks have been a bitch to dodge.

So far, Dracul got more damage from the falling debris than any of these weak things.

Rumi has been slicing and dicing everything with her tail.

"We something big coming!" Dracul shouted, picking up movement that was rushing towards them.

An armored monster busted the door down. Both Rumi and Dracul think this is the Warden. He stood at a towering nine feet tall, with two magma horns protruded above his helmeted head. In his gauntleted hands, he carried a magma Sword and magma Shield. Two blazing yellow eyes were all that was visible on his face.

"You dare"

Dracul cut him off with a Poison flamethrower causing him to stagger. It didn't do much, but that was what he hadn't intended to. This was merely a distraction while Rumi fired blue fireballs. These blows left cracks in the Prison Wardens armor, but he remained standing.

"Impressive!" he growled. "But it'll take more than that to stop me!"

And he surrounded himself in a fiery force field, which absorbs a shot of fire from Rumi. Then, the Warden spent rocks shards flying in all directions.

"You have taken 36 damage! One of your bones is cracked!" Dashi informed Dracul in his mind.

"Fuck!" He shouted as the rock shard hit me in the leg. The Warden laughed maniacally.

"Fools, you cannot defeat me; I am the Warden of this here place! No one stands before me. Only my master! Azantar! Can only order me."

But just as pull the shard out, I suddenly heard a wretched shriek that. It came from deep inside one of the cave tunnels. Without any hesitation, I bolted over to Rumi.

"Great more problems!" Dracul complained.

"I disagree, Marito. This is getting fun."

Has she gone crazy?!

"Are you sane!?" He asked.

Dracul's Moglie thinks for a moment, then holds up two pinched claws to say "a little."

Wonderful! Both his mother and now his Mogilie are sorta insane!!

Also, Dracul wonders what the hell is a Moglie?!

Something deep inside his croc-dragon brain refuses to call her anything else... except for her name... and partner sometimes.

She was now adopting a fighting stance, with a mad grin on her face.

"Zombie Trolls! Kill them! Every one of come out and kill them!"

"Can't we just run?"

As Dracul was cursing his bad luck, more eery hollows and shrieks surrounded them.

"Rumi, I'm going to get a profile," He says to the excited dragoness. "Dashi transfer all information about these guys to Rumi and Blossom are I do so. Also, what the fuck are you doing?!"

The dragonfly has been gone for a while.

"Done, and I'm getting a present for us. Camping monsters are very rare here."

One of the Dead Trolls came running at me.

"You have guts!" Dracul impaled him with my tail. "Do bad I have to go through them."

"[Smell Profiling has created a profile of "Dead TrollS"] and [Blood Profiling has created a profile of "Dead Trolls"]" Dashi voiced.

"Ok, based on profile. Dead trolls have frail legs. So they are vulnerable to fire attacks and neurotoxins of the Poison strand. I ate many poisonous plants and different poisoned water. so I let me doing something."

Exerting an immense amount of mental pressure. Dracul willed his neurotoxin of a BQX bug to Rumi's claws.

He'd watch in awe as her claws glow purple.

"I thought your attribute was fire?" Rumi asked, amazed while looking at her claws.

"RAH!" Dracul pushes his aura outward.

The purple hue of my aura using Intimidation. The aura turning into a shape of a skull.

"Creating antibodies! Get ready !" Dracul slashed lightly, giving her antibodies to his Poison network

Holding one of his paws out, he mentally commanded his poison to take shape.

Dracul gathers a ball of lethal poison around said paw.

"Poison boomerang!"

The boomerang slices through the Dead trolls like butter does a knife.

The hybrid throws three more at the Warden.

They hit their mark, stunning the Warden as he drops the sword as Rumi sees an opening and burns the Warden with her blue fireballs. This blew the shield out of the Warden's hand and left more cracks in his armor. Some bits fell off completely, showing bones underneath.

"I summon more trolls!" The Warden begins to raise his hand.

"Not this time! This is my kill!"

With a bloodthirsty smirk, Dracul watched in amazement as the Runi leaned her paw back and watched it become coated in swirling dark blue fire.

"Gehenna Infinite Iron Fist" Hitting the Warden square in the chest, she watched in glee as he saw The Warden go flying back into a wall cracking it.

The moment he hit the wall, his armor shattered, and the Death Troll underneath fell to the floor in pieces. The skull rolled across the floor.

He glowed purple color with bubbles coming of out it.

"Your poison has infected Warden Troll Ape."

"Hell yeah!" Dracul shouted and moved out of the way when more Dead trolls showed up.

Not hesitating, Dracul dodges the long reach of the ax. Willing his arms to move forward, he slashed upwards and penetrated his claws directly under its jaw, and kept it there.

"Bring up the stats on these things."

"Wow, these things make really good troops," Dracul mutters, thinking about enslaving these things.

Sensing more attacks, the male dragon keeps them off Rumi while she deals with the Warden.

At this point, Dracul stops trying to dodge and attacks and starts to cut them down.

"Don't use flames, Rumi, and the air is filled with Poison mist."

...

Dracul used Kaiser Nails to take five groups at a time.

The ten minutes was wrought with slaughter. Blood and viscera were scattered across the walls, the ground, hell, even the cell doors. While dismembered, disfigured, half-melted, charred bodies riddled the rock-filled ground.

The Warden died three minutes ago due to the poison.

Panting with deep and heaving breaths in exploding prison. Bathed in both blood and sweat, was Rumi and Dracul. Rumi was standing with a massive smile on her face. They were waterlogged, wounded, and wearied. Fought endless amounts of monsters and the stupid Warden, and for how precisely long, Dracul has no fucking clue.

All while dodging arrows slashes from swords, Magma spells, and explosions.

It was at this moment Dracul got his kill count for today.

[You have slain 222 Dead Trolls!]

[You have been rewarded with 10,534 points of EXP]

[Because of the effects of Title Skill [Momma's Boy]. Another 5,534 experience points were obtained.]

"Wow, after all that, my skills didn't even level up once? Also, my title was nerfed!?"

"6,173,414 more to go until you level up... By god, that is not fair at all!"

Dracul decided to check on Rumi's condition less he losses his temper again.

"Oh, thank god she is fine."

"Boss, I got everyone out. This new friend called Dashi found us a Camping monster! We will meet you there." Blossom yelled.

Dracul doesn't think Rumi can hear her, but he can.

"Rumi, we need to go. Dashi something called a 'Camping monster,' and we need to leave." He tries to get up. Dracul starts to flap his wings. He was suddenly pulled from his ascendance as he heard her faint and weak husky voice while she simultaneously started to warp her tail around him.

Why does she keep doing that?

"Dracul! I-I think something is w-wrong. My body feels hot and cold and windy, and I have this tingling feeling all over!!" She jumped Dracul. Landing firmly on top of him. "Hurry up, and let's go. Whats is going with me?"

"Guess I'm running?"

Dracul moves his tired body forward at high speeds.

"Don't worry. You're just about to evolve." Dracul said, trying to calm her down.

He has to hold back a moan when the girl wraps her tail around his.

"I"m evolving!" She said in shock. He jumps over a giant rock and makes sure to dodge the explosions that are closing in on them.

Your special connection with Rumi has reached a level threshold

[Due to the influence of your trait Limit Breaker, and the dragoness succinctly hitting well over the level threshold with an EXP inundation, four (epic) attributes, she has immediately granted an exceed evolution.]

[Do you accept the use of Limit Breaker for its evolution?]

[Yes/No]

"I can hear that voice too."

Soon they see a river now with air coming him.

Dracul jumps up and opens his wings and lets the wind glide them out...

Once outside, the couple gapes at what they are seeing. A gigantic quadruped, easily the size of a large island Rhino-Dragon thing. On its ts body is heavy and thick with leathery light-colored skin. However, most of the top half of its body is covered in heavy metallic armor, which is dark in color. It mainly covers most of its long tail, leg joints (which resemble pauldrons), and back.

There is also a fucking fortress on its back. The gigantic metal fortress has several buildings which are heavily armed with guns and mortars.

They land near one the base one the buildings.

"Before you can rest, you need to name this beast, dude! Quickly so it can get us out of here. Also, would you like to randomly assign names to prisoners you help freed? It will help"

"Warfang!" He said tiredly. "Sure" Dracul felt his words being a lot stronger for some reason. A desire that he wants to command Warfang.

"[Titles acquired: Dragon Commander: Lv] and [Titles acquired: Boss Croc: Lv]. You fulfill the requirements for Dragon King Candidate and Dino King Candidate." Dashi informed Dracul.

Soon a sense of hollowness- of the violent emptying of Dracul innards was mind-blowing.

"What... What's going on now?" Dracul says out loud. This was fatigue like none he'd felt before.

"Your body's remaining store of magic has gone below its acceptable threshold. Entering deep-sleep mode. Expected to fully recover in a week."

...

"Dracul, are you ok?" Rumi asked too before she passed out as well.
