Chapter 79: Which one?
The dragon.
Celes wanted to see the woman that had significantly impacted her new life. For a whole month, Leon had been a different and pitiful person, so she also felt like beating the shit out of this girl. But the vampiress' curiosity was also high, for she couldn't imagine Leon's next move.
Her master had quite a complicated mindset for his power and principles.
Leon took out a card, then looked at the description of the blue dragon.
[Alexandra Aquarisen(Legendary) Lv. 58 HP: 65125/65125 MP: 50666/50666]
[Your feelings have influenced Alexandra Aquarisen's development paths.]
Leon's class revealed every common and sensitive information about the blue dragon known as the Blue Thanatos. Her short temperament, thirst for blood and violence, love for inflicting fears in inferior races, her fear, too, favorite food, erogenous zones, and more all had entered Leon's mind.
He had never done that to Louise and Celes. He had never seen through them through this one-sided skill.
But for Blue Thanatos, Leon gladly learned about her and her cruelty. She had taken away Louise from him, which hurt Celes in the process, and made him halt his process for a month as he fell to another breakdown.
Therefore, Leon didn't feel bad for taking something away from her.
[You have summoned Blue Thanatos, Alexandra Aquarisen.]
The blue dragon appeared in the room, nude. Not only Alexandra never wore any clothes, but Leon also utterly defeated her, so she couldn't control her blue scales. In her natural form, Alexandra only had her scales going down her arms and legs, adorning her limbs and leaving her breasts and nether region to fend for themselves.
She had unconsciously displayed them to Leon's view, showcasing her beauty.
But beauty was subjective and often impacted by feelings and mood. Though a gorgeous woman with unique wild dragon beauty, Leon found nothing pretty about her, glowering at her as though blood trickled down her face, went and split on her bountiful chest, and slipped inside her thick thigh valley.
"Your freedom." Leon's voice woke Alexandra up from her stupor as she had been going through the memories of his battle against him. "I've taken your freedom, life, and will. Couldn't care less about your ambitions, goals, purpose of your life, or anything else — you're going to level up alongside me and take the brunt of my hardships. No one other than me is your master."
Those words escaped his mouth so easily that Leon inwardly had been too surprised about himself. Bemused, he hid those feelings and continued with his speech.
Of course, Alexandra opened her mouth to growl back at him, but Leon easily shut those cherry lips. "You fear me."
"I-" Alexandra's violet eyes trembled, recalling the vision she'd seen after deeply looking into Leon's heart.
That picture of five humans standing abreast, with each of them having her ancestors' blood on their hands, surrounded by the dead bodies of the dragon race, had drawn itself again in her mind. Alexandra's blood turned colder, freezing, for fear of her ancestors wedged her veins.
Now that she had become a slave to this man, whose origins had been related to those five humans, Alexandra didn't feel any fury but what her ancestors felt.
She couldn't muster any strength to roar, shivering.
"And you fear the past. I order you to shut up and listen… Eons ago, dragons were simply known as dragons. No dragon had ever been called [The Fire Dragon], for example. That's because the dragons could turn themselves into every natural element they wanted, wielding the greatest adaptation known to the world." Leon's words quickened Alexandra's breathing, her big chest heaving. "Five Humans that wielded powers closest to the gods snatched that privilege, starting the new generation. Dragons couldn't switch elements and were banished to the spirit realm. Humans born after that incident could practice and turn into anything they wanted."
Humanity didn't possess the perfect adaptation, though.
Unlike the past dragons, they couldn't become masters at every element. Some excelled in two elements while being below average in the rest. Of course, it didn't mean that they couldn't practice it and accept the bloodline of other races, but it didn't take a genius to see how counter-productive it was.
Nonetheless, the feat of those five human ancestors pushed humans into new, more exciting times.
"I understand that you dragons hate us. You might even detest me to the bone, even though I haven't done anything wrong to your race." Leon came closer to the blue-haired woman and squatted, looking into her eyes. "I don't care about dragons, nor I'm an advocate of mindless killing. So it's not about dragons and humans anymore… It's about us."
Every dragon can sense the shame of their race within humans with a peak humanity body.
Leon didn't want that past to overwrite what he'd done to this woman. The way he fought against her had left wounds on her body and soul, even though she had none of these on her curves now. But if she kept thinking about the past and Leon's identity, Louise's sacrifice would matter less and less until it became utterly insignificant.
And why did Leon even bother with these thoughts? "I'll make you sign a contract. You have three paths ahead of you — all connected to me. First, I will turn you into a mindless machine that will heed my every order, not questioning anything I say."
It was terrible, for such tools had no chance of progressing, and because of their unshakable but fake loyalty, they tended to make more mistakes.
"Second, I will change your personality by expanding the fake loyalty. I'll do it cruelly so that you'll be aware of your changes, then that new self will end up killing you." Leon secretly didn't like it, for he'd always know the real owner of that dragon's body.
It was related to him not liking his class.
"Third, I'll turn you into a pet. You'll become a mini dragon, unable to take a human form unless I allow you. In this form, you will listen to my orders, having your mind intact, but with just a few changes. I'll never allow you to attack people dear to me and me. You'll receive a shock whenever you think of doing anything harmful to us. You'll never be able to leave my side, too, like a guardian pet or something."
It was a choice Leon preferred for many reasons.
"Which one?" Leon allowed the blue dragon to speak and took away her chains.
Having back her freedom, Alexandra's heart erupted like a volcano. "To hell with your paths!"
She jumped and cleft at Leon, only to get her wrist seized by his chains. He was much faster and more prepared to deal with her - and it showed.
Leon yanked the crimson chains, pulling the dragon to his side. Leon punched her face when she flew to his side, sending her back to where she'd come from. But before her ass hit the ground, the chains screeched, and Leon brought her to himself again, hitting her stomach.
He threw a few more punches onto Alexandra's body, then grasped her blue hair, glaring into her eyes. "Your victims didn't have any chance of returning, you know? You would've died in my sun if it weren't for my powers. I'm already too lenient on you, but that's because that split spirit realm was one of two life-threatening events in my new life.
"You're lucky I'm a newbie: I haven't developed a cruel side to deal with pieces of shit like you." His voice grated her ears, slipping inside her chest and threatening her heart.
She hadn't thought about it, but Leon was indeed a newbie. She had been beaten by a man without too much experience… But how exactly? How did he adapt so fast? Surely, it couldn't be just a peak humanity body… On this level, no one should be able to attack both body and soul in such a precise manner.
This man had more than just a peak humanity's body… The dragon couldn't see through Leon's gifts and path.
Alexandra then once again heard the question.
"Which one?" Leon grasped her blue streaks tighter, nearly pulling them off.
It'd be a pity to lose her long and lustrous hair, but Alexandra knew he didn't care about her looks.
Hearing his harsher tone, Alexandra could only answer him.
