The bears were now immobile. Each of them had shadows needless to say due to the moonlight.
And in each shadow, a pair of red eyes could be seen. It was as if they were glaring at the Bears.
Since Siara and Shin were the only ones that made no noise, they were perfectly fine. But the Bears, who were the source of the Chaos, were immobile and were the ones targetted by the Dragon.
All of a sudden the shadows started to move. From the shadows, large creatures which looked like Centipedes appeared which wrapped the bears so tightly that their body burst within a minute.
Another round of Blood-fountain could be seen. Within a minute, all the bears were killed.
The Bear King did last for a minute more than the others, but that was no good since he too ended up getting killed in the end.
Of course, the Bear King's body was stronger so his body didn't burst. The Shadow Dragon was intrigued by this and slashed its body with its claws.
One slash and the Bear King was dead. In a moment, the chaos turned to silence and the silence prevailed!
The Bears couldn't move their mouths and thus were unable to scream. It would have pained a lot but oh well, they were dead now.
The marks of legs of the centipede-like monsters were left on the bodies of the Greater Bears who survived the wrapping but couldn't make it out alive. Their hearts stopped before their bodies could burst.
"Hmm, now it's peaceful."
"Now, please continue...", the dragon turned its neck back towards Shin while asking him to sing the Hymn or song.
Well, Shin's eyeballs were shaking vigorously because he witnessed the terrifying power of a dragon, a mid-tier one at that!
Saira had already fainted after seeing that. She was utterly terrified with Shin's Half-Dragon form but more than that, she was traumatized by the ruthless way in which the Shadow Dragon killed all the bears.
Of course, she had the misconception that the Shadow Dragon was Shin's slave or Servent or Familiar due to which Shin became the source of her fear.
All the so-called Kids of the Shadow dragon vanished right after they killed them. Therefore, only Siara, Shin, and the Shadow Dragon were present there.
Shin was forced to sing the Hymn again which the Shadow Dragon listened patiently and calmly.
For humans, beasts, or any other monsters, the song would be utterly disgusting, that might be the case for other dragons too, but for the Shadow dragon, it was the best song it had ever heard.
Well, dragons are one of those species which enjoy songs or hymns. Indeed, different dragons would have different hymns which they would like. Thus, the Shadow dragon loved this one and responded to Shin.
The song ended soon but the dragon continued to ask Shin to sing again. Finally, after ten times, the dragon stopped asking.
"I enjoyed it thoroughly, thank you for singing for me...", the dragon said in a low but dominant voice.
"I, the Shadow Dragon Argant, am really grateful for such a wonderful song!"
Well, the rarest thing in the world is probably seeing a dragon thanking someone.
'I wonder what's the use of this skill?'
'It did allow me to summon the dragon but was it only to sing a song for it?', Shin wondered.
If the Bears wouldn't have moved or caused chaos, then the dragon wouldn't even give a sh*t about them. Therefore, Shin wondered and questioned the usefulness of the skill when suddenly he found the answer for it.
"It was good boy, come here, let's form a pact!", the dragon said.
"P-pact?", Shin was surprised when he heard that.
"Yes.", the dragon smiled.
It was now no longer using magic to speak, it was genuinely moving its mouth and speaking but Shin didn't notice the change.
"What's a pact?", Shin wanted to ask the question to the system and knew that it would answer, but he wanted to build his relationship with the dragon and the best way for that was to converse with it more!
"You don't know what a pact is?", the dragon was a bit surprised when he heard Shin's question.
The reason for it was simple, all the beasts had at least some knowledge about it and so should Shin, but the Dragon wasn't aware of Shin's origins, well he was a human from a different world after all.
Also, he was a pup! How could a pup know about those things?
Well, right now Shin was in his Half-Dragon form which was much larger and seemed to be at least as old as 6-7 years so the dragon didn't question his age.
"A pact is a bond formed between agreed individuals..."
"It allows one to keep track of the other and help when in need.", the Shadow dragon said.
"Hmm, so it's like a contract?", Shin asked.
By contract, Shin referred to what one does on Earth. A bond paper is made and the contract is signed based on which one must do work and earn or redeem the benefits.
In this world, the same meaning stood so the dragon denied it almost immediately.
"No, a contract is made only when one seeks to get benefits."
"But a pact is made on friendship!"
Shin was surprised by what the dragon said. In the end, he understood that the dragon wanted to be his friend.
Who would let go of such an amazing opportunity? Well, some might, thinking that this might have been a trap?
But Shin didn't. He readily accepted to form the pact.
"Yes, let's form a pact!", Shin replied with eagerness.
"Alright." right after saying this, the dragon close its eyes.
Suddenly a massive amount of energy started to get generated and a symbol appeared in the mid-air. The symbol somewhat resembled a dragon. It was completely black with a purple tint.
"Now, put a drop of your blood on the magic circle near you...", the dragon said after opening its eyes.
"Magic circle?"
"Huh?"
Shin realized that a magic circle was just near him, well, in front of him. He bit his leg a bit and put a drop of blood on the black magic circle right after which a similar symbol appeared in front of him.
Well, to be precise, it was a bit different. While the symbol in front of the dragon was black with a dragon face-shaped mark, Shin's was white colored with a wolf face mark!
The symbols then started to near each of them. The white symbol collided with the shadow dragon while the black symbol collided with Shin.
Suddenly a large flash of light got emitted from both of their heads where the magic circles collided with the respective colors, white on the dragon and black on Shin.
the light lasted for a minute right after which both of them stared at each other with relief.
"Alright! It's complete!", the dragon said while breaking the uncanny silence.
"I will return to my domain now, if you are in need of me, summon me anytime and I will help you!", the dragon said with calm eyes devoid of rage or fierceness.
"I sure will, of course, I will help you too when you are in need.", Shin replied.
"Haha, I hardly doubt that it will ever happen.", after saying this the Shadow dragon vanished inside a circle which he formed.
"Sigh..."
"Finally it's over..."
After that Shin healed Siara. Needless to say, he dragged her to the nearby stream right after which Kira and the rest of the gang appeared and so the story continued.
And Siara finished narrating. Although she didn't know the entire truth, she told what she saw and the reason why she feared Shin.
To be continued...
