Chapter 950 A Request To The Dragon King
-----
The Dragon King was pissed off I interrupted his nap, but by dropping Ignatius name, he quickly calmed down and started to think about his son.
"I see, so you want to find a Heart of one of my deceased children to help him evolve into something stronger?" He wondered. "Sigh… So pathetic, why do Spirits need such frivolities to grow stronger? You should had let him dead!"
"Well, I feel bad about what happened to him, even though he was the one that walked into a tiger's den back then and all… So I want to make up for it and help him become the strongest dragon!" I said.
"The strongest you say?!" He asked, rising one of his scaly, hairless eyebrows. "Heh, a half-elf helping a dragon become the strongest?! Heh, HAHAHAHAHAA!"
He started to laugh loudly, making my soul tremble with his mere loud voice.
"You're interesting! I did well in blessing you, brat!" He laughed. "You kind of remind me of someone from eons ago…"
"Someone?" I asked.
"Yes, someone that once used to be my partner. When I was their familiar." The Dragon King sighed. "Alas, he died long ago…"
"I'm sorry to hear about that…" I commented.
"Hmph! I don't need your sympathy!" He laughed. "Also, you want that dead brat to become stronger than me? I like how ridiculous you are! As if! Well, if you really want a damn heart, I'll tell you where there is one, and it's right inside your grassy continent!"
"Really?!" I asked happily.
"Look for the "Black Dragon Mountain" within the southeast of where you're living. A land filled with snow and with constant blizzards… If you follow the crimson path, you will find it." He smiled. "Now leave me alone!" He roared furiously.
"S-Sorry! And thank you very much!" I quickly pulled back.
FLAAASH!
I opened my eyes once more within my Dungeon, gasping for air… My soul hurt a bit. I think that if I hadn't developed a Psyche, I would had taken a strong blow.
He wasn't even attacking me, just speaking soul to soul, and it was already painful! Just how strong is he?!
Well, he did mention… exchanging blows with the original Demon King. Yeah, the one that made up the whole Demon Continent? That one.
"Sylphy!" Alice appeared at my side. "I can't believe you actually did it…"
"Y-You talked with my almighty father?!" Ignatius asked. "Not even I dare do that so boldly!"
"He's nicer than you think." I said in relief. "Though, very grumpy at the same time… Anyways, I got some clues about where it could be, where there are snowy mountains, on a black dragon mountain, following the crimson path… that's all he said."
"He even cooperated?!" Beelzebub was surprised.
"A-Amazing…" Ignatius said. "Maybe father still cares about me…"
"Well, that clue is more than enough!" Alice nodded. "I'll simply memorize it within my database because I know your memory is a bit clunky, especially because you do so many things every day, you forget others."
"Hey! I… Well, you're right." I agreed for once.
Ding!
[Your Dungeon EXP has increased by +50000 for placing three C Rank Facilities.]
[The many Facilities in your Dungeon are increasing the amount of Dungeon Energy produced naturally!]
[You gained +32 Dungeon Energy.]
[You gained +22 Dungeon Energy.]
[You gained +17 Dungeon Energy.]
[…]
And right as I was back to the Dungeon, new notifications popped up. It seems that I was slightly rewarded for expanding it with a nice amount of bonus EXP.
I still need around… 130k more EXP for the Dungeon to Level Up… It can gain EXP over time slowly too, but I still think I can fit some new things in this landscape.
"Anyways, I guess we could begin collecting some scales and ores that are growing here for now." I said. "Later, I'll come here to bring things to add, and monsters as well. Alright everyone! Come and help me out! Furoh, you too! Glutton, Violet, even Curse!"
"BARF! BAARF!" Glutton was happy.
"Guu…?" Violet seemed confused.
"Eh? Why should I help you on carrying things?" Curse seemed unwilling…
But I forced them to help anyways, and like that, we began exploring the vast landscape, picking up ores I found, and then moving to meet the dragons, the Crimson Dragon was my target.
He was gentler than I imagined, and once I called for him, he licked my face with a titanic tongue… Leaving me covered on drool.
"I've heard even the drool of a Crimson Dragon is costly, so I'll collect that…" I giggled, collecting it. "Can you give me some scales, fangs, claws, and… blood?"
"GRRRHHH…" The Crimson Dragon, of over forty meters of height, seemed to nod, quickly beginning to scratch its tail, and letting out hundreds of huge scales, piling the up.
After that, he regrew new claws and fangs, letting the old ones fall into the ground too! Wow, that was easier than I imagined.
And then, it cut through its front arm and began bleeding a beautiful red blood from within.
"Okay, I'll collect it! Wait a bit!" I took out as many bottles as I had, filling over twenty of them! Now that was a lot of blood!
"T-Thanks a lot! I'll heal the wound for you." I healed his wound, as he seemed rather sleepy, moving back to the depths of the active volcano to take a nap.
He was unexpectedly very cute, there's no way I can kill him now!
"Well, with this we should have covered every material necessary except the Dragon Heart!" I celebrated.
"Nice!" Ignatius was happy. "Now we should go find that heart and-"
"Nah,?let's go back home, I'm so sleepy…"
"Ah…"
Today was quite the long day, so I quickly walked out of my dungeon and stepped directly into my bed, the fluffiness of it made me feel like I was in heaven.
After such a long day, there's nothing better than sleeping on a comfortable and cold bed, especially after being stuck for hours inside a very hot place…
