Chapter 953 A Picnic With A Giant Dragon
-----
Before having a picnic, we moved to the top of the volcano, where we found where the Crimson Dragon was resting. He was very huge and beautiful, so I wanted everyone to meet him.
"Hey! Crimson Dragon! Are you there?" I asked.
RUMBLE!
SPLAAASH!
"Uwaah!" Mist cried in surprise as she saw the lava splattering everywhere.
"Aquarina!" I called.
"Sure!" Aquarina nodded, conjuring barriers made of water around everyone except me, the lava that hit the barrier instantly turned into black pebbles.
Meanwhile, I was immune to it so it didn't matter that much.
"GRRRHHH…"
The enormous figure of the Crimson Dragon appeared, overflowing with the strength of a Tier 7 Monster… plus some more.
Because he was the Boss Monster, he gets a bonus to his strength and magic power, so he might as well be as strong as Tier 8 Monster.
"I-It's huge!" Lara laughed. "Oh! So this is where the Spirits come from?! So many fire and dragon spirits coming out of his body… He's like a spirit sanctuary!"
"Spirits are being born out of his body?!" I asked in surprise. "Now that's… something new!"
[The [Dungeon System] explains that, as they said beforehand, Dungeon Bosses are pillars to the ecosystem of this World Dungeon you're creating, therefore, they exude so much elemental power that spirits are instantly born from them.]
"I see…"
It was truly incredible how important they were; I can't believe I ever considered killing him for his heart…
"It sure is big! But I remember that Agni was larger, no?" Wondered Aquarina. "Still, this guy's amazing! And he's your tamed pet too? Even more crazy!"
"I don't like the term pet… He's a friend!" I said with a giggle. "Right big guy?" I caressed his huge snout, as he groaned and licked my entire body.
"Gruooh." He said.
"H-He looks really tame… But I wonder if he'll bite us if we get closer?" Zack wondered.
"I want to pet him!" Mist was decided.
"Me too!" Zephy said. "Can I pet him, big sis?"
"Yeah, sure, everyone can come and pet him!" I laughed. "Behave, alright? Be gentle with everyone."
"Grrrhhh…" The Dragon gave them a grumpy side-eye to everyone but lowered his head for everyone to pet him regardless.
"Ouch! He's really hot, I burnt my hand!" Zack cried.
"Cover yourselves on the veil so you can pet him." Aquarina said, conjuring the spells I had used beforehand on everyone. "Like this, see?"
"Oooh, much better!" Said Mist. "He's rough like a stone though…"
"There, there, good boy." Zack smiled.
"Hehhee, big dragon!" Zephy giggled.
"Big indeed!" Celica said. "One day I'll make a big dragon golem of this big, gigantic size!"
"Oooh! I bet it's gonna be very strong and awesome!" Zephyrus said, trying to praise his crush.
"Hehehe, really? I'll do my best to surprise you with it then, Zephyrus!" Celica giggled.
He's quite good with words. I think dad gave him some tips here and there…but isn't he too young to be thinking about that? I'll have to reprimand my dad later.
"He sure is nice." Celeste laughed. "You're practically a goddess at this point, with all this crazy dungeon you got… honestly, what is there you can't do?"
"Well, I think you're exaggerating, there are so many things I can't do I often feel frustrated…" I said. "But yeah, I guess it's pretty crazy…"
"GRRRHH…" The Crimson Dragon glared at Celeste angrily for making me think about things a bit too deeply.
"Eeek!" Celeste stepped back.
"Calm down, she's a friend. Don't be grumpy." I said, petting his head. "Have you been nice with the other dragons too?"
"GRRRHH…" He seemed to not have been nice.
"You're a King, so you've gotta be strong and rule too but… Don't be tyrannical, okay?" I asked him, his crimson eyes glaring into my own.
"Grrrhh…" He rubbed his snout on my face.
I don't know if that really got into him or not…
"Anyways, let's have a picnic in here! He'll watch out for us." I smiled. "Can you stay?"
"GRRH!" The Crimson Dragon nodded, sitting down, and glancing through the mountain into the landscape, a true King indeed.
I quickly took everything out and set up a big picnic. We had to make a special bubble so the heat wouldn't burn everything easily though, but eventually we sat down to enjoy several meals, some I prepared myself and others my mom gave to me.
"So what did you wanted to talk about, Sylphy?" Asked Aquarina curiously.
"Oh well, it was about what I talked with mom and dad… We'll be going on a trip back to our original home back in Cloudia!" I said happily. "Of course, we won't stay there forever, but we might stay for a week or two. So… Do you guys want to come? We'll explore farther into the area I once explored too!"
"W-Wait, what?! Cloudia? You mean the floating continent Cloudia?! The one made by the Gods?!" Zack gasped, opening his mouth wide.
"Yeah, it will be our last big adventure before we depart into our own paths to see each other later!" I smiled. "We'll be going in a month from now, because we need a lot more preparations if we're going on a big group. Mom and dad considered contracting an Airship too."
"A-Amazing, sure! I wanna go! I wanna go!" Mist said. "There's no way I'm missing this opportunity!"
"Me too!" Lara said happily. "I bet there's tons of big spirits there!"
"You only care about Spirits?" Asked Luck, slightly tired. "But yeah, I want to explore that place."
"Of course I don't care about just spirits, I'm just curious. I want to explore its beautiful wilderness with my friends." Lara smiled back at Luck, making him embarrassed.
"Count me on!" Celica said.
"Me too, why not?" Celeste giggled.
"I also am going too!" Zephy said.
"Of course you're going Zephy, you're my brother!" I laughed.
"I don't think you need to even ask me." Aquarina said, smiling. "We made a lot of memories there, didn't we? I bet it's going to be a lot of nostalgia… especially for you."
"Yeah… I also want to meet an old friend I left behind too." I sighed.
Yggdra…
