Chapter 461 A Brand New Familiar!
Like this, he raised a whole clutch of eggs from there, and the weakest and smallest yet the most adventurous and brave of them all was Ignatius, whom Agni day after day troubled himself in raising due to all he little shenanigans that the dragon made.
I can see why he loves the little Ignatius so much; he has been his most protected one. And he raised him with lots of care so he could become decently strong to be recognized by their father. But at the end, when Ignatius heard about the Heroes finally ending the demon war, he thought they were a fitting challenge for someone like him and recklessly flew to the continent of Cloudia, meeting his end.
Knowing that his little brother died so gruesomely probably hurt him a lot… I can really feel his sadness and sorrow when he learned that.
When the visions ended, I found myself floating in the middle of the space of my soul scape, finding Agni in front of me.
"So you\'ve seen my memories, or part of them?" He asked.
"Yeah… Now I understand more about what has happened. It is quite sad… I am sorry for what my parents did to Ignatius. I was too young back then, I wasn\'t able to stop them. But if I could, I would had done it…" I sighed.
"Hmm… You\'re an honest girl. I can tell why you\'ve managed to tame my hyperactive and prideful little brother. He\'s quite the gremlin of a dragon, isn\'t he?" Laughed Agni.
"Hahaha, yeah, he\'s always getting angry and then getting happy over the most ridiculous of things. Sometimes I don\'t even know what to with him!" I laughed with him.
"Heh, you really do know him. I suppose his life might had ended there, but a new one started when he became your Spirit. I suppose… I can lend him to you. Make sure to take good care of my little brother, you hear me?" He asked.
"Yeah! I will!" I said.
"Hmm! I\'ve seen fragments of your own memories as well. This "System" power you possess is certainly a very intriguing magic… And you… you are not from this world?" He asked.
"Ah…. W-Well… Please don\'t tell my parents!" I asked.
"Don\'t worry, your secret will die with me." Said Agni. "But I find it quite intriguing, a soul from another world… You\'re certainly not the same as those disgusting True Demons, your previous life was that of a mere human at that… You\'re very interesting. If your soul was stronger, I might had considered a permanent contract, but for now, a temporary one will do!"
FLASH!
Suddenly, I felt Agni\'s soul and magic connect with me, as I felt an enormous flow of immense quantities of power flowing through my body and my soul. It felt as if all my capabilities were skyrocketing!
"A-Amazing, this power…!" I said in surprise.
"Take it all! Your power is also impressive. I\'ll take as much of that endless Mana you\'ve got!" Laughed Agni.
Like that, both of us opened our eyes. Not even a second happened outside but it felt like we talked for several minutes, getting to know one another better.
"It\'s done!" I said.
"S-Sylphy… your body!" Aquarina suddenly pointed out as I realized my body had temporarily changed a bit.
My skin turned tanned, and I was growing red scales over my arms and legs, and a bit over my neck. My eyes resembled those of reptiles, shining with bright golden light. My red hair had grown longer and blazed as if it were made of fire. And I even had a long dragon tail and tiny dragon horns over my forehead!
And… eh?! I\'ve got two small wings in my back?!
"W-Woah… What is this?!" I asked.
"Amazing!" Ninhursag pointed out. "Due to the contract with such an immensely strong dragon as Agni, Sylphy\'s Beast Aura has completely evolved to its latest stage, and you\'ve even unlocked Polymorph and Spirit Fusion… temporarily, of course."
"So that\'s why she changed?" Asked my mother. "I would had not know what to say if I knew she would remain like that forever…"
I looked at my own scaled hands, even my nails were now black, growing sharp as steel like those of dragons. I felt an enormous quantity of power flowing through me… But I knew my mother wouldn\'t let me fight against those True Demon Dukes. At the very least, I can support Agni now with Spiritual Blessing!
"Spiritual Blessing!"
FLASH!
Agni quickly received all my power, combined with the Spirit Master Class that seemed to also affect Familiar that were not exactly spirits, his entire power suddenly multiplied by four times!
FLUOOOSSSH!
An enormous storm of flames erupted from Agni\'s entire body, an eruption of pure blazing power!
"UOOOHHHH! T-This is it!" Agni laughed. "Amazing! This is just amazing!" He said. "With this power, I can demolish anything…!"
Agni viciously looked into the two other True Demon Dukes, his eyes flaring with power. Lilith and Astaroth noticed him as another heavy hitter, as Astaroth decided to step in instead of Lilith.
"Let me take him on, my lady. He seems eager!" Said Astaroth.
"Very well! Make sure to torture him lots and lots, Astaroth!" Laughed Lilith.
"I will! With utmost pleasure!" Astaroth laughed with his snake head.
Agni quickly looked back at me and then at Ignatius.
"Sylphy, I am going now! Stay here and protect your mother and everyone here, and my little brother as well! I will be lending you my Draconic Arts, make sure to use them well!" He said.
"I will!" I said, as I quickly decided to unsheathe my sword and confront the army of almost a hundred True Red Demons marching towards us.
"Let me give you a hand as well!" My mother also enhanced Agni with her buffs, as the dragon nodded and flew into the skies.
FLASH!
Agni flew into the skies like a meteor, clashing against the vicious Astaroth with all his strength!
CLAAASSSH!!!
