Chapter 303: True Form Of A Dragon

The inn room went completely silent after the first sentence spoken by Arthur. He wanted to explain further, but first waited for his two friends to recompose themselves.

"This is impossible. Dragons are only a legend. No one had seen one in ages." Liz said.

Arthur was expecting them to not believe him, and that is why he said he could prove it to them. How? Well, he could turn into a full dragon now, and wanted to find any excuse to test his new powers.

He was almost sure Lucas would share the same feeling as Liz, but it turned out that was not the case.

"Bro! No wonder you are handsome, strong, wise and many other things. You are not human! We humans cannot be this good, you know? Also, can you teach me how to breathe fire? I always found it look dope!"

Lucas was the type of friend anyone wanted. He did not even ask if his bro was telling the truth, but believed in it by heart, and that was something rare.

After the initial reaction, Arthur continued to tell them more, using his knowledge and experiences to create a convincing story about how he ended up where he was, saying that there were lots of powerful beings trying to kill the last remaining dragons, and he ended up by having to flee for ages.

They heard it all, and even Liz was believing, as that could explain why Arthur was just too good for someone his age. Also, Liz had woken up after having a nightmare and noticed that Arthur was still up. She had never seen him go to bed first, and that was something she felt suspicious about.

"Maybe he is a vampire?" That was one thing Liz theorized about him.

Arthur was happy to see both of his new friends believed in him, but was still scared that they would share the fact he was a dragon with someone else. That could bring his end, but the two reassure him it would never happen.

"Don't worry, we never do that. But answer me, bro, can you teach me how to breathe fire?"

"Of course he can't, you dumbass. How can he teach you to be a dragon?"

"But I wanted to breathe fire…"

The atmosphere got lighter as they speak, and when the trio remembered their task was over, and they would get their rewards, everything became even better.

"Arthur, aren't dragons supposed to have lots of riches? Can you lend me some money?" Lucas asked.

"I don't have money, but I have a few treasures, and even a few weapons. The thing is, I cannot give to you because everyone back at the school will want to learn its origins, and you know the rest."

"But… but… If I leave the school in the future, will you give me an overpowered weapon forged by the dragons?"

"I might, yes. Us bros always help each other, right?"

They spent the night talking, and left the village the next day, going back to the school for good this time to get their hands on the reward.

Now, they did not rush toward it, but went to a desert place, as both Lucas and Liz wanted to see Arthur's true form.

Not only them, but Arthur himself wanted to test his new stage of the transformation skill. The place they chose was away from everything, and Arthur checked the surroundings to see if there was anyone hiding in there. There was no one.

"Behold my true power, and please don't be scared."

"Relax, bro. I trust in you, bro. A dragon shouldn't be that scary, right Liz?" Lucas said, looking at Liz, who was beside him. She had her eyes wide open, and even though she knew it was her friend Arthur, her legs shook without her command.

Lucas realized something was wrong when looking at her, and when he returned his gaze to where Arthur was, he saw it!

An enormous dragon with black scales! It walked using four legs, and just one of its claws was at least the size of three humans! It was so big the entire area turned darker, with Arthur blocking the sun using his body!

The two wings behind his back flapped, creating a wind so strong that some of the nearby trees were destroyed, cut in half or uprooted by the wind's force. All the animals, small or big, ran away. The magical beasts did the same.

Without Arthur realizing, his presence in that forest made all the beasts ran, creating a territory of his own!

? "This is incredible! I can feel my power at least five times stronger than before! I believe I can go up against a rank 2 mage and win!"

Lucas and Liz could not move an inch, and it took them a few minutes to get their shit back together. Arthur looked at them, and spoke in the human tongue, "I told you I was a dragon."

"My bro, you look DOPE! Look at those wings and these black scales. But hey, aren't you too big? I don't remember the dragons of the legends being these powerful."

"Oh right. I am actually the lord of the dragons itself, Placidusax."

"WHAT?"

Now Liz was the one who went into a shocked state again. Different from Lucas, she read lots of books, and continue doing so. Placidusax was not an unknown name to her, as she read stories about him in old scrolls found on a different continent.

Few people knew about Placidusax on the central continent, as those scrolls were not from there. The reason she did was because of her father, who worked as a merchant, and was in constant travel through the sea, and he had found scrolls telling the story of Placidusax on one of those islands.

For a moment, she had the urge to kneel in front of him. Dragons were already legendary creatures, but Placidusax was in a different realm.

"Placidusax? Never heard about such a dragon. Liz, is Placidusax truly the lord of dragons?"

"Yes, he is. Your bro is awesome."

Arthur then flew away to have a better experience as a dragon. He went up above the clouds, circled around a few times, and wanted to breathe some fire or ice, but restrained himself, as he was sure the attack would cause significant damage.

Then, he turned back into his human form to meet up with his friends, who were watching him flying from the ground.

"So, are you two keeping my secret?"

"Of course, Arthur. I will one day become strong enough to serve you!" Liz said.

"No, you don't need to serve me. I am happy if we were friends. You too, Lucas."

He was not showing his power to get people under his command. Arthur could do that.

"Now, what is our next move?"

"We shall return to the school and get our reward."

"Agreed."

The trio left the deserted area and went back to their journey toward the Blood Spear Academy.

"I am telling you, I saw a freaking dragon!"

"What? Captain Jack, are you up with the rum again? You should take it lightly now that you are approaching the rank 1. It might hinder your progress." A muscular bald man said.

"I did not drink since last week! You should trust your captain more. I am telling what I saw was true!"

"Right, right… Next week you will say you saw a unicorn."
