LAZARUS REGULUS
Chapters 8. Contract Forging.
In the dark night in the sky of the Eternal Poison Forest, a man was seen flying up a Red Dragon. On the lap of the man was a baby Black Dragon that was eating the Beast Core. They are Lazarus, Asterion and Ignis.
"Master, is the region of the northern end of the Eternal Poison Forest still far away? I've been flying for 10 hours without resting." Ignis said to Lazarus in a low-pitched voice.
"Ignis you've been resting for 3 hours. I've already said that the nearest human city is about 3 days away, by flying. When riding a horse will take about 2 weeks of travel."
"But.. Master do you still remember the way? Didn't you tell me that you've been living in the Eternal Poison Forest for 30 years?" Ignis asked.
"I remember. The city of Lion Castle was near the northern end of the Eternal Poison Forest. Ignis you can't complain. When the other dragon knows. They'll think you're just a tired weak Dragon, for flying for 2 days." Lazarus answered with a small chuckle.
Roooars
Asterion gave a small roar as if agreeing with the words of Lazarus.
Ignis who heard Lazarus' words became motivated, he let out a fire from his nose.
Ignis is a dragon who has six syllables in his real name. How could he compare to other Dragons.
"Master I will fly at full speed. I'll get to the human city within 3 hours, you'll have to hold on tight" Ignis said.
"alright. That's how Ignis I know, be careful of flying Beast swarms I'm afraid they'll attack us."
Swoooshes!
Ignis flew very fast like a rocket. Lazarus immediately put Asterion into the Draupnir Ring.
Lazarus' long hair fluttered as it was blown by the strong wind. He had not expected Ignis to fly this fast. The pride of a Red Dragon is huge, he has accidentally hurt Ignis' self-esteem.
"Ignian... Stop we've reached the border of Lion Castle City. If you are seen by adventurers or guards there will be a big commotion." Lazarus yells at Ignis to land.
Ignis landed at the very outer reaches of the northern end of the Eternal Poison Forest. Unlike the inside of the Eternal Poison Forest, this outer air was quite clear, and only slightly polluted by poison. Even only a few poisonous insects were visible.
Lazarus leaps from Ignis's back. When his feet hit the ground he felt his feet very soft not boned.
"Master am I a strong Dragon?" Ignis asked with breath gasping from exhaustion.
"Your Ignis is a very powerful Dragon. I'm sure a Dragon your age won't be able to fly as fast as you." Lazarus answered while holding his head because he was a little dizzy. She actually wanted to vomit but she could hold it.
Lazarus is honest. A one-year-old dragon like Ignis cannot fly that fast. Ignis is larger in size than other dragons of the same age. He is also very smart and strong.
"Master can you use common language?" Ignis asked.
"What technicality do you mean? Didn't I already use common language?" Lazarus was confused by Ignis' question.
Ignis shook his head lightly then said, "Master I wonder what language you speak. Ever since I got the memories from my ancestors, I don't know what language you speak."
"Wait the fuck.." Lazarus thought for a moment and then said, "Technical why do you understand my words? Though I don't use any common language on Planet Antares?"
Haha
"Master, don't look down on the high-ranking Beast's intelligence. I can learn quickly and have a legacy of memory from my ancestors, especially in letters and language. I can also use telepathy to speak to humans and low-level Beasts." Ignis laughed, thinking Lazarus was using the language of a race that the Dragon had not yet known.
"What should I do? If I can't communicate with humans I can't enter the city." Lazarus is desperate.
"Your master has only one choice: to make a contract with me. When Master makes a contract with the Dragon. Master can master various Dragon Skills, you can also use common language and understand the letters known to the Dragon." Ignis made an offer while looking at Lazarus with sparkling eyes.
Lazarus touched his chin while thinking about something, he then said, "Can you tell me, how does the contract work?"
Haha
"As always the Master is careful. The master always thinks clearly in making decisions. Sometimes I feel that Master is a God who descends from the upper realms. The Beast Contract was different from the Slave Contract, when a humanoid Race and a high-ranked Beast made a contract, the Beast would be able to share its sight and hearing senses with the user if it chanted "Beast Instinct". You can also know the common language and letters known by the Dragon. When one of us is in danger we can feel each other because our souls are connected." Ignis.
"Your Ignis just told me the positive effects of the Beast Contract did not tell me the negative effects in the Beast Contract. Is not the world made according to the law of cause and effect?" Lazarus looked at Ignis sharply as Ignis was hiding something.
"It... When the Dragons learn that a humanoid race makes a contract with the Dragon with 6 syllables in his name. You will be hunted by the Dragons to cancel the contract because if you die I will die. When I die, you will live. Neither can you and I betray each other." Ignis answered.
Lazarus thought for a moment then said, "I've been an enemy of the Dragons ever since I took care of you two. I don't care about the Dragons, and when I'm about to die I'll cancel the contract with you. I agreed to make a contract." Lazarus smiled.
Your master must repeat the spell I said and just change his name with yours. Ignis then kowtows to Lazarus and casts a spell for the Beast's contract.
"Dear world, Hear the song of the Dragons, I Ignis Argus Arun Lycus Red Dragon with all my strength will protect my best friend. Contract!"
"The dear world. Hear the song of the Dragons, I Lazarus Regulus with all my strength will protect my friend. Contract!"
Where the elements of fire gathered then enveloped Lazarus' body. He felt his body getting stronger and mana continuously flowing swiftly into his body. Lazarus immediately checked his status with the Rating Ring Artifact.
"Listen to the whispers of the world show all my status!"
Crimson Flame Skill Rank S. Beast Skill Instinct Rank C. Job Beast Master A (closed). Dragon Body Skill Rank A. Master all fire elemental skills/Master all fire Element skill Rank S. Job Fire And Ice Magician Rank A (closed)
3 Stars increased to 4 stars.
Creating a New Skill. The All Fire Elemental Skill Master resonated with the Northern Noble Bloodline Skill/Bloodline of northern nobles creating the White Ice Fire Rank S Skill.
"Would I make a contract with Ignis stronger? I also obtained two Rank S skills and two Rank A Skills, whether it was a skill that resonated should be an Ice Mana Passive Skill and a Passive Skill where fire cannot resonate." Lazarus was surprised to find out.
The contract was completed, on the back of Lazarus' right hand was a red Dragon head tattoo. As a sign the contract with Ignis has been successful.
