Back when Dylan was still fighting Fafnir.
At Arcadia's current residence the head of the Arcadia family, Hyoga van Arcadia was having lunch with his wife Pavline van Arcadia and his adopted daughter Filaret van Arcadia.
"Oh yeah, where's Dylan? Tumben he didn't eat together?".
"Don't know, I don't know where? You know where Dylan is, Fila-chan?".
"Hmmm.... Earlier, Nii-san said she wanted to practice in the forest and will be home later in the afternoon".
"Oh, huh!?..... Then where's Sonia? He hasn't been seen since morning".
"Sonia-chan, tell me there's some business she needs to finish".
"...... Business, huh?".
Hearing where Dylan went Hyoga was not worried at all, but somehow when he heard Sonia had "must be done" made him feel suspicious.
In the afternoon.
The Arcadia Mansion became extremely panicked.
The cause is Sonia who came home with a badly injured Dylan.
The servants immediately brought Dylan back to his room and immediately called the Doctors.
Pavline and Filaret immediately panicked upon hearing the news of what had happened to Dylan.
"Sonia, what happened to Dylan? Why is he like this?".
"Certainly Sonia-san!? Why would Nii-san be so badly injured like this?".
Pavline and Filaret, panicking at Dylan's condition, soon find Sonia and ask what really happened to Dylan.
"You don't have to worry!? Let's just focus on Dylan's recovery!? And Sonia when Dylan wakes up, I want to talk to you with four eyes".
"Good, Master".
I don't know what Hyoga wants to talk about with Sonia. But, right now they should focus first on Dylan's recovery.
(----------)
Darkened.
Maybe that's a suitable word to describe the situation Dylan is in right now.
He was currently in a black vacuum. Confused, Dylan tried to examine the surroundings.
A moment later a very loud roar from behind him.
When he turned to the source of the voice, how shocked Dylan was when he saw the figure of Dragon God King Fafnir who was now being shackled with chains.
The moment their eyes met, the Fafnir then spoke.
"Thank you, man..... Thanks to you I can get what I've wanted all along"
"?".
".......... Now let me give you my strength, my blood and my eyes as my thanks".
"Eh?".
"From now..... My strength is.... Yours....".
"Eh? Uh?".
"I look forward to your future........ Dylan van Arcadia's".
Fafnir's fingers came closer and touched Dylan's head.
Then as bright as a very glare light, resuscitate it.
As Dylan opened his eyes, he saw the roof of a building that looked like it was in his room.
When Dylan tried to get up, he somehow felt very heavy, especially at the bottom.
"Good Morning, Mr. Dylan".
Suddenly a very sweet voice greeted him. As Dylan turned his gaze to the source of the voice.
He was surprised to see the person who called him was Sonia's personal servant.
But, what was strange was Sonia who did not wear a servant uniform but wore her nightgown and sat on top of Dylan.
"Valgene,..... What are you doing?...... It's above me......Can you.... Downstairs?..... You're so heavy to know.... ".
"Sorry Sir!? Right now I'm doing a magic massage for you!? So I can't go down".
"..... What kind of massage is that...... From what I see..... You're trying.... Harassed me.... That'sthat's all".
"Ara, ara I didn't expect the master I served would think so".
(Wait first.... This is the girl why? He usually acts cold to me.... Now why is she acting so sweet as this?.... What am I doing?).
In his mind, Dylan wondered about Sonia who had suddenly changed her attitude.
Amidst her confusion, Sonia suddenly crawled over Dylan's body and her huge chest pressed down on Dylan's chest and their faces faced each other.
"..... Sonia-san's chat.... Now what do you want.... ".
Sonia stuck her index finger on Dylan's lips, which made him stop talking.
"Just calm down, sir.... Calmness is a good moment for now.... Don'tdon't worry.... Leave everything to me".
Sonia's face slowly drew closer and her lips were ready to kiss Dylan's lips.
CRAB!!!
"Well, whoa, whoa.... Even though you're a personal servant of Nii-san and a person I already consider to be like my own older sister.... But, you're acting so brashly like this, Sonia-san".
In that very thrilling moment, it was shattered instantly as a result of Filaret barging in by showing a smile and a terrifying aura.
"Ara, ara, who do I think? It turns out Fila-chan, huh!? Breaking into someone else's room is no good, huh? Then, didn't I lock the door?".
Sonia casually responded to Filaret who was giving off a frightening aura.
"Haha... That's so easy!? Just stick the keyhole, then the door will open, right".
Filaret showed me a safety pin she used to pry the door of Dylan's room and maintain her eerie smile.
"Ara, ara, since when did the good and innocent Fila-chan turn into a bad girl to dare to break into her sister's room".
"Haha.... That explains it.... Because i'm... Wanting to protect Nii-san..... From the "sort of" you".
"Oh so yeah. Ahahaha...!!!!".
"really so. Hahahahaha......!!!".
Sonia and Filaret were now facing each other, laughing together and emitting a terrifying aura.
"Haha.... Enough already!? Dad told me to call you to his room!? Now go there!? Hush, hush, hush.... ".
"All right, then!?... Mr. Dylan, excuse me first".
Without further ado, Sonia immediately said goodbye to Dylan, but by showing a little sweetness, making Filaret who saw him very disgusted.
"... Nii-san!?...... Are you all right?".
After Sonia left, Filaret immediately spoke to Dylan but in a serious tone.
"... Ah, take it easy my body is a little light".
"That's not the answer to my question".
"?".
Dylan raised one of his eyebrows in confusion with Filaret's question.
"What I'm asking is...... Are the lips and sections************ Nii-san okay?".
Filaret asked with very serious affectionate eyes towards Dylan.
While Dylan who heard could only fall silent with a blank look.
".... What kind of question is that..... Fila".
(---------)
Leaving Dylan and Filaret together.
The viewpoint changed to a room that resembled someone's work space.
There are currently two people who are there, namely the head of the Arcadia family, Hyoga van Arcadia and Dylan's personal servant, Sonia Novacronos.
"How's Dylan doing? Is she okay?".
"Mr Dylan is conscious!? Even though his body is still a little weak".
"Thank God, then.......Then who was Dylan dealing with, to the point of making him seriously injured".
"Lord fought one-on-one with Dragon God King Fafnir".
Sonia tells what caused Dylan to be as badly injured as he is now.
Surprisingly, Hyoga who got news of who his son was fighting with still remained calm.
Then, he spoke again.
"Sonia, do you remember the day Dylan was born?".
Sonia nodded her head as a signal that she remembered the day.
Seeing Sonia's response, Hyoga continued his story.
"You said back then that Dylan "can't" use attribute magic, but instead he can use non attribute magic.... ".
Sonia fell silent, and Hyoga continued the story.
"Then, when I asked if Dylan had some sort of Uniqe Skill, you said he didn't have one. Then I asked him how much Magic Energy he had, and you said that he didn't have a large amount.......... But, I know that 2 things are just lies that you deliberately make..... Because I am also a Magic Swordsman...... Because magic swordsmen generally have one Uniqe Skill as their ultimate weapon and a large capacity of magic energy...... Even so, I didn't try to ask anything......... Merely because I believe you can keep the seal........ ".
Then Hyoga began to suffer from his back teeth like holding back emotions.
"....... Then, why?".
BANG!?
The loud sound of Hyoga's fist hitting his desk echoed in the room.
And with overflowing emotions he spoke again very loudly.
"THAT'S WHAT? HOW CAN THE SEAL BE OPENED? AND ALSO THAT INFINITE AMOUNT OF MAGIC ENERGY? KEEP ON UNIQE WHAT SKILL HE HAS!?...... Don't tell me you're planning on making my son one of your Sanctuaries? ANSWER ME!?........ Arc Angel Time, Sonia Novacronos".
Sonia calmly, responding to Hyoga's overflowing emotions.
And he started talking, but this time in an informal way.
"Hyoga....... You remember, right!? When we first met at the temple of Lord Aesir!?.... You promised me you'd give me a "family".... as proof to keep my "deal" with the Arcadia family!?..... And you really have fulfilled what you promised!?..... That gives me a real "family...... So, I'll be honest with you now".
Hyoga was silent at Sonia's words. And Sonia continued her story.
"..... From birth Dylan was not a normal child in general, not only did he have limited Magic Energy, he even had a kind of Uniqe Skill that was so powerful that he could fight against the Sanctuaries...... And even he was able to rival the Angle Arc...".
"I thought the boy must have it..... So, what's the name. Uniqe Skill's?".
Hyoga asked about Dylan's Uniqe Skill.
"The name of Dylan's Uniqe Skill is....... Limitless".
"Eh?".
Hyoga was surprised not to play when he heard the name of Dylan's Uniqe Skill.
Ignoring that Sonia explained what the skill was.
"Limitless is a skill that can force Dylan to exceed the limits he has, not just the limits on his physical strength,..... But also his magic power whose effect could increase many times over than usual..... It is like a double-edged knife..... This skill also had a bad impact on him..... The limit when using this skill is no more than 1 minute.... And if he does more than that time limit.... Dylan's body would explode and shatter into pieces..... But, that would happen if Dylan was 100% human".
"100% human? Whatchu mean?".
".... As you know, Dylan managed to remove the seal I gave him and unknowingly activated the Skill..... Although it only damaged the seal by about 10....... But, that Skill helped Dylan to defeat Fafnir, and now Fafnir's soul and power permeated and united with him..... As a result, Dylan had now evolved from a human to a Half-Dragon.... That way now Dylan could use the Limitless Skill for a slightly longer period of time.... And not only that, Dylan now had the title of Dragon Killer which should have been a mere fairy tale...... There would be many who would want him to harness his power or perhaps even go after his life".
Hyoga was surprised and silent when he heard the explanation of Sonia's Uniqe Skill had Dylan and himself who managed to get the title as a "Dragon Killer" which should only be a fairy tale, turned into reality.
And somehow Hyoga has a hunch that his son will have the same bad luck as him in the past.
Instantly his face became extremely pale as if blood was disappearing.
His body became so limp that Hyoga who was standing fell into his chair.
With a trembling body and a sad tone Hyoga began to speak again.
"Why?.... Why did Dylan have to go through all this?..... Why can't we escape the Arcadia family's "curse?..... Shoulda-coulda.... WHAT SHOULD BEAR THIS "HOOK" IS ENOUGH FOR ME".
I don't know what the "curse of the Arcadia family" by Hyoga meant that clearly Sonia knew what it was.
'You don't have to worry, Hyoga!?..... What if there is a danger that comes and threatens his life..... I, Sonia Novacronos the Arc Angel of Time will protect her.... Even if his opponent was a fellow Arc Angel or Lord Aesir himself".
Seeing the sad Hyoga, Sonia assures him that she will with all her heart and is ready to sacrifice her life to protect Dylan from harm.
"That's it!?...... I entrust Dylan's protection to you, Sonia".
Hyoga who heard Sonia's readiness to protect Dylan had no choice but to believe her.
Behind the door of the room was someone eavesdropping on the conversation between Hyoga and Sonia, and it was the Pavline that had been there.
Pavline, who heard all this, trembled not in fear, but in shock at the secret of his son, which he did not know.
But, Pavline knew the reason why both Hyoga and Sonia kept this a secret from him was to not worry him.
Having been unable to hold back his curiosity anymore, Pavline immediately went towards his son's room to ask him directly.
