'I look the same as Acnologia, just that - the mark around my dragon body seems to be silver instead of the original blue. Anyway, I can feel it, I should be able to revert back to my human form now.' Orsted paused, sensing a familiar presence approaching nearby.
His body was curled into a sleeping posture, but due to its size, it was still visible even from afar. He was currently located at an empty plain in the middle of the forest.
"Lord Orsted." The young Rem bowed her head respectfully.
Seeing the basket in Rem's hand, Orsted shook his huge body as slowly as possible - creating a rough burst of air anyway.
Swoosh~!
"Uwaa!" Zarestia woke up from above him.
Seeing her wake up, Orsted picked her up from his neck like an ant and placed her before Rem.
"Here, today's lunch." Rem spoke calmly and handed the basket to Zarestia.
After standing up, Orsted transformed back to humanoid form without hesitation. A bright light covered his whole body, before it shrunk down in a second.
Mindful of the timing, Orsted instantly summoned clothes onto his body from the system.
"Hmm." Orsted moved around his body, but before he could get used to it - he was assaulted by the most beautiful shinigami from the back.
"So it's over at last!" Zarestia hugged his neck tightly.
"Yeah." Orsted smiled slightly at her.
From the heat her body transmitted to him and emotions that her soul carried - she was quite pent up and bored. He did nothing but pass on knowledge to her in the past nine months after all.
'She was able to learn four-fold magic, so I guess my teaching objective is over.'
After calming her down, Orsted sent her back to Rem for lunch.
"I am really sorry, Lord Orsted. I will prepare another set of meals immediately...." The young Rem bowed immediately.
Orsted shook his head: "No need."
His voice was rough and cold at first impression. However, Rem wasn't uncomfortable, having met Zarestia and Orsted continuously for the past multiple months. In reality, She respected them both, for both their strength and willingness to teach her lacking self.
"Understood." Rem spoke with a neutral face.
'Interacting with characters from something I read, really gives rise to a novel feeling.' Orsted began using his body to run and stretch a little, trying to get used to his new power.
'My intuition tells me, no magic can affect my current body. It would have to be something at least like forbidden spells that Echidna knew, to have even a slightest effect on me.'
And Orsted had yet to evolve into a dragon king.
After a while, Orsted stopped and checked his current dragon points.
[Dragon points: 8,560]
It increased automatically in the past nine months. Mostly obtained from Lugunica as a whole, after his status as Roswaal's magic teacher was made public.
'It is getting harder to collect dragon points.' Orsted frowned.
Once a name has been established in the world, it wouldn't be easy to promote it further quickly. In the beginning, people might be surprised by his capabilities, but later it just feels natural.
'My intuition tells me the new chain quest is my key to the next stage.' A bright light flashed sharply at Orsted's golden eyes.
Controlling the system, Orsted added 6,000 dragon points into his template.
[Orsted template: 30%]
[Ding! The host has completed the 25% template milestone!]
[Ding! You have obtained the 'Saint dragon battle aura'!]
[Ding! You have unlocked divinity!]
[Synchronisation with your template increases! 25% of battle experience will be fused.]
[You have unlocked the special chain quest!]
[The second world modification shall commence! Processing....]
Orsted closed his eyes, trying to absorb the huge amount of information being forced into his mind as fast as possible. All his sword techniques and magic abilities were promoted from Saint rank to king rank.
However, it would be a mistake to judge him from just this.
If a normal person wielded a technique like [longsword of light] from Sword god style, they could swing their beyond the speed of sound.
But, if it were Orsted using it instead, he could easily reach a speed closer to that of light - with his natural strength acting like an enhancement.
Watching Orsted from afar, Zarestia ate Rem's handmade food gluttonously. Watching him standing rigid in one spot for a while, Rem tilted her head.
"Don't worry about him, horn girl. I can feel it again, Ors is probably going through one of his growth spurts." Zarestia spoke calmly.
"I see..." Having watched Orsted's growth into a huge obnoxious black dragon, Rem felt it made sense?
Young kids were more open to strange things, accepting new stuff easily.
"Huuu...."
Orsted opened his eyes with a deep breath, excitement visible in his bright eyes.
'[Saint dragon battle aura], I got it at last.'
The strongest unarmed fighting style that makes the least use of mana in combat. It worked like a forcefield, covering the user's whole body passively - providing almost complete resistance against all attacks.
There were only a handful of people who could get past Orsted's [Saint dragon battle aura] in this world.
'Let's see my status...' Orsted looked into his system.
