38 A dragon talk
'this...'
On a giant cavern, a over fifty meters dragon suddenly woke up, he was completely covered with black scales, his eyes were blue
The dragon said something on a unknown language
Suddenly, he disappeared
...
On completely black space, there was a golden platform, above the platform, there were multiple creatures
Some had two heads, others looked a bit like humans, others were completely made from bones
The only thing that they shared was that they looked like lizards, or rather, like dragons
All of then were surrounding a white Dragon that have a very long white beard, his beard touched the ground even though his head was over 10 meters from the ground, the dragon eyes were closed, it seemed like he was thinking about something
The white dragon opened his eyes, he opened his mouth and said
"it's him"
Even though what the dragin was simple, there was a uproar
"Impossible!"
"After so many decades!"
"don't exaggerate"
"Woah!"
Some were shouting like kids, others were crying, while others didn't believe it
"Silence" The white dragon said in calm manner
No one said a word after that
"You can check " the white dragon said
Every dragon said something in a unknown language
After a while, the white dragon said
"So? what do you think?"
The fact that every one there obey the white dragon proves that he have a high position
"It's indeed him, however, the situation seems suspicious"
"Yes, i think so too"
"Hmm? there seems to ba interference"
"I see.."
"Eh? check this out!" one of the Dragons suddenly shouted, attracting the others attention
" What did you find ?"
"Isn't this one of the dimensional ones ruin?"
"seems like it"
"It belongs to that clan...So it means that the reason his bloodline first half awakening was thanks to being there?"
"Eh? it seems like it was modified!"
"Right, looks like there is a gate and temporary dimensional relocation, could it be the one who casted that is the one who did it?
"Stop joking, Although he's at peak arch stage and have a slight connection to the world, it not something he can do"
"eh? isn't this master aura?"
"Right!"
There was a period of silence, everyone was in deep thoughts
"Could it be, master knew about that clan plans and pulled some strings so that his descendant is the one coming to that ruins, and the entire clan effort for increasing his power rapidly would be redirected to the young master?"
"Eh..Doesn't that mean he married someone from that dimensional ones clan?"
"Hmph! They shall be erased!"
"wait, they are the ones who are secretly powering him by 'accidental' occurrence"
"Ah.... Alright I'll erase them later"
"by the way, what about master legacy?"
The question was directed to the white Dragon
"No idea, it suddenly disappeared, i didn't notice the fact it disappeared until young master awakened "
"Ah...I wonder what the legacy was"
"Master only laughed mysteriously and didn't say anything "
"Ah...Master told me it made to correct one foundation, but i doubt something such as master legacy to be the one hundred and fifty formation of power stabilization"
"Probably the phoenix knows more about it, master passed a long of time with them, sigh, but they still dared to betray him, ungrateful bunch"
"We are getting distracted! let get to the point!
After that they had a very long discussion in a unknown language,
"Nagmus, It will be your son"
...
Alter suddenly had a bad feeling, he felt countless gazes
"Don't get sidetracked and answer my question!" Leo shouted
"What was your question again?" Alter said
"How did you finish him?! just judging from the lingering aura he should be at peak master stage! i could only beat him if he was weaker than the average master "
"About that....I somehow transformed into a phoenix and blew him up"
"..." Leo was speechless
"What?" Alter didn't understand why leo had such a reaction, he tried to keep it low profile as possible, rather than saying 'I somehow have understanding of true dreath which triggered a special a ability capable of doubling my stats and i activated my bloodline of dimensional ones , then i transformed into a phoenix and blew him up' he simply said 'I transformed into a phoenix and blew him up"
Leo sighed and said
"Shape shifting using some elements requires a complete affinity towards that element, not to mention there's a chance of less than 0,1% of awakening it"
"i see"
Hearing Alter answer, Leo wanted to shout at him for his lack of proper reaction
"Is there a way to raise affinity?" Alter Asked
"Hmm? Oh, the most used way is to train using the element you want to raise affinity with, there are people with special bodies capable of doing it differently, but that mostly in legends, things such as 'came in contact with flames and ate it to get a complete affinity' is but a lie"
Seeing that Leo was in the mood to answer questions, Alter took the initiative to ask him
When Alter first saw Leo, he felt like Leo is a battle maniac, but his feeling was wrong
After casually asking some questions, Alter learned a shocking information
Those assassins are probably a part of test, this can be proved by the fact that killing them sometimes gives access to the next room, Leo met some seniors and they told him that each year some bizarre event happens such as some dragon invading the academy or a doppelganger being a assassin, but in the end, it just something the academy did to provide students with death-and-life experience
Leo wanted to ask Alter why he said 'You're still alive!' but Alter quickly used his mental power to trigger a switch
A important note is that the seniors didn't publicly say it as they wanted their juniors to suffer like they did when they just joined the academy
Alter asked Leo if the labyrinth was monitored, the answer was no, most of the students got some powerful life saving item or techniques that they want to keep it as a secret
Light enveloped Alter and Leo, then both disappeared
...
Alter found himself in a desert again, but suddenly, everything around him started distorting, everything went black for a second, next thing, he found himself standing in a area filled with black and red rocks, lava everywhere, he didn't feel any heat, but more importantly, in front of him there's a sleeping red dragon...
