5 A pitiable dragon

The process was extremely tiring, just when I was about to stop, I noticed the anomaly, I can't stop.

More and more spiritual energy began gathering and before I knew it, my core became the size of a fist. It also began to glow but the shape is no longer a perfect circle.

"You", a furious bellow sounded like a deep thundering.

BOOM

I was sent flying and pasted on a nearby rock like a pancake.

Following which, a massive hammer like object strike upon me, which made me loose consciousness for a moment.

If not for the massive influx of energy inside my body a moment ago, I would have died multiple times.

Prior to this event, if I was 50% sure that I have been reincarnated as a slime, after this event, I am 100% sure because no matter how you look at it, a fleshly body can't be reduced to a pancake and still be perfectly fine.

"You dare absorb my blood essence", The voice sounded once more, but unlike before, it was as cold as an ice block.

"Senior, what do you mean?"

"You dare to act innocent before me, and here I was wondering where you have pop out from, no wonder, you are born from my blood and gained consciousness, if I were failed to eliminate you now, you will vie for my body".

A shudder ran through Ruth's entire body.

Without thinking much, he began to find his way out from this predicament, but without his other four senses, he was no different from a fish on a chopping board.

BOOM

Another, earth shattering crash sounded, following with a

PUCHI

Ruth, who resembled a slime a moment ago, was no different from a sputum now.

Several cracks appeared on his newly formed core. At this rate if he does not found his way out, he will be wiped out before doing anything in this world. How embarrassing it would be to die right after going through so much. Just remembering that arrogant bastard who was with the goddess made his blood boil.

He must have done it intentionally, making him the weakest creature and reincarnating him right near to that insane fellow.

Attacking before explaining anything, it was him who told him to absorb spiritual energy, and now you are attacking me because I absorbed it, is there something wrong with your head.

Forget it, he was a person who was attacked by his own fiancée, being attacked by a random fellow no longer faze him.

The barrage of attacks continued relentlessly, Ruth who was on the receiving end was feeling like a small boat in the midst of a hurricane.

"Seni...." but before he could finish his words another attack landed squarely on his body. The core in side his body began to show sign of bursting apart because of relentless attacks from the other party.

"You Bas****", not expecting the fellow to be so decisive in killing him, not giving him any chance to even speak, Ruth couldn't care any more, he began absorbing the so-called spiritual energy from the pool and from the surroundings, not caring about anything at all. Even if he was to to die here, he shall die while absorbing the spiritual energy.

On the other hand, the other party, i.e. the poison dragon,Vehallora was feeling so angry that it no longer care whether the other party was a friend or a foe.

Just the act of stealing his blood essence, it has painstakingly collected over a thousand year was enough to warrant the other party to a million death. But no matter how he attacked, whether it was his poison breath or his mighty claws the other party was unfazed before them. If not for those darned humans capturing him here for a thousand years, he would have no trouble dealing with such creatures.

His eyes turned red from rage and his attacks became even more frantic.

But soon he realised that the fellow before him despite being small is as resilient as a cockroach.

Seeing his blood essence being absorbed and his strength diminishing with every passing of a second, the dragon finally relented and began begging for mercy.

"I was wrong, I attacked you first, Junior stop absorbing my blood if ..."

The dragon has not finished his sentence, but Ruth screamed inside his head,"Scram!!".

Huge chains rattling noises could be heard in the underground chamber of the blood pool, the entire forest is shaking frantically, All the beasts inside the forest are running away for their life.

Ruth who was frantically absorbing the 'spiritual-energy' finally noticed that their density become more scarce the more he absorbed, and the strength of dragon is also decreasing with each absorption, elated he did not cease the absorption process despite pummelled to the point to vomit blood.

The dragon's attack finally came to halt, and with a loud BOOM it dropped to the floor, its body motionless.

If Ruth could see right now, he could see copious amount of blood gushing out from the dragon's wounds and gathering towards an inconspicuous slime in the corner.

The slime is blood red in colour, with its size remaining the same despite absorbing the blood..

Alas...Ruth breathe out a sigh of relief. It was not an easy feat to defeat the insane fellow. Just when he was about to survey his surroundings and find out a way to awaken his eyesight an voice full of resentment sounded again inside his brain.

"You bastard... How dare you !", following which a massive shadow appear directly inside Ruth's consciousness, It was a purple dragon with a massive body. His eyes are full of rage and indignant, it bare it fangs ready to swallow Ruth who resemble an ant before a creature of such scale.

Suddenly, his entire mind shook and he felt a powerful suction force, alarmed he tried resisting but in the end all his efforts were akin to a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The purple dragon didn't even bother to chew his soul, directly swallowing it inside its belly, Only then did its eyes revert back to normal from red.

Feeling indignant for being snub by a puny creature and reduced to a soul, The dragon was just about to take control of Ruth's body when the dragon suddenly sprawled on his back. His soul flickered unceasingly as if it would dissipate at any moment.

In that moment the dragon recalled something it had heard while adventuring, The soul devouring physique, back then he scoffed at it because such physiques are extremely rare and if found, will be subject to experimentation, that is why till date no adult with soul devouring physique is found, but to think that a random fellow who gained consciousness from his own blood would devour him, the dragon was feeling so indignant that it wanted nothing but to smash that fellow to a pulp.

He roared to heavens for the injustice, "NOOOOOOOOO!".

Following which, his soul burst apart, countless light particles illuminated the dark space inside Ruth's consciousness and began gathering and assimilating themselves, forming Ruth who was just eaten a moment ago, but unlike before his soul carries a sense of power and draconic aura.
