Chapter 88: Sage Dragon Slayer Magic
~Rou POV~
After talking with Warrod for a few days and hearing the news of the joint Guild attacking the Oración Seis winning in the end I was smiling happily reading the news of it through the local reports from Warrod as members of the Wizard Saint.
Perks being buddies with the Magic Council huh?
Ignoring those thoughts at the moment we managed to reconnect with Warrod but when I try to search for Precht and Hades it ends up empty leaving me confused about such an outcome occurring here.
In the end, we had to cancel looking for Precht after a large number of days passed searching for him throughout Fiore since whenever we get close it buzzes out and restarts again much to my ever-growing confusion.
In the end, though we were both concerned about what happened to our old friend in the end it seems like we have another reason to stay around a bit longer in search of a old friend but for now, we eventually returned to Magnolia Town after a couple of days passing.
When we returned surprising the guild, we already talked with Makarov about us abruptly leaving saying we had some old scores to settle and saw his grandson safely off somewhere reflecting on his actions.
He thanked us for giving an update on his actions making the old man smile at this.
Later on, I returned back to my underground base with my experiments of Alchemy and plant life as I tried to discover the correct means of finding the right synthesis formula needed to create a genuine Dragon Slayer without the needless issues of the Dragon Seed and particles it produces.
Mavis helped me out with this project of mine as our minds couldn't help but find the means to help our new Dragon Slayers out like Wendy and Carla that joined a few days prior to our genuine return.
She's a nice kid the cat has a stick up her ass that doesn't shine.
But returning to my point I have been trying to make some medicine to counteract the side effects of the Dragon Seed that is all within Dragon Slayers.
A Dragon Seed is a plant-like organism that forms inside the body of a human who uses Dragon Slayer Magic that begins the process of Dragonization. One would think it would be good, but it couldn't be farther from the truth.
A Dragon Seed is one of the three known side effects of a human learning Dragon Slayer Magic; this specific one is a plant-like organism that simply forms inside one's body and begins their process of Dragonization, starting with their bodies producing Dragon-like features such as scales.
The only known method to permanently combat a Dragon Seed from completely transforming one; is for a host Dragon to perform a Dragon Soul Technique ritual on a host Dragon Slayer to cure their transformation with antibodies that are dispersed from the Dragon residing in their body.
Alternatively, the Dragonization can also be temporarily stopped by separating the Dragon Slayer Magic from its user with the use of a Separation Enchantment.
Another method would be using Law Dragon Slayer Magic to retain one's humanity despite already having the process changed into a Dragon.
But here I'm making my own little victory in this small group of dealing with the Dragonization issue.
*Splash*
*Buuu*
Currently, I'm by myself in the underground portion of the guild as Mavis is enjoying playing with Wendy like a mother would spoil her daughter for the sake of it. I think she might be close to wanting a kid soon and for me, I wouldn't mind now considering it would be nice to have one now than in the past.
At the very least the most 'carnal' activities I give her stop her from being pregnant by my Enchants since at the time we didn't want a kid just yet because of our responsibilities at the time.
Hehehe…
I wonder what's it like to be a father though to a son or daughter.
How would we name them is a good question.
Merlin Ake Vermillion for a boy?
Artora Ake Vermillion?
Nah.
I think Mavis has the best naming sense between the both of us but regardless though I'm best to keep my attention to my latest development is experimenting with the Dragon Seeds fully grown in my small plantation under the Guild building.
*Clck*
Switching the lights on I began to see the fruits of my labor quite literally as I see the Dragon Fruits lying on the tree branches with me smiling, "Hehehe… To think there would be a day to see actual Devil Fruits in this day and age. Well… more like Dragon Fruits to me. Metal, Fire, Lightening, Yellow, Spirit, and the best one of all… Sage Dragon Fruit."
It took me a while to break down the code and experiment on the Dragon Seeds itself I needed one to be fully fertilized into the ground.
Thankfully from gracious unknowing members Erza, Wraith, Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, and Laxus, I managed to extract the best Dragon Seeds from their DNA strands of either blood or a piece of hair.
With my knowledge of the genetics of the DNA of Earth with clone replication, I managed to complete the work into something more similar extracting the genetic code into fruits best suitable for the Dragon Seeds to grow from.
Although it would've taken years of my personal time to conduct this with the Dragon Cry the process was almost immediate.
I used the Dragon Cry in the center of my plant growth producing multiple Dragon Fruits lying about on the growing trees having scales and others smooth.
But all of this wouldn't be useful if I didn't have a counter to the Dragon Seed Dragonization… if it wasn't for Erza's existence then all of this wouldn't be possible.
Erza is what I believe to be a unique existence because of her genetic coding and the circumstances of her birth to achieve this feat.
She's probably one if only the select few people that can have proper anti-bodies against the Dragonization process as her mother Irene managed to halt the process with her Magic Power allowing Erza's embryo to contain the Dragon DNA of the Sage Dragon Slayer deeply dormant within her body.
Cross-testing the blood sample has produced results that I find pleasing testing it on different varieties of plants and by adding the antibodies of Erza DNA within them the Dragon Seed or Dragon Fruit Dragonization process halted in place.
With further examination, because the fruits were not sentient, I used a Concept Enchantment to create a human-like test dummy as small as a mouse eating one of the fruits obtaining said Dragon Slayer Magic Power from one of the generations eating flesh.
It works for this case as well since the Dragon Fruit are in a sense Dragons themselves with the Magic Power within them waiting to be devoured.
Taking a glance at the syringe in my hand with the power of science and Alchemy anything is possible after all transmuting and understanding the world around me is my key to strength now to lengthen the process…
*Zzzzz*
Inserting the Syringe into my body and using the Philosopher Stone to speed up the process I go towards one of the Sage Dragon Slayer Fruits in a shape of a strawberry taking in the amusement of it all, "To think the most compatible fruit to use was a Strawberry of all things to create this. Wonder if the universe is saying something that Irene and Erza both love strawberries."
Regardless though with this, I should be able to help Irene now if she requested because if it wasn't for her keeping Erza human then this wouldn't be possible.
*Chomp*
*Gulp*
Taking a bite out of the Sage Dragon Slayer Magic Fruit I felt my eyes widen as I feel my Magic Power skyrocket feeling the change immediately in amazement, "Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!!!"
I couldn't help it as I felt all my previous Enchants have been boosted 10-fold. 10 times the Magic Power I gained from eating the fruit as I looked at my hand.
Now then…
Dragonforce!
*BOOM*
Feeling a booming power as waves of pure power rush out of me I couldn't help but be amazed but also the changes evident showing off the power as I see only my arms grow scales, legs to feet armored in scales, growing horns, feeling a new limb of the tail that grew, and of course the wings that came with it.
*Fwp*
*Fwp*
And with instinct control as well.
Fortunately, though I had in mind creating these Dragon Fruits they only give the user monstrous power up but at the cost of not obtaining the full benefits of a normal dragon would have.
*BOOM*
Going into a minor form of my full Dragon Form I have full control it seems from what my studies and experiments have shown looking at my form…
*Wooosh*
*Sheee*
Interesting…
While I eliminated the effects of the Dragon's natural Dragon Seed. I can sense that I'm a true Dragon but rather one in power but not in life.
I have the powers of a Dragon and can choose to go into my full size if need be, but I won't be considered a real one per se because I eliminated for the long-life span into power instead quite the interesting theory.
It is possible to raise your own Magic Power in a short incredible burst but like everything in this world, it's not without a Cost that being the Caster's own Life Force the Dragon Fruit is similar in this case.
Still though Sage Dragon Slayer Magic huh?
Sage Dragon Slayer Magic is a Caster Magic, Ancient Spell, or Lost Magic, a type of Dragon Slayer Magic that utilizes the traits of a Sage Dragon.
Sage Dragon Slayer Magic is a type of Dragon Slaying Magic that allows the user to take on the traits and abilities of a Sage Dragon. The most notable feature is the ability to amplify Magic or Magic Power and Enchantment to higher than normal levels, said to transcend the land, sky, and seas.
At least foretold in the wiki it should be.
Changing back into my human form again as I stretch myself from the restless work I put myself through placing the Enchantment Runes on it protecting my work.
Perhaps the world is not ready for the power of a Dragon Slayer to normal people…
*Snap*
Snapping my fingers moving my plantation away from prying eyes I could tell Mavis the news –
Wait…
I paused as I wonder why haven't seen even came here yet.
She should've noticed my Magic Power rise up sharply but then… no.
Nononononon!!!
My eyes widen as with the new perks of the Dragonization also heighten my senses as I smelled no one around.
*WOOSH*
Rushing outward I was met with a blank look at the sky using my Telekinesis Spell to see nothing as fear gripped my heart.
No, it wasn't supposed to happen this soon. No….
My eyes soon dart towards the sky as I see Happy, Carla, Natsu, and Wendy already gone ahead seeing the traces of Anima particles in the sky as I grit my teeth in pure anger, "Edolas…. You picked the wrong person to piss off today…"
*BOOM*
Changing into my full-on Dragon Form or I guess I should say Sage Dragon Mode I flew up increasing my growth using my Philosopher Stone imbued into my body now that this came up as an issue.
Those people really should've not picked on this world or my wife…
There will be hell to PAY in BLOOD –
!!!
My senses alerted me for a second as I thought someone was after me for a second there. This is going to be troublesome isn't it?
Just what I need…
