Chapter 4

Tatsuya woke up in a never-ending field of green grass, with a beautiful clear blue sky, free from any kind of floater, and breezy air hitting his face, causing his hair to wave with the breeze.

Tatsuya was also mesmerized by the beautiful view and wondered where he was currently, but for some reason, he felt like he wanted to be always in this place, he felt.

Calm.

Yes, it was very calming to be around this place, and it was a good place to relieve some stress just by sitting or just sleeping.

Tatsuya decided to lie down and wait until something happened; he did not know where he was currently, and he could see any humans or buildings, so he decided to relax freely.

While lying down while humming, which he can do, as he can express more as he got his emotions back, he felt a presence and a very huge one, too. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a huge dragon hovering above him.

It seems that the dragon saw him wake up, and the dragon instantly dropped down from 100 feet, causing him to run away to avoid getting squashed.

The huge dragon caused a huge crater, and its shock wave still reached him far away from where he was laying previously.

Tatsuya went up to the dragon and saw a majestic red dragon. (AN: I have a problem describing the dragon's appearance (ﾉ≧ڡ≦) Teehee~!)

The dragon suddenly roar, causing him to react; no, specifically his core, reacted to the roar of the dragon, causing Tatsuya to clench his chest as it was where the core of the Welsh dragon was fused with his soul.

Tatsuya wondered why his soul reacted to the dragon's roar in front of him, and he remembered seeing his dragon once.

It was a fateful encounter and also the one who guarded Caliburn, the Sword of Selection.

He remembered that time, he was injured by the bandits who were waiting for him in the mountain and wanted to loot his carriage; they succeeded after one of them tried to kill him, but he obviously dodge but still caused a deep wound on the chest so that no one could tell what happened on the mountains so that he had less to worry about soldiers from the kingdom trying to hunt them.

Fortunately, after escaping, the bandits did not chase him or else he died. He went to a shelter in a random cave very deep in the mountain, which he did not know was the nest of the red dragon and where the trial for the sword of selection was.

...

Deep into the cave we could see a huge red dragon that just being near it can feel the power it radiating, but sadly this current dragon is waiting for its demised or the future king of the land the dragon was guarding, if the said king has arrived if he still hasn't perished then the dragon will give that said future king its core and body, making the future king a dragon.

However, when the future king will pull out the sword of selection, his race will evolve once more as a true dragon, a level that even the dragon can reach in his life, as he was wounded by the white one and just waiting until the fated day to come.

While the dragon was sleeping, the dragon felt a presence entering its cave and, to his surprise, it was the future king, but its life force slowly faded.

Thus, the dragon immediately rushed toward the human and performed what he was supposed to do, his fate as the guardian of Britain.

The dragon stabs its hand to its chest and grabs something, the dragon did not even flinch at its action after the dragon removed its hands from its chest; he was also holding a sphere that was radiating power, it was the dragon's core, or it was called by the dragon hunter's as The Core of the Dragon.

The dragon gently puts its dragon core into the chest of the human; the size of the core is large, so the dragon has to shrink the core down before putting it inside the human chest, which contacts the chest of the human as the core phase through the human chest where it settled down and started to pulse.

The body of the dragon also started to turn into specks of light as it went in through the human body.

The Welsh Dragon, Y Ddraig Goch, passed away and completed his final duty as a guardian of Britain.

...

When he got deeper into the cave, he was already half dead and passed out due to blood loss, but the moment he woke up, he remembered that he was a dragon towering over him and it was shining before passing out again.

When he woke up, he checked the wound on his chest, but there was no sign of the wound or even a scar. He knew that it was a very deep wound, as he felt that if the ribs were not there to protect his organs, he knew he was already dead. He was confused if he was just dreaming, but he was also shocked that he gained muscles out of nowhere, it was impossible to gain muscles at night, and he felt so much power and vitality.

He decided to wander the cave to look for who treated him for a life-threatening wound that failed as there were no signs of humans living in the cave, but when he got into one of the rooms of the cave, he saw mountains of treasures and some of it was priceless, but the one that attracted him the most is one of the beautiful swords he saw in his short life, but while staring at the sword, it was a weird feeling as if he was being called by the sword and asking him to pull the sword out, which he did.

Once he pulled it from the stone, the area was filled with light, making him inhuman and stopping his physical aging, which also strengthened the bloodline of the dragon that he now carries in his blood, which he does not know.

The moment he got out of the cave, some kind of old man wearing a robe for sorcerers screamed that "You finally came out future king" and some kind of no sense like he was some kind of famous sorcerer, but Arthur did not really know the old man or have even heard of him.

...

Inside the castle, an old man was passing through the halls that were in a hurry as he noticed that his old friend's life force was slowly fading away, the immediately went to the stable to get his horse as he raced towards the mountain where the Red Dragon is currently staying.

This old man is Merlinus Ambrosius, or he was famous as Merlin the Court Sorcerer.

Merlin was very anxious that the time of his old friend is finally up without the future king showing up.

However, as soon as Merlin got to the entrance of the cave, he immediately felt the power of two beings, one slowly getting stronger and stronger while the other faded into nothingness.

that he knew that his old friend had finally gone, and the future king had finally shown himself.

After a few hours, the young man had a short blond hair and green eyes. He had the height and weight of a standard man in his 20s and was holding a beautiful sword on his right hand.

"Oh? you finally came out future king!" Merlin exclaimed

"Huh? Who are you, old man?" A young man was cautiously asked.

"Geh!" Merlin was hurt as there was someone who still didn't know him, after all, he's very famous in all of Britain.

Merlin is heading tears as he grabs the young man's shoulder and started to shake him while screaming.

"H-How can you not know the Great Merlinus Ambrosius other known as Merlin the greatest court sorcerer in the kingdom! you! you! CAVEMAN!"

...

After the dragon finished its ear-splitting roar, the core inside Tatsuya's body began resonating with the roar until his skin started to turn hard and grow some kind of armor.

No, it's not armor, its scales, then slowly his arms and legs started to transform into a dragon's limbs, so that his body size slowly increased, and he then noticed that the dragon slowly faded as he transformed.

Then, to finish it off, a pair of large dragon wings let go of a loud majestic roar that causes the ground beneath him to tremble because of the sheer power that came with his roar.

The power that he was radiating is unimaginable; just being close to him makes you feel insignificant, it makes you feel like you are some kind of ant that he can squash anytime he wants.

At that moment, he felt complete and finally understood that he became a dragon, not just a random dragon.

A True Dragon.
