Episode 12 : The Mysterious Cave and a New Friend

It was hard on my body. My bones were crunching as I moved my fingers. I was seriously injured. I barely got up and began to crawl around the dark place. I couldn't feel my magic power. I hope this situation is temporary...

Walking in the dark, I occasionally tripped over stones and fell, and yet I continued to stand up Decisively. When I finally arrived at the area where there were strange luminous stones, I finally understood where I was. I was in a cave!

I went to the stones shining blue. An incredible magical power was emanating from these stones. My blood was drawn when I touched the stone with my bloody palm, and I began to feel my magic power. In fact, my magic power seemed to be developing. The stone I touched emitted a pale light over time. While I was renewing my mana (Magic Power), he was being exploited. Finally, when manam was completely full, there were very few strange stones left in the cave. I have named these stones the 'Mana Stone'.

I took what I saw from the mana stones with me. When I was finally collecting, I heard a water dripping sound. My attention was completely directed in that direction, and I headed in the direction where the sound came from. About five minutes later I was quite close to the source of the sound.

I entered through the door, which was carved in a round shape, and the view opposite me was magnificent. Protruding stones that shimmer in many colors - blue, purple, red, green and so on. In the middle, I saw the azure shining water inside the carved circle structure.

I approached the water together with a voice inside me and came out with the rich smell of mana.One of the chains that had been an obstacle for the Tier Mage had come loose. I dipped my hand into this resource and sent it to my storage of an entire resource.

As the source entered my storage, I heard a frightening growl behind me. I turned my head slowly. Whatever's behind me... he was too strong!

When my eyes looked at the monster, all my strength was suddenly withdrawn. I saw that terrible blue eyes were looking at me, along with a long ice-formed tail, azure scales, a pair of frightening wings. Yes.. it was a dragon this is!!

I even forgot to breathe. My whole body was shaking spontaneously when I felt excessive pressure and the power of magic from the monster in front of me.

My heart suddenly slowed down while the power in my knees was being pulled out and the pressure on me started to decrease. A crimson fire was seen all around me as my whole body warmed up. Blood Fire!!

The dragon looked at me with surprised eyes "Who are you, human?! Why can you use that fire?!" his aura was even more dominant. I sensed a heavy killing intent in your eyes. If I lie... I'll die!!

"I don't know. But this fire has been with me since the day I woke up."

The dragon looked at me for a while longer. It was like he was weighing me down. As the intention to kill decreased, he asked again, "How did you get here?"she asked calmly. However, his aura was still imposing.

"I got stuck on a slope during a monster tide and was here when I jumped down as a last resort. No.. exactly what I wasn't here. I was in a dark room and I came here on foot."

The dragon's intention to kill has completely disappeared. And then he looked at me and said, "Isn't it greedy of you to understand all the legendary water?" said. The legendary liquid? What was that? Otherwise... does he mean the water I get from here?

I waved my hand and put back half the water I had taken. I heard the dragon's chuckle "Interesting.. say half and half..." he seemed to be having fun. The dragon approached the source of the water and, after drinking from the water, lay down in front of the exit.

When I saw where the dragon was lying, I sighed and sat down somewhere near it. The dragon opened his eyes "It's interesting..." he closed his eyes again, saying.

After the dragon fell asleep, I got up and, taking out my sword, began to train near the source.

The days passed thus. It was enough for me to take a drop of the legendary water in my storage when I was hungry. Just a drop of it took away my fatigue, quenched my hunger, completely healed my wounds.

After a while, I Decoupled the shortcomings in my techniques and fought the dragon occasionally. The dragon didn't attack me with the intention of killing me no matter what. But he beat me hard enough to bring me face to face with death. At the end of my time like this, he was exactly one year behind.

A friendship had formed between me and Dec dragon. Just in my fourth month, he showed me out of the cave. However, I chose to stay in the cave. At first I thought I should go out and listen to my head, but when it occurred to me that there were thousands of genius people out there that I hadn't seen, I gave up on this idea.

In total, I trained with the Dragon Sarlanth for a year. I also found out that Sarlanth is an ancient dragon. Another name, he said, was 'Death Bringer'. After training, I would tell him about the human world, while Sarlanth would tell me about the dragon land.

From what I learned from Sarlanth, there were several land names in this world that I didn't know. These are; Dragon Realm, Elf Realm, Demon Realm, Angel Realm, Sky Realm and Gods Realm. Of course, there were dozens, maybe hundreds of thousands of mysterious lands that were previously unknown among these Dec.

Even Sarlanth has only heard of seven realms in all his years of life. He had been able to travel and seen only four of them. Dragon Land, Elf Land, Sky Land and Demon Land were among them.

According to Sarlanth, even the lowest tier of demons was equal to the sixth tier of humans. So we humans were the most powerless race.

I got up early today and went to the exit of the cave. I saw Sarlanth lying outside near the waterfall. I looked at him and smiled and said, "Bye, buddy. I'm leaving today. I can't stay here with you anymore."Sarlanth looked at me," That's when it came to that... don't you go I won't say. You can only call me when you're close to dying. Even if I have both hands in blood, I will come to you." said. I looked at Sarlanth and approached him. When I put my hand on his head, an ancient inscription appeared on his head. Sarlanth looked at me in shock. His eyes filled and he bowed his head.

The Blood Fire had become very strong over the past year. When it got stronger, I had a technique in mind. A Blood Pact! In this treaty, if one of the two parties was close to death, the other person would teleport to his side. They could also use their power by adapting their meanings to each other on both sides.

While Dragon Sarlanth can use blood fire, I can use dragon power. After we both left, Sarlanth flew away. And he dropped me off at the top of the waterfall where I last fell.

Driving towards the village of Amber, I saw a monster in the forest. Normally, the beast would not be visible in this part of this forest. I think a lot has happened in this one year.

I approached the D-Tier monster. This was the same kind of gorilla monster I fought a year ago. When the monster noticed me, it roared and started running at me like crazy. I pointed my hand to the side and a spear appeared in the palm of my hand.

As the monster rushed at me, its running slowed down and it felt the danger. After all, I had the same level as him. In addition, manam contained the remains of a dragon. Of course, I was going to put racial pressure on the monster.

As soon as I activated my power, I felt a force enveloping my entire body. This power was new to me. The Power of Dragons!!!

When I was thrown forward with my spear, I came to the bottom of the monster at an incredible speed. The monster was still looking at where I was before. His eyes couldn't keep up with my speed!!

I pierced a magic hole in his heart with my spear, and, covered with blood, I advanced smiling when my foot touched the ground again...

[(<< Blood Fire : Level 6 ( 45.000 / 100.000 ) >>)]

When I came to the path, my memories were earthquake. I last talked to a family here. On my way to the house where my grandfather was, I saw people in the village. No one could see me because the cape I was wearing on my head was a hoodie. Even if they had already seen it, they would have been afraid. Because when my blood temperature exceeded the fifth level, my hair became permanently white.

When I came to the front of the familiar village house, the woman at the door looked at me. He put his sword to my neck and said, "Who are you? Why are you hiding yourself?!" said. I grabbed the sword between my two fingers and Decimated it. The woman immediately took a few steps back and, taking up the combat position, I took off my hoodie "My name is Aiden Scarlet!" after I introduced myself, a scarlet fire engulfed my body. The inside of the woman's eye that was looking at me trembled. Seeing my fire, he got down on his knees and said, "Forgive me, young master Aiden, for I don't recognize you!" he asked for forgiveness by saying. I got my fire back and after expressing that it didn't matter, I went in.
