Chapter 7: Dragon Egg

"Wow! Is that..?"

The two kids are amazed by what they have seen.

"Is that an egg of the dragon?" Kraftvoll asked the question with wonder in his eyes as he stares at the red-scaled egg.

Belle's eyes are also full of wonders. She smiled a little bit as she thought something. 'I want the dragon in this egg to be my first partner beast'

"Only an egg of a dragon is that scaly. I want to bring this egg home. Kraftvoll, carry it!" Belle replied to Kraftvoll.

"Bu-but my lady, what if it is the egg of the ferocious dragon earlier?" Kraftvoll worriedly replied.

"It is fighting with the bandits now, so we can get the egg without it getting angry to us. I want a baby dragon as my seishin beast."

"B-bu-but!" Kraftvoll stuttered as he replies to Belle's unreasonable command. He thought that it is more reasonable to run to the earl without any burden to them.

"Just follow my command!" Belle replied with a cold gaze in her eyes. Seeing that Belle's firm decision, Kraftvoll couldn't contradict the lady's decision.

Kraftvoll grabbed the egg and the two of them continued their run from their pursuers.

After two ran away for a few minutes, the dragon started to overpower the three bandits.

"This can't be!" The most powerful of the three was overpowered by the vicious dragon.

"First bro and second bro, let's use our full power to kill this dragon! We can't afford to underestimate this beast." said the third bandit while panting because of the exhaustion that built up after fighting the dragon.

The other two nodded in response to the third bandit. They started to envelop their body with seishin auras. Each of them has their own unique aura.

The eldest bandit has a vicious aura with the color of red which means that he is a practitioner of the fire element. While the second bandit envelops himself into a blue aura which only means that he is training in the water elemental path. The last bandit is a practitioner of the elemental path of the wind, which is the reason why he enveloped himself into a green aura.

The three bandits started to gather all their seishin at one point. All of them started chanting to produce their own special seishin attack.

The eldest bandit started chanting, "I order thee, extinguish all those who oppose me, fireball!" At the same time, the other two chanted their own spell. The second bandit chanted, "I command thee, overwhelm those who oppose, Ice Bolt!" while the third bandit chanted "I instruct thee, strike those who are against me, Wind Blade!"

All of them are in the general seishin rank, which is why they have their own special seishin attack.

The three bandits combined their greatest seishin attacks toward the dragon. A ball of fire, a bolt of ice, and a blade of wind hit the dragon at the same time. A cloud of smoke started to envelop the area as a result of the combined attacks of the three bandits.

"Did we kill it?" the third bandit asked.

"Don't let your guard down! There's a chance that it survived our attack." The eldest bandit answered.

The three bandits are observing the area enveloped by smoke carefully when suddenly the dragon emerged and started to viciously attack them. The dragon killed the third bandit instantly by the terrifying slash of its ferocious claw. The third bandit was not able to defend because he exhausted all his seishin in the previous attack.

"Retreat!! We already exhausted all our seishin. We can't afford another clash against this annoying monster." the eldest bandit commanded. "What about the mission to kidnap the child of Earl Blake?" asked the second bandit. "This mission is compromised as soon as we encountered that wretched thing! Let's back down for now!"

The two remaining bandits escaped while the dragon was busy feasting the remains of the third bandit.
