The ancient Dragons' will

Arriving at the field, Celeste and Elizabeth saw their friend standing in a circle of extremely hot red fire that was burning everything around.

The grass and everything around, even rocks were already burned and melted by a fire that was around two meters high, looking like dancing elves.

This fire was produced by a blade of an ancient-looking sword that had two eyes made from big red rubins set in its handle, held by Isobel who stood in the middle of this flames, wearing a red armor made from dragon's skin that had an enormous resistance against the heat and burning properties of that dragon fire.

"What is she doing?" asked Celeste with questioning eyes.

"I don't know" Elizabeth answered who had the spot around her eye that turned into dragon's blue skin a few minutes ago already healed.

"Isobel!" shouted Elizabeth while she jumped and landed inside the fire circle, forming a cloud of grey dust.

"Stop destroying everything around!" she continued when the dust settled, revealing her blue armor that appeared out of nowhere. The armor looked similar to Isobel's, but only color was different, shining under the blood-red moonlight.

Isobel looked at her with her eyes that had irises made from orange flames and had the shape of a dragon's while touching her body like she was bathing in the heat of her flames.

"Hah, it was a long time since I was out of that fucking prison," she spoke while ignoring what Elizabeth said.

"You know" she spoke and looked at Elizabeth.

"Being locked too long in that stupid sword is not good for my health. I needed some fresh air," spoke Isobel while her voice contained a weird corruption. It was like her voice was mixed with some demonic tones that didn't belong to her.

Hearing this, Elizabeth jumped at Isobel and flew with her through the flames. Pining her on the ground with her foot, she quickly stood up and placed her feet better on Isobel's chest while summoning her dragon spear out of thin air.

"Release her or I'm going to kill you for good Fenrax" she spoke and aimed the tip of her spear at Isobel's neck.

"You can't kill me because if you do, Isobel's soul will be forever locked in that fucking sword!" spoke the dragon with a shit-eating smile and pointed at the sword that was lying inside the circle, uncontrollably releasing big amounts of flames.

Elizabeth thought for a minute and understanding she didn't have any other choice, she asked.

"What do you want then!" with a cold voice like an Arctic wind itself.

"I saw in her memories that another dragon was born a few days ago. We want to meet him."

Elizabeth's and Celeste's eyes narrowed when they heard that. Looking through someone's memories is one of the dragons' bad habits and strongest weapon. They can pull out your worst memories and use them against you.

They are something like ancient psyches.

Ismael has done it to Elizabeth a few times already so she knows how painful it is and Celeste knows that feeling very well too.

For Elizabeth, it felt like someone opened her head and looked for something inside her brain with their bare hands and Fenrax is an expert in this kind of matter.

"Why are you interested in him?" she spoke with caution and narrowed eyes.

"Because he has the potential to become our new king. The strongest from our race, our old king died a long ago, you already know that." spoke the dragon with a smirk and disdain.

"Because of a missing leader, we became an easy target. Then you, Vampires, stole this land from us and I was captured by the hands of Isobel's father when I tried to protect it. He later freed me and let me die at the hands of Isobel's husband."

"And?" Elizabeth asked.

"AND? You three killed numerous dragons and even locked the souls of us three in these weapons to give them more power, later making contract with us to empower your bloodlines and give you the power of elements."

"Why are you talking so suddenly about the past?" asked Celeste while walking to Elizabeth's side. Her body is covered in dragon armor too but it looks like two armors were combined. 

Gold and white colors were mixing because of her and the daggers' powers were fighting for dominance.

She can control air and her sister controled lightning. These daggers previously belonged to her until she died and Celeste gained them until Claudia was strong enough for them to use. That's why her armor is acting strangely.

"Because what I want is a new body for me and my brothers plus we want to reestablish our race again!"

"We want bodies that only a new dragon Progenitor can give. I saw that boy's potential is big, and we want to refine that potential more. We don't want to serve you like weapons anymore."

"Our contract with a timeline of two thousand years is slowly going to end in five days don't you remember?" Fenrax spoke seriously from Isobel's body that helplessly lay on the ground under Elizabeth's foot.

Suddenly "So what about a deal? We know you need our help and we need yours. If the contract ends and we do not have a body, our souls would be destroyed and you three don't want that, right?" spoke Ismael from Elizabeth's spear that glowed in cold, blue light.

Elizabeth's eyes glowed blood red as she understood that she and her friends would lose their elemental powers if the dragons died and their bloodlines would be on the same power level as normal Vampire nobles!

The Vampire nobles have only 'normal' powers like super strength, speed, and other stuff so the three would become normal Redwilnet citizens and lose their position as Vampire Countesses.

The Countesses don't have the power of their own like their daughters who were already born with them.

Instead, they made a deal with these three ancient dragons to empower their bloodlines so they could receive the Count title.

"Fine," Elizabeth said, removing her spear from Isobel's neck.

"Good choice" smiled Fenrax and got up.

"In exchange, we will help you in the battle against Werewolves. It seems like your king is not what he was two thousand years ago right? He is more selfish, thinking he can be neutral against every war forever. A mindset quite foolish for a ruler like him," Litherax spoke with arrogance from Celeste's daggers as golden lightning started shooting around her.

Celeste nodded and Fenrax swapped his place with Isobel's soul.

"Don't forget, you have only five days" he spoke before Isobel gained her consciousness back.

"Hah, Christopher" sighed Elizabeth, unconsciously speaking her son-in-law's name as she looked towards a red moon that was hanging above her.

"Please... We need you. Come back to us." she spoke with tears coming from her eyes.

She didn't think that someone like Christopher would become so irreplaceable to her.

Imagining what would happen if they lost their political position, she shuddered.

Their houses would be ruined as their and their daughter's bodies would become someone's pleasure toys.

Their daughters might have elemental powers but against someone three thousand years old, they are nothing.

Well, this world belongs only to the strongest. Only those are right and without power, the Countesses can't protect their daughters and even themselves.

[... Aragos ...]

Inside the carriage that had its windows enveloped in darkness, a man between two beauties that were sleeping on his shoulders with bite marks on their necks was sitting comfortably while enjoying the silence through their ride toward one of the four Lords of this hostile planet he is stuck on!

Anna, who grew in height reaching now 180cm was almost drooling while dreaming about her and Christopher while Samantha was smiling like a psychopath.

'Cute~' Christopher thought when a sudden noise made their carriage slow.

'Well, this sweet silence can't last too long huh,' he thought.

"Hey, stop that carriage and give us everything you have!" shouted a male voice from outside as the carriage stopped.

"You didn't hear our leader?! Do it!" spoke another male voice as the four vampire warriors that were sent by Lord Cravensworth himself got down from the carriage and pulled out their swords.

"Hah, this guys again?" spoke Christopher in a low tone and got up.

He picked up Samantha like a princess and laid her body on one side of the carriage while placing Anna on the other. Then, he covered himself with shadows and left the carriage.

"Ohhhh, brave knights of that Cravensworth piece of shit? You are going to die tonight if you don't follow our orders you know that?" spoke the leader of these bandits and pulled out his two pistols.

"Hahahahaha~ I don't think so" laughed and spoke the demonic voice of an entirely dark being with blood-red eyes that appeared between the bandits and the knights, facing the bandits.

"What the fuck is this shit! A Count Vampire here?" spoke the leader and quickly shot six wooden bullets from his pistols at the being, all of them hit the target.

'Wooden bullets? Am I a Dracula for them?' Christopher thought.

"That was a bad choice" spoke Christopher as his appearance changed to normal and he spit the six bullets at the leader's head, killing him on the spot.

The other seven bandits shuddered in fear and started running like rabbits.

"Hahahahaha~ why are you leaving so soon guys" spoke Christopher with madness glowing in his eyes and lifted the bandits in the air as if he was using a telekinesis.

Their bodies started being absorbed by him as their flesh disappeared, and only skeletons remained that turned into dust after falling on the ground.

From the dust, seven purple souls left and flew towards Christopher. The same happened with the leader, except that his soul left the body and only after that his body disappeared.

"These worms are pretty irritating" spoke Christopher as he turned and formed a horse from his dark powers.

The horse didn't look much alive as its eyes were missing and only blood was seen in that spot. But, even without eyes, the eye sockets were glowing with a dangerous glint as Christopher got up and spoke to the knights.

"How long?" as his hair, black as night started flowing in the air like a mighty warrior's.

The knights shuddered and spoke in unison "We are almost there Lord."

"There it is" spoke one of them and pointed towards a silhouette of a castle in the distance.

"Fine, get up and move. I don't want to deal with this shit anymore" spoke Christopher and disappeared with his horse in a trace of shadows.

The knights got on the carriage and sighed in relief as they suddenly heard Christopher's voice in their minds a second later.

'You have ten minutes guys. If you are not going to be there or my beauties wake up from your reckless riding, you'll all die. Got it?'

The knights shuddered and started riding the carriage like their life was at stake. 

Well actually, it was.

Christopher smiled at their reaction from a hill that was near them and formed a barrier around the girls so they didn't wake up. He just teased the knights.

Turning his face at a statue that stood behind him he smiled in excitement.

The statue resembled a giant serpent and in the middle of its chest was craved a rune, the same as on Christopher's chest.

'Hmm~ I wonder who is this' he thought.

["After these two days of traveling, your control over darkness became more proficient. What happened?"] spoke Ardelean inside Christopher's mind.

'The more stronger I'll become, the sooner I'll go back to Earth. That's what happened.' he replayed.

'I understood something important that I was ignoring before.'

["What is it?"] Ardelean asked.

'The darkness inside me is constantly battling against my previous self. I'm no longer a pathetic human nor truly a white mage and that's what I ignored.'

'I was still acting like a human which was blocking me from my destined progress! Now, I let the darkness affect me and make me become what I needed to be from the start.'

'I need to become the darkness itself.'

["Interesting but true"] Ardelean said as Christopher pulled out the purple dagger he gained from the Darkness and thrusted it inside the serpent statue, turning it to the side like a key.

'Transfering essence' spoke the female robotic voice of the darkness system.

Immediately, Christopher's darkness wings appeared from his back and big chunks of shadowy black energy began to envelop the statue.

After a few seconds, the essence was transferred, and the rebuilding process started.

Another minute passed and the serpent in front of him that was twenty meters long was covered in cracks until-

*BOOOOM

-Christopher punched the stone and when the dust settled, it revealed a living serpent with purple eyes and dark purple skin.

"Hello, my friend. Surrender and serve me or die and become my food. The choice is yours," spoke Christopher as he pointed the tip of his sword at the serpent's left eye while pressing his foot against the serpent's nose.

The serpent hissed in anger but then stopped as if understood something. With wide eyes, it circled around Christopher and placed its head on his feet.

"Good choice my friend. What's your name?" he asked.

'Hissami Sentemi' spoke the serpent with signs of female tones in the ancient forgotten language of dark riders that lived on this planet before the Light royalty came here and turned them into stone statues.

Christopher studied this language because it appeared on his planet too. At least six thousand years ago.

Plus, he already found one of these types of statues in the past two days. The statue of the dark horse from which he gained the dark horse he summoned before.

'You are a female?' Christopher raised his eyebrow.

'Yes master' spoke Hissami.

"I'm giving you your title back as now my second general. I need someone I can trust and I saw you were pretty loyal to the previous Darkness" he spoke with a voice full of authority.

The serpent's eyes glowed with purple light as her body glowed red and in the next second, a beautiful Japanese girl wearing a dress made from snake skin that had dark purple color was standing in front of him.

Her hair, sharp nails, lips, and eyes were purple too as her skin was white as snow. She resembled a beautiful woman in her thirties, about 195cm tall.

Her body was perfectly balanced. Her ass and boobs were not too big too. Only D-cup but the most beautiful feature of her body was her long legs.

Suddenly "Long time no see Hissami" spoke a shadow that appeared behind Christopher.

After a second, Hissami could see a muscular man wearing a red leather warrior's armor with red bandages hiding his bleeding eyes, and in his left hand was a beautiful red-bladed katana hidden in a sheet which was a gift from Christopher.

"Hi, Merener" spoke Hissami, using the same language.

"It was a good choice. I feel my master would make big changes on this planet" spoke Merener and stood quietly on Christopher's right, a little behind of course. He can't stand next to his master, he thinks he's not worthy of it.

Hissami sensually walked in front of Christopher and placed her hand on his left cheek.

"I know I made the right choice" she hissed at Merener as her eyes turned snake-like and her teeth sharpened.

"Master? You said previous Darkness? What happened to the old one" she asked with caution.
