Arthur's Abilities(II)

"Yeah…" Arthur's eyes flashed with a brilliant light. [This ability alone is enough to ensure that ill be strong in the future.]

Korva leaned back into his chair and asked. "Is that all the abilities you have?"

"No, I have two more, [Time] and [Space]." Arthur looked at his hand with a frown. "Although I have them, I can't use them."

"Time and Space…" Korva nodded his head and explained. "Its not like your other abilities that are passive, these are going to require you to research and practice to use them."

"Yeah…" Arthur sighed. "I guessed that was the reason."

"Alright, now it's my turn to explain to you about our dragon race." Korva stood up from the throne and walked outside the palace.

[I guess he wants me to follow?] Arthur rolled his eyes and quickly caught up with Korva, then followed him into the palace's garden.

Korva stopped next to the fountain and turned around to face Arthur. "Alright, first tell me what you know about dragons from your world, then Ill explain what's inaccurate and fill in the blanks."

"Where do I start…" Arthur held his chin in his hand. "Dragons can fly, shape-shift, breathe fire, they also have powerful bodies."

"Well…" Korva nodded his head with appreciation. "You did better than I thought you would. But…" He shook his head. "… that's only the basics of an ordinary dragon. We are not ordinary dragons…" He puffed out his chest with a smug smile on his face. "… We are Cosmic Dragons!"

"Cosmic Dragon?" Arthur looked at Korva in confusion. "Why did you look like a normal dragon earlier?"

"Ugh…" Korva blushed for a second, then returned to normal with a cough. "That because after my body died, I lost all my cosmic energy."

"Alright…" Arthur forcibly made his face normal without a smile and asked his doubts. "Why don't I feel different? Am I not supposed to have a super powerful body? Although my body is stronger, its only compared to normal humans my age."

"That because you're still a baby so to speak." Korva raised two fingers and explained. "There are two types of origin blood." He lowered the second finger. "The first one is where they get immense strength from start, but its hard and almost impossible to get stronger." He raised the second finger. "The second is where they get almost nothing at the start, but can get stronger as they grow with hard work."

"That makes sense." Arthur nodded while secretly sighing with relief. [Next time I need to be more careful…]

"Okay, back to the Cosmic Energy." Korva pointed his finger up. "Cosmic Energy, as you know, comes from the cosmos in space like the planets and stars. But…" He shook his finger back and forth. "You don't have to worry about this for a long time."

"Why?" Arthur felt like he couldn't keep up with Korva.

Korva shook his head. "It requires an incredibly powerful body to hold cosmic energy and precise control to manipulate it." He looked into space with a nostalgic look on his face. "It took hundreds of years of hard work before I could control a small strand of it."

"Lets focus on the basic abilities of a dragon." Korva glanced at Arthur with a smirk.

[He must not have much time left…] Arthur secretly glanced at Korva's increasingly more transparent body for a second, then responded with a smile. "Okay."

"Shape-shifting is one of the easiest abilities of a dragon." Korva shrunk down and changed into Arthur's appearance and said in Arthur's voice. "All you have to do is visualize it in your mind and you can change into it."

Arthur visualized himself at twelve and his body shrunk, changing into a twelve-year-old boy with golden blond hair covered in an adult sized black robe.

Korva's eyes flashed with amusement and suggested. "Now try to transform into a dragon."

[Dragon, huh…] Arthur closed his eyes and visualized a coal-black dragon that gleams gold depending on the angle with his wings marked with the crimson red symbols he saw on the [Chaos Gate].

Korva watched in amusement as Arthur slowly shrunk down into a pug sized dragon.

[What the?] Arthur looked at Korva in question, wanting an explanation.

"It's because you're too weak." Korva understood and explained. "The stronger the strength, the bigger you can become."

[What a strange feeling…] Arthur flexibly moved his wings.

"Try flying." Korva sat down on a bench next to the fountain and suggested.

[Flying…] Arthur flapped his wings and slowly lifted off the ground while trying to keep his balance.

Ten minutes later, Arthur quickly flew around the entire palace, then stopped in front of the fountain.

Looking at the fragmented black robe on the grass, Arthur asked Korva. "Do you have anymore robes?"

"Yeah, inside the room across from the one you took a shower in, you will find more there." Korva waved his hand impatiently. "Be fast."

Arthur left as a dragon, and a few minutes later returned as a human wearing a black robe.

"Alright, now the last one is breathing fire." Arthur sat on the edge of the fountain, facing Korva.

"You can't breathe fire without Cosmic energy." Korva waved his almost transparent hand. "Come here."

[He's become even more transparent…] Arthur sighed and walked in front of Korva.

"I don't have long left…" Korva calmly raised his transparent hand and pointed his finger in between Arthur's eyebrows. "This is how you can take control of the palace after I'm gone."

Feeling something extra in his mind, Arthur closed his eyes, working hard to remember everything.

"I guess my time's up…" Korva sighed as he slowly transformed into specks of light and disappeared.

When Arthur opened his eyes, they flashed with a mixture of emotions, looking at the empty bench in front of him.

Although he hasn't known him for long, and he was using him to get his revenge, Arthur couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Rest in peace, Korva." Arthur looked into the deep chaos and clenched his fist. "Ill definitely get revenge for you…"
