Further Integration

'Did it change in response to Vali-chan's own draconic power?' Jun asked.

'That is only part of the reason. Your battle to the limit stimulated your Dragon Factor and the fact than your opponent also possessed draconic power catalyzed this reaction and made it much more intense.' Ahsaka explained.

'Coming here was the wisest decision I made.' Jun thought to himself.

After eating with Valia and returning to their housing, the parted to rest in their own rooms as Jun brought up his status as soon as he was alone.

Ascetic (B)

Breathing and Walking (E->D): As a result of dragonification, the user approaches the state of being of one that is close to the World, thus making it easier to come upon the ideal form of Breathing and Walking. At D rank it grants truly superhuman physical abilities and energy efficiency.

The user can naturally draw in Mana from the world, covering part of their required sustenance and this connection to the world makes the enactment of Mystery through magecraft or other means significantly more efficient.

Due to the user's closeness to the world, so long as hostile intent is not exhibited, one's presence can be concealed at a level equivalent to a B rank Presence Concealment but without hiding one's physical traces. Any hostile intent shown by the user will immediately break this effect completely.

Magic Resistance (B->A): Cancel spells of A rank or below, no matter what High-Thaumaturgy it is. In practice, the user is untouchable to modern magi and even most of the common attack methods of Caster Class servants.

Dragon Kind Evolution (E->D): Further integration awakens more of the dragon's power laying dormant with the user.

-Dragon Heart (E->D): Although truly of the EX rank it is currently in the early stages of development and thus unable to show such potential. Can triple its output if fully engaged but will drain the user's stamina until it forcefully shuts down.

Can triple the user's magical energy output if fully activated and generates Od at an extremely rapid pace. Using it at full power can drain the user's stamina until the Magic Core forcefully shuts down.

-Dragon's Blood (D): Draconic blood flows within the user's veins. Increases the growth rate of physical abilities and the efficiency of physical reinforcement through magical energy, regardless of the method. The user can store magical energy in their blood for later use.

As a side effect, the user's blood becomes a prime ingredient for countless rituals and spells. Significantly increased the User's healing power as light wounds are healing in minutes and serious ones in hours if not mortal.

-Dragon's Aura (E->D): Boost the user's abilities and subdues Phantasmal Creatures of a lower ranking so long as their power does not surpass the user by a large amount, otherwise, it just weakens them.

Possesses a natural charm effect towards the opposite sex and a mental suppression effect towards the same sex. This is intensified for those of draconic lineage and even more to those of lesser Phantasmal Beast lineages.

-Dragon's Wisdom (E->D): Innate Knowledge of the wise Dragon Kind. At the D rank it grants one further increased mental faculties, an easier grasp of any magecraft and an innate and complete understanding of the Draconic Language which possesses inherent power similarly to runes.

Also grants one a natural grasp of any language so long as its grade as a magical language is equal or inferior to the Draconic Language. The user gains slight innate understanding of the Multiverse and the laws that govern it.

-Draconic Enhancement (E->D): Ranks up all parameters except Mana and Luck by one rank. Jun's physical parameters are rank D naturally but this passive skill makes them all rank C.

-Dragon Breath (E->D): A torrent of Magical Energy released by a Dragon, the strongest Phantasmal Species. It lacks an inherent element being pure destructive magical energy released as "heat".

The user's lungs turn into an environment close to a spiritual world, producing Mana by the mere act of breathing, thus increasing the breath's power while lowering its cost. Its destructive power rivals that of a C rank Anti Army Noble Phantasm.

The change in the user's lungs also results in faster magical energy generation and provides benefits to any other breathing skills.

-Dragon Burst (A+): Changed from Magic Burst (A). The Mana Burst skill natural to all those who carry a sufficiently powerful Factor of the Dragon combined with the user's optimizations by means of magecraft resulting in an extremely powerful yet efficient skill.

-Dragon Rage (A): Your draconic blood boils and your Dragon Heart beats wildly as rages takes hold. The user goes on a rampage with a + modifier being added to all parameters except Luck and all draconic skills. After this enhanced state runs out, the user will suffer a prolonged period of extreme weakness.

-Monstrous Strength (D): A Dragon's Monstrous Strength. Ranks up the strength parameter by one temporarily, as glowing veins like magical energy is pumped through one's muscles. At the D rank, this enhancement as a very short duration.

'A staggering change to say the least . . .' Jun thought as he observed his status.

'All of my physical parameters were raised and with Reinforcement I can get them to B rank. If I use Draconic Strength on top, the Strength parameter will rise to A and with Dragon Rage I will get a nice line up of A+, B+, B+, B+++ and EX.' He gleefully thought.

'I'll probably collapse with a colossal backlash right afterwards though . . .' He added with a mental shrug.

Then Ahsaka interjected with some advice.

'You should start thinking about developing your own Noble Phantasms. Create a unique skill or magecraft that is solely yours and slowly built it up to that level or gather treasures from this world and use the Akashic Converter to turn them into Noble Phantasms.' She advised.

'I can see the point of having an ability that can fully take advantage of my stats and focused them into a truly powerful trump card but why the focus?' Jun asked.

'Your abilities have reached a sufficient threshold for such an endeavour and Noble Phantasms are not just skill or items, but a part of your very existence and help affirming it, make it more solid.

'This would prove to be a major boon when you decided to open the first rank of your Scion on the Void Skill and truly establish a direct connection to the Root of Akasha.' Ahsaka explained.

'I see . . . Thanks Ahsaka, I'll definitely look into it . . .' Jun deeply pondered.

With his increase in mental faculties, looking to further improve his mental magecraft to up his research speed seemed like a great idea.

Jun also assigned one room to develop a spell he had previously thought of as an idea but never really put into serious consideration before due to lack of raw ability.

Additionally, now that he had a sparring partner, Jun felt that his martial skills would improve much faster and sparring with the holder of a dragon type Longinus ought to stimulate his Dragon Factor integration as well.

Furthermore, Jun started to concoct some plans to acquire treasures for himself. He had the means to make certain acquisitions but lacked the information so he decided to keep quiet for now.

A few days passed and Jun fell into a routine. Training, research, sparring with Valia. Everything was going swimmingly.

Having a live test dummy did wonders for both his combat focused magecraft and his martial arts, with progress incomparable to that of before to show for it.

All of this however, was interrupted as Azazel came to Jun to inform him of the progress of his two requests.

"Hey kid, how have you been settling in?" Azazel greeted.

"Great! the company is good too." Jun motioned to Valia that made a proud expression with a slight blush.

'I should privately thank him for becoming the target of Valia's sparring requests rather than my subordinates . . .' Azazel thought to himself, happy from his daughter's joyus state.

"Good job in your duties as a host Valia." Azazel praised her.

"But now I have some business to discuss with Jun in private." He added, making the silver haired girl pout.

"I'll catch you later Vali-chan." Jun consoled and off she went, feeling a little bit better.

"Valli-chan eh? Interested in my daughter?" Azazel teased.

"We'll see in a couple of years." Jun fired back, making the fallen angel's brow twitch.

"Let's get down to business then." Azazel moved forward.

"Couldn't agree more." Jun responded.
