CHAPTER 48- Dragon Heart activated.

CHAPTER 48- Dragon Heart activated.

Time ago.

Kei walked up to a homeless man and offered him a hamburger.

"Are you hungry?"

"Eh? Can I take it?"

"Of course."- Kei said smiling.

The homeless man took it and smiled back at Kei.

"Thank you very much, young man."

"You're welcome."

Cris took him by the arm and pulled him.

"We will be late for the cinema."

"It's true. Goodbye Sir."

They walked away from him.

Cris invited him to the cinema. His friends wanted to get close to Kei.

Two pretty girls accompanied them.

"Weren't you starving? You said you were very hungry, Kei."

"I'm hungry, but not that hungry. Don't worry, Cris."

Kei is a boy who is willing to sacrifice his own happiness for others. When he can, he helps. He does not consider himself a hero, but he is not a villain either.

Kei is a kind and good boy. A boy who does not deserve to suffer ... But sadly, now he is suffering ... And too much.

"Is that all you can do ?!"

Nero hit Kei's stomach with her knee.

Kei vomited blood and Nero tried to cut off his head.

Kei jumped up and kicked Nero's sword.

Nero dropped the sword and flew off.

Kei landed and walked away from her. He was trying to regain some energy.

He had injuries all over his body and his right eye was destroyed.

He could barely stand and Nero was unharmed.

"It's only been 3 minutes, Kei. Can't take it anymore? Pathetic."

Kei's legs started shaking.

"Fuck..."

Nero's right arm turned red. Her arm turned into a Slime tentacle.

"Let's get this over with!"

She grabbed Kei from the body and he tried to lift his sword.

He didn't have the strength to do it… There is nothing he can do.

"Hey... The students did nothing wrong ... Please don't hurt them."

"You didn't try to escape or give up ... You earned my respect. I will not kill them ... For now."

Nero jumped along with Kei and started spinning. That was a huge leap. It was possible to see the whole forest from that height... A fall from that height is fatal.

"Bye, Kei!"

She began to descend rapidly as she continued to spin.

"Magic of resistance ..."

Kei's body is surrounded by small red rays.

"80%"

Meanwhile, Mei was playing with her classmates.

They were all having fun ... Until an explosion interrupted their fun.

In the distance, in the forest where Kei was fighting, a burst of wind knocked down dozens of trees.

The burst of wind was directed at them.

"Ice magic!"

A huge ice barrier appeared in front of a teacher and the students quickly approached her.

The trees that were blown up by the explosion collided with the barrier.

The teacher was trying too hard to maintain the barrier.

"What's happening?!

"A magical explosion! A monster is near! We must get out of here!"

"Wait, Kei's not here, we must look for him!"

The wind disappeared and the teacher sighed.

"We don't have time. We must go."

"I'm not leaving without my ...!"

The teacher punched Mei's stomach and knocked the air out of her.

"I'm sorry, Mei."

Mei fell to the ground unconscious and the teacher carried her in her arms.

"Let's go!"

The students and teachers began to escape ... Except for Drin and Grisia.

"K-Kei ..."

"Darling..."- Drin thought.

Ignoring Kei's order, Drin ran into the forest.

Seeing her run, Grisia decided to follow her.

"Kei, I hope you are well."

•

•

"Wow... What did you do?"

Nero was watching as Kei slowly got up from the ground. He was in a huge hole... He survived Nero's attack.

"My special magic ... Magic of resistance ... It allows me to resist powerful attacks."

Kei's entire body was surrounded by small red rays. His eyes turned red like blood ... He looked... amazing.

He looked cool and powerful.

His eye regenerated and some of his wounds disappeared ... But he was still seriously injured.

"I still don't control it completely ... But I present to you my new power. "Kei red mode"."

"Red mode? Ridiculous name. Can't you think of something better?"

"That's perfect for me. When I use this power, the pain disappears a little and my energies return ... Although it has side effects, that's why I don't like to use it."

He puts himself on guard.

"Now let's move on ... Eh?"

He realized that he did not have his sword.

"And my sword?"

"Do you mean this sword?"

Nero picked up Kei's sword from the ground.

"The form you use is called: "Perfect Magic Control". When you manage to control that power, you activate a special magic. There are different special magics. Magic of resistance ... Defensive magic. Offensive magic. Speed magic. There is also a legendary magic called: "Time magic". You are interesting, Kei ... Sadly, now you will die."

Nero picked up momentum and she quickly made her way to Kei.

Drin and Grisia arrived in time to observe the attack ... But they don't have time to help Kei.

"Goodbye."

Nero pierced Kei's chest with the fake Dragon sword.

She destroyed Kei's heart... Kei and Drin know what that means.

"Kei!"

Grisia started crying ... Drin returned to her human form. She was crying and furious at the same time.

"Darling!"

Nero simply smiled.

"If your heart is destroyed, you cannot use magic. You cannot use healing magic. It was fun while it lasted. Good bye."

Wow, wow... I feel cold ... I'm dying... Everything moves in slow motion ... Nero is smiling ... I lost again ... I guess I don't have what it takes to be a protagonist. I'm a loser... Sorry, Zius ... I failed you. Girls, take care ... I will miss you girls... Mother, father, Mei ... Thanks for taking care of me… Maids ... Classmates... Teachers ... Thanks for everything... Luna, I don't know who you really are, but thanks for keeping my secret ... Charlotte, Bandia, thank you for saving me.

It's my end ...

"Kei!"

"Darling!"

Drin ...

I slowly turn my head to look at her ... She's crying. Sorry, Drin ... Sorry... I didn't make it ... I am a failure ... An idiot... Grisia, thanks for being my friend ... Thanks for your friendship. Mei, you remind me too much of Nia ... Thanks for taking care of your silly brother ... You are the person I will miss the most.

Goodbye everyone... Good bye.

[Divine power unlocked. "Dragon Heart" activated.]

"Kei, if you accept this power, there is a possibility that you will change or die. There is also the possibility that this power will accept you completely. Do you agree to use it?"

What? Is Zius talking to me? What is going on?

"You have 5 seconds to live. There's no answer. Emergency activation. 50% of the total power activated."

What...? My conscience ... Everything fades ... I am sleepy... Very sleepy.

"Drin, now it's your turn, traitor!"

Two huge Dragon wings came out of Kei's back and hit Nero.

Nero flew off and Kei roared.

His eyes turned black and his pupils were red.

All his injuries completely disappeared.

"K-Kei?"

Drin and Grisia were confused ... Grisia, because of the surprise of Kei's supposed death, completely ignored that Kei's cat transformed into a woman.

She knew that had happened, but she didn't have time to ask Drin why she turned into a woman.

"Darling..."

Kei rushed to Nero and began to beat her with his fists, which were surrounded by fire.

Kei wasn't talking ... He just roared. He looked like a stray dog defending his food.

He looked like someone wild and evil.

"H-he lost control."

"Control?"- Grisia said confused.

"His magic power is out of control ... His body is taking damage ... He does not accept his magic power ... If he continues like this, he will die."

Kei placed his hand on Nero's face and smashed her head against the ground.

"W-what happened to you ?! You're not supposed to use magic!"

Kei pulled the sword from his chest and his wound disappeared.

"Impossible!"

Kei kept hitting Nero and she was melting.

"Impossible! My human form! What are you doing?!"

Nero was unable to maintain her human form and turned into a Slime.

"No!"

Kei fell to his knees and began to vomit blood.

"S-shit! What's happening?!!"

Nero tried to escape, but an ice barrier appeared in front of her.

Kei roared and grabbed Nero with his hands.

Nero's body began to freeze.

"No! This is not supposed to happen!"

Nero froze completely and Kei started laughing.

He left Nero on the ground and began destroying the forest.

"Darling, stop it! You won!"

Drin ran up to him.

"Please, darling, come back! You will die if you continue like this!"

Kei smirked devilishly and ran over to her.

"Kei, come back!"

Kei tried to hit her.

Drin did not try to dodge the attack.

"Darling!"

Kei stopped before hitting her.

"D-Drin ...?"

Drin hugged Kei tightly, while still crying.

"Go back to normal, please! I do not want to lose you!"

"Normality...?"

Nero unfroze and tried to attack Kei from behind.

Kei reacted in time and caught Nero with his hands.

"H-how?!"

Kei used Nero as modeling clay and began to shape it.

He shaped it into a spherical shape and Kei smiled.

"You are a Slime, after all. My hands are burning, but you can't melt my hands. I am protecting my hands with ice magic, the second weakness of the Slimes."

Kei picked up momentum and threw Nero into the air.

He raised both hands and smiled.

"Drin ... Thank you for your help... By the way, Grisia discovered us. Explain the situation later."

Kei began to create a huge sphere of fire.

Ice began to appear on the sphere.

The sphere now has half fire and half ice.

"I'll use all my magic on this ... Infernal sphere! Winter Sphere! Explosive combination!"

Kei threw the sphere at Nero.

In midair, Nero watched the sphere and cursed Kei with all her might.

"Desmolfer will kill you, you damn ...! Desmolfer, I failed you ... I am sorry."

The sphere impacted with her and exploded. That was a huge explosion. No one would survive that, much less a Slime.

"I did... it... Drin, do you remember the cliché of the protagonist who is about to die? That just happened. I don't know what..."

The wings disappeared and his eyes returned to normal.

Kei started vomiting blood and disabled his red mode. He went back to normal... But his body suffered the side effects of his red mode. His arms and legs exploded.

"Darling!"

"Kei!"

Drin and Grisia tried to help him.

"Drin ... Take me far... I don't want Mei to see me this way ... Grisia ... Trust in... Drin ..."

Kei collapsed and Drin carried him in her arms.

"I need your help. Come with me."

"Y-Yes."

Meanwhile, in Godfer, Fravi was looking at a photograph of Kei. She was flushed and excited.

She was in her room... And in her room she had pictures of Kei. Kei drawings. Kei-like stuffed toys in human form. And even a huge pillow shaped like Kei and identical to Kei.

"Why didn't you die, Kei ?! I want to have your soul now! I want you to be only mine! I don't want others to have you!"

And yes, Kei became Zius's replacement for Fravi.
