Red and Blue

"Hahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahaha"

Maniacal ravings of a mad man tore through the dimensional gap.

A wild fiery red-haired woman stood the void laughing.

"Good show, really good show kid, I'll give it a 5 out of 10"

"Why so low?"

A second voice, a boy, responded.

"Low? That is already high in my book. I rarely give evaluations higher than a three"

"Yeah yeah whatever. You and your bulshit standards. I just penetrated the heart of a dragon king. Not many people can say they could do that" the boy retorted.

"And that's why I gave you a 5, idiot, if you were weaker and managed to do that, I would have given you a 6" The red-haired woman wasn't slow in responding. As if she had already been used to this kind of conversation with the boy since a long time.

*sigh*

"So anyway, can i ask one question? " said the boy.

"Go, ahead"

"I'm not hallucinating right now because I'm having a near-death experience, right? You are in the form of a woman, right?"

"Meh, a little while ago, Ophis showed up in a new form, which made me realize that I've never actually taking a human form before, so I decided to try it. Just because."

"So the great True Dragon decided to take on a human form, just because?"

"Just because" She-The great red dragon god responded with a simple answer.

"Okay but...why that form?"

"What? Is it bad? I couldn't choose so I took a form based on your dreams."

"No. A million times no. Rather, it's perfect. A perfect ass to breast to waist ratio, not to mention that wild look with that crimson hair.

I think you could actually give those goddesses of beauty a run for their money"

"Ha, of course. I'm the greatest after all. I'm the best at everything I do". Completely unashamed, the great red goddess arrogantly pats herself on the back.

"Anyway, how about that project we were working on, any news?"

"Oh, The Crystal Wall? it's complete. The entire planet has been surrounded in a dream barrier that automatically filters out and prevents anyone from the outside from locating or entering this planet without my permission. Any unauthorized attempt to locate or enter this planet will automatically reroute the intruder into another dimension far from here at random. For all intents and purposes, from the outside, this planet, no, this Solar system is a dream that does not exist. Even if that being would be a god greater than I, he will be no small feat to get in here". The dragon goddess explain with great pride as if to describe an accomplished work of art.

"Awesome."

With this, they wouldn't have to worry about getting invaded by those machine gods in the future.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Suck it Rizevim, you colossal fuck. "

laughter resounded throughout the void for a while. Then, the two continued their usual conversations until it was time for the boy to return to where he belong.

"Looks like it's time to go, see you later my friend" said the boy.

"See you later my friend" said the dragon.

"--Hmm"

When I awoke, i was still in the cave where I was fighting with the Dragon King.

"-"

"Don't move around too much, your wounds will open again. "

" ! "

When I tried to get up, I was restrained by a female voice heard by my side.

Surprise, I quickly turn my head towards the voice. There, was a naked beautiful woman with blue long hair and indigo eyes .

――An exhibitionist? No, are you a Shotacon?

Oh, this is dangerous. I'll be horny!  I'm an open book in regards to these things you know. I can't control myself. Poker face! Poker face! Poker face!

"Muh? Oh, that's right, this is the first time you've seen me in this form. Hora, Tiamat is the name, the dragon who you were fighting with just a little while ago."

The beautiful woman sprouted a pair of blue dragon wings from her back.

――No, I already know who you are, your identity is not that important anymore, the main question is why are you naked?

"Oh, why am you alive? [Under normal circumstances, I should have died from blood loss.] That's what you're thinking about, right? "

――But why are you naked though?

――Anyway, can you turn around? I need to get a rear view.

In fact, although that much blood loss is extremely dangerous, I do have several fail-safes in place if I were to really die.

Well, so long as my body is still intact, that is.

No, wait, you aren't angry that I broke into your territory??

――Ah, thanks for turning around. Hmmm... 8.5 out of 10.

"Look at the back of your left hand. the reason for your survival lies there"

Hmm? My left hand --- what about it?

What appeared before me was truly surprising. You better do it in my left hand, was a blue diamond-like jewel.

This blue Jewel, I feel a great amount of aura. Not just anyone's aura, but the aura that belongs to Tiamat.

"What is this?" I asked.

"That, my dear boy, is the crystallization of My blood and power that was scattered around during the previous fight. Specifically, part of my destroyed heart.

The wound you gave me itself has already been regenerated by my own ability, but I took the leftovers and embedded into you in order to facilitate regeneration and restoration of blood and life force"

Huh. ――so Is it safe say that u have been embed with the power of a dragon king?

Will my body be okay after this? I'm not going to explode and collapse from the inside, right?

"But there's a part I don't understand... I don't know why, but you seemed to have a high affinity with my blood, we matched without any rejection. Rather, its assimilation was perfect enough that part of me was imprinted onto you. Turning you from the Bune's fake dragon imitation, into a real half dragon now."

"Long story short, it can be said that form a certain viewpoint, you're technically my son"

I listen to her bombshell laced words in silence.

A second mother, huh?

No wait, wouldn't she be my third? No maybe fourth? If "that one" is also added to the list.

"You may need training, but in using that stone in your arm as a medium, you'll be able to use part of my abilities."

Eh, really!?  this is an out-and-out protagonist strengthening flag, isn't it? Ah, no wait, I have another question.

"Up until now, although I'm of the bune lineage, I haven't been able to fully transformed into a dragon. Just a humanoid half dragon. Do you know anything about this?"

When it comes to my bloodline, I apparently fall into the category of being incompetent in its usage. I've never been able to transform fully into a dragon, and I've yet to meet any surviving members of the Bune lineage that i could ask about it.

"Ho? That's easy. That's because you guys need to make a contract with a dragon every once in awhile in order to truly tap into that power. But at the end of the day, it's still a fake transformation into a fake dragon. But no matter, with my blood flowing through you now, you no longer need to worry. You are officially a dragon now."

I breathe out a sigh of relief. one problem that has been plaguing me for a while now is now out of the picture

He, hehe, Hahahahahahaha.

My dreams of clawing my way to the top bracket of this world has now become even easier.

"Oh, you came to the forest to find a familiar? Hmm, that's going to be a problem right now. In the previous battle, the various small fry in the area either died of shock or decided to flee far away due to the aftermath of our battle that caused our aura to spread everywhere around the forest."

Ah, she's right. I can barely detect any biological signatures within hundreds of kilometers.

What really surprises me is how fast these guys can run.

Well, their lives did depend on it. If not for the fact that the cave arena we were fighting in was partially a different space, our battle would have reduced everything within hundreds of kilometers to ash.

And this is us not using much magic either, most of our fight was just purely physical.

Battles of ultimate class and above are like battles between sentient nuclear bombs. You do not want to be in the area when it happens.

The anime doesn't do it justice enough, I can see why those guys at Satan class and above rarely fought and left everything to Rias & the Gang or did so in alternate spaces.

The collateral damage from their fights would be apocalyptic.

I'm already at the level where I can readily stink japan into the bottom of the ocean if I used several of my best magic.

*Sigh*

"What a hassle."

Now, I'm either going to have to track them down or wait until they've come back out of hiding and returned.

"How about you sign a contract with me?"

――― What? With you? A Dragon king?

"No, wait, is that okay? I'm allowed to do that?!? I'm not even a high-class devil yet"

For the time being, I'm still considered a mid class devil. Primarily for the fact that the main house of Bune is pretty much destroyed, and I'm from a extended branch family.

At least, from a social point of view, I don't have the proper status to have a dragon king serve me. Not that I'm scared of anyone, it's just that it's going to cause too much noise if it's known. Especially amongst the dragons.

"It doesn't make much sense to worry about such a thing. The rule of this world is power first. Anyone got a problem, kick their ass. it's simple as that. You "defeated" me after all.

Also, I wouldn't mind contracting with a future Satan."

"A future Satan?  Who are you talking about? Me?"

Surely.....

Although one of my main focus is to reach Satan class and above in terms of combat power, I never actually put much thought into actually becoming a Satan.

"Your society is a meritocracy, is it not?. I think it's reasonable because you have the appropriate bloodline and ability."

" in the first place, those four managed to become Satan's based on their abilities, didn't they?"

It's a high evaluation.

But... from what I understand from watching sirzechs, that all sounds like a hassle to manage.

Well, we'll deal with it when we get there.

"Anyway, lets make a contract.--- so, what's your name?"

Hmm? Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet

"It's Linnaeus. Linnaeus B Chandraneel. Future Super devil for the sole purpose of becoming the greatest Harem King. And you shall be the second official member of my harem."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA～～♪"

Hearing my introduction, she burst out in laughter.

"Harem king, is it? Is that what drives you to gain strength? Better than most I guess. Linnaeus. My name is Tiamat, ask me again."

When the two named themselves, the jewel on Linnaeus shined for a moment.

Wha--? Where did Tiamat disappear to?

"I'm in here, let's say bringing you back actually cost me a lot of energy. So I'm going to sleep in here for a while"

I hear a voice from the jewel on my left arm.

-----eh? Isn't this just like...

"I feel like imitating those two bastards for a while, so I'll lend you some power from inside here."

Then the voice disappeared along with the glowing brilliance of the jewel.

····Really. What a hassle.

<Grayfia>

The young master went to the familiar forest to find a familiar.

That's good.

The Young master is taking his first steps at being a proper devil.

It stands to reason that he should find one or two familiars suitable for him by himself, rather than having one's picked out for him like what the children of other aristocrats usually do.

So there should be no big deal with whatever he brings back

――Unless the contract partner is Tiamat who is a Dragon King.

According to Tiamat, it seems that they signed a contract after a fight to the death in which she technically "lost".

Also, aside from being his familiar, she'll also double has a teacher

········ ?

·····················?

··································································?

Hold on... a minute....

..... Isn't my position in danger?
