Sugar, we're going down. No plagiarism intended.

As fast as he could, Eric flew with his little wings towards the end of the hallway. In fact, there was nothing but the window. Yet it was precisely what was outside the window that aroused his curiosity. Tiny Eric flipped to the window and basically glued himself on there. His eyesight was enhanced, at least being a dragon got that for him going.

What he saw in the far made him scowl and sweat at the same time. Archmages! These archmages were persistent and fast as hell. Didn't Eli say it'd take a while? Obviously, they didn't know the archmages caught up! Little Eric had to fly back to the control room to warn everyone. It was boring to go back and forth. How was he even going to convey it to them? Eli would think Eric got scared again or whatever feeble shit his fragile dragon emotions were made out of apparently.

"Rawr! Rawr! Rawr Rawr!"

"Howl, it's ok, don't be afraid. Come here."

Afraid your ass! Learn how to speak dragon! Why the fuck do I have to be able to speak human. Yes, it's you who should speak my language and lower yourself! Eric angrily jumped up and down in Eli's lap but it only trampled his dignity when Eli pinched his cheeks, "Cute baby. We'll beat those archmages up. It's fine. Are you hungry?''

Who the hell has time to eat? The archmages are already on your tai- BOOM!

"Captain! We've been hit on the rear! T-The archmages they-"

"What?" this time Eli was incredibly angry. How were the archmages so fast? Judging by the previous encounters, even if they used teleportation it wasn't possible to catch up in mere seconds!

"Use the fourth row!" the spaceship had several rows of weapons ranging from class F to SSS. The second row referred to Class A.

"Isn't that too low, we sh-"

"Do it!"

"Yes, captain!"

The spaceship and weapon were a bit different than normal space sci-fi. Of course, it came from the brain of a demon after all.

Eric watched several laserbeams and obviously, whatever it was, the beam went off and burnt the archmage to crisps. So level A was already this? Then what about SSS? You gon nuke this whole universe or what?

In the first place, why are these mages attacking them? Because a king was here? Were the mages and these people here at war? These people here definitely didn't have magic but used technology and weapons.

However, POOF- you thought we disappeared? We'll just reappear! Haha, take that sucker! Eric rubbed his eyes. Ok, mages were tenacious. That's not all! We used clones! You were fighting fakes all the time! Now the real us appear! Behold of our might!

Now, Eric's eye rolled to the back of his head. Alright, show us what you go-

I shouldn't have said this...

Eric's jinx caused him to want to cut his tail off! He was a dragon, a pet dragon, ok. But he should still have power right? He wasn't the MC's companion for nothing, right? Every MC's pet was strong as well or secretly OP! Lav come on! You better have written something like this!

In his anger, Eric did a somersault, then was out of breath. No, this wasn't gymnastics but Eric figuring out what power he had. Maybe if he moved a certain way, maybe he could breathe fire, maybe his tail slapped dirt... anything that came to his mind, abused for secret OP power!

Yet this sight was very cute in Eli's eyes, she caught Eric flying in the air and put him on her lap again. Then she stroked his head.

Hmpf, it wasn't like Eric enjoyed this soft sensation on his head but Eli seemed to have realised Eric's intentions and wanted to say something, that was why Eric became obedient. Not because he almost, subconsciously, turned to a pet enjoying pats.

"Howl, you want to help, isn't that so?" Eli's voice turned very gentle from her captain's one, "I'm also sad your power's sealed... you have to wait until we arrive and-"

Oh... wow... thanks for the explanation. Eric grinned. So he, indeed, was a proper dragon! His power sealed? Come at me, I'll take you all out even without any. But the problem was... right now, he really had no power!

It was sealed so how should he get it back? Think Eric, think! Use this dragon brain and dig up the memories! There should be something. Come on, don't tell me, I can't access this d'sragon memories or it didn't have one from the beginning! Now, what to do? Of course, press his brain and rummage for some more memory juice. Wihle Eric was thinking hard, the situation the spaceship faced took a turn for the worse.

A heated battle between the spaceship and the archmages went on! BOOM BOOM FLASH BANG!

Several parts of the spaceship received severe damages. It collided with oncoming flying stones and rocks back and forth. A terrifying experience for Eric who finally attained enlightenment. The dragon's memory. Eric finally recalled them! Hooray! But SWISH!

The ship made a sharp turn and even Eric fell to the ground. Dammit, just when Eric figured out Howl, the mages wanted to eradicate this ship and kill the king!

Not good! Because if the king was to die, Eric's power could never return! Why? Because that damn king was the one who sealed it! Since he couldn't control Howl's terrifying power! Howl was only loyal to Hans and only followed Hans' orders but now that Eric took over, he wasn't going to act like a brainless pet.

Damned king, wait for me! How dare you seal this almighty dragon's power with a 1000-year old crate cube that only existed once and when it was destroyed, would never reappear!

Yes, basically, the king spent a lot of effort finding this super-ultra-rare magic artefact to seal Howl's power because when Howl and Hans got separated and Hans was badly injured, Howl went berserk. Stupid dragon, you brought this on yourself!

After collecting and organising his memories, Eric followed Howl's knowledge of the spaceship's layout and found the room the king was in. Even in this dangerous situation, two bodyguards stood in front of the door, iron-willed, steadfast and not even moving a single hair while the spaceship swayed from left to right. Alright props to you guys, hope you get paid enough...

Eric played his cute dragon pet charm and behold!

"The dragon?" one of the bodyguards perplexed said.

"You want to go to his majesty? To protect him? Oh, who's a good boy, who's a good boy?''

The other, used to be a stone-statue, bodyguard come to life and treated Eric like a fucking damn dog! So this was how it was going to be, huh? Humiliation after humiliation! Eric, the best and most successful person on earth, treated like a pet and enjoyed belly rubs! The disgrace! Hmph! Aka-

"Rawrrrr!!!"

"Aw, such a cute boy! Such a cute-"

"Just stop it," the other bodyguard grimaced and couldn't watch the theatre for any longer, "Let it through."

"Him! It's a him!" crazy-pet fanatic bodyguard shouted and his eyes went out signalling reluctance to let Eric slip away from his pet-loving hands.

"Rawr!"

"See it wants to stay with me!"

"It rather wants to kill you. That's the impression I got."

"Nonsense!" the crazy-fanatic bodyguard kept deluding himself.

"RAWR RAWR AAA!"

"So cute!"

FUCK OFF!

Finally, after 1000 years of torture of being treated as a pet, Eric finally was set free and entered the room the king was in. Tsk, if Eric had to go through things like this one more time-

"Oh, the king's asleep-"

Pardon-

"Raw,rarararara rawrr!"

Just cut me some slack, ok? Eric rubbed his tiny dragon temples and looked at the king sleeping on a bed. Old geezer, I fucking admire your tenacity to continue sleeping even though the spaceship was making love with death personally. Damn, these are some strong sleeping nerves you have.

What pills do you take? Don't tell me you're actually dead. Eric flew to check the king's breath. Ok, he was still alive but this king looked to be older than Eric anticipated. He must be at least in his 60s.

Anyways, it didn't matter. This old king would die for all Eric cared. No, what if this affected the plot? Who cared!

Eric looked at this saving grace. The damn cube that sealed his power! Where is it? Just where? Eric searched heaven and hell out of this room before his view finally fell on the king.

At a specific place to be precise.

Are you... fucking kidding me???
