Chapter 40: Awakening of The Silver Dragon!

After a swift journey through the Howling Beast Forest, Dante finally managed to arrive at the entrance of the Kinsman Clan.

Due to it being late in the night Dante wasn't able to just walk into the Kinsman clan As he usually did but Dante wasn't really bothered about the delay due to his good mood from just stealing a precious resource from the heart of Slater clan Territory.

As he entered the clan, Dante headed straight to his compound.

Entering his compound he didn't enter into his room but instead decided to remain in the courtyard as he expected a scene to be caused by the awakening of his new dragon soul and if he awakened it inside his room a big mess would be made and Dante didn't want go through the hassle of having to clean up that mess.

Dante found a clear open space in the courtyard and sat down in a lotus position.

Now that he was prepared he slowly retrieved the chunk of Spirit Silver from his space pouch. The spirit silver was like a lamp in the night, illuminating the surroundings with a cool silver glow.

Taking a second to calm himself down, Dante stretched for his hand and touch the piece of Spirit Silver and this time he didn't just touch but instead imagined himself absorbing it. And right on time, an alarm sounded in his head

"Ding !"

"Silver Energy source detected! "

"Would you like to unlock The Silver Dragon ?"

Without hesitation, Dante quickly replied

"Yes !"

"Boom !"

As soon as Dante agreed a deafening explosion rang out while a humongous pillar of Silver energy burst into the night sky. The mystical radiance of silver was so blinding it could be seen all across Brightsteel City, Shocking inhabitants that were still outside as it seemed like the night sky had almost turned to Day.

Despite all this the people that were shocked the most had to be Dante's fellow members of the Kinsman Clan. Due to the close proximity to the burst of light for some unfortunate few, when the pillar of light erupted it was as if a flashbang had gone off in front of them leaving them temporarily blinded and dazed.

In a panic, several members of the Kinsman clan went out to investigate the source of light and ended up gathering outside

"That pillar of light… it seems to be coming from Dante's courtyard !" Said an onlooker

"Not just that, wasn't there a similar pillar when Dante awakened his original martial spirit, so do you think… "

But before that person could have finished speaking he was interrupted by elder Harrison

"Awaken a second martial spirit, impossible! Although there have been cases of people awakening one martial spirit after the awakening ceremony, Never has it been recorded that a person awakens a second martial spirit. Besides wasn't there a thunder cloud during his first awakening, for it to be another awakening would there have to be another thundercl.."

"Rumble! Rumble!"

But before Elder Harrison could continue speaking there was the deep sound of rumbling thunder as ominous dark clouds started to form over Dante's courtyard leaving the onlookers speechless.

…

Back to Dante, he was only just recovering from the flare of silver light that just erupted in his face as the closest to the ray of light he was also the person hit the hardest by the light rays. But just as Dante was recovering he looked up to see a group of ominous thunderclouds crackling with electricity.

"Oh no, not again…"

"Bang !"

"Arrrgh!"

A violent bolt of lightning struck Dante causing him to scream out in agonising pain.

But to Dante's dismay, the lightning strikes didn't seem to stop there but in fact, they appeared to be charging up for an even more devastating blow.

But Dante wasn't one who would just stand there and take a beating. Instead he prepared to resist with all his might

"Dragonification!"

"Roar!"

The roar of a mad Red Dragon exploded from Dante's body while a wave of fire surged towards his surroundings.

As this was happening, Crimson scales began to appear all over Dante's arms and legs forming a tight scaly armour as his hands and feet became clawed.

But his transformation wasn't over just yet as his figure expanded instantly becoming filled with rock hard muscles while two devilish horns grew out of his skull.

Tilting his head upward Dante could see the terrifying thunderbolt approaching and instantly his chest expanded as waves of fire element spirit energy gushed towards him

"Red Dragon Roar!"

"Roar!"

A terrifying roar sounded as a torrent of hellish flames blared towards the lighting bolt

"Bang!"

As the two berserk elements met they erupted in an explosion of opposing colours that shook the earth.

As if the heavens were angered at Dante's resistance the clouds above the sky seemed to expand as clouds turned from dark black into a deep blood red shocking the onlookers throughout the city.

"Those clouds… those are not just clouds of heavenly tribulation anymore, those are clouds of heavenly punishment!" Said an elder in utter shock

"Hahaha!" Laughed elder Harrison

"It's that little boy's fault for trying to defy heavens will, I told you it was impossible o become a dual awakener and own two martial spirits! I was right in the end, even if he was capable of awakening a second martial spirit the heavens would not allow it!"

While Elder Harrison was overjoyed, Dante couldn't be said to have been in such a good mood.

In fact, his emotions had started to run out of control under such constant life and death pressure his Dragon soul seemed to have a stronger effect on his mood resulting in his anger to continuously build-up, a common trait amongst Evil Red Dragons.

As this effect grew stronger Dante felt himself getting angrier at everything around him but most importantly he was angry at the heavens.

He was angry at the fact they kept trying to harm him, he was angry at the fact they were trying to restrict him based on some bullshit rules they had established and know that they were about to be broken, they started trying to destroy him for something so stupid.

Dante's anger kept growing and from anger came hatred, a hatred so strong it made him want to shatter the sky.

Dante looked up to the sky taunting "since you want to destroy me so badly, here I am, hit me with everything you have!"

"Crackle crackle"

As if to respond the loud crackling of lightning erupted as blood coloured electricity continued to build up in the clouds.

Not wanting to be outdone by even the heavens, a Roar came from deep within Dante's body causing the ground to vibrate as it could be heard all across Brightsteel city causing panic and fear amongst the civilians.

But it didn't finish there as a cloud of red mist burst from Dante's body slowly forming into a winged gargantuan Dragon. This scaled monster was packed with muscles towering above all buildings inside the Kinsman clan while its rage-filled eyes scanned the crowd of onlookers causing them to panic in fear as the bloodshot eyes of the Red Dragon were truly demonic creating an illusion of the dragon wanting to devour them whole.
