Chapitre 7: Knight
---Day 1---
Today was the first day we started our training Tiamat started it by teaching me the basics of the Chaotic Dragon arts. It was a type of martial arts that Tiamat created herself.
The martial arts utilized her superior strength to overcome speed and reflex barriers. In short term, she would hit things hard enough for them to not get up.
Chaotic Dragon Arts were very similar to the Exploding Heart Release Fist. Both techniques relied on the raw power of the user to create an opportunity to end the fight in a single strike.
---Day 40---
Today I finally finished learning all the forms of the Chaotic Dragon Arts. While training the art along with the Exploding Heart Release Fist I got great insight into both of them.
From now on it was time to learn about Magic. Despite my knowledge and affinity for magic, I was a total beginner in its practical use, because I used all of my time meditating or training my body's physical limits.
Tiamat on the other hand was very knowledgeable about magic, with her teaching and my aptitude it should be easy to grasp it.
---Day 45---
I was finally able to fluently cast magic but due to my untrained mana reserves casting spells that do damage was very difficult. I had to start from the beginning.
In the morning I trained my martial arts, in the evening I trained to expand my magic capacities, and during the night Tiamat taught me the spells related to affinity.
---Day 65---
All the basics of magic were down, now it was time for me to just learn it the best way I knew, through battle, from morning till evening Tiamat and I would battle using only our magic only during these sessions did felt any true growth in magic.
I could feel myself more connected to the wind and the world I felt I could do more, much much more.
---Day 70---
The food that had already been cooked and preserved had ended with everything gone my only source of food was the beasts of the wasteland. Tiamat said that she could survive without food for years making it normal for her to have no meals.
Catching and fighting the beasts of the Wasteland was rather difficult they had adapted to sneak attacks from the underground making it almost impossible to find any prey above the surface.
'Where the hell are they...I didn't even get any food from this week's pack all I got are iron maces'
'A scorpion?'
'No, it's a spider!'
'Wait why tf is it like 40 meters!'
"Huh!? it's rushing towards me? Looks like I just got some lunch!" Arakan said with a grin as he got in a stance and he too rushed towards the spider.
---Day 72---
I woke up back in Tiamat's cave apparently the spider was one of the mutated creatures that were created by the wasteland. Even Tiamat herself didn't knew that spider's origin.
She called it the 'black calamity' due to its nature of melting any being in its way. It even came to her notice that the calamity was able to absorb mana from the being.
I made a vow to myself to take it down for the humiliation suffered from the battle. With the vow in my heart, I started training my mana capacity to its peak.
---Day 103---
For the past month, I trained and trained and trained my body to its peak by sparring with Tiamat. While her initial knowledge of the martial arts was rather low we both benefited from this session.
I managed another breakthrough in my martial arts as I was finally able to combine the Water Streaming Rock Smashin Fist and Whirlwind Iron Cutting Wind to create the Whirlwind Water Stream: Cross Fang Dragon Slayer Fist.
It was a mouthful I know but it was the best I got. I was also finally able to unlock the Monster Cell ability of Garou's Soul Card with that many new options were added as well.

---Day 312---
I did it...I finally managed to match Tia's strength and skills to some degree and managed to bring hits that can make her bleed. She seems to get a little bit in my personal life but as long I get stronger it is alright.
I also learned that she knew how to look apparently if cooked correctly the beasts of the wasteland tasted rather good. After having a hefty meal we said our goodnights.
---Day 315---
Today was the day I set out for revenge against the spider. Tiamat informed me about another Dragon that lived near the junction of the wasteland and Familiar Forest the Dragon had the ability to cast illusions and should be around the level of the Black Calamity.
So I set on my search to look for the dragon to see my current level of strength. After waving Tia goodbye I set out on my journey.
---Day 327---
I finally reached the shrine where the Dragon was supposed to reside in. It was sealed by a couple of Tori gates. According to Tia the dragon was rather mischievous and would often prank the Shinto faction enraged they imprisoned it here.
'So this is it huh? Dragon of Illusion here I come' Arakan thought to himself as he rushed towards the Tori gates using his strength combined with his mana he destroyed them and released the sealed dragon.
Mist surrounded the area as Arakan could sense the sheer mass and height of the dragon.
"It is our first meeting...I am Arakan Barbatos apologies but I will be slaying you now" Arakan said as in a burst of speed he appeared above the dragon's head and karate chopped it to the ground.
"YOU DARE DISTURB MY PEACE AND STRIKE ME!!"The dragon yelled as it thrashed around madly using its large body in an attempt to strike Arakan. However, Arakan had already grown over to those pesky tricks and grabbed the Dragon by its tail.
"LET ME GO YOU INFERIOR BEING!!" The Dragon shouted but Arakan gave no words and started to spin the dragon around. With a final spin, he released the dragon towards the wasteland and then continued his assault.
'I am unable to grasp that human's memories to manipulate him he has some sort of psychic resistance. His raw strength and speed to surpasses mine! How did a devil get this strong!' The dragon questioned in its head.
"I thought that the Dragons were all strong beings but it seems that you are just another scrub in the ocean!" Arakan yelled as he provoked the Dragon.
"OUT OF MY SIGHT!!"The dragon roared as it released a giant wave of flames toward Arakan. Not even giving it a second thought Arakan dived straight into the flames.
"YOU FOOL!" That was all the dragon could say before Arakan come out of the wave of flames unharmed and bashed its head. Since all the mist disappeared Arakan was finally able to see the dragon's appearance.
The dragon looked like a typical eastern Dragon with black and sky blue scales scattered throughout its body in a beautiful pattern.
"Now perish!" Arakan yelled as he went for a Diving Knee strike towards the dragon that laid on the ground.
"WAIT! WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS!!" The dragon yelled desperately as Arakan's figure came closer and closer. Just as Arakan's knee was about to connect with the dragon smoke covered the entire area.
Using wind magic Arakan blew away the wind only to find a naked woman performing a dogeza. She had her hands stretched out with her head on the ground.
The woman had long Sky blue hair that covered her back and pale skin. She had great body proportions and her beauty could be compared to Tiamat.
"Turning in a human form and kneeling before me...you are boring," Arakan said as he released a heavy sigh of disappointment.
"Please don't slay me! I have been sealed for centuries and this is the first time I have seen proper light don't kill me off so soon!" The woman begged.
"I see in that case from now on you are going to be a member of my peerage do you accept," Arakan asked as he pulled out a Knight piece.
"I observed that you have rather great agility when compared to your other abilities so from now on you are going to be a knight," Arakan said as the dragon stood up showing all her glory to Arakan.
The evil piece started to mutate as it assimilated itself inside the woman making her a half-dragon and half devil.
"Here take this" Arakan said as he threw a set of Kimono towards his new knight.
"These are..." The dragon questioned as she finally realized that she was naked the whole time.
"Umm...Thank you" The woman said meekly as she managed to put on the kimono after a few little difficulties.
"I realized I never got your name," Arakan said as he cupped his chin.
"It has been so long since I talked to anyone...I have long forgotten my name" The woman said as she looked at the ground with sad eyes.
"Is that so... from now on you are Kasumi yeah that suits you" Arakan said as he patted Kasumi.
"Thank you so much!" Kasumi said with teary eyes and hugged Arakan tightly.
--- Day 348 ---
I and Kasumi have been traveling for a while but there was still no sign of the so-called Black Calamity. I learned a lot more about the past of the Shinto Gods and Kasumi although the details were still filled with holes it was interesting to learn from someone who lived through that era.
I also gave Kasumi the Shisui apparently she knew how to use Katana...a little bit. Her mastery over the blade was little to none she said that she felt a connection with the blade. Maybe I too should look for a weapon that I can use freely.
--- Day 354 ---
Within my vision, I finally managed to see it, the Black Calamity.
"Oi Kasumi you are not ready for this yet turn into a dragon and observe from the skies," Arakan commanded as Kasumi nodded and flew to the skies.
A vortex of darkness originated near Arakan's abdomen and then slowly spread throughout his body. Withing the vortex Arakan start to transform into his monster self.
His hair receded as a black coating covered his entire body with a few cracks that let out crimson flares giving Arakan a menacing look. Taking a stance he waited for the calamity to approach him.
"Come at me!!" Arakan roared as the calamity came closer and closer.
