Currently, I am in the pool, but the twist is that the pool contains medicinal herb water. After engraving the rune circuit on me, she told me to take a dip in water. But I don't know which medicinal herbs are used, and I feel like I am being beaten by thousands of ants.
But I can sense that my blood is circulating too fast while my muscles, bones, etc. are reconstructing themselves again and again. But somehow I didn't feel too much pain because of Adaptation. It's a good thing I tested that gaining pain resistance will not degrade my sense of feeling pain; otherwise, It will become a problem for not being able to detect my source of injury. I think instead of adapting to the pain, I am adapting to be able to endure the pain. I hope I don't fall for the M side.
Anyway, I realised that my hair turned white and my eye became crimson red, but my horn has not popped out. I took out a crystal that Zephyr gave me to consume when I transformed a little, and she went to bring something. It was literally the size of my palm.
'Inspect'
[ETHER DRAGON CORE: Formed when the Higher Dragon dies and is willing to leave its core. It contains all the power of the dragon.
Function: ????????????????????????????]
This is too SUS. First, it is said that a Dragon can leave a core if they die, but why would they leave that when they will die anyway? First, the dragon can be resurrected from the core; then Why didn't Sanetha herself resurrect the dragon?
Second, she already knew about my meeting her before, and for some reason she decided to give it to me. But what will she get from it? And anyway, my institution is telling me to believe in her.
'BEELZEBUB' A dark smoke came in and consumed the whole core. I sat down and started to use my cultivation technique.
[The user bloodline and Ether Dragon core have formed a resonance.]
[Strengthening the Mana Vein, Blood Vein, and Lungs]
[Transforming Heart to Dragon Heart]
And as the time passed, I could feel that the Dragon Core had completely formed a stable connection with my mana vein, brain, heart, lungs, etc. Slowly, the Dragon Core started to transform my heart and make it more complex, but I could feel that my Mana recovery rate had increased exponentially.
[Acquired racial skill: PARTIAL DRAGONIFICATION, ETHER DRAGON FORCE, BREATH OF ETHER DRAGON]
Partial Dragonification: As the name suggests, I can enter into a partial state of dragonification, which is the form I used during the battle against Antares. Dragon Force is just like Super Saiyan mode, but for those who carry the Dragon bloodline. And finally, Breath of the Ether Dragon—there's no need for explanation; I can just spit out ether energy from my mouth like a dragon.
'Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr' Because of the transformation of my heart, the energy stored in my body is completely depleted, and I am feeling hungry. As I opened my eyes, I could see an annoying girl with a smug look.
"Don't worry, I, Zephyr Von Dragderon, am willing to share part of her food so that you can satiate your hunger."
Why do I feel like you only wanted to say this word? Anyway, the great Zephyr-Sama provided me with some fruits that are sparking too much. You're sure those are fruits, not gems in disguise. After eating a red fruit, I realised I had messed up. I could feel that my vitality was overflowing. I have to do some exercise urgently; otherwise, I will explode from high vitality.
I started with RENKAN KEIKIKOU martial arts and tried to use my chi to control parts of my body. As I kept trying to use my chi, I made sure to circulate vitality over and over to spread it around the body and strengthen every part of it by exhausting energy again and again. I slowly started feeling some vital points in my body that can help me digest faster, increase metabolism, etc.
Wait, I can feel the eight chakra points in my body. Shit, I really underestimated Renkan Keikiku, and these 8 chakra points are none other than the 8 gate technique of Guy from Naruto. I cannot open it now, but as I know its location, I can later open it with my chakra.
Other than that, I can feel many other meridian points opening, which improves my flow of chakra, Qi, etc. I observed one thing: my Chakra amount is measured by my spirit stats, but the greater my physical stats are, the more chakra I can use. As a chakra is a force that formed my mixture of physical and spiritual energy,
I cannot measure my Qi amount, but I can feel that it is attached to my vital energy now. Because of Yin-Yang cultivation, I can feel that my lifespan has increased, which might be due to an increase in Qi or vital energy in my body. And with this vitality fruit from Zephyr, I got an overwhelming amount of qi, and I saved myself by improving my body with extra qi to store that vital energy.
[Gain a new stat: Vitality]
Not only does vitality represent Qi, it also represents life force, Chi, and even my Health point.
[VITALITY: 7500 S]
Obviously, I have higher vitality because I have collected it until now and because I have eaten this vitality fruit. Anyway, my body is unstable with high vital energy. I then continued using martial arts, and after some time I practised Dragon Breath and comprehended many more attack skills from it. And then I continued with quickdraw practise and other stuff. I didn't feel any need for sleep, as I was too energetic. And I even kept talking with Chūnibyō Dragon about ether mana. The answer I got was that it is a higher form of mana in terms of purity and concentration. Besides that, she even told me about many things related to chaos and explained many things about mana. Overall, leaving aside her Chūnibyō personality, she is a good teacher.
[VITALITY: 6300 A+]
Finally, I am able to handle this much vitality; otherwise, I would have again died like in my past life. I found the Dragon grinning like an idiot while holding something in her hand, and somehow my institution is telling me to be careful of her, but as it is not that harmful to me, I ignored my institution's warning.
It's a pity that I can't use FUSION on Zephyr because of the large stat difference; otherwise, I would have become overpowered with only one of her skills. I suppose she can easily rival Great Red without being too childish because she has a higher form of mana, plus she is associated with the goddess.
"My Descendant, Amethyst Von Dragderon, may appear in front of me."
" (o_O)! Wait a minute, when Did I join the Dragderon family?"
"The moment you inherited the great Ether Dragon's inheritance, you belong to the Dragderon family."
Should I go with her flow? It would be better if I didn't make her angry; otherwise, who knows What might happen?
"Fine, What's the matter?" This time her temperament was too serious, like she was going to tell me an important thing.
"This is the final gift of mine, for which I made your body strong enough to endure it and drew the rune circuit." As she said that, a white flame came out of her hand, which was burning fiercely with silver thunder sparkling around it.
"This is a Heavenly flame made from my pure ether mana; it has properties of pure destruction and pure healing. And being my descendant, I am sure you can learn about its use. And make sure you only use it when you enter dragon mode, because it can only be controlled by Dragons."
And saying that she put her palm on my behind above the rune circuit. And the rune circuit started to spread all across my body with a white glow, and even my hair started to glow brightly.
"By the name of the Great Ether Dragon, Zephyr von Dragderon, grant you my legacy, which destroyed countless of my enemies, the Flame of Ether, to my descendant, Amethyst Von Dragderon, who will split the whole universe in my stead."
Was it necessary to say that line? And when did I decide to split the universe? Anyway, all is well when the end is well.
[Acquired Racial Skill: Ether Flame]
And after some time, she removed her hand, and with that, the rune circuit started to decrease, or, as I say, permeate and hide inside my skin till every trace of rune disappeared. And slowly, my appearance was also restored: Blonde hair with Amethyst eyes.
"I think your time to return has come. I hope you send this to Sanetha when you return there." She handed me some kind of box. I tried to peek inside with Haki, but I was blocked. I suppose it will only open with Sanetha's mana. I put it inside my inventory.
Before I could say anything, I was sent out of this space. F*ck you! At least you should have taken my confirmation before sending me out; after all, I have stripped my shirt so that she can transfer her power to me.

<ZEPHYR POV>
"Well, Intruder, your presence has been revealed to my eyes of destruction. May you come out before I destroy your very existence."
A white-haired, red-eyed girl appeared out of thin air.
"Your behaviour is still the same as my timeline."
I took out a photo and showed it to her.
"Oh, Are you the girl from the same timeline who is in this photo?"
