Bab 9: First Flight
Looking at Yggdrasil's majestic form, the upbeat young man couldn't help but smile in joy as he comes to appreciate his job as the one to take care of and guide this dragon even more, his developing sense of camaraderie towards this species making him want to go and hunt that Soaring Steel Eagle even more, no longer due to the desire for revenge but rather due to that reward he will get, another dragon that is not only going to accompany Yggdrasil here during the time he is outside, but also for him to nourish and help growing as well.
Meanwhile, the wood dragon immediately let its head down the moment it finished showing itself off to the person it respects the most, urging said person to sit on its back as it showcases him the way of how dragons usually travel, soaring high in the sky and shooting in the air like lightning, leaving a massive sonic boom on its path due to how fast they are.
Before he accepts the young dragon's invitation though, the upbeat young man uses the appraisal feature of the Dragon Herding System to display the information of Yggdrasil once again, something more than just its stats surprising him as soon as he saw it.
[Yggdrasil]
[Race: Dragon (Wood)]
[Adolescent Stage]
[Cultivations]
[Magic: Light Red Core (Combat power at Light Orange Core)]
[Body Tempering: Late Skin Refining (Combat power at Late Muscle Conditioning)]
[Elemental Affinity: Wood]
[Skills: Draconic Blessing (One-time use, already consumed), Draconic Scale, Absolute Regeneration, Life Breathing, Dragon Roar, Dragon Claw]
[Overall Combat Power: 4-star]
Reading the information pasted on the gray floating screen, the upbeat young man couldn't help but get quite surprised knowing that Yggdrasil grows by two sub-levels not only on Magic Cultivation but also on Body Tempering cultivation, not to mention the numbers of skills that pops out from its information screen that is not there just last night.
Clicking on one of the skills displayed on Yggdrasil's information screen, the upbeat young man starts hissing as even though he is now pretty much aware of how absurd dragons are, he still fails to take into account just how much more absurd they can be.
[Draconic Blessing (One-time use, already consumed)]
[Description: Binds a single individual to the dragon, granting said individual the power of the dragon that grants its blessing, the individual's strength growing along with the dragon as the two of them increase cultivation, also grants the affinity of the dragon to the blessed individual along with its skills, the skills functioning with reduced effectivity in the blessed individual unless certain conditions are met. A skill known in all True Dragons]
[The shared skills are retroactive, meaning that all the skills acquired by the dragon after it bless an individual will also be received by the individual respectively]
[Additional Facts: Nearly all of the dragon to ever die doesn't even give their blessing during their entire lifetime, causing such skill to be lost in history as the only ones to ever receive it are hunted by the populace in order to find out the secret to acquire such grace from the mighty, god-like creatures]
[Draconic Scale (Passive)]
[Description: Passively hardens and enhance an area about to be attacked within the body of the dragon using this skill, providing a tremendous boost in defense of the dragon, can also be used as an offensive skill, acting like a battering ram. A skill known to all True Dragons]
[Absolute Regeneration (Passive)]
[Description: A skill unique to the dragons that branched from the Prime Dragon of Light, provides the possessor of the skill with an unparalleled regeneration that can withstand and recover from even the harshest of attack so long as the user and possessor of the skill has enough mana to sustain it. Also passively enhances a dragon's physique.]
[Life Breathing (Active)]
[Description: A skill unique to the dragons that branched from the Prime Dragon of Light, granting the possessor of the skill the ability to breathe life, heal and even boost the vitality of the target it used the skill on, the amount of buff received from this skill scales with the increase of the user's mana control ability]
[Dragon Roar (Active)]
[Description: Opening its mouth, the dragon lets out a terrifying sound that shakes even the firmament itself, instilling not fear, but terror to the enemy's heart, that even the bravest heroes are incapable of dispersing by themselves. Instills the effect fear to the targets within a certain area, disabling them from moving or just doing anything else. This effect depends on the difference of strength between the user and the target, as well as the difference of their mental fortitude. A skill known to all True Dragons]
[Dragon Claw (Active)]
[Description: Enchanting its claws with its draconic magic, the dragon's primary weapon aside from its breath is enchanted even more than before, turning into a terrifying cold weapon in battle capable of piercing through even the toughest of barriers through its sheer sharpness and force alone. A skill known to all True Dragons]
Reading each of the description for each of the skills that Yggdrasil acquired, the upbeat young man starts laughing maniacally to himself, the fact alone that this skill will also be shared with him causing him to rejoice even more, his current action prompting the young Yggdrasil to tilt its head in confusion as it watches is father and liege laugh to himself.
Not wasting any second, the upbeat young man then joyfully jumps towards Yggdrasil's back, the young dragon immediately roaring through the sky as it feels its most respected person sitting on what it thinks is the most rightful place for him, the young dragon's wings spreading wide and covering everything beneath with shadow as it starts flapping, the air generated from a single flap of its wings enough to sway the trees in their surroundings.
After just a few more flaps and winds howling as they get higher and higher, the duo finally soars through the skies, the speed they are going with something that even the fastest beast tamers of the same level of cultivation and strength as them could only ever dream of achieving, their trails becoming so long due to how fast they are moving, a mystery as the young dragon's body definitely weighs so much that a normal building will collapse under its step.
Feeling the cold winds of the high sky brushing through his skin, the upbeat young man couldn't help but laugh to himself as he feels even better than before, never in his entire life had he feels so liberated and free when compared to this moment, a moment that will forever be etched in his mind.
"Higher Ygg, let's go higher!!" holding the wood dragon's horn, the upbeat young man said with excitement filling his shaking voice, the very same excitement being conveyed and coursing through the young dragon's entire body as well, prompting the two of them to smile as they reach higher and higher into the skies, getting closer to the seemingly impregnable barrier of clouds.
Roaring to reply to its most respected being's request, the young Yggdrasil flap its wings even harder, its speed increasing once again as they soar further, the two of them completely uncaring whether they will be hit hard by the barrier of clouds.
Shooting through this barrier, the two of them feels even better as the cold water droplets from the clouds brushed pass their skin, what is supposed to be something so painful to a normal human being something quite enjoying and refreshing to the upbeat young man, who also possesses the Dragon Scale skill of the dragon race now.
Breaking past the barrier of clouds, the young dragon spread its wings widely as they glided while watching the rising sun, already way past the horizon as it cast it light all the way from up above, painting the skies with its perfect blue, and up to down below, revealing the beauty and color of the land they live in.
Having experienced something that not even the greatest beings of the kingdom, or possibly even of the entire continent can only dream of, that is riding a dragon, the upbeat young man couldn't help but feel a bit sentimental, once again thanking that Soaring Steel Eagle from somehow dropping him to where he will get this extremely fortuitous encounter, yet despite his gratitude, he still prepares to completely eradicate the beast that nearly put him to death out of the face of the continent.
After gliding for a while as the two of them talks with each other, sounding really weird given how he is talking in human tongue and the young Yggdrasil just roaring through each of his words yet somehow one way or another still understanding each other, the upbeat young man decided that it is already more than enough time of play for the two of them, the young dragon immediately roaring even more excitedly as he asked it whether it wants another dragon as a friend.
