章 24: The Foreign Magical Energy

After Kai had gotten his decision to leave Britain, he did as he planned and left the large island of Britain. While he was running through Austria he felt a sudden surge of magical energy coming from his right.

Kai stopped immediately. He tried to sense it with his newly developed long-distance magic [All Seeing Eyes]. The spell allowed him to see everything in the direction he was looking at, of course, there was a crucial limit to the spell: the large amount of ME that was required to look at the normally unseeable location.

Due to Kai being able to see ME in his surroundings he could use the spell as a medium to see ME as well. Kai slowly poured his ME into the spell while activating his runic eyes at the same time.

In the beginning, his runic eyes could only be used when he poured magical energy into his eyes. However, when Kai had managed to hunt a random A class magical beast he had found in the Scottish Highlands, the blood orb that had been so quiet for such a long time awoke.

The orb actively absorbed the blood while creating a huge stir inside of Kai. He had blanked out and then fainted while the orb had transcended its original limits and created a phenomenon that would shake the current reality.

Kai was happy to finally be able to dream and sleep. Even though he didn't know that he was dreaming in his dream he still felt instinctually that what was happening inside the dream was indeed not real.

The dream that Kai had dreamt about was being with his family and enjoying a camping trip that he had once done in his teens. He himself had hated the experience, but now that he looked back he was glad that he had done so.

After the orb had finished its evolution, Kai woke up. The first thing he heard when he awoke was Harry's voice that was filled with sadness and nervousness, that kept incessantly asking Tom when Kai would wake up.

Kai later found out from Tom that he was enveloped in a large cocoon made of hardened blood-like liquid. After Kai examined the orb, he later found out that the orb had changed in a drastic way.

In the beginning, the orb had looked like a small red glass marble, but now the orb had grown to twice its size and in addition, it had deep red coloured liquid moving inside of it in a wavy motion like a small sea.

Kai learnt that the orb could release the red liquid inside of it in the shape of thin lines. With these lines that Kai had named blood strands, he learnt that he could use the strands to substitute the ME that he had so he had an extra source of energy.

The downside was that there were only an extremely limited amount of strings provided by the orb. However, Kai learnt that the strings had a 10x the concentration of energy that ME had.

However, Kai had learned from the dream that deep down inside of himself the subconscious desire that he had hidden from himself, was in fact that he wanted to return to his family on earth. Even with all these pleasures and interests such as magic and power, Kai knew that he couldn't lie to himself and knew that even with all the power in the world, if there was no one to share his joy with, there would be no point in having such an existence.

Back to the present. Kai tried to see what was inside the large surge of ME. But Kai was shocked at what he saw. Inside the magical energy, there was a writhing mass of blood coloured ME.

The red ME had a dark and sinister light to it making it appear demonic and savage. Kai had never seen such an occurrence throughout his entire time on the HP world.

Kai tried to reach out to it with his own ME to try and understand what the mysterious ME was. As Kai approached the ME, he broke past the layers of ME that were barricading it.

The closer he moved towards the red ME the more resistance he felt until he reached the last layer of pure ME. There he reached a stop Kai couldn't advance any further without using at least 20% of his power.

But as he got closer he could see the red demonic ME wasn't in the form of the normal ME. It had its own basic shape compared to the regular formless ME that was found in the surroundings.

The form of the blood coloured ME was that of a gaseous sinister looking western dragon. Kai was shocked at the true form of the different ME, it actually had the characteristics of an actual dragon. But it was common sense that dragons couldn't use magic.

So how could a dragon create ME that could turn into his own form? Kai was shocked and distraught he thought back to the time when he met Bathilda and remembered that there are creatures that are much more powerful than he himself is.

He then recalled that Bathilda never came afterwards, he wondered what she was doing now. But back to the draconic ME, he had to find out what was causing it and how to either harness the energy for himself or destroy it so that it wouldn't create any problems for him in the future.

Especially now that Kai had discovered his new goal in life: to return to his parents. Now if a normal person was to hear his heartfelt wish, they might scoff at his goal. Because why would a vampire progenitor want to meet his own mortal family now that he had power and authority.

He could be called a demon, a monster that wouldn't hesitate to slaughter anything that would stand in his path. And although Kai had been hardened after 4 years of hunting magical beasts and he wouldn't hesitate to destroy anything that stood in his way he still craved parental love and affection.

Kai returned to the present from his thoughts and tried to break the last protective layer that stood in the way of him and the draconic ME. Kai slowly applied more pressure to the layer causing gradual cracks to appear.

The ME that was no longer a gaseous state, but a partial liquid had shattered into countless wisps of gaseous ME that left the area.

Kai no longer had anything barring him from the draconic ME and extended his hand in the direction of the draconic ME. But the draconic ME had realised that it no longer had anything trapping it and instantly sprang forwards at speeds that only Kai could reach.

Usually Kai would be able to react to beings that moved at these supersonic speeds, however, this happened to be the first time that Kai actually met a being that could move at supersonic speeds. Because of his surprise, the draconic ME drilled into his body and started to devour his own ME!

Kai didn't know how to react at first but then instinctually caused his ME to fight against the invading force. But unfortunately, Kai's ME couldn't fight against the opponent and was devoured.

Afterwards, it tried to find more energy to devour and found a blood strand that was trying to return to the blood orb. It then started to follow the strand, racing towards it all while Kai couldn't do anything to stop it!

章 25: A Stronger Enemy

The draconic ME started to follow the strand, racing towards it all while Kai couldn't do anything to stop it. He could only watch helplessly while the invading force hunted the strand that continued to race back to its source: the mystical blood orb.

The draconic ME followed the strand like a panther stalking a helpless deer while it didn't know that it was leading the predator into the hidden sanctuary.

Once the strand entered the blood orb, the draconic ME stopped outside like it had intelligence and looked at the blood orb in wonder and admired the orb.

It stopped for a moment and Kai hoped that it would leave his body. Unfortunately for Kai his wish never came true and instead the invading ME pounced on the orb enveloping it in the foreign ME.

The blood orb instantly started to defend itself by using a reflective field using a strand as the fuel to protect itself from the invading energy.

Eventually, the blood orb's defence was pierced, and the ME greedily started consuming the ME from the original creator of a person's ME: the soul. The blood orb used another strand to expel the invading ME from Kai's body.

The draconic ME was repelled from Kai's body with a large invisible explosion, causing it to land on the ground. Kai looked at the draconic energy and was surprised and scared of the changes of the draconic energy's changes.

The first and most eye-catching was the fact that it was no longer pure ME, it had a corporeal body. The size of the dragon was merely 2 meters long and 1 meter tall, however, that didn't stop it from having a terrifying aura.

The aura gave Kai the feeling of seeing a god or devil, with such an intimidating feeling the space around the newly formed dragon had started to be destroyed simply by his presence being there.

The dragon looked at Kai with interest but seemed to have something more important to do so he reluctantly left Kai and touched the ground.

The ground split creating a huge hole and the little dragon jumped into the large hole without hesitation. After a few moments, Kai tried to sense the dragon but he couldn't anymore so after a few moments of hesitation he decided to leave due to him being completely helpless before the dragon's terrifying might.

While Kai decided to leave, the dragon had finally entered its lair. It passed the countless mountains that were part of its lair and entered the main chamber.

[Now the people that are going to say that his lair is underground and therefore can't have mountains, there is an explanation later so please wait patiently.]

It declared with a loud echoing roar "You won't be able to keep me locked up anymore, I will finally restore my power and get my revenge. This world will feel the wrath of I Dahak after being locked up inside this chamber for the last 11 millennia!"

The dragon known as Dahak looked at the enormous chamber big enough to fit a complete city and laughed. Inside the actual chamber the there wasn't any decorations, it was completely bare with the exception being the extremely large pitch black scale that had an unnatural red coloured molten lava flowing through it lay in the middle of the chamber.

Dahak moved towards the scale and looked at it with a crazed glint in his eyes. 'Once I absorb the energy from my reverse scale I will be able to regain 50% of my power and then only gods will be able to stop me.'

"Bahahaha" Dahak cackled madly with his head raised to the ceiling. He climbed onto the scale and embedded his claws into the scale and started to absorb the pure draconic energy that was hidden inside the scale.

The dragon's original light red scales started to glow with a pitch-black light and slowly changed into the same colour as the scale.

Above ground

Kai left the area with sour thoughts. He felt ashamed of the fact that he was beaten without being able to resist at all. Kai continued to think of the way he was beaten so miserably causing himself much mental anguish and suffering.

After coming to this world, he had thought that he would be invincible. When he was warned by Bathilda, he didn't take her words seriously.

The immediate power gain had caused him to disregard any consequences that he would experience in the future, and now that he lost he understood that he should be more cautious.

After he calmed down, Kai tried to understand why a dragon would appear in the middle of nowhere. When he couldn't think of a reason why such a powerhouse would appear so suddenly, he got on another train of thought: why would this dragon be so powerful?

Kai had fought and killed other dragons and they were extremely weak compared to him. He could kill them easily, they were extremely merely A- class beasts compared to the rest of the A class magical beasts.

'So, let's think of a reason why a dragon would be so different compared to the rest of their kind. The first reason could be that it mutated and gained the power to absorb ME and become much more powerful, an ability similar to my own trait absorption. But that doesn't seem to be what happened. He was originally energy and then turned corporeal, therefore he was pure energy before gaining a body. But at the same time, he had intelligence.

Another option could be that he was a dragon leader and he gained a unique ability from his bloodline, due to dominating the rest of the dragons.

The third option is that he gained the ability from a special material and has been rapidly absorbing other creatures' strengths. But how powerful could he be from gaining normal woodland animal strengths? He wouldn't be very powerful maybe a C class at most highly unlikely.

The fourth option is that he is a remnant of an ancient dragon that has been alive for thousands of years. Kai considered this option and thought that it was very likely.

The fifth option would be that he is an ancient dragon but was defeated and was on the brink of death but survived and has slowly been regaining his strength. That was also a very possible option.'

If Dahak could know what Kai was theorizing he would applaud him on his close guesses, but unfortunately, his theories were nothing compared to the real truth.

Kai continued to try and come up with reasons why Dahak was so powerful when it hit him he didn't know where Bob was.

Kai tried to call out to Bob using their mental link, but unfortunately, it was to no avail. Bob couldn't be found. Kai continued to call out to Bob but couldn't‎ find him.

Eventually, he gave up on calling out to him and decided to try and sense his location using their connection. After less than a second Kai found Bob.

The large feline was inside his body! Kai examined his body but didn't find anything that would indicate that Bob was with him. He commanded his runic eyes to activate when he felt no change.

Kai continued with the command and much to his dismay and panic he had no magic energy whatsoever left in his body!

I've gotten a comment by Blood King69 saying that Kai is soft for wanting parental love. I would like to say that Kai is a psychopath and you can't judge him by common sense.
