"Let's see... I have three days to do whatever I want and I hope this city has something fun to do, or I swear Kyōka's mother is going to be in serious trouble" - Cloud said as he squinted his eyes and walked around - "Hmm.... now I wonder what Asuna and the others are doing..."
Cloud quickly shook his head to push away his thoughts of the battle going on in Nangokuren, only to frown when he felt a familiar presence in the vicinity - "Why don't you come out to play, or did I leave you traumatized?"
"Quiet!" - exclaimed a voice he immediately recognized - "I just wanted to observe you before I made my final attack on you, Cloud Strife..."
"But who barks doesn't bite, Saizō" - Cloud replied coolly - "I thought last time was more than enough for you, but I see that not only did you not learn your lesson, but you decided to bring more of your clan members to go down with you..."
"Ho ~? That boy sure has a sharp tongue, don't you think so, Isami?" - A female voice asked.
"Don't say my name in front of our enemy..." - Said a second female voice as the two appeared next to Saizō in front of the blonde. One of the girls had long light lilac hair and a delicate and curvy body, while the other girl had long green hair and a well-trained physique, demonstrating it thanks to her hard muscles that far from making her look unfeminine only gave her a wild appearance.
"She's already figured us out, you get nothing out of trying your identity, you're not Batman" - said the green-haired girl while rolling her eyes at her friend.
"Focus on the mission!" - Saizō roared coldly as the two women snorted with disdain.
". . ." - Cloud just watched this as he shook his head thinking he might as well have stayed in Nangokuren because this was stupid.
"Oh, I think someone is not taking us seriously" - said the green haired girl.
"I think the same thing, Rena" - replied Isami neutrally.
"I mean, you can say my name, but I can't say yours?" - Rena asked with a frown - "Can you be any more hypocritical?"
"Save your games for another time, now we have work to do!" - Saizō roared fiercely as the two girls nodded reluctantly. Of the 3, Saizō was the strongest and as such, they had to follow his instructions, after all, he would be the next leader of Asahinata.
"Okay, you don't have to yell at us so much" - Rena snorted while Isami kept silent.
"Interesting..." - Cloud muttered as he looked at the two women and finally at Saizō - "I want to make sure of something though... and not to belittle them or anything but.... That's it?"
The girls frowned when they heard this, but if what they heard from Saizō when he returned to the clan was true, then the boy in front of them had what it took to be proud.
"We can always show you what we're made of, sweetheart" - Rena said as she picked up her huge hammer.
". . ." - Isami for her part just stood on guard as she narrowed her eyes.
"And I'm not the same one you met a few weeks ago..." - Saizō said as he released all his Ki along with a wild grin appeared on his face - "My power has grown to levels you can't...!Ack!"
But before he could say anything else, he flew off at full speed - "Weakling..."
"Oh..." - the two girls watched in surprise as their leader flew off only to look at the blond boy in front of them.
"Hmph..." - Cloud for his part only gave them a snort along with a small grunt as he released mana.
"!" - the two girls quickly backed away as they stood on guard so they could initiate combat when necessary.
"Relax, I won't do anything to you as long as you don't do something stupid" - Cloud replied neutrally - "As long as you don't get in my way, I won't do anything to you'll..."
". . ." - Rena was silent not knowing what to say as Isami looked at the blond seriously - "I don't think it's possible... we were ordered to take control of Nangokuren..."
"Isami!" - Rena exclaimed in surprise.
"We don't get anything out of hiding it when we'll be announcing it shortly" - Isami answered seriously.
"I see... too bad" - muttered Cloud as his pupils sharpened and his mana started to surround his body - "I guess it'll be the hard way... but relax, since you told me that's what they were planning to do, I'm going to leave them with all their bones intact... though I can't promise the same from that bastard who doesn't seem to understand their situation well."
[That... consumes...]
"!" - Cloud's eyes widened as he heard how a dark voice seemed to be whispering to him to follow his instincts, though he quickly decided to put it aside.
[Consume... devour... devour... tear...]
Cloud's eyebrow began to twitch as he felt his eyes change for a few seconds before returning to normal.
"They better get going... and I hope they put that bastard on a leash because if he shows up in front of me again..." - Cloud said as his pupils changed to one of in the shape of a four-pointed star.
The two girls unconsciously recoiled as they saw the change in the blond because they felt that instead of being in front of a boy, they were in front of a huge beast that was trapping them in its teeth.
"O-Ok!" - The girls exclaimed before grabbing Saizō and disappearing from the place.
". . ." - Cloud was silent for a few seconds before asking the System what that had been.
[Replying to User, that was [Incursio]'s influence, since you're slowly getting closer to the minimum requirements to be able to use it.]
". . ." - Cloud frowned when he heard this because he never expected [Incursio] to affect him so soon.
[That's also easy to answer... it's because you're a Dragon and as such your resonance with [Tyrant] is much higher than Tatsumi or Bulat from the Akame ga Kill world]
"Doesn't that mean that my level of erosion will be much more accelerated than theirs?" - Cloud asked as he felt how useless he was [Incursio].
[Depends... normally this would be dangerous, after all, [Tyrant] is a rank EX lifeform, but like I said, the resonance between [Incursio] and the User is impressive, so it's also an opportunity]
"What do you mean?" - Cloud asked with a frown.
[That [Incursio] can make you wake up much faster you [Bloodline Draconian] if you use it frequently, while making [Tyrant]'s aura adapt more easily to your body].
"That's bad!" - Cloud exclaimed in thought - "The more connected I am to the [Tyrant], the worse my situation will be!"
[Negative... Tatsumi was just an ordinary human and he was able to restrain himself to the [Tyrant's] primal instincts, you as a dragon not only have a greater resistance to these instincts, but depending on how much willpower you have, it is possible that your Bloodline can absorb the [Tyrant] and thus take all of his strength as your own... although I would advise caution if you attempt this because regardless, [Tyrant] is still a Rank EX creature]
". . ." - Cloud's eyes widened in surprise when he heard that because it was obvious that the benefits would be impressive if he managed to absorb the Kikenshu (Danger Beast) into his Bloodline - "I wonder.... What if it managed to devour other types of dragon as well?"
Cloud's heart started pounding when he thought that, only to open his eyes wide when he understood what he had said - "!"
[Devour... devour... devour... devour....]
". . ." - Cloud gritted his teeth as he slammed his head against a wall to the point where it started to bleed, just to get those thoughts out of his head.
"Huh? Why are you banging your head against the wall?" - A blonde girl asked as she looked at Cloud in surprise, but to her annoyance he didn't answer her - "Hey, I'm talking to you!"
Cloud shot a glance at the girl, only to notice how she gave a small jump as she saw his pupils in the shape of 4-pointed stars, though when she blinked, her eyes had returned to normal.
"A-Are you okay?" - The girl asked again as she calmed down after noticing that the boy was normal - "Maybe it was just me?"
"I'm fine..." - Cloud replied as he shook his head and noticed how the wound had already closed - "I just got hit by accident..."
"I don't think it was an accident if you whipped your head multiple times" - replied the girl disdainfully.
"Ema-sama!" - Kirihiko exclaimed as she ran over to where the blonde-haired girl was standing - "Why did you run like that!"
"Because you're boring, Kirihiko!" - Ema exclaimed in annoyance - "I'm supposed to be seeing the wonders of the city and you take me to the museum or the aquarium... seriously, I can see that in America....".
"Uh..." - Kirihiko didn't know how to respond to that because technically she wasn't wrong.
"But let's leave that for another time, now we have to take this guy~ to the hospital" - Ema said as she was embarrassed to see that she had mixed up languages - "Sorry about that... it's just that when I get excited, I always speak in my native tongue."
"Don't worry" - Cloud replied as he shook his head.
