Chapter 4
I woke up with the first rays of the sun falling on my face and even so I still did not want to leave a certain red-haired source of warmth. Yes, surprisingly, Elsa accepted me easily despite how Gerard betrayed her. Perhaps she decided to trust me because I shared my secret with her, or maybe she just wanted to have a person she could confide in, but I know one thing for sure. I will do everything possible not to betray her trust, and if Gray or Natsu try to get into her fights I will personally prescribe them a session of brain-controlling lightning and damn me if I let Gray undress in front of Elsa, I will personally learn ice magic and make him shiver with cold at the sight of me, especially since I have a bow with cold magic and it would be wrong not to be able to use its full potential.
While all these thoughts at the yandere level were rushing through my head, my sweet friend began to wake up little by little.
-Good morning. - I said to my new friend, smiling happily and not stopping hugging her.
-Good! - the girl said with a charming smile and, having gotten out of my embrace, continued. - We need to find food. We ate my last supplies last night.
-Don't worry! - I said, jumping up cheerfully. - You have a dragon slayer on your team and with my sense of smell, hearing and magic, we'll find a tasty boar or deer in no time.
-But first, we need to wash up. - I said, raising my finger instructively, to which Elsa nodded with a serious face.
To be honest, having the magic of the heavenly dragon slayers was damn convenient and sometimes it even seemed to me that the heavenly dragons should have been the best. With an insane amount of buffs for allies and pretty good firepower, and adding to this the elements of lightning and water, which in tandem give just insane damage, it should turn out to be a real imba and I plan to become this imba.
It was pretty easy to throw speed and endurance buffs on both of us, as well as a sensitivity buff on myself. In just a couple of minutes, I was able to find the scent of an animal that resembled a boar, I immediately summoned a bow and ran with Elsa, having previously muffled our scent and steps towards the animal. But we came across an unusual boar, most likely mutated due to the abundance of magic in the environment. It was about 3 meters high and 4 in length. And honestly, I was glad that I guessed to muffle our sounds, because I was not sure that I could calmly fight such an opponent in a direct clash. Elsa nervously grabbed the edge of my shirt, but I smiled reassuringly, turning to her.
- Don't worry, I have a plan, and besides, he's sleeping. - Elsa was clearly not convinced by my words, but I decided to show her in practice, because even though I have little magical power now, I am absolutely confident in the penetrating ability of my magic, it's enough to remember my first roar of the storm dragon. I began to pour my magic into the bow, creating an ice arrow that in a moment seemed like a real lightning bolt trapped in a vortex of wind, and having spent all my reserves, I fired the arrow in the direction of the sleeping monster's eye. At the last moment, the boar woke up and wanted to dodge, but how could he fight with the speed of lightning. The arrow instantly pierced the monster's entire body and continued to fly after him, leaving small through holes in the trees, and I felt exhausted and fell on the stunned Elsa, releasing the bow into the world of stellar spirits.
- Well, am I really cool? - I asked Elsa happily, albeit a little tiredly. And damn right! I'm trying to show off and impress her. And who wouldn't try to please someone as gorgeous as Elsa. In the end, she will be a strong, kind, albeit a little strict, loyal, smart, purposeful and beautiful girl. The literal ideal of almost any man, and even though I have become a girl, I am not going to change my preferences.
-You're a fool! - Elsa shouted, hugging me. - And if you hadn't gotten in!
-Then I would have had the beautiful Titania to save me. - I answered with a charming smile, causing the girl to blush a little. - Don't worry, I'll eat some air now and everything will be fine, and I want to try to do an exercise to develop my source.
-Okay.- Elsa, slightly embarrassed and pouting, turned away from me, to which I could only sigh and concentrate on my next actions. Thanks to my memory received from the system, I was able to remember the sensations I had when I first entered the dragon rage mode and now, concentrating on these sensations, I began to absorb mana from the air and after a minute I could feel an increased reserve and strength of the body with feelings. But this was not it, weak. Much weaker than what was and I can only assume that the reason for this was that I entered the heavenly dragon mode, and not the storm dragon and although this caused a slight disappointment, but it was to be expected that everything would not be so simple. Having decided that this was enough for the first time, I let go of the rage, noting that this time the reserve increased by 5%, but there was also a feeling that if I repeat this trick in the next 5 hours, I will only harm myself, I do not know where I got this knowledge from, but most likely it comes from the system.
I opened my eyes and saw a curious face right in front of me.
-What were you doing? Your hair suddenly turned such a beautiful pink and cool scales appeared on your skin.- the girl showed her childish curiosity.
-This is called the dragon rage mode, a special state of dragon slayers in which their strength becomes like that of dragons, and entering this state for training increases the reserve, but if an ordinary person who does not have protection from the curse does this, it will speed up the process of turning into a dragon and losing emotions, but since I am originally half-dragon, the curse does not work on me.
-Cool! - Elsa exclaimed and asked, a little embarrassed.- But what should we do with the boar carcass?
-Don't worry! A small weight-reducing spell on the boar and a strength buff on us and voila! The boar is as light as a feather!
So we got food not only for today but also for the whole journey to Magnolia, there will even be some left over for sale.
You may probably find it strange how the boar noticed the danger so late? Well, let me ask what are the chances that the boar will be able to reveal the disguise of someone who has been perfecting it since he was 5 years old in order to deceive even a very distracted sky dragon. Yes, I still managed to sneak a peek at Mommy Grandina and Anna. Damn you have to understand me, they were too hot and I felt that if I didn't take advantage of the opportunity to put it in my memory, I would never be able to forgive myself for the missed opportunity. Naturally, I will never tell anyone why I am actually so good at stealth.
Meanwhile, Elsa did not understand why Wendy suddenly had such a determined expression on her face with fire in her eyes.
Happy New Year!!!
