Episode 223

[The dragon’s heart stored in the Death Domain is reacting to the Reinforced Dracos and Wyvern corpses.]

[You can fuse the three Reinforced Dracos with the dragon’s heart.]

[Would you like to proceed with the fusion?]

“What the.”

A dumbfounded sound escaped at the unexpected system guide.

“What’s wrong, Lord?”

“The dragon’s heart is reacting to the wyverns, and it says I can fuse it with the Dracos.”

【Kekeke. This is quite an interesting discovery!】

Meigers bared his teeth and grinned widely.

Hmm.

Did I not pay enough attention to appearance when crafting?

The teeth of the Hunter I used as a model for the Black Sage were uneven, making his smile look quite grotesque.

I should make time later to give him at least basic dental implants.

Wait.

That’s not what’s important right now.

“Do I have to choose right away?”

[The fusion decision is up to the user’s discretion.]

[The process can be executed once the conditions are met.]

So I don’t need to choose immediately.

“Should I run a simulation first?”

【With insufficient data, it’ll be difficult to produce meaningful results.】

“Still, there’s no harm in trying.”

They say if you expect to get slapped and then get slapped, it hurts less.

“Then wouldn’t it be best to avoid getting slapped altogether?”

“Gal!”

What am I supposed to do when he nitpicks proverbs?

He’s the type who’d say lying down to eat rice cakes is bound to make you choke. Really.

Back in my day, I listened carefully to the words of sages and acted very cautiously.

“From Schne’s perspective, that doesn’t seem to be the case.”

“You thief… talking back?”

Twin flames lit up in Ingrid’s eyes, so Zaugg quickly distanced himself.

Now, let’s ignore them and run the simulation.

[Fusing 3 Reinforced Dracos / Dragon’s Heart / Wyvern corpses.]

[Success Rate ― 92%]

[Expected Specs]

Strength: S+ / Agility: A+ / Stamina: S / Durability: S+ / Mana: S

Expected Overall Grade: S+

A 92% success rate.

Not bad?

The Reinforced Dracos’ combat power is A+ grade.

If three of them combine to become S+ grade, that’s a profit.

“Good. Let’s try it once.”

“The dragon’s heart should be refined first before Master consumes it!”

“I said it’s fine.”

“Hmm. The mage’s opinion seems valid though.”

Ah.

I’m not eating it!

They keep pushing their agenda.

If I ask Roan or Zaugg, they’ll probably just tell me to do as I please.

In times like this, should I seek advice from the Grand Alchemist?

【Grrrrr. I can’t stand it. Hurry up and fuse them, Master!】

Why are you acting like a beast?

If I put you next to the Dracos, you’d fit right in.

“Is the dragon’s heart data properly recorded in the laboratory?”

[All data necessary for simulation has been extracted.]

[100% prediction is possible for what results would occur when creating undead with the dragon’s heart.]

Then that’s settled.

The dragon’s heart.

It’s certainly a valuable byproduct, but there’s no immediate use for it.

A Gate where three of GGG’s raid teams were wiped out.

If I’ve extracted the data, it would be better to use it for power enhancement.

Didn’t Executive Sofia tell me to prepare for tomorrow’s Gate raid?

“Great Lord, when Schne heard it, it didn’t seem to mean that.”

Shh.

In our country, there’s a terrifying legend that if you tell the truth, the boogeyman will carry you away.

The success rate is quite high too.

Let’s try it once.

“Execute the fusion.”

[Fusing 3 Reinforced Dracos with the dragon’s heart and wyvern corpses.]

[Additional wyvern corpses can be added for body reconstruction.]

Wait a minute.

I think I’ve experienced this before?

Like when I enhanced a Draco that had filled all its Predation stacks.

Or when I created the Predator ― Lex based on the primitive human’s heart and mutant raptor.

“You said the success rate was 92%.”

【Hmm. So that’s how it was.】

Meigers clapped his palm with his fist.

When I looked at him with eyes that said to explain quickly without stalling, he cleared his throat.

【Didn’t you only set one creature in the simulation?】

“I did.”

【Since you didn’t input additional data, it only predicted the predetermined amount.】

Damn it.

You should handle that kind of thing automatically with good sense.

【Why are you taking this so seriously? Just add one wyvern corpse and it’ll turn out exactly like Master’s simulation results.】

“If I can raise the specs higher, how can I just leave it alone!”

The fusion is already in progress.

If I was going to be satisfied with stable results, I wouldn’t have started this in the first place.

Please.

I hope the Draco trio devours them moderately.

Almost reciting prayers internally, I dumped the freshly aged wyverns and threw them to the fusing Draco trio.

Crunch! Crunch!

“That’s right. Eat well.”

Maybe because the Dracos were panting?

It felt like feeding Happy back home.

Though the actual visuals are 180 degrees different.

That’s just how it feels.

“The aged wyvern corpses are almost running out.”

“Don’t panic.”

There are less-aged corpses and more stored in the Death Space, you know?

It will end within that.

No.

It has to!

Since I’ve already cleared the Gate, additional procurement is impossible.

“Master. The Realm of Evil is empty.”

“Not yet.”

I took out the Wyvern Corpses stored in Death Space one by one and threw them in.

How much time had passed?

[The Draco Trio’s fusion has entered a stable phase.]

[The Sub-Dragon Heart is reconstructing the body using Dragon Clan Bones, flesh, and skin.]

[Super-Enhanced Draco (Temporary) has been created.]

The Dracos that finished fusion opened their eyes.

* * *

[Super-Enhanced Draco (Temporary)]

⌎You can give this undead a name.

*Race: Undead

*Classification: Sub-Dragon

*Grade: S+

Strength: 2,901

Agility: 1,634

Stamina: 2,498

Endurance: 2,772

Mana: 2,988

*Skills

Lightning Burst[S] / Lightning Breath[S] / Immortal Legion[S] / Super Regeneration[S] / Dragon Fear[S] / Sub-Dragon[S] / Dragon Scale[S]…

*This entity’s grade and stats have been downgraded due to insufficient creator capabilities.

*The suppressed power will return when the creator’s grade increases.

*This entity is growth-type. It can become stronger through experience and Predation.

The Draco Trio that finished their mutation slowly raised their heads.

Why do I call the merged Draco “trio”?

“Krurururu.”

“Kruruk!”

“Krurururu.”

Because it had three heads.

An enormous build comparable to the Mutant Wyvern Elder.

Three pairs of wings sprouted from its back.

Yellow lightning writhing in the wing membranes sparked in all directions with tick, tick sounds.

“This is incredible.”

Even without looking at the Status Window.

I could tell how strong the fused Dracos had become.

[Heavenly Martial Body], [Master of Magic], and [Spirit Eye] continuously sounded warning alarms.

My instincts detecting danger were getting on my nerves.

It’s fine.

That guy is my subordinate.

“Lord.”

“Are you guys tense too?”

“We could fight it if you ordered us to. But we must protect Master.”

“Schne could hold out once, I suppose.”

“Master. Protect.”

Four familiars on guard.

Only Meigers was cackling and trying to approach.

【Behold this noble appearance. Doesn’t it resemble legendary dragons rather than undead!】

He’s lost it. Completely lost it.

“Observe it later.”

【Krrrrr. I can’t hold back anymore! Master!】

“Then get roasted by lightning.”

【Sometimes patience is necessary. I shall follow Master’s wise counsel.】

His speed of changing stance is quite impressive.

“Now. Good boy?”

As I slowly extended my right hand.

“Krurururu!”

All three heads bowed simultaneously and bumped into each other with a thud.

Lightning flashed with the collision.

These guys.

Being wreathed in lightning is a passive skill.

“Lightning. Can you suppress it?”

“Krururu!”

The center head responded and the lightning swirling around the scales and membranes subsided.

Phew.

Now I can finally touch it.

When I petted one head, the heads on both sides competitively pushed their crowns forward.

“Do you guys each have your own will?”

“Krurururu!”

“Kruruk!”

“Kruk.”

Okay.

Three consciousnesses befitting a three-headed dragon.

Who controls body movement?”

“Krururuk.”

The center head answered.

I think I roughly understand the Dracos’ condition.

The center head is the core, and while the other heads have will, they only interfere with the body to assist control.

“I’ve created something incredible.”

Even though my capabilities were insufficient and the stats were suppressed.

The system classified it as S+.

It had an enormous number of S-grade skills too.

It even had the option of being an undead growth-type summoned being.

“What if we exclude that it gets stronger when Lord advances?”

“I left that out because it’s obvious.”

It would be a bit much to directly say “you’re inadequate.”

Knights don’t understand people’s hearts… memo.

“But do high-level undead get created this easily?”

“Not really. It seems to be due to Draco’s special nature.”

“Special nature.”

An original dead that doesn’t exist in the conventional undead system.

It created synergy with the Predation ability.

The Sub-Dragon Heart catalyst seems to have bound incomplete dragons together and shaped them into a complete being.

“As expected of Master! You foresaw all of this, didn’t you?”

As if.

Creating Draco was accidental from the start.

The Predation ability was luckily acquired while fighting Mutant Ghouls.

Thanks to several coincidences overlapping, the current Draco could be born.

Really.

Should I say I was lucky.

“They say when coincidences overlap, it becomes destiny.”

“Destiny. That has a nice ring to it.”

“Because my Lord never rested and constantly trained himself, he was able to seize this fate.”

That’s too grandiose.

I lightly scratched my cheek with my right hand.

“But why is it wrapped in lightning.”

Was there a correlation between Wyverns and lightning attributes.

No.

If there was, they would have used lightning attacks when hunting.

Except for the boss Wyvern Elder, I couldn’t even catch a glimpse of the letter ‘L’ in lightning.

“The Lightning Crystal might have influenced even ordinary Wyverns.”

“That’s the only possibility.”

The hypothesis that additional options were created thanks to being made based on the corpses of special Wyverns.

Currently, it’s the most plausible reasoning.

【Master. Please, let me examine this fellow!】

“There’s something I need to do first.”

A name.

I need to give this guy a name.

Calling it Super Reinforced Draco is a bit much.

It has a more complete sense of self.

And even gained potential for development.

Shouldn’t I give it a proper name.

Three heads.

“Hydraigon.”

“That looks like a dignified name.”

“What does it mean?”

“I just said what came to mind.”

Actually, it’s a name with a motif.

A three-headed dragon in a game I played as a child used that name.

“Do you like it?”

“Krurururu!”

The Draco Trio.

No.

Hydraigon roared low, showing satisfaction.

An unexpected addition to my forces.

One more positive variable for tomorrow’s Gate conquest has increased.
