Chapter 646

The Dragon Realm was the name of the world Omega lived in, and it was a name Omega had given it.

And just as Omega had said, in the history of the Dragon Realm, Su-ho was the first person to seize victory against an Arc Dragon, and a Lord-class dragon at that.

“I’m the first?”

- Yes. In truth, among people like Dragon Knights or Dragon Riders, there have been those who tamed dragons without necessarily fighting them. For example, by stealing eggs from the beginning and raising them like livestock. But the moment we discovered that fact, we erased everything related to them.

“Scary. The wrath of dragons.”

- You say the obvious. If you found out someone had kidnapped a baby from your family and was raising it like livestock, would you sit still?

“I wouldn’t be able to tolerate it. I’d have to kill them all.”

- All the more so if you imagine that the beings doing it were not fellow humans, but intellectually inferior beings like orcs or goblins. They should be grateful we did not exterminate their entire race.

Omega’s breathing grew rough.

Perhaps he felt it himself, because he briefly gathered his breath, then continued speaking.

- That is why the existence of Dragon Masters, which could be seen only among humans, was extremely rare even in my world, enough to count on one hand. And even they only managed to tame adult dragons, not Arc Dragons.

“Then why didn’t you avenge them when adult dragons were subjugated?”

- Why would we do that for a fully grown one, not even a hatchling? If it lost to a human, it should know shame. If it were me, I would kill myse.......

Suddenly, he felt Su-ho’s gaze.

Omega cut himself off.

- ......In any case, that is how it was.

“Yeah. I think it was better that you didn’t say that to the end. Anyway, I won, and now I’m a Dragon Master. But if I’m a Dragon Master, there has to be a dragon I can command, and you said you’re the only dragon left in the Dragon Realm, right?”

- Yes. However, due to system conditions, I am unable to leave this place.

“What, then isn’t this just a pretty shell with nothing inside?”

- Why do you think dragons exist only here?

“What?”

- Dragons and humans, and countless other things besides, do not exist in only one world. It means that though the worlds they live in may differ, and perhaps their names and appearances may differ little by little, similar beings exist in almost every world. Then would the dragon race, called the greatest living creatures, exist only in the Dragon Realm?

“Ah......!”

He realized it immediately.

True.

It was not as if he had first seen dragons only in the Dragon Realm itself.

“Then if I have the authority of Dragon Master, that means I can subjugate other dragons as much as I want?”

- Something like that. And even right now, do you not already have one dragon?

“I do?”

At that moment, Jack jabbed his thumb toward himself.

Ah, right. You were there.

The Black Shadow Dragon.

Su-ho nodded.

“But strictly speaking, the Black Shadow Dragon isn’t mine. It’s more like something owned by my summon and a skill my summon handles. Can that really be called a true dragon?”

- That is why Dragon Master is necessary. When you meet a true dragon, you must be able to take everything that dragon has for yourself.

“But you said I can’t take you. That takes some of the wind out of it.”

At those words, Omega gave a small laugh.

Then, as if looking at an admirable grandson, he wore an oddly warm smile that did not suit him.

- I am bound to this place, so I cannot give myself to you. However, you can have everything of mine except my flesh.

“Except? That’s a little hard to understand.”

- It is not hard at all. It means the only thing I cannot give you is this shell.

Omega, who had been leaning crookedly, straightened himself.

Then he swept a hand through the air once, as if erasing writing from a blackboard with his palm, and golden chant circles burst out between Su-ho and Omega.

- There are many strong beings in the world. This is, unfortunately, the truth, and a very tragic reality that one has no choice but to acknowledge in the end. However.

The chant circles multiplied.

Among them, one appeared in an enormous form behind Omega’s back, and chant circles of various sizes began appearing and turning beside the large chant circles, like large and small gears meshing together.

- If nothing else, I can declare this much openly. At least among dragons, among any dragons whatsoever, I am the strongest and noblest being. You ask how I can assert that so firmly? It is because I am the greatest dragon, and an Arc Dragon Lord who stands at the summit of such dragons.

The light grew even stronger.

Omega’s words continued.

- I do not bluster. I have never lived my dragon life carelessly, and like building a sturdy house, even when I placed a single brick or a bundle of wood, I built it with all my heart and blood. That is why I can assert it. I believe in the powers I possess. Though the power I possessed could not shine as intended because of that damned System, at least when it comes to the strength of the powers I have built up, I dare say they are superior to anyone else’s.

Omega extended his hand.

- Therefore, I intend to give all this power to you. Dragon Master, though I cannot give you myself, I shall give you all my powers, which can be called my everything. Then, no matter what dragon you encounter from now on, you will be able to make all of them kneel before your eyes.

It was then.

[ You have learned Omega (SS) from Dragon Master. ]

[ Trait information will be changed. ]

[ New skills will be added by the effect of Dragon Master’s Omega. ]

[ You have learned Newtype Dragon (SS). ]

[ You have learned Full Version Mode (SS). ]

[ You have learned Dragon Magic (SS). ]

[ You have learned Dragon Words (SS). ]

[ You have learned Arc Dragon Fear (SS). ]

[ You have learned Arc Dragon Breath (SS). ]

[ You have learned Dragon Lair (SS). ]

[ You have learned Omega Link (SS). ]

[ Information on existing authorities will be changed by the effect of Dragon Master’s Newtype Dragon. ]

[ The grades of existing authorities will be changed by the effect of Dragon Master’s Newtype Dragon. ]

.......

A flood of notifications.

It had begun.

The procedure for transferring Omega’s power.

It was more dazzling and intense than ever before.

It felt as if power was surging through his entire body.

‘So this is the dignity of a Lord-class dragon.’

It was tremendous.

He had gone through similar processes in the Blood Realm as well, but this was far more incredible than that.

At that moment.

[ By obtaining the authority of Dragon Master as well as the power of the Arc Dragon Lord Omega, you have acquired the Dragon Demon stat, the dragon’s mana said to be the strongest mana. ]

[ You gain an additional 200 Dragon Demon stat. ]

“......!”

His eyes widened.

An additional 200 stat?

Even though he had already eaten his fill through the offering?

However, the notifications did not end there.

[ Some stat information will be changed due to the effect of New Blood. ]

[ The True Demon stat will be changed to the Dragon Demon stat. ]

[ The Dragon Demon stat becomes even stronger. ]

[ You have achieved a very great accomplishment that no other Player has ever achieved. ]

[ The System recognizes your great accomplishment and gifts you 50 bonus stats. ]

At the following notifications, his eyes widened once again.

Because the mana stat he had thought had reached the ultimate pinnacle had undergone yet another change.

‘They say the origin of magic is dragons, so the highest grade among mana stats is, as expected, the dragon’s mana.’

That was the Dragon Demon.

In addition, by obtaining the true mana of a dragon, Su-ho was able to receive 50 bonus stats.

[ You are the first Player to see the ultimate essence of Dragon Blood. ]

[ You have achieved a very great accomplishment that no other Player has ever achieved. ]

[ The System recognizes your great accomplishment and gifts you 50 bonus stats. ]

This time as well, 50 bonus stats were given as the price for setting a record.

‘When it was Vampire Blood, it was 20...... So the recognized value itself is different after all.’

It could not be helped.

Vampires, when one got down to it, were demons, and no matter how much one called them primordial vampires or whatever else, there was no being greater than dragons when encompassing all living creatures.

One only had to look at First Blood right away.

That guy was indeed a primordial vampire, but when examined closely, he was simply a survivor the System had left behind for convenience.

In that sense, Omega was someone who had become an Arc Dragon and a Lord on his own.

[ You have become an existence representing a new generation, recognized by the master of the Dragon Realm. ]

[ Arc Dragon Omega wishes to entrust the fate of the Dragon Realm to you. ]

[ The entire Dragon Realm will be designated as Suho Land’s territory. ]

[ Dominion Core activates. ]

[ All stats increase. ]

It was the final notification.

By fully acknowledging Su-ho, Omega had even handed over the Dragon Realm as proof.

It was a conclusion similar to, yet different from, the time in the Blood Realm.

Soon, when all the notifications ended and the power transfer procedure was complete, the chant circles that had filled the surroundings vanished.

Inside the peaceful lair, as if nothing had happened, Omega looked at Su-ho and gave a small laugh.

- Are you satisfied?

“If I’m not satisfied with this, that itself would be greed. I received so much it’s almost too much.”

- That is fortunate.

Omega smiled.

However, after the transfer procedure ended, Omega looked oddly drained.

But his expression held the deepest sense of relief Su-ho had ever seen from him.

- I should rest now. I have done too many things after far too long.

“You’re ending it like this?”

- Do not feel disappointed. We will see each other again soon. No, perhaps we will have to see each other until we are sick of it.

“What does that mean?”

- You will find out soon.

Snap!

Omega snapped his fingers.

Then.

Flash!

A burst of light flashed, and Su-ho disappeared from before his eyes.

He had returned him to the original world.

Immediately after Su-ho disappeared, Omega’s body swelled greatly once again.

He had released his polymorph.

After releasing his polymorph, Omega yawned so widely his mouth seemed about to split, then curled up and sought sleep.

Thinking that he should sleep comfortably for a while.
