Chapter 97 - I Can Be Your Friend

The Black Dragon Mountain Range, inside the Black Dragon's cave, minutes before these events take place in the far reaches of the universe...

A black hole suddenly appeared inside the vast cave, and Asil emerged out of this black hole a few seconds later. When he came out, he calmly looked around and checked to see if the serpent tailed evil tiger was still here. In doing so, he also examined what was around him and checked if anything had changed. But there was nothing different about the environment, nor was it possible to mention the existence of the serpent tailed evil tiger. It was as if no time passed since he was last there. This led Asil to wonder and ask for information from his master, Sirius: "Master, how much time has passed here while we have spent six months in that pitch-dark world? I feel like almost no time has passed."

"It's normal for you to feel that way because during the six months we spent in the space that the kitten opened for us, it was like about two hours in the normal world. But it would still be better if you were out during this time. Although it would normally be six months, you would grow old in a normal way. Now, even if two hours pass in the normal world, you're six months short of life. At my age, that six-month period doesn't matter much. But for someone your age, six months shouldn't be spent on such spaces."

"What do you mean? Even though I've spent six months of my life, it did me a lot of good. Why would you say that, master?"

Sirius sighed and replied: "Child, think of it like this now, you are quite improved in a period of about two hours. But how do you think such a development would be perceived? What would a man who's met you before think of you as you are now? He doesn't believe it at first, but because of this incident, a seed of doubt is planted in his heart. Remember, doubt is the most dangerous thing in the world. If anyone suspects your abnormal development in a two-hour period, powerful people in this city or in different cities may find out about your existence, which could lead to you being investigated by powerful people. You may not know what it's like to be wanted by powerful people, but I do. It's never a good thing. Also, during the six months we spent in another dimension, your body got old six months, even though it had been about two hours in the normal world. Your soul, however, was fed by that abnormal energy, but it never expanded. Feeding on energy only increases soul power. But there is a limit to the energy the soul can absorb. When you reach this limit, your soul cannot absorb any more energy. In the dimensions created by living things, the limit of the soul hardly increases. You need a young body and a mature soul to learn some techniques. So while this six-month period may have improved you, it has also caused bad effects. We need to leave this city soon. Think carefully about where you will be going. And try not to reveal your profound power until you leave town in case you run into someone who might know you. People don't usually pay attention to the profound powers of young people."

In his speech, Sirius said that the period of six months hardly increased the limit of Asil's soul and that this period would have bad effects, but he said these things only to put pressure on Asil. Although normally the limits of the Asil's soul had never increased, it would not have mattered as it was abnormal even for Sirius. And while his profound power increased abnormally in the nearly two hours that passed in the normal world, Unless Asil used his power, Sirius could have hidden this abnormal increase. So even if he said it was dangerous normally, these things weren't really that important.

Asil approved of him after Sirius's speech, and then decided to take a little more scrutiny and go out. But just as he was about to get out of the large area inside the cave, he suddenly turned around and approached the middle of the area.

At that moment, he had the idea of taking the egg that was in the middle of the zone. Although he did not know what the outcome of this idea would be, a voice inside of him was telling him to take the egg. So, when he was about to leave the area, he came back to the egg.

Asil then extended his hand towards it slowly. But just as he was about to touch the egg, Sirius's warning echoed in his mind: "Child, are you sure you want to do this? The eggs of high-level profound monsters, such as dragons, are special. They may not hatch even if they fill the time required for them to hatch. However, if a non-cognate comes into contact with them, they might hatch by abandoning their state. If this egg belongs to a dragon or a high-level profound monster like a dragon and has already filled the time required to hatch, it will hatch the moment you touch it. Even the offspring of high-level profound monsters have a profound power at least in or around the core profound realm. So if it hatches and it doesn't like you, you could be in big trouble."

Sirius's warning was quite clear and made it very clear that the situation could be dangerous. But Asil did not back down against this dangerous situation and succumbed to the desire to take away the creature in this egg that appeared in his heart for no reason and put his hand gently on the egg that looked like a starry night. But as soon as he put his hand on the egg, an imposing voice echoed through the entire cave!

"Əməķđ đřřıłæıłý əřůñß ñūūź mūñūýķū įßįñəñþmbį ñæmıźæ đłəįģ! Ñūæđøñß źõß łįñəəřv əñģů ı§đłæıķłýæ! Æñßæ ñøøł mūčūøřb məđəõ įþķmvæ §æıþķłýæ!"

When that voice echoed inside the cave, Asil had no idea what it was. But before he had the chance to wonder about it, an intense purple light suddenly spread around the egg, causing Asil to unconsciously withdraw his hand and close his eyes.

After a few seconds, the intense light had disappeared and Asil was finally able to open his eyes. When he opened his eyes, the view in front of him had changed a bit. The vessel-like thing that once spread around the egg had all rotted away, and some even began to disperse with the wind. But it wasn't the changes in these vessel-like things that attracted Asil's attention. What caught his attention was a creature found where the egg used to be!

The whole body of this creature was black. It had two wings with veins like that of a dragon, a lithe tail like that of a lizard, an outward protruding and broadhead like that of a frog, and hands and feet like that of a chameleon. Its body was also covered with black scales, like that of a black snake. The size of this strange creature, which is kind is not even known, if its tail is not taken into account, was half the size of the index finger of a man who had just reached adulthood, and its tail was only slightly longer than that of an index finger.

Given the size of the egg, it made no sense for such a creature to come out of it. And Asil could not feel any aura emanating from the body of this strange creature. So he extended his hand again to touch it. But as before, Sirius stopped him once again: "Son! You don't know what the sound was when this creature hatched. But I know! It's something that's not said with the colloquial language of humans, and it's said with the language of the profound monsters, which is a completely different language! Ordinary profound monsters can neither speak nor become humanoid creatures. But extraordinary top-level profound monsters are naturally familiar with the profound monster language, sometimes even human language. Also, the profound monsters at the top of these higher-level creatures have the potential to transform into humanoid creatures. What you're dealing with is small, but it's definitely not as simple as it looks. You can be sure of that! But I don't feel any profound aura in it. It was probably born with damaged profound veins. Such a creature cannot live very long in this world and eventually becomes bait for another creature."

Following the words of Sirius, Asil held his hand where it had been for a while: "This little thing, if it is as you say, Master, is a high-level profound monster. A sweet creature that looks like me." After speaking up, Asil smiled at the little profound monster in front of him, and asked his master in his mind: "Master, what do I have to do for him to be my partner?"

After Asil's question, Sirius answered in earnest: "Child, are you sure about this? If its profound veins are really damaged, it will only be a burden for you in the future.. If you really want this, I will tell you how to make it your partner. But I think you should think about it!"
