8 Zagnivol's Pas

From that moment, Shun was beaten to the brink of his life and asked by Zagnivol to heal himself with the Azure Flames. He was obviously unsuccessful for a couple of times and stayed injured for a couple of days before his enhanced regeneration picked up and healed him.

After being repeatedly lectured by Zagnivol, he finally learned the way to heal himself albeit slow but he could still heal himself right now. After that, his speed of training continued to rise, his healing speed had increased that he could now heal his broken bone within 2 minutes.

It was heaven-defying. Zagnivol himself was astonished that he had come such a long way in these years. His power of the Azure Flame also rose another level and it was just below Zagnivol's Flames in intensity.

Zagnivol now had to use some of it's true strength to spar with Shun, he felt as if the speed of his growth was unreal. The speed at which his magic was becoming denser and denser while also increasing in it's quantity.

In one of the spars, Shun had actually activated the rarest thing and given a great surprise to Zagnivol. He activated his Dragon Force at that time, Zagnivol had to use half of it's true power to stop him.

He didn't want to hurt Shun so he did have some restrain but the power of Shun's Dragon Force did take him by surprise. It was unreal for any Dragon Slayer to have such unbelievable power the first time they activate the Dragon's Force.

What shocked Zagnivol even more was that Shun could control how to activate his Dragon Force, he could activate it on will and that caused the Dragon to sigh… It felt some pity for the enemies that were about to face him.

6th July, X777 Year

Zagnivol was staring at the surrounding with a grim expression on it's face. It knew that it wouldn't be able to survive and would die at the end of the day. He knew that before disappearing, he would have to inform Shun.

He called out to Shun, "SHUN COME HERE!!" Shun was sitting on top of a Hill while controlling the Azure Flame without any signs. He heard the sound of Zagnivol calling out to him and called back the Azure Flame and turned towards that direction.

He jumped down from the hill and started to come down at an unimaginable speed. When he was about to reach the ground, he softly spoke, "Azure Dragon's Roar!" A Bright Azure Blue Flame appeared from his mouth and struck the ground.

The strange thing was that the ground wasn't being heated at all, it was as if Shun controlled the temperature and reduced it to minimum. He slowed down his speed and jumped down on the ground.

He then started running towards the Azure Dragon, Zagnivol with his full speed while dodging the trees that appeared in his way. It took him about a minute to reach near Zagnivol and asked, "You called me father? What happened?"

Zagnivol stared at the 11 years old Shun and felt a bit proud, he had grown up wonderfully while making him very surprised at his miraculous growth. He spoke in a tired voice mixed with his old and ancient voice, "The time has come for me to tell you about myself."

Shun was curious as to what Zagnivol wanted to tell him, his ears perked up as he listened, "I am the Azure Dragon but in the Dragon Times, I was called the Dragon King. It was nearly 1000 years ago when I was crowned to be the Dragon King."

His words caused Shun to be very shocked, he didn't think that Zagnivol was the Dragon King but he thought of the power he possessed and didn't find it weird that he possessed such a position among the Dragons.

Zagnivol further spoke, "At that time, our Dragon God that had ascended the God Realm watched my progress and was worried that if i continued to grow stronger, I would be able to kill it and get that throne for myself. So, it asked me for a battle…"

Zagnivol had a sad expression on its face as it further spoke, "I was a very arrogant Dragon at that time, I didn't give a damn and went to battle with the Dragon God. Our battle continued for 100 years before I started to lose my power and it destroyed me in that instant."

"This body is my Strong Spiritual Body that has limited Magic Energy. I wanted to stay alive for an inheritor so that I could keep my legacy alive. I then heard of a Dragon inventing a Magic called the Dragon Slayer Magic with which the Dragons teach their magic to humans."

Zagnivol paused for a few moments before it started to speak once again, "I was intrigued by the idea of teaching my magic to a human, I did choose some few humans but they died as soon as I put my Azure Flame for their rebirth but you...you survived and here you are."

Shun remained silent as he heard his words, he only had a single question, "How strong is that Dragon God? And won't he sense me if I also grow too strong?"

Zagnivol nodded his head as it spoke, "It is about as strong as my complete strength with an inexhaustible energy. He won't sense you because he disdains to observe humans. I have a single request out of you… if you ever grow powerful enough, then destroy that Dragon God."

"Don't think about this too much, just have fun and continue to grow strong. This is only when you grow strong enough to kill me with a single blow."

Shun nodded as he knew that he was far away from the time till he was abe to kill Zagnivol with a single blow, he couldn't hurt him even with his full power let alone kill him. Zagnivol smiled as it spoke one last sentence, "Before going, I will let you have glimpse of my complete strength."

Suddenly, the Zagnivol's whole body started shining with a Blue Light. It completely covered him and slowly started to uncover him. As the Light was being uncovered, Shun saw a completely new set of beautiful scales.

They looked beautiful, strong and completely full of vitality. Shun sensed an unreal amount of Magic Power within Zagnivol. He now knew that he wasn't half-shit in front of Zagnivol, Zagnivol could destroy him with just a little finger.

The clouds thundered as if they were witnessing a god. In the God Realm, The Dragon God was astonished as it sensed this energy, he could never forget this energy, the energy of the Greatest Dragon that he had ever battled.

He had never forgotten that scene in his life, if it had let that Dragon live for another 400 years, it would be the one who would have lost that battle. He didn't know just how could such a strong Dragon exist in the world.

He had a long way to go before he could match that power, suddenly Zagnivol stopped shining and everything returned to the original. The new scales were replaced with the old looking scales.

Shun noticed Zagnivol disappearing in front of his eyes and let out some tears, he declared, "I will take revenge for you father!! I promise that!"

Zagnivol smiled one last time and advised him, "Don't waste your life for the revenge and training. Have fun and enjoy your life. Find some mates for yourself, you are the son of a Dragon King, make your own harem child. Ohh and Zeref asked me to tell you to go to a guild named Fairy Tail."

Shun smiled as he heard that, "Oh, he did. Alright then. Bye father… May the heavens rest your soul." With that Zagnivol disappeared from his view… He lowered his head as he stayed down for the whole day.
