[Leviathan's Pov]

"Who are you, human, to intrude upon this king's territory! This king shall teach you the difference between the heavens and the earth, puny mortal!" And here goes another overly arrogant dragon in his 'I'm better then you' speech. I've been hunting these guys for 5 days now, and have only found 6 dragons who, although stronger then the first one, were only 1/2 of the second dragon I've met. 

This dragon in particular is quite annoying. I was taking a bath in a river whilst in my human form and then discovered this wierdo that was staring at me. Are magical beasts attracted to human bodies or something? He then started insulting me with things like 'How dare you be naked in front of this King', 'This king shall control the heavens' or other really retarded stuff. 

I simply waited for him to finish his kingly rambling whilst staring at him with a blank face, still fully naked. I mean, why should I be ashamed of my own body? Also, he's a dragon... Dragons tend to mate with dragons, so they shouldn't be into humans, I mean, it'd be like having a human have sex with a cat or something. Really, it'd be like a gorilla having sex with a 6 years old girl, with size considered. Am I rambling...?

After 10 more minutes of rambling incoherent and idiotic things, he finally stops and says "Well, puny mortal, I, this king, shall permit you to speak in my glorious glory." Heh, thanks, I really did need permission to speak, I was too scared to speak without it, you know?

"... Idiot. Retard. Cretin. Empty-Headed... fool. Dofus. Arrogant... Bastard. Don't... Care... King... Or not." The dragon had a shocked expression on his face and roared "How dare you puny mortal to insult, I, this king!" I don't wait for him to finish since this parade has gotten boring, and I transform into my monster form.

Soon enough, I was towering over him and he had his mouth gaping open. It's always fun to see these arrogant bastards piss themselves when I turn into a monster... I wonder, do they act like this just because they can't feel Qi in me? But then again, they should understand that I'm a body cultivator due to my wings, but I don't think they're smart enough to do so.

I slither around the dragon, who tried to back away but I blocked him from doing so with my tail. He tried to bite me, but my scales were too hard, and I took the opportunity to wrap around him and give him a nice hug. Even in death he kept screaming "Release this king or know the judgement of the heavens!" I of course, did not release him. He died after 40 seconds of being hugged. He was probably really lonely considering his attitude, so at least he died a nice death...

I ate the idiot's body and went back to my cave. There, I was finally ready to advance to my final step in cultivating this god damn body. I'm at 90% completion towards advancing, so hopefully this should be the final push I needed to finally complete this chuuni-like dragon cultivation.

Concentrating my mind in my stomach, I separated the dragon essence from the flesh and will it to go to my heart. By now, the essence in my heart was a hard liquid and almost solid, and only needed a bit more to fully turn solid. 

I kept pushing the dragon essence into my heart, ignoring the pain. I kept doing it until not a single bit of essence remained inside my stomach. I was now at 100%, and had to do the last step before fully finishing this cultivation.

Using the now-solid dragon essence, I made it explode inside my heart, sending it through all of my body for it to assimilate the essence. It felt like my whole body was trying to implode from the inside out, but at this point the process was automatic, thus I didn't need to do anything and I couldn't stop it. I let myself scream out in pain and roll on the ground, trying my best to hold on to my consciousness.

For 6 hours the pain continued. It was at the level of my previous breakthrough and only kept rising. Once the 6 hour mark was reached, the entirety of the solid essence was distributed through my body, filling every blood vein. Now, I had to release it into liquid form, and I did. This increased the volume twofold, making it seem like every single vein wanted to explode. After 30 minutes of letting my veins adjust to this and many screams, I was finally ready for the last step, to turn the liquid into gas and let it enter my cells.

I transformed the liquid dragon essence into gas form, and let it enter my every cell. This hurt, but not as much as the liquid part, or so I thought for the first hour. The gas began to increase in volume tenfold and then hundredfold, making my entire body look like an overly inflated baloon. I don't think I need to explain how much this hurt, right?

After 2 more traumatizing hours, the transformation was finally over. Thanks to my overly resilient body, none of my veins had exploded but it still hurt. A lot.

I got up from the hard stone ground with a small sigh. I'm seriously turning into a masochist am I not... Well, I don't dislike the idea of suffering to get stronger... Am I perhaps a training addict? I mean, I'm plenty strong as I am right now and I know... Is there even anyone strong enough to match me when I fully unleash every card I have?

With a sudden enlightment, I ask the Voice "... Compare... Me... Others... Strength". Why ask this? Well, I'd be in deep trouble if I get overly arrogant, but sometimes being arrogant helps and if I know the enemy strength I can attempt at bigger plots...

"Compared to the non-cultivating human: Impossible to defeat. Compared to non-cultivating non-human race: Impossible to defeat. Possible scenarios of defeat: <140.000 Saints / <50.000 Saint Masters / <10.000 Great Saints / 1.500 Earth Saints / 500 King Saints / 20 Emperor Saints / 2 God Saints / >1 Heaven Saint."

I choked the moment I heard these numbers. I mean, yes, I am strong, but these numbers are obviously false. Even I can deduce that, is the thing perhaps stupid? "... Wrong. Trick... Me?"

The Voice replied with a confused voice "Our calculations tell us this should be the amount of enemies you should be able to handle with Leviathan mode released along with maximum output of the Devil Fruits." I shake my head and make a small sigh. Yes, calculations are correct, but they're obviously not taking into account tactics, weaknesses, weak spots, tiredness and most important of all, attributes. Even a single Saint with an attribute could potentially wound me, let alone someone of a higher rank.

I ignore the Voice and check out my body. First thing I noticed is that my teeth and nails were several times sharper then before, and my canines had grown to resemble those of a vampire. Next obvious thing would be the new pair of wings, which they too were a deep black color. My dress had been ripped apart, so I quickly went into the clothing section of the shop and, much to my dismay, found that the dress for four-wingers was much more expensive. 

I cried bitter tears for a minute, then cheered myself up thinking that at least I looked quite good with the wings and that they'd make for really nice blankets. Too bad I'll need yet another hour a day for grooming them...

After inspecting my newfound wings and a bit of flight practice, which finally worked, albeit it required a more in-depth training, I began to practice my newfound strenght and even checked out my 12-winged monster form, or as the voice called it, Leviathan Mode. Ain't I always on Leviathan mode though? I mean, it is my name and all...

I spent two days adjusting to my newfound strenght. I accidentally smashed into trees a couple times whilst running around, since it's quite hard to adjust when your strength suddently goes up threefold... Yeah, it was quite the improvement. After this adjusting, I finally decided that it was time to find this stupid cultivation zone, and once I would be there, hopefully reach a decent level in normal cultivation.
