Chapter 3: First Conflict and Nasty Kills

Chapter 3: First Conflict and Nasty Kills

I was too excited. Way too excited... I totally forgot about my creature. If I wasn't a dragon I would most definitely not expect that.. a dragon would run out in the middle of the streets. This is definitely NOT how the start of my life is supposed to be. I immediately at this moment knew I screwed up. Big Time.

Instantly, at that moment chattering began to rise up like a bee colony disturbed. But, at this moment the only think I heard was a voice in my head. 

「Title Acquired」Bonehead Dragon - Acquired by dragons who have the dumbest moments. Passive Title - Learn to be calm and think in bad situations.

Wait isn't this just shaming me? I was just caught up in the moment I swear. While I was doing this I thought of running away but the crowd was circling around me with no exit. I couldn't fly either due to my wings not being so developed.

I really didn't have any way to get myself out of this unintentional mess.. while the crowd still did not approach me as if they have seen a dragon for the first time. and at this I focused on their chattering with my all power 「Human Language:Lv10」Haha!

But the next part of what I heard wasn't all that funny. In this world humanity had a certain connection to dragons. They either kept lower dragons as slaves or pets and had some type of conflict with a higher level class of dragons.

I was expecting this since my mother was a Queen of some kingdom as it states. I continued to listen to the words in the crowd. "The King's Guards are coming!" The name explained it all. I was wondering how the news reached the actual guard of the King in the five minutes that passed.

If I tried to forcefully move out I would've hurt the people who had done nothing wrong to me. "Make way for the King's Guard!" I heard this shout from within the crowd. I quickly thought of everything that I could use to escape. I considered elemental magic because if it used my thoughts to create a spell I could try to teleport. I stopped that thought because how it mentioned that it would require Mana equivalent to the spell.

I didn't care anymore. Once an entrance for the guards had appeared I will use my 「Agility Empower」 to immediately escaped the same way they came.

The guards had arrived and unexpectedly at that. Instead of coming through the hole in the crowd that was made for them, they jumped across the whole crowd and landed in front of me. It didn't take long to guess they were guards in front of everyone with their pure white clothing with red crosses on their outer coats. There were 4 guards each with an imposing figure.

I thought of using appraisal on them to guess my chances but I felt if I did I might lose all hope. A male with short blonde hair approaches me first until he came within range for attacks. He had a long rapier customized with an emerald on the handle.

"How did such a dragon like you get within my kingdom?" He stood and scratched his head revealing his non-hostile act. I realized he meant no harm so I reconsidered 「Appraisal」.

After taking a brief look at this status I realize that not provoking him was definitely the best idea. "Hey, dragon I know you just appraised me, I can tell with my magic power but don't do that randomly. It's considered rude among us humans."

"Well the more you know right? Thanks" I said in my head. Going away from the so-called "Rude" 「Appraisal」, the crowd was cleared by the other 3 guards.

"You're really not suppose to be here and I won't appraise you because If I did the information would go directly toward the kingdom crystal and witnessed by all adventurers. I'll give you the choice of being teleported to the Forest of Steel Oaks or you can leave yourself. I know you can understand me so nod if you want to be teleported and shake your head if you want to leave alone.

I immediately nodded because leaving would definitely attract attention and that was the one thing I had enough of today.

"You're allowed by the council to come back in a month because even though we're the most powerful kingdom, we're fair so only when we see you as a threat, will we hunt you."

King's Guard Edward then takes out a crystal with an inscription spell carved on it then throws it to me.

"Smash it and you'll be teleported somewhere within the Forest. "

I was getting ready to smash the crystal but came to my surprise is that a somewhat machine generated voice came into my head.

「Level Up! Lv: 2/10」I guess that 「Illumination Absorption」 finally came in. The sun on this world seems to be same from my old world. I still had much trouble remembering everything besides my casual life.

Edward looked at me and said "Well are you going to break it?" 

I snapped out of my thought and broke the crystal. Everything once again became a blur and Edward faded away and once again I was surrounded by endless trees.

"This forest doesn't seem so bad" I thought since everything was calm again. But that was what I believed. I finally realized what I teleported on.

Just below me there was some figures. The next scene I saw horrified me. I was in the middle of a pack of wolves. They were all asleep.. It was especially not good because the wolf were not normal. All of these wolves had a coat as dark as the night, but the coats were all stained with dried blood. There were 5 wolves and one that looked stronger than the rest with an even bigger and darker figure.

Aha.. why do I keep getting surrounded by crowds? I then used "Appraisal" on the wolves.

Crescent Moon on the head

This is crazy. I'm still Level 2! Only level 2!! I can't beat these wolves and especially that big one with the moon on his forehead. No Way I can take these things down.

I notice a boulder across from the pack of wolves that was tilted on tree. It was a huge boulder about the size of a one story house.

In this situation having the bonehead title actually helps.. A/N-Boy you dumb 

I made up my mind to use the boulder to crush these wolves that were sleeping in a cuddle. I immediately jumped over one pawn wolf making sure not to trigger a canine's sense of hearing. Instantly I activated "Agility Empower" and sped over towards the boulder that was leaning behind the tree. +51 Speed/5Min

I got to the tree and I was surprised that the tree was perfectly fine after holding what looks like a 4 ton boulder. I guess that's where the name Steel Oak comes from. 

I started my action of getting the boulder to roll. A steel  tree did not mean a hard soil. I cautiously activate Element Magic to produce water to wet the soil. -2 MP

It wasn't hard all I thought of was water and it came. I once again used element magic for earth magic and lifted the ground below the tree just a little. It was heavy using magic to lift a tree but I managed. -10 MP

I'm glad that I was able to level up or I wouldn't have been able to lift the soil. The soil was partially lifted along with the tree and I put it in a position where a poke from an angle could knock it over but not from the boulder's angle.

It was time to start the plan. I instantly used "Roar" and the sudden noise awoke all the wolves but the shock-wave from my Lv1 Roar was enough to push the tree. The boulder started rolling down the angle where the tree would've been and a blood massacre happened without me staining my claws.

All the wolves were completely and Thoroughly flattened there were 5 complete bodies flattened.
