The man becomes shocked by the sudden change and begins to look around. Darkness. Dark shadows suddenly flowed out from Lyle.

And then, black shiny scales began to appear and cover his arm and legs and some silver scales on his cheeks.

This scales had majestic crimson lines that looked like tribal flames on it.

His short black wavy hair suddenly began to change and turned silver, it then extend until his waist.

His eyes which was deep black in color was dyed in crimson red with inverted star as a pupil.

On his cheeks, some black shiny scales appeared and two black horns appeared on each side of his head; pointing in front of him.

Although some part of his body was covered by jet-black scales, the wings which appeared behind his back was unexpectedly platinum in color. It even has platinum-colored feathers that seemed like it was an angel’s pair of wings; giving him some kind of a majestic appearance.

— It was totally different from his demi-dragon form from before.

———–

Boom!

Within Lyle’s inner consciousness, the giant Lyle suddenly opened his eyes fiercely. Fierceness instantly filled its eyes and it viciously stared at the sky.

Boom!

The giant Lyle was sitting elegantly on top of a huge throne.

Black shadows would surge out endlessly from its body as it rushed into the Spirit that looked like Lyle on top of a huge altar.

— This was Lyle’s own Spirit!

At this moment, Lyle’s spirit was completely covered with black shadows. It looked extremely mysterious.

When the giant Lyle glanced at the Spirit on top of the altar, it muttered lazily: “He actually managed to assimilate with my power to this extent. What a troublesome fellow.”

Some dark shadows crashed onto the chains dangling on his arms and legs and caused a chain reaction of ripples and sounds.

His vicious eyes seemed that it wanted to swallow everything up completely.

“It seems myself from the outside was really angered … to the extent that he was swallowing this one’s darkness … tsk, tsk … that fella, doesn’t he know that this is really bad ? This one doesn’t want him to know this one’s existence nor this one interfere with his affairs to avoid affecting him …but now, all of my efforts might gone in vain if this keeps up.” The giant Lyle shook his head, left to right.

“He’s starting to change … he even used one of this one’s ability …”

If this goes on, he will surely become like this one …

However, that doesn’t seem bad at all~

The giant Lyle secretly thought to himself, although he immediately erased that thought.

He found himself imagining something unacceptable, and squashed the thought immediately.

He had no qualms with Lyle’s transformation if he was devoured by his darkness, but still he was a little bit concerned about it.

He did not understand much about the result if Lyle really devoured his darkness completely or his changes if his own darkness affects him.

If what he was thinking came true, perhaps the world would be the one in trouble. The world will likely change.

Therefore, for the time being, he must find a method to deal with this problem.

Because if he will really become him, then the current Lyle will surely disappear.

But he didn’t want that.

He was Lyle but at the same time, Lyle wasn’t him. He believe that they both had different destinies to fulfill.

His had already end and now, it was the current Lyle’s turn.

More importantly, he had his life before and Lyle has this life now. This isn’t something he wanted to take away from him.

He once had failed to do something but maybe, the current Lyle which was quite different from him could accomplish something he couldn’t … that is why he doesn’t want him to change because of his existence which should have been buried by time and was only awakened by accident.

He wanted to see where Lyle’s path leads him.

Therefore, the giant Lyle would not spare any thoughts of protecting him.

From any enemy… even if it’s the original him … and his darkness.

It was because the past him had lived most of his life inside darkness, he didn’t want to let go of the warmth he had within his reach at this time, the place his current self made which he was unable to.

The ideal place he wanted to belong to just like what ‘she’ dreamed about.

However, the giant Lyle knew that it wasn’t easy to think of a solution. The only thing right now that could restrain the darkness from being swallowed was him restraining the darkness within Lyle’s body with all his got.

However, this will need his utmost effort and power.

He won’t be able to protect Lyle if something were to really happen because if Lyle was too weak and was killed by someone, he, too, would end up dead.

Although Lyle’s current strength right now was pretty good, however, he knows that it’s not enough. If by some chance, ‘they’ discovered that he was once again reborn, they will surely make their move.

The dragonized Lyle’s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened up.

Within his black eyes, a black flame arose. It was extremely mysterious.

He then raised his head and stared at the three men who was now trembling in fear but for some reason couldn’t move.

“If you dare to touch her … “He opens his mouth and speaks some words.

His voice is low, and it sounds like a curse.

Suddenly, the ground, the trees around them was covered by … Darkness…

Nothing but darkness …

The huge trees and bushes that were there before vanished as if they were just a hallucination, and everything except Lyle’s group and the three men who was standing not so far from them turns into darkness.

“…..This … what the heck is this …?”

“Is this the Draconian’s abilities ? No, that isn’t it! I heard some stories but I haven’t heard something like this! What the heck is this ?!”

“This power … ? This is……totally on a different level……!”

“Oh my god! What the heck is this ? Draconian’s dragon form isn’t something like this! And black scales ?! I never heard of something like that!!!”

The people behind Lyle was scared out of their wits.

Their legs started shaking in fear as their voices rang out here and there while looking at Lyle’s incredible figure.

Even the teachers who met some draconians who transformed in front of them before were shocked at this scene. … … this was the first time they witnessed something like this as well!

It was totally different from what they had already seen before.

Although Aster was also very surprised, he didn’t cower like the others and stepped back.

He still stood stubbornly behind Lyle. Even if Lyle turns out to be a hideous monster, his feeling and views for him won’t change even the slightest bit.

He was the one who extend his arm towards him.

He was the one who treat him very well and he was the one who he can call his brother!

Even if he was the devil himself, Aster would still treat him the same and protect him.

Misuzu was better than the others as she already saw this form before.

Although there were some differences and it wasn’t Lyle but the one who claimed his other personality, this figure was more or less the same.

Thus she could still hold her ground.

However, the eerie feeling emitting from the darkness still caused her to tremble in fear. It’s as if this darkness was ready to swallow her alive.

Looking at Lyle which was familiar yet at the same time unfamiliar, her pure clear eyes slightly wavered before tightening her fist. She grit her teeth to hold herself together, but suddenly …

… Lyle disappeared.

———————–

…..What is this dimension that is covered in darkness…..!?

The three men in black thought the same as their body couldn’t help but trembled in fear. They wanted to immediately escape but for some reason their legs wouldn’t budge.

Some kind of shadow was coiling on their legs as if stopping them from leaving.

And then …

In the territory that turned into darkness, a weird humanoid appears behind the three men. Its eyes are red. Very red eyes that are glowing very creepily……

“… If you touched her…! I will kill you till none of you are left … … !”

It’s not Lyle’s voice…..! This is a dangerous voice which includes all the emotions of anger, grudge, and cursing!

The man who was acting all high and mighty just now was totally scared to the point that a warm water began to leak between his legs … no he wasn’t alone. The other two black men and some boys and girls in Lyle’s group was starting to leak some foul smell.

“”Spa—“” Before the two black men could finish their words, their heads were cut off with a sound like cutting grass.

Seeing this unimaginable phenomenon, the black clothed man violently coughed out a mouthful of blood and his face became pale stricken in an instant!

He immediately staggered more than a dozen meters back .

Two A-rankers, dead!

Most importantly, in an instant!

At this moment, endless remorse and regrets had filled the black clothed man’s eyes!

Lyle’s treasure hunt group members were even more in a state of disbelief and even the former selfish and arrogant Princess; Misuzu and the other instructors, after seeing such a scene, widened their eyes and inhaled a deep breath, their faces filled with shock!

They had all felt as if they had stepped into a dream, especially Misuzu, Aster and the rest.

They originally thought even if they can survive from fighting three A-rankers, they would still suffer huge casualties and worse, only several people which can be counted by one hand will be the only people to survive.

However,

To think that in a blink of an eye, two A-rankers were killed without even fighting back …

This … how can this be ?!
