"Did you feel the fire energy in the estate?"

Ragnar asked the obvious. He knew that the chosen of the Fire Supreme had felt the fire energy in the Drakmor estate, he just wanted to start a conversation as they walked through the dark halls of the basement of the castle.

"Yes."

Elijah answered. He wondered why Ragnar asked the obvious…But decided to let it go.

"The abundant fire energy here is the Haven for fire type awakened, our training speed can be enhanced almost twice here."

Elijah gulped.

Twice!

That was amazing, to advance twice as fast as the average awakened was amazing here on earth.

[The Supreme dragon of fire Agri say's that is low. Vulcanus will enhance it 50 times.]

"..."

Elijah was truly dumbfounded. Twice was amazing..But 50 times?

Truly, the home of the fire dragons was amazing. But even so, here on Earth the boost in the Drakmor estate was amazing. No wonder the Drakmor's were so strong. Most members of the family had the element of fire and combining that with the affinity level and the boost the estate provided…They were bound to be the strongest.

"Where do you think this fire energy comes from?"

Asked Ragnar, as he continued walking.

"From your bloodline? You spread your fire energy that's in your bloodline all throughout the estate?"

Answered Elijah, however he still felt dubious about his answer. It was plausible…in his head.

[The supreme dragon of Fire Agri says the boost would not be that much from a simple Drake's bloodline.]

"I tried that, but it only enhanced the fire energy by 1.4 times. You are wrong, Chosen."

Ragnar said. It seemed Agri was right.

They both continued walking in the dark hallways, the only source of light in the hallway was Sitri.

Finally, they arrived at a large obsidian door, it had depictions of two standing dragons, combining their breaths into a sphere of fire.

Elijah guessed that the source of the Fire energy probably came from whatever was behind that door.

Ragnar approaches the door and places his hands on it. His figure became engulfed in fire and he transferred his energy into the door.

The Fire slowly traveled up the two dragons, and the resplendent energy illuminated the area. The dragons released the fire energy from their mouths and the energy combined into the sphere, forming a sun.

With a metallic sound, the large door opened. Before it could even completely open Elijah was assaulted by a heat hot enough to melt steel.

Elijah protected himself from the heat by covering his face and head. The door continued to open and Ragnar stood in front of the heat unfazed. It finally opened fully and Elijah felt an even stronger heat emerge.

"This is the source."

[The Supreme dragon of Fire Agri is speechless.]

Agri is speechless?

What was it? A Crystal of Primordial fire? A Priceless artifact?

Elijah wondered what it was. He used his mana to shield himself from the heat and could finally see…

He raised his head…and his reaction was just like Agri's.

It was not a Crystal of Primordial fire.

It wasn't even an Artifact.

It was the skeletal corpse of a Dragon.

"..."

Elijah gazed at the skeleton of the dragon. The bones carried an orange hue, resembling the smoldering embers and sacred fire the creature once wielded.

Each bone radiated an intense warmth…It was like the fire that once ran in the dragon's vein was still there. It was still lingering within those bones!

The skull was adorned with fearsome sweeping horns, it had large and deep eye sockets, which were proof of the creature's keen insight and wisdom. The spinal bones resembled flames, they had sharp and pointed ridges which depicted the image of flames rising upward. It had a large rib cage, probably to support the massive lungs it needed to breathe fire.

The limb bones displayed a balance between power and flexibility. The forearm bones had slightly curved edges, reminiscent of talons, while the wing bones stretched out gracefully, evoking the image of a phoenix's outstretched wings. Each bone retained a delicate lattice-like structure, showcasing the dragon's ethereal essence.

The amount of fire energy the skeleton released was immense.

"This was also the source of my bloodline…It was only bones, So I could only extract the bloodline of a Drake. Instead…of a fire dragon."

Spoke Ragnar, regret lacing his voice.

Elijah was still speechless…

"This is the source of my strength, oh chosen. The skeleton of a mighty fire dragon."

An intense amount of Fire Energy was released from Elijah, horns and scales grew…and Ragnar was forced to bow down because of the Fire pressure.

There was rage…

Elijah wasn't in control of his body…not anymore.

Sitri kneeled down, as low as the bird could and spoke with reverence in his voice.

[I greet the Supreme of Fire.]

Agri had descended and had possessed Elijah's body temporarily.

"..!"

Sitri's greeting shocked Ragnar. The Supreme OF FIRE had really descended! Agri, the King Of Fire dragons, the strongest fire Dragon had descended!

"I greet the Supreme of Fire."

Ragnar barely managed to utter those words…He simply copied Sitri's greeting but even that took a toll on him. He was just overwhelmed by the supreme pressure.

"A young red dragon…"

Agri said as he looked at the skeleton. Wrath was present in his voice. It was not a fire dragon like Elijah and Ragnar had thought…but a young red dragon.

'...young red dragon?!'

Ragnar was flustered. The skeleton he almost worshiped was not of mighty fire dragons but…instead a young dragon? A red Dragon?

"Where did you find this?"

He asked Ragnar, and lessened his pressure so that he could answer freely.

"...It was here originally…I stumbled here when I was a new awakened Supreme."

Answered Ragnar truthfully

"..."

Agri went over to the skeletal corpse and examined it closely. His flames released a special Aura and scanned the corpse.

"..."

His energy faded. He already knew all he needed to know.

His aura faded away, he was about to go back. Staying in Elijah's weak body for too long would have disastrous effects for Elijah as of now.

"Supreme wait!"

Ragnar dared to call him, and ask him to stop the process.

Ragnar bowed down before Agri.

Sitri watched with fear. What would the Supreme do to him? He dared to talk without permission!

"Please make me a fire dragon!"

He begged.

Agri looked at him. And Asked.

"Why?"

…Why?

Ragnar was confused? Why not?

Why not?!

"Do you think you have the capability to be one?"

Asked Agri, his eyes scanned each and every cell of Agri's body.

"Swear Loyalty to Elijah."

"..!"

That was Agri's condition. Elijah needed power. So he would do anything that he could to give it to him.

Having the strongest human swear loyalty would be amazing. Elijah's strength would increase.

But…Agri respected Ragnar's title as a guardian.

"That tower of trials…Watch Elijah when he goes to challenge it.

Decide then, whether he is worthy of your loyalty."

Agri would not force him.

"...Yes."

Agri disappeared when he heard Ragnar's answer. Elijah was now back in control.

He had heard everything.

However the toll that it took on him was immense. The descent of a supreme being into his body was dangerous.

"Take this."

Ragnar fed him the highest grade potion he had on him right now.

"Thank you…"

Elijah thanked him for his help. And stood up.

"You don't really have to sw-"

"It's alright."

Ragnar interrupted Elijah. Elijah was too kind for his own good. He would be getting the strongest human on Earth as his servant…but he didn't want that.

He felt 'weird' having a subordinate that was stronger than him.

"Please, I shall watch your trials with great interest."

Ragnar would do anything to become a dragon, Since he was already a fire drake it would be better to become a Fire Dragon! No?

"Alright…"

When Elijah saw Ragnar's determination…he really couldn't do anything now to stop him. Now could he?

"Thank you."

Ragnar had actually already chosen to swear loyalty. Swearing Loyalty to the one chosen by the Supreme Dragon of Fire was an opportunity! He already knew his Limits had been reached as a fire Drake, His bloodline had reached its limits. His race as a human had reached it. Perhaps if he was a true fire drake…He would actually have advanced into a dragon by now but unfortunately he wasn't. He only possessed the bloodline of a drake. And because it wasn't extremely pure…he couldn't change his race into a Drake as well.

This was his hope, this was his chance to advance to a higher rank.

He himself escorted Elijah outside of the Estate, and let Sitri accompany him until he reached the association.

Elijah was now the center of attention in The Capitol. That was supposed to protect him.

No one would attack him if Ragnar was behind him. Not in the Capitol…And not even in all of Humanity's land.

He returned to his throne room after Sitri informed him that Elijah had entered the Association…and as expected. His children and several other members of the Drakmor family were there.

"Sigh…this is gonna be a headache."
