A gigantic dragon has been looming the clouded skies for some time now. I had only fully perceived his presence now, and without wasting much time, I immediately flew into the skies to greet him. His presence seemed like that of a Vampire as well, yet it added a dark and feral aura I could only recognize from monsters.
His appearance was monstrous. Black scales covered his body, with a few red in between. Enormous red eyes glared down on me filled with a monstrous bloodlust. His enormous wings had the shape of the wings of bats and were red in their membranes.
He had several vampiric traits, alongside long red horns on top of his head, and a large jewel on his chest, emanating a large quantity of power within his very body. All of it was divine power. His presence alone was frightening, although I mustered the resolve to confront him.
I knew who he was as well. I had been thinking where he could had gone when I fought his father and killed him with the rest of my allies… It seems he never participated in the fight because he never cared about the Venerable to begin with.
Yeah, this monstrous Vampire Dragon is…
"So you're Sangre."
"Oh? I am amazed you know of my name."
He looked down on me as he smiled, his sharp jaw curling up evilly.
"How could I not know the cowardly vampire dragon that didn't helped his father when he was getting slaughtered by me?" I asked with a smile. "I assume that because you didn't helped him, you're not here to fight, right?"
"What if I am?" He asked boldly. "What if I am here to kill you, drink your blood, and also devour everyone down there, down to the very last bone. What would you do, my little brother? What would you do as I devour your daughters? Your wife? As I tear apart their limbs, as I laugh as they cry in agony-"
FLAAASH!
Suddenly, an enormous bubble made of Divine Power emerged out of my body. In a mere second, Sangre was trapped within it. This was something I've finally developed once I reached Rank 9, a Divine Domain. With this, I can materialize my Divine Aura and Draconic Aura, and trap a foe inside a space.
"…Then I'm going to fucking kill you first. That's what I'm going to do."
I looked straight into his eyes fearlessly.
I was not messing around here.
If he wanted a beef, he'll get it.
And I'll do every single trick in the book to fuck him over.
His presence alone was powerful though, incredibly strong.
I think he's even stronger than me, he is a being already at Rank 10.
But I am quite experienced on fighting beings above my own Rank already…
"Heh…" He smiled, laughing. "…Don't worry, I don't intend to kill you and those down there… yet."
"Yet?" I asked while narrowing my eyes.
"I am glad, in fact." He said with a smile. "I came here to personally congratulate you for your efforts! I actually am a bit late to the party, I wanted to kill father myself, and get all his shiny red stones in the way as well. Do you have some left, hm?"
FLASH!
"You want these?"
I showed three floating red crystals in my hand.
A greedy smile surged on Sangre.
"Yes… those! With them, I could be so strong… How about you handle them over and our enmity stops here? We can even be friends… Just give it to me!"
He extended his hand towards my own, and in a second, he flew towards me with an incredible speed.
FLAAASH!
However, I disappeared from the spot, as the crystals were already back inside my Inventory, a pocket dimension nobody can enter to.
"Huh? Where…?!"
FLUOSH!
His shadows began to distort, as I emerged behind him, my claws grasping his neck and my sharp tail pointing at his eyes.
I used a very simple Divine Magic.
As a Dark Dragon, how could I not be well versed in traveling across shadows?
Although this time, I merged it with Dream Traveling and also the Unique Skill: Vampire Progenitor's Ability [Endless Night].
"Do you truly believe you can force your way into stealing something on the dragon king's hand, huh, Sangre?"
"Tch!"
FLASH!
He swung his tail once more, trying to slice me apart, but I disappeared once more, appearing above him and looking down on him, my body quickly encompassed on holy light.
"Why didn't you helped your father? What's your scheme, bastard?" I asked him while trying to remain calm, but the tension kept shooting up as his aura continued to exude furiously around his surroundings. "You're one of the very last surviving servants of his original age because you're a dragon, and don't have a lifespan unlike all the older Vampire Gods that served him. I doubt you want to join Ruby, don't you?"
"Heh, you see through me so clearly, little brother. I can tell you're rather well versed in reading people." Sangre smiled back at me. "I never liked my father. Why would I help that decrepit old monster when I could become the new ruler myself?"
"New ruler?" I asked.
"You know of the Title of Demon King?" Asked Sangre.
"Demon… King?" I wondered.
"If there's an Elven King, a Dragon King, and even a Titan King, why not a Demon King?" Sangre asked. "It is a special title awarded to a monstrous being that has brought great calamity to the world. Those that receive the Calamity Bringer title are seeds of the Demon King, but only those that awaken their truest malice and evilest of powers can truly reach this title… a title that will give me the power I need."
This is the first time I ever hear about such a thing. The System seemed to have not much idea either.
However, I do remember I receive the title of Calamity Bringer…
Am I also a Demon King seed?
