Chapter 52 The Shadow Dragon
Shin had already walked back to the clan whereas now only Kira and Aaron were left alone here.
Of course, Kira wanted to know about what had happened due to which he exposed himself and walked towards Aaron.
"Aaron...", he said in a low voice.
"Kira...", Aaron looked at him and then lowered his head.
Perhaps he too had detected Kira\'s presence, not that Kira even tried concealing it.
"Are you worried about the upcoming War?", Kira asked.
Aaron just nodded his head. Then he turned towards Kira and said, "Help me, Kira, I want Master Shin!"
"If he is with us then we will win definitely!", Aaron\'s eyes were completely wide.
It was as if Kira was looking at some maniac. It was weird, way too weird.
"Aaron...?", Kira called out to Aaron after seeing his weird behavior.
"Yes, definitely..."
"Master Shin can...", Aaron was mumbling to himself constantly as if he had gone crazy.
"Aaron! Are you alright?", Kira raised his voice.
"Huh?"
"Ya..."
Aaron snapped out of it when Kira shouted at him. Any longer and Aaron would have been out of reach.
"What happened to you? Why are you so obsessed with having Shin in your clan?", Kira asked.
He wanted to confirm if what he was thinking was the truth. He wanted to know if Aaron was aware that Shin had a dragon attribute.
"Kira..."
"Do you know how strong Master Shin is?", Aaron stared at Kira while asking that.
*gulp*
It was now starting to freak Kira out, the eyes, the wide freak-like eyes which Aaron was showing right now were too disgusting and freaky!
"No, isn\'t he just a healer?"
"How can he be strong?", Kira pretended not to know anything while he already knew everything since Siara had testified it.
"Listen, Kira, Master Shin is no ordinary wolf!"
"He is a wolf that comes once in a lifetime..."
"No! Once in a century..."
"No! Once in a Million Years!", Aaron had no words to describe. All he did was raise the parameters with which he could measure Shin.
"What are you trying to say?", Kira asked while faking it even now.
"Have you never seen his true power?", Aaron asked.
"No, I have-", even before Kira could finish saying, Aaron spoke.
"I have! I have seen!"
"That moment..."
"No matter what happens, I can never forget that moment..."
He then started narrating what he saw and the reason why he was behaving in such a way and was obsessed with having Shin join his clan.
An hour ago...
"Sigh looks like I have to ask his help again..."
"Let me summon him..."
Shin\'s eyes shined with white light yet again and a magic circle was formed. Everything happened the same way as the last but the only difference was that he didn\'t require to sing the complete song or anything else this time.
\'Ding\'
[ You have used the skill Hymn Of The Dragons ]
[ Pact with the Shadow Dragon Argant detected ]
[ Would you like to summon the Shadow Dragon Argant? ]
[ -> Yes/No ]
This time it was different because a pact already existed. Maybe the pact acted as a link between Shin and the Shadow Dragon Argant.
Usually one had to transform into the dragon form to use such a skill but since it was a skill granted to \'Half-Dragon\', then it could be used by Wolf such as Shin too since he was part of the other half!
All the dragon skills that he received could be used in any form and probably the power and things differed, but at the end of the day, the bottom line was that he could use the skills freely.
The magic circle this time formed in front of him and the Shadow Dragon appeared from the circle.
\'Roarrr\'
As soon as it appeared, it roared loudly causing the entire cave tremoring. Since it was a cave, the roar basically echoed and eventually exited the cave.
Aaron, who was guarding the cave, heard the loud roar and flinched.
Of course, not many heard because they were quite far away from the cave, but some did hear. However, they thought that it might have been some random beast nearby that could be taken care of by the guards so they didn\'t care.
Well, as for Aaron who was absolutely sure that the roaring sound came from the cave, he started walking inside.
He walked as calmly as he could and hid his presence so that none could detect him.
More than that, he was basically paralyzed as soon as he entered the cave. The reason for this was quite simple, the massive aura which he felt!
Since a dragon appeared out of nowhere, it emitted quite a large amount of aura that spread throughout the cave almost immediately, and that was what Aaron felt.
But the Aura vanished within a moment as if it was concealed. After that Aaron could walk with ease. Of course, the paralysis was due to fear and nothing else.
He was about to reach the area where Shin was present when suddenly he found a shadow on the wall of the cave.
\'Huh?\'
He quickly and swiftly hid behind a wall and prevented himself from entering the place where Shin was present because he could see the shadow there.
"Hmm, curses, that\'s an easy job!", the dragon said.
Aaron heard the dominant tone. He realized that a dragon was present by looking at the shadow on the wall.
He did try to peek but failed since he lacked the guts to do so.
Shin asked the dragon to lift the curses and the Shadow dragon did as he was asked to.
Well, it was a piece of cake for him. Shin did hear that a Shadow Wolf did this but the power of the shadow attribute would be much more dominant for a dragon than a wolf!
Aaron used up all his courage to just stay there. He then tried to peek a bit right when Argant vanished after completely lifting the curse.
Just when Aaron looked there, he found only Shin left.
"Huh?", he made a noise on hearing which Shin turned back almost immediately.
"Who?", Shin did ask that but he could clearly see Aaron standing in front of him.
"You..."
"Did you see it?", Shin asked.
*gulp*
Aaron swallowed a whole lot of dry saliva and said, "I\'m sorry, I was just worried..."
"I..."
\'Damn, he found out that I can use my skills to summon Dragons...\', Shin grit his teeth and then walked out of the cave without telling anything else.
All the members were waking up now one by one for which Aaron was quite thankful but he had the same surprised expression on his face.
His eyes were widely opened when he said, "I can\'t believe that a legendary dragon disguised itself into a wolf!"
Wrong, he definitely and totally got it wrong!
Oh well, that was how his narration ended.
"..."
