After the experience points were added to Eliza’s attribute list, the little dragon, who was not far away from Locke, began to glow brightly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Locke quickly accepted the Dragon Growth Potion rewarded by her system He poured it into Eliza’s mouth, and it immediately enlarged into the size of a large white balloon. A popping sound ensued, and Eliza’s body became much larger.
She immediately flew behind Locke.
The white dragon symbol in Locke’s wrist began to glow at the same time as the contract symbol on Eliza’s neck. The symbols flickered for a few seconds before Eliza turned into a white light.
The beam of light surged into Locke’s body.
Locke, who was escaping, immediately floated into the air, a layer of white armour surrounding him!
“Man-Dragon Unity, Sacred Dragon Magic Armor!”
The armor was covered with dragon scale patterns. After Locke put on the armor, he looked very handsome. Locke could feel the entirety of Eliza’s strength!
He raised the white spear in his hand that had entered the first stage of its final form and charged at the giant Bone Dragon.
The huge force caused huge damage to the ground. Taking two steps forward, Locke leaped toward the Bone Dragon. He grabbed the spear with both hands and charged toward the Bone Dragon’s chest.
A huge crack appeared on the Bone Dragon who had maximum physical defense.
Seeing that Locke’s attack was effective, Clifford immediately cast a support spell. He now knew how weak Locke’s foundation was. Even a few high-level support spells could not buff him up. However, this was something that could not be helped, because Locke was still a first-year student of the Magic Academy.
The necromancer on the Bone Dragon realized that this young man was extraordinarily powerful. The thought of escaping slipped into his mind. However, there was no time to make a decision, because Clifford had already begun to cast spells on him.
A fierce magic battle between Clifford and the necromancer ensued, while Locke fought the Bone Dragon on the ground. Due to Locke’s immense destructive power, countless cracks had already appeared on the Bone Dragon’s body. If not for the magic array in its body stabilizing it, it would have been completely crushed by Locke.
However, the Bone Dragon did not have any way to deal with it, because Locke’s dragon had the light attribute, and it was definitely effective against the Bone Dragon.
The three of them and the dragon were in a deadlock, but soon, the balance was broken by a Dragon Knight mage who had come to support them.
It was a Fire Dragon and its rider. He saw Locke fighting with the Bone Dragon and immediately joined in.
With the help of the Fire Dragon, Locke delivered a final strike to the Bone Dragon’s core and it turned into dust.
Just as the Bone Dragon’s core was about to dissipate, Eliza separated from Locke and transformed into her dragon form. Without missing a beat, she swallowed the Bone Dragon’s core in front of her.
Seeing this scene, the necromancer was distracted for a moment. He was hit by Clifford’s spell and was devoured by the fire spell.
After the battle ended, the system notified Locke that he had obtained extra EXP, and it was a considerable amount of EXP.
“Congratulations to the host for successfully defeating the Bone Dragon. You have received 100,000 EXP and 500 Merchant Shop Points!
“The host’s teammates killed a high-level Necromancer, gaining 100,000 EXP and 500 Merchant Shop Points!”
Upon seeing this message, Locke almost jumped with joy, but he did not expect that his mental strength had already reached its limit. Suddenly, he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
Because Eliza had expended too much energy, she immediately transformed into a ray of light and fused with Locke, transforming into a dragon tattoo that attached itself to his back.
Clifford was shocked again!
He had been in the kingdom for so many years, and he had seen at least fifty Dragon Knight mages, if not a hundred. This was the first time he witnessed a dragon rider being able to become one with a young dragon.
At this moment, he could not help but recall the High Priest’s prophecy: I saw Victory!
It seemed like they really did have a chance of defeating the Dark Dragon, Niederhogg, who had been wreaking havoc in the continent for thousands of years!
As soon as the battle ended, the Dragon Knight mage escorted them to Rono City and flew back to Hanos Scient and Technology Tower.
In fact, he had been stunned by Locke’s performance in the battle. He had not expected that the leader of Dark Blade Dragon’s fourth team would be so young.
Locke looked like he’d just reached adulthood! The young lad couldn’t be more than 16 years old. Surprisingly, he could merge with his dragon despite his young age!
The Fire Dragon rider and his Fire Dragon had trained for five years before they succeeded!
“As expected of the kingdom’s Dunmei Dark Blade Dragons!”
Clifford settled Locke in one of the inns in Rono, and the two rested there for the rest of the day.
It was the following night when Locke woke up in bed. He looked around and realized that Eliza was gone. Sensing that Locke was looking for her, Eliza who was resting as a tattoo on his back immediately emitted light and appeared beside Locke.
“Wha—! What is going on?”
Recalling the events of the battle, he finally remembered what had happened!
Just then, Clifford entered the room.
“This is something that happens only after one becomes one with the dragon!
“After entering the first phase of the human and dragon integration, the contract dragon can turn into a tattoo and attach itself to its master’s back!
“Furthermore, your dragon will be able to change the size of its body so that it can follow its master anywhere.
“Well, that’s about it!
“Have you not been attending classes recently? Have you forgotten about this?”
Locke rubbed his head. Due to the recent fusion of his memories and the memories of the original host of his body, his memory was pretty chaotic he could not recall much of his knowledge at once.
He could only reply with a smile, “I’m fine, I’m fine. I’m just too tired, and my brain is not really functioning at this point!”
Clifford could not blame him as he understood the situation. After all, the young lad had been hunting down the demoness for the past few days and did not have any time to rest.
“Forget it, let’s go down and eat!
“After our meal, I have to go back and report!”
Locke looked out the window and saw that it was already dark. “Are we going back to the capital of Dunmei now?”
“Of course! The first thing to do after completing the mission is to head back and provide reports on the mission. Why would we stay here?”
Locke remembered that the corpses in the village had not been disposed of.
“What about the remains of the corpses on the mountain?”
“Those things are out of our control. We’ve done all we can out of the goodness of our hearts! I’ve already informed the City Lord about this. He will send someone to deal with it!”
“Alright!” Then, he followed him downstairs.
When Eliza heard that they were going to eat, it tagged along eagerly. As soon as it reached the table, it immediately became the size of a basin and started eating happily.
Locke looked at his thin wallet and shook his head bitterly!
There was still a month before his salary would be paid. There was no way he could continue living like this!
Clifford immediately patted Locke’s shoulder and explained, “Don’t panic! We will get rewarded with a lot of bonuses when we return!
“I think it should be enough for you to live on for a while!” comforted Clifford, who did not believe what he’d said himself. This was because he knew they’d destroyed the most important thing from the mission.. They weren’t going to get much money from this mission!
