Chapter 7 - The new rivals

Huh — what's that noise?

Oh, it's just another dragon.

I'm just going to go back to sleep.

"Swooosh!"

Now he's diving right toward me. Why does every single living thing in this world have the urge to kill me?

Fine. If you want to fight, let's go!

"Swipe!"

Ouch — that hurt! You clawed me in the face!

Yeah, I'm done playing with you. I might as well try a new skill.

Let's see… use Stonerend Claws.

"Swipe!"

Oh. I was not expecting that — he just disintegrated.

Oh well. He was like half my size anyway. Time to go look for some food.

Two minutes later…

There was nothing but hobgoblins, and I only got ten points for killing them. What a bummer.

Oh — there are dragons at my mountain. Intriguing. Let's go say hi.

"Swoop!"

Why are you here on my mountain?

"My son flew this way. Have you seen him?"

Was he about half my size, golden and white scales with blue eyes?

"Yes."

Yeah, I killed him.

"You what?"

Yeah — he dove at me, so I killed him.

"I'll kill you!"

You are welcome to try.

"Slash!"

Ouch! Is that all you've got? You're twice my size; I thought you were strong. Turns out you're weak.

"What — you just took my strongest attack and said 'ouch'?"

Yeah. Anyway, either you can leave or you can die.

"Ok, ok — I'm leaving."

"Fwooosh, fwooosh!"

She's going to be back. I can feel it. Time to change mountains. What a hassle.

Two days later…

Well, it's time to go.

Let's find a new mountain in a prime location to hunt and gain points.

"Hey, system."

[System notification — Yes?]

"Are there humans in this world, and is there any way you can give me the ability to talk to them?"

[System notification — Yes, there are humans in this world, but you would need to spend 100 points to gain the ability to talk to them.]

"Okay, go ahead and give me the ability to talk to humans."

[System notification — Activating voice evolution.]
