Reincarnated Into A Human? (My Dragon System) - Chapter 513

Looking at the five figures, they all seemed to be standing in an odd way. It was clear they were no longer alive. Their flesh had long degenerated and nothing was left but bones, but it seemed strange how they still were able to stand.

Looking closer at these figures, he thought they looked powerful, and the same thing could be said about the odd pieces of armour and the sword. Because of these things, Ray was interested in their story.

‘Why would you choose this place as your resting place, and what happened to you?’ Ray thought.

Placing his hand on the ground, Ray decided that he would activate a certain spell in this very room, to hopefully allow him to speak to them and for them to relive their last moments. With the spell activated, strange light blue spirits seemed to leave the five figures and each of them entered through the door.

What was surprising though, was when Ray could hear their voices coming from the spirits themselves. This was not meant to be possible for the spell he had cast, which meant this was part of their own power that was allowing him to hear them.

The five men came into the room and stood where they were standing now, and started to converse.

“The shadow, it seems to have less effect on our bodies in this area, but we can’t stay here forever.” One of them spoke.

“You’re right, I don’t know why the shadow cannot reach this place, but it has allowed us to clear our minds. If we leave here, then the same thing that happened to Albert could happen to us. It was as if his body along with the hammer became possessed, and I fear the same thing. We have all already been infected, and it’s only a matter of time before it takes over everything.”

“So, are you saying we either stay here unaffected by the shadow and starve to death, or leave this place and die?”

They all seemed to be disheartened but they knew what the right thing to do was. The man who held the sword looked at his weapon for a second. It was clear it was a beast weapon but one that was like no other. The sword guard was shaped like a dragon’s tooth, with multiple dragon teeth running upwards and downwards, then a red crystal shone in the middle of the blade. Going up the blade, several more teeth could be seen, the great sword shined like no other.

“Our weapons and our armour were given to us. It was handed to us by the Divine being. We were gifted weapons made from the legendary creature, a dragon, to kill the shadow but we have failed. We can’t let the enemy get their way. We can’t let what happened with the hammer happen with the rest. My sword was made to slay the shadow, and it will finish doing it’s job.”

The others stood there knowing what would come next as the man raised the sword, and stabbed each one of them, killing them on the spot with the special sword and then finally when he was the only one left, he proceeded to stab himself.

The vision had ended there and Ray understood who these men were from the scene he had watched. They were the dragon knights of the old. The ones who had originally created Avrion, who Ray was now king and leader of.

“They were brave men, determined to get rid of the shadow until the very end. Enough to even take their lives. It looks like the shadow had already passed their body and they knew they had no chance of recovery. It sounded like the hammer belonged to another that had fallen. Is that what Gary had been possessed by? Was it a dragon knight’s will and regret that possesses that hammer instead of a god?” Ray couldn’t help but think about all the possibilities as he walked over to the five of them.

“I’m sorry to disrespect the dead, but your goal is now the same as mine. It would be a waste to not use the equipment that was created to defeat the shadow, and I shall do the same. You may all watch from above as I defeat the shadow.

Grabbing onto the sword, immediately the red crystal around it started to glow, and energy started to flow into him, but it wasn’t just any energy, it was one that was very familiar.

Crying out and shouting at the top of his very lungs, Ray screamed until the energy eventually dissipated.

“That damn bitch! Once I have dealt with the shadow I’ll deal with her as well!” Ray shouted. Touching the sword and making sure the rest of the equipment was the same, Ray finally understood why the items were called dragon items.

He didn’t feel it so much when he first had gone against the hammer, but with the sword which had the strongest energy he knew, it was because the weapons were made from a dragon beast crystal. Not just any dragon beast crystal, but Ray could tell that it was his own one. The crystal created from Sen.

Ray didn’t know dragons even had beast crystals, so he was unsure of how Bliss even managed to do this, but there was no question it could only have been her. After the anger left his body, he started to wear piece after piece, and with each one worn, he grew stronger, it felt like his old body was coming back to him.

‘Maybe I don’t need to keep consuming beast crystals,’ Ray thought. ‘Before i was slowly using them to get my strength and my old body back, but I can tell that I just need to gather all the energy that was lost from me when I was a dragon with these items.’

But there was one major problem with this. After wearing everything, Ray could tell he was close but something was missing. One more item from the dragon set was needed. It was the item which Gary held, and supposedly he was trapped in a different dimension all together.
