Chapter 64 - Grandpa, Where Are You?
Desmond looked around and found that it seemed like he was in a room like a classroom because there were many tables and chairs neatly arranged.
Looking to the front, where the teacher's boards and desks were usually, he saw an old man in a white shirt and a white beard that seemed to be writing something using a chalk pencil.
"Listen, kid, long ago, Dragon Slayer was a class used by all races to eradicate the vicious Dragon Beasts."
The scenery in front of him was like a dream; his eyes seemed to be filled with fireflies making everything he saw blurred or vague.
He could not see the teacher's face. Clearly, it was as if it was covered in something hazy, making it seem faceless.
"God bless all the races with this class knowledge; they are also bestowed with real dragon blood to eradicate Dragon Beasts.
Initially, each race wanted to use this class, but only a few of them managed to become DragonSlayer because the requirements were so high. "
Realizing that the old man in front of him was still talking, and Desmond could not move nor speak, panic began to overtake him.
Shit… what happened.
System… system… system
He called several times, but there was no answer at all from the system.
Looks like I have to depend on myself now.
He finally tried to focus his gaze once again to clearly see the old man's writing and face with no other choice.
"After drinking that dragon's blood, the person who wants to become a Dragon Slayer will be faced with two stages to fully succeed:
First, they have to control themselves because after drinking the blood, their mental and emotions become uncontrollable. If they lose at this stage, then they are tantamount to beasts.
If they can control mentally, but not their emotions, their clear mind will automatically disappear, making them like madmen.
And the second,they must have 40,000 energy and a 1st class swordsman; this is one of the critical reasons people don't want this class. "
Meanwhile, Desmond, looking at all the writing on this board, was processing the information he got.
Dragon Slayer Class ??
"That's the lesson I can give; I hope this helps you on your way, kid."
Hearing this, he tried to stop the old man with all his strength, trying to speak.
"Stoo-p."
But right after he said, the old man disappeared, and the room that had been a classroom turned back into a room filled with many corpses.
"Huh ..."
His whole body was sweating, his eyes were bulging, and his heart was beating fast. He then took a deep breath and let it out and looking around.
"I'm back; what was that? System, did you record the incident?"
While waiting for the system's response, he felt nervous, hoping that the system was recording because he was out of focus earlier.
After a few minutes had passed, the system had not yet come up with an answer. He repeatedly swallowed salvia, hoping the system would record the incident.
[System: Yes, host.]
"Safeeee. I was too shocked because of the effect of changing rooms, but fortunately, the system recorded ...
Wait...Did you speak earlier, system? "
[System: yes, host, this time, I can greet and reply to the conversation.]
"Hmm ..." Hearing this, curiosity arose in his mind.
"All right, then I ask, where did you come from, and why did you get inside my body?"
Immediately he received a clear answer from the system.
[System: Unknown command.]
Seeing this, Desmond frowned. " Didn't you say earlier, you can respond to my question? "
[System: Unknown command.]
"Ok, looks like this is just a waste of time.
Replay the incident earlier. "
Desmond then sat on the floor with his eyes closed, re-watching the strange incident.
…
After watching it countless times and coming to a conclusion, Desmond finally opened his eyes.
"Okay, I get it now. So the old man only gave a brief explanation, terms, and effects if he had succeeded in reaching dragon class.
That's cool, but he didn't say how to get dragon blood in an era like this, fuck! "
By the time he re-watched, he was already getting interested in this class in the first minutes, but in the end, the interest turned into annoyance.
"Huff, relax, so now I just have to find out how to get this class, and also why don't people mention this class?"
Desmond then stood up and walked towards the bookshelf, which seemed to contain the old books that were worn out.
Taking the books one by one, he just touched them, opened all the book pages, and then closed them again.
"Have you all been a record system?"
[System: yes, host]
[
Conclusion System: From the results of the analysis, it was found that to reach the 1st class of Dragon Slayer, system advised the host to drink blood from the dragon and used some elf and demon blood.
]
Desmond was shocked. "What ?! did you tell me to become a vampire? How about just gathering energy? Isn't that enough? "
[
System Conclusion: This is the method by which systems design the most perfect host body.
Considering that a long time had passed and even dragon blood was extremely impossible to find, the system would purify some indirect offspring of dragons by using several animal and beasts race.
This purification is done by activating the pentagram on the floor.
]
"Oh, that means I don't have to drink all the blood from the bodies of beasts, elves, or demons?"
[System: it's correct host.]
Hearing this, Desmond became very relieved. "At least I just need to control some of their emotions that old man mentioned.
Hopefully, that can be the only way for me to heal my hands. "
Since the Master Witches and Wizards' disappearance, Desmond's hopes have started to fade in them. At first, he didn't want to ask them for help because surely nothing was free in this world; moreover, besides Leona, Noel, and Grimm, Desmond didn't know a master wizard or witch. Others, instead, he was not familiar with asking them to heal his hands.
"Dragonslayer, huh ... it sounds very familiar."
Desmond then walked over, examining the pentagram drawn on the ground.
"And this thing is used to purify the blood?"
He noticed that each tip of the pentagram contained several candles. This pentagram also seemed to have been made using blood, as some of the lines used to make the pentagram were blood red.
"For the purification process of dragon blood, I understand using some indirect dragon-blooded beast, but why does the system also say it requires elf blood?"
[
System Conclusion: According to information from the book, pentagrams were made by elves. Therefore elf blood is needed to make this pentagram work.
]
"Then why is the blood of a Demon child also necessary?"
[
System Conclusion: Blood from demon children is needed to increase the authenticity of dragon blood, and demon blood can maximize the potential of every animal, and beast.
]
"I see, so elves are used as triggers, demons are used as stimulants, and the main ingredient is dragon sub-type beasts.
But, how strong is this Dragon Slayer class? "
[
System Conclusion: According to the information from the book, 1st DragonSlayer power is equal to five 1st Wizard / Witch
]
"Holy shit, that's amazing, but if you think about the necessary processes and conditions, this class is very appropriate."
Desmond then checked every bit of this room; he looked for something as valuable as a pentagram but after a long time found nothing.
"Tch, that's all that's valuable. It's better from now on to collect the materials."
Exiting the room, he then lifted the door, which had collapsed and returned its position and directed his hand towards the door.
"Custom spell: Freeze."
Several droplets of water coming out of his hand and touching the door; when the water touched the door, the water immediately turned into ice until it slowly froze the entire surface of the door.
"Done, at least this is just in case."
Unlike other magicians who have to use water first to freeze something or need water around it, Desmond uses the water in his body instead.
