As Iko flew towards the tower, she had killed a couple of monsters by accident with the spears, and she just noticed the spears seemed to ignore the cloak, same with her wings.
Strange...
When the sun started to hide, Iko descended because there was no way she would be able to keep herself on the right track at night.
As she descended into the sand, she wondered if she should sleep or just wait for daytime.
“You should sleep” The demon said from behind her “From what I have seen you should be pretty tired mentally, so go to sleep, I’ll wake you up if anything, and I'm pretty sure those spears will protect you on your sleep”
He does have a point...
“Fine, but stop with your fake worry, there is no way someone who kills for fun can ever feel worried for someone” She said while throwing herself into the sand and covering herself with her wings, it had only been a day since she had slept last, but the day before that she ate her arm, and then she had 2 memories injected into her head and killed humans, the spears and cracks destroying her body were also bad for her.
I’m just going to sleep for a few minutes...
Her mind started wandering into sleep as she closed her eyes.
It had only been a few seconds, but she had already opened her eyes, the difference was the sand beneath her was cold, and she could hear the ocean next to her.
It was the ocean she was trapped in the day she went crazy, which was like 3 days ago...
“Why am I here?” Iko asked herself before feeling a hungry gaze on her.
“Hasn’t been so long since we seen each other, has it?” The sea serpent said after emerging from the water, Iko still felt terrified of it, but seeing the chains around its body she felt more secure.
“Why am I here? Can't I have some rest now adays?” Iko said while getting up and cleaning the sand off her clothes while trembling slightly.
“Well, I wanted to thank you for the quality meal you brought me, and ask you why my eye is white now” The sea serpent said while turning to look at its right, as Iko did the same, she saw the human who had damaged her cloak.
“Why is he here?” She asked, doing her best to not attack him right here and now, she could feel her breathing becoming heavy.
“You think I know!? Form what I just heard you are that smoke monster! You are the one that brought me here! I feel my injuries every bloody moment of the day and I'm being devoured by that lizard every hour! You two are a fucking duo of lizards!” The man screamed while hiding behind a tree that looked weird since the trunk was curvier, and its leaves were much longer but less in quantity.
“Did you just call us...”
“Lizards?”
Iko and the sea serpent, who clearly was more than just that, said and the next moment the body of the man was devoured by the sea serpent just to appear once again next to her, just to be pierced by the black spears who followed her wherever she was.
As the man screamed Iko turned back to the sea serpent and answered its questions.
“I have no idea how he got in here, I just corrupted him with my new eye, which is why your eye is white now I'm pretty sure, and I thought I had killed him by accident as the system said so” Iko said while stabbing the man every time he revived.
“Corruption? I never heard anything with that name”
“It’s like... the power of the end? But bigger and reality ending, I think” She decided to tell it.
Even it doesn’t know about it? Is Jaul really the only one who knows about it? Wait...
“Are you for any chance... the dragon of the end of the world?” Iko asked while backing away slowly, the energy that came from him was similar to corruption, but more... wild but weaker.
“You know about me? You looked pretty clueless last time” The now not so sea serpent said.
Bitch
“How was I supposed to know that?!” Iko tried acting tough, but she was pretty scared of him, her heart was beating rapidly, and her tail was entangled with her thigh.
“I mean... if you absorbed my blood the least you could expect is seeing me, isn’t it?” He said as if it was the most obvious thing ever.
“I didn’t do it in purpose! That guy I fought when I went crazy forced it into my veins!” Iko was getting annoyed at the fucking most scary dragon that ever existed.
“Cry about it” The beast said as it disappeared into the sea, mostly being dragged by the chains.
Bitch, once again
“But you do make good to the name of us, the dragons of the end with that power and attitude, you did good hiding your fear from me, so good job” He said from under the water, and for some reason, she felt... happy about that?
Before Iko could process what she was feeling she had woken up with the sun starting to rise.
Three fucking nights in a row... let me have real sleep for Elar sake!
Why had she used the name of the goddess of ice? She didn’t know but it felt good.
“Did anything happen while I was sleeping?” Iko asked the demon who was resting on a nearby rock.
“Not much, just those humans over there camping nearby your patch of spears, since you don’t think ALL humans are your enemies, the spears didn’t attack anyone until they got to close, and it was mostly a threat then, but all monsters just got pierced by your spears” The demon said while pointing at different places, and just as he said, they were plenty of monsters dead pierced by at least a dozen spears, and on the other side there was a carriage with humans inside and around it, they seemed to be resting and healing, some were wearing armor and others had some formal clothing, completely the opposite of her own clothing.
“Do they know I’m here?” Iko asked the demon.
“They don’t, they just think this is the left-over attack from a dragon” He said as he got up.
“Beings who can make this a left-over of an attack actually exist?” Iko asked him as she cleaned her cloak form the sand, her clothes were part of her soul so with a though the sand just disappeared.
“They did back then, no idea now” He said while shrugging.
“Oh, ok” She said as she opened the system to see if she got any special notification, specifically about that... she didn’t know if she would call it dream.
What?
She looked at the notification with shock, she checked the next one.
“What the...” The demon turned to look at her.
“WHAT THE FUCK?!” Iko screamed at the top of her lungs.
The humans turned to her as they heard her scream, and apparently, they didn’t see a smoke monster like others but were rather shocked with the spears on her body.
"What's wrong with you?!" The demon screamed at her.
"Shut up. Shut up and if you talk I'll destroy my brain right now" and he did shut up.

How much more things are you going to give me you bitch! First, I become a dragon, then I get corruption, then I’m being near a death event from being THE end, then I’m the heir of the fucking corruption, then a royal dragon, then I'm whatever these spears mean, then I'm connected to that Helen girl, AND NOW I’M A FUCKING LEADER OF A DRAGON FAMILY?!
As the humans were about to start running Iko turned her head towards them.
“You guys! Stay there! If you dare to run, I’ll follow you to the end of the world!” She screamed at them before turning back to the system for answers.
“FUCKING EXPLAIN YOURSELF!” She said as she tried to grab the system window, but as expected, she just phased through it.
“I guess... but just why is it happening?” She asked the system while slightly trembling and biting her lip, her heart beating rapidly against her chest as if trying to escape.
“What?” Iko asked confused.
The quests aren’t the system doing?
Fine but... what am I even supposed to now? I need to get a dragon heart so I don’t die, I need to find that crown you mentioned, I need to find those fragments, I need to know about my past and how history apparently was rewritten, and now I need to order around dragons?
“Fine” Iko started to control her breathing which had gone crazy and cleaned the blood that came from her biting her lip.
And just now she noticed that the few rocks around were all destroyed and sliced, and concidentially, her tail was covererd in dust and debris.
She sighed.
I really need to control myself, going crazy and eating myself, going crazy when I evolved because I was alone, going crazy when someone damaged this stupid piece of clothing, and just not wearing this fucking collar makes me go crazy too...
She started walking towards the humans, who were shaking pretty badly.
“I’m tired and I want real sleep, so let’s do this” She pointed at the spears “My spears will protect you while I sleep inside your carriage and you can continue your journey, deal?”
She said while jumping inside the carriage without even waiting for their answer.
“W-what are you doing?!” one of the armored guys from before said.
“You can’t enter a royal carriage just like that!” another armored guys said.
“Fuck off, I’m tired, try to attack me and you will be pierced by dozens of spears” She said while taking the place on the window seat and resting her head on the window with the demon resting on the roof of the carriage.
As she drifted to sleep to actually rest this time, she heard the guards try to get her to leave the carriage, but she just moved her tail around their armor a warning that she could destroy their armor.
They said royal carriage, didn’t they? Whatever I’m also a royal so they can suck my tail... Or better if they don’t
What the fuck is happening...
Aiden Kring was stunned looking at the woman who just threaten to kill them and then decided to sleep inside his carriage.
“Brother... do you think she would answer me if I asked her how she got such a beautifull hair?” Said his sister, Fay Kring, not really thinking about how a fucking dragon with spears growing out of her body, slave collar and her body shattering just entered their carriage.
“Your majesty, what should we do? From what we can see, she’s a dragon...” One of the royal guards said.
“No shit, Ghall” He answered while looking at the woman.
“Well... we did kind of abuse her power earlier this night didn’t we?” His sister said, gesturing to the field of spears around them “We could let her rest for a while...”
“Fine, but only because we are in a hurry to get to the tower” He said as he sighed and entered the carriage before telling the guards to summon the horses, it was way more convenient to use summoning magic to bring horses than to bring actual horses.
“Brother... may I sit next to her?” His sister asked while hiding her arms on her back.
“No, now get in here and sit next to me” He said while patting the seat next to him.
“You are boring! Adults are boring!” She said while sitting next to him.
You are sixteen years old... don’t act like you have twelve...
As the carriage started moving, the spears started following, clearly showing the woman ownership over them.
How did we get entangled with a dragon?
He sighed.
I’m not even that old... barely 19 and I’m already sighing so frequently, that’s not a good sign.
As the hours passed by, it didn’t seem they would be getting to the tower anytime soon.
Suddenly the carriage trembled with intensity, until now, every monster was killed by the spears, but if this one didn't die it meant it was most probably a flying monster.
I hate those
Just as he was about to leave the carriage to go help, the woman woke up.
“What’s with all the shaking?” She said while yawning.
“A flying monster, your spears can’t reach him apparently” He said while getting off the carriage and looking outside, not trying to spend more time talking to her than he should.
As his feet landed on the sand below, he heard a growl and screaming.
All his royal guard were on the ground wounded, expect from one, Ghall, he was the strongest out of them after all.
“You coward! Come down here and fight!” He screamed at the monster.
Aiden turned his head towards the monster, it was ugly, but it was also powerful, its head was that of a bird without any kind of skin, just flesh, its wings were that of an eagle, and its body was that of a spider.
What the fuck is that?!
“That thing is ugly, and it smells bad” The woman said following him outside, his sister apparently was able to sleep with all the shaking and screaming.
Suddenly the woman took flight towards the monster and landed on top of it, taking the advantage of its confusion, she... stabbed it with her tail on the neck.
“Hope your flesh tastes better than how you look, and at least I don’t have to corrupt you, you already are~ I’ll take the buffet happily” She said and while the monster did its best to get her off, she cut its head off with her tail, it body falling to the ground with a cloud of sand.
As the cloud of sand dispersed, the woman was already biting the monster body and legs, and that was horrific to see, but the woman looked exited and was blushing while eating.
That shit can’t be THAT good, not going to try either way
“Thank yo-” Ghall was interrupted as he was getting near her.
“That was so cool!” His sister came running from the carriage towards the woman, apparently faking her sleep the entire time.
“How cool! I also want to fly! Why are your wings so broken? And why is your tail so weird? And the collars and cracks! Oh, and the spears! How did you do it!” Fay drowned the woman in questions, not minding the carcass of whatever that monster was that now had bites on it.
2 wierdos... Ghall, what will we do with this 2? That woman does feel familiar though...
Annoying
Iko grabbed the girl with her tail and throwed her straight at her brother.
“Don’t annoy me, I’m eating” And besides that, she didn’t really want to explain anything to her.
“Hey, nothing personal but... do you plan on going to the tower?” The man said, the one that was screaming to the... whatever that was, it was weak, and that was it.
“Yup, why you ask?” She said with the flesh of the monster on her mouth.
“We are also going there; would you mind telling us why you want to go there?” The nice clothing guy said, and Iko could see him trying his best to keep his stomach in place.
“System said so, I need to go to be higher than level 30” She said while letting the non-corrupted part of the monster rot on the ground, it may have looked horrible, but god dang it tasted good, at least the corrupted part, she had no idea the rest, she would not try it either way.
“We are here for the same reason, since the tower appeared everyone that gets to level 30 haves to go to the tower to advance” He said while pointing at the tower of corruption.
“Cool, since we are going to travel together, gimme your names, I don’t feel like identifying any of you” Not since she's scared she accidentally corrupts them with her eye, she would have to try to see what would happen if she identified with that eye, they haven’t done anything to her yet, and they allowed her to sleep in that comfy carriage, so no corrupting them.
“You have a identifying skill? Normally only level 100 or higher have those skills...” The woman said with sparks on her eyes.
“I’m a dragon, pretty sure all dragons can identify” after all, she was sure everyone had [The Dragon Eye] or something like that, she forgot the name of the skill and she's too lazy to see what the name was.
“Well, I’m Aiden Kring, prince of the empire of Kring, this is my sister” He gestured at the girl, she hadn’t identified them, but she knew from before they were siblings, that one was obvious.
“I’m Fay Kring! Hope we become friends!” She said while trying to hug her, not caring about the amount of blood or, whatever that monster was, guts all over Iko, but she just pushed her back with her wings.
“I’m Ghall, I have no last name as I’m no noble, thanks again for helping us” the armored guy said while doing a small bow.
“Iko, Iko Noulan, as you can see, I’m a dragon, sometimes I go crazy, mostly without the chains or if someone damages my cloak, don’t do anything like that, and we are good” She said giving them warnings so they don’t die, but hiding the fact she is a royal dragon, even though they said they were royals of the always-late empire who for some reason has a king-
“Oh and... you still want your men to live? They look pretty dead right now and might be in a few minutes” Iko pointed at the soldiers who were still all unconscious and bleeding, their screams had stopped a while ago.
“Shit!” Ghall started running towards them with the so-called Fay who began healing them, with Aiden following them.
Healing magic, that one is rare.
She looked at the system.
The last one I unlocked was like 3 days ago, this one was fast... I’ll try em out later, but that guy...Aiden, he feels familiar.
Stop Jaul suffering with his dungeon?
