Iko didn’t know if she should hide, wait, or just fly towards Aiden.

  But her biggest doubt was, why were the other 2 coming straight at her direction as well?!

  I wanted to try out the skill...

  She decided to wait and see what is going on.

  After like 5 minutes, the 3 carriages managed to get to her, they were faster than normal carriages since apparently all of them were royalty, since humans are the most populated, they have tons of kingdoms, so people can’t really tell what royal family owns the carriage.

  But elves, dwarves, demons and beast kin have only 1 royal family.

  “Oh, look who we have here? The only hot prince around the humans~” The demoness that came out of the carriage said.

  She had a pair of horns coming from the side of her head, her red hair with streaks of black did have a nice look at it, and Iko already liked her because she wasn’t wearing a dress, but instead some kind of training armor.

  Dresses are the biggest evil in this world...

  “Lilia, I would like it if you stopped trying to seduce my brother” Fay said while getting off the carriage while Rainari landed on Iko’s head.

  “Rainari. Get. Off” Iko said strong enough for the elves that got off the carriage and weren’t even near to the conversation to notice her draconic aura.

  Rainari quickly got off while mumbling something about injustice and karma.

  “Are you alright Iko?” Aiden asked while ignoring the demoness, who was ignoring Fay while still trying to seduce Aiden.

  “I’m fine, that stupid dragon though he could have a chance with me, you can have his corpse if you want, I don’t really need it” Iko said pointing at the corpse of the black dragon.

  And apparently just then everyone notices the huge dead dragon and dead insects around them.

  Are they blind?

  “You... killed a dragon... in their territory?” The elf man that got out from his carriage said.

  “Of course, and I’m also a dragon, so also my territory, he didn’t even have a name. A stupid lizard was what he was” Iko said calmly.

  “Only royal dragons can kill other dragons without a punishment!” The demoness said while clinging onto Aiden.

  “And I am a royal dragon, don’t cry so much” Iko said rolling her eyes.

  “Iko, we all met the current royal dragons already. There is no way you are a royal dragon, don’t lie” Aiden said with concern in his eyes.

  “But I’m not?” Iko said, confused.

  Why is it so hard to believe?

  Before anyone else could say anything, Iko heard a roar in the distance, and she looked in that direction, she saw another dragon flying towards them.

  Guess I was going to find another dragon soon after waking up...

  Before she could do anything, the 3 royals started to activate... magic shields?

  What the fuck is that shield supposed to do against a dragon?

  Iko could see from the distance that the dragon was a dragon without sapience, so most likely it only followed its instincts.

  “I wonder how strong this is...” Iko started to walk towards the dragon.

  “Iko? What are you doing? Get in here!” Aiden said shouting at her from behind his shield.

  When the dragon was close enough, Iko roared.

  As the dragon fell to the ground from her roar, she identified it.

  So... Weak.

  Iko opened her mouth once again, but this time she didn’t roar, Iko could feel her body grabbing corruption from her soul and the next moment, a beam of corruption came out her mouth and destroyed the dragon’s head.

  “I... love it! This skill is amazing!” Iko screamed of excitement, she finally had a ranged attack!

  She turned around and saw Fay and Aiden with their mouth open, the other 2 royals were in a similar situation, but also shaking.

  “What? It was barely level 25, he was a weakling, couldn’t even talk the fucker” Iko said.

  “Y-you killed another dragon...” the demoness said.

  “Okay don’t you dare exaggerate! I am a royal dragon, okay? Don't think much about it” Iko said, already tired of their stupid complaints.

  “Let’s just go to the tower, shall we? I'm bored in here” Iko said while walking towards the direction of the tower.

  Aiden didn’t exaggerate as much before...

  “You can’t blame them at all, dragons are the closest race to the gods, even closer than angels, so it is pretty special to be a royal dragon, and killing dragons is like killing potential gods” The demon said behind her.

  “I forgot you existed for a moment...”

  “Rude”

  “You guys coming?” Iko asked, turning her head towards them.

  But before any of the other royals answered, Iko noticed that a certain warm that had been with her for the last 2 days wasn’t there anymore, and as she looked at herself, she saw her cloak missing.

  Lilia was speechless, that dragon girl had killed 2 dragons, 2! In their territory and was saying she was a royal dragon! That amount of disrespect was insane, even if the dragons she killed had low level, since herself and the other royals all were level 30, you had completely prohibited to kill a dragon, you can incapacitate them and kill them outside, but inside the land of the dragons? That was just suicide!

  “Aiden... you seemed to know her... who the fuck is she?!” Lilia quickly asked the man she liked to tease.

  “Her name is Iko... we used to be childhood friends, I met her 13 years ago, but she disappeared 10 years ago...” He sighed “And when I meet her now, she became a dragon, and according to her, a royal dragon...” He deactivated his shield after the woman killed the dragon.

  “Childhood friend?” Lilia was surprised, other royals knew Aiden as being someone cold who didn’t really care for others.

  “Yeah... the strange thing is that she claims to have lost all her memories except those of a few months ago, but when she saw me, she apparently started remembering about me, but my biggest concern are those chains” Aiden said looking at the dragon woman with concern on his eyes.

  Why can’t you look at me with those eyes?

  Then a killing aura surrounded the place, the source?

  The woman.

  “Rainari... Where is my cloak?” The woman said.

  Who is Rainari?

  To Lilia’s surprise, the bird that was with Aiden and Fay started talking.

  “C-calm down Iko... your cloak should be around here, we just need to look for it-” The bird said before being interrupted.

  “I said, where is it?” The woman said with authority, and Lilia saw the bird started bowing.

  “I-it disappeared... Your Majesty...” The bird said with its head down.

  The woman then turned, all this time she had been showing her back to them, but when she turned, she had cracks around her face.

  “Disappeared you say? And how could that have happened?” The cracks became bigger.

  “I don’t know, but while you were unconscious, the cloak suddenly disappeared. It was covered by a black aura filled with eyes, eyes that looked deep down once soul, then it disappeared” The bird was sweating, Lilia didn’t even know a bird could sweat!

  “A black aura with eyes...” She seemed to notice something “You can stop bowing now, I found it, sorry about that, hope I didn’t look weird” She said and a cloak suddenly appeared over her body while the cracks in her eye seemed to close.

  “W-what was that?” Aiden asked her.

  “Something happened these last few months, it’s hard to control my emotions, that’s all I’m going to say about the situation” She said while turning again and preparing to leave.

  “Ah! Iko wait for us!” Aiden screamed while he ordered his soldiers to prepare everything.

  Lilia sighed.

  She seemed more of a demon than I am... who the fuck is she?

  She decided that she would win Aiden by defeating that woman someday.

  The Watcher...

  Iko still didn’t know what her title or that skill meant, they were corrupted beyond what she could read, but apparently her skill was connected to The Watcher.

  She called Rainari over to her, and Rainari landed on her arm, looking at Iko with fear in her eyes.

  “I’m sorry about that... it’s just, the cloak is important to me, and I can’t control my emotions well lately, is there anything I can do so you forgive me?” Iko asked trying to sound gentle.

  Rainari seemed to think about it before answering.

  “Remember when we first met? You gave me some kind of liquid; I wanna try it again” She said while trying to sound mature.

  “you mean...” Iko face started to turn red “My blood?”

  “If what you gave me that time is your blood, then yes” Rainari said casually.

  Iko sighed.

  A deal is a deal.

  “How much?” She said while lifting her tail near Rainari mouth, even if it changed appearance, it should still have the same abilities.

  “Whatever you want to give me, i can eat a lot”

  Iko then started dropping blood over Ranari’s beak, around the same amount she had injected inside the beast.

  “Well, let’s see what happens on the way to the tower, I just hope I don’t have to fight again”

  Emilia walked with the soldiers, but in handcuffs, they would not last if she touched them, but if using them was enough to see her father, she would do it, when she came out of her hiding spot the soldiers all pointed at her with their spears, apparently they got a notification about the secret boss appearing.

  I wonder how dad will react

  When they got to the camp the soldiers were using, she saw all the soldiers with their spears pointing towards her. She knew it was a precaution since some hidden bosses can take the form of loved ones, but it still hurt, being pointed out by so many weapons.

  Her father then came out from the camp; she called for him.

  “Dad! It’s me! Em-” She was interrupted.

  “SILENCE!” He screamed.

  She was shocked; her father had never screamed at her like that.

  “You will answer my questions if you want me to believe you are my daughter!”

  Questions? Can’t you just see it’s me?

  She hated that, but it made sense.

  “Ask away” She said, hurt.

  “What was the name of your mother?”

  “Nyx Ironheart, Maiden name is Nyx Shadowclaw” She said, remembering her mother.

  “What did she die from?”

  “She was killed by a hidden boss in a B rank dungeon” She was hurt, having to remember those events.

  “You realize what you are, right?”

  “A hidden boss...” She looked at the ground, not wanting to see her father’s eyes, but while looking at the floor, she saw it. A tiny spear was coming out of her father's armor.

  Aren’t those spears the ones contaminating the dungeon?

  She looked up at the eyes of her father, they were empty, they had no dreams, hope or objective.

  He- he got contaminated?

  “So, you not only took my daughter appearance but also stole her memories?!” He lifted his sword towards her neck.

  “But I am your daughter!” She screamed, hurt, she could feel tears running down her face, her heart ached at seeing her father not recognizing her.

  “SHUT UP! YOU VILE MONSTER!” He was about to behead her, but while no one was looking at her hands, she disintegrated the handcuffs and then grabbed her father's sword, it was resistant, but it fell rather quickly to her hands.

  As everyone was shocked, she ran, she ran towards the jungle with tears in her eyes, her heart aching and breathing with difficulty.

  She used her gravity manipulation skill unconsciously, her jump length was increased thanks that gravity stopped affecting her as much, but she couldn’t control it.

  Different places around her, some as small as an egg, others as big as a carriage, lost all gravity or increased ten-fold.

  Her body wasn’t able to control where it absorbed from, her clothes, thankfully, were never absorbed, but everything else that touched her body disappeared, some beasts tried to attack her more than once, but the moment their claws or teeth touched her skin, they disappeared, she ran, inside the jungle until her legs couldn’t move anymore.

  She collapsed next to a tree, slowly losing consciousness, only thinking about that cold stare her father had looked at her with.
