Chapter 267 267 Summit of the shrine
[El's POV: ]
The dragons are all dignified beings that have a strong sense of self, or we can also say they are narcissistic beings. Arrogant, powerful, a wonder of the world that only care about their own selves and only in some cases, about their family.
They cherish what is theirs more than anything else in this Worldline. And dispute the region, the floor of the Worldline, or the place they were natives of, dragons are majestic beings who do what they want.
'But, someone of that same dignified status, was all embarrassed and timid in front of us, kekeke.'
Cary was shouting at her for last few minutes now, disciplining her with his deep words and draconic tongue that must be using a great volume of his Mana.
'Good thing he was a dragon with practically unlimited Mana. At least that was helpful in situations like these.'
He was some of the few primordial beings of this Worldline and possessed great powers and authorities, one of which was his ability to control Mana as he wanted.
He could quite literally control the very origin strings of Mana that made every thing that existed in this Worldline.
He was a dumb little lizard, but he was originally an existence that needed to be sealed away by force in a practically empty realm.
He was also a dragonlord, the lord who ruled over their very kind and was naturally one of the few beings right below their originator, the offspring of the Worldline who's the true origin of all the dragons in this world.
'Was is dumb, but he isn't weak in any way.'
Even though he is degraded to this little self and has only a fraction of his true powers, he is still strong enough to talk back to an <SSS> rank like this cute dragon before us.
And he is good with the use of his skills as well so, he was using the perfect effects of his skills and titles to intimidate this grown up dragon who, quite frankly was more than strong enough to kill off both of us.
And since neither of us are immortal beings, we will most likely die if she had decided to actually fight back against intruders who intruded in her place.
[< Listen well, young lady. You have a very long way to go if you wish to call yourself a proper noble of dragon kind. >]
[ "Yes Lord Cary!" ]
She did not realise it herself, but I can tell she was liking the way he was shouting at her, the way he was cursing at her, and the way he was slamming his little paw on her giant head.
Those were clear signs of a masochist and they were pretty common among the dragons as well so it was pretty possible she was someone who, perhaps unknowingly, liked being dominated by someone stronger and more authorative.
'Thy were great creatures of nature and a symbol of power, however, they were creatures at the end of the day.'
Their natural instincts were above their knowledge and dignity sometimes, and when you are a adult who hasn't touched grass for thousands of years, it was only natural to be aroused by someone shouting at ayou like he was doing right now.
And, Cary was a <Supreme existence> on top of being a Dragonlord. An existence like hers, someone who has been an absolute strongest like her, would naturally be aroused in the presence of someone who was even higher in the natural hierarchy than her.
'Her behaviour was natural, and this was totally beneficial for me.'
[[ "Alright Cary. Tell her to get up. We gotta go to the summit now." ]]
[[ Tsk. I was having fun master… ]]
This bastard was actually having fun playing around with a little girl like her.
I see why he is my familiar instead of our amazing Anna.
[< Alright. I have a task for you, young one. >]
[ "Whatever you say, Lord Cary!" ]
[< Take us to the summit of this island- >]
[[ "Summit of the shrine, the garden of Prayers." ]]
[< I mean take us to the summit of that shrine over there, to the garden of prayers. >]
He was outright ordering her to do it as if he was her master now.
My little bastard was pretty good at playing dominant.
[ "O-of course, Lord Cary!" ]
But its still funny how an adult dragon as giant as a mountain in a sleeping position could be so docile in front of someone even smaller than myself.
Just how do these creatures perceive each other, I still wonder.
-Trrrr-trrrr-trrrr.
She moved her body for the first time as a small earthquake struck the island.
-Zhaaaaaaa…
She was majestic alredy, but when she stood up on her four legs, the legs that resembled giant pillars of some ancient structure of giants of the distant realm.
Her body was made of tree roots harder than any wood avalable on this island, her wings that she revealed for the first time were a green canopy intertwined with each other a natural geometric pattern that looked even more attractive than I remember, and, the green scales on her her back looked so shiny and attractive that I wanted them all for myself.

They were just gorgeous, especially in this dark part of the forest where little light could reach.
[ "Ugh…" ]
Her tail was long and resembled a long root of a tree going from the base of the tree all the way to another end of the forest.
[ "Lord Cary…" ]
She was an magnificent beast with three horns and eyes so gorgeous they rivalled Cathy's green eyes. And the special light in these eyes were proof of the abundant wisdom she held.
[[ "Why aren't you as amazing as her, Cary bastard?" ]]
[[ Hmmm? What do you mean master? I am much more amazing, majestic, large, great, noble, good, powerful, amazing, pretty, cool, attractive, skillful, and amazing than this little girl. Don't you know that alredy? ]]
"The way you said amazing three times just to emphasise it makes me want to slap the hell out of that innocent looking face of yours, but I will restrain myself for now so shut the hell up and let's go.
You are just a dumb floating cute thing right now, nothing more."
I have seen how amazing he looks when we first met but that wasn't his complete form either.
He was severely weakned in that empty realm and did not even have enough strength to maintain a physical form so both he and Anna were in their unique astral forms back then.
'Yes he at least has a physical body now, but that means nothing if he didn't actually look like how a majestic dragon actually should.'
He was just a pet in this cute form even if he could dominate an mountainous beast like hers.
[ "Please step on me." ]
Standing on all fours, she was bending her long head down before us, asking us to step on her… yup she definitely liked harsh treatment.
[[ "If I could have, I would have definitely taken her out with us." ]]
[[ Hmmm? Why can't you do that though? Because she is the core maintaining the bonds of this place? ]]
[[ "Yup. There would be no Shrine of Chiragya without her, or at least someone as powerful, important, and 'good' who can take her place." ]]
However, finding someone like that would be an arduous task that I have no intention of taking on.
"Come down. Step on her, lol."
I walked up to her head that was bowing before me and placed the floating Cary on top of her head before stepping on the soft soil like head of hers.
[< You have good control over the earth however the quality of soil is not good enough. Remember, soil changes depending on the geography while the earth remains the same.
The earth is what possesses the qualities and the soil is a quality of the earth. Understand the difference between the soil on which the seeds grow up to be a tree and the earth on which the forest is rooted into. >]
Those were some wise words coming from the dumb Cary. But they were perfectly valid.
His understanding of the world and its elements as a primordial being is as deep as it should be.
But he's still dumb.
[ "Earth and soil… I never thought about them separately until now…" ]
[< That's what makes you inferior! >]
[ "Eiiik!" ]
We were on top of her head now…
[< Stop the act and let's go. We do not have time to waste. >]
[ "Y-yes!" ]
She lifted her long head, adjusted her body for something that she must not have done in a long while, and spread her legs- I mean wings wide open.
It was the same as a mountain getting up after a long slumber so the entire forest area, everything present on this island was stunned for a second, however, they did not even dare move an inch.
The practical ruler of this place was moving right now so, insignificant beings like the others had no choice but to stay still for a moment. The beasts understood that instinctively.
Her wings were also so wide that it cast a dark shadow over a twelfth of the island and, when she was ready and had manipulated enough Mana to assist in her flight, with the wellness of the forest in mind, she covered herself in a barrier.
-Swiiiiiish! Swiiiiiiish!
So when she moved her wings, a storm that was created by the movement of those giant green wings, did not harm anything in the forest.
-Swiiiiiiiiiiiish~!
Then, she took off, and in a blink of an eye, we were flying above the forest…
[[ "When will you be able to do this, Cary? When are you going to grow up?" ]]
[[ I have no idea, master. The restrictions are decided by the main system so aside from the basic condition of leveling up, I have no idea what other conditions would release the seals on me. ]]
[[ "You're useless, tsk." ]]
The feeling of riding a dragon like hers wasn't anything new to me so I wasn't surprised or anything. I have had many chances to ride the celestial beings much more majestic than her, in places much prettier than this island.
This was my first time doing it in this life so it certainly was exhausting, but I was more interested in the destination than the amazing ride… that was only fifteen seconds long.
[ "I brought you here since you asked me to, miss. However, only those who are able to clear all the tests are able to actually use the powers of this place.
Coming here like this is only going to be good enough for sightseeing." ]
"You don't have to tell that to the master of a dragonlord, sweetie. I know what I am doing."
The feeling of flying over a forest while sitting on top of a dragon, looking down at the island ground where your friends are taking on the challenge of the late conquerer, knowing Lucy would alredy know what I did from the disturbed air and strange 'cloud' that cast a shadow on the ground… it was a fun moment.
But, the big dragon who had taken her humanoid form knew well just how amazing this place was for me to completely disregard the scenery when we are flying through the sky…
'I mean, isn't being in a gorgeous garden almost touching the clouds more fun than flying above a forest?'
I certainly think this place where only a few could even stand properly, was much more fun than flying on her head.
