“I’m leaving this to you and Eline. Agunan will bring her over when he es here.” I told Einar of his assig. “Do you uand what you o do?”

  “Yes, my Lord.” Einar answered.

  Today was the day. What day? The day I head to the Dragon Coast with Agunan.

  Now what about the assighat I just gave Einar and Eline? Well, it is something simple. I just told them to spread fertilizer for the mana flowers.

  It is one of the problems with HomeBase. While the mana flowers bloom here just fine and they don’t eveo be watered, as the enviroal trol spell make it rain to water them, the soil itself will lose its nutrients, so some sort of fertilizer has to be spread on it. And the mana flowers be quite demanding, so they need fertilizer about every other week or so. A lesser amount every week would be better, but I just don’t have the personnel for it, unless I do it myself with some of my pnt-type monsters. Acc to my Pnt-type monsters, this shouldn’t be a problem in other pces, as the ground should take care of itself, but HomeBase is a ‘closed system’, so it needs some additional nutrients.

  And as I said, I was going to take care of this with my Pnt-type monsters, but Einar wao stay here so he get used to Lumi, so he take care of the fertilizer. And I’ll ask Alice to tell Agunan t Eline over wheeleports here, so Einar won’t have to do it alone.

  As for why Agunan is telep here. Well for one because he . Actually, I as well. Chaos God Dungeons just be built different. And with HomeBase still levitating above where I located it, this pce is closest ton Coast, so the travel time will be the shortest.

  I might have woken up just a bit early, so I could say goodbye to Lua before she headed to the vilge for her teag job, so I was waiting on Agunan. I wasted a bit of time by just opening some packs, trying to pull the st Sacred Beast card. I have most cards from Shadow of Infinity, but I’d really like to pull Raviel myself before I let Laura take over.

  (Laura. You are free to fully plete Shadow of Infinity now. I’ll move onto opening Enemy of Justice paext. … ime I feel like opening packs.)

  (As you wish. I shall get the rest of it in no time.) Laura answered.

  (Don’t rush. I have most of it already.)

  (I don’t have much else to do while you sleep. We don’t have that many projects going on.)

  (... you don’t feel like designing the WDBDD?) [Weakening Dimensional Barrier Dete Device]

  (I wish I could, but I simply do not know how to.) Laura apologized.

  (Yeah. I uand. If you did, then the Goddess would as well. And I wouldn’t have to worry about it.)

  (... you already don’t.) Laura pointed out.

  (I do.) I tered. (... at least a little.)

  Some time after my pack opening, Agunan finally teleported to HomeBase with Elihey apparently were a bit te, because Agunan ate a huge breakfast, in preparation for what will likely happen today.

  I gave Eline a quick rundown of what I expected her to do with Einar, reminded both of them where the food ste was, and just made sure the two of them could make it. And if they ran into issues, they could ask Endy to tact me via the Citadel core.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]

  “Alright. I’ll summon Gradius.” I said to Agunan.

  “No. I shall fly us there.” Agunan stated. “They may attack your ship, if we use it.”

  “... alright. Then I guess I’ll ride you. I don’t really want to be a flying practice target for a dragon.”

  “I will transform, so we get going.” Agunan said.

  “Wait! Wait! Wait!” I interrupted. “Not here. You might crush those flower arras. Let’s get just a bit further away first.”

  I should probably make a dedicated nding and take-off area somewhere. … Did Lua mention seeing something like that? I feel like she might have.

  Riding on Agunan, who had reverted into his dragon form, the two of us headed west. Agunahe route, so I didn’t really o do anything, except hold on. It wasn’t actually that difficult, to be ho. And because it wasn’t, I spent the flight practig skills I could practice while riding, aka. Draic magic. … not that I have the skill yet, but I’m w on it. And being a Dragoed when I see dragons just seems like a good idea.

  At first, Agunan was flying at speeds uhe speed of sound, but after he was sure I would stay on even if he sped up, Agunan accelerated a bit, while also raising his altitude, and we ended up traveling at a speed around mach 2.1. The dragon told me that he could go about twice this speed if he went all out, but this was already like a fast running speed to him, while his top speed was like a maximum sprint, so he never exceeded this speed, outside of practiergencies. Good to know about how fast a greater dragon fly, but there might also be differences between dragons. But still, Gradius being able to go mach 20 imosphere is a lot faster.

  {You see it noill be arriving soon.} Agunan told me after just under one hour of flight. By the way, he eaking in draic, as it is easier while in dragon form. And I uand it just fine, so o make things more difficult for him.

  As I looked past the dragon’s head, I saw the o opening up before us. I moved from the sea to the nd, above which we were still flying, I saw mountains. The entire coast was filled with mountainous nds. While there did seem to be a small coastal region with beaches and stuff, but the nd quickly rose and turned into said mountains. And there were a lot of those mountains. Just ting the peaks, there were well over 100 separate peaks. Some of them were also clearly volic, as there was smoke ing out one or two of them, and some were clearly made from va rock.

  After the mountains, there was a small wastend style area, which holy looked like a dragons’ fighting ground. It looked like it used to be a part of the Ever forest, but after being burned, stomped on and just pummeled repeatedly by dragons, nothing grew there anymore and it was just rock.

  If I moved my gaze even deeper innd, the Ever forest soon began.

  So sea, some beach/coastal region quickly followed by mountains. Then the wastends/rocky area, then the Ever forest.

  I kept looking around as we flew and quickly began spotting dragons. They were all over the pce. As I focused more, I even noticed that some of them were looking at us.

  Eventually, Agunan began a slow dest, by cirg a single mountain peak. It wasn’t one of the volic mountains, nor was it the tallest peak, but it was one of the rgest mountains in terms of area. Is this where Agunan’s home is? Or does some mighty dragon live here?

  Well, I was about to find out.

  {Wele back, ??????.} A dragon's voice greeted Agunan, as we nded. I uood the first part of it, but even with my Language prehension (draic), the st part of it was something I didn’t uand.

  {Yes. I do apologize I couldn’t e back sooner, ??? ??????.} Agunan respoo the dragon, again saying something I couldn’t uand.

  {Do not worry child. I uand that to keep your pride, you had no choice but to stay by the side of this human.} The dragon said. sidering that he… or is he a she, called Agunan a child, he must be some sort of an elder of this pce. {I see that he has even evolved into a Dragoed. You really did dedicate yourself to him.}

  {Yes. He did defeat me. In a battle I challenged him to. Even resurrected me after I died. I simply had no other choiot that I regret the one I made.}

  The dragon Agunan was talking to wasn’t like most dragons here. He was a massive, and I really mean massive, serpentine dragon. He had to be over 100 meters long, if measured from head to the tip of the tail. And even if you take someone like Agunan, who does seem to be on the rger side, he is only about 45 meters from head to the tip of the tail. Maybe 50 if he really stretches. So this one was a ler. Or maybe serpentine dragons just are naturally bigger.

  It is iing, as the other dragons I’ve seen have all beeern style dragons. But this one was a serpentine dragon. Aremely long snake-like body, with both front and back legs ing out of it. And a pair of absolutely massive wings, that looked almost like overkill on that long, but thin frame.

  He/she was a mix of bronze and gold in color. The main scale was a bronze, or brown-ish in color, while the underside of his body was the molden yellow color, as was his wing membrane.

  {Master. Allow me to introduce you.} Agunan spoke to me, whie out of my thoughts. {This is the ruler of the Dragon Coast. Lady ??? ??????, but that name is likely difficult for you, so please address her as Lady Ami Janina.}

  Okay. So she is a female. Good to know. And if I was to go based off of her looks, she is likely either ah ht attributed dragon.

  “Okay. Thanks.” I said to Agunan. “Lady Ami Janina. It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Brian Wood. I thank you for allowio visit your domain.” I of course made sure to speak all of that using Language prehension (draic).

  {Yes. The pleasure is mine, young Dragoed, master of the Golden Giant and the Master of ??????.} The dragon responded. She said that strahing again, but it sounded just like what he said to Agunan, so I think that is Agunan’s dragon name. He did say it would be difficult to pronounce for humans. {I have been looking forward to our meeting.} She then added, and some ominous feeling came to be on the hills of the mountain.

  … I’m not sure I like the sound of that. Why has she been looking forward to this? And what about this aura she is letting out?

  “I am happy to live up to your expectations.” I resporying to keep the ominous feeling that popped up from affeg my speech. It could be just intimidation, so I shouldn’t fall for it.

  We spoke for a bit longer, me expining Exodia and my dragons to Lady Ami Janina. She had already heard the story from the dragons Agunan brought with him, but she still seemed gd to rehear the story from me.

  But as she wasn’t yet satisfied, she asked me to tell about things I’ve doh before and after meeting Agunan. So I told her about the big things I’d done. I didn’t tell her about me being from another world, but I did tell her about founding a dungeoing my System Support, fighting wyverns, sprites, and all other kinds of monsters, and how all of that eventually led to me testing Exodia and the Agunan ing to say hi.

  Then I told her about the things that happened after Agunan joined us, mainly the quest of HomeBase. The dragon was quite impressed when I told her about us taking down a six-headed hydra, saying that that couldn’t have been an easy target, only funan to ugh a bit, as he stated that it looked quite easy for me.

  {You really are that powerful? I do not sehat kind of power from you.} Ami Janina stated.

  “No, my Lady. I am not. I summon powerful monsters, but I myself am still quite weak pared to even someone like Agunan.” I corrected.

  {Yes. These summoned monsters. They must be quite something…}

  {My Lady. You should sider fighting one of them. My training with my Masters monsters has made me quite powerful, and I still ot beat the stro of them.}

  Agunan! Stop that! Don’t egg on the super dragon.

  {Yes. Perhaps I should.} Ami Janina seemed to ponder for a bit before she turned her gaze towards me. {Little Brian. Would you be so kind as to summon one of your stro moo fight me? As a reward, I shall give you what you want, as long as it is in my power.}

  Oh? That isn’t a bad deal, I think. I just ask for some of those dragon avatars for this, and all I have to do is summon a powerful moo fight her.

  To make things better, this pce seems to be far away from any areas humans live in, so I summon basically anything I want. And I just got Raviel today, so maybe it is the time to test out my Sacred Beasts? Agunan couldn’t beat Uria or Hamon in the factory, but maybe Lady Ami Janina .

  “Well, I do have something I came here to hopefully get. So if summoning a moo fight you is how I get it, I’d be more than happy to oblige.” I agreed tgestion.
