"I’ve been walking for the past hours."he was breathing heavily

"Hey what can I use the core for."Hajime

"Notice the core is very special it’s the very soul of a dragon."Ai

"What?"Hajime

"Yes." Ai

"Okay so the core is what makes a dragon."Hajime

"Yes."Ai

"So that’s Glaciem just killed and took it’s skills or abilities but not the core."Ai

"So what happens if a dragon eats another dragon’s core?"Hajime

"Their souls will merge and create a different dragon with different abilities including both souls becoming that means non of them will exist in new soul."Ai

"Damm, So what happens if a person it’s a dragon’s core?"Hajime

"Good question people would mostly become dragon mutants that comes with your humanity and life span."Ai

"Rough!"Hajime

While walking in their icy path trying to find a town

"I’m tired of eating my poison!"Hajime

"How am I so terrible at cooking."Hajime

"Notice something is following us."Ai

"Now because you said it I can sense it." Hajime

"Best way of not facing of with this beast we must avoid contact and act like you didn’t notice it."Ai

"Okay easy enough."Hajime

"How far is our destination."Hajime

"I can’t say but it’s about a three to four hours walk."Ai

"So can’t fight it and arrive in time it might get dark before we get there."Hajime thinks

Hajime walked slightly faster than before.The creature in the trees follows silently

They couldn’t sense it’s mana it wasn’t because of the mana disturbance it was something else

"This thing can hide it’s mana trace."Hajime said this with a worried look on his face

"Can you help me do that."Hajime wondered

"No I can not do such a thing."Ai

"It’s a very unique skill for mostly monsters and really strong people."Ai

"I understand."

"I can’t feel it no more it’s like the presence of the creature just disappeared!"Hajime

"It’s a monster not a creature but you are right it just disappeared."Ai

"So how long until we get there."Hajime

"Three hours or more."Ai

"I see we need to get there before night comes."Hajime

"We don’t know what’s hiding in these parts of the forest."Ai

"I can’t help but hate this so cold Alistair I mean if it was summer we wouldn’t be suffering this much!"Hajime

"I mean this cold temperature is really getting to me I’m practically naked!"Hajime

"Notice you have about 60% of your clothes."Ai

"And I look like a mercenary."Hajime

"But more sinister, I mean a creepy kid who looks like a killer."Ai

"Those white eyes and a small body."Ai

As night approaches while they walk,"How long until we get there?"Hajime

"Notice we are a bit far to the destination."Ai

"Do you think they let me in I look like a bandit!"Hajime 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Yes they will let you in but no one will trust you."Ai

Hajime was worried and uneasy but they continued It started getting dark to the point you can barely see

Hajime saw something ahead like it was a cornfield but as he got closer he realized it was a cornfield

"Wait is that corn!"Hajime jumped out of enthusiasm

Hajime ran to take some corn

"I mean something I just have to burn or boil!"Hajime

While trying to remove some

"Isn’t that stealing."

Hajime felt such a life threatening aura

"Huh?"Hajime

The grimoire opened

"Light swords!"Hajime

Hajime moved as he turns he turned so quickly your average enemy wouldn’t react

But he was too slow he just saw tree leaves still floating,dust still there,he turned his head side to side

"It’s gone?"Hajime

He felt something behind him again and he turned really quick trying to slash but it was gone again

"Again!"Hajime

A dark like figure was behind him and it kicked him with a side kick he went to the cornfields

"AAHHH!"Hajime

As soon as he regained balance he went back at high speeds running

It flew to the sky and started laughing

Hajime jumped going to slash it

"Absolute Zero!"

A domain of dark magic covering the whole area a domain of darkness,the darkness made you feel like you’re looking into a void

He saw purple energy flowing from afar he saw wath it was

"What?;it’s a woman!"Hajime

Then everything black out and she moved so fast it’s like she teleported and smashed Hajime face with a right hook

Hajime went through the cornfields lifeless

"What just happened he was clearly faster than me but he didn’t react this time?; I guess it was all magic."

The energy started disappearing

Hajime was absolutely defeated
