I put 50 into intelligence and 10 into stamina

[Intelligence has increased 110 -> 160]

[Stamina has increased 160 -> 170]

I took a deep breath in feeling the changes in my body. This system really helped balance out my strength and gave me special perks. I wondered if the other candidates got them too, I wouldn't be able to call myself that special then.

My battle with Blake - the light contestant - was a lucky win. He cloned himself several times and weakened himself. I only won due to that, otherwise I'd be dead already.

The notification for the revival popped up again; hopefully this time I wouldn't fail.

[Do you want to revive The Dragon of Flames, Voadhailis using The Potion of life?]

[Yes/No]

'Yes'.

The bottle in my hands disappeared and the body of the large dormant true dragon started to glow brightly. I covered my eyes with my forearms as the light was becoming unbearably bright.

After a couple seconds the glow disappeared and a large tremor shook the ground accompanied with loud thuds.

I moved my forearms and stepped back at the sight. The mana pressure being given off from the True Dragon was extremely menacing, making me sweat.

I hadn't felt such a difference in power since my encounter with Kayden - The first Sovereign.

"How dare you wake me up from my eternal slumber?!" The dragon roared, raising its claws to strike me down but magical silver chains suddenly appeared out of the ground immobilising it.

"What is this?!" 

[System is protecting you]

Its pressure was still extremely hostile.

'Shackles Release!'

At my short incantation, my full demon transformation occurred. My dark hair slowly started to glow before turning red. A sharp pain poked on my forehead, before two dark horns curled up.

I could feel every fibre in my body tighten like a screw and my full mana pressure and demonic aura oozing out. My senses heightened and I could feel every tremor, every mana particle in the air like I had become one with nature.

The pressure burdening my body was lifted and now our mana pressures were almost at equal.

"You!!! Lucifer! How dare you disturb my eternal sleep?!" The true dragon roared as a large chain formed around its neck pinning it to the ground. It stared at me with hatred, its eyes expressing its deadly killing intent.

It seemed to have a past with the demon: Lucifer. It seemed everyone knew this fellow.

"First of all, I'm not Lucifer. I'm Zeref Amara - the lightning candidate. I've awoken you from your slumber because I'm in need of your help. I want to form a bond with you." I said, introducing myself and cutting straight to the chase.

"Zeref who? The lightning Candidate huh. I'm not meddling again with the monarchs. Don't you know dragons hate the monarchs, kid?" The true Dragon's voice calmed down a little but still looked at me with hatred filled eyes.

"Well, we have some things in common. I plan to become a Sovereign and crush the Monarchy system. I'll help you bring the True Dragon race back to their glory; I promise you with both of us working together, we can accomplish anything." I offered.

"How can you guarantee something like that, when you're not even a monarch yet. You're a mere demon.

"Let's say I help you and accompany you on your journey. What will I get in return?" Voadhailis asked.

"Me. I will offer myself as a vessel for you. If I become weak, you can take over my body. I know that your body now will perish; you've been dead for 100's of years. 

"The revival only brought you back but your body will crumble, which means your consciousness will have to go somewhere ultimately or even that will disappear slowly. Therefore, I'm willing to share this body with you in return for your loyalty and help." I returned.

"Ahahahahahahaha! Never have I met such an idiotic fool like you. Do you really think you can control my will? Do you really think you can bear the weight of a dragon's blood? " The true dragon laughed hysterically, before glaring at me again bearing its sharp blade like teeth at me.

"Yes." I said, with complete confidence. I knew as long as the system was there, he would never be able to take me over.

"Well, I have a couple conditions that you need to meet. Firstly, you have to allow me to take small amounts of mana from you everyday. Since I won't have a solid body anymore, I'll be sharing it with you. 

"I'll make my own separate mana pool." The true dragon spoke, relieving its killing intent and mana pressure. I also relaxed myself and my transformation disappeared.

"Is that even possible?" I queried, taking a seat on a rock.

"You have a lot to learn, kid. Once we bond, you won't just be a demon; you'll inherit my Dragon blood. You will evolve.

"You will become a new species! A powerful being! Never seen before on this planet." Voadhailis explained.

"But I'm a human, demon hybrid already. If I inherit your blood, does that mean I'll be a tribrid?"

"That doesn't matter. My next requirement is that you'll make a blood promise that you'll kill all the other monarchs and get rid of the disgusting monarchy system of the upper realm." He demanded.

"I have a plan and killing the other monarchs is not part of it. I can promise to use all my power to break the monarchy system if I become a Sovereign." I negotiated.

"Fine. Lastly, you will help me revive the True dragon Family."

I thought about the last one for a bit. This guy definitely had ulterior motives, reviving the rest of them could bring more harm than good.

I'll just think about it when that time comes.

"Deal is done. I accept your conditions." I said, getting up.

"Perfect. Now let's begin the bonding process. Touch your fist with mine." He declared, slowly curling his hand into a fist and pointing it at me. 

I stretched my arm out and fist bumped his red scaled fist.

Suddenly, another bright light flashed and a surge of pain spread throughout my body. My bones were being broken one by one and all the cells in my body were refurbishing themselves. Even my DNA was mixing with the Dragon's DNA.

I screamed in pain as I was being driven crazy.

[System is keeping you sane]

The metamorphosis had begun...
