My Dragon System Chapter 99 – Mystrey Hero

Slyvia couldn’t help but think that the name Nes, sounded made up but who knew in today’s day and age. Also, adventurers would often give themselves nicknames to sound more menacing.

“I know Nes. You said you were here to watch the tournament right? Well why don’t we both go together?” Slyvia offered as she smiled.

“Sure, why not,” Ray replied.

Ray was heading there now anyway. All he needed to do was find a time to split apart from Slyvia and came back later.

Slyvia and Ray walked down the street to the arena together and while the two of them did, they talked about many things. Slyvia asked what it was like being an adventurer. Although Ray had no clue, he easily made up stories of lands that he had seen when he was a dragon. The description he gave of places were realistic because he had actually seen them before.

Suddenly, in front of the two of them, a commotion was happening. Many knights were running over to a certain direction and screams and shouts could be heard.

Slyvia looked concerned and said,

“Something must have happened; we still have time let’s go check it out.”

Slyvia and Ray quickly dashed over to the direction the knights were heading in. As they continued to follow the knights, the noise from the crowd grew louder.

When they arrived finally, a crowd of people and knights had gathered around a building which had caught on fire.

Slyvia went to ask one of the people from the crowd what had happened.

“What’s going on here?”

“It’s the inn. Apparently there was a shipment of crystals one of the merchants was carrying in a carriage nearby. All of a sudden, the carriage exploded and the inn caught on fire.”

Slyvia and Ray rushed in through the crowd of people to get closer to the building. There were many knights covered in smoke and black charcoal who were either tending to or carrying the injured.

Just then, a knight went up to the squad leader to report the situation.

“Sir, we’ve done the best we can for now. The crystals are acting like some sort of fuel, it’s caused the fire to get out of hand. It’s too strong for our men to enter.”

“Are there any more people inside?”

“A lady sir. She keeps saying she can’t find her two children.”

“Get a master knight here straight away. Ask around if there any mages that can perform ice or water magic, heck even a fire mage would do!”

Slyvia and Ray had overheard the conversation between the knights.

“I have to do something,” Slyvia said as she bit her lip.

“You can’t. If you go in like that your skin will burn off.”

“But if I don’t, they’ll die.” Slyvia felt helpless. If only she could perform magic like her family members, she could do something right now.

Ray scanned the building with his dragon eyes. He could see the children were in the top right corner of a room. The fire was slowly creeping up, it was clear that if something wasn’t done soon the children would die.

The situation brought up bad memories for Ray. When he was just a child someone had set his house on fire and tried to murder him and his parents. If it wasn’t for his mother at the time, then they wouldn’t have been able to control the fire.

Ray started walking towards the building.

“What are you doing, you said yourself you’ll die in there.”

“Don’t worry, I know a little bit of ice magic,” Ray said as he dashed in past the crowd of people.

Slyvia was confused. To her, Nes looked like your standard swordsman. Even the gear he was wearing said he was. Mages often wore normal clothes that increased their magical strength. Slyvia couldn’t help but think that Nes was just putting on a brave act.

The knights saw Ray try to approach the burning building and tried to stop him but Ray easily avoided them and quickly entered the house.

Although Ray didn’t have any magical spells, he did have his ice attribute. Right now, he was spreading his Ki around his body causing it to keep his body nice and cool. Ray had to act fast though…with the transformation and use of Ki his mana would go down faster.

With Ray’s dragon eyes he was able to locate the room the children were in fast. If it was anyone else, they would have had to search each and every room, but Ray knew exactly the right place to go.

He finally found two kids who looked to be around the age of five and their energy was weak. Ray quickly grabbed the two kids and jumped out of a window nearby.

Ray landed just outside the building with the two children in his hands. Steam was emitting from Ray’s body as the fire and Ice were constantly battling each other. A knight quickly came and took the two children out of Ray’s hand.

The crowd of people cheered as they saw the brave handsome warrior save the two children. Slyvia was smiling brighter than ever.

Just when Slyvia was about to approach Nes and see if he was okay, suddenly Nes ran away and disappeared from the crowd.

The crowd couldn’t help but talk about the mysterious stranger.

“He ran away.”

“I guess he must have just been shy.”

“Can you believe what he just did?”

Slyvia just stood there thinking, “Who was that guy?”

Originally, she thought he might have been a member of Pureblood or the dark guild, but she found it hard to believe someone who would risk their life like that would join such evil organisations.

Ray had currently run to the top of one of the buildings out of sight.

His mana had been completely depleted and his form had changed back to normal.

“That was a close one.”

As Ray started to meditate, a notification sound was heard.

As Ray read the notification and closed it, another one popped up.

Through this random chance of events, Ray happened to learn two new skills but that wasn’t what Ray was really excited about. Finally, Ray thought he had found the answer to unlocking his dragon skills back.
