Desmond opened his eyes again and found himself in an empty room he had visited before.
"Fuck! My time is limited, and this test only takes me in circles," Desmond shouted to vent the frustration he had endured all night.
* Swoosh *
A cold wind suddenly entered and made his body react. Desmond raised his head and found the same black dragon standing looking at him in the same place.
"WHAT? YOU WANT TO FIGHT AGAIN ?!" Desmond shouted at the black dragon again. After shouting, Desmond became exhausted; it was seen that the fatigue he had accumulated had affected his consciousness.
But something so shocking happened to the black dragon that it made Desmond widen his eyes.
The dragon was slowly being enveloped in the dark light; besides that, this dark light only enveloped half of the dragon's body, leaving its upper body clearly visible.
"Pfft," Desmond burst out laughing, "Are you trying to imitate a transformer right now?" Desmond's laughter grew louder; the exhaustion and emotions that had previously disappeared made his expression relaxed.
But the dragon's next action caused Desmond's laughter to freeze.
This time, a white light appeared, covering the top of the black dragon's body. When viewed from the outside, the dragon's body is about the size of a ship, while it is covered by two opposing elements.
These elements of darkness and light enveloped the body of the giant black dragon to form a giant egg. This egg is like the yin and yang symbol; its shape is not as curved as the yin and yang symbols; there is only a line seprate each element.
* crack * * crack *
Upon hearing this, Desmond took a hundred steps back. All the scenes that are witnessed now and before seem to have a looping concept in his mind.
Desmond narrowed his eyes and also clenched his two fists. Only in this realm did Desmond have both hands intact.
* boom *
When Desmond thought that the egg's shards would hit him, the fragments stopped in midair, leaving Desmond dumbfounded.
* swoosh * * swoosh *
The egg shards returned to their place and slowly turned into something black and liquid.
* step * * step *
But suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps from the source of the egg shards. Desmond focused his gaze, and the moment he saw the source of the sound, he became speechless.
"Hehehe." The voice sounded gentle but seemed young. Apart from that, this voice was very familiar to him.
Previously, Desmond's attention had focused on the several egg shards that had suddenly stopped in the air and returned to their source while turning into a black sticky liquid, making he did not focus on the creature formed from the egg.
...
Desmond approached the creature and ...
* slap *
He slapped the creature, but the slap seemed to have no effect. The creature suddenly had scales on its face, "Hehehe."
Hearing this laughter made Desmond even more annoyed. He wanted to slap the creature in front of him again but felt something in his hand.
Desmond then glanced at his hand and saw that several wounds had formed due to him slapping the scales; besides that, his hands were red and twitching continuously.
"What are you actually ?!" The being in front of him was himself; besides, the creature seemed to be taking the dark part of himself.
He was already very upset about a dragon that could become a transformer, a dragon that could imitate Godzilla, and now right in front of him, was a dragon that could transform into him!
If it weren't for his magic being held back and unable to use it, Desmond would have directly attacked the creature in front of him without further ado!
"Hehe, I am you, and you are me." Right after Desmond II said that, the sticky black liquid initially lying on the floor carelessly suddenly headed towards Desmond II's body.
"Stop ... STOP ..." Unconsciously, Desmond grabbed Desmond II's body. This made Desmond II stare at his main body curiously; he also stopped the sticky liquids' movement.
I unconsciously stopped his action; I imagine how something would enter my body again make me want to vomit! This is his first thought but then he realized that body not his real body,he immediately stopped his action and relase the grips.
"I guess you must think this is your body, right?" Desmond II replied scornfully as he smiles.
Desmond, who heard this felt embarrassed; luckily, his face couldn't turn red. "Impossible; I just want to check whether it's the real body or not," Desmond argued; phew, luckily, I was able to control my expression.
"Heh," Desmond II did not continue speaking; he made the fluids move back towards his body, "If you have reached this stage, you will be happy to accept me."
Desmond looked into Desmond II's eyes; in those eyes, there was endless anger. Apart from his smile that carried a bad impression, Desmond II emitted an aura that was also very evil and cold.
"Maybe not, maybe yes," Desmond answered without giving a definite explanation; even though he wanted strength, he would not act evil without any apparent reason.
I just want to survive in this strange world...
All of Desmond's actions had apparent reasons, the same as when he used the elf. Just for rituals, it's different from demons where personal feelings are involved.
As for the humans he killed, it was only an act of caution if information about his power was leaked. This is evident when the royal investigation team has not yet found that he has been involved seen in the massacre.
"All creatures have principles; even a lion has a reason to kill a deer; they killed to live the next day. " Desmond stared at the ceiling of this realm of consciousness.
This situation seemed awkward, as there were neither clouds nor anything Desmond stared at. Meanwhile, Desmond II smiled at Desmond's answer, "I know, therefore, stay on your principles ..."
Desmond was touched when he heard his own words; he then turned around and saw that Desmond II now had horns and a tail attached to his body.
"This ... am I going to be like this?" Desmond sharpened his eyesight and found that the tail had indeed become one with his body, while the horn was not like a toy horn.
Desmond II didn't answer; he stretched out his hand to Desmond and closed his eyes.
Desmond blinked; he shook Desmond II's hand and felt something run through his body. "Energy?" The warm feeling he felt now was the same as that of meditating.
"No ... this is different." Desmond frowned; at first, this feeling was warm but suddenly turned hot before finally mixing to become hot.
Desmond was carried away with this feeling, although not as comfortable as when he was meditating; he closed his eyes and was carried away.
...
After a few minutes, Desmond felt that the energy he had received stopped. he opened his eyes and found that he had returned to reality.
"I see, " Desmond daydreamed for a while before saying, "Goodbye, and I hope we never meet again ..." even though the interaction between himself and his other self was very short, but he could already understand the meaning of that words.
At the same time, a system notification sound rang, and a transparent screen appeared in front of him, "Ah ... it's finally over ..." Desmond narrowed his eyes.
[ System: Congratulations to the host on passing the Engraved stage of Dragon Slayer. To get to the Dragonized stage, dragon blood and gifted potions are needed.]

Desmond looked at his status and found that his strength had returned. "My strength ..." He glanced at his right hand and found that his right arm had returned intact, without parts were damaged nor destroyed
"NICE !!!" Desmond shouted with joy, "Finally, my hand is back." He tried moving his right hand again as usual and found that the movement became a little stiff, "Maybe this is a side effect of losing a long time."
Desmond can only move his shoulders and fingers; for specific movements such as bend his hand or holding something, it still can't.
"At least, my hand is back." Desmond refocused his attention on the screen in front of him. " Dragon essence? " Desmond muttered.
The system notification sound sounds again, and an additional screen appears beside the status screen.
[Dragon Essence is the energy obtained from killing a dragon's direct or indirect descendant. This energy is very useful for dragon slayers to increase their stats permanently without being affected by the effects of traits or abnormal conditions.]
Desmond's eyes lit up when he saw this explanation.
Does that mean a trait that has a detrimental effect on another trait won't affect me? And also that mean that even potions that can weaken people's strength are included? Thought Desmond. The more he thought, the luckier he felt.
The word it seems real; high-risk, high reward. He had been tortured for a whole night without concern and now was getting a beneficial gift for the future.
