Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Cosmic energy (Rewrited)
Arthur had arrived at the base on the moon in a matter of seconds.
Even though it only took a few seconds to reach the base on the moon.
However, Arthur's perception was too good and he felt that a few seconds were like he was inside the quantum world for a whole minute.
He felt very nauseous and wanted to puke.
Fortunately, he had high tolerance and could hold it in.
This was the first time he felt something like this.
"I–I hate teleportation…"
Arthur said with passion.
He didn't want to experience this kind of feeling ever again.
Great Red heard that and laughed his ass off.
He remembered when he was just a baby dragon. He faced the same feeling as him.
No baby or adolescent dragon would want to experience going through teleportation again once they had experienced it once.
However, the old ass dragons always wanted to prank their young ones and it was traditional at that point to make them get used to teleportation.
Baby dragons and adolescent dragons must get used to teleportation before they become adult dragons.
As for Ophis, he didn't say anything but judging by how silent he was.
He must have had the same experience as Great Red.
「Dragons are very sensitive to magic. You have to get used to it soon. Otherwise, we can't teach you magic related to space and time.」
Ophis said.
「That's right, you will get even more nauseous when you try to use magic related to space and time. You should get used to it as fast as possible.」
Great Red added.
Arthur sighed and nodded his head.
He knew that magic related to space and time was a must have.
It could help him during the time of need like escaping from potential death events.
"I will try my best then."
After he finished talking with Great Red and Ophis.
He looked around himself and found that he was inside an empty room and not the teleportation chamber.
This was to prevent mishap from teleportation.
「Welcome to the Avengers base of the moon!」
Jarvis welcomed him excitedly..
The base was fully operated by him alone.
Arthur nodded his head and said thank you to Jarvis.
He wanted to get out to the moon right away but Jarvis wanted to introduce him to the base first.
「Please let me show you around the base once! (0o0)/」
Arthur heard and saw that couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, show me around then."
No Avengers could be found inside the base right now because they were busy with their own task.
Except for Thor who was currently outside the Earth maybe every Avengers member had gone inside the base.
After the tour. Arthur was impressed by how advanced the base was.
It was expected of Tony to have this base so luxurious and advanced at the same time.
Now it was finally the time for him to get out from the base to the moon.
"I want to get out of the base. Can you tell me how?"
Javis got direct permission from Tony that he could let Arthur go outside of the base but if he saw anything wrong. He must interfere and help him right away.
「Young sir can go outside the base by being ejected out from the port.」
Jarvis taught him how to go outside of the base manually.
And Arthur did as he was told. He was ejected out of the base and into the moon's surface.
"Wow, I can really breathe outside the earth's atmosphere!"
Arthur knew that he could survive without air but it was still a new experience when he was on the moon where gravity was much lower than the earth and there was no air at all.
It felt weird but he could get used to it.
He brought out the mysterious egg and held it tightly.
He was connected to the egg and could feel that the egg was greedily absorbing his dragon mana and an unknown energy.
The unknown energy must be cosmic energy that Great Red and Ophis spoke of.
And it wasn't just the egg that absorbed the cosmic energy.
Arthur himself also absorbed it through the connection he had with the egg.
"I feel good… Is this okay to feel this good?"
Arthur checked his parameters and found that he became stronger again.
[Parameter]
「Name: Arthur Leywin Stark
「Alias: Adolescent Cosmic Dragon
「Level: 4」
「Pow C-628」
「End C-678」
「Dex C-663」
「AGI C-626」
「MAG C-696」

「K?ng?」
「???」
[Power]
「Dragonic Shot」
「Dragonic Canon」
「Dragonic Heal」
「Dragonic Cure」
「Dragonic Hand」
「Super Focus」
Arthur found that he had cosmic energy run through his veins and it became balanced with dragon mana.
Cosmic energy was much more stronger and potent than dragon mana but he could not use it because it would burn him to death.
If he wanted to use cosmic energy he had to dilute it with dragon mana.
And it was a thousand times harder to control than dragon mana.
If possible he should not touch this power at all.
The mysterious egg absorbed the cosmic energy to the point it bulged up and then exploded.
Arthur was shocked as he was sent flying outside the moon.
Fortunately like Great Red and Ophis had said. He won't die just because of this.
He flew down to the place where the egg should be.
But it was gone completely, replaced by a cute looking baby dragon instead.
The baby dragon when it saw him showed a very happy movement.
Arthur couldn't believe it.
"Are you kidding me? Isn't that blue-eyed white dragon from Yugi-oh?"
Arthur couldn't believe it.
He got a blue-eyed white dragon as his familiar. How could a famous dragon from a card game be here?
But when he thought about Great Red and Ophis and what he had been through.
He shouldn't be surprised about it anymore.
He might encounter more anime from now on. So he should mentally prepare for whatever to come.
He looked at the happy blue-eyed white dragon.
He could feel the connection between them so he could tell that she was very happy.
That's right he could also tell her gender. And it was female.
"Please give me a name papa!"
She didn't speak in words but in emotion. She wanted him to name her.
"Sylvie… from now on your name is Sylvie!"
This name came into his mind instantly when he thought of her name.
Sylvie gave out a cute sound as she liked this name very much.
Seeing how happy she was. Arthur felt relieved.
He wasn't good at naming sense but if she liked it then he was happy to give it to her.
Their bond was even stronger than before.
Arthur looked outside the moon and saw that the moon rotated quite far away from original coordinates using earth as pinpoint.
"We should go back inside the base but she is too big…"
She was about five meters tall even though she was just a baby dragon.
She was cute though.
「I will teach her transformation magic. You and her connect to each other through soul. We are connected to you and that extends to her for a certain extent.」
Ophis taught Sylvie transformation magic and she learnt it instantly.
Unlike Arthur who had become a dragon later.
Slyvie was born as the dragon so Ophis could imprint the memory directly to her.
Sylvie made herself smaller and became very cute.
(Slyvie's small form is from the beginning after the end, her true form would be blue-eyed white dragon.)
"Now we can go inside the base. Even though we can survive in space doesn't mean it is safe for us."
Sylvie nodded and floated toward Arthur and she grabbed his shoulder tightly.
Arthur saw that she was secured then went back inside the base with her.
After they had gone inside the base. Arthur then checked her status.
[Parameter]
「Name: Sylvie
「Alias: Baby Cosmic Dragon
「Level: 4」
「Pow C-628」
「End C-678」
「Dex C-663」
「AGI C-626」
「MAG C-696」
She was hella powerful for a baby dragon. She had the same parameters as him.
Arthur couldn't help but feel happy. This meant that she could protect herself if she was in danger.
"Papa, Sylvie is hungry"
Arthur could feel that she was very hungry and he was like her dad.
He had a duty to feed her.
"Jarvis, Do we have anything to eat inside the base?"
「We have a high end cafeteria, I will prepare everything for you sir.」
"Prepare for Sylvie as well. She must be very hungry."
「Based on the data analysis. I have to prepare about one hundred portions for her. Please wait for an hour. (^o^)/」
Arthur nodded and let Jarvis prepare lunch for him and Sylvie.
Fortunately, he had become the adopted son of the richest man in the world.
One hundred portions of a meal for Sylvie could be satisfied.
'If I had not chosen Tony. It might be very hard to raise Sylvie by myself.'
Arthur was poor and broke before Tony took him in. And he knew how hard it was to earn money without connection and power.
After they had lunch on the moon together, they left for the earth.
The two faced the same feeling together when teleported to earth.
"Sylvie…hate it!"
"Me too, Sylvie, Me too."
Both of them bond through something they hate.
It was a magnificent sign of true companionship.
Arthur brought Sylvie home after that and found Emilia and Rem were waiting for him.
When they saw Sylvie they couldn't help but be mesmerized by how cute she was.
「She will be the one who will bring you many mates to you, Art.」
Great Red said wisely. Who wouldn't like the cute baby dragon?
Arthur didn't listen to him and greeted both of them with a smile.
He thought that it might be the time to bring them back to their world. And he would try to go on the second floor.
He would go to the second floor but it didn't mean that he wouldn't do anything about the first floor.
He had to wait for the plot to carry on first.
As for Subaru, the original protagonist of this world.
He would live happily in this timeline. And if possible he would send him back to Japan if he wanted to.
Arthur brought Emilia and Rem toward the portal on the first floor.
He would bring them back to the dungeon and then proceed to the second floor himself.
He checked his points and found that it was enough.
He also had to pay for the entrance this time.
He was exempt from paying the dungeon point for the first entry.
Now he needed half of the amount he need to pay when he wanted to exit.
That also included the native he brought back to his world as well.
'It's pretty steep for those who only got side missions from the system. Not many people could afford going in and out easily like me and the others who have super power.'
Super power gave them a better start than ordinary dungeon climbers who only have stats as advantage.
They would definitely be distinguished from other dungeon climbers later on when people started to notice, and that would create a hierarchy ladder.
It had both advantages and disadvantages.
To deal with those problems, only the people in power could do so.
He could see many people had gathered here in order to try their luck inside the dungeon.
Tony, even though he said that he would not be responsible for those who wanted to climb the dungeon.
He still gave them tricks and how to prepare themselves for the first floor dungeon.
Tony noticed them and he walked toward them with his usual style.
"Hey, Arthur, my dear son. Are you going to send them home this early? Why don't you let them stay and enjoy our world more?"
Arthur had told him that he would bring them home in three days.
Tony thought that he might change his mind and let them stay longer.
Arthur shook his head and answered him.
"Emilia has a lot of things to do so she could not stay here longer than this."
Arthur looked at Emilia.
She didn't want to go back this quick either but she really had so many things to do with the knowledge she just got.
He then remembered something.
"By the way, can I ask you how advanced the base inside the dungeon is compared to the base on the moon?"
Tony gave that base to him but he would still go there when he had time to improve it.
"I can say that it is better compared to the base on the moon because I add more advanced technology that I planned to add to the base on the moon in the future but why do you ask?"
"I want Emilia and Rem to have access to it."
If they could access the base through teleportation.
They would be much safer than anyone in the world.
"It's yours, you can do whatever you want with it. I believe that you won't abuse it."
Tony really trusted Arthur's character. He won't do anything bad.
"You can even make it your home base to correct more beautiful girls from the second floor dungeon or even higher!"
"Is that your dream Tony? I think Pepper might want to hear it clearly."
"Nope, that is not my dream at all. It will be yours in the future though. Live the best of your life before settle down."
Tony laughed happily and then he said.
"Well, I also have something to do. Be safe Arthur and you two. Wait a minute. What kind of cat is that?"
Sylvie was offended that Tony called her cat but Arthur patted her head making her melt down and forgot about Tony's offensive word.
"She is my companion and her name is Sylvie. She is a baby dragon not a cat though."
"Dragon?"
Tony wanted to say that he was joking but Sylvie suddenly change her form into the blue-eyed white dragon.
Tony looked at her majestic and cute form. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Holy Moly, the little cat turned into a dragon."
Tony looked around. He wanted to see if anyone saw Arthur's dragon, but no one saw it except him and the people with Arthur.
"She can use invisibility magic. Don't worry. She's smart enough to know how to hide her true form."
Tony nodded before speaking with confidence.
"You are a dragon too."
Tony had seen him use his powers but had been half-convinced that he was a dragon, but now he was 100 percent certain that Arthur was a dragon, and it wasn't because of his mutant genes.
"Yes, and I have decided to tell everyone close to me about me being a dragon."
Arthur said while petting Sylvie.
"I think everyone will find out about it sooner or later. And I don't think you guys would mind. Who would mind having a dragon as their adopted son?"
Tony nodded and he found it super cool to have a dragon as an adoptive son.
"I will go first. See you later in a few weeks. Please tell Pepper that I love her."
"Did you just plant your own red flag?"
Tony shook his head and he would tell Pepper about him being a dragon after this.
Hopefully him being a dragon would ease her mind a little when she heard that he jumped through the portal again.
…
Inside the first floor of the dungeon.
Arthur escorted Emilia to Roswaal's mansion.
He felt uneasy like something bad was happening right now.
They thought they would be greeted by Ram.
However, something wrong happened.
"Nee-sama. She is becoming weaker and weaker and is about to die!"
Rem could feel her presence weakened. Like a candle light that could go out at any moment.
She was her younger twin and could feel that she was dying from mana exhaustion!
Something must have happened to Roswaal!
