n“Awaken, my dragon!”

n“What are you even saying?”

n“Rise, my Fallen Dragon!”

n“Stop it already….”

n“I invoke you, Dracolich Chimera!”

n“Cut it out!”

n“What’s wrong with a little intensity? You are a legendary dragon and everything… Can’t a girl get hyped for a bit?” I sighed.

n“Yeah, but that was a bit anticlimactic!” Lucifer shouted.

n“Grao!” Partner roared as she didn’t like how Lucifer treated me.

nI caressed her head in order to calm her down.

n“There, there, calm down, Partner. We have to be more respectful with our elders. This old man lacks a lot of humoristic sense,” I said.

n“D-Don’t call me grumpy!” Lucifer cried.

n“Hehe, it’s funny to see you get angry,”

n“E-Eeeh?”

nLucifer suddenly got embarrassed.

nI decided to check his stats and see what he was made of…

n…

nWell, well, well, would you look at that? He’s strong from the get-go! Although his Skills are all Level 1, his stats are pretty amazing! He’s also at D Rank! Hm… Well, seeing how high his stats are, it makes sense. Although his Agility is very low, he’s slow, which I guess makes sense seeing how big he is. He’s pretty decent… I’ll give you that…

nHis skills are pretty good as well… He’s got a nice mix of defense and offense and some magic coupled with his breath and claws skills. He also seems to have a dragon scales skill, which reinforces them. He also has Shapeshift so he can grow smaller or bigger, allowing him to be able to sneak out of here. Nice.

n“But what is the Morph Skill you got?”

n“Eh? You can see through the Soul Scripts?!”

n“The what?”

nSoul Scripts? What’s that?

n“Soul Scripts are the scripts of our soul, where our abilities are located and where they develop. Every Ability or Skill we possess is part of our Soul Script. The more they develop, the stronger our soul grows, but the bigger the burden it becomes as well…

n“Huh, so that’s what you call it… You can’t see it directly like I do?” I asked.

n“I can inspect my own soul and see through my power, but I am not able to do the same with others… However, It seems that you’re capable of doing that,”

n“Yup, so what’s the deal with Morph?” I asked.

n“It’s the ability that any Dragon is born with. It lets us become… Well, just see.”

nLucifer suddenly activated the Skill, and he exploded into a burst of phantasmal smoke!

nPoof!

nThe phantasmal smoke dissipated and what remained of him was a way smaller figure…

nOf around… probably almost two meters tall.

n“Eh? A human?!”

nLucifer emerged in his human-like form!

n“Indeed. It is more like a demon than a human… All Intelligent Races of Beasts, Dragons, Demons, and Monsters possess the Morph Skill after reaching maturity. With it, we can morph into a humanoid figure that represents us. It is a power that was designed so we could communicate better with lowly races such as Humans,” Lucifer explained.

n“I see… Who are you calling lowly race?!”

n“Well, you’re a ghost now, so it wasn’t for you….”

nLucifer sighed a bit.

nAnyways…

nHis appearance was nothing but handsome.

nLucifer looked like a slim and mildly muscular man, with a tall figure, pale-white skin, sharp eyes that gleamed with dark colors, long silvery-white hair that reached down to his shoulders, and two spiraling black horns growing from his forehead.

nHe had scales on his feet and arms and a few all around his body. He also had wings and a tail, but using Shapeshift, he could hide those features, and even his horns and scales, if he wanted to.

nHe had a stoic and slender face with a pointy nose and sharp chin. He really looked like a handsome man from a dating sim game or something…

nI had to admit it. I couldn’t get my eyes off him…

n“W-What? Why are you looking at me so intensively?” He timidly asked.

n“Fuehehe… Ah! Nothing!” I said while averting my gaze.

nHe was able to generate clothes through Morph, so he wore a white shirt that revealed a bit of his chest, tight black pants, and leather boots with black gloves.

nDo you get it?! He looked extremely charming!

nIf we get him to town, all the girls will be falling for him in no time…

n“Now! My loyal subordinates, let’s get out of here! Wait, is there any last treasure?” I asked.

n“No… there wasn’t any. The dungeon core wasn’t accessible to me either,” Lucifer replied.

n“Meh, what a letdown… Welp, let’s get going,”

nAs we walked upstairs, Lucifer began to talk about… stuff.

n“You know? I might have become your servant, but y-you shouldn’t abuse it! I won’t let you touch me or anything like that!” Lucifer said as if he was a bashful maiden.

n“Eh?! What are you even talking about? Are you calling me a degenerate? I am a pure and virginal maiden!” I said.

n“You were looking at me quite oddly!” Lucifer replied.

n“It was just that… I liked your boots! I don’t even have legs, you know? So I obviously get envious when I see someone with such nice boots,”

n“You’re not good at lying….” Lucifer sighed.

n“But it’s the truth! Right, Partner?”

nPartner was looking at Lucifer with squinting eyes…

nWas she jealous?

n“Hmm…” She muttered.

n“Ugh, what’s wrong now? *Sigh*… Kuro, you’re the only one I have at my side, it seems….” I sighed.

n“Meow!”

nTRUUUUMMM!

nHowever, just as we were walking upstairs, a tremor shook the walls.

nAn enormous magic circle emerged on the floor where Lucifer’s corpse was, and… a gigantic figure began to be summoned from it.

nNo way…
