29 Chapter 29

~Omni pov~

3 years later...

Cid can be seen walking down the corridor of the Kagenou household while reading a book about ancient languages and magic circles.

A door suddenly shot open as a hand grabbed his shirt and pulled him inside making him drop his book.

Cid was then pulled inside a room which was quickly followed by the door closing and the sound of the door being locked.

Cid was then pushed against the door and pulled in for a kiss.

Claire then put a hand over the back of Cid's hair and pulled him in closer getting more and more passionate with each second.

*Chu* *Mwauuuuh* *Kiiiisssssss*

After a few minutes Claire had to distance herself to be able to breathe.

*huff* *huff* *huff*

Cid with his hands wrapped around Claire's waist said "Well someone's clearly excited today"

Claire who had her arms around his neck was still breathing heavily "Since I'm 15 now that means I have to go to school, which also mean I would have less time to see you, so I thought why not enjoy it"

Cid just looks at Claire with a raised brow "Enjoy it? It looks to me that you're more than enjoying it, you were trying to eat my face with that attack"

Rolling her eyes Claire just scoffed "Oh please like you didn't enjoy it, if you didn't you wouldn't have kissed me back"

Faintly chuckling Cid then pulls Claire closer "Your right, I did enjoy it, why don't we continued where we left off"

Claire only gave him a sensual look before pulling him back into a long kiss.

When they finally disconnected Claire left out a satisfied sigh before leaving the room skipping along and swinging her arms in a happy manner.

When Cid made sure Claire was gone, his shadow started moving and handed him the book he was reading.

Cid while still leaning against the door just went back to reading and while reading he just started talking.

"So did you find it's location, Alpha"

Alpha undoing her stealth skill just sighed and looked at the door from which Claire exited with a bit of jealousy "As expected of Master, even after trying to remain undetected you still managed to find me.

As for if we were successful at discovering it, I am happy to announce that it was a success although we were only able to look at it from afar, we were still able to encounter it, only if it's briefly"

While still looking at the book Cid nodded "Good job, Get everyone ready, it's time for you guys to watch as I officially gain the title as a dragon slayer and we get an official base of operation."

Hearing that she gets to watch her master fight a legendary beast she got quite excited 'Maybe we would be able to watch master fight at full strength'.

She gave Cid a final bow as she began to sink into her very own shadow. Over the years one of the many things Alpha along with the others focused on was their use of shadows, their thinking was 'If I could perfect my uses of shadows I could be one step closer towards master and maybe he'll notice me'

Which motivated them to work harder and grow stronger faster. Surprisingly the one that showed the most results was actually Gamma. Although it didn't start out great, like when she first tried out the flying broom, the first time she got on she started rolling in place and didn't know how to stop.

And when Cid helped her, her head was just bopping all over the place until she just threw up where she stood...it was a sorry sight to see.

Luckily she got better and her hard work paid off, although now she doesn't take the hat Cid gave her off and keeps it with her at all time.

So thanks to their dedication all 7 girls were able to learn a few new spells with their shadows, like the ability to travel through them, which was what Alpha was showcasing.

When Alpha reappeared again she was infront of the other 6 that were sitting down in a meeting room waiting for her. Alpha then sat down at the end of the table where the second largest seat was located, leaving the main and largest seat in the front empty as that was for their lord and master.

(Pic of the table)

Alpha was then the one to initiate the conversation "Alright then, our meeting has now officially commence, for are first matter of topic, It looks like this place is getting to small to hold the current members of Shadow Garden and due to our many members we are becoming more conspicuous towards the cult."

Gamma then added "Your right this place is too small I can't even start our farming projects I am excited to try, master has giving us so many ideas and knowledge that it be a shame to not try it out. With all these ideas just imagine the money we would make"

Beta looking at the current data she has gathered then added "If Gamma can get started on her projects we would be able to solve our current money problems, we have due to currently having to many members"

Delta who had her head lying on the table just asked "Why don't we just ask the boss man for more money, I'm sure he wouldn't mind giving us some"

Zeta just rolled her eyes "You stupid mutt of course he wouldn't mind, our lord is generous like that, but we shouldn't be taking advantage of his kindness.

If we always asked him to always solve our problems then our existence would be meaningless"

Delta just turned her head towards Zeta's direction and started growling

*Grrrrr*

"Stop it both of you, we are still in a meeting you can continue your fighting afterwards" Alpha demanded.

Delta and Zeta just "Hmph" at each other and turned their head at the opposite direction from each other which cause the other members to just shake their heads at their usual antics.

Alpha just continued "We don't have to worry about where we are going to relocate, thanks to master giving us the chance to locate a dragon near the Sacred land Lindwurm, we were able to find to a suitable place to build our headquarters.

Thanks to Zeta's investigation we were able to find both the Ancient City of Alexandria and the The Mist Dragon that resides over it"

Zeta then jumps in "It wasn't easy to find either, especially because of that mist surrounding the area, it's magical properties distorts people's senses and it's extremely poisonous, luckily I was the one to go and explore the area, if it wasn't atleast one of us that person would most likely be dead.

The mist that surrounds it also has the ability to create normal level illusions."

"That's the perfect place for our base, it's Isolated, it's protected by a strong and potent mist, and it even has a guardian protecting it" added Epsilon getting excited about moving.

Alpha then stood up from where she was sitting "Well we have to end this meeting on a short note, master wants us to go with him when he fights the dragon. He demands our presence"

However before they left Alpha called Lambda, a dark elf they saved. Once she appeared Alpha then said "We are going on a mission, since master is coming it should be a short one, so we are leaving you in charge"

(Pic)

Lambda then gives Alpha a military salute expressing her acceptance towards her new orders

Alpha seeing her salute her then nods dismissing her. And once she left they all stood up.

Already wearing their slime suit they all stood up from the table and started to sink into their shadow.

And when they appeared, they found their master Shadow sitting close to the mist on a rock waiting for them with a book on his hands.

When the girls first saw him they looked at him in admiration 'As expected of Master even when he knows everything he still takes time to read and study, he's so studious and he looks so perfect while doing it too.'

seeing that they all arrived Shadow just throws the book back into his shadow. "Well it's about time you guys show up. Epsilon since you're the one with the most magical control you're the one in front along side Delta, with her senses it should be easy for you guys to navigate the Abyss Woods"

With the two of them infront, everyone soon follows their lead while shadow is just in the back quite excited about fighting a dragon.

'I could finally try on my finishing moves I've been making, on an actual opponent. I'm definitely going to enjoy this one quite a bit"

Although slowly the girls managed to maneuver their way through the thick mist thanks to their combined efforts.

With one final step they all arrived a few meters before the abandoned ancient city, but before they could take another step forward a angered voice was soon heard.

"WHO DARES INTRUDE IN THIS NOBLES ONE ABODE"

*WOOOOSSSHHHH*

The sound of wind was then overheard as a colossal dragon made it's way over them and with a large thump landed right in front of them.

(Pic of Dragon)

The dragon then released a bit of his 'Dragon Fear' to intimidate them "You people sure are foolish if you think you can just enter this one's territory without any consequences"

Shadow then releases his own 'Dragon Fear' shocking the dragon greatly "You're the fool if you think you have the necessary strength to be able to give out any consequences towards this Monarch"

When the girls saw their master willing face the dragon head on protecting them, their already high admiration reach even higher 'Master... he's not even fazed by the dragons might'

Beta just takes out a notebook from somewhere that says "The Shadow Monarch's Legacy", Beta then opens the book and start to quickly move her pen which she also pulled from who knows where and write down while whispering rapidly

"Without even an ounce of hesitation the Shadow Monarch, The Ruler of Life and Death, stood face to face, with the Dragon of Dread and Dreams showcasing their mights to one another"

Meanwhile Cid and Dragon stood face to face. "HOW?! HOW COULD A HUMAN POSSESS THE ABILITIES OF A DRAGON"

Cid just casually shrugs "I am just built different.

Before we even get to fight each other, how about you get a warm up with my girls. Who knows how many years you spent without fighting, you're probably still rusty and need to fight it off. I want to fight you when you're at your best"

The girls listening to their conversation squeal slightly in their minds 'He call me his girl'

The dragon then scoffs at the humans proposal "You sure are arrogant for a human, but I believe that arrogance is justified if your aura i felt earlier is any indicator"

Cid then lefts out a burst of his Conqueror's Haki "It's not arrogance, it's Pride and Confidence in my abilities that I honed through out my life. Plus I want to see how far my pupils have come and how strong they have gotten"

The dragon then narrows his eyes and thinks for a few seconds "Very well human, I shall entertain your idea but don't think for a second I won't he going for the kill, in return I want you to promise me something"

Shadow then nodded his head "If it's something that's not to difficult to accomplish then very well"

"If those girls don't manage to kill me, I want you to do it"

Before anyone can ask anything, the dragon then stated "Due to the magical nature that covers the world, plus the one that is impregnated in the body of the Dragons at the genetic level, the dragon species are practically immortal, so they don't need to eat, or drink anything.

Nor can they die from hunger, old age, dryness, disease, poison, among other natural things, although if they like, they can eat or drink things if they want

so even if the magic power of their bodies is exhausted, or if they suffer heavy damage, be it to their head, chest, heart or others, said normal wounds will return to normal as if nothing happened.

The only way to kill a Dragon is to completely annihilate their entire being"

"I see... very well I shall complete your wish on the condition that I can do with your corpse as I see fit"

"Didn't I just say that you need to completely annihilate my body in order to kill me, there won't be a corpse left"

"That's for me to worry about, I can still kill you and keep your corpse intact don't worry. So do we have a deal"

"You are very greedy for a human, you should control your desires or they will become the death of you"

Shadow then looked at the dragon like he was an idiot "So you want me to leave a perfectly good dragon corpse out here to rot, when I could make great use of it, don't be a dumbass

As for controlling my desires, When you're as strong as I am you are free to indulge in them and do as you please, I will do no such thing as put a limit onto myself no matter how small.

No matter how small such limits are, they will only slow me down on my conquest to being a Supreme Being in the omniverse.

And as for Death... Death isn't something that should be feared it's something that should be appreciated and when their time comes they should embrace it"

And with that Shadow started walking away from the dragon. Once he was a good few meters away he controlled his shadows and made a throne out of it.

(Pic)

Once he sat on it, he just put a leg on the arm rest and rested his head on the other arm rest while leaning on his fist. He then looked at the girls and said "Do a good enough job and I shall reward you, any gift that you desire"

Shadow then saw the lust in their eyes and added "But if I deemed it to be inappropriate I shall decline it and ask you to ask for something else"

Which cause the girls to be dishearten slightly but quickly got back their fighting spirit as they would still be rewarded by their master. The girls quickly turned towards the dragon and gave him a battle hungry smile.

Which cause him to release a drop of sweat 'They really got this excited over a gift? What could these girls possibly want."

Shadow then spoke once again to the girls "Oh by the way if you guys even want a chance to even put a scratch on him you would have to work together."

Alpha hearing her master then got into a fighting position which was quickly followed by everyone else.

The dragon then started to flap his wings as well taking to the sky.

And with that the showdown between the Mist Dragon and Shadow Garden was about to begin.

*****************************

A/N:

Should the girls gain special abilities from eating the dragon, growing scales, growing wings, dragon looking eyes, the ability to breath fire.

Or

Should they just get slightly stronger just making their magic more potent and their physique stronger and that's it.

And if I do give the girls dragon eyes,what abilities should it have?
