Level 1 Strongest Sage ~

Book 8: Chapter 6: Wives on the Go (5/9)

Ryuka, why are you with Hakuryuu-sama?

I have returned, Mother. I also have some business inside the Dragons Shrine, so Hakua-sama sent me home.

Sent you home wait, dont tell me, Ryuka, you rode on Hakua-samas back!?

Bloodlust surged from Cucuruka.

Ryukas body shivered from it.

Most people dont really think the dragons were such a big deal, but for most of the dragonoids, they treat the dragons, who were superior to them, with great respect.

Elderies considered it blasphemous and unforgivable if a dragonoid rode on the back of a dragon, moreso if that dragon was the highest ranking colored dragon.

The supreme dragons in this world were called colored dragons and there were four of them, namely Sekiryuu for the crimson dragon, Hakuryuu for the white, Seiryuu for the blue, and Kokuryuu for the black. 

The next high-ranking dragons would be as follows Karyuu the Fire Dragon, Suiryuu the Water Dragon, Doryuu the Earth Dragon, Fuuryuu the Wind Dragon, Rairyuu the Thunderbolt Dragon, Kouryuu the Light Dragon, and Anryuu the Darkness Dragon. They were called the attribute dragons, so-named for their respective attributes.

There were also attribute dragons who possessed several attributes among them.

For example, there was the Enryuu or Blazing Dragon, who possessed both wind and fire attributes, as well as the Hyouran Dragon, also known as the Blizzard Dragon.

Fundamentally, attribute dragons could never win against the colored dragons no matter how many attributes they possessed.

Dragons who reached the level of attribute dragons and above could understand human speech, and they could also converse with them.

Under those attribute dragons were the common dragons.

Common dragons also had their own hierarchy, and the lowest among them were the wyverns.

Even those wyverns were also powerful, and they could easily kill an A-ranked monster in just a blink of an eye.

The dragons stood at the pinnacle of all the monsters, reigning over them.

Cucuruka, you dont have to be so mad at Ryuka. Ryuka adamantly refused, but I forced her to ride on my back.

If Hakua-sama speaks so, then so be it.

The bloodlust directed at Ryuka suddenly vanished.

Besides, Ryuka can return to being a white dragon, just like me. Thats why she practically has the same rank as me.

The dragons refer to the dragonoids [Dragonize] as [Return to Being Dragons].

I-indeed, but

Also, Ryuka and I are part of the same family. We married the same man. Thats why,Ryukas status is equal to mine.

W-what?

Cucuruka froze on the spot when she heard Hakuas words.

Mother, sorry for the delayed report. I am now officially married to the human named Halt Ernol.

Hp-human!? Ryuka, did you forget what your role is? You are the Dragons Shrine Maiden. Marrying a human is .

Cucuruka, you better watch your mouth from here on. I wont forgive you if you insulted Halt, even if youre Ryukas mother.

Hiii!

Cucuruka might not be on par with Ryuuden Ryuka and Ryuushins father but she was still considered strong among the dragonoids, and she possessed enough power to be chosen as the village chief.

And yet, that Cucuruka couldnt move an inch out of fear.

Hakuas appearance was that of an adorable little girl, but she was staring at her with an icy bloodlust.

Hakua-sama, sorry. Please restrain your bloodlust. The entire village is quaking in fear.

The bloodlust that was directed at Cucuruka didnt only affected her; all the villagers were thoroughly horrified enough for them to imagine that their death was near.

Uwah, sorry. I overdid it a bit.

Hakua calmed down.

At the same time, several dragonoids fainted on the spot.

Mother, I know full well what my duty is as the Dragons Shrine Maiden.

What do you mean by that?

Ryuushin had morphed into his complete dragon form, but Halt still knocked him down. I married that Halt.

Ryuushin had completely dragonized? Thats too early. N-no, rather than that, you said he beat the completely dragonized Ryuushin? There is no way that is true. Thats because that child

Ryuushin had morphed into the Kokuryuu. He was magnificent. However, Halt easily blew him off with just a single punch.

Wha!?

The Kokuryuu possessed most powerful attack ability among all the colored dragons and it was also considered to be the most brutal.

There was no way Cucuruka would believe that her son completed his dragonization into a Kokuryuu but was still easily beaten by someone of the human race.

By the way, I myself cant win against Halt. Thats why youre not allowed to antagonize Halt. You better heed my warning to you.

N-no way Eh, then, Hakua-sama, is it true that you are also married to that Halt person!?

Yup. Ryuka and I married him together!

Hakua hugged Ryukas waist while saying those words.

Hakua and Ryuka finally reached the Dragons Shrine, located at the innermost place of the village.

It was the object of worship for both the dragons and the dragonoids the Shrine dedicated to the Dragon God.

A powerful barrier protected this shrine, and even the dragons couldnt approach this place usually.

As long as the Dragons Shrine Maiden, said to have received the blessing of the Dragon God, was there, they could go right beside the Shrine.

Hakua-sama, youre acquainted with the Dragon God?

Yup. I learned how to fight from Uncle Sekiryuu.

The Dragon God is part of the deities, but his status was low.

The reason for that was because there were only a handful of dragonoids and dragons who had faith in him. Thus, even if he was a deity, it was still possible for his existence to vanish, although this was quite a rare occurrence.

Once the Dragon God vanished, the Creator God would choose another dragon to become the next Dragon God.

Thus, the Dragon God was quite a novel existence among the deities, because it was a deity with a position that could be taken over.

The current Dragon God was no other than the Sekiryuu that was Hakuas acquaintance/

Would Dragon God-sama appear before us?

I wonder? Will he listen to our story?

Ryuka and Hakua came here in order to look for some clues regarding the Bunshin magic.

Dragons and dragonoids were considered long-lived species, but because their memories were excellent, they basically do not leave any written records behind.

Because of that, the two of them didnt look for Bunshin Magic clues in any book. They had to ask the dragons and dragonoids who were well versed in magic directly.

Hakua didnt know the existence of Bunshin Magic. 

In that case, they had to ask somebody else a dragon who lived in this world far longer than her.

However, because there were very few colored dragons, Hakua didnt even know her other comrades lived.

Thats when the thought of going to the Dragon Shrine together with Ryuka crossed her mind.

If it was the Dragon Gods Shrine, it might be possible to talk to her friend Sekiryuu.

Thus, they came here with that thought in mind.

At any rate, Ill try calling Uncle!

Yes, youre right. Lets try our best.

Ryuka removed the magical academys uniform robe.

Her naked body started to glow.

The white dragon scales that had dotted her entire body started to expand until they covered her entire body.

Ryuka looked like she was donned in the traditional apparel of a shrine maiden.

She started to call on the deity with a clear voice.

Dragon God-sama, it is I, Ryuka. I have come in order to inquire of you.

Uncle~! Can you please come out for a bit~

Hakua also faced the entrance of the Shrine and started to call out along with Ryuka.

The voices of the Dragons Shrine Maiden clad in her shrine uniform and the high ranking Hakuryuu resounded, and the Dragon Gods shrine started to glow.

And then

Ryuka, and Hakua, huh. So nostalgic.

A handsome guy with red hair and red eyes appeared.

It was Sekiryuu, the Dragon Deity, and he had morphed into his human appearance.

Dragon God-sama.

Ryuka knelt before the Dragon God.

Uncle, its been a while!

Yeah. Both of you look so well, thats great. Ryuka, how is your school? Did you find a good partn hm?

The Dragon God started conversing with Ryuka and Hakua, when he suddenly noticed something.

Somehowtheres a nostalgic scent coming from you guys.

S-scent?

Do I stink?

Nah, its not an ordinary scent. How should I put it, this is the scent of a soul.

The Dragon God didnt dislike this scent. 

RightThis is quite unimaginable, but the scent of the guy who defeated me long ago is coming from both of you.

T/N: A handsome guy with red hair and red eyes appeared I wanna see!! Better if his hair is long, and he looked quite gentle, thatd be my type! oh so ready to swoon now haha ~ just kidding XD XD I hope Sekiryuu and Halt will have a reunion later ?
