Chapter 325: Pregnant??!!
"Warlock boy!! Drop my mistresses books!!" The young girl barked her eyes brimming with anger. She had advised the mistress not to take in strays, they were good for nothings and broke things but she didn't listen.
Now this grimy warlock was here touching their stuff.
"Calm down little pebble, it's a library that's what happens in a library. People touch books" the lady atop the floating chair reached down and ruffled the hair of the young girl.
This little girl liked to complain about strays forgetting that she herself was once a stray and was granted asylum by her.
"I apologize if I've overstepped my bounds miss…I was just curious" Leon bowed a feeling of dread in his heart. That lady infront of him was brimming with unbridled strength, he didn't know what to make of this situation.
Was he in danger? What was this place and why was he here? It couldn't be hell though, he had died once…though that was a more unique case.
"There's no need to apologize, those books are generally for reading." The lady with silver puffy hair spoke rather calmly her floating chair slowly moving towards Leon.
"I'm more concerned about your health, you were gravely injured you know?" Like an old grandmother scrutinizing her grandson she pulled his underlid down and checked how red it was.
After a few second she circled around him gently and nodded.
"Glad to see you are okay…" she nodded with satisfaction.
This warlock boy, whatever he had fought had completely ravaged his internal body. It was like a monster was playing in his inners when she checked. If not for his extraordinary healing he would be dead right now.
"Thank you….umm may I ask where this is?" After a few uncomfortable moments Leon asked the lady circling around him.
"Where this place is? When this place is and how this place was is….such deep and philosophical questions are too heavy for the morning" instead of answering him though she skillfully dodged the question.
"Well, it's still a problem I guess" lowering her chair and placing it on the ground, she frowned while looking at Leon's belly.
"What's still a problem?" Leon also frowned, he knew how injured he had been after that fight, but he felt okay now, what did she mean by still a problem?
"There's a dragon inside of you" the lady said flatly floating back up and moving towards the door.
Leon was momentarily stunned by these words as he stood there. There was a dragon inside of him? Wasn't that….
In a desperate bid to save his life, he had used an experimental technique made by that demon Altor. It was meant to combine himself and his beast Actualization elevating him into a realm of power where he would be unstoppable.
Unfortunately that power was not only too much for him to handle, it was also extremely dangerous. His inners had been bled out by the ravenous drake dragon, it used him as a form of sustainace like a parasite.
Was that what she meant by a dragon was inside him? Was the Actualization still there?
"Come with me, I want to run more tests" the lady called out seeing that Leon had spaced out behind her.
"Ahh, yes" he nodded quickly and followed behind walking past the fuming your girl on the side.
With her leading the way, Leon found that moving through the confusing tunnels became easier, it was more structured as he saw visible changes in his environment. Before he even knew it the tunnel with wet walls were behind them replaced with elegant pillars abiet a bit old they were still a breath of fresh air.
It was more fitting for a library.
....
"Well, it's a fact. You're pregnant"
After taking him through some turns, they arrived at a small officer where the lady ran tests on him to see what was really going on inside of him.
"Pregnant? What do you mean?" Leon frowned deeply, there was no way that could be the case. Forget the fact that he's a man, he was also a different species from a freaking dragon!!
"Well, not in the literal sense, it's not like you'll give birth to a dragon or anything…" she smiled.
"But it has to come out someway, you said it's a beast Actualization? Why don't you just dismiss it?" She asked looked a bit curious. That was what she thought would happen if he moment he woke up, the thing would just dissipate.
"I've tried, it's not going anywhere" Leon seemed frustrated, he didn't like where this was going one bit.
"Well, there are two possibilities of what could happen next. One is you are able to dissipate the Actualization and go on your merry way, or you let the thing keep growing in your body still your heavy or even burst"
Such a situation would be indeed funny to see, a warlock giving birth to a dragon or the dragon ripping through his chest and emerging.
So many years they had exploited beasts maybe it was time for a change.
"You don't seem shocked about everything" after pressing his temples in frustration Leon looked up at the ladies amused face and asked.
There had not be a single warlock in the central region for years or at least none he heard of. Maybe the dragon god clan, but those guys were reclusive. The point is, seeing one was one thing, but one heavy with a dragon? She seemed more amused than sacred.
"I'm a librarian, I'm use to strange things" the lady smirked packing up a few books and placing them inside a cabinet.
"However, I'd like for you to stick around for a few weeks. I want to monitor your condition, I know a few methods to slow down the rate of consumption from a fetus, don't ask me how i know by the way. That would be rude. But I'm sure I can help you slow down this process still you can find a solution" she turned to Leon and explained.
