He looked to the side of the living room and saw that there was an opened hidden door. Behind that was a secret passageway that led down. The woman laughed sweetly before she once again pulled Ignius. They went down the flight of stairs that seemed to be unending because of how deep the cavern below the house was.
It took them at least twenty minutes before they finally came to a flat surface that, based on Ignius's view, was enough to house a full-grown dragon like him. The woman clapped her hands and the embedded luminous crystals in the entire place lit up. With the light, the place was indeed a place where a dragon once lived.
Ignius could see some scratch marks on the wall and he could also see gold coins at one corner while there were baskets of precious stones. The entire place was filled with all the shiny and valuable things that a dragon would want. His grin widened when he saw all of it and the urge to take them all was making him giddy.
"What do you think of this place? I personally think that this place suits you." The woman raised her palm and lightly touched the dragon's back.
Ignius stopped walking around and stood for a while as if he was enjoying the woman's touch. He suddenly turned around which caught the woman off guard. She stumbled back but before she could fall on the hard ground, the dragon caught her by the waist. Their lips were only centimeters apart from touching.

The woman became indignant and, in her hands, there appeared a bottle filled with a pink liquid. She pushed herself up and stood up before throwing the bottle on the ground. It broke and a pink smoke quickly filled the room.
Ignius frowned when he inhaled the smoke. He felt a tingle inside his body but not to the point that he should be concerned. He then slowly felt hot and that was when he realized what it was. He laughed out loud at his discovery.
"The dragon who owned this place must be full of lust. So, this was how you killed it. What a weak dragon that he fell into your trap." Ignius commented as he walked towards the woman who was only looking at him with wide eyes.
"How are you still okay? I even mixed my own blood on that potion to make its effect stronger and yet you are fine!? What kind of a dragon are you?" She shouted as she backed away in a panic.
Her potion that helped her kill the dragon wasn't enough to incapacitate her enemy. She was not the type who knew how to fight. She relied on her potions to defeat an enemy and most of the time, she had people who would help her. She was the greatest potion maker and yet she did not know how to fight.
Another bottle appeared in her hand and she hurled it towards the man. Ignius raised his arm to block the bottle and it broke. The contents got on his body and it started to sizzle. The content of the bottle was actually an acid that could easily burn anything that it touched.
Several bottles were thrown his way and they all had the same contents which successfully scalded him. Ignius remained standing until the woman took that chance to run towards the exit. She reached it safely and she looked once more to make sure that the dragon was still there.
She cursed when she saw that the dragon was already facing her direction. Once she stepped on the stairs, she slammed her palms on the wall of the stairs. A wall of stone slowly descended and closed off the room.
The woman did not hesitate to run up the stairs while simultaneously smashing the side walls and letting all the walls fall down to further seal the room. She ran until she finally reached the top of the stairs. She hurriedly closed the thick stone door before she left the house.
She looked at the house and slowly stepped back while focusing her senses on anything, any sound or indication that the dragon was not after her. She sighed and was about to leave the top of the mountain when she heard a chuckle that came above her. She screamed in surprise when a dragon head was looking at her.
"Do you really think that you can run away from me? That trap of yours was not meant to stop a dragon. It was meant to trap a human." Ignius's rumbling voice echoed and shook the ground.
His enormous body landed on the empty space as he avoided the house. He snarled and the wind from his breath was enough to knock the woman down. She was trembling in fear because the dragon in front of her cannot be compared to the one that she killed.
It was a black dragon that occupied the span of that flattened mountain which was enough to house a small town. She started screaming and blaming and saying incoherent words that the dragon could not understand. He thought that she had gone crazy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all the shouting died down, he returned to his human form and approached the woman. He chuckled because she already fainted because of fear. A gate then appeared and he carried the woman and threw her inside a prison cell. He then returned to the house and took all of the treasures for himself.
He added all of it to their dimensional storage before he returned to the manor. He was happy and satisfied with the result of his plundering. Even though it was not an exciting fight, he didn't care because he had gained yet treasures.
"I thought that that woman would even give me a good fight because she consumed dragon blood but I was wrong. That was a bit disappointing." He laughed after taking the seat beside the master.
"It was really entertaining to watch that scuffle. She really did admire you but you were a bit too much for her." Cygnus laughed along with him and both of them were laughing.
Nahar was peacefully drinking his third cup of tea and was enjoying their peace. Whatever the master was planning, he would be there to support him. He took another sip and even let out a sigh.
"What if I am planning on destroying this world?" Cygnus suddenly asked which stopped Ignius from laughing.
"I would gladly assist you. I no longer have any attachments to this place," was Nahar's straightforward answer.
"That's good to hear because this world has just entered its countdown." Cygnus stretched both of hands as he stared at the ceiling. "This place that destroyed me would soon turn into nothingness."
Nobody inside the living room disagreed. It was already given that the master would destroy it just like what he did to the others. The only difference was that he was taking his time and would be getting his revenge. Even with incomplete memories, the feeling of betrayal was renewed within him.
"Well enough of that, let's watch how Nina and Vain are doing." The master returned to his position and was now focused on the one remaining holographic screen in front of him.
It just so happened that the targets given to Nina and Vain were in the same place so it would be a two-on-two fight. Four pairs of eyes now paid attention to them and their fight. Nina was explosive and fiery while Vain was silent but deadly.
