Chapter 5: Birth of a Dragon
'Thinking'
"Talking"
"Albion Talking"
- Occult Research Club -
"Will you be telling Serafall about this?" Rias asked a pensive Sona, who was pacing back and forth inside of the Clubhouse while Tsubaki stood to the side. Akeno placed a cup of tea on Rias's desk before standing back with the tray held to her chest, a frown on her gorgeous face after hearing about the Fallen.
Shaking her head, Sona replied, "And tell her that I may have angered the new White Dragon Emperor? No." The last thing she wanted to do was let her overbearing sister know that she had screwed up and potentially made the Devil Faction a new enemy. If Serafall didn't overreact and try to kill Sora the minute she learns what happened, she'd most likely pull Sona out of Kuoh and back to the Underworld to keep her safe.
"And you said that he was growing stronger at an unnatural rate?" Rias asked. She was more curious about that, and barely hidden in her tone was a pleading desperation.
"Yes, he's not yet at yours and my strength, but he may have already surpassed Tsubaki and now sits at around Akeno's level of power." Sona confirmed. "And the Fallen have grown stronger alongside him. They may already have gained their second set of wings by now."
Rias stared wide-eyed at Sona. It was one thing to grow stronger on your own at an unnatural rate, it was another thing altogether to get those around you stronger at the same rate.
It's well known in their society that Angels and Fallen had notorious difficultly in trying to grow stronger and reach more sets of wings after the fall of the Biblical God. If Sora had found a way around that, maybe he knew how they could get stronger just a quickly?
Sona noticed her look immediately, "I know what you're thinking Rias, but our relationship with Sora is shaky at best. And with his home outside of our territory, there's little we can do without major repercussions."
Rias had always been a leap-before-she-looks type, preferring to go without thinking things through and dealing with the fallout after it was all over. It worked out for her most of the time, but Sona worried that this wouldn't be one of those times.
"I know that, Sona." Rias replied, "But the date of the engagement has been moved out, and I'm running out of time."
Sona sat down in front of Rias's desk with a sigh, "Then you should be focused on unlocking Issei's Sacred Gear, he was an immense gamble, and you need to see if it will pay off first."
While she didn't want to admit it, Rias was concerned that her gamble in taking on Issei as a peerage member was a bust. His magical power was lower than her nephew Millicas had when he was born. And Issei's personality, while easy to control, made for a general lack in motivation to get stronger.
Had she known how different Issei and Sora would turn out, she would have immediately given Sona the chance to recruit Issei and focused her efforts on getting Sora into her peerage.
"We still need to discuss what we're going to do about the other Fallen residing in the abandoned church." Sona added, causing Rias to groan as Akeno chuckled softly at her King's plight.
- Dungeon -
"Focus on the Brute!" I yell out to Raynare and Kalawarner as I use a Holy Sword to cut down another Zombie while nine Holy Swords fly out to kill the ones charging me.
We were once again back in the dungeon, culling the Zombie hordes as we grinded out more levels. With Sona now in negative standing, I was worried that the Devils might decide to try something dramatic to force me into a peerage.
At least there was no need to worry about them trying to get the girls into a peerage. Raynare and Kalawarner had revealed that the reincarnation process didn't work on anyone who wasn't Human, half-Human, or Devil.
Focusing back on the fight, I ducked an acid spray from one of the Spitters before launching a Holy Sword at it.
"It's down!" Raynare calls out cheerfully, causing me to turn and watch as the last of the zombies turn to dust with the defeat of the massive Brute.
Sora Sakai - Level 50 - White Dragon Emperor
Human - Sacred Gear User
Yen: 624,000 | Gacha: 1
…
Raynare [Companion] - Level 44 - Servant of the White Dragon
…
Kalawarner [Companion] - Level 44 - Servant of the White Dragon
Flying over to them with my [Divine Dividing], I pull their sweaty, dirt covered bodies into a hug. "Well done, girls!"
Raynare and Kalawarner beamed at the praise, pressing their seductive shapely bodies into my own as we celebrated the end of another Dungeon.
Even though the Dungeon monsters leveled alongside us, it was far easier to deal with them the second time around. The first time was when the Dungeon was the most dangerous. There are so many unknowns about what we'll face, that I'm worried about starting the next level of Dungeon until after we've leveled up a bit more.
Motioning the girls through the portal, I stop to gather the last of the loot before exiting.
Loot Items:
[Skill Boost +10]
[Gacha Token] (x2)
[500,000¥]
Nice…That [Skill Boost] is new.
- Sakai Estate -
Following the girls into the estate, I tell them to head to the basement and enjoy the onsen as I hear a deep yawn from my Sacred Gear.
"Well done, young drake. You've now become strong enough to unlock the Balance Breaker." Albion praises, amazed at the growth of his latest wielder.
+5 Affection with Albion … Affection: 15 | Obedience: 0
I wonder what would happen if I used some of my Affection and Obedience Crystals on him? …Something to think about, I've been stockpiling as many as I can in the event I meet someone who's too strong to fight, but having a Heavenly Dragon supporting me even further can't hurt.
"Now…summon your armor. Feel but a fragment of my power!"
"Alright…[Balance Breaker]!" I say, hearing Albion's voice repeat my call, "[Divine Dividing: Scale Mail]!"
[Notice!]
Unlocked:
[Divine Dividing] - Balance Breaker
Skill Gained:
[Divine Dividing: Scale Mail] - Lvl. 1 (Novice)
A white dragon armor with blue jewels covers my body, and already I can feel more power than anything I've gained so far. Clenching and unclenching my armored fists, I say in awe, "This is…amazing."
"Indeed, young drake." Albion replied with pride. "What you feel is but a taste of the power that awaits one who reaches the heights of the Heavenly Dragons. You will need to keep growing stronger if you ever wish to reach and surpass this…and I shall help you."
I grin at that, "Thank you, Albion."
The best part? [Blade Blacksmith] got its Balance Breaker as well.
"[Balance Breaker]!"
[Notice!]
Unlocked:
[Blade Blacksmith] - Balance Breaker
Skill Gained:
[Blade Blacksmith: Blade Knight Mass] - Lvl. 1 (Novice)
-Summons 5 Dragon Knights, number increases with the skills level.
Five blades burst from the ground before glowing. As they glow, the blades shift into a group of Dragon Knights in white armor not unlike my own. In each of the Knights' hands is a Holy Sword with a blue jewel in the center of the cross guard.
Looking over the new Balance Breaker, I see that the number of Knights I can summon goes up as I level the skill. Meaning that if I can max it out, I should have my own personal army of Dragon Knights to fight in the dungeons for me.
And that's not even mentioning that I can now summon 20 Holy Swords, after finally reaching Level 50.
"A worthy addition to your power. But do not forget it is by your own strength that you will grow strong." Albion cautioned.
I had to nod at that, if I had the Knights fighting everything, none of my other skills would level up. Speaking of strength…"Is it possible for you to turn me into a Dragon?"
"Hmm?" Albion asks, the thought not having crossed his mind. "Yes…I do believe it is possible. I will need to change your entire body into a Dragon for it to work. The pain will be…unimaginable."
Sighing, I figured it wouldn't be easy. But before I do it, I want to make sure the girls are aware of what's going on.
-#-#-#-#-
Making my way down to the onsen, I ask Raynare and Kalawarner to follow me to the bedroom. I could always command them, but I preferred to save that for when we're fighting…or having sex.
Obediently, they quickly dry off before throwing on some thin bathrobes and dutifully walking barefoot behind me as we walk up the stairs to the main bedroom.
"What is it, Master?" Kalawarner asks, noticing by the atmosphere that I didn't invite them to the bedroom for sex this time.
"I've spoken with Albion, and he's agreed to change me from a Human into a Dragon." I reply, cutting to the chase.
"That's great!" Raynare cheers as Kalawarner smiles brightly.
Dragons were the most power race in the world, and their very presence was said to radiate power. The thought of what I would be like as a dragon has their nipples poking out excitedly through their thin bathrobes.
Trying not to focus on their large breasts, I agree. "Yes, it is." The chance to become a Dragon was too great an opportunity to pass up, after all. "However…in order to do so, I must undergo a very painful transformation process."
The girls look worried at that, but kept quiet until I'm finished. "Should I pass out, I would like you both to watch over me and our home."
Calling it our home makes their eyes water slightly. They had told me that after falling from Heaven, they never had a place to call home. The Grigori was nothing more than a dozen bases and headquarters scattered throughout the Underworld and Earth, and they had been searching for a home ever since.
Wiping their wet eyes, Kalawarner and Raynare nod emphatically, their eyes now determined as they stare into my own. "Of course, Master. We won't let anything happen to you." Raynare exclaims.
"Thank you both." I smile, reaching both hands up to cup their cheeks. "I know that I can count of you two."
Moving away from them and onto the bed, I get comfortable as I lay down. Kalawarner lays down on my left side as Raynare does the same on my right, wanting to be close by should something go wrong.
Taking a deep breath, I call out to Albion. "I'm ready."
"Prepare yourself, little drake." Albion warns, a twinge of concern in his tone. "This will hurt."
A sensation of power comes from inside me, filling every inch of my body as I feel start to feel different. At first, there's only a mild uncomfortable feeling, but nothing seems to hurt until…
Pain.
Endless, all-consuming pain ravages my body.
My every nerve is on fire as my very blood seems to burn from the inside out. It takes everything I have not to scream out in pain, and even then, there's a rumble in my throat that underscores the agony I'm feeling.
Eventually, the pain becomes too much for me and I pass out.
-#-#-#-#-
Groaning, I wake up slowly to feeling of soft fingers running gently through my hair as a pleasant wet warmth surrounds my member.
It takes me moment to realize that the sensation around my member is someone's mouth wrapped around what feels like the most painful erection I've ever had.
Opening my eyes, I notice that Kalawarner laying against my side, her beautiful naked body pressed against mine as she continues to run her hand through my hair. Looking down, I spot Raynare's violet eyes staring up at me with love and lust as she easily deepthroats my entire shaft, slurping on it as she fondles my balls.
Watching her throat bulge as she takes my entire length, the erotic scene quickly brings me to completion. And with a happy sigh, I let go and cum into her willing mouth as she eagerly swallows my cum.
While her girlfriend pleasure's me, Kalawarner leans over to press her naked breasts into my chest as she kisses me deeply, her tongue swirling with mine as I bask in my post-orgasm bliss.
Breaking the kiss, I feel Raynare crawl up my body before kissing me in turn. Thankfully, she had already swallowed all of my cum, so there was no lingering taste, allowing me to draw her tongue into my mouth and suck on it as she moans.
When the need for air becomes too great, I pull back panting as I look at my two servants, watching them smile happily at me. "We're so glad you're okay, Master." Kalawarner says, leaning down to kiss my sweaty forehead.
"I am too. How long was I asleep?" I ask, unsure as to how long it's been.
"Two days." Raynare replied, her chin resting on her hands currently folded on my chest as her violet eyes stared at me lovingly. "We were worried you would be out of it longer."
Raising my right hand to comb through her ebony locks, Raynare sighs happily at the touch while my left hand reaches underneath Kalawarner's voluptuous body to pull her closer against me.
"Were there any problems?" There didn't seem to be any urgency in their tone or actions, so hopefully nothing went wrong.
Kalawarner mutters softly in my ear, "The Devils attacked the abandoned church, killing our former squadmates Mittelt and Dohnaseek."
That means Asia is now part of Rias's peerage, and Issei has finally awoken the Boosted Gear.
"Were you close with them?" I ask gently. I've never been very good at comforting others after they've lost someone, but if there was ever someone I would try to do so for, it's these two.
Kalawarner shakes her head gently, her long blue hair brushing my cheek. "No, it was only ever just Ray and me. The others couldn't care less what happened to us."
Sighing, I kiss her plump lips softly before leaning my head down and doing the same to Raynare. "I'm sorry to hear that. It's their loss for not noticing how wonderful you two are." That gets noticeably happier looks from the two.
Taking the moment of silence, I check to see my new status.
Sora Sakai - Level 50 - White Dragon Emperor
Dragon (Low-Tier) - Sacred Gear User
Yen: 1,124,000 | Gacha: 1
Perk Acquired:
[Dragon Presence] (Perk)
-As a Dragon, you release a presence that attracts women and angers men.
-Affection grows faster with women. Affection decreases faster with men.
Only a Low-Tier, huh?
No matter, the most important thing is the fact that the transformation was a success. The new Perk is a nice touch. I'll have to be careful about pissing off guys like Sirzechs though.
Grinning, I tell the girls, "It looks like it worked girls, I'm now officially a Dragon. Just a Low-Tier though."
They both nod as Raynare speaks up, "We can tell. Your presence is very…noticeable." She purrs before breathing in deeply. "It's so intoxicating."
Heh, looks like the Perks working already.
Her hips begin grinding into me as her wet pussy slides up and down my hardening shaft. Kalawarner begins peppering my neck with kisses as she rubs herself against my leg.
Well, if that's how they feel…
Bringing my left hand down to reach between Kalawarner's legs and finger her, I use my right hand to help Raynare guide my shaft into her depths as she begins riding me cowgirl-style.
Sometimes it's good to be me.
- Timeskip: 1 Hour Later -
After an hour of rigorous sex to quench my girls' lust, I wait for them to leave the bedroom and take a shower before conversing with Albion.
"So it worked?"
"Yes it did," Albion says. "Congratulations, you are now a member of the mighty Dragon race."
Awesome! Now that I'm a Dragon, my Level will no longer be capped at 500 and I can get to the highest level possible...Level 999.
[Notice!]
Due to Rank: [Sacred Gear User], Player's Level is capped at 500.
…what the shit?
You've got to be fuckin joking me, right? But Dragons have a Max of 999!
[Notice!]
Player must remove Rank: [Sacred Gear User] to unlock Dragon Race levels.
That's bullshit. I've got to remove my Sacred Gears if I want to go beyond Level 500?...wonderful…
I'm not doing that until I hit Level 500. Only then will I remove them, and I'll likely give them to the girls to use since they are already capped at Level 500.
Level 500 is a long way off though, and I have more important matters to attend to. Like getting ready for Kokabiel's arrival.
Sigh…back to the Dungeon.
- Timeskip: 2 Weeks Later -
After having reached Level 50, the newest Dungeon level unlocked.

Dragon (High Tier) - Sacred Gear User
Yen: 52,800,000 | Gacha: 3
"Watch out, Master!" Raynare shouts, alerting me to the bolt of lightning streaking towards my back.
It turns out that "Humans" means everything from armored soldiers wielding swords and shields, to mages wielding fire, lightning, and defensive magic.
Mage - Level 99
Abilities - [Fire Magic] [Lightning Magic] [Defensive Magic]
Flying out of the way of the lightning bolt, I send a Holy Sword at the mage who cast it, only for a magic circle to appear and block the blade. Unfortunately for the mage, Raynare uses that distraction to rain down several large Lightspears into his unprotected side.
"Thank you, Ray!" I call out to my now 8-Winged servant, spotting Kalawarner with her own 8 Wings taking out several other mages that stand on a ridge overlooking the battlefield below.
Raynare [Companion] - Level 98 - Servant of the White Dragon
Fallen - 8 Winged
…
Kalawarner [Companion] - Level 98 - Servant of the White Dragon
Fallen - 8 Winged
Turning my focus back on the large group of armored soldiers facing off against my Dragon Knights on an open grassy field, the new dungeon was surprisingly beautiful, with a partly-cloudy blue sky and shining sun. The light reflecting off the armored soldiers my Dragon Knights are battling.
Solder - Level 99
Abilities - [Swordsmanship] [Enhanced Defense]
While they didn't seem to be that threatening when we first entered the dungeon, we forgot that the previous dungeon opponents didn't have a human's level of intelligence.
These soldiers fought like a real army, using tactics and troop formations to counter my [Blade Knight Mass] effectively.
Unfortunately for them, my Dragon Knights count as attacks from myself. Add in the fact that my [Divine Dividing: Scale Mail] now lets me [Divide] as many times as I want and…
[Divide] [Divide] [Divide] [Divide]…!
I chuckle as I watch the enemy soldiers stumble, every one of them having their power halved. The opening is all my Dragon Knights need to break through their ranks and slaughter them. Glancing up, I spot Kalawarner and Raynare hovering overhead as they take on the mages from a distance, the sounds of explosions going off above me as I wait for my Knights to clear a path.
[Divine Dividing: Scale Mail] - Lvl. 42 (Apprentice)
…
[Blade Blacksmith: Blade Knight Mass] - Lvl. 37 (Apprentice)
Nothing like a few simple OP abilities to brighten one's day. Part of me was disappointed at never learning any new types of Magic, but the abilities I have now are adaptable enough to handle nearly any situation I've come across so far in the dungeons.
-#-#-#-#-
As a path through the army of Soldiers opens up, I spot the boss at the back of the enemy army. Grinning eagerly, I soar across the battlefield to reach him.
On top of a white horse is a king wrapped in shiny gold armor, with a crown on his head and a golden spear pointed towards me in challenge. '[Observe]'
King - Level 100
Abilities - [Spearmanship] [Light Beam] [Enhanced Strength] [Enhanced Defense] [Duplication]
This will certainly make for an interesting challenge. I'll have to be wary of him using [Duplication], he could try to use it to double-team me. And what's that [Light Beam] he has?
Hovering in front of the King, I summon two Holy Swords in my hands as I prepare to fight, accepting the challenge with a nod.
The King points his golden speak at me, light gathering at its tip. Reaching on instinct, I dodge to the side as a beam of light blasts through the space I was just at. 'So that's what it does. I wonder if I can teach the girls that?'
Quest Received:
[A King's Reward]
Objective: Defeat the [King]
Reward: [Companion Skill Card: Light Beam] (x2)
Thank you, System.
Flying at the King, I bring up my swords before swinging it down at his head.
[Swordsmanship] (Passive) - Lvl. 89 (Expert)
With a Clang!, my swords are blocked by the shaft of his spear as we struggle for a moment. His [Enhanced Strength] allowing him to match my own, my strength having grown even stronger now that I'm a Dragon.
Breaking the deadlock, I pull back as I use [Divide].
The golden shine coming from the King dims as the [Divine Dividing] wings flash warningly, drawing a curse from my lips. I had absorbed too much power from his soldiers earlier, and now I was at my limit.
If I'm not careful, [Dividing] too much power can cause my Sacred Gear to dispel, dropping out of my [Scale Mail] until I can summon it again. That mistake could be the difference between life and death.
Dodging another [Light Beam], I spare a glace back at my Dragon Knights, noticing that they've finally dealt with the last of the Soldiers and command them to help Raynare and Kalawarner finish off the mages.
Turning back to the King, I summon as many Holy Swords as I can. My new limit allowing for 20 Holy Swords to float around me.
With a mental command, I bombard the King with raining silver metal. The King spurs his horse into motion, racing across the field as he dodges my Holy Swords.
It's a nice tactic, but unfortunately for him, I can command them to turn. Like heat-seeking missiles, the flying Holy Swords turn in the air as they follow him.
Changing tactics, I keep half of the swords following him as I send the other half to head for where he's going before commanding them to stab into the ground. With the Holy Swords in the ground acting as a barricade, the King commands his horse to leap over them.
That was exactly what I hoped he would do.
CRASH!
As the horse prepared to jump, I dispelled the swords following him and increased the size of the ones stabbed into the ground.
There was nothing the King could do as his horse slammed into the Holy Swords, killing the mount upon impact and sending him flying.
The King proves himself an able fighter as he quickly comes out of the tumble into a stance, his golden spear pointed at me as I approach. The once shining armor is now scuffed and scratched in several spots, and I can see the sweat dripping from his forehead.
Summoning more Holy Swords, I notice the King glow bright gold for a moment before the glow separates from him and forms into a perfect replica of the king. '[Observe]'
King [Duplicate] - Level 100
Abilities - [Spearmanship] [Enhanced Strength] [Enhanced Defense]
'So, his Duplicate has the same talents as the original, but can't cast his spells?' That was a useful skill. I'm actually kind of jealous.
Frowning, I launch more Holy Swords at the two Kings as I summon two into my hands. Dual-wielding the swords once again as I fly at the original King.
The two Kings prove to be masters at wielding their spears, twirling the golden weapons as they deflect the Holy Swords away from them. Their focus on the blades flying at them from the front leaves the original King unaware of me coming for his unguarded back.
As I get within feet of the original King, I watch as his eyes widen before turning his spear around, taking several blades through the back as he clashes with the swords in my hands.
Before I can capitalize on it, I quickly back off as a [Light Beam] scrapes my side, shredding through my [Scale Mail] easily.
Clutching my bleeding side, a frustrated growl escapes my lips as I realize that the Duplicate had done the same thing the Original had, taking several blades to the back in order to assist the Original.
"Master!" "Master!" Came the worried shouts of Raynare and Kalawarner, filling me with relief. The girls had finally dealt with the last of the mages, and were racing across the sky to help me. Several dozen Lightspears appearing in the sky as their beautiful faces twist with anger as they glare at the boss and his Duplicate.
Now that it's 3-on-2, the King realizes that even with my injury, this battle is ours.
Summoning my Holy Swords, I launch them at his front as my girls send their Lightspears at his back. The King puts up a valiant defense as the Duplicate tries to reach him in time, but it's too late as his golden armor is pierce a dozen times at once, skewering his body.
Breathing a sigh of relief, I dispel my Holy Swords and Dragon Knights as the King's form fades into golden mist, alongside the Duplicate.
[King] defeated…
Quest Completed!
[A King's Reward]
Reward:
[Companion Skill Card: Light Beam] (x2)
Smiling, I allow the girls to fret over my injured side as we walk through the portal, exiting the Dungeon.
- Sakai Estate: Onsen -
The onsen was perhaps our favorite place in the Estate…outside of the bedroom of course.
Both Kalawarner and Raynare are kissing and liking my shaft as they work together to bring me to orgasm in thanks for their new status and power.
Raynare [Companion] - Level 100 - Servant of the White Dragon
Fallen - 10 Winged
Abilities - [Light Spears] [Light Beam]

[Loyalty Rewarded]
Reward:
[Obedience Crystal +20] (x2)
Their beautiful crow-like black wings are spread out behind them, looking like two goddesses worshiping their god.
"Don't start getting arrogant, little drake. You still have a long way to go before you can think that way." Albion's ancient voice warns me.
He's right…that was a pretty cocky thing to say. And I reign in my thoughts, drawing myself back to my present circumstances and the reality that, for all my strength, I'm still very weak compared to others.
Groaning, the girls' ministrations finally make me cum, spurting my seed all over their gorgeous faces as they take it with a smile. Once I finish, the girls clean themselves off before resting against me as we soak in the hot water.
We were just about to fall asleep amidst the heat and steam of the onsen when suddenly, we sense the presence of a heat flaring from Kuoh before an even more powerful cold overwhelms it.
Glancing at each other, I groan as the girls turn curiously to me.
"What was that, Master?" Kalawarner asks.
Sighing, I reply, "That, girls…was Rias Gremory's fiancée getting angry, and Grayfia Lucifuge's response to his anger."
The girls stare wide-eyed at me in shock. "That was the Strongest Queen? What is she doing here?"
I shrug, "Probably here to make sure nothing happens between Rias and her fiancée until their marriage."
Great…just what I needed, another reason to not go back into Kuoh for anything other than groceries. Hopefully, we can just wait it out as Issei uses his plot armor to defeat Riser after they lose the Rating Game.
'Yeah, like that's going to happen.'
- END -
Author Notes:
Things as starting to pick up! Sora and the girls are getting stronger, and it's almost time for the first real conflict of the story.
The interactions with the supernatural world will start picking up after the fight with Kokabiel. Because he's not part of a peerage, there needed to be something that would draw the other Faction's attention to him.
Hope you all are liking it so far! Thanks for checking out my story.
