[MC point of view]

[Two months later]

Two months had passed since I defeated Electra and I was almost ready to go for my next prey.

During these months I had been doing the same old thing.

Fighting.

Training.

Fight again.

Train again.

The only significant advances that have happened to me is that my fire has increased one more level, my fire was now a darker blue and from time to time had purple flashes.

They could even hurt Tannin.

Not very seriously, but something was something.

Also, when I used [Boost] and then [Transfer] on my flames I was sure that even he wouldn't be able to get up easily.

My revenge... I mean victory was getting closer and closer.

I had also improved in my use of Dragon Aura along with Touki I was close to perfecting that skill.

Verity wouldn't know what hit her and more so because I was close to breaking the barrier to become a satan class, well I was sure dragons, angels and fallen angels and other pantheons had a classification for that level other than devils, but she had already stuck with that fanfic classification in her past life.

He just needed one more step, one last push to move forward.

The most significant improvements had to do with my Sacred Gear, after spending the last month meditating I had started having visions of the former carriers.

Some were not very impressive if I had to admit it, but there were a few that were impressive and had abilities that I was going to take for myself.

What can I say?

Anything I learned might come in handy at some point.

Soon I would be able to get into the part of the Boosted Gear where the consciousness of the former carriers resided and then I would be free game.

[I'm terrified of the smile you put on when you talk about my former carriers] Ddraig spoke to me as the Boosted Gear materialized on my arm with what I could assume would be a blank stare.

"When I defeat them all, there will be no doubt that I am the strongest Sekiryuutei in history" I replied with a smile that was begging for blood.

[...]

"Imagine Albion's face when he finds out."

[What are you waiting for, keep meditating the faster you become my strongest wielder the better] Ddraig roared at me causing me to laugh before dematerializing the red gauntlet.

Someone was coming.

While Tannin and his wives knew that I was the Red Dragon Emperor of this generation, the rest of the inhabitants of this territory did not and wanted to keep it that way.

It was not yet time for me to reveal myself to the world.

"Issei-san!" called a female voice that I recognized as Andromeda Tanin one of Tannin's youngest daughters.

She was about 18 years old though.

She was a high level dragon and in a few years would be entering the ranks of the Ultimate class or so Verity told me, she might be a little biased on that due to it being her daughter but I wasn't going to mention it.

I like to live thank you.

"What's up Andromeda?" I had spoken to her very few times, I came to this place to train not socialize.

I guess I'm obsessed with getting stronger.

Well there are worse things I could be obsessed with.

"Bova disappeared into the human world along with other young dragons."

Bova Tanin was Tannin's youngest and most troubled son but even he wouldn't be stupid enough to reveal the supernatural to humanity.

Or well I would hope so.

He was also the son of Tannin with whom I got along the best.

"I don't think that's such a big deal" I pointed out to him gently.

"They did it chasing a vampire that was in the territory!" She screamed clearly freaking out about the situation.

Oh...

Now I could understand the problem.

Dragons were one of the most powerful beings on earth.

Many factions and criminal groups wanted to get their hands on us because of this fact and this place where there were so many young dragons was basically the golden goose for them.

Usually Tannin and the rest of the Ultimate Class dragons were constantly guarding the territory to keep any of them out.

The satan class elder dragons also had their senses alert in their parts of the territory to prevent anything like that from happening.

It also helped that Tannin being now a very popular devil due to his position in the ranked games had the support of the devil faction for these incidents.

Which lessened the chances of many factions trying to get their hands on the young dragons that was here, of course some factions and groups were still brave enough to try.

Today was one of those times and they had succeeded in driving some of the dragons away from this place.

Just when Tannin, Verity, Electra and some of the stronger dragons were gone.

"Have you communicated with Tannin?" I asked feeling I wasn't going to like the answer.

"He's not responding" He answered with desperation clearly seeing a pattern to this.

Yes this was definitely not a coincidence.

"Come on" Was all I said as my wings came to life lifting me into the air.

I could go ask the Satan class elder dragons for help, but none of them would move without Tannin's direct order.

Or at least it would take time to convince them, which we didn't have.

They were too stubborn.

Besides, without trying to sound arrogant counting on Ddraig's power I was outside of Tannin the strongest dragon living in the territory.

[That's true, but still be careful] Ddraig warned me through our mind link.

"I know" I responded in kind.

I didn't like the idea, but if the situation was too dire I would use the Boosted Gear to hell with the consequences.

While I certainly wasn't that friendly with Bova and less so with him the rest of the dragons that followed him, I wasn't ungrateful.

Tannin had given me a place in his territory and had helped me train alongside other dragons.

If I had to reveal myself to the world to save one of his children, I would do it without hesitation.

Of course I could always make sure that none of the vampires involved could say that I was the Sekiryuutei in case I was forced to reveal my secret.

After all the dead usually can't tell on you.

Not that I plan on letting any of those involved in this kidnapping attempt live anyway.

"How long has it been since they disappeared?" I asked as I followed her to the place where Bova disappeared.

"About 45 minutes" She replied and within seconds we were at the where the event had occurred.

I saw several adult and younger dragons checking the area clearly all were agitated by what was going on.

It was very difficult to track teleportation magic, but it was possible if you had a good sense and understanding of the magic used and the species that used it.

Vampiric magic was different from draconic magic and demonic magic, although it had certain similarities to the latter.

Something that even among the most experienced mages was very, very difficult to have.

Not that I was an experienced mage, but I had a great sense of magic and could link my power with the remnants of vampiric magic that were left scattered in the environment.

This way I can create a magic circle to the last place where the teleportation magic was used which was the place where Bova and the rest of the young dragons were.

Oh at least I hoped so.

Good thing I had improved my affinity with nature otherwise it would be impossible for me to track.

After a few minutes I was finally able to fully bond with the vampiric magic present in this place and created the teleportation circle.

Andromeda saw what I was doing and spoke to me.

"Take me with you" She asked me and obviously I refused.

"It's too dangerous" and obviously Verity would kill me if I took her.

"I'll be back with them soon" I told her as the circle took me towards my target.

"Please do" It was the last thing I heard before I disappeared.
