Demon Lord’s Reincarnation

“Retrieve one of your stolen hearts. So you’re asking me to hunt down a powerful Ancient one who I don’t know where he is, steal back the heart of the mother of all dragons, and escape while most likely being chased by numerous Gods and most possibly other Ancient Ones. Sounds easy enough consider it done.”

{Child I understand your reluctance.}

‘Huh, did I sound reluctant?’ Erste thought confused as he had meant every word he said before. Still, for now, he remained silent to see what Mitera had to say.

{I do not plan to make you do this task alone. Three of my most powerful children will accompany you to fulfill this task. They’ll help you locate and fight the Ancient One. Of course, they will retreat if they find that their life is at risk. Is that alright with you?}

‘I would have wanted to just know where the Ancient One is located.’ Even though those were his real thoughts Erste decided to simply nod his head.

{Are you reluctant to bring my own children? Do not worry I won’t force them to go if they do not wish to and like I said they will leave once their lives are at risk. So in the end, the completion of the task will still fall into your hands.}

“I already said that I would do the task, it doesn’t matter if your children are there or not.” Erste was finally getting slightly annoyed.

{You’re an interesting child, tell me your name.} The mother of all Dragons with her majestic voice and presence actually sounded amused as she spoke.

“I don’t know why you’re asking this now, but my name is Erste.”

{Courageous human warrior Erste, I the Dragon of the beginning, the walker in the sea of chaos, the mother of all dragons acknowledge your bravery. Now without further ado, these are the children whom I wish to accompany you on your journey.}

Two portals that were the same size as Tenma’s dragon form appeared beside the mother of all Dragons Mitera. What came out of the portals were two massive dragons that were of equal size to Tenma’s dragon form. freёwebnovel.com

One of the Dragon was golden shining brightly and the other was crimson red as if its entire body was dyed in blood. The two dragons upon arriving bowed their heads in front of the mother of all dragons.

{My children you shall accompany this human to the lair of the Ancient One who took my heart.}

{Mother are you finally willing to do battle with the Gods?!} The crimson-red dragon roared excitedly as his fighting spirit rose. {Mother if you wish to take back your heart why do we need a human for that?}

{My child you seem to misunderstood this is a task I gave to Erste. This is his mission and all you need to do is help him on this journey. Of course, if you feel that you’re life is threatened you may retreat.}

When the two dragons heard their mother’s reply they were stunned into silence. Their mother, the origin of all dragons, had called a human child with his own name. If that wasn’t surprising enough their mother actually tasked this human being to go and get back her heart from an Ancient one.

{Mother, why?}

The Mother of all Dragons started explaining the situation to his two children and the more they heard the more surprised they became.

{Erste these are the three who will accompany you. Since you already know who Tenma is I’ll skip his introduction, now for these two. The Golden Dragon,} Before the mother of all Dragons could finish the introduction the Golden Dragon spoke first.

{Mother please allow us to introduce ourselves.}

{Very well.}

The two gigantic dragons nodded at each other and transformed into human forms as they approached Erste and Frieda. The two were as handsome as Tenma in his human form and they were rather tall as well.

One of the two transformed dragons had long golden hair tied into a ponytail, and his eyes were scarlet red, despite his young handsome appearance he had an aura that made him feel like a dignified old person.

The other Dragon had short spiky red hair, his eyes were a mix of golden and blue, and unlike the golden-haired one, the red-haired one had an aura of wildness as if he was ready to attack anyone who dared mess with him.

“Since our mother has called you by name that means you are an honorable human, so I shall respect you as such. Erste, my name is Skatt, the one who shines golden in the sea of stars. The one who upholds justice above all, that is who I am.”

“Hmph, more like the one who nags a lot.” Hearing the Red-haired one speak, Skatt glared at the other party but said nothing. “It’s my turn to introduce myself, the name’s Blod, the one who bathes in crimson. The one who adores battle, that’s me.” Blod pointed at himself with a confident smile on his face.

“The one who adores battle is it, I think you and I will get along splendidly.”

“Hoh, Is that so.” The two of them were smiling at each other.

“Hey, wait a minute how come you two have such cooler introductions now? What the f*ck is the one who shines golden in the sea of stars, and the one who bathes crimson?”

“Oh those were added a few thousand years ago, the Gods seem to call us by those nicknames since they don’t know our real names,” Skatt answered.

“Wait does that mean I too have a cool nickname, I just didn’t hear about it?” Hearing Tenma’s question both Skatt and Blod looked at each other and hesitated to answer. “Hey, you two why aren’t you answering?”

The two Dragons once again looked at each other communicating through telepathy and finally, it was Blod who spoke.

“Fine, I’ll tell him. The nickname the Gods gave you is Black Dragon.”

“Black Dragon what?”

“That’s it, the nickname they gave you is simply Black Dragon.”

It took several seconds for Tenma to understand what was just said and when he realized what it meant he felt downhearted.
