Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: The First Dragon Bond

The massive dragon knelt before Kai.

Its enormous head lowered slowly until its glowing eyes were level with him.

Hot dragon breath rolled across the street like burning wind.

Kai stood there for a few seconds… completely stunned.

Then he pointed at himself.

"Wait… you're bowing to me?"

The dragon didn't move.

Its wings folded calmly behind its body.

Lyra whispered from behind him.

"Kai… don't do anything stupid."

Kai glanced back.

"That advice would have been useful ten chapters ago."

Lyra ignored the joke.

Her eyes were fixed on the dragon.

"If the system says this is a bond opportunity… then this is extremely rare."

Kai scratched his head.

"Define rare."

Lyra answered quietly.

"Only Dragon Sovereigns can create direct dragon bonds."

Kai slowly looked back at the creature.

The dragon remained still… waiting.

Above them, the Sovereign Dragon watched silently.

The Dragon King hovered nearby like a royal guard.

Kai sighed.

"Well… no pressure."

The system suddenly flashed again.

[Dragon Bond Initiation Available]

Kai blinked.

"Okay… so how do I actually do this?"

Another message appeared.

[Place hand on dragon's head]

Kai stared at the screen.

"That's it?"

Lyra nodded slowly.

"That's how dragon contracts begin."

Kai took a deep breath.

"Alright then."

He walked forward.

Every step echoed across the broken street.

The dragon remained completely still.

When Kai reached it, the creature lowered its head even further.

Kai raised his hand slowly.

Golden energy flickered around his fingers.

"Here goes nothing."

He placed his hand on the dragon's head.

BOOOOOOM.

A wave of dragon energy exploded outward.

The ground cracked beneath Kai's feet.

Golden flames erupted around both of them.

Lyra stumbled backward.

"Kai!"

The dragon roared loudly.

But this roar was different.

It wasn't anger.

It was power.

The system began flashing rapidly.

[Dragon Bond Forming]

[Energy Synchronization: 10%]

Kai clenched his teeth.

The energy rushing through his body felt like molten fire.

His vision blurred.

But he refused to move his hand.

"Not… backing out now."

The dragon's glowing eyes locked with his.

For a moment, Kai felt something strange.

Memories.

Images.

Battles fought long ago.

Ancient skies filled with dragons.

Then the system flashed again.

[Energy Synchronization: 45%]

The dragon suddenly spread its wings.

The street exploded with wind.

But Kai held his ground.

Lyra watched in disbelief.

"No human should be able to survive that much dragon energy…"

Kai gritted his teeth harder.

"Well…"

"I guess I'm not normal."

The synchronization continued.

[Energy Synchronization: 78%]

Golden flames erupted around Kai's body.

His Dragon Sovereign Aura expanded across the entire street.

Even the Dragon King stepped back slightly.

The Sovereign Dragon's glowing eyes narrowed.

It was watching carefully now.

Kai felt the energy finally stabilize.

Then the system displayed the final message.

[Dragon Bond Complete]

The golden flames vanished instantly.

The dragon slowly lifted its head.

Kai stepped back.

The creature looked at him for a moment.

Then it spoke inside his mind.

"My Sovereign."

Kai blinked.

"Oh… that's new."

Lyra ran toward him.

"Kai! Are you alive?"

Kai stretched his arms casually.

"Still breathing."

Lyra stared at the dragon.

"You actually bonded a dragon…"

Kai looked at the creature.

It was massive.

Black scales.

Golden eyes.

Powerful wings.

"Okay," Kai said slowly.

"If you're my dragon now…"

"What's your name?"

The dragon answered immediately.

"Drakar."

Kai nodded.

"Nice to meet you, Drakar."

But before anyone could celebrate—

The dimensional gate above the city suddenly exploded again.

CRAAAAACK.

The sky tore open wider.

Lyra looked up.

Her face turned pale instantly.

"Oh no…"

Kai followed her gaze.

"What now?"

Lyra whispered.

"That wasn't the dragon army…"

Kai frowned.

"What do you mean?"

Lyra pointed at the portal.

"That was just the scouts."

Kai stared at the sky.

Because now…

Something enormous was pushing through the gate.

Bigger than the Sovereign Dragon.

Bigger than anything Kai had seen.

Dozens of massive dragon silhouettes moved behind it.

Kai slowly sighed.

"Of course."

"Why would things ever be easy?"

The system flashed one final message.

[New Threat Detected]

Kai cracked his knuckles.

"Well…"

"Guess the real battle starts now."

What terrifying creature is entering the world from the Dragon Realm?

Why are so many dragons following Kai's bloodline?

And what will happen when the Dragon Sovereign finally awakens his true power?

What will happen next?
