Mmm, I'm Going to Become a Stupid Young Dragon

The more mysterious a spell was, the more powerful it was.

Some powerful spells in legends even possessed their own consciousness. When faced with spells like these, even powerful spellcasters had to treat them with caution.

Dark Curse Master was what ordinary people called them. In reality, they were spellcasters.

A spellcaster's strength depended on the spells they had mastered. The stronger the spells, the stronger the spellcaster.

She had discovered the Dragon Transformation Spell in a ruined temple. After finding it, she had always regarded the Dragon Transformation Spell as a life-saving spell.

She would only use the Dragon Transformation Spell when she was in a desperate situation and her life was in danger.

She had originally thought that she would activate and use the Dragon Transformation Spell on the day she was sent to the gallows.

Unexpectedly, she never made it to the gallows. Instead, she met an Imperial Daughter.

She would never forget the first thing Lucia said to her when the Imperial Daughter met her.

Powerful Dark Wizard, can you make me someone else's nightmare?

At the time, she didn't understand why Lucia wanted to become someone else's nightmare. She simply thought that Lucia had taken a liking to her identity as a Dark Wizard and wanted to use that identity to make her do some dirty, unspeakable things.

Since an Imperial Daughter had rescued her from prison, she naturally had to seize the opportunity. She said she could do it—that she could make Your Highness someone else's nightmare.

Then Lucia took her out of prison. That very night, Lucia summoned her to the bedroom and asked her how she could become someone else's nightmare.

She asked Lucia whom she wanted to kill. Lucia was stunned for a long time before she finally came to her senses and waved her hands frantically. She said she didn't want to kill anyone; she simply wanted to enter her Imperial Sister Asina's dream and scare her a little. She didn't want to kill that awful Imperial Sister of hers.

Only then did she realize that when Lucia said she wanted to become someone else's nightmare, she really did want to become someone else's nightmare.

That "someone else" didn't mean a group of people. It referred specifically to her Imperial Sister, Asina. As she spent more and more time with Lucia, she discovered that Lucia actually wasn't scheming at all. She was dazed, clumsy, and adorably foolish. Even while living with a Dark Wizard like her, Lucia never guarded against her. She even said that once she came of age, she would let her become her Guardian Knight. Dark Guardian Knight was a title she had only ever heard used for recruiting upright, righteous knights who possessed the spirit of knighthood. She had never heard of anyone recruiting a Dark Wizard to serve as a Guardian Knight. She didn't regret using the Dragon Transformation Spell she had saved to preserve her life on Lucia.

Even if she lost her strongest life-saving spell, she didn't feel heartbroken. What she feared now was that Lucia, after transforming into a dragon, would never be able to turn back into a human and would become a true dragon. The strange changes in the Dragon Transformation Spell made her realize that perhaps she had never truly understood the spell she had obtained by chance. A spell that could distort and change itself before automatically disappearing from her mind. She had thought such a thing existed only in legends, but she had actually encountered it. The strange changes in the Dragon Transformation Spell were definitely not a good thing for Lucia. Eva was worried that if too much time passed, even the temple might be unable to dispel the Dragon Transformation Spell from Lucia. The spell's power might completely fuse with Lucia's body.

"Will her soul also turn into a dragon?"

The smile vanished from Asina's eyes. Her body turning into a dragon was one thing, but if even her soul turned into a dragon, what difference would there be between her and a true dragon? She could accept her body turning into a dragon, but she couldn't accept her soul turning into one as well.

Letting her turn into a dragon for fun was fine, but making her remain a dragon for the rest of her life was absolutely unacceptable.

Compared to being a dragon, she still preferred being human.

"Yes."

"If the Curse Power disappears, can her soul turn back?"

"If we can find Lucia in the shortest possible time, there may still be a chance to remove the Curse Power from her. But if too much time passes, Your Highness may very well never be able to turn back into a human."

Asina frowned. "Is it that serious? You were the one who cursed her. Can't even you remove the Curse Power from her?"

"The Dragon Transformation Spell underwent a strange change without my knowledge. I'm powerless to control it now. Besides, the Dragon Transformation Spell could disappear from my mind at any moment. When that happens, I'll only remember that I once obtained a very powerful Dragon Transformation Spell, but I won't be able to remember what it looked like."

"Spell out of control? I've heard of source energy going out of control, but this is the first time I've heard of a spell going out of control."

"It isn't out of control. It's disappearing. It's as if... as if... A mission! Right! It's as if the Dragon Transformation Spell completed its mission, then disappeared and returned to the God of Curses."

"???"

That explanation was certainly novel.

"I can barely understand it. Don't attribute everything to the gods. Even if the Underdog Imperial Sister really can't turn back into a human, it doesn't matter. Once we rescue her, I might even try signing a Dragon Knight Contract with her.

That's fine. Don't put any psychological pressure on yourself. Just do your best. You cursed her to turn into a dragon with good intentions; you never meant to harm her. So don't burden yourself with guilt.

Eva, whether I can become the Underdog Imperial Sister's knight depends on you."

Asina once again returned to her former appearance, seemingly indifferent to everything. It was as though even the most serious matters became trivial once they reached her.

Signing a Dragon Knight Contract with her Imperial Sister after she had turned into a dragon? Eva thought that Her Highness Asina was truly broad-minded. Still, working for her really did give people a comfortable feeling.

"Go to bed early tonight. We can read the rest of the books related to evil dragons tomorrow. Finding the Black Dragon and rescuing the Underdog Imperial Sister Lucia will become a long battle, so get some rest. I'm going to sleep."

"Sweet dreams."

"Mm. I hope I dream tonight that I'm riding the Underdog Imperial Sister, who has turned into a dragon, as we conquer new territories for the Farolyn Empire."

"..."

June 21, 3455, Black Dragon Calendar. Cloudy skies clearing up.

This morning, the evil dragon abandoned his method of teaching the young dragon Lucia Dragon Language through pinyin. He switched to an even more outrageous method of teaching the young dragon Dragon Language.

Memory Inheritance.

The evil dragon planned to extract the inherited memories related to Dragon Language and dragon speech from his mind and stuff them into the young dragon Lucia's mind.

He would let the young dragon Lucia slowly absorb them.

Lucia was panicking.

If the inherited memories of a giant dragon were infused into the body of a human who wasn't a real young dragon, would that human's soul collapse because it couldn't withstand the giant dragon's inherited memories? As an Imperial Daughter, Lucia had heard of plenty of such things. Inherited memories were good things, but it also depended on whether the recipient could withstand them. Some ancient Mage Towers also possessed Memory Inheritance. Their inheritances were very gentle: one accepted a little each year, taking several or even more than ten years to slowly absorb the ancient inheritances of the Mage Tower. But the evil dragon's inherited memories of Dragon Language... What if she couldn't withstand such a massive amount of inherited information and became a stupid young dragon? T_T

I don't want to become a stupid young dragon!

"E-Evil... evil dragon, are you sure that if you stuff such a huge mass of inherited memories into my mind, I-I-I won't be overwhelmed by your inherited memories and turned into a stupid young dragon?"
