It seems that there is really no time flowing in Dimensional Gap. Even if there is such a big movement, the distorted appearance like a kaleidoscope will never change.
The land that was originally shrouded in high temperatures and blown away by the powerful blast wind stabilized at some point and returned to a state of floating aimlessly.
The explosion flames have dissipated, but the traces left by the big explosion and shock wave have not faded away. They are clearly left on this land, making the land that originally seemed desolate and dilapidated feel even more dilapidated. There are piles of rubble and charred traces everywhere.
"Bang----"
At a certain moment, a ball of flame appeared out of thin air in the sky of this land, and gradually transformed into the shape of Leo.
"Huh----"
Leo, who exhaled a breath, looked at the miserable state of this land and couldn't help but be speechless.
"Has it gone too far?"
He knew that the power of the fire lotus he had condensed should be very unusual. After all, he had no intention of holding back at that time. He activated the power of "Zenith Tempest" with all his strength, releasing the maximum fire attribute power that he could currently control. He also performed an extreme compression, which took the power of the flame to a higher level.
Unexpectedly, the fire attribute power compressed to the extreme would be so powerful after it exploded. This was something Leo had not expected.
"Fortunately, this place was not destroyed."
Leo glanced at the dilapidated land, and then looked at the castle.
The castle also became more dilapidated in the aftermath of the explosion. The city wall almost completely collapsed, and even the walls and windows were shattered by about 70%, exposing the internal structure of the castle. However, it still held on tenaciously and did not completely collapse.
After confirming this, Leo felt relieved.
He placed his hope of escaping from Dimensional Gap in that castle. If the castle was destroyed like that, he would have no place to cry.
Come to think of it, a castle guarded by a dragon king must have some big secrets inside, right?
"By the way, where's the dragon?"
Leo suddenly remembered this incident and began to look for the dragon.
As Magic Detection unfolded, Leo quickly found each other.
At this time, the dragon was lying on a pile of rubble.
Its condition was very miserable. All the soft, almost white fur on its body had been burned away, its skin was completely charred, its pair of dragon wings were half destroyed, and its bones were exposed. Even the horns on its head were broken. Its entire face was stained with blood, and it looked like it was dying.
"Ugh!"
Leo flapped ten Devil Wings and flew over, landing in front of the opponent, retracting its wings while making a sound.
"How's it going? Do you still want to fight?"
This sentence can be said to be quite bad.
In the current state of the dragon, let alone continue to fight, it would not even be able to move.
This is not the worst. The worst thing is that its signs of life are gradually weakening, its breathing has begun to become weak, and its blood-stained eyes slowly closed, letting blood and tears flow from them.
This is clearly a sign of imminent death.
Obviously, under the direct attack of Leo's astonishingly powerful fire lotus, even a dragon king with strong vitality and who had survived for an unknown number of years would inevitably suffer fatal injuries.
Leo just completed the achievement of slaying the dragon in Dimensional Gap, and he still slayed the Dragon King.
Of course, he didn't feel that he had gone too far.
It was the other party who made the first move. The Electric Breath that the other party spat out again and again showed no sign of mercy. They were just here to evaporate the other person. In this case, why should Leo be merciful?
But----
"Do you want to live?" Leo stood in front of the dragon and said, "If you want to live, tell me what you know."
Yes, Leo wants to try again to see if he can communicate with the other party and get some information.
Not to mention the way to leave here directly, even if you only know the origin of this land and the information about the castle, your trip will not be in vain.
Unfortunately, the dragon still did not respond to his intention.
However, this time, the other party may not want to respond, but may not be able to respond.
Its signs of life completely disappeared and it stopped breathing on the spot.
It's dead.
"----It's really troublesome."
Leo scratched his head, and finally spread out a magic square above his palm, letting a chess piece fly out.
Astonishingly, it was Evil Piece left in the hands of Leo.
This is the same "Pawn" piece as Ram and Rem.
And this chess piece was shining brightly at this time, telling Leo that there was a family member in front of him who was very suitable for this chess piece.
"Take a dragon king as your kinsman?"
Leo suddenly smiled.
"That's not bad."
With that said, Leo pressed the glowing Evil Piece on the dragon that died of serious injuries and recited the incantation.
"Ordered in the name of Leo·Eligos-
"You, the unknown dragon, in order to become my servant, your soul returns to this place again."
"Become Devil and rejoice in your new life."
As the spell fell, the glowing Evil Piece also shattered and turned into countless light particles that merged into the dragon's body, causing a hazy glow to begin to appear on the dragon's body.
In the radiance, the dragon's charred body began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if time had gone back. Even the burned fur, broken horns, and flowing blood were being regenerated, allowing the dragon's signs of life to flourish again.
At the same time, Leo also received the message generated by its own characteristics.
[Feature·Peerage Transformation, taking effect----]
[Get basic feedback Demonic Power (large amount).]
[Get advanced feedback Sacred Gear (enhancement).]
[Get additional feedback - Feature ·Lightning.]
Almost at the moment after receiving this message, the Demonic Power in Leo's body began to surge.
This time, he accepted a dependent of Dragon King Class. This strength alone qualifies him to be rated as a high potential. The Demonic Power that gave him feedback was also extremely large, more than any time so far. Demonic Power of Leo had just been promoted to the ten-wing level, reaching the limit in one breath and hitting the barrier to promotion.
The current Leo and Demonic Power are estimated to be the strongest among the Ten-Winged Class classes. The level can be roughly compared to Kokabiel. They can confront the Demon King and are only half a step away from Maou-Class, and they can cross over at any time.
A Demonic Power of this level probably only needs to take in one more medium-potential dependent, and Leo can be directly promoted to Maou-Class. This shows how close his current Demonic Power is to Maou-Class.
"Zenith Tempest" has also been strengthened, and its power has been strengthened again. It may have surpassed "True Longinus", which is known as the strongest Longinus.
Of course, what Leo cares about the most is the final additional feedback.
"Characteristic·Lightning?"
Has he acquired new characteristics?
Thinking of this, Leo stretched out his hand, mobilized Demonic Power in his body, and tried to convert it into thunder attributes.
Realizing Demonic Power into Lightning, it's not that Leo couldn't do it, but maybe he didn't have any talent in this area. The power of Lightning that was realized was simply worrying, not even half as powerful as the most common Magic Bullet, so he simply gave up and went to Lightning Demonic Power this road.
In sharp contrast are Rias Gremory's "Queen" and Akeno Himejima. That one is best at using Lightning Demonic Power to fight, so he got the title "Thunder Priestess".
However, Akeno Himejima is only able to use Lightning Demonic Power because of his talent in this area, which is completely different from its characteristics.
Just like Sona Shitori, as Pure-blood Devil who was born as Sitri Clan, she is extremely good at using Demonic Power of water, but this is the result of the Sitri Clan's characteristics and is completely different from her personal talent.
You don't need to be talented, as long as you can use it freely by relying on the characteristics of your blood. To put it simply, one needs to study hard, and the other can rely on God's blessings.
The bloodline of the Eligos Clan also has benefits in this regard. Pure-blood Devil, who comes from this family, is naturally good at detection, and Demonic Power is most comfortable in conducting detection operations.
Now, Leo relies on the additional feedback brought by the "Peerage Transformation" feature to give its own Demonic Power features other than detection.
So, when he tried to materialize Demonic Power into Lightning this time, he was surprised to find that his Demonic Power completed the transformation extremely smoothly, causing dazzling lightning to bloom in his hands.
The smoothness is completely different from before.
If we say that the previous Leo had to work hard to control Demonic Power, deepen the impression, and let oneself have a deep understanding of the concept of Lightning, only then could he be able to use If he has the imagination to manifest Demonic Power into Lightning, then with just a thought, Demonic Power will immediately manifest itself into Lightning. The process is called a relaxing and freehand process.
Moreover, the power of Lightning that materialized in the past was only half of the most common Magic Bullet, but the power of Lightning that has materialized now is frighteningly powerful, comparable to the natural power of thunder that Leo releases using "Zenith Tempest".
"What if this Lightning Demonic Power is injected into "Zenith Tempest" and used as fuel to release Lightning?"
At the same time that this idea came into mind, Leo had already activated the power of "Zenith Tempest", using Lightning Demonic Power in his hand as fuel, injecting it into Sacred Gear, and then releasing the power of Lightning.
"Boom!!!"
The next second, Leo's hand bloomed with terrifying power and thunder, directly lighting up the entire world.
Seeing this scene, Leo's eyes lit up on the spot.
He tried again using ordinary Demonic Power as fuel and activated "Zenith Tempest" to release Lightning. As a result, although the Lightning released this time was also amazingly powerful, it was not as terrifying as the one just now.
"Good guy, the gap is several times greater."
Both use "Zenith Tempest" to release the power of Lightning, use Lightning Demonic Power as fuel, and use ordinary Demonic Power as fuel. The power difference between the two is several times, which can be said to be a huge difference.
The appearance of Lightning Demonic Power has not only raised the combat power of Leo to a higher level under normal conditions, but also greatly improved the power when using "Zenith Tempest" to release the power of Lightning.
"If it were now, I would dare to use the power of Lightning to compete with the ice Demonic Power of the current Demon King Serafall·Leviathan."
This makes Leo somewhat excited.
However, when he thought of his current situation, Leo quickly calmed down.
"Whether I can go back and see Serafall is still unknown. Let's find a way to get out of trouble first."
Thinking of this, Leo put away the power of Lightning in his hand and turned to look in front of him.
By this time, the soft-looking dragon had fully recovered and woke up.
It opened a pair of big eyes, propped up its body, and looked at Leo condescendingly, with a strong sense of oppression.
Leo raised his eyes and looked into Long's eyes, his face was calm.
"Can you take human form?"
Leo asked with a calm expression.
Not all dragons can transform into human form like Tiamat.
In the original work, only Tiamat in Five Great Dragon Kings has transformed into a human form, and not even Heavenly Dragon has transformed into a human form. It can be seen that transforming into a human form also requires talent or practice.
Leo still hopes that the dragon in front of him can turn into a human form, otherwise he will probably have to carry a dragon around with him in the future.
The dragon, who didn't know what Leo was thinking, looked at him quietly for a while, and then suddenly his whole body glowed with a soft light.
The light enveloped the giant dragon's body, causing the giant dragon to slowly shrink.
As time went by, the giant dragon shrank even smaller than Leo, and then it stopped changing and dissipated its light.
"Ah----"
Leo, who originally looked calm, froze when he saw the person in front of him clearly.
Because what appeared in front of him was a young girl who looked like she was in the lower or middle grades of elementary school.
The girl is only about 120 centimeters tall. She is very similar to a human primary school bun. She wears ethnic-style clothes, has long purple ponytail hair and big blue eyes. She looks petite and cute, very cute, and has the feeling of being carved from a girl."
The little girl just stared at Leo eagerly, without saying anything, but it seemed that she had said everything, which made the corners of Leo's mouth begin to twitch.
"----Are you really that dragon just now?"
Leo was silent for a long time before speaking out.
It looked like he was unwilling to accept this reality.
"Gah!"
The little girl seemed to see his contempt from Leo's attitude, and made a very unhappy expression like a dragon roaring, as if to tell Leo that she was very fierce, but she looked like she was being cute.
Leo put his hand on his forehead.
He was slightly dizzy.
When he thought that the person he had accidentally killed was such a pink and tender little loli, Leo felt a huge sense of guilt in his heart.
The key is that he recognized the identity of this loli dragon.
This is another chaotic character.
"Tell me what your name is."
Leo Let's just ask this.
The little girl blinked her eyes, and then made a sound slightly reluctantly.
"Kanna·Kamui."
