Abyssal Chronicles

[No worries; I haven’t forgotten about the bonuses. I’ll release them as soon as I have some free time. They are prepared; I just need to edit them. So, six more chapters will be posted soon, maybe tomorrow or the day after that]

"What on earth is happening? Why do I look like this?"

A few days ago, when he saw himself in the mirror, transformed into a delicate doll-like figure with slender legs that shouldn’t have been on him, and touched the peculiar thread of heaven that shouldn’t have appeared on his body, the roar of the Dragon King Membeli echoed through the imperial palace.

Following this thunderous outburst, a barefooted dragon girl forcefully swept aside the remnants of shattered dragon eggs surrounding her. She charged fiercely toward Mokaro, gripping his collar with unrelenting intensity.

"What’s wrong with this body?!"

Facing the dragon loli’s question, Mokaro hadn’t said anything yet. On the side, the Academy headmaster Vinarola rushed forward anxiously, holding the delicate and soft body of Dragon King, pulling it down from Archbishop Mokaro. In any case, the Sacred Dragon King had just been reborn and was still very weak. The new body also needed adjustments, and the Vinarola didn’t want to easily provoke Mokaro, causing him to refuse cooperation in the future.

Patting the irritable Dragon Loli’s head, Vinarola quickly spoke to appease her,

"Your Majesty, please bear with it for now!"

"This body, how can I bear with it?! You said I would be mighty and majestic!"

"It’s beyond our control. Among the dragons, there are only these two royal dragon eggs that are compatible with your soul but have long lost their souls. Compared to the other egg that is inherently defective, this one is not bad. Although it’s a girl, at least it’s a complete girl. Right now, you may not be mighty, but in the future, you will definitely become powerful, like a Valkyrie. Dragon King, please bear with it for now!"

"No, no, no! If I’m like this, how can make love with other female dragons in the future?"

"Your Majesty please calm down. If you cannot form romantic relationships with other female dragons, it’s not a significant issue, is it? At the very least... you can consider forming bonds with some young male dragons in the future? A change of taste from time to time can be quite refreshing..."

"Get lost!"

After a tumultuous outburst, with great effort, Vinarola finally managed to pacify the Dragon King, who had almost gone into a riot. And the Dragon King, now transformed into a cute golden-haired loli, reluctantly crawled into the central nest of the hall after realizing that reality couldn’t be changed.

Here, she commenced the process of adapting to her new form, striving to flawlessly integrate her soul with her fresh embodiment, with the invaluable assistance of church’s members.

"This... is my new body... It is so weak..."

Looking at the harmless loli in the mirror and glancing at his own slender and feeble little hands, Membeli couldn’t help but feel helpless.

In truth, Membeli possessed remarkable adaptability. After a brief period of chaos and turmoil, subtle shifts began to unfold within his consciousness.

"Sigh..."

’At this point, everything had become inevitable and unchangeable. Continuing to fuss wouldn’t change anything... So why not just accept it?’

’Well’

’In this current state, It seemed somewhat acceptable compared to being motionless for eight hundred years...’

’Looking at it this way, maybe it isn’t so bad?’

’Although it was a bit regrettable not to regain This One’s former glory... But those little female dragons who applauded for love in the past seemed to say that a female dragon’s pleasure was much stronger than that of a male dragon...’

’So?’

’Maybe I should try it in the future…’

With that thought, Membeli even showed a somewhat excited expression in her eyes.

But in any case,

The key issue now was to quickly adapt to this body, complete the fusion of her soul, and restore her strength...

For this reason,

After some hesitation and a careful examination of her new body, she curled up, slowly crawled into her covers, and began a short period of rest. Like this, the Dragon King slept for several days...

Until now....

When she felt like someone had stepped on her tail like a Titan’s savage beast, under the intense pain, the Dragon King suddenly broke free from the dream and let out a thunderous Dragon Roar:

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!! Who’s stepping on this great one’s tail? Identify yourself, you audacious rascal!"

After a burst of roars.,

Membeli threw off the covers, spread her dragon wings, and glared at the source of the sound, which had suddenly appeared from somewhere—the pink-haired little girl who had stepped on her glorious tail.

"Was it you who stepped on this great one’s tail!!"

...

...

On the other side, facing the dragon loli who suddenly appeared in front of her with an imposing manner, Yuan’er blinked her eyes and briefly fell into a daze. After being called back to reality by the dragon loli’s roar, the little one curiously began to size up the golden-haired dragon loli who had approached.

Upon seeing those sharp dragon horns, majestic dragon wings, and the trident-like dragon tail behind her, Yuan’er looked somewhat surprised and covered her small mouth with her hand:

"A dragon?"

Gradually, her gaze descended, encompassing the dragon loli’s entire form. She observed the tender, water-spirit-like skin, partially covered by delicate golden dragon scales, which adorned her petite body. A faint blush crept onto Yuan’er’s cheeks.

As the former young lady of a Marquis family, Yuan’er, who had received noble education, couldn’t accept such bold behavior.

"You... you, you, you! You’re... you’re... so shameless! How can you... not... wear any clothes! You pervert dragon!!"

The little girl couldn’t contain her astonishment and blurted out.

The hand that had covered her small mouth abruptly rose to shield her mismatched eyes.

"Why... why aren’t you wearing clothes? In this state, aren’t you embarrassed ?"

Instead of directly responding to the Dragon King’s inquiry, Yuan’er posed her own question.

"Hmm?"

The Dragon King nonchalantly tilted her head in response to the little girl’s query. The sight of the timid young girl brought to mind memories of her prime, where little female dragons would approach her with affection but remain too bashful to meet her gaze.

Much like in those days, Membeli confidently placed her hands on her hips and chuckled, "Why feel ashamed? This magnificent body of mine is flawless and should be proudly displayed. What’s there to be shy about?"

She casually patted her nearly non-existent chest, showing no concern for her nakedness. In truth, as a former powerful dragon who once roamed the Earth in the form of a mighty dragon, Membeli had no such reservations.

"This grand display showcases the most primal and wild beauty! To label me a pervert... young people these days... they don’t know how to appreciate beauty" The Dragon King vented for a brief moment.

However, after a couple of complaints, Membeli shook her head repeatedly. She suddenly recalled that she hadn’t come here to argue about such trivial matters with the other party.

"No, no, no, none of this matters! Who are you? And why are you here?"

"I... I’m Yuan’er... I came here to explore."

"Hmm? Explore?"

"Yes, yes..." Yuan’er couldn’t help but cast a curious gaze at the peculiar dragon loli before her.

"I’ve answered your questions. So, shouldn’t you tell me who you are? Why are you here?"

"Who am I?" Membeli raised an eyebrow in response to Yuan’er’s question and then habitually launched into her self-introduction.

"Who am I? Hehe. My name... revealing it might frighten you! I am the guardian of the world’s order, once one of the world’s three pillars, the highest leader of the dragon race, possessing the Sacred Dragon Kin... Huh? Wait a minute..."

However, before she could utter more than a few words, the dragon loli’s speech suddenly halted. At that moment, Membeli vividly recalled the instructions Vinarola had given her earlier. To avoid arousing suspicion, especially from the Pope and other powerful entities on the continent, she needed to conceal her identity and quietly regain her strength until it was fully restored. This was essential to prevent the Dragon Race Revival Plan from faltering.

Recognizing this, Membeli took a deep breath and moderated her arrogant tone.

"Never mind, you can call me Meliora. Meliora Baroze."
