Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

As the roar subsided, the battlefield soon turned into a death-stilled mood as they saw the dragon's massive body enlarged twice, its black scales shining in a jet-black color that devoured even a light. The usual pair of wings now spurted from the miasma surrounding its body, forming another two.

The transformation figure of the dragon halts everyone in the place.

"My part has ended!". Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire

After delivering the black ball, the person in the hood disappears from the place, leaving nothing but an empty air unnoticed by others.

The dragon flaps its broad wings and sends a hurl of tremendous shockwaves that blow away the debris and dust around it. Turbulence begins as the miasma on the dragon's body shoots forward like a spear, chasing away the Awakeners nearby.

"Woah".

"Gah!".

"Someone injured?!".

"Retreat!".

One by one, the nearby Awakeners retreated from the place, giving Lancelot a headache because of the sudden element that prevented him from finishing the dragon while it was still considered an infant in mind.

Because of the help of a mysterious figure, the whole premise of this Dragon slaying became a crumbling piece of block that he had stacked over time. A black line formed across his forehead, and he firmly clutched the spear in his hand.

"Don't falter, move with caution and see if there are any changes…?!". Lancelot roared, and the fact that his head was still working properly in this situation was proof of his quality as one of the party leaders in Camelot Guild.@@novelbin@@

However, before Lancelot finished his speech, the dragon had finished its preparation. Before its mouth, a small compressed energy formed in an instant, and it shot forward quickly.

Startled, Lancelot managed to dodge it in the nick of time, but he didn't have the composure like earlier as one of his legs that carried the jump had pulverized without leaving anything in remain.

"Leader?!".

"Mr. Lancelot?!".

"?!".

"...".

All his party members screamed in worry, looking at his captain's condition. They intended to surround their leader, but the dragon movement was too dangerous to ignore, so they were rooted in places.

"Don't worry about me!".

A green aura began to cloak Lancelot's figure as his breathing also returned to normal for the support team that stayed behind. Slowly, the loose part of his leg began to grow, regenerating the bones, blood vessels, muscles, and skin.

The sight was pretty gruesome for those who witnessed it for the first time, but for people like Awakeners, losing one of two limbs in an expedition to Dungeon is pretty usual. That is why the appearance of a Light elemental magic, the user of Healing Magic, is essential for the team.

"Are you alright, leader?".

"Yeah, thank you for the help!".

Lancelot clenched his now barefoot leg and felt no anomalies within it, and he stood up.

"Rooooaaaarrr!!!".

A loud cry from the dragon brought his attention to the fort, and he witnessed the dragon having finished adapting to its new power. Lancelot now saw a massive figure of the dragon with a hunched back standing tall, towering like a building.

The plan to finish the dragon while it was in the ground had foiled, and now they must experience first-hand just how fearsome the being told in ancient times could wipe out a single town in a blink.

"This is going to be a disaster". Lancelot grips his spear shaft and prepares his stance, ready to face the newborn dragon head one with the other in the second class.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Viana stood in front of a single door in the innermost corner of the place, gulping her saliva for the tension that shrouded her body—slowly strangling her neck, preventing air from circulating to her brain.

'God, this atmosphere is so unsettling!' As she grumbled, the door before her 'clicked,' and just before she could prepare herself, a white mist emerged along with the sliding steel door.

Behind the door, there is only infinite darkness that threatens a person's sanity. The eyes hidden beneath that darkness open from their slumber and start to devour anything in sight; even the brief escaped light from the opened door feels helpless in front of it.

Viana's body flinched as she heard an unsettling stepping sound from within the darkness. As she unconsciously gulped her saliva to moisten her parched throat.

The footsteps were getting nearer, and a shadow of a human figure stepped out wearing his Academy uniform, the form of a symbol of his alma mater.

"How have you been, Soma?".

The boy, Soma, glanced at Viana before inhaling a deep breath to feel the freedom he had gained after being convinced for days inside a room. He clenched his fist hard and felt the strength he had acquired boiling. He lifted his lips and spoke.

"...Yeah, never better!".

"I'm glad," Viana sighed, desperately holding on to her urge to wipe the sweat that trickled along her forehead. However, because time was pressing, she began to take a personal terminal from her storage and opened her mouth.

"I am sorry for saying this to you, who just got out, but we have a situation".

"...Brief me, please".

The two began to leave the room while discussing the events of the few days Soma had been absent.

"I am truly sorry, but we still couldn't figure out their hideout even after we keep you in this place; it seems the demon side still maintains its passive state."

"Sure, this is 'them' we are talking about. There must be something in play here to make them still vigilant to this state".

"You are right... ...If we have proof even a little!".

Viana, who knew how the demon operated, sighed in resignation while muttering something inaudible in a low voice. This made it hard for her to predict what they would do.

Soma also was in the pickle because of the juggle-up story he had changed from this and there, making him unable to predict what sort of event would happen in the future.

First, regarding the demon who will build a massive gate to summon many demon beasts from another dimension where their Lord is trapped, in the Novel, this happens with the cooperation of the Lin Family because of Lin Fan, who still sided with them.

However, things have changed now, which would place the remaining two large families in the Chinese where the demon hid. But, because of their family's prestigious name and historical value, Viana couldn't act rashly toward them.

Viana, or rather everyone, couldn't just deliberately ask for a corporation in this case; she would just be deemed guilty of accusations, and Viana could be sentenced as a hypocrite—worse, the death penalty for bringing shame upon the family.

While skimming through the names of the participants in the dragon subjugation, Soma stopped in his tracks, prompting Viana to halt her steps and turn around, only to find his brows knitted in a frown.

"Mrs. Viana, this list? Is this true?".

Soma pulled the display of the terminal he received from Viana regarding the raid and pointed to the Akabane family's name on the lists.

"Yeah, they were chosen along with the other famous awakeners worldwide".

"How long did the raid begin?".

"The operation began not long after you left the confining room".

"?!". ('I can still make it!'.)

He knows well that the mission will lean toward failure as this event brought The chosen one, Leon, to the spotlight for the first time worldwide. Soma also worried about his parents-in-law, who were walking on a thin thread after being snatched from the death maw by him.

"Mrs. Viana, here!".

Without prompting for an explanation, Soma handed back the terminal as he hastened his pace. He walked through the opening door of an elevator and entered the grand hall, where people were buzzing while looking at the massive screen that was installed above the counter.

"Soma, where are you going?". Viana, who saw Soma walking briskly leaving her, asked in a panic, for there were still documents that had to be finished.

"Mrs. Viana, can you contact the Xiao family and inform my other family about my release? Also, tell Hina that I need her and the other help in this one, so come to the battlefield!"

"Hm, what are you saying?!".

"Waa?!"

A gasping shock echoed within the hall. It brought the attention back toward the screen, where they saw an ongoing raid that had turned to disaster after the dragon had undergone a transformation.

"...The dragon has changed? But how?".

Viana began to get overwhelmed by the tension in the room as her gaze couldn't leave the screen. Even from far away, Viana could clearly remember the shape and form of the dragon, but the current dragon had broken her mind for a moment.

'It's different?!'. Soma frowned while clenching both fists under.

This situation is more dangerous than any of the events he had experienced. The change that happened to the dragon was something he had never read or pictured in the Novel.

"I need to move right now!".

Ignoring the startled Viana, they began to reach her hand forward, trying to stop him. But the difference in stats forced her to see only the back of his students getting smaller into the distance before disappearing.

"...I need to contact them, but should I bring them toward a dangerous place just because Soma asked me?".

Viana scratches her hair, finding it complicated. While she was indecisive, Soma had equipped all of his gauntlets and boots and ran through the clouds, followed by a wind current.

"Please make it in time!".
