Chapter 457 – Dong? Tribe (7)

Give it a name. Isn’t that quite a weighty statement?

It is the act of defining something and giving it meaning. It’s natural to think about it seriously.

… But when I look at those blue eyes sparkling with anticipation, why do I feel playful?

Pure white body and blue eyes? This is a completely blue-eyed white dragon…

“Hmm.”

I erased the truth about a certain card game that came to mind for a moment and thought about it seriously again.

Well, as expected, the name came from H&A easily here. Perhaps it would be okay to give it the name it gave itself?

“What about Chrome Chromena?”

[… How do you know the name I was thinking of?!]

The guy gets scared and rolls up again. But after a while, he slowly raised his head and shook it gently.

[Ugh. It’s a name I came up with, so it’s my preference, but… It’s been a long time since my godfather built it for me, but it’s like I’m building it alone.]

“Uhm. “Are you asking me to give you the name you want to give me?”

[Yes yes!]

The way he nods his head hastily looks like a big dog. … However, you can’t call it a retriever.

“Wait a minute. “I’ll have to think about it.”

Now that it’s like this, I’ll have to hope my naming sense works out well. Let’s see. First of all, when it comes to mite hatchlings, Yongyong is the rule.

“Yongyong…”

[Tsk.]

As his expression suddenly darkened, he naturally changed his words.

“It’s a bit like that, isn’t it? First of all, since I said she has a feminine body, Yongsuni…”

[…]

“I’m kidding! Joke!”

So, don’t just lose focus from your wide-open eyes. It’s scary.

I sighed lightly and searched through Fafnir’s memories once again. Since he is an ancient dragon, he must have had children, so he may have some know-how on naming them…

… No. Yongyong asked that she name me, not herself or Fafnir.

Following Fafnir’s method here would not be a very good choice. So, I tried to think of a plausible name.

Alduin, Pathanax, Jormungand, Quellebre, Crow Cruach, Ammurtar, Creme Brûlée…

I tried a bunch of dragon-like names that I thought I had heard of somewhere, but none of them were names that suited the hatchling in front of me.

After thinking for a while, she cautiously opened her mouth.

“Elaina…”

[?]

“Realm Levius.”

[Oh oh?]

“Together, Elaina Realm Levius. How is it? “Isn’t this okay?”

[I don’t know what it means, but I like it because it’s long and cool!]

“Good. Then it’s decided. “Just sit there quietly.”

[Yes!]

The guy who quietly squats in front of me. Placing her hands on the smooth scales of her head, she focused her attention.

It was already in a state of acceptance and was overflowing with power, but this was not enough.

Exciting-

My heart, recognizing my intentions, beats more violently and scatters mana around me. As if I were going to dye this entire area with my colors.

Sensitive mana affinity allowed him to recognize everything that entered the area, and solid control made most things done with mana possible.

Although it is an extremely limited and narrow area, the feeling of exaltation as if you have reached omnipotence in an instant.

In that state, I slowly opened my mouth. By putting power in the words themselves, not in formulas or orders.

[I, Yandel Lindelheit, who inherited the blood of Fafnir, would like to welcome a new clan here. Her name is Elaina Realm Levius. She will be born in the darkest place and become a child who will see all the light in the world.]

Ugh-

As I solemnly concluded my words, all the mana around me began to resonate in response to my will.

At first, it was just a ringing in my eardrums, but it got louder and louder, and soon it became assimilated into the space itself and was crying.

This is a kind of declaration. A declaration announcing Elaina’s existence to the world.

Just like carving letters out of stone with a chisel, enormous magical power and will carve out the world. Although it cannot reach the level of great magic that changes reality, its level of difficulty far surpasses that of most high-level magic.

But with me now, it is possible.

He generously pours out magical power that is close to the limit of mortality, and sharpens his mind beyond that.

And so, the moment when Elaina’s name was finally engraved, albeit faintly.

Hwaaaaa!

I realized this when I saw the magic light emanating from the Hechling’s huge body. That the name I engraved was engraved in Elayna’s soul.

Feeling relieved that I had succeeded and feeling exhausted from consuming too much magical power, I collapsed on the floor and let out the breath I had been holding.

“Whoa…”

Elayna quietly crouched down and focused even as she one-shotted the mana potion she had taken out for the first time in quite a while.

By the time I emptied a few more bottles of potion and regained some of my magic power. The light leaking from Elayna’s body gradually faded.

… And Elaina’s body also began to shrink.

“To.”

A phenomenon that cannot be understood even after searching through H&A’s knowledge and Fafnir’s memories. For a moment, I tensed up and watched Elaina, wondering if something was wrong.

I was prepared to intervene immediately if anything went a little strange… To conclude, it was a useless thing.

Elayna’s body not only became smaller, but also took on a human form.

“This is how it goes.”

If the name’s power was a hidden special trait known only to dragons or a few people, on the other hand, there was one widely known special trait like Dragon Heart.

This is the case with Polymorph, who is credited with turning dragons into human beings.

General transformation magic involves changing part of the body. For example, making your ears pointy like an elf’s, or making your hands strong like those of a monster.

Any more than that may cause problems with self-awareness, causing mana reflux, and even if you somehow succeed, your power will inevitably be limited.

It’s only natural that she has to constantly change her self-awareness and pay attention to maintaining her magic.

But dragons are different. Even after reducing its huge body to human form, it retains most of its strength except for physical abilities, and can return to its original body at any time without any burden.

Among races that look similar to each other, such as humans, elves, dwarves, and beastmen, it can be said that it is thanks to polymorphs that dragons that look completely different have given birth to many mixed races.

However, since even dragons don’t know the principles of polymorph, I just thought that it was something that any dragon could do… Actually, you had to get a name to do it.

This is a fact that neither I nor Fafnir knew, as there had never been a dragon left unnamed for this long.

Take a moment to relax and look at the polymorph scene in a leisurely manner. For some reason, the light coming from Elayna’s body completely disappeared even though she had not completely changed yet.

“… “Is it because I’m still young?”

It cannot completely change into a human form, and like my dragon painting, it has horns, wings, and a tail.

No, if you look closely, you can see that there are a few scales on the cheeks.

Elayna, who had changed into the form of a dragon rather than a human or a dragon, slowly opened her eyes.

Blue eyes with vertically slit pupils. However, perhaps because it was round overall, it did not feel very threatening.

Elaina herself must have been embarrassed by the sudden polymorph, and she looked down at her body and clenched and unclenched her hands to assess her situation, and then she carefully stood up.

“Tsk.”

Elayna’s whole body revealed like that.

Is her height similar to Iris? Her shiny white hair hung down to just before touching the floor, and her dragon-like features, such as horns and wings, were cutely sized to match her frame.

However, other parts of her body were not cute at all, so although she was not compared to other women, she looked like she was expected to grow in many ways.

… Well, she transformed right out of Dragon Form, so it’s only natural that she’s naked.

He quickly took out a suitable robe and draped it over Elayna’s body.

“Ah. Thank you, godfather. “It was a little cold, but now it’s a little warm.”

“Because the human body has no scales. “But even if it’s warm, you still have to wear clothes.”

“Why?”

“Why…”

Elaina’s innocent eyes, completely unaware of the world, blinked.

“… Someone else will tell you later when you get home. “Now we have to check the restrictions first.”

“Oh! Yes!”

After saying that, Elaina frowned as if concentrating.

With a step she was not yet accustomed to, she toddled over and stood at the entrance to the cave. The moment Elaina took a deep breath, closed her eyes and took a step forward.

Crooked.

“Huh!”

Perhaps because of her tail, her center of gravity collapsed and she fell forward.

“Yes… Sick…”

“As I said before, the human body is weak. “Just like with the dragon, if you hit it, it’ll hurt.”

“Hmph.”

Elaina was stroking her forehead with her own with one hand, as if she was pouting a little, and with her other hand she was hugging her tail, which was tucked between her legs.

Is this what happens when I change my habits as a dragon into human form?

She smiled and brushed the dust off Elaina’s body. She then asked in a low voice.

“So? “How do you feel about coming out?”

“Yes?”

Only then did Elaina realize that she fell and came out of the cave. She was shocked and confused for a moment, but then she realized that she didn’t feel any restrictions, and she looked relieved.

Elaina mustered up her courage and walked a little further forward. A beautiful scenery unfolds before her.

“Wow…”

Clear sky and a few floating clouds. The sun shone dazzlingly, and the earth seen from the mountain peak was revealed.

“…”

At first she had been admiring Elaina, but now she was just blankly opening her mouth.

Do it. It must have been surprising for her to see the outdoors for the first time after living in a cave all her life.

She gently brushed Elaina’s horn with her index finger and opened her mouth.

“Did I tell you? I will teach you the wonders of this world. “This current scene is just the beginning.”

“Ah.”

“I should go to better places, eat delicious things, and enjoy fun things. … What? “It will be after the remaining evil spirits have been defeated.”

“… That’s enough. “Is this feeling enough to make me risk my life?”

“I told you to rest assured that your life will not be in danger… By the way, should we go look for the other kids soon? “If possible, I want to finish before the sun sets today.”

“Uh… “I’m not sure, so I’ll do whatever my godfather tells me to do.”

“I see. Then come here and take her hand, Elele Leya. “Go to the teleport.”

“Uh, um. “Isn’t my name Elayna Realm Levius?”

“That’s right. So, Elele for short. Is not it cute?”

“… “Kaaaaa!”

Elele cried. But Elele was not transparent, so nothing happened.
