Chapter 10 - The Journey Begins!

In a snowy landscape that looks like somethings beyond mythical. There are towering mountains made of pure ice, as far as one could see. Even the trees looked to have undergone some sort of mutation also, on the trees there weren't any leaves, but pure ice crystals!!! And in the middle of this beautiful landscape, one could see A man face to face with a snow-white wolf. 

The man standing face to face with towering wolf, he was no ordinary man. He looked like some untouched divine god!!! Black hair that flowed down to his shoulders that seemed to be darker than the void itself, well, that would be correct if weren't for the silver streaks that seemed to be mixed perfectly with such darkness. A face sculpted like it didn't belong to this world at all. His eyes seemed to hold the very mysteries of the universe! Simply Divine!!!

After Akasha opened his final gift pack, he decided it was time to grow stronger, and what better way to do that if not speedrunning dungeons? 'Since I have infinite mana, things should be pretty easy for me after some time' he thought while grinning at the snow-white wolf in front of him.

The wolf was at least 3 times the size of a horse that one would see on earth. Yes, this wolf was absolutely massive!! It had fur that seemed to a perfect blend for the surrounding environment, it had light blue eyes and fangs that seemed way too large for a wolf.

'Hey Luna, I know I am probably asking this a bit too late now.... but do you have a weapon?' He thought internally as he was certain Luna was still listening to his inner dialogues. 

[~Fufufu~ looks like you got too excited about your new adventure that you forgot about some basic things.] Luna spoke while chuckling at the look Akasha was making. 

[Yes, I have plenty weapons, but you won't receive them for now at least. Since you are new to combat and all of this fantasy stuff, it would be wise if you mastered close hand-to-hand combat before picking up a weapon. And plus, you are literally a Dragon, what's the need for a weapon?]

"Haha well, fuck it" Akasha laughed while clenching his fist. He silently activated his 'Eyes of Origin'. Once he activated it, some sort of invisible shift happened on the vast field, like ringing a bell....

Both man and wolf moved almost simultaneously

Akasha launched forward leaving a small crack on the ground where he last stood. He met the wolf head-to-head! 

BOOOMMMMM!

No abilities, no skills, no weapons only pure strength. Normally one would expect Akasha to be a bit scared or at least awkward while fighting, right? Oh, no what kind of bullshit expectation is that?!!!

Although Akasha has never been in a real life and death fight, where he had strength to actually fight back. The bloodline running throughout his body right now is no joke!!! He's not just some run of the mill old dragon, no, he's 'THEE DRAGON'!!! Since the first time Akasha laid eyes on this towering wolf, he felt the overwhelming urge to make it submit! 

Now locked in his first fight in this wonderful new realm, Akasha, he could be seen with eerily similar maddening smile. After activating his eye ability everything but his prey was tuned completely out. He could see everything he wanted to, every micro movement the wolf made, every time the wolf wanted to use its high agility, Akasha would always be one step ahead.

After the first initial class both wolf and dragon were bounced back several meters. Akasha standing still with the same maddening smile, had blood-soaked hands and scars across his body that were healing at visible speed. The wolf was doing any better though, its fangs dripping in blood that was as black as the night. Its body was battered but it was still standing tall and domineering, but this time its eyes held something different in them.

Fear? No not fear, but it was the same look some give when they've just encountered the most glorious meal of their life!!! YES, LIKE A PREDATOR STALKING ITS PREY!!! After having a taste of Akasha's blood, it felt something it never felt ever before, and it wanted more.... no ALL OF IT!

Seeing the gaze of the wolf, Akasha, he grew utter pissed off. 'HAHAHA SOME FUCKING MUTT HAS THE AUDACITY TO LOOK AT ME LIKE FOOD?!!!! ME? THE DRAGON OF ALL DRAGONS?!!!' It was as if something clicked in that moment, his aura, it changed.

If at first, he had an aura that felt wild and untamed then now? It felt... Ancient and Bestial. His eyes that were always everchanging suddenly stopped and in them, one could see pure and utter darkness. He had no pupils; his entire eye was pitch black! Until suddenly one could see a pure white slit admis the darkness in his eyes. They glowed viscously waiting to strike and then he spoke in voice that was a stark contrast from his usual nonchalance.

"YOU FUCKING MUTT.... YOUR ENTIRE KIND WILL BE OBLITERATED BY ME!! HOW DARE YOU LOOK AT ME WITH SUCH EYES!!!!" 

"HALF-DRAGON TRANSFORMATION"

"DIE YOU FUCKING MUTT!" Akasha roared as he launched himself at speeds that should be impossible for someone at rank F! 

From the moment the wolf looked at Akasha with eyes of greed, it was over. Already cowering in front such an overwhelming presence the wolf felt as if it was looking at the king of all beasts! And before it could even try to flee... Akasha moved

And.... 

BOOOOOOOOOOM 

In one punch the wolf exploded into a mist of blood. OBLITERATED!!!!
