Targaryen Who Turned Dragon

Aerion sped away from the flame vein and looked around for a safe place first. Turns out that quite a handful of Flame God Realm disciples and masters were watching a live stream of the battle from a safe distance. Aerion easily found them with his divine sense since such a cl.u.s.ter of auras was very hard to miss. He used the World Teleportation Portal to instantly teleport there. Mu Xuanyin was slowly carving up the ancient horned dragon and victory seemed almost certain. However, Aerion knew better.

He calmed himself before speaking "Sect Masters Yan and Huo, I have urgent news!"

"Eh, what could be more urgent than the hunt of the ancient horned dragon?" Yan Wancang brushed away the matter almost immediately.

"Two ancient horned dragons... there's two of them!"

"What did he say?" A Golden Crow disciple mumbled. "Maybe the heat is getting to him..."

"Two? That is plainly ridiculous. If there were two, we would already know about it. " Yan Juehai stated.

Aerion sighed, the situation wasn't looking great. "I explored the very depths of the God Burying Inferno Prison... I wonder, did anyone in the Flame God Realm achieve that before? What I saw was two lairs... for two ancient horned dragons! My Master needs to be aware of this immediately so that she may escape a grim fate..."

"The very depths? Hahahaha, what nonsense!" Huo Rulie laughed.

"A Divine Soul Realm disciple going deeper than a Divine Sovereign Realm Sect Master... he must be deranged to spout drivel like that!"

"Heh, he is no more than a delusional clown."

Aerion let go of Izanami and Robb. "You two should get a bit further away. I'll be back soon..."

He turned his attention to the battle between the ancient horned dragon and Snow Song Realm King while the Sect Masters irritated him with their meaningless words. It is true that knowledge of another ancient horned dragon will force Mu Xuanyin to keep her guard which would be an advantage to the current ancient horned dragon. Being aware of something that doesn't exist will, no doubt, lead to Mu Xuanyin losing complete focus and perhaps even losing the battle... that is how the Sect Masters of the Flame God Realm saw this situation.

This left Aerion with no other choice but to inform his Mu Xuanyin himself.

"Eh, kiddo, are you even listening!?" Yan Wancang called out to Aerion.

"Loud and clear... this King's opinion of you all has changed, ever so slightly. I see you all as fools who cannot accept the truth. If there are two, then this hunt will surely fail. You won't gain a single hair of the ancient horned dragon and the Snow Song Realm King is unlikely to assist ever again. This King cannot convince you that this scenario is reality... because it is far too unsatisfactory." Aerion bluntly announced. "However, I don't remember needing to convince anyone!"

"I will inform my Master of the existence of two ancient horned dragons... even if I must go through all of you!"

Izanagi.

World Teleportation Portal... get me close enough.

"Sure thing."

Just like that, he vanished from the sights of everyone else. Yan Juehai planned to restrain him but he couldn't even move a muscle before he disappeared. "Where did he go!?"

The spectators couldn't even find a trace of him... until he appeared in the Vermilion Bird's Will Projection made by Yan Wancang.

"H... how... how is that even possible!?" Yan Wancang couldn't believe it. There were very few things in this world which could travel that fast. In a mere moment, he had crossed ten thousand kilometres! Even the Vanishing Moon Celestial Palace would pale in comparison to how quickly he crossed into the God Burying Inferno Prison... Aerion couldn't care less, however, since he wouldn't be able to make it in time without using it.

Aerion looked up and met the ancient horned dragon's gaze. He felt no fear towards the dragon... however, he soon realised that this was the Divine Master Realm ancient horned dragon. Up close, it seemed small... Rhaegal was at least five times the size of it!

This tiny dragon can kill me with ease... huh. Wait... why am I this close!? I asked for close enough, not this close!

"Hahaha..." Aerion let out a laugh. "You wouldn't dare touch this King... would you? I'll have you know that I'm part dragon, killing me would make you a kinslayer... you don't want to be known as a kinslayer, it's a terrible fate."

The ancient horned dragon laughed before grasping his body with its right hand. Its grasp slowly tightened. The dragon looked at Mu Xuanyin."You, what does this human mean to you?"

"He means nothing to me." Mu Xuanyin replied in a cold tone.

"Oh? Do you think I'll just let him go now... do you take me for a fool!? Go on, I dare you to strike me once more... I'll take his life the moment you try!"

"..."

"See, I thought so. Now I want you to fly back to wherever you came from and leave this dragon in peace. This boy here will remain as my prisoner until this dragon decides otherwise!"

The dragon turned me into a hostage... how humiliating. If I use the World Teleportation portal now, the ancient horned dragon would just teleport with me.

"Master... there are two... MASTER!!!"

ROOAAAAAAR.

BOOOOOM.

Another ancient horned dragon erupted towards Mu Xuanyin. She was caught completely off-guard because of the current situation... the last thing on her mind was another ancient horned dragon coming from behind. She was thinking of how to drag Aerion out of his current position, after all.

Aerion's face turned pale as he watched his Master endure a frightening blow from the other ancient horned dragon. Its tail had struck Mu Xuanyin full force, sending her flying further away. The ancient horned dragon holding him captive let go and joined in on the battle. The two ancient horned dragons mercilessly rained down waves upon waves of fire.

Aerion helplessly watched, not moving a single muscle... his mind had gone completely blank.

Once Mu Xuanyin emerged, she wasn't far from death's doors. Her entire body was covered in her own blood, from head to toe. Her scattered, messy, hair had lost its snow-white tone and returned to black. However, the glow in her eyes suggested that she wouldn't even attempt to run... far from it.

The fire from the God Burying Inferno Prison seemed to shift in shape as Aerion lost himself in their dance. The faces which laid deep in his memories seemed to appear in these flames...

Father... Mother... Grandfather... Grandmother... brother... sister... they are all... dead.

No... she won't... join them... I...

I won't allow it!

Suddenly, his eyes started to burn with fury. He wiped the tears off his face and took a step forward. The Sky Poison Pearl's mark started to glow as he released its deadly poison onto the surrounding area. They all caught the poison, the injured ancient horned dragon started to fall while Mu Xuanyin died. Aerion, once again, used Izanagi to reject reality.

Mu Xuanyin rose in perfect condition... the ancient horned dragon who was better off stared at Aerion Targaryen, its eyes burning with hatred. It flew to him, ignoring Mu Xuanyin completely, and struck a life-ending blow with its fire. The ancient horned dragon had then sent him flying downwards, into the God Burying Inferno Prison. He used Izanagi once more and the ancient horned dragon, naturally, wanted to strike him again. Mu Xuanyin managed to protect him... mostly. But the dragon's poison from both its breath and blood got to him.

"Hahaha... cough... at least... he is as good... as... dead..." The ancient horned dragon laughed before Mu Xuanyin ended its pitiful existence.

Aerion spits out a mouthful of blood. "What... a... miserable...way... to... die. I'd rather... it be... in a legendary... battle. I thought... that all dragons... were on my... side... how naive..." Aerion chuckled at his own pitiful situation. However, he wasn't willing to die yet.

The ancient dragon's poison started to burn him from the inside. A Divine Sovereign Realm cultivator could fall to this poison in due time... he couldn't do anything since he was, at most, in the Divine Spirit Realm. All he could do is wait for his own death... if he didn't have the Sky Poison Pearl, that is!

Izanagi-No-Okami.

His eyes fully recovered as he focused on his own body. The flames of the God Burying Inferno Prison supported him by filling him with new energy and ensuring that he would not meet a quick end. He managed to swiftly cure to the ancient horned dragon's poison... however, suddenly, a different kind of flame lit his body. The blood of the ancient horned dragon wasn't exactly poison, it was more of an aphrodisiac which meant that the Sky Poison Pearl could not cure it.

"So you cured the ancient horned dragon's poison... as expected." Her tone was warmer than before, it would seem that a huge weight was lifted off her shoulder. After all, she couldn't bear to see him die... even if it looked otherwise on the outside.

His eyes met Mu Xuanyin and suddenly the flames of d.e.s.i.r.e rose thousands of times, a Divine Master would struggle against it... let alone Aerion Targaryen, who wasn't even in the Divine Tribulation Realm! The blood wasn't in the least diluted, either, it was the real thing...

What... is happening... to me?

The ancient horned dragon's blood was thriving in Aerion's body and he soon lost control. He was completely hopeless in this situation. A different Aerion Targaryen emerged from his struggles. One that was fully influenced by the ancient horned dragon's flame.

"Master... I need... a small... favour..."
