Targaryen Who Turned Dragon

Chapter 49 - Dark Future.

A wall of flames surrounded Aerion, the image of the Crimson Dragon appearing behind him. Crimson and Silver scales appeared all around his body. Wings made of pure fire sprouted from his back. The fire transformed into real, Dragon wings. The outline was made of silver scales while the inside was crimson flesh. His transformation continued as he grew two horns and a crimson tail which had a silver spike at the very end. Both of his eyes glowed red with fury and blood-l.u.s.t. He looked straight up

It was at this moment, the Heavenly Fire Demon knew he was in for a SEVERE beating.

"..."

Aerion exploded towards the Heavenly Fire Demon before he could even react. He impaled the Demon with his claws and kicked the Demon down. Aerion dived towards the Demon and grabbed the Demon's head before he could land. Once they reached the ground, Aerion continuously smashed the Demon's head against the hard ground.

"I... yield."

Aerion didn't respond as he continued to beat down on the broken Demon. He grabbed him by his long hair and sent him flying into the sky. Then he charged an extremely powerful Crimson Demon Wave which was being charged by both of his hands, horns and wings. He was going to release the Crimson Demon Wave which could easily kill weak Monarchs, but he didn't. He regained control of himself and absorbed the Crimson Demon Wave. The Demon landed at his feet seconds later.

"You didn't kill me...?"

"No, I have decided to spare you."

"Why...?"

Aerion's voice was cold and authoritative as he answered the Heavenly Fire Demon's question. " Because you will serve me from this day forth... until your very last breath."

The Heavenly Fire Demon quickly recovered and bent his knee. "You are the one and only person who has defeated me and gained my respect... I will do as you wish from this day forward, until my very last breath."

Aerion's scales fell, his horns disappeared, his wings reignited and the fire faded, his tail retracted and he fell to the ground.

The next thing Aerion saw was flames... a Dragon Dream? He thought.

The flames began to form a fortress, where a decisive battle was taking place. Thousands of cultivators, both young and old, fought against each other. Three different armies fought against one. The battle was clearly one-sided, the green-robed army could barely hold up despite their far superior weaponry, they were outnumbered by a large amount. Then, when the battle was just about to end, the green-robed army gained hope. A silver-haired figure appeared. He finished off most of the opposition of the green-robed army with just a few strikes and then he moved on to the alliance's leader.

"Rotias... today is the day I make you suffer."

Aerion had a long clash with the powerful leader who was supposedly possessed by Rotias. Their battle shook both the Earth and Heavens. But in the end, Aerion won but his victory came at a great cost... he lost his eyesight. A green-robed man approached the weakened Aerion. His eyes glowed dark green and a grin surfaced on his rather average face.

"Wentian...?"

"Thank you for helping me become the Overlord, Aerion."

He stabbed Aerion and killed him. Then Aerion saw Rotias conquer, burn and destroy everything in the Profound Sky Continent. Then he saw the whole world and everyone he knew burn... and he couldn't do anything about it.

~

Aerion jolted as if he'd seen a nightmare. Then, after realising everything was fine, he calmed down and his heavy breathing began to lighten. Instantly, Aerion began analysing the scene which had been shown to him. Green robes... Wentian... Heavenly Mighty Sword Region? Xuanyuan Wentian!?

Three Sacred Grounds against one, the one I joined. Perhaps Rotias had dominated the other Three and the Sword Region was my last option. Which meant that Rotias had declared war and I began to arm the Sword Region with stronger swords. Then... in the very end, I was betrayed by Xuanyuan Wentian. This is very, very troubling, Aerion thought.

All Four Sacred Grounds against me... which means most of the world was against me.

"What does one do when the world is against them?" Aerion asked Jasmine as he was seeking an answer. Jasmine was sleeping... again. Aerion sighed as he laid back on the bed. Then the Heavenly Fire Demon appeared before him and answered the simple question.

"What does one do when the world is against them, you ask? You deny the world for what it is and bend it to your will!"

"Such wise words..."

Aerion made sure to take note. Deny the world... that is what I'll do. I won't let Rotias conquer and burn this world, no matter how many people he possesses! Still, even if I don't join the Sword Region, Rotias will take over the Sacred Grounds one way or another. I must prepare... and become stronger.

Aerion stood up, his determination to get stronger was never more apparent. He had a duty to get as strong as possible and prevent the dark future that was shown by the Dragon Dream from ever happening.

Aerion left his icy room and walked out, the Heavenly Fire Demon returned to Aerion's inner world. He saw Izanami at his door.

"Oh, I was about to knock."

"Izanami... I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what...?"

Aerion looked at her, his eyes filled with both anger and sadness at the same time. He saw the vision again, the whole world and his only relatives burning while Rotias laughing like he was having the time of his life. That was the reason why he was angry, the reason why he was sad was that he couldn't be with Izanami. Unless... she goes with him. But that was an outcome he didn't see happening.

"I... must go."

The Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace was strong but it wasn't his home, his place was with the Noble Rogue Sect. Although the Noble Rogue Sect was weaker, it had a higher potential. He could get personal, harder missions through the Grandmaster himself. The Noble Rogue Sect gathers tons of information every day, there must be some evil that is far stronger than the Noble Rogue Sect and only Aerion himself could handle it. He could also become a Master and boost the Sect's strength. 'Could'... no... it was his duty to do so, for he's the future Grandmaster.

"Where... where do you have to go?"

"Back to the Noble Rogue Sect."

"Then I'm coming with you."

"...You can't..."

"I will."

Aerion sighed, this was going to be difficult. How would Tai Xia and Tai Wentian react...

~

Aerion had spent a few days in the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. Most of the time had been spent meditating and hunting in the dungeon but he did spend some time with Izanami. He tried to convince her not to come with him as he might cause problems for her in the future but he couldn't change her mind. Nothing can stop Izanami when she wants to do something. Izanami asked the Palace Master and her temporary leave was permitted.

"Give me your hand." Aerion finally said

"How charming of you to ask."

"Ahh, yes, forgive me. Will you give me your hand?"

"Of course."

Aerion held hands with Izanami and they flew towards the Noble Rogue Sect. It was slightly more tiring flying another person but Aerion managed to keep a good pace. He didn't go directly to the Noble Rogue Sect, he wanted to settle matters with a certain evil Sect first.

"What's with the rush, anyway?"

"I saw a vision, one I wish I didn't see."

"And you want to prevent it from happening?"

"Of course."

"Usually, trying to prevent a vision causes it to happen."

Aerion let those heart-piercing words sink in and then he reluctantly shook his head.

"Usually, not always... not this time."

~

It only took two days to arrive at the gates of the Infernal Demon Sect. Aerion explained why they were going there and what he was going to do. The Demon King had humiliated him so badly when he was weak, now it was time for him to humiliate the Demon King. Not only that, it was time for the sinful Sect to perish and never be seen again.

BANG.

Aerion smashed the gates open.

"Izanami, stay back."

"HOW DARE YOU SMASH OUR PRECIOUS GATE? WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?"

"Jun Long."

*SLASH*

In a mere instant, the elder lost his head.

"I'm not staying back," Izanami replied

Aerion rolled his eyes. "Heavenly Fire Demon, take care of her."

"As you wish."

A dozen Infernal Demon Sect members approached. Aerion drew Sky Piercer and began to slaughter every single Infernal Demon Sect member he could see. Aerion could've used one large attack and destroyed the entire Sect but he thought about the victims of the Sect. What if there were some innocent civilians who had been forcefully brought here? So, he exterminated the Sect the old-fashioned way. He began to kill Infernal Demon Sect members, one by one. The Heavenly Fire Demon's job was to protect Izanami which led to him needing to kill a few of them as well.

Aerion was slowly making his way to the centre of the Sect, looking for the Demon King.

"COME OUT, YOU DAMN COWARD. YOU DARE CALL YOURSELF DEMON KING WHEN YOU'RE AFRAID OF ME, A DISCIPLE!?"

At last, the Demon King arrived and faced Aerion.

"You... it's you, you're courting death!"

"No, not this time." Aerion smiled.

*SLASH*

Aerion cut off one of the Demon King's arms before he could even react, the difference in strength was simply too much.

"Ho... how did you get so strong!?"

"I can't believe that you, an old bag of trash actually defeated me once... I'm truly ashamed of myself. Still, I was a mere novice so your victory doesn't really count. Nor does it matter now, for you are going to die."

Star God's Broken Shadow.

Aerion impaled the Demon King, Xiao Li, with Sky Piercer and kicked him to the floor.

"Who's laughing now?"

"AHHHH."

"I ASKED who's laughing now!?"

The Demon King tried to grab his sword but Aerion kicked it away.

"This is the end for you, wretched creature, no matter how hard you try to resist."

Aerion took out Sky Piercer and purified its glorious blade with his profound energy. Then he put it back into his spatial ring and opened his palm. A ball of black and red fire started to rapidly grow in size.

"I hope you find yourself facing the worst the Seven Hells has to offer in the afterlife..."

CRIMSON DEMON WAVE.

Aerion finished off the Infernal Demon Sect's members and rescued every victim he could find, though there weren't that many, they were very grateful for his efforts. Then he moved onto the vault and cleared it once again. He had encountered a large number of Earth Profound cultivators in the massacre but it mattered nought, they were only ants to him.

Now, there was only one thing left to do. He told Izanami to get out of the way as he charged up an Earth Decimating Tornado. He made the tornado go all around the sect, breaking every single building.

~

"You will be my key to conquering this world and I shall be your key to the Divine Way you wanted to reach so much... all you have to do is submit to me, Huangji Wuyu."

"The Divine Way, you can help me reach it?"

"Yes..."

The Saint Emperor thought about it for a while and then he decided against it.

"No, I won't accept an offer from the Devil."

"Is that so? Then I will find a powerful Monarch who will. After reaching the Divine Way in the Monarch's body, I will destroy you and your precious little region! But... I'd prefer that Monarch would be you. Don't be a fool, we can benefit each other! Don't you want to stand on the very top of the Sky Profound Continent, as its undisputed Overlord!?"

"Yes... but I-"

"You can't even decide for yourself, allow me to make it easier for you!"

Rotias left the body of the elder he had possessed and forced his way into the Saint Emperor. Huangji Wuyu resisted Rotias quite well at first, but Rotias was relentless. It took him a very long time, but the Saint Emperor finally gave in. His eyes turned dark green and he grinned.

"I never thought a mere mortal could resist me for so long, very impressive."
