  First of all, to my lovely supporters from Patreon, who decided, for whatever reason, to honor me with their presence, often sharing kind words, comments and feedback, besides the obvious financial support. I love you all guys and girls! Even if I started writing just for fun, you are now partially my reason to keep improving further and further!

  And from that incredible, supporting family, I want to specifically mention my Living Legend backers—Moheebi3abc, Julian S., Alvzorin and Lynderyn; my EX rank backers—Michael S; and of course my S-rank backers—Magiwarrior, Soen Kigi, Fandley, Luiswu, Skyell, Dennis W., William J., Robert H., Fussel, Trenton S., SIDracon, James A. M., Rando C. and Daniel T. Especially you, Magiwarrior. You’ve been with me since pretty much the first month of my Patreon, silently watching over my stories basically from their first chapters. Godspeed to you man. Over two years and counting. Insane.

  Of course, I can’t forget another patron of mine—Termac. Since the day you’ve joined, you keep relentlessly pointing out mistakes in my chapters, release after release. I appreciate that so, so much. I hope this little mention will show at least a little bit of my gratitude.

  Moving off this long Patreon-train, I can’t not bring up my best friend—Peres. Even though I’m sure it’s annoying at times, I can always count on you when a random word that I need suddenly decides to escape my chaotic mind. Your help in catching it is very much appreciated.

  Last but not least, to all the readers that follow my works, and to You, who reached for this book. I can never fathom how thousands of people are following me on these various fantasy journeys. Thank You for giving this story a chance. Many of you might not be aware of how anxious an author can get about their own writing.

  Foreword

  Yo! Saileri here! Just wanted to throw in a few words before we dive into the book. Also, a huge thank you for deciding to give my novels a try!

  I have seen many people mentioning that it would be so nice to have a short summary of the story at the beginning of the volume and that’s exactly what I decided to include in my book. The section before Chapter 1 briefly summarizes the events of Volume 5, so if you are coming here straight after reading it, feel free to skip it without losing anything. For summary of Volumes 1-4, check the beginning of the earlier books again. If quite a few days have passed since you read my story, I hope this will help you refresh your memory. Of course, it won’t be as detailed as the book itself so I still recommend reliving the first volume completely ;)

  This story was written in the form of a web novel published on the Internet, which sometimes slightly differs in reading experience from what the usual books offer. Such stories are often long-going, with hundreds of relatively short chapters, and a similar situation takes place here.

  This book features three chapters containing adult-themed content and they are marked with a heart symbol in their titles. They can potentially be skipped without losing too much, besides some more insight into the characters, but some small details are still mentioned in some parts of such chapters.

  Also, as no one in the world, I’m not perfect, so if you happen to stumble on any mistakes, feel free to bash me on the head about them in my Discord server. There’s a dedicated channel for that there. I finally got myself an editor, but things can still escape our eyes, obviously.

  Without further ado, enjoy!

  Story So Far

  Beware! Spoilers from Volume 5!

  For Volume 1-4 summary, check Story So Far in the previous books!

  During their voyage through a stormy sea, Miria tripped and crashed right into Asterios. They fell towards a summoning gate, but instead of bouncing off the crimson surface, they went through it. It didn’t take them long to realize that they entered Miria’s world, which shouldn’t have been possible.

  After celebrating the occasion in Miria’s room, they met up with her parents and she introduced Asterios to her family and friends. Not all of them were happy about his presence but Asterios made sure put everyone who thought of disrespecting Miria in their place. When they returned to the ship, Selene brought Asterios into her world too and introduced him to her friends, including Lerisse and Ronye. Having a brief chat, they went back to the ship.

  Finally reaching the Demon Continent, Asterios jumped back to Welrond’s castle through Umbra’s shadows and transferred Silvia to them so that she could join in on their adventures as promised. Svertaniel informed them that he needed a bit of time to ask around for the information related to Grea’s father so Asterios decided to hold another summoning in the meanwhile.

  They visited the local Adventurer’s Guild in Ashen Barrel, registered Silvia as a member of their party, and received a brief rundown of good locations far from civilization from the extremely flirty demon receptionist, who clearly aimed to get quite close to Asterios. Naturally, Miria and Selene didn’t back down from the challenge and acted all snuggly with their beloved master, teasing her back.

  Reaching the chosen destination, they prepared everything that was necessary to host Blood Summoning, something suggested to them by Grea, and began the ritual. Unexpectedly, a female Dragon with red scales answered the call. She quickly showed ill intentions towards them and even threatened Miria and the others for speaking out of the line.

  Something flipped in Asterios and he suddenly got controlled by an unexplainable force. He suppressed the Dragon woman, and she noticed his second source, calling it a Dragon’s Heart. She struggled under the pressure of spiritual energy that Asterios emanated, trying to fight back against it. At least until she realized that the mana felt familiar and recognized the owner, starting to beg for her life.

  But, whoever it was, they didn’t intend to spare her life and made Asterios kill the woman by crushing her own Dragon’s Heart. Before he regained control of his body, a voice advised him to find the Descending Spire before challenging more Dragons.

  Grea blamed herself for putting Asterios and the girls in danger immediately after learning about the summoning. She was in such a horrible mental state that Asterios had to use Umbra to appear in her lab through the link created with her mind. He managed to calm Grea down before she hurt herself too badly, taking care of the light wounds she had caused herself before that.

  Even though the situation had been pretty dangerous, it had brought forth a few benefits for both As
terios and Silvia. While she meditated over the enlightenment gained during the battle with the female Dragon, he noticed that he could bring out a few more draconic features, making Miria ecstatic about the future prospects.

  They took a few days off to relax and also practice their newfound powers. On the fourth day, Asterios and his mates were walking around Selene’s realm. They met with Lerisse, who told them that she’d heard about the Descending Spire somewhere. She went with Selene to browse through the most secret archives of their tribe.

  While waiting for them to return, Asterios had a chance to speak with Ronye, who seemed to show a good change in character. They chatted briefly about her progress in martial arts until the other ladies came back. Lerisse sent Ronye back and brought them in front of a massive golden gate deep under the temple on top of the marble mountain. It depicted two figures, a True Dragon and a Nine-Tailed Fox.

  After a moment, they managed to unlock it with Asterios and Selene pressing their palms into the carved niches. Inside, they found a well-preserved underground complex that could easily serve as someone’s home. It turned out to belong to Kaguya as the storage room was filled with lost martial arts books.

  Asterios noticed a weird painting of a man which actually was a hidden entrance to a secret workshop where they found research notes on Summoning Magic and spiritual circuits made by Kaguya and someone named Red, Ast’s supposed father.

  The notes explained a lot about why and how Asterios could summon and contract humanoid races, pointing out his draconic origins even further. Learning how to properly form bonds with him as a True Dragon, Miria and Selene completed the full ritual which involved joining their bodies together under specific circumstances. They truly became mates on that day.

  Just with that, Selene advanced to the fifth stage, causing quite a commotion. They celebrated briefly and returned to Ast’s world, reuniting with Silvia. After talking a bit about their progress, they headed for another decent place for summoning to try a safer ritual this time. Everyone worked together on preparing the summoning circle and the necessary ingredients.

  A winged lady with golden hair and white armor answered Ast’s call. Her name was Bryn and she came from a destroyed world, where no men existed. The only entities similar in build to human males were the monsters that plagued the realm. After offering Bryn to provide supplies for the floating fortress in which she lived with other members of her race, she became his familiar.

  Shocking Bryn, they came with her to Heven, her world, and met with the Council overseeing the Aerial Refugee Keep named Tyr. Met with some initial hostility, Asterios still fulfilled his promise and established trade between the valkyrjas and his family.

  When they returned to Ashen Barrel and met up with Svertaniel, the demon man informed them about the location of Grea’s father and they used fast, giant centipedes to travel to the Tri-Valor Valley, the place where the Founders of the current Demon Kingdom had been buried. Svertaniel introduced them to many stories about those heroes, which Miria consumed with utter delight.

  After asking around the city, they were pointed towards the big funnel in the middle of the Tri-Valor Valley and found Grea’s father as the sole archeologist there. Grea joined them and they talked briefly about what they needed of him.

  During the conversation, Asterios revealed that he could use his draconic sight to see spiritual energy and was asked by Radir, Grea’s father, to look around the valley. He did so and spotted something under the sand. Bryn and Selene worked together to remove the thick layers of sandstone while Umbra transferred all the people out of the area so that they didn’t get harmed. Their efforts uncovered a complex formation spanning all over the valley.

  With the use of Ast’s sight, they solved the puzzle and a teleportation array brought them into a weird chamber with a massive gate. They found a niche for what looked like a scale and Asterios inserted the only one he had taken off the Golem in Teira, unlocking it.

  A set of difficult trials awaited them on the other side. In one, Asterios had to move through a board on a limited path, answering questions, proving his dedication, and fighting beasts. In another, they were all brought into an illusion of their perfect world, from which they had to escape. And finally, they faced a Golem made of gold, which was brought down by Ast’s and Silvia’s joint efforts.

  It turned out that the Golem protected another underground complex belonging to Red. They found research notes related to Sealing Magic and traces of the three founders living there alongside Ast’s father. Radir was overjoyed to go through all the books and scrolls.

  After calming down, Grea’s father took a peek at the Memory Seal in Ast’s mind and prepared a magical formation to try and take it down. He wasn’t able to remove it completely but managed to unlock a lost fragment of Ast’s memory.

  Watching it, Asterios learned that it was Red and Kaguya who brought him to Teira. Hiding him in one of the buildings, Red razed the entire village, sparing no one. Leaving Asterios in a burning house, they flew away and waited for the merchant convoy to reach the place. Kindra found him a moment later. The entire scene felt clearly orchestrated by his parents or guardians, whoever the two were.

  While they were discussing what he had seen, they mentioned the Descending Spire and Bryn revealed that it was located in her world, surprising everyone. They agreed that the mysterious structure, which turned out to be an important, sacred place for her race, was their only real lead. Asterios and the girls were sure that they had to pursue it to find out more, just like the voice in his head had told him.

  Before they left the hidden complex, they took a look around the vault they had found while Radir had been preparing the formation to deal with the seal. The girls picked some keepsakes and they used a teleportation array present in one of the chambers to return to the surface.

  While they somehow avoided any suspicion amongst the normal people for turning the middle of the Tri-Valor Valley into rubble, someone was clearly following Ast’s party as they walked through the streets. Svertaniel told everyone to follow him and the demon man led them to the back alley of some well-known pub, where Asterios called their stalkers out.

  No one answered his calls so Umbra yanked a few people out of the shadows and they learned that an elite squad answering to the local Governor had been ordered to bring them in. They listened to the request and met with Governor Rowena, an old friend of Radir. She reluctantly agreed to help them get an audience with the Demon King so that they could let him know what they had discovered regarding the Founders.

  Before that meeting took place, though, Asterios returned to Rosewind and attended Tina’s graduation ceremony, making quite an impressive entrance alongside Princess Silvia, who announced publicly that Tina had been invited to join the legendary Royal Division. Tina gave an inspiring speech about her motivations, praising him for all the support he had shown her, especially when he hadn’t been afraid to confront her with the silly decision she would have made otherwise. Perhaps not so much on an accident, she revealed that she was Ast’s fiancé.

  A traditional part of the ceremony was a showmatch between the top student, who was Tina, and one other chosen person who hailed from the academy. She, of course, challenged Asterios and they both did their best to show everyone what each other was capable of. In the end, Tina surrendered and made another speech, this time revealing all the atrocities that the board of directors had committed toward Asterios.

  Silvia promised to hold a proper investigation of the academy and the ceremony closed. People started returning home, including Asterios and the others. He brought out his wings and accompanied Tina and Silvia, who flew on the latter’s winged lion to the former’s mansion for the celebratory banquet.

  During the banquet, Tina snuck Asterios out and brought them to one of the empty rooms. After talking briefly about their feelings, they finally became one. Before returning to the banquet, Asterios brought Tina into Selene’s realm and they took a bath together while he revealed everything about his draconic bonds and how his mates could travel through the summoning gates. Tina urged him to tell Grea and he agreed that he would at a proper moment.
