Drakengard: Demonic Flower [Demons Souls X Drakengard 3 Crossover]

Chapter 3 - Draconic Surprise

"Greetings human." The dragon in front of me said.

Excellent, there are more talking dragons! Since when can dragons talk? Every dragon I have encountered has tried to burn me alive, or in the Dragon God's case, turn me into a stain on the ground with a punch.

"What do you want?" I replied, assuming a fighting stance.

"Why the lack of courtesy? I believe you humans greet each other before interacting." The dragon mocked, circling me while I followed its steps, always keeping it in sight.

"Sorry, but I'm not used to talking dragons." I said, making the dragon tilt its head confused.

"And why is that?" The dragon asked with amusement and curiosity in its voice. Was this conversation just a means of entertainment for it?

"All the dragons I encountered before were nothing but beasts; they burned and devoured everything they came across."

"So you've never really met a dragon." The dragon responded irritated.

"Let's get straight to the point! Why are you here?" I demanded.

"Good question, why am I here? Maybe I am hungry and found an appetizer? Maybe I am bored and I am looking for something to entertain me? Or maybe..." The dragon paused.

"Maybe?" I asked hesitantly, fearing the answer.

"Maybe most of the magic-sensing beings in Midgard and I felt a great power source appear out of nowhere. Perhaps this power source exudes the scent of something ancient and powerful. Perhaps if I devour this power source I will reach a level that no dragon has ever reached."

The dragon said giving me an imitation of a smile as its physiology prevented it from performing such an expression correctly, displaying all of its razor-sharp teeth.

"My scent, what do you mean by that?"

Does this dragon want to devour me? I need more information, let us see if I can make it talk more.

"As I said before, you have the scent of something ancient and powerful, something demonic. Are you one of God's creations? I do not think so, your scent, the scent of the Watchers, and that flower are different, but similar in a way. Both are creations of a higher being, made to destroy the world, but somehow you got that power for yourself." The dragon then stopped in front of me and approached.

"I've fought God's creations, did you know? You humans call them angels or demons, but we dragon's call them puppets. God also created us dragons, but we rebelled against it, as it wanted our total obedience. As if, we, members of the proud dragon race, would ever debase ourselves! The power you possess, I want it! Give it to me!" The dragon demanded.

"Don't think it will be easy. I don't intend to give it up without a fight." I said, placing the Adjudicator's Shield on my back, its enchantment still in effect.

"HAHAHA! I would not expect it to be otherwise, we black dragons are the greatest warriors of our race. I would be disappointed if you surrendered without challenging me!"

With a mighty roar, the black dragon charged towards me.

The Intoner known as Zero had recently attacked Cathedral City. Fortunately, One and her sisters repelled Zero away, but the events were not over, as a fight happened near Cathedral City, a fight between a Black Dragon and a Slayer of Demons.

"RROOOAAARRR!" The Black Dragon roared, charging toward Edric while trying to bite his upper torso to split him in two.

The knight rolled to the right, dodging the bite, then swung his Dragon Bone Smasher towards the dragon's jaw. Upon seeing this, the dragon raised its head, allowing the blow to pass under its chin.
