Reincarnated as an Alchemist - If i have no cheat then, i just have to make one

Chapter 18 part 6 - Searching for the Way Home (2)

I watched the other scouts flew away. Eris looked back at me before she transformed into her dragon form. Her blood coloured scales looked shiny as it reflected the sunlight. She sighed and flew away by leaving a strong gust behind.

As for the reason of her sigh, it wasn't because of our decision to leave but the idiot who was being held by Noden and Lisha, Nova. He was suddenly wanted to go with Eris when she transformed. Noden and I managed to suppress him somehow and Eris had to return to her human form to convince him.

"Well, i guess its also my turn to transform."

I said. I walked towards an empty space and concentrated my mana into my whole body. I closed my eyes to focus my mind as well as to suppress my dark attributes and preventing my body transformed into the dark version of my dragon form by accident.

Throb!!

Throb!!

My body felt some surges of power as it throbbed over and over. I snuck a peek at my surrounding. Everything seemed getting smaller at quick pace.

By the time my transformation ended, everything looked very small. Even Noden who was taller than me, now was looked like a 10 cm tall doll.

I could see that my remaining companions were dumbfounded by my size and form except for my daughter who was looked very excited seeing my dragon form.

"Then, I'm off."

I said as i spread my wings. I flapped my wings several times and slowly my body was lifted from the ground. I looked at my mini map. Even it only covered a very limited area, it widened by several times. I could detect that the green dot was moving away at high speed.

I flew straight to it's position but it moved away as if to avoid me. I increased my speed to pursue it. After chasing it for few minutes, it stopped moving. I quickly headed to it's location and tried to pinpoint it from the sky.

I squinted my eyes when i saw a figure wearing a black robe. The face of the figure was hidden under the hood and I also can't feel any presence from it.

"Please pull back your hostility, O Great Chaos Emperor Dragon."

It said.  The voice sounded like mechanical sound and it had a unique feeling.

"Who art thou, stranger? Why did thou spy on my kin? Depending on thy answer, I might make you regret for being born."

I said. It was my first time speaking in this form. No wonder if Asvi disliked speaking in this form. It was quite difficult to gain a proper pressure to the throat so that only voice came out without getting the mana chamber got ignited and created a breath attack.

"Please forgive my rudeness, O Great Chaos Emperor Dragon. I have no wish to offend you."

It said.

"I won't put down my guard against someone who just spied on my kin and didn't show his face despite talking directly."

I said. The figure was taken aback by my words. It reached for its hood and revealed the face hidden under it. A woman with slanted eyes and pale skin was shown underneath of the hood. It had smooth skin yet her hair was looked withered and whitening already.

"Pardon for my late introduction. My name is Norn Ultimecia. This one's the disciple of Priestess of Time, Alvis-sama."

She said.

"Hou... Interesting. Why would such disciple spied on my kin?"

I asked with lowered hostility.

"A-A-Actually, Alvis-sama hand sent me here to deliver a message to the Exalted Chaos Emperor Dragon."

She said. I frowned after hearing it.

"Message is it? Say what kind of message is it? Another prophecy?"

I asked.

"Prophecy or not is irrelevant. This one is just a messenger. As for the content of the message is just pieces of advices and warnings for the choices you're going to take."

She said.

"I see... Say it. What did that Priestess want from me."

I said.

"The first choice will full with blood. Your darkness will grow at tremendous speed and you will lose something important on the way. This path however will bring forth a hope with the price of you being hated by all beings."

She said.

"The second path will be full of tears. You will lose a lot of things you hold dear in exchange of world peace. You will deemed as a hero and a symbol of fear for eternity. And as a reward, you can go back to the place where your soul used to belong."

"The third option is full with hatred but in the end nobody will bother you and the people you deemed precious. You will stand on the top and those you hold dear will be with you for eternity till your final rest."

"And the last is the path you decide without take any advice or options of Alvis-sama. Your group will get new encounters and farewells along your journey as you grew. But, that path will cause more people to suffer and you will regret for taking this choice in the end."

"So, which path will you choose?"

She asked with strange grin on her face.

"The first choice will guide you to your homeland, the second one lead you to your missing family, the third will lead you to the path of kingship as the last lead you to be a saviour."

She added.

"Whatever you said, I've decided. My choice will be-"

I said without any second thought.
