Chapter 14: Chapter 13: Tiamat
"Lily, it's time to go"
I called for Lily who was packing extra clothings on her small bag.
"Why do you need to bring extra clothes, we're not going to stay their for long you know"
"Nonsense master, you always have to be ready for any circumstances"
She retorted while pointing her index finger at me before continuing packing clothes on her small shoulder bag.
"Done! Let's go master!"
Lily energetically said as she pulled me downstairs in the living room where the other girls were staying at.
"Hmm? Where is Kotori and Kurumi?"
"They're at the training room, they said they wanted to train their speed and control in using their angels"
Asia answered while feeding Ophis with cookies that she baked yesterday.
"I want one to, Onee-chan"
Flandre tugged on Asia's skirt while looking at her with her blood red eyes.
"Say ahh"
Asia smiled at her before placing a cookie in her mouth.
"Then we'll be going now, I'll bring back souvenirs for everyone after we're done"
I walked towards Asia giving her a kiss on her cheek before going back to Lily who was waiting at the side while using Hermes Boots to create a portal connecting to the underworld.
"Then please be careful"
Asia said as she waved her towards our direction while Ophis copied her actions with an expressionless face and waved her hand at us before continuing eating her snack.
[Blessing of the Dragon Tamer acquired]
[Blessing of the Dragon Tamer - Significantly increase affinity to dragons. Significantly increased chances of obtaining a pact with the dragons]
'what? I never knew she could do that'
"I want a kiss too"
Tobiichi ran at full speed and blocked my path while pointing at her lips, gesturing for me to kiss her at that area.
"Me too!"
Natsumi in her loli form ran towards me and hugged my back tightly.
"Request: Yuzuru wants a kiss as well" (Yuzuru)
"A-As a your twin, I'll test his kiss first for you, Yuzuru" (Kaguya)
"Question: Can't Kaguya just be more honest with her desires?" (Yuzuru)
"I-I-I have no idea w-what you're taking about Yuzuru" (Kaguya)
"What's a kiss? Does it taste delicious?" (Tohka)
"Well, it does" (Nia)
"Really?! I want one too, Lucias!" (Tohka)
"How bold of you, Tohka-san" (Yoshinon)
"K-k-kiss..." (Yoshino)
"Darling~" (Miku)
"Onii-chan! Me too!" (Flandre)
"Me too nya!" (Kuroka)
"Ara then I want one too" (Kurumi)
"Kurumi? I thought you were training?"
"She is training, I am nothing more than a clone"
"... Lily create another portal quick!"
"Understood!"
Lily who was watching everything unfold, woke up from her daze as she quickly created another portal. I quickly shook Natsumi off of me as I pulled Lily into the portal teleporting us to the familiar forest.
-In the familiar forest-
"I'm free!"
I shouted while standing in the middle of an unfamiliar forest.
"Master, you do know that they can follow us here with the help of Kuroka's or Hoshimiya's skill right?"
"I knew, that is why I made a deal with Hoshimiya yesterday to seal their powers with the exchange of me doing anything that she want for a day"
"It's a bit weird that Honjou didn't inform them about this"
"I would appreciate it if you don't jinx me Lily"
I said before taking out the map that I got from the quest before and walked towards the direction of the mark on the map.
"Master, we need to be careful or else we might get Tiamat's attention"
"Don't worry, its impossible that we a normal human and vampire would get-"
I confidently stated but was cut off by a loud roar coming from above us, as a large blue dragon landed in front of us.
"-Tiamat's attention"
"You... a human?"
The blue dragon spoke while looking down on us with its cold blue eyes, like she was observing something weird.
"Master, I thought we wouldn't attract its attention"
"I... have no idea how we gained its attention"
"Maybe it's because she sensed your ability? Just like how Ophis found you"
"..."
"Ability you say? Interesting. A human with a power that is connected and supported by the laws of the universe, truly interesting"
"See, I told you"
"..."
"Human, you're truly interesting, I can smell the scent of the Ouroboros Dragon clinging on your body along with the scent of the spirits sealed 1000 years ago. Truly fascinating"
"Master, did you take a shower before we left?"
"Of course I did"
I said while smelling my own body, trying to find the scent that Tiamat was talking about, but I smelled noting but the scent of the soap that I used a while ago.
"Master, what should we do?"
"I have no idea, should we just apologize to her for disturbing her?"
"Master, do you think she would just accept our apology?"
"... Lily create a portal now!"
I whispered to her as she created a portal back to the mansion and tried to jump inside but stopped when we both heard a voice of a woman shouting at us from behind.
"Wait! I didn't mean to scare you, please don't leave!"
Both of us turned around and saw a naked loli with long straight pale blue hair that reaches are hips running towards our direction.
"Master!"
Lily who saw her immediately reacted and stabbed my eyes with her fingers as she tried to block my sight from her naked body.
"... Its weird that I don't feel pain from this"
I said as I felt blood flow down my cheeks coming from the large hole in my eyes.
"W-what are you doing vampire?!"
"W-why are you naked?!"
Lily shouted at her while my eyes are quickly regenerating.
As my eyes regenerated, the first thing I saw is a naked little girl in front of me while Lily tried to pull her away from me.
"..."
I removed my shirt revealing my slightly mascular figure to the two lolis who were fighting in front of me.
Tiamat for some reason froze in her tracks before lowering her head down with a red face.
"U-uh... Y-you need to wait for us to get married first before we can do something like that!"
Tiamat screamed at me covering her small breast and garden with her arms as her soft cheeks blushed red.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
I asked confused from her reaction while Lily suddenly stripped off her clothing revealing her petite body before facing me with the same red face as Tiamat.
"M-master, if you want-"
"I think that both of you misunderstood my intentions"
I told them with a deadpan expression while I used my magic to cover Lily with her clothes that were placed on the ground.
"Here"
I threw my shirt at Tiamat as both of them finally understood my intentions causing them to blush in embarrassment while staring at the ground.
"D-Don't anything so misleading!" (Tiamat)
"I think you were the only one who thought like that"
"S-shut up!" (Tiamat)
"So? Why did you turn yourself into a little girl?"
"T-that is because I thought you that it would help me gain your trust if I turn myself in this form... Just like with Ophis"
"How did you know that?"
"You don't know? Great Red has been rampaging in this area, telling all the dragons in the familiar forest about the story of Ophis who lives together with you"
"..."
Tiamat started fidgeting that made it much harder for me to control myself from her appearance of wearing an slightly oversized T-Shirt that revealed her soft white thighs.
"I-I-I'm sorry for scaring you, I tried to be intimidating, but I was too stiff"
"A-and from the stories told by uh... her? You seem to be a respectable and caring figure... I want to request something from you!"
"I guess her description of the Great Red person as loud and annoying was right master"
"Then, Miss Tiamat-"
"Just call me Tia, Lucias-kun"
"Then, Tia, what request do you have? I'll help you depending on the difficulty of your request, I might help you"
"I-I want to be your familiar! I can't get out of this forest since those demons are pestering me to become their familiar every time I leave the familiar forest. I want to find someone and I need to leave this place, so please take me in!"
"Who are you finding?"
I curiously asked as she started releasing incredible amounts of killing intent that covered the entire forest before answering me.
"That thief, Ddrag! He borrowed my treasure but never returned it! I want to find him and take back my treasure, and maybe kill him in the process so please help me!"
"..."
"Please!"
"From the information I got, you're in a friendly relationship with one of the demon kings, Ajuka Beelzebub, why can't you just request it to him?"
"T-that is..."
She stuttered as she kept her head down.
'She's hiding something'
I thought while looking at her appearance, she is hiding a secret but I can say for sure that it isn't something that would harm them, if not Nia could've have told me about this secret of hers to give me more information to protect myself from her, but all Nia said was 'be careful not to disturb her'. One thing I know for sure is that she is hiding her true persona, and her true objective of trying to become my familiar.
"Let me talk with Lily first"
I pulled Lily far from her as we both got closer and started whispering to each other.
"What's your opinion on this?"
I asked Lily who was semi naked.
"I think that you should help her, Lucias, we have plenty of rooms in the castle and they are left unused, also look at her..."
Lily said before pointing at Tiamat who was looking at us with puppy eyes.
"... she's so cu- I mean so pitiful, and also I thought that you have a quest that involves gathering members for your faction. Why won't you just let her join master"
"... You do know that I am having a hard time trying to calm them down everyday right? Even with the help of Kotori"
"What do you expect? Most of our members are children, and the spirits even if they have a teenage body, they were sealed for centuries, they lack common sense in the modern world. Only Honjou is the one who is mature among the spirits since she can use her angel to study the norms of the modern society"
"I guess your right..."
"Then will you accept her?"
I glanced at her figure one more time before facing Lily and giving her my answer.
"Alright, she seem... trustable I guess?"
Lily and I then separated from each other as we made our way to Tiamat who was twirling her hair with her fingers.
"Fine, you can go with us"
"Really?!"
"Yeah, I guess another dragon wouldn't hurt"
"T-then please! Bind me as your familiar"
"How?"
"I-I guess you wouldn't know since your a human child"
Tiamat muttered before taking my arm and placing it on her chest.
"To explain it in simple terms, you must pour your mana into mine and I'll bind my own into your mana to create a connection between us since mana is directly connected to the soul of an individual, by binding our mana, I can bind my soul to yours"
She started to explain as I followed her instructions and poured my mana in her chest without breaking it's connection to my own circuit like what I do when I cast a spell.
When casting a spell, I form the mana like how I form a clay to take my desired state or shape while injecting an attribute into it before breaking off its connection to my mana circuit, causing it to permanently stay in that form as it is launched or casted towards its target/s.
Healing spells or diagnostic spells that Asia cast is quite different since she need to keep the connection so she could continue to supply more mana into the spell, while send information about the target back to her to inform her about the state of the target's body. So basically contract spells is quite similar to what Asia was doing, the only difference is that it's permanent since both parties have to bind their mana circuit together, it also have a secret function of giving the other party their own attribute in magic for the other party to use, but this goes unnoticed since none really have any deep knowledge regarding contract magic, except for Honjou who told me about this.
After the connection between our mana circuits have been formed, her chest lit up for a few seconds before returning back to its normal state.

Chains of notifications popped up inside my head causing me to go in a daze as I read each and every new information given to me.
"... Lucias are you alright? I feel something... different about you, I just can't put my finger on it"
Lily waved her hand in front of my face to wake me up from my daze.
"Nothing, I was just thinking about something"
"..."
Lily who didn't buy my excuse continued to stare at me with suspicion while Tiamat was surprised from my aura.
"Hmm... From my years of living in this world I never once saw any being inherit the traits of their familiar when they form their familiar Contract with a dragon"
Tiamat muttered under her breath but due to our enhanced senses we can still here her words.
"So you inherit her power's master?"
"Well, not really since most of them are sealed"
"How unfortunate"
"I am not a dragon after all, those are racial skills, so I can't use them"
I said disappointedly, the requirements are hard to obtain, but maybe I can get some from the Dragon Instant Dungeon, the only problem is all beings their are at least as strong as Miku Izayoi. We're still not ready to enter that kind of dungeon, except for Tobiichi, Mukuro, Tohka, and Kotori. They can put up a fight in that Dungeon.
"Oh yeah, do you also want to form a higher contract with me, Lily?"
"A higher contract?"
"Yeah, our contract right now is a Master-Servant contract, I can form an equal contract between us"
"I don't want an equal contract master, I want a familiar Contract too!"
"..why?"
"If it's an equal contract that means that if I die you die too, I don't want that, master"
"...Are you sure?"
"I am sure, master"
Lily answered me resolutely while Tiamat was happily day dreaming at the side.
"Fine..."
I sighed before giving up and forming a familiar contract between us. At least it's a bit better than a Master-Servant Contract where the other party is considered as an object.

"Thank you, master!"
Lily smiled brightly as she gave a set of her clothes to Tiamat who wore nothing but my T-shirt.
"Tiamat, want to come with us? I have something to do around this parts"
I asked Tiamat who was wearing her clothes while Lily assisted her.
"Sure!"
"We'll go after-"
I stopped when I noticed an old man wearing a cap peaking on top of a tree, staring intently towards Tiamat's direction.
"..."
I silently froze the ground below me, freezing everything as it spreads except for Tiamat and Lily.
The tree where the old man was hiding was frozen solid along with him as his body fell down on the tree.
"It's Zatouji" Tiamat who saw the man said while pointing at the frozen body of the boot leg version of Ash Ketchum.
"Who?"
"Zatouji, the familiar master of this forest. Maybe, he was alerted about my presence so he came to take a look"
"So he isn't a pervert?"
"I... don't know actually"
"Tch, I'm just going to leave him like that, the ice will melt eventually since it wasn't a high leveled ice spell"
"Master, let's go already, we don't want to arrive home late or else Asia would be angry at us"
"Alright"
"Wait for me!"
The three of us, leaving the frozen body of Zatouji, went towards the area marked by the map.
We arrived at a large worn out building covered in chains as it tried to keep the place from collapsing all together. The entire building was covered by a layer of red ice, an ice which Lucias himself wasn't familiar with.
I placed my hand on the gate and slowly pushed it open, causing a loud screeching noise to echo throughout the building as a ridiculously cold air swept past the 3.
"Master... It's so cold here"
"How come I didn't know about this place?"
Lily and Tiamat muttered while hugging each other to keep themselves warm.
[Skill: Cold Resistance acquired]
[Skill: Cold Nullification acquired]
"You girls can stay outside to guard the place, I'll go alone since I can withstand the temperature inside"
I said before leaving the two shivering lolis behind as I entered the gate of the frosty building.
