Million World Game

He had another thing coming if he thought that I was going to hand this skill back to him. I'd already decided that I would give it to Royal.

"Hurry up!" He snapped at me, and I pinched the bridge of my nose, feeling a headache.

"Shut up, you pipsqueak!" Envy snapped, from his position on the ground, a goofy smile on his face as he looked at the Dragon, I think I should stop punching him. He enjoys it way too much...

"You disgusting, m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic pig, how dare you talk to me like that?" Igna snapped at Envy and I just s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath.

It all happened in a matter of seconds, Envy had moved with killer speed. I could see the shift in his eyes, they flashed with murder, as he brought a knife down between the Igna's tail and straight down and through the pillow.

"Heh," he chuckled and Igna was shivering a few expressions crossed over the petite Dragon's face at that moment.

The girl, Lulu, looked on with a mixture of awe and fear. I just shook my head falling down onto Royal's body, he curled into a chair and supported me as I watched the drama unfold.

Envy retracted his death grip on the knife and stood up, looking down at the pitifully small Dragon. I honestly felt bad for Igna, he'd barked up the wrong tree this time.

"I'll flay off your wings again," Envy growled as he looked down at Igna, half of his face was covered by the mask, but the part that I could see was twisted up into a grimace of a smile. I think that was a new face for Envy, I thought to myself from my seat.

He was so temperamental that most of the time, I thought it better to just leave him alone and let him sort it. Even if he did end up torturing Igna, it wouldn't be as if I'd be last damage. It would probably take a bit of time to heal, but that wasn't too bad.

Although, I needed to keep the little Dragon around while I was here. Least I bring about the wrath of this tribe of bone people. Biting my lip, I decided that I would save him from Igna.

"Envy! Leave the Dragon alone, you know his pride is just hurt from being beaten. There is no need, to demoralize him further, what will you do if I can't use him in the future?" I ask with a glare in his direction.

His head turned to look at me, and I could see the deliberation in his jade green eyes, I simply stared back at him. To a certain extent, I could control him, although, I'd never been put in a position where he'd directly threatened me.

This could turn out bad...

He turned his head away from me and looked back at the Dragon that was still sitting silently on the pillow. An aura of bloody hatred swirled around Envy for a fraction of a second, before it vanished into thin air.

Looks like he was really pissed, he turned away and went towards one of the dividers and fell into the pillows and fur.

"Don't think about doing anything, pipsqueak or I'll flay you," his voice was like an eerie whisper as he closed his bloodthirsty green eyes and quieted down. I don't think I'd ever seen him sulk like this, before. My eyes lingered on him for a moment, but I closed them and moved them towards the Dragon.

"Lulu, was it?" I asked turning my attention to the girl that was sitting on her b.u.t.t at the front of the door. Her ears twitched slightly as she looked at me, with those lighting blue eyes of hers.

"Y-yes," she stuttered slightly as she quickly bowed her head, and I smiled a bit. This was refreshing, the only other females that I had the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e of interacting with were all sly and a bit on the scary side.

She was refreshing, a youth sheltered from the world.

"You don't have to act like that," I tell her softly as I stand up from Royal his body slowly unwinds from around me. I step forward and bend down placing a hand on the girl's shoulder.

She looks up at me and I felt my heart thump, she had a cute doe-eyed look to her. A confused expression filters its way onto her face.

"Ah, think of me as a friend, rather than a Mistress," I tell her moving my hand to rub her head. She smiles at me and rubs her head against my hand!

She was too adorable... was she perhaps, a bit dumb too? I wondered as I kept petting her head. Her tail was fl.i.c.k.i.n.g every which way, as she pressed closer towards me.

But another question I had, was just how had an alligator given birth to a fox? It just didn't seem like it was a possibility.

My brain was trying to understand that at the moment, I kept petting her, but I couldn't come up with an answer to that question.

"Right," I mutter to myself and I cease my petting of her and sit back cross-legged. Coughing, I flex my hand and to the side of me, a giant treasure c.h.e.s.t appears along with a couple lose items. A skill book and a pair of swords made out of bone.

The giant treasure c.h.e.s.t leaks a sinister aura, of malice and bloodl.u.s.t. I smile, there had to be something important in that c.h.e.s.t.

Reaching a hand out, I grab the skill book. It's a book that bound in a bone cover, with a skull of a human on the front of the book. When I pick it up the sunken eyes cavities of the skull glow a bright red.

[Unable to absorb the skill 'Polymorph' unsuitable for the player]

I sigh, looks like the Dragon had been telling the truth after all. A shame, but not a complete loss. After the notification appeared, the burning red eye socket dimmed back to black. Turning I toss the book to Royal, who caught it in his mouth.

He makes a hissing sound before, he nods his head and swallowed the book.

I felt my eye twitch, was that how a snake consumed a skill? But before, it could get lodged in his throat, a burning bright red emanated from his throat before the bulge of the book vanished.

[Summoned Pet Royal wishes to learn the skill 'Polymorph']

Another notification appeared.

[Player has accepted, one moment as the skill is consumed and transferred to designated pet]

Royal's whole body was encapsulated, in burning bright light. I placed a hand over my eye and waited for the blinding light to dim down a bit. After about thirty seconds, the blinding red glare of the transfer ended.

[Transfer complete, Royal has gained a new skill 'Polymorph']

[Polymorph: A special skill obtained only on worlds, or areas that are inhabited by advanced species of monsters. Obtained through the slaying of a supremely powerful monster, feed to another monster and allow them to take either a full or semi-human form.

The skill is evolvable, the longer a monster maintains this form the easier and more human they can come across as.]

I glanced at Envy and I felt my jaw go slack.

"You have to be joking," I laughed as I looked at him, er... her, I wasn't really sure at this point.
