"It's now or never!" Dilan shouted.
He was in front of the Red Dragon's left eye, pulling back the azure spear, and was ready to pierce the drilling spear blade deep inside the eyeball of the monsters that didn't want to succumb to him.
Meanwhile, the Soul Space was hovering in front of his chest. It was dice-sized and golden in color.
The Red Dragon was fully focused on the Soul Space for a second, and it recalled making use of its blazing flames way too late.
Dilan's body was shrouded in blazing flames and it was only a matter of time before he would be incinerated.
However, that was exactly what motivated Dilan to go all out.
He thrust the rotating azure spear forward while ignoring the pain that spread through his entire being.
The azure spear shot forward and it was just about to pierce deep inside the huge eyeball of the Red Dragon when the voice of the dragon resounded in his mind.
[Are you sure that you can make me the strongest?]
The Red Dragon sounded hesitant as if it didn't want to believe what Dilan had said before.
Dilan looked at the Dragon's reptilian eyes through the blazing flames and he could easily see the unwillingness to succumb within them.
'Looks like this one is hard to tame. As expected of a proud Mythical creature that is unwilling to acknowledge it has been defeated!' Dilan thought with a bright smile on his face as he slowed down his thrust.
There were only millimeters between the tip of the azure spear and the huge Dragon eye when Dilan finally stopped his hand from moving further.
"You really dislike losing, don't you?" Dilan asked with a grin as he was burning like a torch.
The Red Dragon saw this clearly and an involuntary shudder went through the Mythical creature's entire body.
How was it possible for the human to stay so calm and composed while being literally on fire?
[I never lose!!] The Red Dragon thundered and Dilan just nodded his head.
"Alright then. If you never lose that's fine with me, just bind yourself to my Soul Space and become one with me!" He stated in a clear imposing voice once again.
[A mere human dares to speak to me like this?! Are you tired of living?] The Dragon roared out.
"This mere human can kill you whenever he wants to. I think you are the one tired of living if you are still speaking like that!" Dilan countered.
He didn't have much time left to goof around and he felt like the Red Dragon knew that very well which was why the creature was stalling time.
That was also why he slashed at the Red Dragon's eyebrow, cutting it through very easily.
"I'm a Tier-2 Ascender and I'm strong enough to defeat a Mid Tier-4 Mythical creature that devoured the Divinity Fragment of the Basic Sun Temple. I think you know very well what I'm capable of!" Dilan explained rather simply.
It was quite obvious that he could defeat the Red Dragon if he wanted to but it was even clearer that he was the one with the upper hand rather than the Red Dragon that was tens of times his height.
[I didn't go all out yet! You are not worthy of witnessing my true powers!] The Red Dragon thundered, just for Dilan to interrupt.
"It's not like you don't want to show me your true powers but more that you cannot do that yet!" Dilan corrected before he pushed the dice-sized Soul Space toward the center of the Red Dragon's head.
It was the area where the Dragon's Essence Crystal was located and Dilan was prepared to push the Soul Space all the way inside.
Realizing the threat, the Red Dragon roared out threateningly, just for Dilan to release all his killing intent at the same time.
"Fuck it. You have one chance! Accept the bond and become stronger with me or die and become my nourishment!! I don't have much time to waste…" Dilan was annoyed and he tightened his hold further on the azure spear to pierce it inside the creature's thick skull at any moment.
The Red Dragon went deathly still and it looked deep into the now crimson eyes of the disfigured body of Dilan just to start growling.
The Mythical creature was having an internal conflict but that was something Dilan didn't bother about anymore.
He activated [Undying] once again before he shoved the Soul Space inside the head of the Red Dragon.
There was no need to be bothered about saving the creature's life because it was do or die. His time was running out!
The Dragon continued to growl but the Soul Space was already inside her, leaving an imprint on the Red Dragon's Essence Crystal to turn the monster into one of Dilan's loyal existences.
He showed no mercy and created the imprint on the Red Dragon's Essence Crystal.
This took him longer than expected and Dilan could clearly feel that he would get reduced to a sack of meat and bones.
His right arm looked like charcoal by now and he could clearly feel that the rest of his body would soon follow suit.
However, it was just before anything worse could happen that the situation changed in its entirety.
The lava-like scales of the Red Dragon reverted back to their original red color, the oppressive authority of the Red Dragon was retracted and Dilan was freed.
In response, he stopped utilizing most of his stat amplifying abilities.
He only left [Undying] fully utilized, draining his mana.
A soothing feeling spread through his body and it was only a matter of time before his condition began improving, making him feel a lot better than before.
He was still standing on top of the Red Dragon's snout, but there was no killing intent radiating from him anymore.
He smiled lightly because he felt the raging emotions of the monster erupting within him and instinctively knew that his new ability's effect had worked out even better than expected.
Soul Space was a unique ability that required three passive ability spots to be occupied. At the first glance, one would think that the ability was not that powerful but Dilan could tell that it was worth far more than three passive ability slots.
Being an ability that grew with the strength of the user, Soul Space would grow into something very interesting for Dilan to use.
"Seems like you've accepted me. That was a good decision…and your only way to survive," Dilan spoke in the human language, just for the Red Dragon to start growling.
[You bastard!!] She lashed out at him, growling menacingly as her maw opened wide to snap Dilan's neck.
However, at the mere thought of attacking him, the Red Dragon began roaring out in massive pain.
[What did you do to me?!?] The Red Dragon shouted once again but Dilan didn't focus on her anger anymore.
He could feel the Dragon's anger spreading through his entire being, so there was no need to actively worsen the situation by provoking her.
It would only make things more annoying.
"You accepted the Soul Imprint, I didn't do anything except shove the Soul Space deep inside you. And I think you know what that means!" Dilan began to smile brightly.
The situation was to his liking even though endless pain spread through him.
However, because he had finally been able to subdue a mighty beast such as the Red Dragon, the pain was more than acceptable!
