After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up Chapter 38.2
Shi An had a terrible nightmare.
He dreamed that he woke up one day and suddenly turned into a human with weak limbs. Not only did he lose his original huge and mighty body, but he couldn’t even go back to the abyss. The most terrifying thing was that when he returned to his cave, it was empty and all the treasures were gone! !
Shi An was startled awake.
It was black all around him, and he was wrapped in something warm and cozy. A good smell filled his nose, like the smell of a snowy forest, herbal yet cooling. The darkness gave him a comfortable sense of security that made him drowsy again.
Great, it was a dream.
He yawned, his eyelids drooping slightly.
“My liege! You are finally awake!”
A familiar, somewhat noisy voice rang in his ears.
Shi An frowned, turned over, and buried his head in the pillow, trying to block out the sound.
However, the noisy voice went to the other side and continued to screech, “My liege? My liege?”
Shi An opened his eyes irritably.
A beetle the size of a fingernail stood on the pillow in front of him. It had six thin legs and an ugly human face. It was smiling flatteringly at him at the moment.
Shi An: “…”
In that instant, all the memories flooded back to his mind.
So… it was not a dream.
Those terrible things actually happened! !
The demon insect saw that the expression of the young man in front of him suddenly darkened. His eyes lost focus, and his whole body seemed to immediately fall into the abyss of despair and sadness and was dyed with a dull color.
It was startled by Shi An.
Demon insect: “…”
Although it knew that it was not as dazzling as that terrifying human being Mu Heng, at least Shi An could save it some face!
Was it so disappointing at first sight!
As if escaping from reality, Shi An slowly closed his eyes.
Wouldn’t everything be back to the way it was if he got some more sleep?
The noisy voice of the demon insect sounded again, “My liege, I saw your eyes open, you must be awake…”
“…”
Shi An suddenly opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, stretched out his hand to grab the demon insect, and said viciously, “Do you want to die!”
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and turned his head around the room.
“Eh?”
Shi An was stunned, “Where is this place?”
The demon insect struggled and kicked its legs futilely, “Shi Manor!”
Shi An: “…Huh?”
He blinked and realized that he was now in the main house of the Shi manor, but the room he was inhabiting had been cleaned up beyond its original state of disuse.
Shi An looked around blankly, “Why am I here?”
The demon insect looked at Shi An sadly, “Do you know how long you have for?”
Shi An: “…I don’t know.”
The demon insect broke free from the other’s stiff fingers, spread out its wings, and fluttered to Shi An’s ear. It said sadly, “Well, school starts tomorrow.”
Shi An’s eyes widened.
“You, are you kidding?”
The demon worm shook his head solemnly.
Shi An: “…”
He didn’t get the elves’ treasure and was frozen for two days. Now, he’s even losing out on the chance to play video games? Was this whole trip a waste?
Suddenly, Shi An seemed to have suddenly thought of something!
At least it wasn’t for nothing this time!
He hurriedly closed his eyes and felt the power in his body.
– After each molting period, dragons entered a period of weakness for a long time.
To make matters worse, this period of weakness would get longer the more times they molted.
Therefore, most dragons would eat their precious molts to regain some power.
This was Shi An’s fourth molt.
He probably remained trapped in this human form for so long because he was missing this crucial step.
Shi An patiently absorbed one of the remaining light spots in his body.
He felt a familiar energy rising warmly from his limbs—his strength was slowly recovering.
Although there was still around seventy percent of those light spots left, Shi An already had a mysterious premonition.
He felt that his body was slowly changing. His soft human skin was replaced by indestructible scales, the wings and dragon horns were pushing out little by little, and his majestic exoskeleton gradually appeared.
Shi An opened his red vertical pupils.
The soul imprisoned in the human body finally got its most suitable shell, and the comfort of returning to his original shape spread from the tips of his claws to the roots of his wings.
He blinked in disbelief, looking down at his paws.
He really changed back? ?
The dry voice of the demon insect sounded, “My liege?”
What was wrong? Could it be that it was petrified by his huge and majestic body?
Shi An turned his head to look in the direction from which the voice came.
Shi An: “…”
He tilted his head in confusion, “How did you get so big?”
The corner of the insect’s mouth twitched, “No, my liege, my body has not changed.”
In the distance, dim moonlight poured in from the window, illuminating half the room.
A dragon the size of a palm perched on the soft bed. Its scales shone in the moonlight, its small claws were curled under the round belly, and its pair of red vertical pupils blinked, seemingly at a loss to his current situation.
“Er…you’ve become smaller.”
