With such strong power, I managed to easily push a giant dragon away.


    <Don''t talk like this is all the power you can get. This is nothing but the start.>(Devouring monster)


    So I''ll keep on growing?


    <Yes. But be warned, you just spent most of your mana to parry that attack.>(Devouring monster)


    WAIT WHAT?!


    <Yeah, this power spends a lot of mana. You still haven''t eaten any intelligent, mana-rich creatures so your mana is basically the one you were born with. Don''t be afraid, your mana is very high for a human.>(Devouring monster)


    THAT MEANS NOTHING IF MY STRONGEST POWER IS UNUSABLE WITH THIS AMOUNT OF MANA!!


    <Why don''t you try using wind or fire magic. This is a forest dragon, fire magic is especially effective. Oh, wait... nevermind. His scales counteract that.>(Devouring monster)


    How do you know?


    <Appraisal?>(Devouring monster)


    And how do you have it?


    <You ate someone with it and as I kept checking everything with it, it slowly upgraded.>(Devouring monster)


    But I only ate animals my whole life...


    <Yeah... No. You ate a few demons in the past and not only that, one of the rabbits that you hunted, roasted and ate on the spot was actually a reincarnated human.>(Devouring monster)


    I feel like puking now...


    <Don''t. The dragon will kill us if you puke.>(Devouring monster)


    He''ll kill us anyway... Can I use appraisal too?


    <Not for now. We are still not completely fused back even though the making of that "God Eater Sword" helped a lot. You have a really good naming sense by the way.>(Devouring monster)


    Shut up...


    <Oh right. The dragon is coming. Be careful, your life is my life.>(Devouring monster)


    Yeah, thanks for that... I think.


    After discussing with the monster inside of me, I looked the dragon in the eyes. This green dragon looks really majestic and probably strong enough to destroy a human army on its own.


    <Oh and he has a few weaknesses. One of them is still fire. Once you get through the scales, he is very vulnerable to fire. Other than that, he has no scales on his eyes, nose... genitals, and anus... so good luck with that. I''ll be sleeping so I won''t have to see that.>(Devouring monster)


    Seriously? AT A MOMENT LIKE THIS?! Not only do I have to actually castrate a dragon, I won''t even get to use my power?!


    <You can still use my power to a certain extent. Remember that we are partially fused already.I''m going to sleep now. I don''t want to have a nightmare because of this...>(Devouring monster)Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.


    After I completely lost contact with the devouring monster, the dragon looks at me and then at the girl. Then back at me. Then back at the girl. Then he looked at my sword and shivered. Then back at me who was running towards him. He seems confused by me parrying the previous attack and takes a step back instead of confidently attacking me in return.


    Once I get close enough, I swing my sword with all my might and hit the dragon''s leg. Even though the dragon''s balance was affected, my sword took much more damage than him. My sword was instantly chipped and the dragon didn''t even have a scratch. After noticing such a thing I step back. Those scales are really tough... I won''t be able to do anything to them at all... I guess I''ll really have to go for the unprotected zones... Please don''t make me resort to the last two...


    The Green dragon lost no time and as I took that step back, he took two forward and attacked me with his claws. This time, I''ll just evade them. I don''t have all that power anymore so I can''t take risks. Meanwhile, the sword regenerated somehow...


    <That''s the special effect from the seed and sap from that tree.*Goes back to sleep(Apparently)*>(Devouring monster)


    Well that''s... convenient. to say the least.


    I dodge his claw attack and start running up his arm. Once near its nose, I swing my blade with everything I have. But of course, a giant dragon wouldn''t be that easy. He spits blue flames at me. IT BURNS LIKE HELL!!


    <Yeah, some nature creatures that are related to swamps have the power of the will''o''wisp. Be careful.>(Devouring monster)


    That would be a nice information to have BEFORE I GOT BURNED. You can pretend to sleep again.


    <Oh, Yeah.*Pretends to sleep again*>


    The dragon slashed with his claws again. This time I barely made it because most of my left leg is burned to a crisp and I can barely move it. I got slashed by one of the claws. I''m bleeding now, great...


    I looked at the dragon as life started to fade from my eyes, along with the blood flowing from that large cut on my torso. The dragon is now looking at the girl... I''m gonna eat this fucking lizard...


    <Do it.>(Devouring monster)


    I start running in the dragon''s direction.


    Once I see the dragon throwing his claws at me again, I started spinning my whole body. Once the Claws were close, I hit the tip of the sword in the ground and use that momentum to get out of harm''s way and keep running forward. I pass through the gap between his front legs and go directly for the genitals. I start spinning again and use that spinning momentum to cleanly cut his genitals off.


    <Tittle acquired: Dragon Castrator>


    He screams in agony and falls to the ground with me under. luckily I could somehow get out in time.


    I proceed to do something I would never think I''d do... I put my hand inside the dragon''s anus and pray to whatever god that is watching me that what I''m about to do works. I imagine a large amount of fire coming out of my hand and try to turn that into a spell.


    Right when the dragon was finally getting up, I managed to succeed and a large explosion occurred inside the dragon''s anus.


    After the dragon struggled for a bit, the smell of cooked meat indicated my victory. All his scales fell off as well...


    <Tittle acquired: Dragon Slayer>


    I won... I killed a dragon!


    <Don''t be so proud. It was disgusting and using disgusting methods.>(Devouring monster)


    SHUT UP! I WON!


    Now... I''ll have a giant lizard feast...


    <Wash your hands first please...>(Devouring monster)


    After somehow eating most of the dragon, I look at the girl who is still sleeping in the same spot. I better take her somewhere safe...


    I put the girl on my back and head the same way that I came...


    After putting her on my back and start walking, she moves slightly.Is she waking up? For a few seconds, she moved as if looking around.


    <Title acquired: ????? ????? ???>


    After that, she held onto me with a bit more strength than before and stopped moving again. She''s probably really tired to not even say anything after seeing a stranger carrying her...


    But seriously... WHAT ARE THOSE TITLES?! The dragon slayer one is understandable but... Is that "Dragon castrator" title really needed?! And what kind of title is that incomprehensible gibberish?!


    <I will only say one thing for each of them so pay attention. You killed a dragon. You are disgusting. You still can''t know what that title is.>(Devouring monster)


    WHAT?!


    <No more answers.>(Devouring monster)


    But what can it be?


    <...*intense silence*>(Devouring monster)


    Seriously what is that crap...?


    With such thought in mind, I keep walking towards the meeting point of the expedition with a sleeping beauty, a bunch of dragon scales and a few mushrooms that were growing on the dragon''s back.
