[Charles POV]
A few days later, I got a call from Agnus. Lately, he has been busy and hasn't had ti to talk to anyone.
"Yo Agnus!"
"Sorry, I have been busy. How's Celestial been doing?"
"Well... There were so minor problems, but I have dealt with them. Also, I got an evil elder dragon corpse. I would like your help with this matter."
"..."
He was silent when I ntioned the corpse. Agnus himself was a dragon, so an evil dragon should be disgusting.
"What would you like help with?"
"I want you to synthesize with it."
"Synthesize? Are you crazy? Do you know what those things could do to your mind? Not to ntion it's an elder version of their kind?"
Agnus nagged for my crazy ideas. While it was crazy in the eyes of others, I had too many skills related to evil. I won't lie to myself and say I wasn't power-hungry, but knowing that most people could crush was unpleasant.
I had all the power I needed on Earth, but this wasn't Earth. The officers here could take into custody with ease. Besides, I carry this white orb on the whole ti. It has helped trendously for the past few months.
"My head will be fine. I have sothing that will allow to resist the corruption from the dragon."
Convincing Agnus was hard. Even if his favorability toward were high, it would be almost impossible to convince him with safety concerns in his mind.
"Sorry, but I can't allow that."
A few days ago, I argued with a person nad Linda. And I don't want to do this with Agnus. Should I beg him? That was the only way I could see him helping.
"Agnus. I know you think it looks like a terrible idea. But it's sothing I desperately require. If you don't do it, I must ask soone else to. And who knows how many of those things I will put inside ."
Well, there were also the options of blackmail. I was a talent that shouldn't have been released. Even if I had a shitty personality, I was too talented to be let go.
"Promise never to use that line again."
"Agnus you seem more better looking then usual."
"..."
In the end, I got Agnus to agree with my idea. I sent him my location; this would be his first ti visiting my house. It would take a while for him to co, so I had to set up a place to do this process.
Before I let the dragon out, I had to prepare. I put a barrier around the garden so all the corruption wouldn't spread. I also had to put up a second barrier to hide this thing. People's greed was sothing I was used to seeing. I don't want soone trying to rob .
After preparing for everything, Agnus arrived on ti.
"Welco in. How do you like my place?"
While it was still new, I made it as comfortable as possible. I wasn't the type of person to show off everything. I an, I was, but I preferred comfortability instead.
"It's less snobbish than I thought."
I was the type to brag. But it would also make uncomfortable to have too many things that don't appeal to .
After giving him a small tour, I led him to the basent and showed him the dragon's corpse. Even for Agnus, finding an elder dragon's corpse was sothing he wouldn't see in a hundred years.
"To think a monster like this would live this long."
Agnus knew how long this dragon lived by his knowledge alone. He couldn't believe that he was seeing a monster like this. He was tempted to destroy this corpse just at the sight of it.
"Let's start imdiately. I want to get this thing out of my sight imdiately."
I also felt the sa for a whole different reason. I wanted to gain the power of this dragon right away.
To start with this process, Agnus took so blood from the dragon. The blood alone gave off intense negative energy, and Agnus had genuine disgust toward it.
"Isn't that too small? I feel like more concentration would be better."
"We will test the results first. If you can't handle this, there's no reason to get more."
Agnus had a point. Even if the dragon blood was intense, I still felt like it wouldn't affect in any way. Agnus then used his magic and combined my blood with the evil dragon's blood.
With Agnus transfusing my blood with the dragon's blood, I felt the power inside surge. The warm yet corrosive property would have made go insane if I didn't have my cheat.
My insides were shredding and repairing in an instant. I could feel the repaired parts becoming more durable, and the magic I received increased tenfold.
While I didn't need mana, it never hurt to have more. Five minutes later, my body was durable and was now resistant to the dragon's blood.
"It's incredible how your body can do that."
He knew I had a skill that made immortal, but seeing it used like a power tool felt unfair.
"That's how skills work. Everyone has their own way of strengthening. Agnus, I'm going to need a concentrated version of it."
Seeing that I could handle it, he increased the dose. Once again, the inner parts of my body burned. I looked at Agnus and told him that I wanted more.
Finding out that my mind wasn't corrupted, Agnus kept dosing with the dragon's blood. One trillion dollars were worth the spending. I had used eighty percent of the blood, and any more would be useless.
"Do you feel any side effects?"
"I have never felt better!"
I stretched my body, feeling more flexible than before. I had improved once again, feeling closer to Agnus's strength.
"Want half of the body? I'm sure you can use it for the others."
Since I had no more use for the dragon, I would offer it to Agnus. The girls here shouldn't take the blood since they have no ntal resistance. I also preferred the way they are.
"No. Keep it. Preferably take it away."
After finishing the blood transfusion, I returned the corpse to my inventory. Agnus' expression relaxed, seeing the corpse disappear before his eyes.
"Are you sure? You can sell it for an amazing price."
"That makes even more worried about the buyer's hands."
"Then do you really want to destroy this corpse?"
"Please do. I will even pay back what you bought if you did."
"I paid one trillion credits. Do you have enough?"
Agnus coughed at seeing the price go so high. He had expected it to be expensive, but not that expensive.
"Forget about it. Just keep it in your inventory locked away."
That was what I intended to do with it. Now that I had powered up imnsely, I wanted to test my powers.
eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ "Hey, Agnus. Let's spar for a bit."
"Spar? It's been a while. Let's see how much you have grown."
The last ti I took a beating from Agnus was when I went to war. Ever since then, I have grown trendously. My reaction speed, power, defense, mana, and all kinds of stats were upgraded. This ti, the results will be different. I'm sure of it.
"Are you ready? I will let you have the first move."
"Don't mind if I do."
With Agnus giving the first strike, I took the chance. I knew that, even though he was unguarded, he was soone who knew what they were doing.

"How..."
Our fight ended in minutes. Agnus let use everything against him for a whole minute. I knew I lacked the basics, but defending a barrage of attacks by dodging was annoying.
Agnus played with during the entire sparring session. After one minute was up, he bullied into submission.
Even if I tried to defend him, he would attack where I least expected it. I had thought I ca close to Agnus in terms of the body because of my strengthening, but it seems I was wrong.
"You already know the answer, so why ask?"
Agnus sighed at my pointless question. It's true, but I wanted to hear from the man himself. Should I ask for a training instructor? Or get a tool that helps fight on autopilot?
"It's been a pleasure to see your new place. You know , I don't have all day. It's about ti I make my way to the exit."
"Is that so? Then next ti, I will be the one visiting."
As the boss of a company, Agnus had work to do. Leading him out the door, we said our goodbyes.
With Agnus gone, what should I do next? I hadn't been with Courtney much since we moved in. Let's play with her.
