Chapter 47: End of Trouble
" I see, so you didn't want to stay in the realm of living much longer? " Donovan asks Grimdark's spirit essence that came out from the core as he and the dragon spirit somehow can understand each other.
During their 'unheard' conversation, Grimdark shows Donovan what happened before he died as he shows Donovan his last memories of living before his core is planted inside Draco's body.
" I see, be well then... " Donovan says to him.
" You're free now... " he says as Grimdark's spirit Dissipates from his sight, leaving traces no more in the world of the living as it also takes Draco's soul that had been fused with his very essence since he's his Dragon Slayer.
" There he goes.... "
" Now... " Donovan looks at Selena.
" No, there's no way.... " Selena says while looking at what happened.
" How did you know my brother Dragon Slayer Magic's secret...? " she ask while still struggling to be freed from the Black Shadow Hands.
When she asks that, Donovan looks at he as he controls his shadow to make her approach him while the Black Shadows' hands still hold and drag her towards the Shadow Realm.
" Of course, I know that he is using a 'cheat'... " Donovan tells her.
" From our fight earlier, I often see a purple light always coming out from his chest whenever he tries to use his Dragon Slayer magic to his full extent. " Donovan explains.
" Not just that, I also often see his body often loses balance as if he can't control his Dragon Transformation and based on my... observations... " Donovan stops his words while looking sharply at Selena as she gazes her eyes away from Donovan.
" Your brother just received the Dragon Core around a week ago, is it not? " Donovan asks which made Selena intimidated.
"( Dammit, how does he know the secret of my brother's Dragon Slayer Magic? )" Selena thinks to herself.
"( I thought my House had already closed any information regarding it to anyone.)" Selena says to herself.
Seeing her behavior, Donovan then understands that she must have lost her spirit after seeing her powerful brother have a humiliating defeat and the secret is being revealed.
" I see, so it is true... " Donovan says as he knows full well about things regarding this Magic thanks to his mother being one of its greatest practitioners which gave him a great amount of knowledge for this magic despite not having it in his arsenal right now.
"( Too bad, the Dragon Mana was immediately dissipated after the Core is being released. )"
"( I like to acquire it in hopes of gaining the 'Dragon Slayer' Magic in advance, but........... )" Donovan stops.
"( Why did the Dragon Mana immediately go away? )"
"( If he's such a strong dragon, his spirit should've existed more longer than before for I remember that was just around 3 minutes while the Dragon Soul and Spirit usually can stay in the world of living for thousands of years according to my mother's explanation... )"
"( Was it just the last remnant of Grimdark's Mana Essence? )" Donovan is curious about what he just see back then and decided to look at Selena who is still intimidated by his knowledge of the Dragon Slayer Magic.
" Hey Selena, are you going mute? " Donovan asks her as she was still silent after things don't go her way.
"( Dammit, why does this happen? )"
"( I only want brother to hit him since I find it to be disturbing for a Pitch-Black skinned boy like him to hit a beautiful white skin like me. )" Selena says as she is one of the royals that still believes in white-skin superiority.
"( But, but... how did he even defeat my brother...? )" Selena thinks while wanting to cry as the Black Shadow's hands begin to rapidly drag her into their realm.
" Take her... " Donovan orders the shadows.
" We will use her for extraction and.... " he looks at Draco's corpse.
" Could you also please take him too? " Donovan ordered the Black Shadows then take Draco's corpse into the shadows as the corpse slowly drowned in the shadows.
After the two had been taken into the shadows, suddenly Donovan gets ill as the Aether Use has been deactivated while the System also tells him that the <Extraction> Skill is complete as he will automatically feel and experience the effect right now.
" The effects are in progress!!!!? "
< Selena Nyx Nocterra has been successfully extracted. >
< Traits successfully extracted. >
< Mana successfully extracted. >
< Core successfully extracted. >
< Draco Nyx Nocterra has been successfully extracted. >
< Traits successfully extracted. >

" Now!!!??? " Donovan gets ill as he now fainted on the ground as his body starts changing and his skin starts turning from the usual Pitch-Black skin into a normal human skin as he now seems to get a little bit taller.
< Congratulations, you have successfully increased the level of the Human Race >
< Human Race Racial Level +1 >
< Human Race Racial Level 5 >
< At this Racial Level, the User's body will change entirely into that of a normal human completely while still having all of the skills before since only the skin has changed. >
............................
( Minutes later. )
" Donovan... Donovan... "
" What happened to him? "
" He doesn't look like him, are you sure it's him? "
" Of course, Goriath, just feel the Mana Essence around his body, you can tell that this is Donovan. "
" But his looks, it doesn't look like Donovan we know just recently. "
" Doesn't matter, whether he can actually change his body like a shapeshifter, it doesn't change that Donovan is my friend. "
" Hey, Donovan.... wake up... " Carlos says while clapping on Donovan's face as it immediately wakes Donovan.
*Gasp*
*Deep breathes*
Donovan awakes and sees everyone surrounding him, even the principal comes in and checks what happened which made him shocked after seeing Donovan for he can sense his Mana and quickly notices who it belongs to despite Donovan's sudden change of appearance.
" Donovan, you awake... " Carlos says to Donovan while being surrounded by other students who had been freed from their slumber as they all looked at the changed Donovan while Donovan himself is confused to see them around him.
" What happened..? " he says while looking around.
