Soul of Searing Steel

Chapter 375: Acquaintances from the Pre-Existence Are All Over the World

Joshua spent over three hours to guide Black in adapting its new human body.

That was actually a very normal thing. A dragon that has never experience walking with a pair of legs would not be able to immediately adapt to the function of the human body. Black also did not possess any Legacy memory of it.

During that three hours, the warrior went through hell guiding Black. Finally, he managed to bring Black into mastering the art of walking and running. Black could also jump a little without falling to the ground after some practice. She could also speak a sentence or two in the human language. However, every time she was not focused enough, she would still fall flat on her face.

A few months ago, Black could already understand the human language. However, the throat structure of the giant dragon was not capable of speaking. Black had always been communicating with Joshua and the others by using its roars and the other sounds she could make. Hence, she was able to learn how to speak at a much faster rate than she learned how to walk.

“Master…” Upon rejecting the help from the Steel Elemental Eva, the draconic girl who attempted to walk on her own tripped over her own leg and fell to the ground again. She slowly stood back up on her feet from the metallic floor of the Ark and let out a gentle sigh.

Black’s voice sounded very light and soft. It was nice to listen to her voice. However, she was stammering a little, “Human being no tail… walking… balance is very difficult.”

After she said that, she looked at the warrior who stood before her with admiration. She actually thought that it was admirable for any being to be able to stand still on the ground like the warrior.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz. Buzz.” Right next to her, the Steel Elemental which was summoned to help Black in her walking had also nodded its head as it made some unintelligible noises. At the same time, Black coughed and a golden blazing fire burst through the air and scorched the metallic floor of the cabin, turning it red hot.

There were also at least seven to eight more similar markings across the floor in the cabin.

“…”

Joshua who stood there with one of his sleeves burned to crisp only shook his head and sighed. Hill who had been hiding in a corner told Funa that Black was a talented draconic girl with a gifted wisdom. After all, she managed to learn so much about walking.

“The first time when I learned how to use Human Transfiguration, I spent quite a lot of time learning how to control my strength and how to balance my body.”

Funa was fiddling with her own hair as she smiled. “However, I possess the Legacy memory. It is only a few hours since Black learned how to use Human Transfiguration. So it would not be possible for her to master all that in such a short while.”

“For a beginner who started from the scratch, this is actually pretty quick,” Hill nodded slightly as he stretched his back a little. He sleepily said, “I think that you should get some rest too, Joshua… In fact, I’m going back to rest. I was woken up by the noises you guys made after I had gone to sleep for like five minutes…”

Because the preliminary training for the black draconic girl to walk had ended, the young elf decided to bid farewell and leave the cabin. Funa encouraged the draconic girl with some motivational words before she left with Hill. Their voices echoed from the corridor as they slowly walked away. Only Joshua, Black, and Eva remained in the cargo bay.

“Well, that should do it. That’s enough for today. It’s good enough,” the warrior muttered to himself. For him, it wasn’t the most important thing for Black to adapt to her new human body quickly. As long as she’s happy, everything was good. After all, after using Human Transfiguration for the first time, Black was able to shift into her draconic form and her human form at will. If she could not master the skill to balance herself to walk, the warrior could make her turn herself back into her draconic form to guard the Epoch with Funa. She could focus on learning all that when they return to their territory.

Joshua finally eased himself and reached out his hand to caress Black’s hair. Then he spoke with a soft voice, “You have been battling against the sea monsters for a while now, and you are now training with me. Good work. You should rest now.”
