Chapter 154: Bonding; A potentially OP ability

Upto now, Chris hadn't been able to feel much, since he wasn't aware of what might be inside. The creature wasn't even fully awakened, and before he saw Dora's case, he wasn't even aware that bond could form before that.

But Dora on the other hand had still been able to bond somehow with her mysterious mothering techniques. Over these few days, along with the creature's growth, she had gotten quite a lot of new unexplored abilities and was also able to sense the vague emotions of the baby.

But despite the hints, even she never realized that there were actually two babies inside! It's just that the notion is so absurd that it automatically got rejected by the subconscious mind.

But when the creature awakened, she could feel its emotions crystal clear and even hear its voice(s).

But, Dora had to focus on something else right now,

"What are we going to do?! How will you be able to go through the same pain again?!" She asked frantically.

Chris raised his hands in a relaxed manner, "Oi, we aren't in any hurry. I won't bond as long as I have my occlumency shields up," he explained. Without bringing down his occlumency shields, Chris can't bond with the creature. He couldn't bond with Nyxie as well with his shields up.

"Oh!" Dora relaxed a bit, "So what now?"

Chris sighed, "I've made all the preparations, so there's no need to be worried about it. But... the bonding this time is not going to be simple," he stated, "You, the hatchling, and Nyxie will have to go through a similar process as well,"

"...??"

This time, the bonding is going to be a bit complicated.

A bond works two-ways. So, if he's getting something, the creature he's bonding to would also get something in return. If he's going to experience rapid changes, the creature is going to experience them as well.

The last time when he bonded with Nyxie, Nyxie didn't get many physical changes since a dragon's body is already much better than a wizard's. Their hide, their organs, their blood, everything is magical and it was more so for Nyxie who was absorbing a lot of pure magic as a hatchling.

Thus, what she got from me were aspects like pure magic, magic sense, etc which apparently didn't cause much pain.

But this time, the baby hatchling was going to be overwhelmed by Chris's draconian Physique in at least some areas, so it's definitely going to experience pain.

And that wasn't it. The bonded individuals grow together, so since he and the hatchling are going to have a rapid growth, then Nyxie who's already bonded to me, and Dora who's bonded to the hatchling both are going to experience a rapid growth as well.

Though the growth wouldn't be as much as the direct parties involved since they are only going to get a portion, but it's still going to be painful.

Thus, not counting himself, Chris has to prevent the hatchling, Dora, and Nyxie from pain as well.

Chris explained all this to Dora as well.

"So what now? Are you never going to bring down your occlumency shield?" She asked worriedly.

Chris chuckled relaxedly, "No need to go that far. We can all just stay unconscious for the duration and we'll be fine. The only thing to worry about during bonding is pain. It's not at all life-threatening," he reassured her.

Thus, it was decided. They'll just get unconscious for the duration. For inducing unconsciousness, he strongly suggested using the 'Anesthetic Sleep' spell. With this, they'll also be able to wake up on their own after some time.

Dora needed some persuasion, and he also to had to give the demonstration of the spell which he was going to use. But in the end, she agreed when he provided reasons.

A stunning spell shouldn't have had any problem, but he's using this one because it's much safer and most importantly, Dora can't learn to cast it right now. So, he'll be the last one awake to cast it on himself.

"Are you really not going to stay awake?" Asked Dora as she looked at me with some suspicion.

Chris rolled his eyes, "Oh, come on! Why would I want to experience pain when I can clearly avoid it?!" He asked her exasperatedly. "Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not into that sort of thing..."

Dora turned her face away at his words, 'Where did he even learn things like this so early?! It can't be his grandma once again, can it?!'

But, his words had weight. Chris would indeed not suffer on purpose when there's such an easy way to avoid it. He just has to cast the spell on himself. Thus, Dora relented and Chris began casting the spell on everyone. For Nyxie, it was an overpowered one.

Before casting it on Dora, he had her properly lay on the bed then he bent down so that both of them were on eye level.

Dora began to get nervous, "Um" she has subconsciously wanted some space.

But Chris just kissed her on the forehead, "See you in your dreams, my dear girlfriend,"

Dora found herself blushing and she closed her eyes and hid her face, "Just cast it already!" She muttered.

Chris chuckled, thoroughly enjoying teasing his girlfriend. She won't be this shy and easy to tease one day once she gets used to the concept of being his girlfriend. Thus, it's best to enjoy this phase as much as he can.

*Swoop* he cast the spell on her as well and Dora closed her eyes before looking at him for a list time.

To distract himself from the pain, he recalled the brief moment he was able to hear the creature's thoughts as soon as the connection got established and he made it go unconscious.

It was definitely two voices. Both of them called out to him.

'Are there two of them?' If that was the case, then it would explain some things, though it would also complicate some things. How can I bond with those two creatures at the same time?'

'If I count properly, I have now bonded with three creatures. Though two of those creatures have bonded with two people including myself and the other person is Dora who has also bonded with more than one creature... what a mess.'

While thinking of such thoughts to distract himself from pain, he kept healing all of them. Dora's physical also went through a lot of struggle, so even though everything healed quite fast, her clothes were still stained with blood. But this was to be expected. She's getting characteristics from both me and Nyxie.

Seeing her blood, Chris's mind felt queasy. Chris focused on Nyxie instead while feeling pain in his mouth this time, just what effects is this Horned Serpent bringing?

Though whatever the case, he was most surprised, bewildered, and worried about Nyxie. Her small body was quivering from time to time and her some reason, her scales were changing colors. Usually, they are just black, when she's only hiding it, there's a shimmering in rainbow colors, but they never change one color at a time like right now.

'Hmm... that's weird. Why is Nyixe having such a drastic physical change too, just like me? I couldn't figure out just what was so special about the Horned Serpent that was causing me and Nyxie to have our whole bodies have changes.

It could be explained if it was either Dora or the Horned Serpent since they both would have to get mine and Nyxie's characteristics, but me and Nyxie? We're only getting characteristics of the Horned Serpent since Dora has nothing that I don't already hav WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE!!!

Damn! I'm an Idiot!

Of course, it could be that! It's just that it was so unreal that I never thought of it.

"METAMORPHAGUS..." I muttered out loud in disbelief, my eyes wide open.

****

A.N.: What if MC gets metamorphic abilities?

And...

what if Nyxie and the two hatchlings get the metamorphic ability?

Btw, did you also guys completely forgot to consider the metamorphagus ability like Chris did? If yes then I succeeded.

Edit: Damnit! Why's everyone talking about Harem? There's no Harem for the foreseeable future! I haven't decided

Power Stones... I didn't get many this week. because I didn't update at the renewal time, damn. The difference is overwhelming because by the time I post it, everyone has already given theirs to some other book. Haven't you?

Sigh... and someone was asking why I always updated at the same time as everyone else does.
