Reborn in Danmachi as a Dragon-Kin (Rewrite)

Chapter 161

Over the next few hours, Draco busied himself with experiments on the firebird while occasionally sending out pulses of energy to check in on his familia members fighting below. 

His curiosity had led him to try various approaches: gauging the firebird’s reactions to his elemental and dragon energy, and even attempting to inject its magic stone with his own energy.

However, things didn’t go as planned when he injected his elemental energy into the magic stone. 

A conflict arose with the dungeon’s influence, resulting in micro-cracks forming in the firebird’s magic stone. 

Fortunately, Draco realized the mistake in time, ensuring that the firebird survived. Yet, its gaze shifted from one of mischief to a lifeless stare. 

This change was understandable; although it was primarily driven by instinct, the firebird was not devoid of intelligence. 

It recognized Draco as a dangerous being playing with its life and, lacking the means to retaliate and not understanding the concept of suicide, it could only remain still and await its fate.

‘Did I go too far?’ Draco pondered, observing the now docile firebird. 

“Sorry,” he apologized to the creature. 

He had not intended to push things this far, but his curiosity had taken over. 

Initially, he aimed to tame the firebird, but his thoughts had shifted toward the possibility of transforming it into a Xenos, and it was at this point that his intentions grew questionable.

Turning his gaze downward from the treetops, Draco spotted a haggard Vasileios leaning against a tree, utterly exhausted. 

To Vasileios left lay a pile of loot from the Gun Libellula’s and Lizardmen he had fought for hours. 

‘That should be enough for today,’ Draco thought. 

Although Vasileios wasn't heavily injured, his stamina was nearly depleted, and he had run out of potions. 

Sending out another pulse of energy to check on the rest of his familia, Draco sensed that everyone else was also fatigued, though not as severely as Vasileios. 

He turned back to the firebird, contemplating what to do next. 

Removing a monster from the dungeon was not a straightforward task; proper procedures needed to be followed with the guild. 

Moreover, he was unsure if the firebird was genuinely tamed. 

Despite its docile behaviour, there was no telling what it would do once the next day arrived.

Suddenly, an idea sparked in Draco’s mind. 

He decided to seal all the entrances and exits to this section of the dungeon using earth magic. 

Since no other adventurers frequented this area, he doubted his actions would cause any trouble. 

High above, on the ceiling of the room, Draco carved out a small space for the firebird and left it there. 

His familia would be farming excelia in that area for the week anyway, and the firebird was not an easy target for the monsters lurking nearby, allowing him ample time to focus on taming it.

He also recognized that this would give him time to re

‘Sigh, we really need to establish a familia home soon, but this seems gay for some reason’ Draco thought, as he stared at the giant statue of Ganesha.

The entrance to the Ganesha familia home was at the crotch of the statue.
