"Wow, little Ruby's got slightly bigger! But still cute!" Saphira said happily.
"Amazing, it truly became a small dragon now, and with only a single scale…" Said Eleanora.
"The power of Alchemy is truly wondrous, is it not? What Master used was a type of Alchemical Magic Circle that adapts and transforms the body of an evolving being through the absorption of such materials!" Hendrick was fascinated. "Despite now being within the body of a human child, master is still master!"

He had indeed grown stronger after this amazing evolution. He finally became a dragon, and even though he also increased a star, his stats increased a lot. His own Rank went from F to D-, that was skipping two ranks in a row, very surprising.
Many of his Skills also improved, namely all those that had the "Wyvern" name on them were improved to their stronger Dragon versions. This was, without a doubt, a good investment of my ten million Telis… I barely have a few million left.
But that's okay… after all, my new goose of the golden eggs is right in front of me. A Dragon Scale from the Red Dragon was pretty expensive, how about the small scales of a Little Blood Dragon? although not as valuable, they would surely cost a good amount.
Though, that's not exactly my actual goal, the first goal I had to evolve Ruby into a Dragon was this one…
My connection with Ruby was strengthened. In fact, his own eyes became serious out of the blue, glancing into my own eyes. A thin thread that connected master and tamed monster was suddenly strengthened, becoming hundreds of threads which wrapped around one another, turning into a thick rope connecting our souls.
Little Ruby roared, his roar was small yet it carried the strength of a growing dragon, such dragon essence flowed into my very being, as our master and tamed monster connection evolved… I stepped towards Ruby and then kneel before him, touching his little forehead.
[Your Connection with your Tamed Monster: [Ruby] has evolved!]
[You have now created a {Dragon Contract} with the Small Blood Dragon Ruby!]
[You acquired the [Dragon Master: Lv1] Title Skill!]
[You learned the [Dragon Connection: Lv1] Skill!]
[All your stats have increased!]
Skill Proficiency: 0/10000
A Special Title Skill only granted to those legendary figures who have somehow managed not only to tame a Dragon, but also to form a powerful Contract with them, something that cannot be done unless the Dragon recognizes their master.
Dragons are so prideful that they would rather die than accept someone unworthy, therefore, it is impossible, even with the most fearsome of magics or the worst of tortures, to ever make one forcefully take a person as their True Master.
That you possess this Title must mean a Dragon has recognized you as their True Master, and that their respect for you goes beyond merely being a tamed monster, it is to see you as their companion, or even as family.
Your Dragon will grow progressively stronger as you do, and both are able to share 10% of each other's stats, with an additional +5% with each Skill Level. The user is also able to draw Dragon Energy from the Contracted Dragon's Heart, which allows for the conjuration of special Dragon Magic or Draconic Arts.
Additionally, the Contracted Dragon can Level up both their Levels and Skills at thrice the normal speed.
[Dragon Connection: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 0/10000
A Special Skill that only those who have formed a special Contract with a Dragon can acquire. It allows for the temporary connection of the user and their dragon, which can temporarily enhance their stats by 50% of their dragon's total stats for 5 Minutes, with an additional 2 Minutes with each Skill Level.
Repeated usage of this skill might result in backlash, although such backlash becomes lesser by increasing the skill's level.
Additionally, grants the ability to utilize Dragon Energy to boost the user's stats and enhance their Skill and Magic Damage by +30% with an additional +10% with each Skill Level. Might also grant the ability to Transform, gaining the Dragon's Skills temporarily.
Although I knew that a Dragon Contract pretty much allowed for this, I never expected these powers to emerge as Skills as well… I've been earning an awful lot of Skills lately, it almost makes me feel slightly bad about it, but there's no helping it, this is how I can grow stronger anyways, I might as well embrace these gifts.
"Let's try this out right away… {Dragon Connection}"
Suddenly, I felt an enormous burst of power flowing across my body, combining into my physique and the rest of my muscles, bones, and skin. My arms suddenly began growing red scales, and even a small red horn grew on my forehead.
By looking at myself in the mirror, my eyes had become resembling those of reptiles, I had yet to develop stronger aspects, such as claws, tail, and wings, but this was already amazing enough.
I quickly took out a knife and began carving my skin, taking out the red scales growing over my arms and shoulders, bleeding myself all over.
"Wait, master, what are you doing?!" Hendrick cried in surprise.
"Sigh… I knew he would do this." Sighed Eleanora. "He cannot bring himself to hurt little Ruby after all."
"Eek! Papa you're bleeding all over!" Cried Saphira.
I was going to use these scales for future materials and also to sell them for more money, they can regrow back anyways, so there was no problem here.
…It is simply because it is convenient, there's nothing like not wanting to hurt Ruby or something.
Ah, who am I lying to?
