Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! Vol 14 Chapter 57

Can you imagine how the feeling of all your skin splitting feels? Actually, let me reword that . Can you imagine the feeling of your moist skin gradually dying by gradually losing moist due to the high temperature then chapping before, finally, gradually peeling off? I don’t think there’s a single person who could imagine that, as you’ll no longer be paying attention to your skin when your skin is gradually splitting . When that happens, you’ll always pay attention to other parts of your body or scream . However, I had no means of screaming in the moment, for I was immersed in water .

I was completely submerged in water . It was impossible for me to make any vocal sounds, because if I did, I’d suffocate . All I could do was observe my skin peel off bit by bit . The pain nearly took my conscious from me, but the flowing water nearby and risk of drowning allowed me to barely maintain life . Further, my heart was still beating vigorously despite a long time having passed . I didn’t seem to suffocate . As soon as I opened my mouth, the enormous dragon’s blood would gush into my mouth . It would enter my mouth, run down my oesophagus and enter my gut, which made me feel as though my internal organs were set alight .

In spite of that, my heart didn’t lose strength . To the contrary, my heart beats gradually intensified . The fish around were attracted to my shed skin . There were even fish bold enough to swim over right next to me to eat the skin I shed . They surrounded me, but I was incapable of extending out my arms to drive them off . As such, I was relegated to just watching all of my skin peel off bit by bit, consequently revealing my pink flesh underneath .

The dragon’s blood burnt my clothes . It was as if I jumped into boiling oil and not a lake . My last piece of skin was finally shed . I was akin to a human mannequin standing by the wall in a biology experiment room, incapable of doing anything or feeling anything . I didn’t breathe, but I didn’t feel suffocated .

Legend had it that Achilles was impervious to blades after being soaked in a lake, with his ankle being his only vulnerable spot . Siegfried, on the other hand, used a leaf to cover the weak point on his shoulder . However, my entire body was submerged in the dragon’s blood . No body part was missed . If I was impervious to blades after, that meant my entire body was impervious to blades; nobody would be able to hurt me .

I swallowed mouthfuls of dragon blood . The initial painful feeling of being torn eventually developed into an oddly ecstatic sensation . Being submerged in the lake was initially incredibly painful, but I didn’t feel anything after shedding my skin . In fact, I could no longer feel the high temperature . To the contrary, it felt so cool and refreshing that I liked it . I gradually relaxed as the pain of being incinerated vanished . A feeling of exhaustion from around me came onto me .

I started to wonder how I was going to get out . Every part of my body ached . The pain came from within . The pain almost made me belt out, but I had an urge to let out a terrifying roar before I could let out a painful cry . I checked out my arm . My arm had shed its skin, but scales were growing from between my flesh and veins . Scales of the same colour as my skin gradually appeared . I was soon covered in closely situated together scales akin to that of snake scales . The shock and disgust rendered me lightheaded . Nevertheless, I couldn’t move . I couldn’t even touch myself, let alone move my arm .

I felt as though my interior was in an inferno . The burning sensation ripped everything within, including my organs . My organs, veins and skin were alight; or rather, every inch of my veins was alight . I didn’t know if my organs were actually on fire or not as per the skin-shedding process . I had no idea what the function of a dragon’s blood was, but I was sure the scales made me invulnerable to magic and impervious to all blades .

“Am I now a dragon that is impervious to blades?” I pondered .

The closely-knitted scales covered my entire flesh body, and then melded in together, so there was no trace of my scales . They appeared as though they were once part of my skin . The last sensation of pain from my organs vanished . My heart stopped beating . When it resumed beating, it astonished me, because each thump was hard . It was as though my entire body had been switched out . My weak body that lacked mana was revived within an instant . I felt the delight and soothing feeling that was a result of having everything replaced with new parts .

I could finally feel my hand . I could finally feel the temperature around me . I blankly looked at my body and tried to move my fingers . I didn’t feel the softness of flesh, but rather, I felt metal . It was as if my entire body had become a machine . My exterior appearance looked the same as before, but I had shed my skin, leaving me with just ice-cold scales . Perhaps my body temperature heated my scales . But nonetheless, I could no longer feel the warmth of skin to skin contact and the bliss of it .

Henceforth, my moms, wives and children would only be able to feel hard and ice-cold scales, I presumed . The scales could, indeed, help me guard against mana and blades, but it also meant I’d never again be able to feel the warmth of an embrace or kiss . You couldn’t shake hands with somebody when you had your fist clenched .

I checked my surroundings, and then tried to swim . I never felt the empowered feeling before . I suddenly realised I needed oxygen . Sure, I was impervious to blades, but I still needed oxygen . With that said, I could last under water for a very long time, as my lungs could store a lot more oxygen . My vision and hearing didn’t show any obvious improvements, though . Perhaps that was why she left her eyes for me, as well .

I felt I had to ascend to the surface . I suddenly wanted to try utilising magic again . I imagined myself leaping out of the water as some sort of boss or hero character was making their entrance…  So, what did I need to do then? I guess I needed to raise the water in my vicinity upwards…

That was what I did . I elevated myself straight up on a pillar of water . I felt the water underfoot rise up as if it was an elevator of water as well as the flowing water around me . I looked at the water overhead and the surface that was getting closer and closer . I dove right out of the water, allowing me to finally take in clear oxygen and feel the bright sunlight . Wings protruded from my back and beautifully spread out similarly to a bat . I felt the sensation of flying for the first time . I was able to learn to fly without being taught . I innately knew how to fly once I spread my wings .

I looked down below . The final remnants of black burnt stuff that the dragon burnt were still by the edge of the lake . Ying looked up to look at me in the sky . I slowly descended to the ground . My feet covered in scales couldn’t feel any more pain when I landed on the sand . All I felt was a slippery feeling .

My wings retracted into my back . I could control the wings at will . I looked at Ying with a smug gaze . I stretched my arms out to show off my body, and then proudly asked, “What do you think, Ying? How do I look? Any changes?”

Ying indifferently scanned me . She didn’t show any surprise despite seeing my current look . She scanned me for a while before nodding: “Your Majesty, your body is very tough . You look slightly thin, but you should have some muscle there . ”

She then looked down below my waist . In a calm tone, she added, “As for other places… Sorry, but I have never seen another man’s body, so I have no way of evaluating whether you are tough or not . ”

“Sorry… Sorry, sorry…”

I suddenly realised that I was naked… My clothes were burnt when I went into the water . The dragon’s blood recreated my skin and organs, but my clothes couldn’t be “revived . ”  I went red in the face and ears, and then covered myself up before moving to the side . I almost died from embarrassment when I looked at Ying .

Ying nonchalantly smiled, “It appears that we need to find you new clothes . Your Majesty, if I am correct, you can return now, right?”

I nodded . I extended my hand out and a flame appeared on my hand .  Frankly, that was the first time I felt such a miraculous feeling . In the past, I only felt the pain of my organs being ripped apart when I used magic in the forest . From that day, I could easily use magic without feeling any side-effects . I could seemingly feel the wind nearby murmuring and the essences of wandering water . It seemed as though everything around had a voice .

I was sure I could command something with just my imagination . In fact, I could feel every grain of sand in the desert . I wondered, “Is this magic? Is this how Mommy Vyvyan feels?

I don’t think I was as strong as Mommy Vyvyan, though . As opposed to what I culd feel, I believe my main source of strength for magic was my mana within .

I was reborn a second time . That’s right, it was my second reincarnation . I was reincarnated in the dragon’s blood . Humanity gave me my shell . Elves created my organs . The dragon gave me the power coursing through my entire body . Previously, I was just an ordinary human . Henceforward, I was an invincible existence, impervious to blades and capable of utilising magic . I became a mix of human, elf and dragon . Previously, I needed the people around me, but from then on, nobody could oppose my will .

I reached nirvana in the burning blood . To me, that was the same as a phoenix . I was an existence that reached nirvana!

“Not yet,” I answered to Ying . I closed my hand, putting out the flame . I then turned around to look at the burnt remains . Quietly, I said, “We need to give her a tombstone . She’s my mom . She’s my mom, who gave me my second life . She gave me everything she had; she truly loved me . I need to erect a tombstone for her in her hometown . ”

“There is no need for that, Your Majesty . ”

I spun my head back around . Ying’s comment surprised me . She, on the other hand, was confused . She questioned, “Did you mean to say the dragon’s revival was not what you were after?”
