I Have Seven Dragon Souls In a cultivation world

The second Karther heard Dante's words, his body lightly shook.

"Now tell me this, Karther." Asked Dante

"Where in my letter to you did it say to spread rumours around the happenings in the north towards the capital city?"

As Dante asked this question, his true unfiltered Aura of Dragon fear erupted!

The terrifying aura spread out like a tidal wave smothering the room in an unbearable pressure.

Dante could see the physical and mental struggle that this was causing towards Karther but he didn't reduce the pressure in the slightest.

His eyes soon morphed into a pair of cold serpentine slits as  his cold voice resounded throughout the hall.

"Answer me Karther. Where in my letter did it tell you to do those things?"

A nervous sweets broke out on Karther's back as he hurriedly began his explanation.

"M…My lord please forgive me for my isolance but I swear that I was only acting in your best interests"

"Oh? Best interests?" Asked Dante

"Please explain what you mean by this Mr Baleview."

"My lord it's like this. Ever since your encounter with the first Prince Lloyd  rumours about you in the capital have not been good. There are rumours that you're an arrogant lovestruck fool that has no regard for imperial power or respect for the Dragon academy. With the heroic fear you accomplished in the north I was hoping to use rumours to sway public perception about you and create a completely new image."

As Dante heard this a wide smile appeared on his face.

'Impressive' thought Dante

Although this was what he had been expecting to hear from Karther it was more impressive hearing these thoughts coming out of his own mouth.

Ever since he entered the capital and realised how strongly the rumours were being spread around he instantly knew that someone was behind them.

And from the positive nature of the rumours he also knew that it could never be an enemy either.

So with just a few minutes of narrowing down the potential suspects it was rather easy to come to the conclusion that Karther had been behind it the entire time.

The only reason that Dante had even released such a terrifying aura to interrogate Karther was to simply find out whether he was the one who came up with the idea.

After all, there was a big difference between stealing credit for an idea and coming up with one themselves.

The idea of swaying public opinion to create an entire persona and narrative was an impressive one that Dante more than anyone knew the worth of.

After all, before the craziness of being transported into the Martial Spirit continent, Dante was just a simple resident of planet earth. Any person on earth would know just how powerful an effect controlling the media and public opinion can have.

Dante didn't want to punish Karthe in the slightest. If anything, he was embarrassed that it took him, a person from modern day earth, so long to realise this in this world. And even this was only after being reminded by one of his servants!

If Dante's guess was correct then it would seem like Karther actually had some talent in this sort of field.

Originally, for Dante, Karther was not Someone to be taken seriously.

He had neither extraditable talent nor important wealth or connections. If it wasn't for this event then Dante would have simply seen him as just another  pawn  to be used and disposed of carelessly.

But if Karthers talent in controlling public perception was the real deal, then it was possible for Dante to actually start seeing him as one of his real people.

Getting the answer he was looking for, Dante quickly retreated his Aura of Dragon Fear As he rose from his seat.

"Karther." Said Dante

"Yes my lord."'replied Karther, swiftly standing up to attention

"Karther if I'm going to be honest, when I first met you I found nothing about you to be impressive."

As soon as Karther heard this his shoulders slightly slouched.

Even if he knew the truth of his mediocrity deep inside him, hearing the words straight out of the mouth of the lord he chose to serve were still disheartening.

But before Karther could start to wallow in his self pity, Dante started to speak yet again.

"You were average to the point you could almost be forgotten but! Today with what you have shown me something and  I have  discovered that  you are a different type of talent. A talent worthy enough for us to change our relationship of mere lord  and servant but instead to one of comrade who can stand by me." Said Dante

"Karther what I'm trying to say is that now I believe you are worthy of standing beside me on my journey to reach heights you have never seen before. The Vaenam kingdom, southern continent, even central continent! All of these things will just be steps we shall climb in order to conquer and rule!"

As Dante spoke his body  suddenly flickered as he moved at blinding speeds, instantly appearing before Karther.

"Roar!"

A horrifying symphony of Draconic roars resounded across the hall room as Dante manifested all of his martial spirits.

Karther watched in both awe and wonder as he saw the image of Dante's now famous Red and silver Dragons coalesce behind him.

But what left Karther truly dumbstruck was the fact that the phenomena had not stopped there.

Besides the phantom of the Silver and Red dragons there was something else.

A blast of terrifying green flames seemed to erupt whilst a terrifying black miasma started to swirl around Dante.

Karther could barely maintain his composure as the terrifying aura of death surged around Dante whilst screams of hatred for the living seemed to resound within his very soul.

Slowly but surely the figure of a large boney draconic figure appeared behind Dante.

Its bones were black as night whilst ghostly green flames seemed to flicker and writhed in the place of normal flesh.
