Episode 356
Episode 117. The (3) I met in Matan
was dazzling.
The dragon that blew away the spirits of the three people at once was emitting bright light from its pure white body. It was as if a star had just fallen down.
The darkness of the dawn sky was lifted by the flight of the white dragon. The party could not take their eyes off the dragon and swallowed dry saliva.
“Ha…
even Malone, who has the least sense of aesthetics among the three, kept exclaiming. Yuma and Zeka also showed similar reactions.
Why did the dragon appear here?
I couldn’t even think of doing it. For a moment, thinking stopped at the wondrous beauty.
The dragon they were facing was the one who brought the dragons’ cigarettes to the top of Puang.
Each time the pure white wings flapped, silver particles created a small vortex and embroidered the sky. The tiny silver crystals seemed to dance.
‘uh? wait for a sec. That looks like magical power.’
Marlon and Zecca were still bewildered, but Yuma realized something was wrong.
Soon, Yuma was able to confirm that the silver crystals pouring from the wings were very sharp and pointy ‘mass of magic’.
And that soon it will shoot this way.
“What crazy! Raise your weapon!”
Yuma hurriedly shouted with a sword.
“what!? why weapons? it’s crazy? You want to hurt that pretty thing?”
“Wow, I heard that he became a drinking god, but he completely lost all his sensibility. How can you think of fighting after seeing something so beautiful… uh uh uh!”
When the two people who had been scolding them realized the situation, it was after the silver crystals had already started to fall.
The silver crystal that the party was staring at in rapture was ice formed by magic.
Wedge love! Wow!
As if thousands of holes had been pierced in the sky, a circular shock wave spread.
Thousands of sharp pieces of ice were obviously much faster than the arrows, and even the reflected light bounced off the pieces, causing confusion in the field of vision.
“OMG!”
“omg!”
If the three were ordinary soldiers, they would have had holes all over their bodies and would have died instantly without knowing why.
Of course, Yuma was the first to swing the sword.
Before the ice fragments could even reach, the aura blades that reached the extreme slashed the air in succession.
While Aura Blaird, which spread like a curtain, shattered ice fragments, Marlon and Zecca also spread their auras.
It was the moment when goose bumps ran down my forearms.
Even if Yuma was a second or half that late, he would not have been able to avoid serious damage. It was bloody to see the pieces of ice that fell around the group and broke through the dirt floor.
Each shot was as powerful as a magic bullet. Except for a radius of about 3 meters where the party was located, the surroundings were completely ruined as if there had been a real shelling.
“These idiots! Are you sure you want to die?”
“I didn’t know how to attack.”
“Ooh, did we just almost die?”
The White Dragon was looking down at them from the sky.
I couldn’t read his expression, but somehow he seemed extremely annoyed.
Yuma was so stunned that he was speechless for a moment.
As I erased the embarrassment, anger boiled over as if a fire had spread in my heart. Standing with her back to Tulka, Yuma glared at the dragon with deadly momentum.
‘Is that crazy little dragon trying to kill people? Isn’t it just a threat?’
Same with Zecca and Marlon. When the situation was understood, they also put a blue aura on Yurix and Cybeline and corrected their posture.
“No matter how much you are a dragon, you are not infinite! Let’s not think about going back to live in Matan.”
“sympathy. What if Ji is a dragon?
Go crazy!”
The two were breathing in perfect harmony. Marlon jumped forward as soon as he finished speaking, and Zecca ran after him.
This time, Yuma didn’t even have the conversation in mind. He shot magic to tell him to die first, but he didn’t have to back down just because the opponent was a dragon.
“I’ll drop it, so take a seat and wait!”
Gooooo…!
When he opened the sword eye, a sphere grew near Yuma.
By that time, the dragon seemed to be changing its position, but when Yuma reached out and threw a sphere to come back, he had no choice but to dance for a moment.
Quaang! Quarreung!
The sphere was blocked by the dragon’s shield and exploded. However, Yuma didn’t care and continued to speak.
It’s because if you give him a chance to fly, he can run away or take an advantageous position.
No matter how strong the three of them were, they couldn’t fully demonstrate their skills against the dragon floating in the sky. Once you have to somehow make it fall to the ground, it will become a fight.
‘Ha shield? Let’s see who gets tired first…!’
Auror spheres larger than a human head were continuously shot into the sky. Grinding their teeth and firing more than 20 Auror spheres, the dragon took a step back first.
It is to remove the shield and quickly turn around to prepare for flight.
The dragon planned to get out of the seat and blow a breath from a higher altitude.
“Jacka Malone!”
Yuma deployed her swift speed and ran toward them.
Nothing was promised in advance, but they moved organically as if they had come together in advance. As Yuma approached, the two of them bent their knees at the same time, preparing to make Yuma leap.
“good!”
“Drop it!”
As Yuma stepped into their palms, the two threw Yuma as hard as they could. It would have been impossible if it were not for the superpowers of the advanced sword masters.
In an instant, Yuma’s body floated into the sky. It was not possible to fully reach the height of the dragon, but it was enough to feed Aura Blaird with a direct hit.
“Kaaaaah!”
It was a spirit full of anger at the sudden attack.
Ascalon, which shone with a sword, cut a piece of the sky. The rapidly spreading Aura Blaird ferociously stained the front of the dragon.
The dragon couldn’t help but be embarrassed when he faced Blaird, who was coming in like a dam.
The ‘humans’ he had learned in the land of dragons were never this strong.
Even if the dragon roared once, he knew that it was human beings to bleed all over the body and die one after another.
But these guys weren’t.
It wasn’t enough to get rid of the dragon magic he used as a surprise attack and break the shield, so he jumped right in front of him and swung his sword.
The aura blade he had just released with the help of Zecca and Marlon was a decisive blow for Yuma as well.
Yuma broke the aura blade and spread it as wide as possible to prevent the dragon from avoiding it.
In other words, it was an attack that had to be ‘blocked’ unconditionally.
And Yuma believed in his own destructive power. Other than Seruka steel, there was no longer anything that Yuma could not cut.
‘Even though we’re dragons, they looked down on us too much.’
Even if Yuma and Marlon had a one-on-one match with a tolerable dragon, there was no possibility.
Even my car, the weakest of the three, would be the same if the pidgin carta sealed in his chest lends his strength.
In particular, Yuma could be confident of a 10% win rate, unless he was a top-level dragon like Kriesha. The white dragon that attacked them chose the wrong opponent completely.
Yuma fell to the ground and smiled. It was because he was convinced that the dragon would inevitably suffer great damage.
“Where did you go!?”
Marlon suddenly turned his head around in a spirited manner.
“hmm?”
After landing on the floor, Yuma also confirmed that his Aura Blaird was flying high into the sky without cutting the dragon.
It was strange. The dragon, which had been spreading its wings in an intimidating way until just now, had disappeared.
“Ah!”
Then, out of nowhere, a woman’s scream was heard from the other side.
The three looked at each other’s faces, blinked their eyes, and then quickly ran in the direction of the sound.
There, a beautiful silver-haired girl collapsed, covering her mouth.
The girl shuddered as the party approached, unable to hide her trembling eyes.
‘ah!’
Only then did Yuma understand the situation.
The dragon escaped the situation by transforming into a human the moment Aura Blaird, which was unavoidable due to its original huge body, attacked him.
“huh? Why is there a girl in a place like this?”
“Are you not hurt? Just now, the road dragon has gone wild…
Zecca and Marlon didn’t seem to know that the girl was the white dragon that had just attacked them.
But when Yuma kindly pointed to the dragon heart embedded in her forehead, she immediately widened her eyes.
“no way? This little kid?”
“Yes, it is a dragon. They tried to kill us.”
“Nonsense! Oh, I can’t kill girls!”
“me too!”
All three of them lost their strength.
From all angles, she looks like a girl who is too thin to think of the bloody white dragon.
Whoa!
Yuma let out a sigh and sat down in front of the dragon.
“Let’s hear the story. Why did the dragon want to kill him? You attacked first, so you must be prepared.”
The dragon tried to avoid Yuma’s gaze and only frowned.
With just that one movement, Yuma seemed to be able to see her psychology.
Fear, shame, anxiety, anger, resentment, etc… It was so absurd that I couldn’t even speak.
“You… have put me to shame.”
“Ha me? When?”
“Didn’t you trick Rod into letting me run your errands?”
It was a completely unexpected answer.
“No, I have never cheated on Mahatrisha.”
“Do you think I was born as a dragon to run dirty people’s cigarette errands? Even if I am punished by Lord, I cannot wash away this shame without killing you!”
Tears welled up in the dragon’s big eyes when he said that. For Yuma, it was crazy and crazy.
“Are you trying to kill people just for that reason! Three of them!”
Yuma groaned and screamed.
It was because it reminded me of how dragons treated humans as numbers, not life, during the Dragon Horse War in the past.
Humans worship and respect dragons, but they look at humans with eyes inferior to those of worms.
From Yuma’s point of view, it was no different from the aristocratic bloodlineism.
Of course, there was a secret story related to the Tree of God and Sheltion that other races, including dragons, hated humans.
However, the secret story is literally a story that has not been revealed to the world.
Humans of the present age did not even know what the humans of the past had done.
It was not a history that humans erased themselves to cover up their evil deeds.
It was erased by dragons.
Because of this, modern humans did not even have a chance to apologize for the karma of their ancestors, and whenever they happened to encounter other races, they always had to suffer from contempt and hatred.
“Shame! Listen up, Dragon.
I have never cheated on your lord, nor have I shamed you. Even the cigarette delivery wasn’t my fault, but if you had been polite, I would have apologized!”
“No you wouldn’t!
I know humans well. I don’t know the subject, I’m full of greed, I don’t know how to be good! All of your species must be wiped out!”
“Don’t speak carelessly.”
“Whoa wait a minute. Both calmed down…
Marlon and Zecca scratched their heads, looking puzzled.
“…Now what are you going to do? Since I was caught off guard, will you kill me and make weapons out of my body? Or, as a proud dragon slayer, will you lay my corpse on your land?”
“I’m crazy. why do i do that? How the hell can you even think like that?”
“Are you the original kind of people?”
“I can’t speak. The bloodline nobles were rather awake.”
“Don’t compare me to you guys.
I… I. It is the most noble being.”
“Yes, you would. You are a noble dragon, and we are lowly, lowly humans. Even if I breathe in front of you, I would be committing a sin.”
“Yes, yes.”
Yuma put a hand on her forehead as if annoyed.
There was no way to know what the hell was going on with this clogged dragon.
The Dragon Lord was resentful of why he had made this messenger by having the dragon deliver cigarettes.
‘wait. There’s no way Lord didn’t know about this dragon’s personality. You must have known that this was bound to happen if you ordered cigarette delivery. There’s no way he created this situation without thinking.’
At that moment, Yuma vaguely guessed the reason why this white dragon decided to ‘deliver cigarettes’.
I thought that this white dragon’s “scheduled raid” might be a kind of test given by the Dragon Lord.
A test to change the way dragons look at humans until the dragon horse war begins.
In other words, make the dragons voluntarily help humans instead of helping humans by the Lord’s command…
Otherwise, Yuma couldn’t understand why the Lord had the dragon deliver cigarettes.
“It looks like your lord put me to the test… and you too.”
“Ha, do you dare to evaluate the Lord’s intentions?”
“Whatever you think, it’s up to you. I’ll let you go. Just go back. Let’s pretend that I’m returning the favors I’ve received from the other dragons to you out of mercy.”
“Do not lie! Are you going to let me go? Are you human?”
“That answer is wrong. I can let you go because I am ‘human’ .
If there were demons or ogres in this place, would they really let you go?”
The dragon couldn’t answer and just glared at Yuma.
“let’s go. Oh and I want to tell you this. You were able to avoid the moment of crisis by taking the form of the ‘human’ you hate so much, and after losing the fight, you survived because of my mercy as a human being. Think about it.”
Yuma and his friends boarded the Tulka again and started to leave. White Dragon couldn’t get out of his seat for a while and had to mend his shattered pride.
Meanwhile, the Dragon Lord, who had been watching all this through the eyes of the white dragon in the land of dragons, smiled quietly.
“I met the right person for Ariel. Yuma will not disappoint you, so I hope you will not disappoint Yuma either.”
Then he talked to himself like that and giggled for a while.
