Episode 47
Episode 23. Story of the Past Krisha did not know who Duran Jacques was. However, he only knew the founder of the name ‘Zach’, who owned Ascalon for the first time.
Crisa and Duran Zach got to know each other during the Dragon Horse War, and the original future was to build a close friendship.
“I did something disrespectful to Kriesha. sorry.”
said Yuma.
“no. But you are not Zach’s child.”
“Duran Jacques is my teacher.”
“Two of my own people are not just dead, so don’t worry. No, it was an existence that had to be destroyed.”
The existence that Chrisa was talking about was the Demon Dragon, Kujarato. Until Starbuster was created, the Dragonborn that Zach had kept for generations was Kujarato’s bone.
Yuma and Marlon had many things they wanted to ask, but they kept quiet. Kriesha put Ascalon back into Yuma’s scabbard.
“Come closer.”
Krisha gestured to Zecca.
Jeka took a few steps towards Krissa. As I got closer, I could feel that the demonic energy inside my body was naturally turning off, unlike when Hugo pressed it forcibly.
“omg?”
And I felt a new power in my body where demonic energy had completely subsided.
It was the kind of power I had never experienced before. It feels like a handful of clear wind is swimming through your body.
Anger-!
Light emanated from Kriesha’s palm.
Yuma and Marlon couldn’t even open their eyes properly because of the bright light.
Mysteriously, Zecca faced the light squarely and opened her eyes straight. It had to be so bright that it hurt my eyes, but somehow it just felt cozy and warm.
-Just look….
Kriesha’s voice came into Jeka’s head. It was a word with great power even in language itself.
Zecca stared at Krissa’s glowing palms like a man possessed.
Numerous scenes he had never seen before unfolded before Zecca’s eyes.
Part of her memory spurted from Krissa’s palm.
Even though it is only part of it, it is the memory of a blue dragon that has lived for thousands of years.
Zecca couldn’t comprehend most of the memories that came flooding in like waves. Just like seeing the river flowing in front of your eyes, you cannot know the source of all the streams.
However, when Kriesha’s ritual was over, Zeka was able to see what was inside her body. Why Kriesha didn’t leave the Golden Pagoda.
Zecca just stood there in a daze, mesmerized by tears.
Yuma and Marlon, not knowing exactly what had happened, looked at Zecca and Kriesha in a bewildered mood.
“You weren’t a demon…
Chrisa nodded quietly.
“But you can’t even be considered a half-dragon now. Did you see why that poor child was able to enter you?”
“I saw.”
It was my dragon that even Yuma couldn’t understand.
Zecca took a deep breath and thought of the things she could recognize in Kriesha’s memories.
The Golden Tower was like a prison where a blue dragon who loved a human woman was imprisoned.
The blue dragon’s name is Heart Rianu. He was Kriesha’s blood relative.
* * * Hatrianu falls in love with a human woman. And their daughter, the half-dragon, the fruit of love, was a child who inherited a frighteningly large amount of the dragon’s temperament.
The child did not easily adapt to the human world. This is because he formed most of his self in the golden tower where his parents were confined.
Grandmaster Pidgin Carta, well known as the ill-fated half-dragon, was the daughter of Hatria Inu, who was born in the Golden Pagoda.
It was no different that the people of the world gave her the name ‘Unfortunate Half-Dragon’.
Because she was not welcomed by either humans or dragons and eventually left for the demonic dimension.
Through Kriesha, Zecca was able to find out the real reason why Pidgin Karta left for the demon dimension.
When Pidgin Carta became an adult, he left the Golden Pagoda and headed for the world. Like her father, she fell in love with a human and gave birth to a child.
However, a human who recognized Pidgin’s power kidnapped her child.
to use that power.
Pidgin entered the war at the behest of humans. The child was in human hands and could not be resisted.
However, humans did not return the child to Pidgin even after the war ended. It was because he thought that the moment he gave it back, the blade of the grandmaster’s spear would point at him.
Eventually, the humans brainwashed Pidgin’s child, who was holding them hostage.
The brainwashed child did not return to Pidgin.
In the end, Pidgin left for the Pandemonium with extreme skepticism. Due to the dragon’s oath, he couldn’t even commit suicide.
As time passed, the country of humans who used pidgin was destroyed, and the bloodline of dragons gradually faded as generations passed.
Hatrianu’s wife gave birth to Pidgin Carta, Pidgin Carta gave birth to a child, and the child grew up and gave birth to a child, and then the child grew up and gave birth to a child
… It was so small that no one could recognize it.
And Pidgin Carta, who had a grudge in the demon realm, returned.
into Jeka’s body.
It was only possible because Zeka possessed the characteristics of a dragon, albeit weakly.
* * * Zecca couldn’t hold back her tears and sat down. It seemed that Pizin Carta’s pain was transmitted through his entire body.
“I also don’t know why the child returned to your body. Now that child has become something that cannot be called anything.”
“I am a child who has suffered for too long. I cannot fathom the depth of that grudge.”
Jecca had her eyes closed while Krissa spoke.
Yuma and Marlon also bowed their heads, feeling somewhat solemn.
“That child has already completely absorbed you, and if you forcefully take it out, you too will die.”
It was the same story that Hugo had said.
No matter how demonic power it was, even after being pierced through the abdomen by Caente’s beam of light, it could not be regenerated in an instant.
Even more so during the Hale Massacre, even though his arm was cut off and his heart pierced, he instantly regenerated the wound and swung his sword.
It was no longer the great grandmaster Pidgin Carta that dwelled inside Jeka’s body.
It’s just a powerful mass of resentment that urges you to destroy everything and kill it.
“You’ll have to carry me.”
Krissa cut through the air with her hand.
Then, a new dimension opened up in the air, and a long, beautiful spear rose out of it.
“Cybelin. It is a spear that my older brother Hatri Ainu made for him.”
Kriesha grabbed Sybelin with one hand and held it out to Zecca. When Zecca received the spear, Kriesha whispered a dragon word while placing her forehead on Zecca’s forehead.
– order. No one will be able to touch this spear except those you give permission to.
Cybeline shone brightly and resonated.
At that moment, black energy rose from Jeka’s body.
It wasn’t Auror.
The energy gradually changed into a human form, and soon let out a scream that seemed like it would tear your ears.
It was such a huge sound that it felt like the voice was rippling through the air. Yuma and Marlon hurriedly covered their ears.
Jiim!
A blue glare flickered in Krissa’s eyes.
Yongan. It was the identity of the power that Yuma had questioned whenever he met Hugo.
Crisa’s face touched the black energy.
The screams of the black energy gradually turned into sobs. The black aura, which had been in human form for a long time, gradually became smaller and changed into a lump of dust.
The black energy moved violently as if struggling to get away from Zecca’s body.
Crisa grabbed the black energy and put her hands together as if praying.
The black energy that had gathered in her hand slowly poured into Zecca’s chest. Like an hourglass turned over.
The black energy became like a small obsidian stone and was embedded in Zeka’s chest.
Zecca felt the demonic energy that flowed through her body gathered in the black jewel.
“This is the best. Sibelin will protect you, Zeka, from that child.”
And Jeka fainted.
Kriesha sighed and knelt down and stroked the fainting Zecca’s head.
“Thank you, Kriesha.”
Yuma said to Chrisa. Marlon also nodded to Krissa from the side.
“The burden of dragons was passed on to young humans.”
“I don’t know what happened. But if Kriesha-sama did this, this would be the best.”
Krissa didn’t answer for a moment and looked at Zecca.
“This child is no longer immortal like before. If this child dies with a grudge, it will combine with Pidgin’s grudge and become an even greater disaster.”
Yuma could understand the hidden meaning behind Chrisa’s words.
In fact, he meant that it would be best to get rid of Pidgin Carta and kill them both now.
“I made an appointment with Jecca. I’ll get you out of hell.
Today, thanks to Kriesha, I have half-fulfilled that promise.”
Krissa shifted her gaze to Yuma.
“We plan to faithfully implement the other half. Don’t worry too much.”
“You can feel the wrinkles on your forehead.”
“ah.”
These were the words Hugo said when he saw Yuma in the Dragon’s Eye on the first visit from the Black Wolf Headquarters.
“I feel grateful to Zecca and you guys. If one day you encounter our people and you are in danger, name me.”
Kriesha touched Zecca’s face a few times and said goodbye to the group. As she had come, she parted the space and hid herself there.
When Zecca wakes up, Yuma and the others descend the Golden Tower.
When returning to Matan, they boarded the boats of the residents of Zubikan.
The residents demanded twenty silver coins as a fare.
“That old man only got five!”
Marlon burst into anger, but Yuma silently handed over the fare.
All the way to Port Ratts, Zecca only looked at Sibelin and said nothing.
He no longer had seizures.
At Lots Port, Yuma went back to where the old man’s boat had been. It was because he was concerned about whether he had returned safely to Port Ratts.
But there was no old man’s boat in the harbor.
“It was fun after a long time. See Kriesha-sama too.”
It was time to break up with Marlon.
He had to go to the Worgs in the Egon Mountains, and Yuma and Zeka had to take a carriage back to the imperial capital.
“I will see you again soon. Say thanks to Hugo.”
“You quickly find a bride and send it to me. If you can’t find it after 10 years and die from the boss, be sure to give me Ascalon. Don’t go around because Zecca is so downhearted.”
“A worthless bastard. Go in.”
After Marlon left, Yuma and Zeka also got a carriage to go to the Empire.
It took five days by carriage to reach the Empire.
The night before Hale’s arrival, Zecca and Yuma walked around while the coachmen pitched their tents.
It was only then that Zecca started talking to Yuma about her memories that Kriesha had shown her.
After hearing the story, Yuma was able to understand what had happened between Kriesha and Zecca in the Golden Pagoda.
“I never thought my mother would have been a distant descendant of Pidgin Carta. I honestly don’t know what to do next.”
“Huh”
, Yuma thought that he must have felt helpless.
“Anyway, someone intentionally put Pidgin Carta’s grudge on your body. We have to find him first.”
“How do I find it?”
“I must avenge you, not Pidgin Carta. Haven’t you been taking pictures all this time?”
The Akan Kingdom, which used Pidgin Carta, had already been destroyed, so it was impossible to take revenge.
Also, although they are ancestors, it was not the age that Zecca could realize enough to pay the grudge instead.
“I have no clues. It’s just frustrating.”
“I think Hayes is the most likely. First of all, let’s build up strength. The enemy doesn’t know when, where, or how to meet them.”
“after.”
“Just follow me.”
Yuma patted Zecca on the shoulder and said.
