#430. let’s get along
* * *
Woo-woo-woo-deuk!
Silver scales covering the wound.
Two sharp horns.
A tail protruding from the butt.
That scene is rather metamorphosis than transformation.
It was a fantastic figure like a butterfly waking up after taking off its cocoon.
And among them, the only thing that stood out was a pair of wings that soared while tearing the back of the jacket.
Cheer up!
transparent like crystal.
Brilliantly bright and clean.
But without feathers or skin.
Wings with only transparent bones sticking out like blades.
Its shape is so sharp and dangerous that it looks more like icy thorns than wings.
That’s not ugly.
Rather the opposite, to put it bluntly.
Brilliant like a jewel, yet breathtakingly disproportionate like glass, they were showing off a delicate beauty like a peerless sculpture.
“■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■!”
The moment your lips parted.
What erupted was a strange roar.
It echoed as if the moment had been stretched far away, but it also resonated as if a long song was compressed and released in an instant.
At the same time, it was pure instinct that filled that vertically split pupil.
It was the gaze of an infinitely savage and impulsive beast in which not even a trace of reason could be found.
It was a natural result.
Now, instead of resonating with the seven dragons and psionics, she has been forcibly transformed into a dragon by stimulating the dragon’s true blood with self-harm instead of performing the ancestral return.
There was no way he could maintain his reason even after drawing out the dragon’s power with such an expedient.
Paperweight!
Instead, the effect was clear.
A little while ago, the black pattern that dominated her half body from her left arm to her left cheek.
The demon’s curse was quickly pushed away by the massive psionic, and it disappeared as a handful of black smoke.
But Yekathrice was not satisfied.
She turns her head after her chirping, baring her teeth as if she is displeased with even being smeared with such filth.
Was it a reaction to evil energy?
Or, even with only her instincts left, she remembered that it was the demon that cursed her.
At the end of her wriggling and puffing shadows.
bristling her sharp wings.
holding her white hand.
the moment she moved.
Aaaaaang!
The shadow that was huge like a mountain was torn to pieces.
* * *
“…Did you do it anyway?”
A white-haired young man who took a step back to avoid being swept away by the runaway.
Limon put on a complex expression as he watched the shadow tear away like toilet paper whenever the silver light flashed.
Of course, he is the nemesis of the Seven Dragons.
As he had fought several times over hundreds of years, he was also used to the dragon princess.
Yet at this moment.
There is one reason why Limon couldn’t help but look at Yekathrice tearing up the shadow.
It was the first time I had ever seen a princess deliberately harming herself to draw out the dragon’s power.
‘I’m really out of my mind.’
Yonghwa is a double-edged sword.
Instead of gaining strong power, it is a last resort that can even shorten your lifespan.
That’s why it was rare to even use it unless your life was at risk or your clan was in danger of being annihilated.
But no matter how urgent the situation is.
Instead of sharing the burden by resonating with the Seven Dragons and the psionics, they forcibly evolved through self-harm.
Even as Limon, who has met countless princesses over hundreds of years…
No, because he was like that, it was a crazy thing that I had never imagined.
It was more so in that this was done not to protect his life or his clan, but to save the citizens of Moscow.
Kwakwawang!
‘Although it seems to have an effect for now.’
Is it because of that madness though?
He seems to have been lying about what he had been avoiding all this time.
Limon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Yekatrice, who was crushing the shadows hundreds of times in an instant at a speed that could not be seen.
Even if it is not completely revived, the appearance of playing with the demons in the world is truly overwhelming.
It was a majesty worthy of a descendant of a dragon.
However, seeing the one-sided fight, Limon frowned.
‘What were you thinking, crazy princess?’
The shadow is just the demon’s shell.
No matter how much you tear it apart, it only serves to buy time, and as long as it doesn’t damage the godhead, you can’t kill the demon.
Even if you kill the Demon God, a huge disaster will happen.
But what did Yekathrice believe in and set out to defeat the Demon God?
It was incomprehensible.
Including the fact that now that she has been forcibly transformed, there is no way she will have the ability to judge properly.
That’s why, even now, when Limon was struggling with whether to subdue the runaway Yekatrice and slash the Demon God.
Kwajijik!
The shape of the fight has changed.
The moment you want the size of the shadow to be sufficiently reduced.
Following the silver flash that moved like lightning, white frost began to form.
‘That one?’
The temperature drops rapidly as the area of frost expands.
And Limon narrowed his eyes as he saw pillars of ice piercing the shadows, rising one after another along the silver trail.
What is Yekathrice’s intention?
Because I realized it now.
‘Am I going to seal the demon?’
Limon groaned.
To say that he was going to seal the great god among the great gods.
It was an absurd atrocity.
But the most absurd thing was the fact that the attempt actually worked.
In fact, the movement of the shadow was rapidly slowing down as much as the ice pillars rose.
And with the super senses of a sword master, he quickly realized the non-trick of Yekathrice.
‘…It’s not really a demon, but it’s going to freeze the entire time around here.’
That pillar of ice wasn’t just a crystal of cold air.
The cold is just a by-product.
The real entity was a wedge of time that slowed down the surrounding time infinitely before freezing it and stopping even molecular motion.
A member of the silver dragon clan who handles time manipulation.
It was also an amazing feat that was possible because the silver dragon princess with vast psionics had evolved.
‘Is it possible to do something like this while in a state of runaway?’
That’s why Limon couldn’t help but be more amazed.
I don’t know if I wrote a sijo retracement.
The princess who has become a dragon through runaway can freely use vast psionics, but cannot use the seventy-two types.
However, to achieve such delicate control of psionics without the use of infallibility.
It was an outrageous talent.
‘It’s reckless.’
But Limon hardened his face.
If Yekathrice succeeds in sealing it, she should be able to bind the demon even for a few days.
In the meantime, if the citizens of Moscow are evacuated, the best result may be to exterminate the Demon God without any damage.
The problem was that it was an absurd gamble.
Is it really possible to seal the Demon God?
Wouldn’t he be resurrected before then?
Even if the seal is successful, will it buy time for all citizens to evacuate?
Considering all her possibilities, the odds of what she was doing were extremely low.
Considering the characteristics of the silver dragon clan, it was even more so.
In fact, his intuition was telling him that he had to cut the demon right away.
‘I’d rather intervene now, but…’
Still, there is one reason why Limon hesitates.
The fact that Yekathrice was doing such a reckless thing was itself.
Now she is in a state of reason.
Originally, she would have either recklessly fought the demon god or ran away prioritizing her survival.
Even so, the fact that she dared to try to seal her Demon God meant that she was instinctively trying to protect the citizens of Moscow.
Is it because of possessiveness?
Whether it’s because of madness.
I wonder if it was the blue dragon princess, but the silver dragon princess risked her life to fight to protect people.
It was hard to believe even after seeing it.
And the reason this happened was obvious.
Unlike the previous Silver Dragon Princesses, who always wandered the world as plunderers because they were princesses of the Demonic Cult, Yekathrice ruled the Russian Khanate as a dictator her entire life.
In doing so, she came to her instincts to regard her people as her own property.
‘Right.’
The moment you understand that far.
Limon felt a certain deja vu.
He lived a long life and went through several times, but each time it was a new sensation.
He closed his eyes in the feeling that the things he had taken for granted were not taken for granted and everything became unfamiliar.
‘Have the times changed?’
According to Limon’s own line, it was right to cut down the demon god at any cost.
However, the reason Yekathrice treats this country as her property is because Limon has long tolerated the Silver Dragon clan’s dominion over this country.
It was because of the oppression of the sword.
Going back, it was also the result of his teaching swordplay.
In other words, it means that it is Limon’s own karma that Yekatriche is risking her life to fight to stop the demon.
And taking responsibility for his own karma was also a line that Limon had to keep.
two lines.
two right.
Of the two, he didn’t know which one to choose.
Because he hadn’t prioritized these two lines yet and had no answers in his life in the first place.
then….
* * *
Kwajik Kwajik!
Even while Limon was agonizing, Yekatrice continued to create pillars of ice, and the movement of her shadow slowed down as well.
…until the movement of Yekathrice, which seemed like a flash from a certain moment, suddenly became dull.
It was unavoidable.
Time manipulation, capable of speeding up time hundreds of times, is the most mysterious of all psionics, but it consumes an enormous amount of power.
Of course, if you abuse it, your stamina will be exhausted quickly.
To the extent that even the near-infinite psionics that the princess was born with were exhausted.
In a short moment, they can surpass even the Golden Dragon clan, but in a long-term battle, they become weaker than the White Dragon clan, the weakest member of the Seven Dragons.
So face-to-face.
Not one-to-many or runaway.
A clan that thoroughly specialized in short-term warfare.
That was the silver dragon clan.
That is why the Silver Dragon Princess could not be the strongest of the Seven Dragons, and even though she had a draw with Swordswoman in the past, she eventually ran away.
Because it was the destiny of the Silver Dragon clan to lose if they couldn’t win in an instant.
and this moment.
The fate of the Silver Dragon clan became shackles and held Yekathrice’s ankles.
“Kyaaaak!!”
As if resentful of his fate.
Yekathrice tried to create a pillar of ice again with a ferocious shout.
However, no matter how much he squeezed, the exhausted psionic flowed out like a brook in a drought and never regained its original flow.
And it seems that he was only aiming for this opportunity.
The suddenly activated shadows exploded and grew.
The moment when he was about to swallow the entire ice pillar that Yekathrice had driven into her.
Chow!
“…Anyway, it seems that it is the younger sister’s destiny to make her older brother suffer.”
A ray of light flashes.
The whole shadow that had risen like a tidal wave was split.
Perhaps because Limon’s sudden intervention was so unexpected.
I hesitated for a while when I saw Limon.
Encroached by the rampaging dragon’s instinct, Yekathrice stretched out her blade-like wings and attacked Limon.
widely!
But it’s just a futile attempt.
Limon easily dodged Yekathrice’s wings, which had already run out of psionics and were ridiculously slow.
Then, after holding onto his swinging hand, he let out a sigh.
“Given your determination to risk your life, I will at least stay with you until this absurd gamble is over.”
Maybe it’s because I couldn’t understand the words because only my instincts were left.
Limon strode towards the girl who struggled, showing her teeth like a cat seeing a dog.
So, suddenly, a question mark appeared in Yekathrice’s eyes, which were split vertically at the touch of her chin.
“So finish what you started, you crazy brother.”
back.
“…?!?!”
on the soft lips.
Another pair of lips overlapped.
Yekathrice’s tail rose upright.
