Episode 331
Episode 110. Dragon Lord (1)
Aidan, who got the root, was literally immortal. Therefore, the only thing dragons could do to Aidan was torture, not actual death.
Aidan’s body began to become transparent after ten repetitions of mental collapse and forcible awakening.
And after some time, Aidan disappeared without a form.
It was as if her transparent body was soaked in light.
“What happened?”
“All the mana that formed the body was scattered into the air.
To compare it to an ordinary human body, it decayed and evaporated. Unlike in that case, he’s not dead, but that’s all.”
“Does that mean that if you’re not dead, you can be resurrected?”
“If I can escape the watchful eyes of the dragons.”
Aidan could be seen as a ghost made of magic.
He would disintegrate into countless magical particles and wander around the world meaninglessly, unable to escape the dragons’ watch.
It was a life that could never be considered better than death. Since the creation of mankind, no human has ever suffered a deeper punishment than Aidan.
“I have to take this child and leave immediately, Yuma.”
Kriesha was chained to the golden pagoda of Intsubikan because of the sins committed by her spirit family, the Hatri Ainu.
However, because of the situation, he temporarily escaped the Golden Tower.
So, while other dragons flew in, Kriesha opened the dimension and used a method close to teleportation.
It was something that only those with the strongest authority among the Balaur could do.
Moreover, Aidan disintegrated and all eight dragons slightly bowed their heads toward Kriesha.
Yuma also realized the dignity of Krisha, the guardian of the North Sea, and became solemn.
After returning, I received help from Krissa several times.
He saved Jeka, who was supposed to have died after causing the Hale massacre, and got a justification for punishing Hayes, and he just got information about Sor, and until today.
That’s all. Yuma thought that the real help he received from Chrisa was rather before the regression.
Yuma, who was a eunuch who couldn’t do anything, was able to save his life thanks to Kriesha.
Just like all mankind at that time did.
‘In the upcoming dragon horse war, I will make sure that this great dragon does not die in vain like that time.’
Yuma made that promise and met Kriesha’s eyes.
Krisha looked apologetic at having to leave right away with Ballinan.
“As I said before, I will personally supervise the child so that he can safely take the exam. I will definitely save the child and return it to you.”
“It is a sudden farewell. To be honest, I was also worried about having Barlinan continue to participate in this war.”
When Ballinan heard the word farewell, he put on a tearful expression as if the situation was more realistic.
His gaze turned to the direction where Natalie and Igor were lying behind Yuma.
“Please tell my brothers Natalie and Igor. You said I would protect you next time… and I’m sorry I couldn’t fight with you until the end.”
“You have already protected two people.
Same for me. Stop crying, the person who will make your lifelong dream come true.
Go take the test and don’t die. Because I don’t want to pretend to be with dragons.”
“To think that this tender-hearted child could be a companion to a strong child like you. Humans sometimes surprise dragons in that way. It is a human privilege to be friends with anyone and enemies with anyone.”
“We do sometimes, but dragons always surprise humans.”
When Yuma answered with a smile, Kriesha cut open the dimensional door with her fingertips. It was a dimension leading to the land of the Balaur.
“I will tell the dragons to take your people and release them. You stay here and see Lord. I’m sorry we couldn’t talk more.”
As Kriesha commanded, the bodies of those who had fallen rose one by one into the air. Nearly forty injured people were divided and carried on the backs of eight dragons.
It was spectacular.
However, Yuma’s eyes were not on the wounded on the backs of dragons, but on the dead magicians. Ballinan couldn’t take her eyes off them either.
“It’s too bad that I couldn’t talk more, Miss Krisha.”
“Why don’t you see Rod instead? It was the first time Lord had ever met a human face-to-face in the last thousand years, so it would be an honor to know. Oh, when you go back to your room, say hello to Zecca.”
“I hope to be able to do it again in the near future. Have a good day, Ballinon.”
“Okay, I’ll be back.”
Callus-covered Yuma’s fist collided with Ballinan’s clean fist.
As Kriesha entered the portal, the dragons began flapping their wings vigorously.
The dragons carried the wounded and flew towards the ranks where the allies were clearing the way.
Once again, there was a subject matter for bards about Yuma.
One of Yuma’s titles, ‘Herald of the Balaur’, would now be clearer than before.
Yuma stared at his back for a while, then naturally put his hand in his chest. It was to find the pipe.
However, during the battle, the coat burned out, leaving not a single piece of fabric left, and the only thing that could be touched was Nightmare’s metal.
Just then, someone right next to him held out a pipe to Yuma.
The hand that took the pipe and looked at it casually was indescribably white, as if it were made of snowflakes.
It was the hand of the Dragon Lord Mahatrisha.
“omg!”
Yuma shook her head in surprise. I couldn’t even guess when and where it came from.
Dut Mahatrisha, who had been there from the beginning, only smiled.
It was the first time he had seen the Dragon Lord from such a close distance.
Even before the return, I only saw the back of it flying very far away just once.
‘That day was the day when the Dragon Lord self-destructed with Sekmeira, the demon of the underworld, and put an end to the terrible Dragon Horse War… The
Dragon Lord in human form was in the form of a woman. It was the moment when Yuma’s expectations of being implicitly male were overturned.
The reason why Yuma thought the dragon lord was male was because of what Marlon had said while handing over the fruit of the return before returning.
– Mahatrisha says that if you eat this, your chili might grow back? but die
-Sir Malone No, what nonsense is that? When you die, you get a pepper, but what do you do?
-It’s just the two of us, but respectful words.
He said that the red pepper might come back, but if you’re unlucky, it might not.
– Hey, you bastard. Are you kidding me for not having that?
-It’s a joke, and it’s a fruit that takes you back at least 10 years. But I don’t know when that time is. It’s up to luck.
I’m sure you said something like that. The peppers are coming back,
so what?
As I looked into Mahatrisha’s eyes, I felt like I was losing my mind for a moment. I even felt a flower sprouting in my chest.
Could it be that people misunderstood the Dragon Road as Sebo, the goddess of beauty?
That thought came to mind, but Yuma remembered that the dragon in front of him was an existence that he couldn’t stare at just because it was beautiful.
“Did you think you were committing a sin by looking at me like that? haha no need to I’m a tougher child than I look. What is the pipe you’re biting on so blankly? Come here, I will light a fire for you.”
As Yuma leaned down with a shy face, a drop of fire from her finger fell into the pipe.
“It is made of leaves that cannot be obtained in the human world. If you like the scent, I’ll send you a few boxes to the Puang Merchant. A child outside the realm.”
“yes?”
It was something that Yuma had no choice but to ask so stupidly. He couldn’t even imagine hearing that he would send tobacco leaves as soon as he met the Dragon Lord.
However, he could not deny that the unbelievable fragrant smell of cigarettes rang through his body.
“Then thank you.”
Responding coldly, Yuma thought that he should hold on to his spirit.
With just a few random words of conversation, the Dragon Lord had already overwhelmed him.
Her tone seemed light, but in her actions, I felt a grace that I couldn’t even describe.
No, it wasn’t just grace.
Lightness, liveliness, beauty, sadness, sharpness, etc. By simply breathing and exhaling, Mahatrisha was a being who could reveal all of them at once.
However, even among the dragons, even Lords, it was necessary to be wary of unexpected favors from the first meeting.
“Yuma Drake You can treat me like a comfortable friend. Haha, you don’t have to be so stiff. Just because you killed my partner.”
Cough Coke Cough!”
It felt right that I was punching my head incessantly. Yuma only opened his eyes wide as he spoke to the audience at the mention of the performance.
‘Company…’? Sheltion?’
Suddenly, Mahatrisha put a hand on Yuma’s shoulder. And the next voice he heard had a deeper sadness than any voice Yuma had ever heard in his life.
To the point where even Yuma would shed tears without even realizing it.
“So what story did he leave me…?”
Strangely, the tears didn’t stop. As if he had personally experienced the death of a loved one, Mahat Risha’s sorrow was conveyed to Yuma.
So Yuma was afraid to open her mouth and convey what Maha Trisha had left.
“I was ready to forgive at any time, but you never came to visit me…
That was Sheltion’s will to Yuma.
Yuma bit her lip when she said that, and Mahatrisha smiled lightly.
At that moment, Yuma’s tears stopped.
The burning sadness in my heart disappeared in an instant. That’s because Mahat Risha was considerate of Yuma and prevented her emotions from resonating.
If humans see the existence of the Dragon Lord, they will send endless worship to that great being.
However, the emotion that Yuma now felt while looking at Mahatrisha was pity.
The loneliest creature in the world.
The Dragon Lord was such an existence.
“I see. It’s the last one like that. No matter how much you hate it, a rejection is a rejection.
And there is an enemy who killed my partner in front of me… What do you do with this?”
It was a playful voice. Yuma did not answer and waited for Mahatrisa’s next words.
“Originally, release all the dragons in the most brutal way in the world, very very painfully! It would be natural to take revenge, but if you do one favor of mine, that sin will be forgiven. Do you see what I mean?”
“May I ask what Lord wants?”
“Ahaha, I’m embarrassed if you take it seriously, child.
It’s not a big request, so don’t worry. It’s just a matter of dealing with one god.”
Isn’t that a great request? I wanted to ask half, but Yuma politely asked if he was referring to Hwa.
“answer! That’s something no one can do, let alone dragons.
That is, unless it exists outside the realm. I don’t like children outside the other realms for some reason. kinda like that.”
“Are there other humans outside the realm besides me?”
“Then there are two more. even stronger than you But in my eyes, you look the most special among them.”
“Resol?”
“yes! Who is the other one?”
There was no rising human. In the first place, the only human beings who could be said to be stronger than Yuma were now Hugo and Duran, but they seemed unlikely.
And Yuma heard an answer he never thought of.
“Haider, the master of the abyss. That child was originally a human outside the realm. So stay away from the Underworld and stay closer to the dragons.”
