Episode 160
Original Form
In the end, Manuel knelt and bowed his head.
“I lost, master.”
The guy, completely devastated, meekly admitted his defeat to me.
[Mutation Magic: One Horn]
With a dazzling flash, he returned to his original form.
And it even showed me a slight bend in its front leg.
-I pledge forever to be the white bridge that will carry you.
It was a very touching line.
But other unicorns also began to agree with him.
One by one, they changed back to their original form and bowed their heads deeply towards me and the knights.
“….”
After retrieving the Hebiod, I quietly nodded.
‘Now it really feels like the event is over.’
Unicorns, which had a source of magical power inside the cone, were instinctively reluctant to expose their true form.
When they lived spread out across the continent, there were hunters who specialized in their horns, because revealing their true bodies was dangerous for unicorns.
‘Of course, it is equipped with illusion magic to hide the horn, but it is still uneasy.’
Therefore, they mostly maintain human form.
The only thing they could do was show their true form in front of their king, Hernan, or a woman…
but now they were kneeling down, revealing their true form.
And one more thing.
“Hehehe…!”
Hernan, the king of the unicorns.
He was watching Manuel’s fight with me from afar and was laughing.
“Do you think that drinking alcohol isn’t enough? So you captured the hearts of the unicorns by showing inaction like this. “It seems like you really enjoy perfectionism.”
…Well, that’s not necessarily true.
“As their king, I, Hernan, will guarantee this. “These twenty-five unicorns will be your loyal horns and legs from now on.”
‘Become horns and legs….’
It literally meant ‘complete obedience.’
You will no longer see unicorns attacking you insolently.
Since their king personally guaranteed it, it applied to everyone in the party, including me.
I grinned at Hernan.
“Thank you.”
And then he quickly turned towards the unicorns.
“So now it’s time to choose?”
After winning the battle, it was our turn to choose our words.
At that time, I could feel Manuel’s big eyes moving.
-….
In the meantime, the guy was looking at Hael and Vinokaras.
‘He’s such a shameless guy.’
If possible, he would like to be chosen by the two most beautiful female owners.
As his attitude became more polite, he didn’t say anything outwardly, but his eyes were clearly visible.
I sighed.
“Hey man. “Just do it in moderation.”
-…What do you mean by that?
“Ugh, this makes me sound like a colt.”
-…Hmm!
When I clicked my tongue, Manuel quickly lost his cool.
Looking closely, the larger and well-grown the adult was, the more it rolled its eyes as it wanted to go to its female owner.
but.
‘Yeah, it’s not even a guess, right?’
I decided to teach these sneaky bastards a lesson.
So I gestured to my companions.
“The officers take whatever I choose. The same goes for Hael Vinocaras. “Everyone has no objections, right?”
Of course, the reactions of my drivers were the same.
“doesn’t exist.”
“doesn’t exist!”
There was a hierarchy within the Blue Flame Knights itself, but it was thanks to the strong discipline they developed through the drinking party.
Hael also didn’t complain.
“Still, I want you to do this.”
However, he lowered his voice and told me his opinion.
“Okay, I’ll do that.”
It wasn’t a big deal, so I nodded.
But Vinocaras was a little different.
“Why! “There was a guy I liked!”
I was very embarrassed by the guy’s sudden shout.
“Do you have a favorite unicorn? now? among these?”
“huh!”
Thanks to this, the unicorns’ eyes began to sparkle excessively, and I fell into frustration and despair.
“Pi Yong…. This dad isn’t mentally ready yet….”
Oh my god! I can’t believe there’s someone I like among these damn colts!
That was truly shocking news.
This is probably how a father feels when he is introduced to his daughter’s boyfriend, right?
“…Oh what?”
But Vinokharas frowned.
“A guy I like as prey! “There is someone else who has a lot to eat from me!”
“…ah.”
So my daughter was a dragon, right?
“Okay then.”
I nodded absentmindedly.
-You clearly said that you were prey just now…?
-You didn’t hear it wrong, right?
The unicorns, feeling ominous, began to stir.
And that was when Vinocaras revealed his true presence.
[Special Magic: Dragon Body Transformation]
Quad Deuk….
The girl began to throw off her body and reveal the dragon’s body.
This time, it was not the power of predation using the dragon’s eye, but the intention was to completely take out the dragon’s body and swallow the prey properly.
-De de Dragon…!
Thanks to this, the unicorns went into an uproar.
-Aaaah! A dragon has appeared! It’s a black black dragon!
-I thought she was just a pretty girl! That wasn’t it, it was a dragon!
-Everyone run away! Move! Get out of the way! You colts!
They were making a fuss, like rats meeting a cat.
‘Oh, it shouldn’t be like this, right?’
I came to my senses late and gave an order to the unicorns.
“Stop all the movement. Five rows gathered in front of me. practice.”
Then the unicorns gathered in front of me, trembling.
But everyone was busy watching Vinocaras.
-You’re sure you’re not really trying to use us as horse meat, are you? Oh my, I have no taste!
-He’s a great dragon. He’s probably plump and delicious! Half muscle, half fat! It’s the golden ratio!
-Hey, you crazy guy!
…Oh, my mind is so crazy.
“Everyone be quiet!”
I stopped Vinokharas, who were gorging, and Unicorns, who were terrified.
We began to carefully organize traffic.
“Vinokaras, you pick who you want. But you can’t eat it.”
-Can’t I eat it? why? Do you want to eat?
“I’m gaining weight.”
-….
In fact, the reason was that eating unicorns or orcs was not particularly beneficial to the dragon’s growth.
It was a waste to eat a unicorn that could be useful as a means of transportation.
Of course, Piyong protested.
-Oh my! I was so curious about the taste of that big guy that I resisted attacking him! I was going to eat it after getting permission from my dad!
Then the complexion of one of the unicorns turned noticeably white.
It was Junipero who had been hit by my fist and thrown into the wall.
-Ooooooo….
Junipero was one of the princes and a particularly large one among the unicorns.
It seemed like the guy, trusting only his physique, fearlessly jumped into the room where I was sleeping and even started a war of nerves with Hael.
And as a result, it ended up attacking the dragon without knowing how to do it.
Suddenly it looked like horse meat.
Rattling…
Right now, Junipero looked like he wanted to run out immediately, even if it meant swearing allegiance.
But I shook my head.
“Now listen carefully. Piyong?”
I told him about the plan I had been thinking about.
-Oooh! Is that really true?
“Then of course.”
-Are you really saying that? and! I’m really looking forward to it!
Vinokharas started talking excitedly.
-…?
I don’t know why, but thanks to me, Junipero was spared the burden of horse meat.
-Phew…. Thank you so much for saving me, master!
The guy bowed his head to me and expressed his gratitude.
I laughed quietly.
“What are you thankful for?”
…without even knowing my plans.
It didn’t take long for me to assign the unicorns to the knights.
And when it was finally done.
-What is this?
-Hmm, it’s very small and beautiful?
-The round thing is pretty cute, but what is it?
Only questions appeared on the faces of the three princes, including Manuel.
* * *
The members of the Blue Flame Knights dispersed to spend time with their assigned unicorns.
Of course, they were knights skilled in horsemanship, but unicorns were completely different from ordinary horses.
So I had to give myself enough time to adapt.
In the meantime, I returned to the shelter provided by Hernan and tried to get some rest.
But bad news came.
“Goddess Kissiris wants to meet you.”
Hernan chased me and said that.
“….”
The goddess of deception who is obsessed with me.
She was also showing interest in me through Hernan, a member of her household.
Of course I shook my head.
“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that.”
But the King of Unicorns was a formidable opponent.
“huh? “I just heard it. Why are you saying you didn’t hear it?”
“No, that’s it…”
“Well, then, did I convey my message clearly? “Hehehehe!”
King Hernan pretended not to understand the human joke and unilaterally notified me and disappeared.
“…Hey.”
I ended up feeling like everything was going to happen.
Gilroshan giggled in his head.
-We are equally popular. Especially to ‘gods’.
We are popular with ‘God’….
I chuckled at this quite meaningful story.
“Okay, now that it’s a little quiet, shall we start talking again?”
When I suggested this, Gilroshan agreed.
-Okay, your story was quite interesting. You said ‘Dead God’ was playing a prank on us, right?
“okay.”
I nodded, carefully reviewing the memories of Gilroshan that had been passed down in my head.
It was purely by chance that Gilroshan met ‘Dead God’.
After losing his magic to his father, he tried every possible way to solve it himself.
The notoriety of being a royal bastard also arose during this process.
‘Because of his magic, he wandered outside of the palace and only slept in the emperor’s palace…’ Even if he was
misunderstood as having secretly left the palace and only drank alcohol, he had nothing to say.
And this was to some extent Giloshan’s intention.
‘…the magic was taken away by the emperor, the universal ruler of the empire.’
In this situation, performing as an incompetent prince in despair was the best way to ensure safety.
‘Then Gilroshan met this guy.’
…Dead God.
The man who claimed to be a dimensional wizard appeared before the 3rd prince in ‘Ascadir Ruins City’ in the northern part of the empire.
And he made a dangerous proposal to Gilroshan.
-There is only one way to lift the ban imposed on you and fulfill your destiny.
…an offer that Gilroshan could never refuse.
-And I know how. So what do you think? Would you trust me once and take a chance on your fate?
Using it as bait, he set a fishing rod to the unsuspecting prince.
No matter how doubtful it was, it was an offer I couldn’t refuse.
The story he told was simple.
– We are splitting a little of your soul and sending it to a place where you can have infinite knowledge about this world. And when that spirit returns…?
Although the Dead God did not reveal his face, it was clearly visible that his mouth was smiling.
-You will be able to overcome this dangerous world without difficulty. So what do you think? Isn’t this a great story?
…It smells.
‘It smells really bad.’
