Chapter.42

Thanks to my long-cherished wish, the elder began to laugh louder as he truly accepted my poor performance.

“Human. This is your last chance! “If you don’t want to die, hand over the beads!”

Then he gave an ultimatum in an arrogant tone. At the same time, Lurin whispered next to me with a puzzled look on her face.

“you. “I really can’t teleport.”

“are you okay. There is no need for teleportation at all now. “You just have to stick close.”

“That’s my specialty!”

Is sticking around your specialty?

Rurin clung closer to me with a confident look on her face.

It’s definitely a specialty.

After confirming Lulin’s special skills again, he looked at the red dragon again and sprinkled some seasoning for the climax of the play.

“Are you telling me to hand over my marbles if I don’t want to fight?”

“Yes. Do you see this number? “Do you know that even you can’t survive?”

“But you’re going to die too, right? Comrade Gil, I will make as many as possible, right?”

“You insolent human being! “Are you saying it’s okay for that kid there to die?”

“… … .”

I secretly pretended to look at Lulin.

To what extent do you plan to go so low? It is truly of such a low quality that it cannot be tolerated.

I looked at Lulin earnestly, as if to show them off. Even if everything else is just acting, the earnest eyes are real.

Because it is possible to desperately look at Rurin in any situation.

“Huh?”

Lulin tilted his head and at the same time turned his gaze back to Red Dragon.

He pretended that he couldn’t win because of Lurin and declared that he was surrendering.

“Then I can’t help it. I’ll give it to you. So are you releasing the barrier?”

“If you just let it go, don’t do that.”

“How can you believe that?”

I asked, acting a little weak. He cast a wary look at the red dragons. To them, it will look like a rabbit that has successfully hunted.

“I know your skills. We also do not want unnecessary damage. “It doesn’t matter what happens to you and that kid, as long as we get the beads!”

“Then there’s nothing we can do.”

The play is too contrived. So I just said it was over. He took out the red dragon bead from his pocket and threw it.

Besides, what do you know about my skills?

It is important that information is always up-to-date. When are you talking about the enemy ‘me’?

The Red Dragon elder looked at the bead in fascination and then winked. Then Lurin whispered again.

“you. Now you can teleport!”

I guess so. For their goal, it would be difficult if their numbers were to be reduced needlessly by fighting with me here.

Red Dragon, who received the bead, spoke out a villain-like line as expected.

“Human. If I see you again, the only thing that will happen is death! “Know the subject and act!”

“Of course. what.”

I nodded and spoke to Rurin.

“Lurin, let’s get out of here for now. “Teleport anywhere nearby.”

This is a device that makes it look as if you are running away in a hurry.

From what they see, Lulin and I are just busy trying to survive.

You have to act like that until the end.

Don’t let your guard down.

“i get it.”

Lurin nodded, and thanks to that, the darkness encroached on us and the unsightly red dragons disappeared right in front of our eyes.

They will soon lead a large army to the Black Dragon.

Because that’s their top goal.

So, the first plan was to retreat from the sacred site and follow behind secretly.

***

A fight between dragons.

But it’s a huge majority.

Black Dragon was clearly being pushed back. What you’re dealing with are multiple red dragons.

It was already covered in blood.

He was clearly lynched and thrown to the ground without the strength to fly. The reason I didn’t run away earlier was to prove that they were the culprits, even if it meant dying.

When he saw only one young red dragon, he looked down on him and chased him, but instead he got caught in a trap and ended up in this situation.

The one who inflicted such a blow on him was the Red Dragon right in front of him.

At first glance, it was an ancient dragon.

Black Dragon gathered all his strength and released his breath towards the dragon in front of him.

It was a powerful breath that could easily destroy a village, but the opponent was also a dragon.

As he punished Breath with Breath, a powerful wind blew around him due to the high-energy collision.

Kwaang-!

Along with the shock wave generated as a result of the collision, the two energies canceled out and disappeared, making Black Dragon frown even more.

“You stay still.”

The ancient dragon Liheim opened his mouth, holding back the young dragon Sitni, who had blocked the black dragon’s breath.

“As expected, it was you guys. I should have noticed this sooner! “Despicable bastards.”

His body was already in tatters.

The direct hit from the ancient dragon in front of me was so powerful. Thanks to this, I couldn’t even use my mana properly. The only thing that can be used is breath.

Blood pours out.

The only hope is teleportation.

However, he was so shocked that it was difficult to collect mana. So, somehow, I started to gather mana by talking.

“If you realized what we did, did you also realize that we had to die? “Young dragon.”

“Even if I die, I will clear my name and die!”

“This is all for the future of dragons. Wouldn’t it be convenient to think of it as a holy sacrifice? “I’m just telling you to die quietly.”

“Holy sacrifice? It’s funny. “Can you explain to me where the word ‘holy’ appears in your dirty work?”

“There’s no need for that. Just think of it as fertilizer for our red dragons, to put it in human terms.”

“Stop talking nonsense!”

Black Dragon could not bear it anymore and used his breath again. However, unlike Sitni before, Lee Haim lightly knocked away Black Dragon’s breath.

It’s not an ancient dragon for nothing.

It is also an ancient dragon that ranks second to the Red Dragon. Of course it was strong.

Otherwise, there would be no way you would be suffering from a fatal injury.

But the important thing is that they have now admitted it with their own mouths.

You can die.

I don’t care if I die.

If only I could clear my name and wash away the injustice. That way, his daughter Lurin will also be proud.

So, knowing that the mystery culprit was Red Dragon, Black Dragon was desperately collecting mana, thinking that even if there was no evidence, the wise Dragon Lord would definitely determine the truth.

The aspiration to run away from here and clear my name.

Even if the fatal wound received from using too much force worsens and dies.

“That’s funny. You must be collecting mana? Are you saying you want to run away to a holy place? But still. “It would be best not to use teleportation, whether it is the Black Dragon’s sanctuary, your lair, or anywhere else.”

“Am I crazy? “This is the beginning!”

Black Dragon shouted with all his strength as blood poured out.

Fortunately, I was able to use teleportation. It just happened to be collected.

Now you can write it.

That’s it.

However, Black Dragon could not use teleportation. Because of Reheim’s line.

“I’m sorry, young man. So your daughter is the problem. “The moment you teleport from here, the remaining hatchlings in your rare will kill your daughter instantly.”

“… … !”

Black Dragon’s body froze, and at the same time, the expression of hostility and anger that had been showing throughout collapsed in an instant.

I had to teleport right now and tell them this.

That is the only way to find life and honor. If not treated, you will die.

I had to run away quickly. But I couldn’t run away.

They came in targeting a vital spot from which they could not escape.

In fact, there was something more important than clearing my name. It’s about regaining honor for your daughter.

But what if the daughter actually disappears?

“You guys…! What on earth did you do to Lurin? “If you touch even one of that child’s wings, I will tear you to pieces, even if it takes eons!”

“Wow, that’s scary. It’s okay to stick your teeth into an old man. But it is a clear fact. Young man, if you want to embrace your daughter’s cooling body, you should go back. “It’s not a bad idea to die together.”

Black Dragon began to noticeably become restless.

That was it.

Fear that my daughter could get hurt or even die. It was a huge fear for her.

The fear of someone who holds the life of an irreplaceable precious being.

Black Dragon began to panic to the point where he threw away all his courage, hatred, and false accusations.

“Can not be done…! “Yes you bastards!”

Lee Haim stared at Black Dragon without changing his expression. And then he opened his mouth again and again.

“So you didn’t tell me? All you have to do is die. There’s no need to get your daughter involved, right? Since you were the one who found the bead anyway, are you going to go back and get treatment and live a miserable life? Rather than blow yourself up here. You know how to explode your heart and self-destruct, right? Then, all evidence of what happened to us will disappear, and your daughter will be safe at the same time.”

If you die like this, evidence will remain.

There is evidence that they murdered him.

That shouldn’t happen.

That’s why the red dragons planned this.

A plan to make the dragon in front of him choose his own death, kicking away his last chance to clear his name and recovery.

A very cruel and dastardly plan.

But Black Dragon’s face had already completely collapsed.

The choice, of course, is the daughter.

The false accusations that I so desperately wanted to get rid of are all just a piece of paper due to this despicable act.

However, he clicked his tongue at his own foolishness.

Those who have been framed. It was clearly his own fault for leaving Rurin alone without knowing their meanness.

The crime of failing to see what must be protected and jumping out in the anger right in front of you.

“Do you want me to die? “How on earth can I trust you guys to save my daughter?”

“Young dragon. Unfortunately, you no longer have a choice. If you are willing to abandon your daughter and choose your own life, then do as you please. Well, I’d like to say this, but in fact, if you die alone, touching your daughter will actually be harmful to us. At best, it was thought to be suicide, but it would be so strange if the daughter was also mysteriously killed. For that reason, if you die, your daughter can live. “If you choose to run away and let your daughter die, it will only lead to a war between Red and Black.”

Red Dragon talked at length.

It was a line that made anger rise, but Black Dragon actually felt relieved.

That was right.

If they do what they want, Lulin can be guaranteed safety from the hands of the red dragons.

If so, it doesn’t matter.

The black dragon weakly folded its wings that had been spread.

What mother in the world would throw away her daughter’s life? Are you just going to clear your name?

Even if it is called a byword for shame even after thousands of years have passed, it is of no concern in the face of my daughter’s life.

“That’s enough. As long as Lurin survives, there is no need for anything else. “Yes, I will die just like you said.”

“Have you made a decision?”

Nod.

Black Dragon nodded and stepped back, even though he showed hostility. It simply sat down, leaning its large dragon body against a nearby cliff.

A life for your daughter.

There is absolutely nothing to waste.

I was worried about my daughter who would be alone, but as long as she survived, the day would come when the sun would rise.

She shed tears as she remembered her daughter.

I wasn’t scared of dying, but I was very scared of not seeing Lurin again.

If only for the sake of his daughter, whom he gave birth to alone, raised alone, and always wriggled and smiled next to him.

What is so important?

While lamenting his foolishness for getting caught up in something like this, Black Dragon concentrated his mana.

If you hesitate, Lurin will get hurt.

Red Dragon was giving that look in his eyes. Over and over again.

“Lurin…”

Finally, Black Dragon called his daughter’s name loudly.

An explosion occurred from Black Dragon’s body.

Kuaaaaaaaaaa!

After the smoke from the powerful explosion cleared, only the ashes of the Black Dragon that exploded from within remained.
