CHAPTERS
A week had passed since we got trapped in the cavern. Every escape attempt I'd tried had failed. In the end, I even tried transforming into a dragon to dig through the earth, but before a day had passed, the tunnel had restored itself, and I reverted back to human form. I scratched my chest again, but the artifact didn't activate. I grew serious. I vaguely sensed some immense power or presence entangled within this space, but... I have no idea what it wants. ...It couldn't possibly want me to…- 171.8 K • Completed
- Tap, tap. I'd considered the possibility of tunnels branching out in all directions like an ant hill. Surprisingly, the interior wasn't very deep. About 5 meters in, the space widened, and that was the end of it. There was a miniature version of the tree I'd seen in the plaza in the corner. Vines sprouting from it also served as light bulbs. It was an armory. All kinds of blades were lined up. Swords, spears... That one looks like a Green Dragon Crescent Blade1. What's that? What is it?…

- Fortunately, Odan's explanation quickly moved on. "Their intended method was drowning. If successful, it would have been a surefire way. Winged monsters... no matter how powerful a Kremlis might be... they can't swim." Kaelus was his usual self. He spoke in a voice lowered just enough that one had to concentrate to notice. "...Among the treasures passed down through the imperial family for generations is Julan's heart. It's said Julan personally gave it to the next emperor after the founding…

- It was fine. I was already familiar with failed love. ……After my parents passed away, I went through what you might call a long period of wandering. I quit swimming and school altogether. After spending a year that felt like my memory had flown away, I came to my senses and realized I was already well past twenty. I was still stuck in the past, in that momentary guilt. Everything except me treated me as an adult. I readily accepted it. I worked part-time during the day and drifted…

- Meanwhile, among the people clapping and stamping their feet. A soldier who kept eight cats and spent most of his pay on them felt a familiar sense of déjà vu. "Hmm...?" His eyes, which had been shifting between the tyurel and the dragon, sparkled, then took on a boyish mischief. He hurriedly left his seat and returned holding a broken mirror shard from somewhere. The soldier smiled meaningfully and tilted the mirror to reflect the sunlight. The white dot, aimed at the pick playing tyurel,…

- "We cannot overcome this Monster Wave using the same method as before." The previous method meant that the Pensilta dragons hunted 70% of the monsters, while the subjugation force hunted the remaining 30% that were either injured or barely clinging to life. “Since the Monster Wave has changed, our strategy must change too. The moment has come for the subjugation force to do their part. It’s unfortunate, but it can’t be helped. ......So, shouldn't we also do everything we possibly…

- “Ah…… that’s because I didn’t introduce myself.” “..…..” When I tried to introduce my name, I remembered Kaelus showing up in a rage, and how he left me and Nitahn behind and ran off on his own. "Ow. Ouch. It hurts......" Grr! "Say it with words. I gave you back the translator......." "It's Odan." ......Huh? Since saying “ a kid I knew” sounded distant, I just called him a friend. I said it like it was interesting, but the mage was…

- The very next day after the birthday celebration ended, at dawn. The Denos delegation departed the imperial palace. With the agreement concluded, there was no reason to linger further. The emperor did not even offer polite encouragement to stay longer, and Valita likewise did not utter even a hollow “I wish I could stay longer, but it's a pity.” On the road to the port by carriage. Valita was lost in thought. The emperor's reaction had been more calm than he had…

- Valita sensed it. Something unusual was unfolding before his eyes. It was a change that would profoundly impact his future path. He suppressed his excitement, which fluttered like a freshly caught fish, and smiled at the duke, who was enveloped by a cold aura. "The dragon was quite adorable." "……How did you get here?" "Ah. I saw the door was open, so I came in." "……It was open." Kaelus's mouth twisted as he repeated the words. "Didn't you see the chains and lock?" "I did.…

- Krraak! It must have been around noon that day. The parent dragon suddenly let out a cry of rage and plunged off the cliff. Spreading his wings wide, he glided and shot off into the distance. The wounds that grew with each return were now covering his entire back. It felt ominous. But I don't know anything. Besides, the immediate situation before me was a bigger problem than the parent dragon. Whoooosh! I poked my head out of the small, seashell-like ledge. It was foolish. Within a…
