“Can I take him out?” “Uh, that's...” Clunk. While Nitan hesitated, the man flicked his middle and thumb fingers. The four sides collapsed outward like a disassembling structure. I found myself standing in an open space. My pupils dilated. Magic...! I properly examined the man. He was such a textbook mage, I wondered why I hadn't noticed right away. A dark-colored robe reaching down to his shins. Geometric patterns embroidered in gold and navy thread adorned the cuffs and…- 171.8 K • Completed
‘Yes. That did happen.’ Tortan shrugged his shoulders. “I was clinging to a sliver of hope there, but if you don’t have any clues, then there’s nothing to be done.” Kaelus’s expression didn’t relax. “Well, it feels a bit awkward for me to say this after starting it, but don't worry too much about it. Like I said before, I think it's highly likely it just naturally disappeared over time.” “You mean the legendary artifact?” “After a thousand years or so, wouldn't…- 171.8 K • Completed
Day four. We arrived in Richmond. “Open the gate! Open the gate!” “What? The side gate? Stop talking nonsense and open the main gate! The dragon's coming in!” Several strong men pulled together, forcing the massive castle gate open wide on both sides. I barely managed to keep my jaw from dropping. Everyone was staring at me. For some reason, my neck stiffened. Strangely, I found myself thrusting my chest forward. As I stepped inside, cheers erupted from all…- 171.8 K • Completed
Tortan smiled contentedly and gestured toward the inner part of the reception room. “Come in. Even if it weren't for that matter, there's much we need to discuss.” “Your Majesty, if I may be so bold... Might I take my leave now? I have an overwhelming amount of work piled up...” “Ah, Nitan. Do so.” “And speaking of which, about that manpower recruitment I mentioned last time...” “You must be busy. Go now. It was good to see you!” Thud. The door…- 171.8 K • Completed
There were a few hiccups along the way, but ultimately, Rotol's journey to the capital was confirmed. And thanks to Rotol's recommendation (read: sheer stubbornness), Mirim and Odan were also joining the party. Mirim was no problem. But when Kaelus and Nitan saw Odan, their expressions froze simultaneously. “...Sirs? Is there a problem?” The village chief asked cautiously. Their reaction was unusual. Instead of the still-frozen Kaelus, Nitan smiled and replied. “No. He’s just so…- 171.8 K • Completed
Kaelus sighed. Nothing about the situation was to his liking right now. Not the situation where he had to tolerate a non-imprinted Kremlis among humans. Not the dragon that didn't have a single dragon-like trait to his name. ...Not even the fact that he'd received help from that dragon. “......” He still found the dragon repulsive. He believed all those beasts that pretended to be tamed, deceiving humans, deserved to die. ‘……But.’ He didn't intend to deny the facts…- 171.8 K • Completed
Kyaaaah! “Eeek!” “Aaah! Spear! Bring me a spear!” Crack! “Aaah!” I rampaged like a mad beast. I bit, clawed, and lashed out with my tail at anything in sight. If they ran, I chased them down and killed them. The soldiers, who had initially tried to fight back, scattered like a swarm of bees. The villagers, quick-witted, grabbed the village chief and fled to the open village hall. Rotol followed the village chief, wailing loudly. Good “Don't run! Look closely!…- 171.8 K • Completed
Thud! “Guh!” A man collapsed, spitting blood, under a Denos's kick. People gasped for breath and cried. “Shut up. Will you shut up?!” “......” Valak, one of the three commanders in charge of fortification, raised his whip. He swung the whip indiscriminately at the gathered crowd. “Aaah!” “Aaah!!” The whip had sharp fragments at its end and was coated in glass powder. With each strike, blood and flesh flew. After just a few lashes, people began fainting. Still…- 171.8 K • Completed
He knew it already. To the people of the castle, they were nothing more than convenient hoes, digging up medicinal herbs for them from the cursed Sea of Trees. This time, dispatching the investigation team was likely driven more by concern over disruptions to the herb supply than by worry for the hoe's safety. There was no need to weigh the options. Hunting a single Pensilta dragon required a dedicated catapult, skilled knights, professional hunters, and a mage. In urgent cases, knights alone…- 171.8 K • Completed
Flap. “……!” An ominous flapping sound echoed. The hunter couldn't rise, even though he'd set all the traps. That shadow was different from the outline alone. It was enormous and threatening. ‘Th-this, this, this is……!’ His vision blurred. Cold sweat soaked his body. The hunter crouched, he was trembling. Death. Absolute death. The hunter held back tears, gasping for breath. ...But for some reason, it didn't seem to move. It was simply watching him. A piercing…- 171.8 K • Completed
