CHAPTERS
When the dragon spoke for the first time, he didn't show it, but Kaelus was shocked. He called it a ‘translator’. ‘......That means.’ It meant the dragon possessed enough intelligence and cognitive ability for a translator to function. The moment Kaelus thought it, he rationalized it without any basis. ‘The smarter Pensilta have the intelligence of a seven-year-old.’ But he knew. None of those Pensilta individuals could communicate like this just because someone put a…- 171.8 K • Completed
‘…….’ I glanced down the hallway. The sunset had already vanished. A deep blue evening hung like a curtain, obscuring the far end of the corridor. My hesitation was brief. I jumped up and grabbed the doorknob. Click. I squeezed through the narrow gap of the open door and slipped inside. Thick curtains hung, plunging the room into darkness. Without my beastly eyes, I would have seen nothing. …Musty. The peculiar, musty smell of dust from a long-abandoned place mingled with…- 171.8 K • Completed
“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
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
“This way, sir.” The village chief, sporting a bushy black beard like a bandit, led the way. As they neared the basin, a pungent stench assaulted their noses. Kaelus scanned the partially rotted, decaying carcasses of wolves without flinching. “They haven’t touched them.” "Yes. Of course not..." "I'm not talking about you." "Huh?" "Don't you find it strange that monsters haven't touched such splendid prey, lying here for all to see?" "......!" The village chief's eyes…- 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
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
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
