“Tell Miss Irill when you get back.”

“…what?”

Ronan frowned. Suddenly, I wondered what bullshit this was.

I had heard a lot of lines that gave me a sense of déjà vu in the past when I was a punishment soldier. It was mainly what the guys next to me said when people were put into a desperate battle where people were dying. Ronan, who soon understood the meaning, spat out a curse.

“If you think strange, I will really kill you.”

“There is nothing we can do to get out of this situation. If you and Asher survive, something will happen. I will try to make the most of my time.”

“Nimi, wasting time?”

I laughed out loud because I was so dumbfounded. This idiot was thinking of saving the rest at his own expense. No matter how disastrous the situation was, it was not something I would hear from a kid who hadn’t lived half of his life. Schlieffen nodded.

“okay. There is a possibility of propaganda for a while, but it is impossible to defeat them all. And you know Asher’s condition.”

“That’s…!”

Asher, who was clinging to Ronan’s shoulders, sighed. In fact, he had almost exhausted the mana in his body. To make matters worse, the mana potions she had brought were all broken when she collided with Naransonia.

Of course, Ronan knew that. I just didn’t say anything. He spat on the floor and growled wildly.

“Don’t be arrogant, think about the 4 year old. If you talk like that just once, I’ll crack the peanuts.”

Schlieffen did not answer. In the meantime, the siege was getting narrower and narrower. It was noticeable that he was vigilant because many of his colleagues had died.

A roar that was believed to be that of a dragon could be heard from outside the tower. Aren’t the two damn dogs the end? It was around the time that the distance had narrowed to twenty paces.

【Catch it now. How long are you going to be lukewarm?]

【If possible, capture them alive.】

The twin dragons opened their mouths. Another fear was overlaid on the faces of the hesitant sentries. It seemed that he was the type to ruthlessly roll his subordinates. The sentries screamed and ran.

“Kuaaaaaagh!!”

“okay. Come and have a look.”

Shouts resounded like molten iron. As Ronan grabbed the hilt of the sword, La Mancha’s blade turned bright red. Wedge liquid! The moment he swung his sword horizontally, the shot flew across the crowd of people.

“Keuk!”

“Keep it off!”

Chow! The dismembered bodies soared into the air. Each time the action was repeated, blood and viscera splattered in all directions.

“Oh, what a name! Do not back down and subdue the intruders!”

However, once the sentries started rushing at them, they didn’t care about the death of their comrades. When the leading column collapsed, those immediately behind rushed at them, trampling on the corpse. Despite the ensuing checks, the gap began to narrow little by little.

“shit.”

Ronan clicked his tongue. It was big, but it had too many heads. I was able to realize that it was fucked up in that the dragon or Lycopos hadn’t even stepped forward yet.

That’s a big deal. My body is gradually getting heavier. Suddenly, Schlieffen’s voice came from the side.

“Get out of the way.”

“what?”

Come to think of it, this kid was completely quiet. Sensing the turbulence of mana, Ronan turned his head.

Schlieffen was holding his breath while holding the hilt with both hands. The sword body, which had not yet been turned into the wind, was wrapped in a bluish halo of light.

“You…”

Ronan’s eyes widened. Gooooooh… a sound that could only be heard on a typhoon day was pulsating from the inside of the blade. An immeasurable amount of mana was condensed inside the metal, waiting to be released.

“Sch Schlieffen….”

“Huh!”

Asher’s eyes widened. In an instant, Schlieffen’s arm disappeared from view. Quaaaaaang-! The condensed storm was released and at the same time the enemies coming from the front disappeared. The wind that stretched out in a straight line broke through the wall on the other side and escaped.

“Quaaaaaagh!”

“What is this…!”

“Huh! All legs!”

Consternation erupted from everywhere. There was nothing left where the wind had passed. A wide road appeared in the middle of a space filled with people. People who unfortunately lost limbs in the middle screamed.

【Kwaaaaaagh!】

【My God Radaskaja!】

A twin dragon was included among the victims. He let out a moan as he grabbed his torn left arm. Asher covered his mouth with both hands.

“Severing the body of a dragon!”

It was a power that was not lacking to be called Biggi. But I couldn’t be more happy. Schlieffen’s face was haggard, like someone who had been wandering in the desert for about ten days.

“…You sure are tired.”

Schlieffen stumbled drunkenly. It was clear that energy was consumed in proportion to performance.

“You idiot, what are you trying to do by pushing yourself so hard…”

Ronan was about to shout something. Suddenly Schlieffen turned and grabbed him by the collar. His grip strength was too strong to match his sannim-like face. He opened his mouth and closed his face.

“Wipe the pocket watch once. There might be blood on it.”

“you…!”

There was nothing to say. Whoa! Schlieffen threw Ronan towards the collapsed wall. The sentry and the fanatics, who were intimidated by the power of Biggie, could not catch the two flying away. Asher, who was clinging to Ronan, also flew away.

“Haaaaagh!”

“Alas!”

“No missed!”

The sentries were perplexed. When they turned their heads, the two of them had already reached the sky outside the tower.

“The asshole is real…!”

Ronan gritted it. The floor they were on was moving away quickly. The night wind was roaring in my ears. Five or six dragons were circling in a circle in the sky.

The idiot had no choice but to commit it. A loud noise began to be heard from the floor they were away from, as if they had started fighting again. Quaggagak! Kagak! Schlieffen’s signature slash of wind was seen tearing through the atmosphere.

‘calm down.’

Ronan took a deep breath. My head, which was about to explode, cooled down a bit. The die had already been cast and the answer had to be sought in a cool way.

Schlieffen probably wouldn’t last long. Since the name was the morning star of the empire, it would take quite a bit of time, but it was unreasonable to handle that number. If so, will I die? Suddenly, the words of one of the twin dragons flashed through my mind.

‘They said they would capture them alive.’

Capture alive if possible. I must have said that. Of course, it could have been, but now I had no choice but to believe it and act on it. Schlieffen would have been fooling around if he remained engrossed in it no matter what.

“after.”

Deciding what to do, Ronan let out a breath he had been holding back. Only then did the blurred surroundings begin to emerge. The first thing that caught my eye was Asher, who was screaming while hanging from his neck.

“Ahhh! Aaaaaaagh!!”

Next I saw a huge lake pouring overhead. The lake, which captured the scenery of the tower and the night sky, was as huge as a decent village. said Ronan.

“Assel. Can you use magic?”

“Quaaaaaagh! i’m sorry I have almost no mana…!”

“If it is almost, there is a little bit.”

Thinking of something, Ronan swung his sword toward the tower. Kwaaang! The sword flew through the wind and collided with the wall, causing an explosion. He pointed to the debris falling from above.

“Assel, I don’t want anything else. Just match our speed with those fragments.”

“What?”

“We shouldn’t have to hide our location. hurry.”

Ronan urged. Obviously, there would be people watching this, and if a single column of water rose, it would be discovered in no time.

“ah…!”

Realizing the meaning, Asher’s eyes widened. I don’t know if this will be a trick, but I had to do something now. Having scraped out the last mana, he shouted as if squeezing it out.

“This invisible hand!”

A friendly order rang out. An invisible hand gripped their bodies. It’s very brief, but the fall speed slowed down. Pew-! As Ronan hugged Asher, the bodies of the two fell into the lake.

Buffer Buffer! Debris that fell almost simultaneously exploded on the surface of the water. Hundreds of water columns, large and small, gushed over the lake. The sentries chasing them on the other floor stopped in bewilderment.

“What happened?!”

“Looks like you fell off? Damn, you can’t even recognize it…!”

The sentries looking at the lake clicked their tongues. If I had the same mind, I wanted to blow it away with lightning magic, but I couldn’t because it was one of the places where dragons kept their wealth.

“Ugh…!”

Ronan, who had been sinking into the water as if he was drowning, opened his eyes. The water that bathed her body was cold. I could see a halo of light shimmering around the distant water surface.

‘I lived.’

Fortunately, my speed was reduced and I was able to avoid falling to my death. The lake, which is deeper and wider than expected, gave the illusion of falling into the sea. Asher, who was being held by him, vomited.

“Kororok!”

Seeing him struggling, fortunately, his health seemed to be fine. Ronan let out a sigh of relief and started swimming.

It should have landed in a place with as few people as possible. It was in the midst of his rapid rise. Asher began to struggle violently, as if having a seizure.

“Ugh! Turn it off!”

Why are you screaming all of a sudden? Feeling strange, Ronan lowered his gaze. And it just hardened. Something huge was moving in the black, empty water.

‘What…!’

Ronan’s eyes widened. It didn’t take long to figure out what it was. A black dragon was rapidly approaching this way. The water surface was dyed the same color as the night sky, so it was not noticed from above.

‘Fuck!’

Sensing a crisis, Ronan accelerated. Judging by the fact that it had two wings, it was not Orsay. Of course, it wasn’t that important now.

‘Why is something like that under the lake…!’

Ronan desperately splashed around. However, the dragon’s swimming speed was much faster than that of humans. It was around the time that the gap had almost closed.

[Relax. I’m not on the Dragon King’s side.]

Suddenly, an electric tone resonated in Ronan’s head. He paused and turned his head.

‘what?’

It was a dry voice like a reservoir in a drought. I’m sure I’ve heard it before, but I can’t remember. The electric sound was heard again.

[Come into my mouth. I’ll let you run away for now.]

Ronan frowned at the unknown words. I wanted to ask what kind of bullshit it was, but I couldn’t because I was in the water.

It was the moment he hesitated near the surface for a moment. Tup! The black dragon suddenly sped up and swallowed the two in an instant.

****

“Ugh…”

Ronan opened his eyes. My vision was blurry, as if there was fog. An indescribable musty smell stung my nostrils.

The sound of running water was near. He slowly raised his upper body. I remembered meeting the black dragon at the bottom of the lake, but I couldn’t remember what happened after that.

“…here is?”

Before long, my vision became clearer, and the scenery around me began to come into my eyes. It was a huge cave-like place, and the walls and floor were polished to a smooth finish.

Right next to where I lay, a bonfire was burning with a crackling sound. The vaulted ceiling was so high that it was barely visible. Ronan, who suddenly recalled the existence of Asher, looked around urgently.

“Damn Asher.”

Fortunately, Asher was quickly found. He was lying around the campfire like himself. I hurriedly looked at him and luckily he was breathing.

For a baby to worry about people. Ronan let out a sigh of relief and sat down.

Judging from the fact that both of their clothes were somewhat dry, it seemed that they had passed out for a long time. Looking around again, he muttered dumbfounded.

“…Where is here?”

“It’s the sewer.”

“What?”

The answer came from behind. Ronan hurriedly stood up and turned his head. An old man was looking down at himself with his hands behind his back.

“To be exact, the sewers of Adren, the city of dragons. You won’t find anything like this anywhere on the continent.”

“you are…!”

Ronan’s eyes widened when he saw a familiar face. He was the owner of the tavern where Orsay had been drinking. Unlike then, the sleeves were rolled up, so the metal prosthetic arm was completely exposed. Ronan asked.

“Did you save us?”

“You can do that. I’ve been concerned about it ever since I started at the tavern. I heard the bluff from the Dragon King and came here just in case, but it fell into the lake as well.”

“Wait a lake? If so, I hope you…”

“Yes. It is a dragon.”

The old man nodded. It was a calm tone, as if he was asking such a question all of a sudden. He meekly admitted that he was the black dragon that swallowed them earlier.

Ronan, who was in a bit of shock, laughed. I really didn’t notice this time. To hide his presence better than Orsay.

“I’m embarrassed.”

“Surprised. Didn’t I tell you that black is good at camouflage?”

I didn’t know what the old man was doing. Suddenly, he came closer and crouched down. The old man who had been quietly examining Ronan’s face opened his mouth.

“It was similar. They look so alike.”

“Who do you resemble?”

“It’s hard to pick just one person. Because he resembles the person I admire the most and the person I hate the most at the same time. I don’t think he came from the church…”

The old man dragged his horse. Hearing the word church, Ronan raised his eyebrows. For an instant, the image of a dragon passed through his mind.

Black Dragon A prosthetic arm that replaces the severed left hand. Drifting information gathered together to draw conclusions. Ronan’s mouth opened slowly.

“… Alibrihe?”

“You know my name, too.”

The old man let out a deep sigh. Now, I saw that sparkling mana was leaking minutely from above his shoulder. He opened his mouth while fiddling with his prosthetic hand.

“So who are you guys? Are you here to ruin my first and last vacation?”
