Chapter 53: Flexing
Flexing
When the suspicious figure with a horn growing from his head transformed into a dragon.
Garounya leapt forward at once to act as the shield for her master, Jilbagias whom she respected.
But, she couldnt do that. Thanks to the baggage(Liliana) that she brought with her, she couldnt move as she wanted to.
As a result, she really was at her wits end when the white dragon unleashed his breath, and was blown away
Its hot And painful
She knew that she was suffering from a burning wound all over her body. It was so bad that she couldnt even move her body properly. She failed to become a shield properly, above all, she had no idea about her own current condition. Her mind wandered into the darkness as soon as she lost her focus.
Ku~n, ku~n.
Then, she felt something wet licking her cheek.
Liliana
The high elf saint. And she was also the reason why Jilbagias rarely gave much attention to Garounya as of late, for a moment, Garounya felt rather conflicting emotion but
Since Liliana took a submissive pose, showing her stomach with an innocent look on her face, even she couldnt help but feel that her jealousy toward Liliana was rather stupid.
Since the very beginning, as a beastfolk herself, she held no particular emotion to the forest elf. The reason for her hostility toward the forest elf was simply because they were in different camps. Thats why until now It felt as if she was taking care of a rather handful little sister. The fact that she felt jealous toward Liliana who was always being cared for and given attention to by her young master didnt change though.
You are Worrying about me
Her pain eased up everytime Liliana licked her body.
Im okay Young master
She tried to push Liliana away from her. Liliana got away from her while raising a cry.
She wanted Liliana to prioritize Jilbagias first.
But still, Im Really glad
If she forced herself to move when Liliana treated her just now, she might not have been able to help Jilbagias to escape from this place. Theyre in a really dangerous situation and she wanted to buy some time for her master Meaning that this was the moment in which she showed her loyalty as white tiger clan
Though she felt as if she would pass out at any moment, she braced herself and stayed awake with her guts alone.
She refused to pass out.
That was hers, Garounyas loyalty, and willpower.
That damn lizard. You will see what happens when you leave a wounded beast.
I will show you a nightmare that you will never forget.
The one misfortune that goes both ways was the fact that Faravugi couldnt fly.
Since Faravugi couldnt fly, he couldnt leave the territory of the demon kingdom.
And by somesort of misfortune, I ended up stumbling right into his hiding place.
Or not In the first place, if this fella didnt come up with a plan to launch a suicide attack to the demon king castle, the current me wouldnt be born either.
In short, he was the beginning of everything.
The patriarch of the white dragons, Faravugi of the Dawn
His machette-like claws swung toward me.
Though he could end the battle at once with his breath attack The fact that he was only using his claws means that he really wanted to torture me to death.
Well, he might fire his breath attack if I choose to escape though.
Everything was the demon kings fault. Both Faravugi and I lost our family due to the demon king. As a result, both of us who tried to get our revenge ended up having to clash in this place as enemies.
Dammit, I really hate this kind of situation.
But, if he is a hindrance to my plan
Then I wont show mercy either.
Ante.
I will take the magical power that I entrusted to you.
OK.
I felt as if somesort of seal was released inside me.
It felt as if a dam located somewhere in my body had burst open Filling my body with a torrent of magical power.
It was the power of taboo which I gathered as a hero, who sacrificed dozens of humans. I put that power into the tip of my spear, and stabbed it into the approaching foreleg of Faravugi.
The silver scales clad in the magical power of light clashed against the obsidian speartip clad in the magical power of darkness, scattering countless sparks around us Were evenly matched.
And then, the silver scale smashed apart.
NO WAY!?
He mustve never expected that the young demon race before him was evenly matched in power against a dragon whose body was many times bigger. Not to mention that the said youth could break his scale.
Unable to hide his shock, Faravugi leapt back quickly. Rather than a dragon, his agility reminds me of a feline animal, extremely agile and flexible. The dragon was powerful, and his jump from before was the testament of his power
But, Im just as powerful as him.
Yeah This feeling of omnipotentness was truly amazing.
This feeling of intoxication, I felt as if I could transform the world with the sweep of my hand.
But at the same time, I Felt slightly disappointed inside.
Because the power that I received from Ante Couldnt return to her for safekeeping again.
The logic of the world felt too brittle for the current me. I could literally twist the very nature of the world to my own convenience.
And I, couldnt become Sword Saint Anymore My long forgotten aspiration which reignited after I met Verossa.
But, that possibility had already been crushed apart, by my own hand nonetheless. The logic of the world wouldnt come to love me, ever
You What in the world is that power!?
Faravugi asked so while circling around me.
In his perspective, I might suddenly turn into a giant. As a fellow race with a sharp perception of magical power, the fact that my magical power suddenly ballooned might seem like an extremely bizarre phenomena.
Im a demon race after all.
I replied curtly with a dry smile on my face. It sounds like a satire, even from my perspective.
Those devils heretic art eh!
Faravugi retorted with a somewhat envious voice.
I know how you feel. Youre craving for power. Honestly I didnt even want to imagine what would happen to this world if you guys, the dragon race were allowed to enter the dark portal And make a pact with the devil.
Feeling like you want to escape now? Both of us might end up wasting our power as it is.
My remark might backfire but, I wanted to let him at least consider that option.
A mere demon races brat, HOW DARE YOU TO LOOK DOWN ON MEEEEEEEEEEE!
Faravugi was enraged. His throat shone. What about his words about torturing me to death? Are you going to blast me to dust now?
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
The dragon breath is coming.
But.
Our Name is Jilbagias
Thump I felt my existence became one size bigger.
In The Name of The Demon Prince Jilbagias
Everyone around me might be affected by this but, please bear with it for now.
Taboo to Breath.
Done.
Gah.
Faravugis eyes opened wide. With a poof, his magical power failed to become scorching light, and gave rise to smoke from his throat.
Though I also couldnt take a breath, I had already prepared beforehand and took a deep breath. Using the element of surprise, I thrusted my spear into the wound which was left behind by Verossa.
I was aiming for his heart. I had to finish this fight as soon as possible and treat my subordinate. Yes, those fu*cking darkling who I hate so much!
GAAAH!
Faravugi groaned in pain, and swung his foreleg. Chill ran down into my spine as his incoming claw sweep came like a reapers scythe. I tried to dodge by rolling on the ground alas, that claw sweep shaved off a major portion of my defensive ward. Dammit, my speartip couldnt reach further! It was far from enough to deal a deathblow
DONT-SCREW-WITH-MEEEE!
Sound akin to the flick of a leather whip resounded in the air.
You damnBRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!
Light dwelled again inside Faravugis throat.
This guy, he forcefully canceled my hex
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
The glowing pillar of light rained down on me.
But, the spear in my hand Stirring lightly.
Yeah, I remember it now. That fairy-tale.
The tale about a hero who fought against an evil dragon.
There was such a story in one of the books in the village chiefs library.
The dragon spit their dragon breath, facing that, the hero
The torrent of silver light shook the fortress.
The energy contained within this breath attack broke the stone tiles, and baked the wall till it turned bright red.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Upon noticing that the binding of my hex had already gone, Faravugi was laughing to the top of his lungs.
Before his eyes were thick cloud of dust illuminated by scorched red stone
Though I want to torture him till death, I ended up turning him into ci!?
He didnt get to finish his words.
The smoke got scattered by the magical power of wind that was inching closer.
That damned tale. The light dragon and damon races darkness is like freaking opposing each other.
There, the figure of a demon race youth was standing slowly from a crouching position on top of the scorching hot stone tiles.
His hand was Protected by the dense magical power of darkness.
It was a bone Shield.
Taboo To Scorching Heat
That instant, the temperature of the space around him cooled off rapidly.
That includes the heat in Faravugis mouth, and the heat around the demon race youths comrades.
It really is a sad story. Dont you think so?
The demon prince had single-handedly withstood the all out breath attack of the dragon, head on.
He was laughing fearlessly while holding a shield in his left hand And obsidian knife in his right hand.
