Chapter 72 The Last Servant Of Eternity 2
By that word alone, this beast must be a servant of the three Eternity sisters or the Fairy saviors. Similarly, the transmigrator noticed it earlier, the dragsaurians priestesses had the skill [Priestess of Dragonblood] combine that with what Patches called the dragsaurians they could only allude to one being.
Dragonblood is a name exclusively used by Ethan the last dragon lord. The strength of the legendary being spoke for itself. Ethan Dragonblood accompanied the first transmigrators in taking down the demon lords. Hiro felt his guilt rising. He killed the forces of "good" by mistake. He even gained 21 level-ups from them.

'Wow, I went from barely a thousand in HP to over five thousand, I'm guessing this is also to prevent system users from being too careless. I got a nice boost in stats. I didn't know you get new features at every ten levels. I should check what I got at level 30.'
Before Hiro could focus on studying his stats, however, another alert forced him to return to the situation at hand.
- Alert: Host in the presence of a recognized ally [Lonely is the sword] reality now disarming. Please prepare for stat reduction -
- Alert: STR decreased, stat decreased 734 -> 534 -
- Alert: AGI decreased, stat decreased 703 -> 503 -
- Alert: INT decreased, stat decreased 694 -> 494 -
As always stat reduction felt extremely unpleasant. Just like the high after doing something exciting, the low that followed became a very annoying experience. While Hiro was dealing with Stat deprivation, the last two devoted of team B expressed their frustration at Patches.
"Our business is not with you manticore! We only wish to kill the rapist!"
"How about you leave from here before Starfall makes it our mission to destroy you, monster!"
Hiro who heard their words got silent confirmation that the Manticore truly never was the target. Frank's abilities even matched what happened. The red-haired man with a parted pencil mustache could summon earth snakes, He and Rilu heard rattlesnakes sounds before they fell.
Thinking about his abilities, it became common sense that Frank had the ability to collapse their footing directly on top of the warriors of Dragonblood. Hiro even believed Frank purposely made it that way.
Starfall arrived earlier so it seemed that with OP stats the devoted wouldn't be dumb enough to miss such a large cavern, nor the army residing inside it. Thinking they intentionally left the pit and even turned it into a trap made more sense. But Why did they need Rilu with him? Did they hate her to such a degree?
From these facts, the dragsaurians seemed to never mean any harm and were just as confused as him. This answered one of Hiro's lingering questions. He activated [Spirit Sense] at the beginning of the battle, but it hasn't even triggered not once. This only meant that the lizards had no real intention of killing the transmigrator.
The skill read intention using Spirit power, so if the attacks aimed at Hiro's vitals came it would trigger. Hiro grew dependent on the skill as it saved him numerous times while fighting against goblins.
Every time the little green monsters aimed for his eyes, head, or heart the skill would color his vision red and give him warnings about who he should pay attention to. The transmigrator originally wondered how it was possible that none of the dragsaurians triggered the skill.
Even their demeanor of slowly approaching, or bored way of fighting reinforced this fact. The only time they grew angry was when he butchered the priestesses but even the transmigrator could not blame them. If someone murdered his girls by ripping them apart in front of him, he would be angry too.
If this army was meant to help him. Then he made a colossal mistake by killing them. In contrast to their restrained way of fighting with him, the dragsaurians ferociously attacked Starfall's devoted. Their frenzy and brutality were a stark contrast to their earlier demeanor.
Hiro, however, was suddenly pulled out of his reverie when he heard a hearty chuckle from Patches. The lion and goat heads could be seen smiling in ridicule, the former looked frightening even though it expressed humor. Seeing a lion's face and muzzle extremely wet from fresh blood would make even the funniest joke lose its humor.
"Surely you jest human, or is it your villain of a princess still keeps her dogs in the dark ever still? Allow me to elucidate the matter. Your liege has been hunting me for millennia.
"The army above was no different from the ones she has sent in the past. She and I can no longer exist under the same sky human. Say your last prayers to whatever gods you believe. You will be meeting them soon."
Patches' explanations dumbfounded everyone present. Hiro could see the WTF! expressions on the two in front of him. It became clear these two at least had no idea what was going on.
Hiro then interrupted their conversation to try diplomacy one last time. Patches who grew curious stopped to listen to what Hiro had to say.
"I don't know your names but you guys should know the truth right? I never harmed Rhyne, the closest I got to her was the binding ceremony. I spent all other times recuperating from injuries."
"SHUT THE FUCK UP RAPIST!"
"SILENCE YOU FUCKING TRASH! I WILL KILL YOU!"
Hiro felt wronged by their anger so he similarly made his points clear as he bellowed in frustration.
"WHAT THE FUCK! Why the hell are you angry at me? I didn't even do anything! You fuckers were there! My binding ceremony failed! I didn't even get to share a room with her!
"Besides who the hell can even take advantage of her anyway? She has stats greater than all of us combined! Use your common sense you assholes!"
A snake tail then coiled around Hiro's shoulders like an arm as the beast spoke. "Talking to such humans is useless Mitsurugi, the false princess has a habit of turning her harem deranged. I expect that not only their memories were rewritten but their personalities as well."
