Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Chapter 321: Abyss Parasite

They were surprised when they saw Sun Zhou Yi. But they were even more surprised when they heard what Heero said.

"Huh!?" Everyone had the same reaction when Heero said the dragon was the old man on top of Sun Zhou Yi's back.

They were flabbergasted and doubted Heero, all of them including his daughter who always believed in him.

"The grandpa is a dragon?" Miao Miao was the first one to break the silence with her cute voice.

Despite his lanky frame, he was able to hold the huge boulder. It was surely surprising them but there was no way they would believe the old man was a dragon.

"Yes! He is a Dragon," Heero nodded his head and explained, "He transforms into a human form so he can help with Brother Zhou Yi's training,"

Sun Zhou Yi was focusing on his push-up, stabilizing his breath. He did not bother with the people who came to see a dragon as per his Master's instruction.

Miao Miao turned around to see Heero face to face. Her face was solemn and his round eyes were wide open, with a serious tone, she questioned Heero, "You are not lying to me, right Daddy?"

She looked quite to Heero that made his smile widened as he was amused. But still, he seriously nodded his head and replied honestly, "I am not lying. Daddy would never lie to you,"

"Come on, Old Man Niadin. Turn back to your dragon form and let them see your true form!" Heero pleaded to the old man.

'Is he trolling us?' It was what in Alexa's thought when she saw this.

'He is toying us!!!' Guardian Knight Adrian was quite upset inside but he did not say it out. The man in front of him was not someone the kingdom could offend.

'Hah, I heard he was quite playful, but I never expected he would play a prank on me,' King William smiled wryly inside. He did not feel offended though. He felt closer instead, Heero played a prank meaning they were close.

As for Heero's wives, they were used to being ranked like this. They merely shook their heads.

"Why should I? Wouldn't they be scared of me?" Old Man Niadin shook his head. Especially in front of the little girl, he did not want to scare them off even though it was his hobby to scare off people for fun.

"It's okay, they wanted to see your true form," Heero came closer to the old man and whispered something to the old man.

The four little girls leaned forward, trying to eavesdrop but they barely heard anything.

"Emperor Abyss Raven? God Goun?" The Old Man's voice was small but the four little girls could hear him. However, they did not understand what they were talking about.

Heero took three steps back and nodded his head toward the old man.

"Alright then, fine, I will help you," The Old Man threw the big boulder away into the void with a slight push and got off Sun Zhou Yi.

He scanned King William, Alexa, and the Guardian Knight.

'Why would he seek out a weakling like them?' That was the old man's thought upon scanned the three.

Bwoosh!

His body flew up to the air. The sudden action shocked the people who came to watch a dragon. When the old man reached a certain height, his body suddenly enlarged and filled the sky.

Yes, the bright sky was no covered by a huge creature, a black humongous creature with a wide wingspan.

Hong Yu, Han Ying, Bai Xin Yue, and Kang Seo-Yeon subconsciously came closer toward Heero. The sudden old man transformation shocked them.

Plop!

Guardian Knight Adrian instantly plopped down on the ground as soon as Old Man Niadin transformed into a dragon. His eyes enlarged as fear slowly resurfaced on his eyes. The Dragon was two times bigger than the Abyss Raven who attacked the Regal Kingdom.

Alexa leaned toward her husband in the split second of the dragon's appearance. She held his right arm tightly as she immediately shut her eyes.

Badump! Badump! Badump!

King William himself became extremely nervous. His heartbeat accelerated faster than ever as his legs shook. Thanks to Heero's presence, he did not disgrace himself.

The main reason he was still standing was Heero. Heero dared to show him a Dragon which meant the dragon was not a threat to his life. Nonetheless, he was still extremely nervous and afraid inside.

"How is it, humans? Do you believe the dragon exists now?" An ear-shattering voice came from the dragon, questioning the people below him.

Of course, no one responding to his question. They were still in a state of shock right now. They were still trying to proceed with what they just witnessed just now.

In the next moment, Niadin returned to his human form and landed next to Sun Zhou Yi. Oddly enough, there was another big boulder in his hand. With a smug over his face, the old man hopped back on Sun Zhou Yi.

Alexa's legs went weak and she immediately fell while clinging onto her husband. The thrill of looking at the dragon was enough to drain all her energy.

King William surprisingly maintained his composure. He inhaled and exhaled for air to calm his beating heart. As for Guardian Knight Adrian, he was freezing on the ground, did not move even an inch.

"You are amazing, Grandpa Dragon!" Myung-Hee raised her tiny thumb toward the old man with a cheerful voice. From her voice, she was genuinely praising the old man.

"Mnnn Mnnn" Moira and Lan Lan nodded their heads as well.

"Your body is hugeeeee~," Miao Miao stretched her short arms to gesture how big the old man was.

"Yeah, it's much bigger than the dragon in the movie," Lan Lan responded at Miao Miao's claim.

They had the opposite reaction of the adults. The four little girls did not afraid of the giant dragon, they were amazed by the sight of it.

Next to Heero, Han Ying was streaking her chest. She was much better than Alexa in coping with such a situation. The dragon certainly scared her but she was still fine because of Heero. As long as Heero was here, she believed nothing would happen to her.

But still, it was just like watching a horror movie with a jumpscare.

"This not good for my heart, you should warn us if you want to show me something like that," Han Ying complained in a whisper to Heero's ears.

"I told you we were going to see a dragon, right?" Heero grinned playfully.

"I thought you were joking" Hong Yu chimed in with her quivered voice.

"Huhu It's not a surprise if I told you," Heero turned around and saw the collapsed Alexa and Guardian Knight Adrian.

Guardian Knight Adrian was embarrassed as he tried to stand up. However, he was having a hard to stand properly. His legs were a bit shaky.

Half an hour later

Heero guided back King William and his companions back to outside the dungeon.

Old Man Niadin and Sun Zhou Yi continued with their activity inside the dungeon.

Outside the dungeon, King William, Alexa, and Guardian Knight Adrian breathed relaxingly. Even though the air inside the dungeon was better than here, there was always a tense feeling inside their heart. The existence of the dragon gave them an insecure feeling.

"I did not expect you would be showing a real dragon," King William strokes his chest as he said that. He genuinely did not expect to see a real dragon.

"I would never lie to my friend. I hope this also gives you peace of mind in facing the specters. We have stronger allies" Heero paused a little as he scanned Alexa and Guardian Knight Adrian.

"I want you to meet our two other allies but it seems the conditions don't allow that,"

Alexa and Guardian Knight Adrian were having paled complexion. They still needed rest for now.

"Two other allies?" King William asked back in a slightly curious tone.

"Yes, the Purple Mountain Tribe who is going to train your Phoenix Order Knight and another secret ally. I think it would be better if you meet them before we start our program," Heero explained with a nod.

"Then what about tomorrow? I can delay my return to meet our precious allies," King William did not want to miss this chance, building a good relationship with the Purple Mountain Tribe was certainly good. He could not miss this chance and willing to delay his return trip.

"That's fine by me. I will arrange a meeting with the Chief of the Purple Mountain Tribe at lunch,"

After the arrangement, King William's ground went their way back to the district.

As for Heero, he certainly went back with his family to celebrate his victory over Ryan White. It was his daughter's idea there was no way he would reject a celebration with his daughter.

Heero passed his noon with his family. When the night came, the little girls were tired of playing with him and went sleep early ad 9 p.m.

Heero did not stay at home after that. He went to pick up the unconscious Ryan White in his car trunk.

Ryan White's whole body was covered in a black cloak. Except one opened the cloak, they could not see what was inside. In the crowded street, no one suspecting Heero was bringing a body inside the cloak.

He went back to the first dungeon with Ryan White's body.

Inside the dungeon was clear as usual. There was no night or noon inside the dungeon. That was how Niadin designed his nest.

Soon Heero arrived at Sun Zhou Yi. He was sitting cross-legged, meditating to control the new power that he just inherited.

Old Man Niadin was savoring the snacks he brought from outside.

"Why do you go back? It's unusual for you to visit this old man this often. What do you want from me?" Without looking toward Heero, Old Man Niadin spoke.

Heero indeed needed the old man's help. He tossed Ryan White's body to the front of the old man.

"This guy said he has Divine Crow's bloodline, but there's something off about him. Can you help me?"

He tried to analyze the body and found something inside the head. However, he did not know what it was hence he asked the old man.

"Wuuu Those nasty crows inherent their bloodline to a human? Are you sure about that?" Old Man Niadin turned around when Divine Crow was mentioned. He squinted his eyes, trying to pry something out of Heero.

"I fought him so I am sure," Heero nodded in response.

"This is interesting," Old Man Niadin opened the wrapping cloak. He scanned Ryan White let out a surprised exclamation.

"There's Abyss Parasite in his head!"
