Reincarnated User Manual chapter 170

170 – Demodoras (2)

The holy light went out.

My head, which had been boiling, cools down, and my desire to continue fighting subsides. Suspension of granted protection.

Siron felt that his dizzy mind was filled with reason instead of impulse.

At the same time,

I felt like the dragon in front of me was lying.

“Where are you trying to scold me?”

“…Gura?”

“Stop talking bullsh*t.”

“You don’t seem to believe it.”

“Isn’t it obvious? The heart isn’t removable, so you can give it to someone else…”

Siron distorted his face and let out white breath. It looks like he doesn’t believe it. Demodoras sensed an aura of suspicion and anger from him.

But I think we can start a conversation.

The crazy man was no longer cutting, and instead of taking a stance to swing the blade, he was just glaring at Demodoras.

“I promise on my honor. It’s not a lie when I say I’ll give you my heart.”

The dragon, not wanting to waste time, opened its mouth as it felt its wounds gradually healing.

“…Are you saying you would rather die an honorable death yourself than die at the hands of someone else?”

“That’s not it either. I said I would give you my heart because I wanted to live longer.”

“I don’t understand…”

In order to give a heart to someone else, the heart must be pulled out.

If you pull out your heart, don’t you usually die? But pulling out a heart in order to live? Wrinkles appeared between Shiron’s brows at the completely incomprehensible words.

“You don’t have to understand. If you meet the conditions perfectly, I’ll gladly take out your heart and give it to you.”

After confirming that his wounds had healed, Demodoras cast Polymorph’s spell again. However, this time, he did not memorize the phase shift.

Phase shift is magic used to increase distance in order to engage in magical battles. There was no need now to have an amicable conversation.

A black shadow slowly rises from the floor. The red eyes closed and the huge body was swallowed whole.

and,

An amazing phenomenon occurred. The great darkness dispersed like fog, and a face that Siron recognized emerged from it.

A muscular giant without any clothes on.

A person who should never be here.

“…uncle?”

Siron looked at Demodoras in the form of Hugo with surprised eyes.

“Is this person your uncle?”

Demodoras looked around his body and smiled in satisfaction. The voice is the same. If it weren’t for the heat wave dragon’s nest, the reproduction rate was so high that even Siron would have been fooled.

“What are you doing.”

“I read your image and took on the appearance of the person I trust the most. It would be difficult if I were to be attacked as suddenly as before. But… why do I have a dislike for you instead of a liking for you?”

Demodoras felt strangely as Siron’s face distorted. Siron covered Latera’s eyes with his hands and sighed.

“…Are you asking because you really don’t know?”

“I don’t know. What’s the problem? This is the person you trust the most.”

“That d*ck… What is it? Does it look different? It’s true that he’s someone I trust, but it’s really burdensome to see him naked.”

There was an option for Siron to give Demodoras the coat, but Siron did not want to make that sacrifice.

The thought of the clothes I was wearing touching the object that kept shaking from earlier made me feel goosebumps not only on my forearms, but all over my body.

“You are a difficult person.”

“I’m not being picky.”

“No, you are picky. I have been doing it this way for quite a long time, and I have never had a problem with it. Not only with humans, but with angels and demons…”

“Oh, okay. I understand, so change your appearance quickly. We have a child here.”

“Hero, are you a child?”

“Who among these people is a kid? Of course it’s you.”

“Well, I’m 500 years old?!”

“I’m sorry, but no one treats me like an adult even though I’ve been unemployed in the corner of my room for 30 years.”

“…”

After all, he is a difficult person. Demodoras sighed and chanted the spell again.

Since the person I trust the most reacted negatively, I would have to change into another person… I just can’t imagine an appropriate image.

To dragons, humans are such beings. These people have weak mana and a poor body. Life is like flowing water, and the moment you recognize that you have made a connection, it disappears.

Of course, there was an impressive human named Kylie, but unfortunately, Demodoras couldn’t remember what a human looked like 500 years ago.

It’s not a matter of memory. Can’t we depict the air we breathe and the wind that passes by on drawing paper?

“How about this?”

So, Demodoras read Shiron’s image once more.

“He’s the second person you trust.”

“…”

“Looks like you’ve passed. Your image is radiating a strong positivity.”

Demodoras put his hand on his hip and gave a satisfied smile.

– Hyun Joon.

– You sick child. Look at this.

As expected, the recall rate was high this time. The resemblance is so similar that I can even hear hallucinations. Slap – Siron came to his senses by slapping his cheek. Still, he felt troubled because the heat on his face did not go away.

Siron took off his coat and held it out to her.

“Put it on.”

“Make sure you dress well.”

It is not an ordinary success, but a great success. Demodoras accepted the coat with a sense of pride.

Fluffy fur covered the white naked body, and black hair and sharp eyes peeked out from above.

“So, you’re giving me your heart to live?”

“…I’m not just giving it to you. I made it clear that there are conditions attached. But I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to answer your questions first.”

Demodoras chuckled as he watched Siron’s emotions fluctuate. There have been many people who have visited this place so far, but none have shown such intense agitation, so it occurred to me that this was indeed entertainment.

‘…was there one?’

500 years ago.

News of the death of the god she followed. It was time for Demodoras, who was feeling empty, to build a nest for a long rest.

Although it was not a human, an angel that radiated brilliant light once showed violent agitation.

-You are destined to die in 500 years!

-Destined to die, I will live quietly here from now on. Any further confusion is exhausting. Do you mean that someone with a grudge will come while I sleep soundly?

-That’s not the case… Anyway, I’m going to die! I’ll even swear to you if you want! So listen up!

The angel made an oath in a strange way that I had never seen before. It was a long time ago, but it was a story related to death, so Demodoras could remember it clearly.

-About 500 years from now… A man who ticks like a little boy will come to visit me. just in case. Don’t forget to check that he’s the one I said. Because there is a possibility.

-Aren’t you an agent of God? Why are you doing such a hassle?

-Because of me, that guy will be in danger of dying for no reason…

-Is that also a prophecy?

-No, I don’t know! The story ends here. I’m crying for no reason because of you!

The situation is somehow similar. At that time, we had a conversation with Polymorph, and the angel also had a feeling of shame and s*xual desire upon seeing the transformed appearance of Demodoras.

“A long time ago, a messenger from God came down and made a prophecy.”

Demodoras chuckled and cleared his throat.

“The angel said that if you don’t want to die, you should give your heart to the person who came here. It is said that this is the only way to avoid the fate of death.”

“…How can I avoid death if I give you my heart?”

“It is a fact that is not well known to the public. A dragon has two hearts. So, it is okay to give one to someone else.”

“?”

Siron looked down at Latera, wondering what she was talking about, and Latera also looked at Siron and shrugged her shoulders.

“…Is that true?”

“Well? I don’t know because I’m just breathing in the corner of the room with nothing to do?”

“Of course, it may not be the heart in the sense you know.”

Demodoras corrected the chaotic atmosphere and floated a cloud of light in the air.

“One is the heart that circulates and generates mana, and the other is that of mortals that spreads blood throughout the body.”

“Is it a short circuit?”

“It’s not something trivial like Danjeon. Just as stream water and lobster are not the same, the dragon’s heart is an independent organ that cannot be compared with anything else.”

“…”

“Well, I won’t be able to use magic after that.”

Demodoras laughed and prepared to take out the heart.

The man in front of me was the man of prophecy from 500 years ago. All the humans who came here either worshiped themselves or went crazy in fear, but the man in front of them matched the description of the angel in their memories.

Moreover, since he had an angel walking around, albeit a half-sized one, and a holy sword, Demodoras thought that he deserved to receive the heart of the heat wave dragon.

however,

Another process arose that I could not have imagined.

“for a moment.”

“…What’s going on?”

It must have been when he opened the front flap of his coat and made a blade out of the slimy darkness, and in the middle of that, Siron’s hand came out as if to stop him.

“…If I can’t use magic, will that form disappear?”

“That’s right. Right now, it looks like it has been reduced in size to fit the time, but if you can’t use magic, this skin won’t be able to maintain and will come loose.”

“I have a favor to ask.”

Siron spoke with earnestness. In response, Demodoras bit off the darkness on his hands and made an expression of seeing something interesting.

“Please? You are a greedy warrior. You even gave up your heart.”

“It’s not a difficult request.”

“What do you think it is?”

Demodoras tilted his head and half closed his eyes. Even though I felt confused as if a gust of wind was blowing, it wasn’t a difficult request.

If something takes a long time or is difficult to do, I will flatly refuse it. Waiting for her unexpected death prevented her from falling into a deep sleep, and Demodoras, who suffered from insomnia, did not have much patience.

But, fortunately, the worries were unfounded.

Siron, who had kissed his lips several times, finally uttered a request.

“Give me a hug.”

“…It’s definitely not a difficult request.”

He could have refused, but Demodoras spread his arms and smiled. The emotions that that person was showing from earlier were so sad and earnest… I almost felt sorry for them when I watched them.
