Episode 101.
The story of the Elder Dwarf was a story that could have been heard in legends.
“The black dragon that went mad like that destroyed the world. All species have been destroyed.”
“Then how did humans survive?”
“Yeah, I don’t know. How can a person who died in the past know the future?”
I was still curious
“Then why are you here?”
“Um… I guess…”
The Elder Dwarf said he had to make atonement.
That word didn’t make sense to me at all.
“The Atonement, to whom… God?”
I thought that God might have imprisoned my soul in this space to make atonement.
“No.”
“then···?”
“For everyone.”
every?
what is it all about?
“Dwarves, elves, half-dragons, fairies, and spirits.”
All of them were big races that only came out of legends.
“What should I apologize to them for?”
What on earth are you confined to in a space like this to apologize?
“They were all powerful enough to have stories about the races of that era left until the very distant future.”
He naturally nodded.
This race was stronger than humans.
different from birth.
“But that strength ruined the arena of harmony.”
“If it’s a place of harmony…?”
“Wars between tribes broke out frequently, and racial supremacy emerged. This is the case with all races.”
It was the first time I had heard the word, but I knew it roughly.
Dwarves must have regarded only dwarves and elves superior only to elves.
Other races were considered uncivilized.
“That’s how the mad dragon appeared in the state of the rift between the races.”
“Black Dragon…”
“Yes, the entire body is a black dragon. It was a situation where all races had to fight together.”
“I couldn’t have done that.”
They probably didn’t want to ally with other races that were considered uncivilized.
“okay. each was destroyed Each tribe was destroyed individually.”
“But why are you here?”
“It’s a punishment and an opportunity from God.”
Let’s earn a chance?
“God grieved. The continent was destroyed because of the emotions between the private races.”
“Is that why you imprisoned your souls here?”
“Yeah, it led to repeated fights here. With that monstrous black dragon. I can’t even remember how many times I repeated it.”
Apparently, as time passed, the races of that era gradually appeared.
“A long time has passed and the bad feelings between the races have disappeared.”
“Then it must be the Black Dragon…”
If they had defeated the Black Dragon through an alliance, they wouldn’t be here.
“It’s embarrassing, but it’s as you think. A perfect union has been achieved in a strong alliance. but i lost again Only then did I realize God did not give us a chance, but continued punishment.”
I couldn’t get anything out.
Speaking of despair, it would be the face of the current Elder Dwarf.
That’s why the elder dwarf’s complexion didn’t look good.
“That made me think, if we had formed an alliance like this and dealt with the Black Dragon when there were many races left, not just as few as there are now…”
It’s not exact, but if it was, the victory would have been won by an alliance between different races.
Even if it was the strongest Black Dragon.
“however!”
It was the Elder Dwarf who suddenly spoke in a strong tone.
“You appeared.”
“yes?”
“Until now, there has never been a person like you in the repeated situations. Except for one old man.”
Well, this was the fourth ordeal.
It wouldn’t have been easy to reach this ordeal.
If not, you’ve been through some other kind of ordeal.
“And a long time ago, when a human appeared, he almost defeated the black dragon.”
“is that so?”
“Yes! And you are definitely stronger than the humans I saw back then. That said, it will be possible to defeat it for sure this time.”
The Elder Dwarf was genuinely happy.
But there was one curious thing.
If I met a human in the past and almost got out of this bondage, it was normal to greet me, a human who came back.
But the other dwarves were wary of me.
Suddenly a thought crossed my mind.
“What did that human do at the end?”
An elder dwarf who is silent for a while.
“You… you’re really sharp…”
“What did that human do?”
“I betrayed right before I fell. They attacked us, not the black dragon.”
“…”
I couldn’t say anything.
It felt more pitiful because I was in a situation where I was on the verge of being knocked down.
Why did that person make that choice?
“Please believe me.”
“I still think so.”
“Because I can only get out of here by defeating the Black Dragon.”
“Okay.”
And I asked a question.
“But when will the other races show up?”
“It will appear over time.”
Well, there was one more important thing than that.
“Tell me about the Black Dragon. Everything possible.”
If you lose weight, you win 100 times.
As much as I found out about the Black Dragon, it should be easy to deal with.
***
The day before to face the Black Dragon has arrived.
What appeared this time was not a monster, but a different race.
“Is this the last of a different race…”
Half Dragon.
It was the most powerful race among the two races.
Although classified as a subspecies of dragons, they were not treated as monsters.
He would be a dragon, but he wasn’t a dragon.
He has the power of a dragon, but surpasses the dragon’s intellect.
“Ohhh… are you human…”
It was the half-dragon who recognized me at once.
I tried to shake hands with the half-dragon, but the half-dragon attacked me.
“You filthy traitor!”
It seemed that he had attacked me because of an earlier incident.
It wasn’t the first time, so I lightly dodged the half-dragon’s attack and punched my stomach.
The half-dragon groaned and fell slowly.
“I’m sorry, but I won’t betray you.”
At first, I tried to solve it with words, but the angry people of the different races did not listen to me.
Even if there is a dwarf next to me.
So the method I chose was colorless violence.
After hitting him once and calming him down, he solved it with words.
Fortunately, this method worked well except for the elves.
“Keukheuk… kuh… kuhhahahahaha.”
The half-dragon started to laugh, perhaps driven mad by the sudden pain.
I couldn’t help but be perplexed by such a sight.
“You’re definitely stronger than the humans I’ve seen before.”
“…?”
“The stronger you are, the less likely you are to lie. I will trust you.”
It was a half-dragon who believed in me at once.
I liked that exhilaration.
“Oh… what’s your name?”
“This is the half-dragon Kilian.”
Killian.
It was a good-sounding name.
I said, shaking hands with Killian.
“nice to meet you. My name is Suhar.”
It was Kilian who finally accepted my handshake.
“Let’s get out of this dirty bondage this time.”
Killian said that they would return to the place where their people belonged.
In addition, I was told to leave the explanation to me.

Now, there is only a little time left before we face the Black Dragon.
“I need to do some maintenance now.”
Dwarves, elves, half-dragons, fairies, and spirits all appeared.
Together with the different races that came out ahead, they fought monsters and reached a certain level of unity.
The only one who couldn’t finish the merge was the half-dragon.
“Certainly, if we had formed an alliance earlier, the different races would have defeated the Black Dragon.”
It’s just my guess, but I’m pretty sure it was.
Since only the elite of the race were imprisoned here, there must have been many troops in those days.
‘Besides, if we shared each other’s skills.’
A dwarf’s weapon-making ability, an elf’s magic, a half-dragon’s physical ability, a fairy’s wisdom, and finally, the mystical power of energy.
If all of these things worked together to deal with the Black Dragon, it would have easily escaped the crisis.
But they didn’t.
That’s why it perished.
“How pitiful it is.”
perished at light threats.
Even God was angry with me.
However, although they are now friendly with each other, they have not yet been able to get out of the bondage of being killed by the Black Dragon.
It’s just pitiful.
“Let me get out of here.”
I moved to where the dwarves were.
Prior to fighting the Black Dragon, he entrusted the maintenance of the exorcism sword to the Dwarves.
By now, my exorcism sword should have changed to a more advanced state.
And that sword will be of great help to me.
***
All the different races are lined up.
Only the elite gathered, but after all gathered, the number was quite large.
All of them were ready to fight the Black Dragon.
“Hey, Suhar, before we fight the black dragon, can we go up to the podium and say something?”
Those were the words of Kilian, who was next to him.
I wondered if I could say something.
Killian, who noticed my troubles, spoke up.
“Originally, in a war, the strongest of the group has to announce the start of the war.”
I was the strongest among them.
However, there was also one strong person in each race that could be compared to me.
For example, there was the half-dragon Kilian, the dwarf Kunta, the elf Midria, the fairy Pia, and the spirit kingdom.
“…”
Without saying a word, I looked at the strong men of each race.
Everyone nodded except for the elves’ Midria.
It meant acceptance.
‘Is Midria still upset?’
Elves considered violence barbaric.
However, I didn’t get along well with the elf because I had a conversation with the elf after the violence.
At least, the alliance was able to continue thanks to the intervention of other races.
At that time, the first victim of Zen violence was Midria.
It seemed embarrassing that Midria, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, had been defeated by a human in one fell swoop.
Having received their permission, I shouted.
“I know you have bad memories of humans!”
I mentioned the betrayal of humans right before defeating the Black Dragon.
Everyone’s expressions darkened at once.
In the circumstances preceding the battle, this story would have been a demoralizing move.
But I deliberately brought out the bad memories they had.
“I am well aware that you are a little dubious about me as well.”
Some eyes stung me.
Purely, the elves would hate me for using violence, but other races were different.
A human betrayal that is strongly remembered.
that would be very big
“Because I can’t provide any evidence, I can’t easily come up with a request to believe in me. Just believe in my strength!”
It was my sincerity.
I meant to believe in my strength and think that they would rather use me.
I wonder if my sincere feelings were conveyed, and everyone responded favorably to my speech with cheers.
“thank you.”
I nodded and came down from the podium.

Now it’s time to face the black dragon.
I touched the exorcism sword on my side.
‘Performance has improved beyond comparison to before.’
Even with the Dwarf’s technological prowess, he thought that he would not be able to make the exorcism sword much better than before.
That’s right, the exorcism sword was a sword made with the most outstanding technology of its time.
I just thought it would get a little better.
However, my thoughts have completely changed after receiving the Exorcist Sword.
‘It became a sword that only appeared in legends.’
I felt it the moment I lifted the exorcist sword.
It was different from the prediction of the exorcism sword.
The sharpness was incomparable to before.
Moreover, there was no resistance to accepting mana.
‘There might be some dwarves who have excellent skills.’
Even in the era when the dwarves lived, the ore that was dismissed as a legend was mixed with the exorcism sword.
Thanks to that, the performance of the Exorcist Sword became perfect.
It probably has the best performance among existing swords.
As I touched the exorcism sword, I muttered involuntarily.
“If I only had the Exorcism Sword, I wouldn’t be afraid of the Black Dragon.”
