The Crimson Dragon seemed to have entered an unknown territory for the first time in her life.
Some of the humans living in this world had special powers, which allowed them to use various abilities.
Sometimes, watching Setinos Hunter or Kang Jin-ha, I thought that humans could become that strong.
But, as a human being Seo Hyun-woo, doesn’t it far exceed his expectations?
‘A white dragon? Did such a lineage exist? Luminous might know something.’
Crimson Dragon feels anticipation and fear at the same time and cannot take his eyes off Seo Hyun-woo.
It was just an imitation of a dragon, but I had never heard of a dragon with a white color.
Perhaps it is a descendant of an ancient dragon that went extinct a long time ago.
‘I can resonate with that person now. Perhaps they even saw my identity.’
Crimson Dragon concentrated his mind and began to convey his thoughts to Seo Hyun-woo.
Dragons were able to talk even if they were far away from each other.
Now, Seo Hyun-woo could use the dragon’s power, so he would be able to communicate easily.
‘…Did you reject me?’
The Crimson Dragon opened its eyes in great bewilderment.
No matter how weak he was, he was a dragon who inherited a pure bloodline.
On the other hand, Seo Hyun-woo had only a few characteristics with a little bit of dragon power.
He would not be able to erase that will without inheriting the dragon’s lineage just like himself.
‘Is there anything you want to say to me?’
‘How are you…’
Crimson Dragon looks up at Seo Hyun-woo, feeling the voice resonating in his head.
At the same time, Seo Hyun-woo was also looking down at himself with his cold eyes.
Blue eyes were shining brightly, and it seemed that he was proving that he was a dragon.
‘I can follow that. If you’re looking down on me and trying to have a conversation, you’d better stop now.’
‘I never underestimated you. I just want to chat for a moment.’
‘You are limited in what you can say here. Kill the Yellowy Dragon and ask him to bring back his soul, or ask who gave me protection.’
‘… How much do you know?’
The crimson dragon feels a tingling sensation in its spine as it clenches its teeth.
There was no way humans in this world could know about resonance or the spirit of a dragon.
How much does a human named Seo Hyun-woo know about dragons?
‘Do I have to tell you all of those things?’
‘You must already know who I am. He must know what situation I’m in.’
‘I know well. Now you are not in a position to negotiate with me. Even if I ask you earnestly, I will not listen to you.’
‘You’re a really fun person.’
I thought that Crimson Dragon might have a vague hostility towards Seo Hyun-woo.
Seo Hyun-woo looked through everything and was thinking about his own heart.
If he was clumsy, he might be disturbed by Seo Hyun-woo.
‘So what answer can you give me?’
‘What do you want from me?’
‘I don’t want anything from you. Are you so useless?’
‘Kah ha ha! You know I’m a crimson dragon, but you’re still talking like that?’
‘I don’t know why you’re talking like this. Do you think I can’t kill you?’
‘…’
Crimson Dragon is engulfed in primal fear with its entire body rigid.
Seo Hyun-woo knew enough about himself, and did not show even the slightest hesitation.
Rather, it was to the extent that I thought that I was out of my mind because I was discussing death over the dragon.
‘If you don’t want to die at my hands, you’d better stay quiet. You can make this world dangerous at any time. The reason I’m trying to kill the Yellow Dragon right now is purely for your benefit.’
‘There’s nothing good about killing me. The other dragons will not stand still.’
‘I’ll notice your death, but I’m not going to take revenge on you. You don’t get along well with other dragons, are you? That’s why I tried to survive somehow by clinging to Jinha Kang.’
The Crimson Dragon couldn’t say any more.
Everything Seo Hyun-woo said was true, and for now, he had no choice but to act like this.
Even if he met a Luminous Dragon or a Blaine Dragon, he would not have tried to help him.
‘So you’re going to kill me?’
‘Not right now. Depending on the circumstances, it may not kill you. Kang Jin-ha can still hold you.’
‘Are you trying to spy on me?’
‘That’s what Kang Jin-ha should do. Of course we must not forget that I am.’
Seo Hyun-woo perfectly wedges it in and waits for the Crimson Dragon to answer.
No matter what the answer was, it wouldn’t change the outcome.
I only gave him a light warning because I had the opportunity to talk to the Crimson Dragon.
‘Can you beat Elowy without resonating with me? It must be very difficult.’
‘… Humans in this world are not weak. I can win enough without your help.’
Seo Hyun-woo is a little startled, but doesn’t express his feelings.
Why does the Crimson Dragon think it can resonate with itself?
But there was no reason for the Crimson Dragon to lie in this situation.
‘That’s what I know. But surviving against Elowee is not easy. You don’t want to lose your colleagues, do you?’
‘Even if it resonates, I won’t do it with you. I don’t want to lend my body to someone like you.’
Resonance meant the awakening and the dragon with the right conditions to become one with each other.
As a result, the soul of the dragon was overlaid on the body of the awakened, and the awakened temporarily gained the power and magic of the dragon.
However, as the assimilation rate decreased, the resonance effect and retention time decreased, so it was not always a good result.
In addition, since the body of the awakened is directly controlled by the dragon, Seo Hyun-woo had no choice but to be suspicious.
‘I’m already on the side of humans. Now come and betray me, it’s my loss.’
‘I think I said it before. You are not in a position to negotiate with me.’
Crimson Dragon feels disconnected from Seo Hyun-woo and is troubled.
As Seo Hyun-woo said, he could have killed the Yellowy Dragon without resonating with him.
However, if you want to safely and quickly kill the Yellowy Dragon, resonating with yourself would be the best option.
‘If you don’t resonate with that person, it’s hard to get a soul. Should I throw myself away?’
***
The Yellowy Dragon was gasping for breath and detecting the magical powers that surrounded him one by one.
Even if he couldn’t see ahead, he could somehow cope with it if he could only feel the magic.
However, I thought it would be rather unsettling because humans did not attack.
‘Now I have to fight alone.’
The Yellowy Dragon had already grasped that other troops were coming towards this side through the Terra Golems.
Some of them were quite strong, and the Terra Golems were being annihilated in an instant.
If more time was delayed here, additional troops would join those humans.
‘Crimson will stick with the human side.’
As soon as the Yellowy Dragon came face to face with the Crimson Dragon, it was immediately recognized that it was weakened.
Perhaps he was trying to absorb his soul by borrowing human power.
The situation was not easy, so he did not choose any means and methods.
‘The dragon-imitation guy and the crimson made me back down… but the problem is with them.’
Even before, there was a human who instantly annihilated the Terra Golems that had been placed underground.
If many humans had joined forces, the result would have been understood, but only one person stepped forward.
Perhaps the humans in front of them were the ones who came this far as the real strong ones.
‘… Among them, there is a human who has been blessed by a dragon. How did you get your protection?’
It was extremely rare for a dragon to grant protection to living things.
Giving you protection meant that you had enough qualifications and faith in that creature at the same time.
Of course, there were times when they received a satisfactory gift and paid the price, or there were cases where blessings were granted for a special reason.
I thought that maybe that person had conditions closer to the latter.
‘People who receive protection are the most dangerous. If I summon a dragon, I have no choice but to lose this battle.’
The Yellowy Dragon began to breathe in little by little, engulfed in the thought of getting rid of it quickly.
There was no guarantee that they would be able to defeat them.
Even if the dragon could not be summoned, the fact that he received protection is not too threatening.
‘You have to attack when you’re together. After they disperse, it becomes difficult to deal with.’
The Yellowy Dragon tried to use Breath once more as the group continued.
Because he had already used the breath twice, he had consumed a lot of mana, and his body had accumulated quite a bit of fatigue.
But he could not miss this opportunity, so he was willing to take the risk.
Whoops…
Aww!
The Yellowy Dragon blew out a strong breath towards where the strong were hiding.
Unlike the breath he had used before, its size and power were even higher.
The speed at which it was fired was also fast, so it would not have been easy to avoid it.
“Oh!”
“I have to stop it!”
At the cry of the saint, Han Yoo-jeong moves first and spreads a wide black air current.
After that, Se-in Yoon builds a thick earth wall high and blocks the front of the team members.
Lastly, Shin Da-hee created a white shield, and Baek Seo-yeon controls the silver jewels and implements the electric current shield.
Zuzu… He each!
A ray of orange light meets a black stream, and it can’t go any further.
However, the black current seemed to gradually fade away, and then a large hole appeared.
“Too fast…”
Yoon Se-in, noticing that the soil wall is getting thinner, pours out his magical energy generously.
If it goes on like this, not only the earthen wall, but also the shield created by Shin Da-hee and Baek Seo-yeon would be broken.
It was good that he died, but he had to save the other Setinos Hunters and Miterichi’s students.
‘Are you going to see the end of this place?’
Seo Hyun-woo spreads his wings wide and spreads magic in all directions.
Then, the white pieces of light seep into the team members and transfer their magical power.
“Vice President, prepare to attack”
“Now, to stop that…”
“You can stop it. You can attack from this street.”
“… let’s try it.”
At the same time as Baek Seo-yeon’s answer, the orange ray gradually fades.
The color of Shin Da-hee’s protective shield became clearer, and the thin wall of soil was gradually getting thicker.
The amount of the black air stream gradually increased, and then the orange light stream was wrapped around it.
‘I haven’t even used Rune’s blessing yet. As expected, my abilities have been strengthened because of the dragon’s protection.’
