51 – Balaur Judge
-Ah… ….
Fear appears on Maya’s face.
I gave words of encouragement, but they didn’t reach Maya.
-Danger… do. Brother…… You need to run away.
Maya’s voice filled with fear.
I wonder if Maya suffered a lot from the judges.
It was probably the judges who killed the older sister dragon.
When you run away from the mountains, you have no choice but to meet the judge.
Maya’s body trembled.
-Sabu… That’s what the judges are aiming for. So Maya…… !
“Maya.”
I put my hand on Maya’s back and pulled her towards me.
It’s like this guy has been sticking to me lately.
It’s an unfamiliar action, but there’s nothing you can’t do if necessary.
Maya buried her body in my stomach.
-Hmph.
Maya buried her face in my stomach and didn’t move.
Maya’s tremors decrease slightly.
I said, rubbing his back.
“I know you are young. “It may be difficult to overcome the fear once experienced.”
The fear of death is something all swordsmen always bear.
No matter how much you train it, it will not go away even if it becomes dull.
“I won’t tell you to get over it right away. However, it is something that cannot be avoided forever. “I’ll set an example this time.”
The reason Maya is worried about me is because she doesn’t know my true skills.
The only time I showed my skills to Maya was when I overpowered her at Count Berman Castle.
It would be good to show the dignity of a teacher at this time.
“So, don’t try to take it all on your shoulders. I am your teacher. If you don’t know the way, look at me. For now, I will allow you to rely on me.”
I want Maya to become a strong swordsman inside.
So, for now, I allow you to depend on me.
So that we can become independent later.
That must be the role of a teacher.

Me and Maya went to the first floor of the inn.
Maya follows me, hiding her face behind my legs, as if she doesn’t dare to look at the first floor.
The lights were off on the first floor of the inn.
But I can see it. A man and a woman sitting at a table.
They are the dragon judges.
I pulled out my sword.
-A young thing bit a strict person.
A low-pitched voice.
A large man sitting on a chair at the table stands up.
Even though the surroundings were dark, the man was clearly looking at Maya.
-Fugitive, you know why we came here. The crime of daring to run away from the mountain range while being a dragon is a serious crime. We have come to condemn this.
The man declared.
Then he raised one hand and gathered hot magic power. Magical power reminiscent of flame. Is it a dragon that controls fire?
Dragons are basically excellent wizards.
-Rainbow-colored hair~ That’s right! Fugitive!
A woman sitting cross-legged next to a large man spoke.
A large magic circle is flashing beneath the woman.
The entire inn was covered with a barrier. It is a barrier that blocks internal noise and magic.
The woman spoke as if chewing.
-Looking at it, does it look like he’s a Charles Academy student next to him? The professor who will take care of you will never come, so think about dying peacefully.
Are you talking about me?
That’s funny.
I infused magical energy into the sword. Awaken the muscles of the whole body. I don’t plan on talking much with these guys. These guys are just actual opponents.
“Maya.”
I talk to Maya, who is still holding on to my pants.
-…… Yes.
Maya slowly removes her hand as if hesitating.
Maya’s body is shaking again.
From the time I discovered the Balaur judges.
“I’ll come back.”
I came down the stairs as if I were walking.
Maya was frozen in place.
-Ha…… It has pretty good mana, right? Are you trying to deal with us?
-For the crime of being with the target, you are also an accomplice. A crime that violates the rules of the dragon race. I will punish you now in the name of the judge.
The judges who speak to me.
After the man finished speaking, a bright flame raced across the magic circle.
Rarrr!!
-An unquenchable flame.
The man was, after all, a dragon of fire.
He filled the entire space on the first floor with fire, creating an environment where he could not reach himself.
That fire cannot be put out with water.
You can only put it to sleep with magical power.
-For our father, Bashmu.
The flames gradually become stronger.
The heat is coming to me.
I kicked my feet toward the judges.
Chaaa!
A wall of fire blocked my path, but I cut it with my sword and pressed it down with magic power.
I have no choice but to be ahead of them in terms of absolute magical power.
It would be easier to deal with than the swordsman.
The flame was suppressed by my magic and could not burn again.
-Why do you have magical power control?
The man was filled with doubts and injected magical power again, but he was unable to overcome my magical power.
I ran towards the man.
-Barrier!
The embarrassed man frowned and created a wall of his magic.
I struck the sword down on it.
Kigigigigigeek!!
A battle between the sword and the magic wall.
The magic wall is not easily broken. Resisting dragon magic.
I increased my magical power even more.
Kugugugugugu…… !
Magic power blooms from the whole body.
I raise my magical power to the limit that my body can withstand. A screaming body.
Enduring the pain of my trembling body, I remembered.
When I lived in the mountains, when I had not yet made the sword of Gaebyeok.
I wanted to make the moonlight bigger.
I hated the darkness that prevented me from seeing what was ahead. Because the invisible mountain was dangerous.
The only thing that guides me on the mountain is the pale light of the moon.
The sounds of unknown animals and insects made my ears ring dizzy.
I feel like this darkness will swallow me up.
I wanted to defeat it in the past… The sword was surrounded by light.
Kugugugugugu!
Light fills the first floor of the inn.
Magic power rushing in as if the sword would explode.
I went through the darkness.
Into the darkness that might swallow me up.
The moonlight illuminates the world faintly.
I wanted to illuminate everything in the world.
“Open the darkness.”
Now I am the guide of light.
Quaaa……… !!
Light overwhelms the two dragons.
The sword enters the wall of magical power, evaporates the entire wall, radiates out, and blows away the barrier.
This is an imitation of Gaebyeok’s sword.
I just made the light stronger, but it will be enough.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!!!
I lowered my sword completely.
The bright light that followed swept the two dragons.
-This…… What is this!!
The dragons, with their eyes wide open, saw their bodies melting and quickly returned to their original form.
Tsutsutsutsu!
The dragon’s large body, which is 10 meters long, slowly appears.
The dragons jumped out of the inn as if they were jumping out, and quickly avoided my light.
Quaaa!!!
A cloud of light evaporates one wall of the inn and leaves.
“aaah!”
Some people walking outside noticed the light and the dragon and screamed.
-Isin! You didn’t say there was a Master by the fugitive’s side!
-I have never felt such strong magical power. Are you saying that the management of magical power is higher than ours…? … ?
-Now we need to increase our distance! Fighting up close with the Master is suicidal!
-I understand.
The dragons spread their wings and try to fly up into the sky.
A red-scaled dragon and a brown-scaled dragon, respectively.
“Don’t miss it.”
I jumped and jumped on the red dragon’s back.
This guy is more dangerous than the brown-scaled dragon. It would be right to remove it first.
The floating body of a dragon.
The red dragon created fire magic to get rid of me.
Howling!
Flames covering the red dragon’s body.
-Burn to the ground, you sinner!
“If you can, try it.”
I neutralized the red dragon’s magic with magical power.
Flames that disappear where I am.
The red dragon turned his head and glared at me.
-Isin! I’ll take you hostage!
Voice of a new woman.
The brown dragon is trying to return to the inn.
Where Maya is.
“You are doing something useless.”
I wrapped my sword in light and decapitated the red dragon.
Park!
A red dragon with a large cut on the side of its neck.
-Kaaa!
After seeing that the red dragon was in pain, I crashed into the inn.
I can’t let the brown dragon touch Maya.
※
Maya saw the light that illuminated the darkness.
The light that dyed the world white was warm and beautiful.
It overpowered the two dragons that were roaring as if they were going to attack Maya at any moment, and even now, it sparkles and brightens up the first floor of the inn.
What Master created.
Maya was amazing.
That one human being can create such a wonder.
On the one hand, I felt sorry.
In fact, Maya couldn’t believe what Master said just now.
That Master overcomes the judges.
I know that Master beat me in the past.
Judges are experts who specialize in combat.
Except for the 11 elders, with the first dragon Vashumu at the top, the strongest dragons are the judges.
I would not dare to confront them as a human being.
Master drove out the judges.
As if driving out fear.
Maya tightly held the sword that her teacher had given her.
And then I looked down at the thread of the covenant that was connected to Master.
Originally, I thought it was the price of survival.
Why does it seem so precious now?
A thread that connects you to the Master who is there right now.
Maya felt overwhelmed.
How would you describe a teacher who does this for you?
Maya held the sword stronger.
And she moved forward little by little.
I want to see every single thing about Master.
While walking carefully as there were holes all over the floor of the inn, Maya felt a big presence.
A brown dragon covered in wounds here and there.
The brown dragon pushed her face into the first floor of the inn with a fierce look.
-Runaway! It’s been a while, right!?
Maya’s body froze.
The fear that had faded rises.
The brown dragon is the dragon in Maya’s memory.
-When you ran away with the dragon called your sister, I chased after you!
The brown dragon laughed bitterly.
-Shouldn’t you follow her older sister so she won’t be lonely? Huh? Cursed child.
A sarcastic look.
Nurna, a brown dragon twice as large as Maya’s body, unleashed her force as if to press down on Maya.
A ferocious magical power sweeps through the inn.
Maya came to mind even though I didn’t like it. When she ran away from the mountains with her older sister.
It was a quiet night.
※
[Gasp, gasp… omg.]
‘Ugh.’
My sister Yong and Maya collapsed in a remote cave, exhausted.
From Noble mtl dot com
In the past, when she ran away from the mountains with her older sister.
Maya, along with her older sister, uses teleportation as her own, and she was being chased by the ‘Hundreds of Judges.’
[Wait, let’s take a short break.]
‘Haak, haak…… Huh!’
Regardless of whether or not dirt got into her mouth and eyes, Maya and her sister fell down and watched.
Today was not a special day.
It just ran away when other dragons were caught off guard.
It was the time when the dragons were sleeping.
[Ugh.]
My sister was covered in scars.
It is very difficult for young dragons to easily escape from the hands of the judges.
The older sister frowned as she poured healing magic on her torn wing.
‘Sister!’
[Ugh… Phew…… That’s enough, treat your wounds!]
Maya’s body was relatively intact.
This is because my sister responded to the attack magic that the judges fired from afar.
Maya rolled her eyes and tried to cast her healing spell on her sister.
[Listen to me!]
Maya was a bit surprised, and carefully returned her magic.
Fortunately, her sister’s major wound was healing.
[You damn bastards. They were determined to treat us very badly.]
As her pain subsided, her older sister spit out her complaints.
Recently, other dragons have started stealing the game my sister catches.
The reason is that she doesn’t want to look bad.
Originally, for dragons, a meal was a time to eat together with other dragons, but the so-called ‘cursed children’ had to eat alone.
[They are telling us to starve to death.]
Purpose: You cannot function without eating.
Like a scorpion, it can remain active for a long time on an empty stomach, but it has already been over a month since other dragons have been stealing my sister’s meals.
Unable to endure her bullying for a long time, her older sister finally burst out.
[Now is the time to leave.]
