Chapter 242: Like a dragon (4)
Dragon.
Because they were born as the king of all things, they looked down on everything.
But no one blamed dragons for being arrogant.
Dragons had the almighty ability to make even arrogance seem like humility. For such a dragon, defeat and humiliation were something they were not used to.
It was also true for Eunaxus.
An old dragon who had lived for eternity.
Even if Mothers plan started with his own death.
The end of being beaten at the hands of the kin who betrayed him was by no means pleasant.
To be honest, he felt resentful.
But he just desperately turned away from it.
He didnt have the right to be so upset.
He was constantly pessimistic about himself.
But the moment the Dragon Heart stopped.
The last Dragon Fear he screamed out.
It must have contained resentment.
I am ashamed
Claudie must have noticed his resentment.
Eunaxus couldnt raise his head.
It was because he knew the meaning behind Hoyeols words.
With the purpose of discipline and corporal punishment
He was willing to be with the old dragon in his final moments.
The task was truly too much for him.
Eunaxus could not readily accept it.
You will definitely be in danger.
As he had said, he had failed to persuade his own kin.
Not only did they not follow Mothers wishes, they even ignored the oath with Claudie Wasnt it obvious in the way they made him look like this when he announced Claudies return?
Eunaxus felt his heart beating wildly.
Also, I deserve to die, but
Because it was his own heart, he could notice it.
This was the light before death[1]The light before death here specifically refers to the state in which a person briefly regains energy right before death. .
It wouldnt be strange if he died once the Dragon Heart stopped.
So even if he died like this, he didnt care, but
Claudie, you care.
The moment he thought like that.
He heard a voice.
Are you afraid, Eunaxus?
!
Of your approaching death.
The calm words hit close to home.
He had lived for eternity.
So he thought he was ready to accept death at any time.
Didnt he tremble in fear in front of the shadow of death?
It was still the same now.
I am afraid.
He didnt know when his heart would stop.
He was afraid that he might put Claudie in danger.
He wasnt able to answer easily.
So he couldnt help but feel shocked.
If youre afraid, Ill be with you.
What do you mean?
I will witness the moment you close your eyes.
What it meant was simple.
Whether the purpose was discipline, corporal punishment, or to pay off his own resentment.
It was really about moving forward together.
Even if he was in crisis.
Eunaxus could not understand.
How can you go that far for me
The answer was spoken as if it was obvious.
So you wont be forgotten.
!
Only then you will live forever in legend.
Even if he died, he would not die.
He would become a legend and live forever.
At this moment.
More than anything, Claudie was giving a warm last farewell.
It was really too much for him.
Eunaxus bowed his head.
This old dragon understood Claudies intention.
But one thing had to be made clear.
He was not qualified to accept the offer.
Eunaxus continued.
But I am old and have no ability left to protect you. The path Im taking may lead you into danger, Claudie.
He was satisfied with just Claudies intention alone.
Thanks to that comfort, he didnt fear death anymore.
They didnt have to fly to the dead together.
But soon, an answer returned and Eunaxus kept his mouth shut.
Those were not words someone who was about to face dozens of dragons would say.
You dont have to worry.
?
Even if dozens, hundreds, thousands of dragons are against me.
!
I wont die.
.
.
.
[The Last Adventurer: You will not die on the Arcana continent. Upon death, you return to reality immediately and cannot access the Arcana continent for a certain period of time. Cooldown: 24 hours]
I wont die.
At least not in the Arcana Continent!
I needed to utilize that fraudulent effect efficiently.
Especially now that I could travel to and from the Arcana Continent.
In that regard.
This death should never be fruitless.
I was already prepared for death.
Wasnt it natural to be prepared?
I was going to speak formally in front of not just one or two, but dozens of dragons. I had a conscience, too. I didnt have the slightest hope that my life would escape intact.
By the way.
I am really fortunate to have [The Last Adventurer].
Your stubbornness is no joke, Grandfel.
Because his boomer temperament couldnt overlook it, he was going to discipline the dragons with corporal punishment.
If something like this happened in the Zero Mountain in reality.
Just imagining it is terrible.
So, for now, lets consider it fortunate that this situation happened in the Arcana Continent.
Of course, that didnt mean I could just be satisfied with it.
I was slowly realizing this while talking to Eunaxus.
Claudies presence was increasingly tightening its grip on me!
I really thought this wouldnt happen.
Even though I had guessed that the great family was Claudie.
I denied it until the end.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldnt understand it.
It made no sense whatsoever that Grandfels setting was materialized. The scale of the Claudie family becoming a reality was another matter in itself.
I want to seriously deny the real reality and the dark history.
Grandfel definitely had said it.
I wont believe it until I see it with my own eyes.
Just listening to what others say and making conclusions?
Even if the one who said it was Eunaxus.
Given Grandfels noble nature, there was no way he could do that.
Thanks to that, unless I found the Claudie family mansion.
Grandfel wouldnt hastily accept any story about Claudie.
It was just that.
The situation is a little different
Damn it, in many ways, I had a lot to think about.
However, in times like these, I should think about it in a simpler way.
First, solve the problems you have one by one, Hoyeol.
I looked at the message.
[World Quest: The Old Dragons Last Flight]
The dying old dragon made a decision.
He said he would burn his last days for the future of his kin.
The continent will tremble at the old dragons scolding.
Witness the end of the Old Dragon. (In Progress)
Help the Old Dragon to reach the [Dragon Temple]. (In Progress)
Two quest goals appeared.
The first goal was the basic goal, and the second goal must be an additional quest goal brought by my big mouth. By the way, the [Dragon Temple]. Just looking at it, you could tell it was not an ordinary place.
The Summoning of All Dragons was held at the [Dragon Temple].
According to Eunaxus.
[Dragon Temple] could be accessed through the top floor of the Zero Mountains.
It was said to be a special space.
If I thought about it with the Arcana system
This is the final content that can be opened only after clearing the Zero Mountain.
It was literally a mountain beyond a mountain.
But it totally made sense.
The elves had their hometown, Sisley.
The dragons would have their own space too.
It wouldnt be strange if the temple of the dragons existed.
I was just worried.
Before I could even hit the rock with an egg
The egg might break first.
Well, just think about the information about the Zero Mountain that appeared on Earth.
The recommended level was [not recommended to anyone].
But this place was even higher than Zero Mountain.
If I were really alone, I wouldnt have even thought about entering.
No, I wouldnt have been able to enter even if I dared to.
Because the Zero Mountain no longer exists on the Arcana Continent.
But with Eunaxus, it didnt matter much now.
Well, hadnt I told you?
Dragons could rip through dimensions.
Soon, Eunaxus asked for my understanding.
Even if it is loud, I hope you can understand.
Then he shouted.
Screech!
Then the air was torn apart.
I watched that scene silently.
Although my arrogant iron mask wouldnt reveal it.
I was actually pretty dumbfounded right now.
Someone did his best to tear it apart
But Eunaxus opened a gap in dimension without difficulty even with his fallen body. This was the difference in blood. Superior to a golden spoon[2]Golden spoon means someone whos born with high social status and wealth from birth. , this was what a diamond spoon felt like.
The moment I swallowed my sighs without expressing it.
Eunaxus bowed his head to me.
Claudie, please enter first.
No, I am going first?
Wait, wait.
Hey, is there really a reason why I should?
Uh, when I heard his story.
I didnt think the dragons in the Dragon Temple would be favorable to me. Eunaxus was more familiar to them so wouldnt it be better for him to show his face first?
The moment I thought that.
Eunaxus continued.
Looking at his own shoulder.
Im ashamed of my appearance.
Oh, maybe it was because of that reason and not something else.
Eunaxus had both wings ripped off by his kin.
That meant he couldnt go ahead and open a way out.
But if thats the case, you dont have to worry, Eunaxus.
Since he was perfect, he naturally didnt know.
In this world, there were countless ways to make up for your flaws.
Ahem. Its not something to brag about but Im
A demon hunter.
I came all the way here with a class that had missing screws, didnt I?
Was there anyone better at trickery than me?
Raise your head, Eunaxus.
I spoke to Haiel.
Haiel, give these wings to Eunaxus.
If you suddenly ask me what kind of wings these are.
What kind of wings do I own?
Of course.
These were one of twelve magic tools that I rented from the Mage Tower.
Emitting a hundred lights that I was very familiar with.
[Luxury Item White Elytra].
Eunaxus, I am not sure if you know, but.
Other than the level, most magic tools didnt have any other restrictions.
This meant that it could be worn regardless of race.
Haiel will obey Masters order.
Slide
Heiel put the White Elytra on Eunaxus vast back.
Paa!
Then light flowed out from the elytra.
In place of Eunaxus severed wings.
No, much more brilliant and splendid than that.
It transformed into wings that fit Eunaxus size.
Looking at the sight, I thought to myself.
Senior Kiko, I understand your sincerity.
I was the only one who rented White Elytra from the Mage Tower.
According to Marcelo, it was difficult for other mages to use even 10% of the performance of the elytra.
For my sake and for the study of enchantment.
Senior of Enchantment Magic, Kiko, reported that she succeeded in giving new effects to the White Elytra. That new effect was the flight effect.
Its something I really need to be grateful for, but
When I thought about myself wearing that, I was truly horrified.
As if the fluttering jacket wasnt enough, the elytra was flapping like a real wing.
I already felt like my face was heating up.
I quickly opened my mouth.
Do you like the new wings?
So dont even think about turning it down, Eunaxus.
.
Eunaxus flapped the wings once or twice and then opened his mouth.
His voice became even more subdued.
Ill open the way.
Did he become quiet because he didnt like the fancy design?
I have that concern, but it cant be helped, Eunaxus.
Were not in a situation where we can afford to be considerate of our tastes.
Well, then me too.
Manifest magic.
I would have to catch up with Eunaxus who would be flying ahead of me.
Lets see.
I wondered how much my mana had been regenerated.
The moment I tried to check the remaining amount of mana.
Bow!
Not only Eunaxus bowed his head.
He even kneeled down before me?
Then he spoke out.
Claudie, please, to this humble old dragon Eunaxus. With the wings you have given, may you grant me the honor to fly with you?
If Dragon Knight Skal heard that, he would faint!
