Became a tyrant of defense games (Episode 628)
◈ 628. [Free exploration] Thorn Tree Road (3)
The combination of [Elemental Disintegration] - [Frontmost Flag] - [Mystic Eyes of Command] - [Be Mine!], which can be said to be a sure-win combo, was used..
[In order to use [Mystic Eyes of Command], you have to make eye contact, but this was solved with Violet's genjutsu..
No matter how much I was a member of the Black Dragon Corps, I couldn't resist this winning combo..
A control sphere in the shape of a dog collar appeared on Parekian's neck below his faceless head, and tightened his neck..
“Oh yeah!”
operation success!
This new legendary pocket... … Oh, no, anyway, we succeeded in capturing the named monster. I clenched my fists. You belong to me!
[Black Dragon's Claw Parekhian (SSR) has been added to the ally.!]
- current loyalty : 30(+15)/100
- Absolute Command: 1 time
‘huh?’
I was puzzled by the level of loyalty, which was much higher than expected..
[[Frontmost flag] Aside from the additional corrections, why is the basic loyalty 30? For a boss monster of this level, it would be normal for its loyalty to be 0..
“……It's not a very pleasant thing. I guess you're kind of... … It seems like they are considered the same kind..”
Dusk Bringer, who was observing from the side, explained. Maybe it's because it's the same polyp, but it looks like Parekhian's meaning can be read to some extent..
I tilted my head..
“You mean the same kind? I am?”
“Why, you know that thing you picked up a while ago. I think it's because of that.…….”
“ah.”
Dusk Bringer shook his shoulders and spoke as if he didn't want to say it, but I understood right away..
dragon heart.
In the past, when I collapsed due to depletion of mana, Mumyeong fed me some, and thanks to that, I have been fighting well without experiencing any phenomenon such as depletion of mana..
I understand it roughly as the feeling of a warm jade board settling inside my body..
Anyway, the dragon heart I ate at that time was that of a black dragon - and since I have the heart of a member of my race inside my body, it seems that this Parekhian guy also acknowledges me to some extent..
Thanks to this, loyalty correction occurred..
After storing Parekhian in subspace, I clapped my hands and shouted to the heroes around me..
“Battle over! The situation is over! Everyone has worked hard, let's fix it.!”
Heroes spread out all over the place started maintenance with a loud noise..
It was a violent operation, and even though it ended in Phase 1, it was a dragon raid, so many of the vanguard heroes were injured..
The priests who came with them sprayed healing magic on the wounded and bandaged them. While watching this, I gestured to Unknown..
“Anonymous, just a moment.”
“hmm.”
Nameless, who was standing there lost in thought, came running when I called. i asked her.
“A long time ago, you fed me a dragon heart. don't remember?”
“of course. I remember.”
“They said that what you fed me back then was the heart of a black dragon... … Is there another reason why you fed me that??”
Was there some intention behind feeding it? I had doubts before.
Dusk Bringer, who came behind me, pricked up his ears and listened intently to this conversation..
Nameless answered readily..
“The biggest reason is that your condition at the time was unusual, so you needed to ingest a powerful source of magical power..”
“Yeah, I did..”
“The next reason is… … Because the heart was your trophy to begin with..”
“huh?”
It was my loot? that is?
“‘The youngest daughter of the Black Dragon in ‘Fiery Colosseum’… … Didn't you kill Kilitian??”
“ah. huh. It did.”
Drops of blood from the black dragon. The youngest member of the Black Dragon Corps. Kilitian.
It was the story of the dragon that was killed by adjusting the Colosseum rules at the beginning of the first year, which already feels distant..
“The dragon heart you ate is the heart that came from the dragon's body..”
“ah…….”
It was the heart of the guy I killed back then..
Surely, at that time, the Colosseum was corrected, and the right half of my body was cut off with a single shot from the [Black Queen] and I died..
I forgot about it because I wasn't in a situation to collect loot, but it looks like a dragon heart was extracted from that dragon..
“It spun around and came into my hand. I am a merchant here.”
“indeed…….”
“I also knew that you were the one who killed the owner of that heart. So, from the beginning, it was something that had karma tied to you. That's why I thought it was inevitable and gave it to you..”
“It was something like that..”
At that time, I suddenly thought, “Why Dragon Heart?” I felt like that. It went on like this.
“And, if we have to clash with the Black Dragon Legion someday,.”
Anonymous stared straight at me..
“Because I thought eating their hearts would help..”
“……why?”
I didn't understand so I tilted my head, and anonymous explained..
“You must have met the Night Bringer.?”
“huh. We met.”
I remembered the end of Lord of the Flies. That bastard dragged you to Crossroads..
“He is a being that far surpasses the ark of mortality. And a transcendent person can only be confronted if he or she has a suitable level..”
It is difficult for a transcendental to inflict damage if he or she does not have the same qualifications..
It was the same reason why I had to prepare the Dragon Slayer equipment in a difficult way in the game..
Equipment forged from the bones, leather, and magic core of the Black Dragon Legion was on par with the Night Bringer and could cause damage..
“Although she is a low-ranking person, Kilitian is without a doubt the daughter of the Black Dragon. You killed the dragon and took its life-heart. Now I have the same qualifications as a dragon..”
The Heart of the Dragonjong in the Mythical Age.
I hunted and consumed it myself, and this process alone produced a magical effect, and before I knew it, I was qualified..
“Now you can choose. Become a ‘Slayer’, a being who kills dragons. or not…….”
Unknown glanced at Dusk Bringer standing next to me..
“Become a dragon yourself and become a member of 'Bringer'.”
“……!”
I remembered something Dusk Bringer said to me a long time ago..
- Do you know what happens when an ordinary human consumes dragon heart??
- It becomes a ‘vessel’ that can contain the dragon. It means that you are now halfway qualified to become a dragon.!
I was scared and glanced towards Dusk Bringer..
“Aaaah! Grand Duke, what should I do?! I don't want to be that dragon! I like people!”
“……Arthur. If you want to become a dragon, do you think it's that easy?.”
Dusk Bringer, who scolded a gym beginner who was worried that going to the gym would result in a lumpy physique, let out a sigh..
“You have become a vessel and have the qualifications, but that is all. To become a real dragon, there are more steps to go through and more materials to have. don't worry too much.”
“Really?! Isn't he just spewing fire out of his mouth?! I'm just flying around with wings?!”
No, now that I say it, I kind of crave it.?!
“okay. you are a solid human being.”
Dusk Bringer nodded..
“We all want you to remain human.”
Nameless also nodded at those words..
“I gave you that dragon heart in the hope that you would become a slayer. I had no desire for you to become a bringer..”
Afterwards, Nameless laughed bitterly..
“But, Ash.”
“huh?”
“Even if, just in case, you transform into something… … We are friends. Don't forget that..”
“…….”
Above the anonymous, warmly smiling face, the image of the final boss I met in the game - 'The Lake Princess Who Can't Sleep' - suddenly passed by..
Wow.
After clenching my fist, I answered seriously..
“Same thing, nameless. No matter how you change, we're still friends.”
We grinned at each other..
Only Dusk Bringer, who was standing behind him, had a grumpy expression on his face and a disgruntled voice..
“……Why are you suddenly making such a fuss by declaring your friendship??”
Anyway, the conceptual story of becoming a dragon, killing a dragon, and obtaining a dragon license ended roughly like this..
Unknown waved his hand and left the security office first..
“See you again when we next subdue the Black Dragon Army, Ash. Take good care of yourself. and… … Handle Parekhian with care..”
“See you again, unknown!”
I waved my arms widely.
Unknown smiled slightly and soon disappeared as if melting into the darkness of the dungeon..
***
A search inside the Public Safety Office was completed along with the heroes who were treated for their injuries..
As expected, it was a place used as a rare place for dragons, so it was full of various gold and silver treasures. There was no need to leave Parekhian in the yard where I captured it, so I swept it up..
“Now that Parekhian is on our side, all we have to do is move the property along with him.~”
As I spoke calmly and filled the bag with magic cores and magic stones, all my subordinates seemed to hate me for that... … No, he was looking at me with eyes full of respect. What the heck, you bastards.
With that, we completely swept the interior of the Public Safety Office, and today's schedule is over. Returned to Crossroads.
“majesty!”
“You arrived safely.!”
The backyard of the manor house. The people waiting in front of the teleport gate welcomed us with joy..
Evening has passed and it is almost night. Even though it took quite a while, it seems like everyone was worried about us and waited..
Well, it was a battle where anyone could die even if it went a little wrong..
“I'm glad everyone came back safely..”
The members who went on an expedition today lined up in front of me. I spoke briefly and dismissed him..
“Eat well, sleep well, and rest well. We will convene again in a few days..”
“yes-!”
“Thank you for your effort!”
“Hey, I'm off work.!”
The gathered heroes dispersed in groups of three and five..
I ordered those who were going to eat to stay behind, and quite a few heroes entered the manor house, shouting with joy..
I just finished cleaning up and was about to go in for a late dinner..
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…….
Suddenly, the air above my head shimmered ominously.…….
Sigh.!
A lizard-like black dragon - Parekhian - tore through subspace and emerged.!
“Wow!!”
“What are you doing?!”
We were all so scared that we jumped up from our seats..
Why did this guy suddenly pop out! Was it a lie that you were captured?! Could it be that they deliberately captured us and then attacked our base??!
I had all these thoughts, but luckily it didn't seem like there were any such scary intentions..
Parekhian got down to the ground with a smooth movement, cleansing away the evil energy that is unique to monsters... … He carefully moved his head, searching for something..
《……!》
Eventually, Parekhian sensed something and ran towards it. No, it looks like a really big lizard..
Where Parekhian is headed... … This was the direction where Violet, who had turned white as she looked at me, was there..
Violet, who had joined the waiting members of the gambling club, was on her way to the bar telling stories about her adventures today, but she looked like she was going to faint when this huge black dragon-lizard came running straight towards her..
“Me, me, me, jeonghaaaaa?! How can I do this, this, this?…….”
But I didn't have time to do anything.
Parekhian gently stretched out his tail, wrapped it around Violet's body, and snatched it up... … placed on his own body.
Then he lightly bounced his body up and down as if he was demanding something..
Violet, who was dumbfounded and making noises in confusion, eventually seemed to realize something and placed both hands on Parekhian's head..
“Uh, um… … Again, ‘show me’?”
Wow!-
Violet's light purple magical power formed on her fingertips and burrowed into Parekhian's head..
Just like when you subdued this dragon earlier, it appears to show the surrounding scenery..
《…….》
Parekhian slowly lowered his body and sat down on the floor, then quietly raised his head and looked around..
The appearance of a manor house with brightly lit lights everywhere. People who are nervous around themselves. and-
night sky.
《…….》
The red energy that was vibrating inside Parekhian's chest, making a 'kiiing-' sound, turned into light blue and slowly spread inside the dragon's body..
In any case, I was planning to use the ‘right of absolute command’ to subdue Parekhian, but I stopped shakily..
Parekhian, who had now completely settled down on the floor of the backyard, quietly looked up at the night sky. And she gazed intently at the Milky Way spread out there..
After looking at this strange and funny scene, I patted the shoulders of the remaining heroes and entered the manor house..
“……I think it's okay. Let's eat.”
“What is okay?! Just a moment, Your Majesty! What about me?!”
Violet put her hand on Parekhian's head and screamed while riding on his back..
Everyone casts pitiful eyes at Violet... … I went into the mansion to eat. I smiled at Violet, who was in tears..
“Please take good care of him in the future, Violet..”
“What on earth do you mean?!”
I closed the door behind Violet, who let out a miserable sigh..
I have someone under my command who can play the role of a dragon trainer, and I have a lot of luck.…….
