Chapter 466: Dragon.
In the past, it was a creature only mentioned in legends. Since the Blood Demon War that took place centuries ago, the meaning of the name has somewhat changed. Back then, all types of white monsters were collectively called dragons. This is based on historical records. Of course, the Muryong that Shin Noya caught, and even the hundred-level monster that Tang Jaemoon captured, were called dragons due to their appearance.
However, what this guy’s saying now is…
“… If I do something like shedding my shell, does that mean I’ll turn into a dragon?”
[It is a noble thing. It is also a noble thing.]
To my question, he answers without hiding his heavy breathing.
[They say that even the smallest thing can become the seed of God. I cannot thank them enough.]
“What are you talking about, you crazy bastard?”
[One, you, who have accumulated so much energy and placed it in a vessel, yet still wanted to remain human, are not worthy of it.]
“I just wanted to live like this. If I don’t do it, I’ll fall behind. Who are you kidding?”
I know you want to become someone who doesn’t even know what you are. I just wanted to live as a human. The problem is that this fucking world won’t let me do that.
“I don’t want to do it either.”
[Then give it to me.]
“I hate that even more, you little punk.”
Seriously, who do you think you’re playing with right now?
“If you keep nagging me, take it from me. Don’t just ask for it.”
[…]
As I began to speak sarcastically, a thumping sound was heard from his body.
[You mean thing. You don’t know your place. Do you really think that the human mind can handle this?]
“Can you bear it?”
[It’s a natural question. I am the seed of the Dragon Emperor. I am different from you.]
[So.]
Kuuuu-!
[Just be quiet and surrender!]
The blood that had filled my body with strength rushed towards me once again.
Kuuung-!
I poured all my energy into it and twisted my body to avoid it.
Woof-!
However, this time I was unable to completely dodge it and once again one of my arms was bitten by the thing.
It just so happens to be the same arm that was bitten earlier.
The fangs dug in and chewed the arm into tiny pieces.
“Ugh…”
I’m crying out in pain, but it’s okay.
‘It went in well.’
I bit my lip slightly as I looked at my bitten arm. Barely succeeded.
Since it was better to let my relatively damaged arm hurt, I tried using a little force. Luckily, it worked out well.
The pain was so excruciating that it was mind-boggling, but compared to the actual pain inflicted by the Toua Pacheonmu, it was nothing more than a joke.
In a situation where my arm was grabbed, the moment the bastard tried to move again…
Woohoo-!
I immediately activated the Magic Heavenly Absorption skill as I noticed the guy’s movements.
[…Crunch!?]
When he felt something strange in the arm that was bitten in my mouth, the guy flinched and tried to throw me again.
Feeling that, I increased my strength more quickly.
Phew!
Energy enters the body.
‘As expected.’
Fortunately, it was as I guessed.
There was one part that I grasped while brushing my fingertips earlier.
‘This guy can absorb it.’
I don’t know if it’s because he’s a blood type, but when he touches my flesh, the Magic Heavenly Absorption is activated.
I don’t know how it’s possible to absorb the energy inside my body again.
What’s important now is.
[This… guy…!!]
The point was that this situation wasn’t a very good one for him.
As he gradually tries to suck out the energy, his struggles become more intense.
Kwak.
I held on with all my might so that I wouldn’t fall, even amidst the chaos.
It was possible because the absorbed energy began to circulate throughout my body.
[Let go! Do you think your wishes will come true just because of this?]
Could it be because the energy is gradually being taken away from me?
Impatience seeps into his voice.
[You won’t be able to endure it in the end. You’ll lose your mind and die without being able to withstand anything!]
The bastard’s arms dig in to tear me away.
I didn’t avoid it. I held on even though my body was pierced by the nails.
Phew!
The energy keeps coming into my body.
It is much higher than the amount of blood I originally had.
I wondered what the difference would be, but I didn’t have time to think about it.
Because I was in a situation where it was hard to just handle the energy that was rushing in.
‘There are so many of them.’
It feels like it’s exceeding the original capacity and entering my whole body.
Is it okay to consume like this?
But such worries were creeping in my mind.
‘What if it doesn’t work?’
That doesn’t mean there’s no other way.
It’s visible to the eye.
The more energy I absorb, the smaller his body becomes.
I never thought about what effect this much energy would have on my body.
Because right now, my goal was to just consume this fucking thing.
[Let go… Let go… I am… the great…!]
“Be quiet. How dare a brat who doesn’t even pay rent crawl up here?”
You came in without permission and now you’re trying to covet my body?
No way. The smaller he becomes, the more energy I have in my body.
It was just a moment, but now the situation had changed to the point where it didn’t matter if he caused a ruckus.
Even in this situation, I don’t stop and keep sucking it in.
[Crunch…!]
He finally let out a short slurp and disappeared into my body without a trace.
“…”
Immediately afterwards, the space suddenly became quiet.
“…after…”
I sighed quietly, sweeping my body away.
Is it okay?
I nod my head slightly, feeling the energy flowing through my body.
“It seems like it’s not as bad as I expected?”
I thought it would be incredibly difficult since Shin Noya warned me so much.
For something like that, it feels pretty good.
It’s a problem that my body is a mess, but since it’s a fantasy space anyway, it’ll be okay when I return to reality.
“What about the energy…?”
It was a sensation of fullness that filled my whole body, as if I was about to vomit at any moment.
Even this was bearable.
“So, is it over now…?”
It was somewhat disappointing, considering how much they had said about the molting and such.
I don’t feel like there’s much of a change.
‘The bowl didn’t even come back or anything…’
The emptiness still lingered within me.
‘How do I get out?’
Just when I was wondering how to get out of here…
yes.
I felt the vibration again.
“hmm?”
My gaze shifted downward.
The location was where my heart was.
I definitely felt the vibration there.
“What….”
Just now, I was wondering what on earth I was feeling, so I took a quick look around.
Suddenly…
Crack-.
I heard the sound of something breaking, and then…
Kwaaaaaaaaaaah-!
“Ugh…!?”
Severe pain surged around my heart.
I curled up, my body aching, and let out a sob.
Woohoo-! Suddenly, something strange happened in the surrounding water.
The current began to engulf my body.
Kuuuuu.
The current that enveloped my body soon began to penetrate deep inside me.
It was felt distinctly, apart from the pain in my heart.
This is energy.
As the water around me seeped into my body, it transformed into energy and began to torment me.
I felt regret as I realized this.
Yeah, I thought it was kind of easy.
As expected, you’re feeding me shit.
The blood inside my body had already been consumed and was at its limit.
Barely enough to keep me sane, and now more energy is flowing in?
‘Heh heh, what the fuck….’
It felt like my body was being tested to see when it would explode.
Knock knock.
I bit down hard.
My body trembles with the sensation of energy rushing in.
I knew that even Shin Noya, with the blood that wore the dragon’s skin, would regret it, and I wouldn’t be able to endure it.
It was absolutely not a situation that a human could survive.
My instincts tell me.
If I want to let go even a little bit in this situation…
‘Die.’
My insides will burst, and I will die.
If that happens…
‘Is that bloodsucker going to take over my body?’
If that’s not the case, maybe another one will show up.
Whatever it is, I could tell that something other than me was filling my body.
‘I can’t let that happen.’
Bam-!
I heard the sound of my clenched teeth breaking.
I clenched my fists.
Even if it’s unbearable, I endure.
If you were going to give up, you should have done it sooner.
I’ve come this far, so it’d be a shame to just let go.
‘Hold on somehow.’
As for the matter of the party, Shin Noya. I’ll make fun of that old man and outsmart him.
Is it because of that pathetic goal?
I could barely hold onto the spirit I was about to lose.
yes…
“…”
A shallow sensation felt within my body.
At this, Shincheol’s eyelids, which had been quietly closed, lifted.
“hmm….”
It looks like something happened.
I keep feeling a strong vibration inside my body.
Yeah! Yeah!
It was a small vibration to hear, but to Shincheol, it felt like he was being hit hard from the inside with a blunt object.
Should I say that I’m breaking down walls to get out?
This is a feeling that even Shincheol is experiencing for the first time.
I look straight ahead, feeling that vibration.
There was nothing visible in front.
It was the place where the Heavenly Lord should have been, but he was nowhere to be seen.
“…joy.”
Shincheol, who saw that, let out a short breath.
Even with my eyes closed, I knew that the Heavenly Being was moving.
Shincheol didn’t bother to stop him.
He is already a dead person, unmanned.
There was nothing more to do or say.
Even if the person must die.
It wasn’t his job to finish it.
Shincheol lowers his gaze and checks his hand.
To be exact, it was Guyangcheon’s hand.
The body is still dyed black, as if it has been consumed by shadows.
“Ew, tsk tsk.”
Because of this damned guy, I feel like my back, which was straight for my age, is bending over on its own, wondering what kind of suffering I’m going through even after I die.
Even if it wasn’t something he could do to the descendants of the volcano, it was something that made Shincheol furious to endure this from that nasty locust.
“And you’re even teasing me?”
At the end, what Guyangcheon said comes to mind.
– I think we have something to discuss with Mrs. Tang Je-moon.
“Hmm.”
Thinking about it makes me angry, but it also raises questions.
No matter how much Shincheol thought about it, he couldn’t understand what was said at that time.
“…hmm.”
Shincheol was still inside Guyangcheon’s body, but he couldn’t keep an eye on the situation because he was trying to stop the vessel from breaking.
I know that you met with Tang Jaemoon, but I don’t know what they talked about.
So the question was.
‘What on earth were they talking about?’
Is that rotten bastard calling Jaemoon a madam?
Shincheol had to keep tilting his head at the unknown situation.
That makes sense.
Because the person Shincheol knew was a man, not a woman.
