Chapter 161: 161

Blanc closed his eyes for a moment . He knew there would be a reaction like this .

“What’s he saying now?”

Su-hyeun lost his patience and asked Blanc to interpret . Blanc hesitated for a moment, then explained what the green dragon had said .

“A descendant of betrayers…?” Su-hyeun muttered .

He frowned and stared at the green dragon . The green dragon didn’t avoid Su-hyeun’s hard gaze and stared at him in return .

“What? Do you have a problem with me?”

Soon, the green dragon began to talk in a language that Su-hyeun could understand . As the green dragon tried to hold a conversation with him, Su-hyeun took a step forward .

“A problem? Of course, I do,” Su-hyeun said, glaring his eyes . “You’re insulting my baby . ”

At Su-hyeun’s answer, the green dragon also frowned . The word “my baby” bothered him .

“Did you really raise a descendant of the red dragons?”

“Yes . ”

“What nonsense! The red dragons once called the descendants of the Dragon King are now treated as a human cub . ”

“Ha . You’re speaking nonsense . Do you think humans are lower than dragons? Why? Because we don’t live long like you guys? Or do you think we’re too weak?” Su-hyeun looked around the city and continued to speak, “Then what should I call you guys? You guys accept such grody humans’ civilization . ”

“…Are you saying we’re less than humans now?”

The green dragon began to spread a murderous spirit from his body . The murderous spirit had highly concentrated magic, enough to choke ordinary people to death . But Su-hyeun wasn’t concerned by the magic power of the green dragon . Instead, he raised his magic to compete .

Rumble—

Flinch—

When their energy began to hit each other, the green dragon was surprised and unconsciously stepped back .

The amount and concentration of magic from Su-hyeun got the better of him . The green dragon, who thought of Su-hyeun as just another human, couldn’t believe that his magic was overpowering him .

Stomp—

Unlike the green dragon, Su-hyeun stepped forward .

As he narrowed the distance like that, Su-hyeun asked, “Why? Are you scared?”

“You bastard—!”

Whoosh—

The green dragon quickly stretched out his hand to Su-hyeun’s neck . It was a very short moment . But Su-hyeun increased the distance between the two and drew his sword out .

“Siegfri!” Blanc shouted in surprise .

But Su-hyeun had already begun to move .

Swish—

The green dragon’s eyes flashed as he saw Su-hyeun run quickly toward him .

Attacking the red dragon would cause an issue . But nobody would care if he attacked a human . No, rather, some dragons who hated humans may applaud him for his action since they didn’t like humans coming to the dragons’ land .

Whoosh—

A green flame came out of the hand of the green dragon . A fire able to burn down a whole house swallowed Su-hyeun whole . In that short moment, the green dragon beamed with joy .

But his joy didn’t last long .

Whoosh—

A dark blue flame tore through the green flame . And at that moment…

“You shouldn’t kill him!” Blanc shouted out .

The green dragon stepped back in surprise at the shout . Meanwhile, Su-hyeun reached his hand out .

Snatch—

“Argg!”

The green dragon, caught by the neck, could see Su-hyeun’s sword .

“You’re lucky today,” Su-hyeun said in a calm voice, holding the neck of the green dragon tighter . “I thought about killing you, but I chose to spare your life . ”

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Su-hyeun lifted his arm . Siegfri struggled, holding Su-hyeun’s wrist with both hands . But, no matter how hard poor Siegfri tried, Su-hyeun’s hand didn’t even budge .

No matter how strong Su-hyeun was, he was just a human . A human couldn’t defeat a dragon in magic . And it was impossible to overcome the strength of a giant dragon with a humans’ small body . That was what Siegfri thought and that was why he started the fight . But, in this short fight, he was overwhelmed by Su-hyeun in both magic and power .

“Da…m…n”

Su-hyeun released the green dragon’s neck .

“it…Gasp!”

The green dragon fell to the ground and gnashed his teeth . His pride was hurt . But he didn’t dare to attack Su-hyeun again . It was clear that the result of any rematch would be the same .

“Let’s stop this right now . ”

Blanc stepped between the two and ended the fight . The green dragon was relieved when Blanc stepped in . And, from that relief, he was sure about his feeling .

It was a hard thing to admit, but it was undeniable . He lost the fight, and he had almost died . If Blanc hadn’t stopped him, Su-hyeun might have cut Siegfri’s head off with that sword of his .

Blanc looked at the green dragon and said, “What is the point in fighting against a human right now? And you’ll be condemned by the dragons who were waiting for the descendants of the Dragon King . ”

“That is…”

“Just go, Siegfri . If you do something wrong, I won’t let it go anymore . ”

At Blanc’s words, the green dragon named Siegfri frowned . He stood up, turned around, and walked away .

Blanc looked at the back of Siegfri and thought,

Blanc turned and looked at Su-hyeun . He had been surprised as well when he had seen Su-hyeun for the first time . He had even wondered if Su-hyeun was really just a human being, or maybe something else . Su-hyeun had a special aura . And, thanks to Siegfri’s hot temper, Blanc was able to confirm Su-hyeun’s ability . The results were beyond his expectations .

Su-hyeun’s ability was better than any dragon that Blanc knew . He could be compared with orange dragons, which were one grade below red dragons .

Blanc thought .

Moreover, Su-hyeun had visited their world with a descendant of the Dragon King, the red dragon . A great storm came to a quiet city .

Act 4

Siegfri strode away . His head was filled with thoughts about the red dragon and the human who came with it .

Siegfri clenched his teeth . Events that had just happened were beyond his comprehension . He didn’t like humans much because they had a short life and were inferior to dragons . But that man was different . He had a power superior to the green dragon’s .

Siegfri thought the red dragon and that human would bring disaster to his world, which had finally begun to stabilize . He headed to the castle in the center of the city . He walked on a quiet path, ignoring some of the dragons he passed on the way, and stepped into the castle .

The castle had open ceilings leading to long stairs . It was a simple structure rather than a complicated and colorful one . The castle was empty . There was no sound, no sign of a living thing, not even a small ant or gnat . But Siegfri knew the dragon living here . And he was the only one who could properly solve the problem .

“I came here to see Sir Carne,” Siegfri shouted in a loud voice .

Soon, a voice came from above . “What’s going on?”

Tramp, tramp—

A sound of footsteps also came from above . A dragon with dazzling orange scales walked down the stairs .

Siegfri bowed to him and said, “It’s been a long time, Sir Carne . ”

Carne . He was the orange dragon, one level below the red dragons . He was one of the oldest dragons aside from Blanc . In fact, he was the highest elder of the clan, who ruled over the remaining dragons . That was why Siegfri came straight to him .

“It’s been a long time, Siegfri . Is this the first time since the last invasion?”

“Yes, I think so . ”

“So . What brings you to my castle? You once said this place is impious . ”

“That is…”

Siegfri told Carne about Su-hyeun and Miru, who had arrived with Blanc . Carne knit his brows together as he listened to what had happened .

“Hmm… A red dragon?”

“Not only that, sir . The human with that red dragon was very strong . Probably stronger than anyone in our clan . ”

“That’s hard to believe without seeing it with my own eyes . ”

Carne, who had lived for many years, couldn’t believe that . There were one or two humans in a generation that could threaten a purple dragon, but that was it . A human who could compete above that level was a rare thing .

It was unbelievable that a red dragon followed a human in the first place . The red dragon was the direct descent of the Dragon King . They were not only noble but also had power far stronger than any other dragon . Therefore, the dragons followed the red dragons as royalty, and sometimes treated them as sacred .

“Did you say that the red dragon is still young?” Carne asked .

“Yes, it looked like it’s just a few months old . ”

“No . The Dragon King’s lineage grows slower than any other dragons . They grow slowly but steadily and continuously . ”

“Continuously?”

“That’s right . I guess you never saw them before . ”

Dragons born after the war didn’t know much about the red dragons, about who they were, and how much power they had . They had power beyond belief .

“The red dragons are such a being . But even with that power, they still abandoned us,” said Carne .

“…Then, what would you like to do?”

When Siegfri pressed for an answer, Carne nodded his head . “I wish I could get rid of them right away . That red dragon is the lineage of the betrayer . ”

“Then, let’s go right now—”

“But, if we do, the clan will split . There are still quite a few dragons who follow the red dragons like a symbol and faith . ”

At Carne’s rational answer, Siegfri bit his lip tightly . What he said was true . That was why Siegfri couldn’t gather other dragons right away and kick Su-hyeun and the red dragon out of the city .

“Blanc is one of them,” Carne said .

“Yes, I know . Elder . Blanc has been waiting for the descendants of the Dragon King longer than anyone else . ”

“I’ll figure something out . ” Carne shook his hand and told Siegfri to leave .

Siegfri felt uncomfortable since he couldn’t get a clear answer, but soon he bowed to Carne and left the castle .

“A descendant of the Dragon King…” Carne muttered .

The castle became empty again after Siegfri had left . Carne snapped his fingers .

Snap—

Rumble—

A huge eye appeared in the air in front of Carne . It was an eye with a red pupil and a scarlet eyeball . Carne opened his mouth to talk to the eye .

“The king’s lineage is back . ”
