Chapter 79: [ Homesickness…? ]

Amila has always known about Dragon Slayers – although currently they were already extinct and had disappeared from the surface of the world but from Amila’s time when she was still active, the Dragon Slayer Clan was extremely famous. Of course, before they had become a taboo existence!

Most Dragon Slayers had a Dragon Partner and even some married their partners – that is, if they had become able to turn into a human.

Only the strongest Dragon has that ability.

Dragon Slayers never treated Dragons as tools – they were family or trusted partner. But too bad, the Black Dragon King despised humans.

Thus, leading to their extinction.

She too would probably be hunted if this was known by the Black Dragon King – but she wasn’t afraid of it.

Dragons never scared of death. Probably for upstarts Dragons but for Amila who had live for who knows how many decades and centuries already, life was nothing to them.

The only thing that she was afraid of was being imprisoned in this place for eternity…

And in addition, Amila had a sudden premonition the moment she saw Rain for the first time.

As the last Dragon Slayer in existence… he wasn’t bound to be a simple man!

Probably in the future, he would write history by himself and defeat the Black Dragon King!

... And Amila wanted to see that!

That point where History will be rewritten!

Rain stood up and slowly walked towards the Princess and the others.

Behind him was the Snow Dragon.

Seeing that it wasn’t hostile, the crowd started to lower their guard.

“Rain, what happened…?” The princess asked in doubt.

“It’s nothing. I talked with the Snow Dragon and find out that we’re actually compatible with each other…” Rain replied with a bright smile.

“Now, we are friends…”

“Huh?” The princess widened their eyes in shock at that seemingly simple answer.

The heck did he just say?!

Is that even logical…!?

“Just what the heck happened!?”

Rain shrugs and scooted towards Zarda and the others, completely ignoring her.

‘V’ Rain flashed a V-sign at Lafetti when he saw her and the group looking at him dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Zarda can’t help but shook her head in helplessness. A wry smile suffused her lip.

What an incredible guy…

A proud looked appeared on her face and along with Alba who seemed to be observing the Snow Dragon from head to toe, anyone can see the pride leaking in her eyes.

“And so, what now,” Princess sighed and since she couldn’t digest what had happened until now, she sent a questioning look at Rain.

Rain shrugs, “Snow Dragon said that you can go and take the artifacts inside here though as for the Excalibur --although she wasn’t sure but it should be at the deepest part of this ruins…”

“Really!!?” Hearing the holy sword’s location, Princess Leticia’s excitement surged up! Although the artifacts in this hall seem to be good but what she came here was, after all, the legendary holy sword Excalibur!

For it to be here, really! Although she had expected this – No, she had hoped but there was still, after all, no proof.

But now that the Holy sword existence was really confirmed, Princess Leticia turned even more excited!

Just one more step!

One more step and she will be able to acquire the holy sword!!

However, what Rain said instant poured cold water on her excitement.

“From what Amila had said, behind this room, a shadow Dragon was waiting.”

“Another Dragon!!?” The group was startled.

Their attention then turned towards Amila who was looking at them indifferently.

“Are you sure?!”

“Un.” Rain nodded in response.

The princess bit her lips in frustration and looked back at her subordinates. Fighting a dragon in this state was certainly a suicide.

But the Holy Sword is just the right behind them!

Should they go back first and gathered another fighting group…?

Still, that method was time-consuming since it was a long road until here!

Princess Leticia then raised her head and looked at the Snow Dragon.

“Rain, can this Dragon help us…?”

If there’s another Dragon by their side, their chances of winning would certainly go up even with just their number.

Rain turned his head and looked at Amila.

“Where you go, I will go. I can’t have you dying now, after all…”

“In the first place, can’t we just talk with that Dragon? Maybe it’s quite reasonable… like you?” Rain suddenly thought.

But Amila shook her head. “Did you forget about the Black Dragon King?”

“Ah!” Rain smiled bitterly.

“Shadow Dragons can be said to be a close relative to Dark Dragons and their King was none other than the Black Dragon King.” Amila said with a mischievous tone.

“… Then do you still think they would care about human circumstances? And in addition, the moment he saw you, you will certainly be targeted and be killed for sure. You’re still too weak and you can’t even control your own Dragon Aura –it’s leaking you know~”

“… …”

“He would surely notice it.”

She has a point…

Still, a Shadow Dragon… huh… Rain couldn’t eat Amila or even taste her flesh – Although it was quite regrettable but after all, she was now his partner.

But Shadow Dragon’s flesh… just what’s its flavor, I wonder…? Rain’s lips turned into a bad grin.

What kind of abilities would he acquire –?

It’s decided! Let’s kill it!!

“Amila will help us…” Rain grins.

This words excited the crowd and the princess once again felt hope!

After a short moment of discussion, the group decided to stay for a moment longer and rest. Although they can go now but they wanted to be in their best condition when they fight!

According to Celis appraisal, the black cloak’s name was [ Night Fury ] – a magical item that increased the wearer’s agility and Dexterity by 40% and enables the user to use the skills; [ Shadow Step ] and [ Dark Bind ].

Double-handed Axe was called [ Raging Flame ] – A magical Axe that increased the User’s strength by 20% and can generate flames that cover the Axe Blade. It gives the user skills: [ Flame Storm ] and [ Flame Burst ].

And lastly the Magical Bow; [ Sarafi’s Elegant Bow ] – A magical Bow once owned by a famous Elf Warrior; Sarafi. It generates arrows that contain the power of nature. It has skills; [ Hawkeye ] and [ Rapid Shot ].

All three were high-level artifacts!

Rain took [ Night Fury ] while Drova took [ Raging Flame ]. The bow went towards the princess group. Stagna didn’t want to change her new bow.

Although there was some dissatisfaction but since Rain was the one who had truly acquired it, even the princess couldn’t say anything.

Besides, with Snow Dragon; Amila, who would dare voice out their complains!?

In the far corner of the hall, a chest was found. Inside were a couple of gems and rare ores.

Of course, this was also divided into two groups. Since it was not gold and silver and instead gems and ores, Zarda and the others obviously wanted it. They can make many things using this!

The crowd advance towards the deepest part of the ruins.

Along the way, they had found many treasures – Magical artifacts and also expensive looking masterpieces of arts.

The creator of this Dungeon – it should be Arturia… right?

However, Rain had thought of this before but he just doesn’t have any proof. Still, was the Hero Arturia – a person from Earth…?

But it doesn’t add up… This place is certainly made to look like a Dungeon from a Game. But, that Hero was from Ancient times, right…?

Earth shouldn’t have developed that far yet – in terms of Game with Dungeons… or had it?

Rain was extremely confused. What he only knows is that Arturia has a high chance of being a resident of Earth who is summoned into this world, just like him.

He had even seen a complete look-alike of the Norwegian Expressionist artist Edvard Munch’s masterpiece; The Scream, plastered along the walls of the corridor.

Even Vincent van Gogh’s Sunflowers were present.

Just why did that person put these paintings in this kind of ruins…?

What is she trying to express…?

Hobby? Style? Was it all for that…?

… Or… had she felt longing… for the home, she couldn’t return to…?

Then, does it mean that the moment you stepped into this world, you would never be able to return back to Earth…?

Rain's eyebrows furrowed.
