Chapter 31
Episode 31
Dragon!
A creature that is considered the strongest being regardless of time and place.
The dragon’s majesty was the same in Fate.
In the Fate universe, dragons are known as beings that bring about the end of the world.
‘Every time it appears, it destroys a country…’
Even though X had not studied much about the world of Fate, he knew about it.
To that extent, the dragon was an enormous being.
Rattling! A red hatchling dragon sat on the shoulder of X, who was shaking his joints.
“Kyuuuu!”
Booby booby.
The guy seemed to like X and kept rubbing his face against the hard bone. X decided to calm down and think calmly.
‘First of all, there is a possibility that it is not a dragon.’
This winged lizard may not be a dragon.
Are dragons something that can be easily seen?
However, it seemed that the somehow elegant appearance could not be explained by anything other than a dragon. But isn’t this Fate?
It was similar to a dragon, but there was a possibility that it was a different creature.
“…Even if it’s not, it’s probably comparable to a dragon, right?”
The golden eyes gave strength to the guess.
Crack! X sighed, his shoulders shaking and making a sound.
“Kyuu! “Kyuuu!”
The little guy seemed to find the sound amusing, burrowing his head between X’s bones.
In any case, the fact that we had to take this guy to Liglian didn’t change.
“This guy can’t be used if he wanders around inside someone else’s body like that.”
“Kyuu?”
chin! X grabbed the guy by the back of his neck and hugged him.
Perhaps because he liked X’s touch, the boy didn’t protest even once and was quietly held in his arms.
X looked at the baby lizard – whose exact identity was still unknown, so he decided to call it a lizard – with empty eyes. Suddenly, I could feel the sleeping boy’s breath on my bones.
‘cute.’
Even as X was mesmerized by the cuteness of the baby lizard, Reaper began circling around.
X held the baby lizard in one hand and took out a sword with the other.
‘It’s not difficult to fight one-on-one, but it gets tiring when you’re cornered.’
Reaper and Ghost are strong.
Since I couldn’t use both hands and also had to protect the baby lizard, I wanted to avoid fighting as much as possible. X walked slowly, keeping a close eye on Reaper.
“what?”
But for some reason, isn’t Reaper slowly backing away?
Dudeuk! X tilted his head. Because it was a sight that had never been seen before.
‘Have you lost your spirit?’
Even though he defeated many Reapers, in the eyes of the Reapers, X was just a skeleton.
There is no reason to feel fear. X noticed a difference in himself.
“…no way.”
Baby lizard!
Could it be that this soundly sleeping guy was chasing the Reaper?
An image of a dragon flashes through my mind for a moment! The dragon’s cry, which causes all living creatures to tremble with fear, seemed to be heard overlapping this creature’s sleep.
“I need to get you there quickly, right?”
In any case, it was clear that this cute guy was something extraordinary.
Dudeuk! X ran towards the mansion, making a loud bone noise.
I never thought I would miss the eccentric Liglian.
Life’s story was truly unpredictable.
*
Squeak! Liglian, sitting in a comfortable chair, muttered.
“Hehe, it looks like he’s recognizing the new owner.”
Liglian briefly recalled the past.
The face of the Gourmet King, speaking with an absurdly confident expression, came to mind.
The words he said passed by my ears.
-Do you think you still have to wait a long time to be born? Still, let’s wait and see. The birth of a dragon is not a sight that can be easily seen.
“Are you saying that dragon eggs are something that can be easily found?”
The king of gourmets who calmly said amazing things.
-Until then, I will leave this guy in your care, Liglian. I have to leave soon… You’re the one who’s the most delicate among the big guys, right? I think you can leave it to me with peace of mind.
Once again his voice echoed through my skull.
-Let’s see this guy born together.
A word I have repeated countless times.
The Gourmet King disappeared, leaving behind only one promise.
Liglian did not realize at the time whether that meant that he had to leave sooner or later.
Even though I shuddered at the extreme sense of betrayal, I thought I had to keep my promise.
So I denied death.
“But it’s good that my body hasn’t gained weight, right?”
Just like that, 300 years passed.
300 years was quite a long time.
Unlike in the past, Liglian was now quite dull in his emotions and hatred.
Crack! Liglian laughed.
“I’m sorry, but my promise is broken. Do you think I’m crazy enough to keep a promise that’s been over 300 years old? Besides, I think that kid would be a much better owner than you. “Even though he has many shortcomings now, he may become a much better master than you.”
You came.
When Liglian muttered, he jumped up! The back door of the mansion opened.
Skeleton X hurriedly approached Ligrien.
“Master Ligrien! I found the egg. “I found it…”
“I know. “He’s such a cute guy, right?”
“…Your ears are cute, though. “More than that, what is this lizard?”
They kicked out a Reaper over level 200 while he was asleep!
No matter how much you think about it, he wasn’t an ordinary guy.
Ex stood in front of Ligrien, leaving behind the guy who was struggling to sleep and digging into his ribs.
Liglian said as if it were obvious.
“Can’t you tell by looking at the wings? “It’s a newly born dragon.”
“This is crazy.”
I thought it couldn’t be possible, but it turned out to be a real dragon.
X was shocked and speechless.
Gourmet King and Ligrian Just how strong were these guys?
How strong was he to be able to obtain a dragon egg and be so carefree with a baby dragon right in front of him?
‘It’s a scale I can’t handle at my current level!’
X was a man who knew fractions well.
We know that excessive greed causes anger, and we also know that a whale fight causes a shrimp to explode. X quickly held out a baby lizard, or rather a hatchling dragon, towards Ligrien.
“Anyway, this one was born from the egg. “I brought him safely as per Liglian’s errand.”
Tiroling!
[You have succeeded in your quest!]
Ligrien nodded.
“Of course I know. But even though it’s your first time, it looks like you’ve gotten used to that body? “It took me quite a long time to get used to this body, but I feel relieved to some extent because I think I basically have talent.”
These were warm words that did not fit Liglian’s personality.
So, for some reason, I felt even worse.
‘But I still have to get compensation.’
The quest’s reward is a gift from Ligrien!
X has been taught the incredible skill of denying death.
Therefore, even if it didn’t feel like it, I wanted to accept Liglien’s gift unconditionally.
“done. “Please leave now.”
“yes?”
“I got tired of handing you my power. I can’t stand the fatigue any longer, so I have to close my eyes. “If you’re in this state, the next time you wake up will probably be when you come back to me to receive the recipe.”
It seemed like his energy had waned because he had been taught the skill of denying death.
This was somewhat understandable given the outstanding effectiveness of death denial.
X felt like bowing.
‘But I haven’t received the quest reward yet?’
Still, I had to make sure that I did both public and private life.
X asked cautiously.
“Thank you, I won’t forget this favor, but… what about the reward for my errand?”
Dudeuk! Liglian raised his finger as if he was annoyed.
A bony finger pointed towards X’s ribs.
To be precise, it was aimed at the baby dragon next to the ribs.
“Grow up well. “It seems like he likes you too.”
…You want me to raise you well?
Perfect! X’s jaw opened wide, almost as if it would fall out. X carefully recalled what he had heard. First of all, this thing sleeping in his arms was a dragon even if it had just been born.
‘A guy with unusual energy.’
Even if it came from an inexplicable eccentric, I had no choice but to trust it.
X himself saw and felt something.
But Ligrien’s gift from the errand quest is this baby dragon!
This is truly unimaginable.
‘It’s a weight I can’t bear.’
Become the master of the dragon.
Is there anyone in Fate World history who has achieved such achievements? X was more embarrassed than happy.
I couldn’t even imagine what kind of results this hatchling dragon would bring.
Hana X is greedy.
He is a man to whom the expression ‘greedy’ could not fit better.
Crack! X let out a small laugh.
‘Get that expensive pet for free!’
Pet!
In Fate, pets were sold at extremely high prices. Of course, pets that exist in reality, such as dogs and cats, have significantly lower prices. Here, expensive pets refer to special pets that only exist in Fate.
‘Basically, it’s over 2,000 gold.’
The roles of pets were different.
Some pets provide buffs, and some pets help in battle.
I heard that a really good pet performs a versatile role and can even level up by hunting alone.
But a dragon!
The dragon’s abilities are still unknown. However, even though it was a newly born cub, it made Reaper fall off his tail just by talking in his sleep. What if this dragon becomes an adult? There was no need to say anything.
‘It would be a huge help.’
Whether it was destroying War Machine or causing a rebellion in the Kingdom of Arba, it was clear that a dragon would do a great job. Excited! I felt like my heart was pounding without X. It was said that my heart was so full.
“They say that happiness comes after hard work….”
This was something that would have shocked Fate users around the world.
X wanted to quickly make the hatchling dragon his own before Ligrien said anything else.
Did you say it was a weight you couldn’t bear?
X vowed not to let go of the hatchling dragon, even if it meant being crushed by its weight.
X carefully stroked the baby dragon’s head.
“Kyuu?”
Booby booby. The guy who woke up looked at X with bright eyes.
X asked nervously.
“Will you come with me?”
The hatchling dragon raised its voice and cried.
“Kyuuuu!”
Tiroling! A notification came to mind.
[I want the hatchling dragon to follow you!]
[Would you like to accept the hatchling dragon as a pet?]
“Of course!”
At X’s answer, the hatchling dragon’s status window appeared.
Name: None
Race: Dragon
Satiety: 10%
Level: 1
Vitality: 10000 / 10000
Mana: 5000 / 5000
Strength: 300 / Dexterity: 300
Magic: 300 / Suppression: 300
‘What are the stats of a just-born guy?!’
Even as a cub, a dragon was a dragon.
No matter how excellent a pet is, it cannot surpass the user’s level.
However, the weight class of dragons was different from that of regular pets.
‘What is the stat called suppression?’
Subdue!
It seemed like a special stat that only dragons had. Even after checking the detailed information, no special information came to mind. X calmed his startled mind and looked at the hatchling dragon. I haven’t decided on a name for him yet.
“Hmm, what would be better….”
Crack! X, who was struggling, smiled and stroked the dragon.
“Yongyong. “From now on, your name will be Yongyong, okay?”
“Kyuu? Wow!”
Since ancient times, it is best to have a name that is easy to pronounce.
How easy and affectionate a name is Yongyong?
Moreover, there was an old saying that such a name brought longevity.
Yongyong also seemed to like the new name. Seeing the two looking at each other with happy eyes, Liglian muttered softly.
“It doesn’t matter if we like each other, but…even though our name is a dragon, Yongyong is cruel.”
Liglian let out a laugh at X’s poor naming skills.
