The Dragon King stared at me, who was laughing from above. At that moment, something fell onto my face with a soft plop.
“What’s this?”
I looked and saw a silver, metallic, and smooth object that felt pleasant to the touch, like metal.
“Oh, what is this? What is happening?”
The Dragon King screamed. I could see him trembling and looking at his own arm.
“My… scales on my arm…”
Apparently, what had fallen on my face was a scale from the Dragon King. It seemed that it had been damaged when struck by the Black Sword.
“To think that a mere human could harm my body… Unforgivable… I won’t forgive you!!”
A burst of light emanated from the Dragon King’s body. Then, he transformed back into his original dragon form, now completely red. With a thunderous roar, he slowly descended to the ground, radiating a strong sense of intimidation. This was getting really dangerous.
I erected a divine barrier directed towards the Dragon King. It was a barrier with an impenetrable hardness that could withstand any dragon. I began to shrink it, attempting to compress and crush the Dragon King.
…Crack. A sound like a small balloon popping was heard. I looked and saw that the divine barrier I had erected around the Dragon King had shattered into pieces. Moreover, the fragments didn’t disappear but continued to float around the Dragon King.
“Gwaaah!”
The Dragon King swiftly turned his head in a circle, and the shattered fragments of the barrier flew towards us. Instinctively, I covered my face with my arms, but thanks to the pre-existing barrier, we remained unharmed. However, the area around us was filled with fragments that had gouged the ground.
“To break my divine barrier… He’s quite troublesome. Changing colors like that… Fine. It’s time for a physical battle. I’ll beat you to a pulp!”
I tightly gripped the Black Sword and approached the Dragon King. Witnessing this, he took a deep breath.
“H-He’s going to breathe fire!”
I concentrated all my magical power, intending to erect a barrier around us. That’s when…
“Be still.”
I heard the calm voice of a child. I turned to where the voice came from and there stood the Divine Dragon in a white robe.
“Be calm.”
He moved beside me unnoticed and gently touched my left leg. At that moment, my body froze. The dragon was already in the posture of exhaling fire, with silver light gathering around its mouth.
“Ah… Breath… Breath…”
While I gasped for air, ignoring me, the Divine Dragon calmly approached the dragon. And then, slowly pointing his index finger towards the sky.
“Be still.”
In an instant, the dragon’s movement ceased. The light around its mouth began to fade.
“G-Gua… Gowa… This presence…”
“Be calm, both of you.”
Right after hearing that voice, my body lightened, and I regained the ability to move. The dragon seemed to have experienced the same, as it slowly moved its head from side to side, observing us.
“Foolish fool. If you were to breathe fire here, this place would turn into a scorched wasteland,” said the Divine Dragon.
“No… Could it be… Divine Dragon-sama? Why…” I stammered.
“I summoned him!” Soleil exclaimed, running towards us.
“I’m sorry, Master. I accidentally summoned the Divine Dragon,” Soleil apologized.
“No, it’s alright, Soleil. But still, Divine Dragon-sama, I apologize for calling you here in this situation,” I said.
“Don’t worry about it,” the Divine Dragon spoke calmly. “It took me some time to assume this form as well. I forgive you.”
As the Divine Dragon spoke in a carefree manner, the dragon approached with heavy footsteps, placing its chin on the ground. It seemed to be assuming a prostrate position.
“Divine Dragon-sama… It is an honor to meet you,” I said respectfully.
“Oh, long time no see,” the Divine Dragon replied.
“I deeply regret my recent failure… I have no excuses,” I said.
“Hmm? What are you talking about?” the Divine Dragon asked.
“Well… One of the Shinjo escaped from me, and I left her behind…” I explained.
“That’s the first time I’ve heard of it. I only came out because my contracter summoned me,” the Divine Dragon said.
“C-Contracter?” I asked.
“Yes, I made a contract with that Sylph over there. She is my master,” the Divine Dragon explained.
“Si-Sylph is your master…?” He was taken aback.
“Yes, she’s the one who feeds me delicious things. Hey, Master, feed me that thing from before again,” the Divine Dragon said, smiling towards us.
“Yes, I will gladly do so anytime!” I replied, standing still. This dragon is an opponent that even I, no matter how hard I try, cannot defeat. It was clear.
Perhaps feeling it was impolite for the Divine Dragon to be the only one in human form, the dragon also transformed into a human. While Gon and Ferris can also transform into humans, they usually end up naked immediately after the transformation. However, these two were inexplicably wearing clothes. When I asked later, Soleil explained that they can create clothes using magic. It seems to be a skill that requires refining magic power over thousands of years. I tried it myself as an experiment, but I couldn’t do it at all.
And under the mediation of the Divine Dragon, I was able to learn why this dragon had come to retrieve the fairies at this time.
This dragon, known as the Dragon King, was already over 300,000 years old. He could directly see the form of the Divine Dragon and even hear the Divine Dragon’s words. It was his duty to convey the “divine oracle,” and the dragons known as “Shinjo” were able to hear his voice and pass on the information to the dragons residing near the locations where natural disasters were predicted to occur.
To hear the voice of the Dragon King, the skill of “Telepathy” possessed by Fairi and the others was insufficient. They required a higher-level skill called “Thought Transfer.” To acquire that skill, dragons with the talent of “Shinjo” underwent rigorous training to increase their magical power. I had experienced it myself, and it was truly arduous. Exhausting all my MP, collapsing, then using up my MP again… If I were asked to do it now, I would vehemently refuse, as it was incredibly difficult.
By the way, the skill of “Thought Transfer” could convey not only words but also vivid images. The clarity of the transmitted images depended on the amount of MP, so it was essential for the dragons known as “Shinjo” to increase their MP capacity as much as possible. No wonder Fairies like Fairi had an exceptional amount of MP for their age—it was because of that reason.
“Well, well, as long as that Shinjo is with my master’s master, there’s no need to worry,” the Divine Dragon said.
“However, Divine Dragon-sama, I believe only I can receive your words. My Thought Transfer can only be heard by the dragons within the barriers created by the dragon race. Therefore, the Shinjo with this man must be returned to the Fairy tribe,” I explained.
“Oh, in that case, there’s no need to worry. I will convey my words through the master,” the Divine Dragon replied.
“I-I’m afraid, Divine Dragon-sama. If I were to receive your words, my physical body would likely collapse…” Soleil hesitated.
“Hmm? If I convey my words in this form, there shouldn’t be a problem,” the Divine Dragon said.
“But… That’s… How audacious of me…” The dragon turned its originally pale blue scales even bluer, expressing its apologies. The fact that the Divine Dragon had taken on human form was already a mind-boggling occurrence, but upon further thought, there was also the possibility of suddenly appearing while I and Soleil were engaged in something lewd. It would be better to avoid that if possible…
“It’s fine. These individuals will feed me delicious things. It’s fine, it’s fine,” the Divine Dragon chuckled. Looking at him like this, with his white hair, he appeared childish and cute.
It should be noted that this Dragon King was aware that the fairies had escaped. However, he considered the fairies to be the weakest among the dragon races, so he held the view that dragons who couldn’t protect the fairies were not true dragons. As a result, he did not attempt to punish the Fairy Dragons or do anything in particular.
However, a few months ago, the Dragon King sensed the presence of the Divine Dragon. He was tense, waiting for some important message or oracle, but none came. He expected that the oracle would come soon, but if the Divine Dragon were to discover that the Fairy tribe’s Shinjo was missing when the time came, he would lose the Divine Dragon’s trust. So, before that happened, he desperately searched for a way to retrieve the Fairies and happened to discover me, their owner.
At first, the Dragon King had planned to attack the imperial capital’s mansion. However, he sensed the powerful barriers surrounding it, along with the presence of Ferris the Kurukan, the harpies led by Geneha, and even Belial, the Peryton. It was evident that engaging such a formidable force, even for the Dragon King, would be a struggle. Moreover, if I were to be taken away during that time, everything would be in vain.
Therefore, the Dragon King had been waiting for an opportunity to eliminate me, the one maintaining the barriers.
“What’s that? The Dragon King is surprisingly cautious for a dragon,” I remarked.
“Who do you think you’re talking to, insolent human!” The Dragon King grew angry, his scales turning red.
“And who exactly is the one talking to someone? This person is the master of my master,” The divine dragon replied.
“Kuh… Haha,” the Dragon King lowered his head to the divine dragon with a frustrated expression.
“No, don’t worry about me. But speaking of which, are Divine Dragon’s oracles really that frequent?” I asked.
The Dragon King turned his head away and spoke.
“The last oracle I received was a few years ago. The one before that… was 17 years ago,” he said.
“A few years ago… an oracle?” I questioned.
“Yes. I sensed an incredibly evil presence in the Kingdom of Juka. It was an opponent even I would have struggled against, so I forbade all dragons from leaving their territories,” the Dragon King explained.
“Indeed, the malevolence at that time was immense,” the divine dragon agreed.
The two of them reminisced about that time, and Soleil chimed in, saying, “Yes, that was quite something!” As I observed the three of them, I silently clasped my hands together in apology.
