Cale got on top of Eruhaben’s teleportation magic circle but could not hide the concerned look on his face.
“Do you have no plans to move away?”
“…….”
The round green eyes stared at him. The white snake had wrapped herself around Cale’s neck and showed no signs of leaving him.
“You don’t need to go back to your mom?”
“…I don’t want to go.”
The baby white snake rubbed her face on Cale's cheek again.
Cale saw Raon, who was huffing with his front paws clenched.
‘Haa.’
Cale clenched his eyes shut as he wanted to sigh.
He needed to save this destroyed world, Aipotu. But what was he doing in between a seven year old Dragon and an even younger baby snake?
“I thought your mom is ill. Shouldn’t you be at her side?”
The white snaked flinched at Cale's comnt.
She then weakly mumbled.
“It hurts to see her in pain.”
Raon flinched at that mont.
His roaming dark blue eyes stared at the white snake. He then lifted his shoulders and puffed up his chubby belly toward Cale.
“Human! Let’s just go together! Didn’t you say you plan on eting that white snake’s mom later anyway? They can be reunited then!”
The white snake cautiously turned her gaze toward Raon.
Her action was slow and hesitant as if she was still scared, but… She slowly opened her mouth while looking at Raon.
“…A good Dragon……?”
Raon shook his head.
“I am a cool Dragon! I am an extrely great and mighty Dragon!”
“…Cool Dragon?”
“Yeah!”
“…Great and mighty Dragon?”
“Yes, an extrely great and mighty Dragon!”
Cale listened to the snake and Dragon's conversation in disbelief before motioning toward the chuckling Eruhaben.
“Just teleport us, Eruhaben-nim.”
“Yes, yes.”
King Dennis bit down on his lips as he watched.
‘Is it okay for them to be so calm when Kendall has already arrived?”
Aipotu's ten living Dragons… No, gods…
Although he had the last seat of the ten, Kendall was still very strong.
Cale’s group should know this as well, but they were extrely calm.
Paaaat-!
The teleportation magic circle soon activated and Cale, Raon, and the small White Snake had left.
As the Haru Kingdom's people, who looked scared because of the Dragon Fear that Eruhaben had gently raised up, stopped cowering their bodies…
Knock knock knock.
There were so knocks on the door before they heard the Knight Captain's voice.
“Your Majesty, Duke Tolz is requesting an audience.”
Eruhaben looked toward Dennis. Dennis's eyes that beca sharp for a mont soon cald down once he saw the ancient Dragon.
“He is the Kingdom’s greatest mage, Dragon-nim.”
Duke Tolz was the strongest of the three publicly known mages of the Haru Kingdom.
“He is also the leader of the opposing faction, the Empire faction.”
King Dennis's thought about the Haru Kingdom's greatest obstacle…
The leader of the Empire faction, who grew his power by leaning on the Holy Empire and not the Haru Kingdom, was soone who was famous for worshiping the Haru Kingdom.
“He seems to have noticed sothing to co right now.”
An odd smile appeared on Eruhaben's face after hearing the King's explanation.
“Nothing is ever easy.”
Eruhaben was left here alone now that Cale and Raon had left. However, there was still a smile on his face despite the words coming out of his mouth.
“My responsibilities have grown since been rejuvenated.”
Eruhaben thought that he would be busy for a while until Cale took care of Rasheel's ss. He then addressed King Dennis.
“I am your knight starting today.”
This rejuvenated Dragon who was over 1,000 years old was planning on pretending to be a sword master for the first ti in a long while.
Paaaat-!
As for Cale, he returned to the Black Castle with Raon and the baby White snake.
“Cale.”
“Mila-nim.”
Mila greeted them.
Cale’s face stiffened once he saw her.
Mila’s face did not look good. She spoke with a stiff expression.
“I can't feel it.”
“Excuse ?”
She was looking out the window.
She was looking at the mountain with the large avalanche.
“Rasheel's existence, I can't feel his mana.”
Mila had waited because Cale had said that he was coming back.
Lord Sheritt seed to have already started protecting the Black Castle.
Mila spoke without the tiniest of smiles on her face.
“I think sothing must have happened.”
She quietly added on.
"Sothing bad.”
* * *
“Ah. That’s right.”
The silver-haired Dragon, Kendall, started smiling.
“The reason we sent the subjugation squad was because of Wolves.”
Step.
He stepped forward. He was stepping on snow but there were no footprints left on it.
“…….”
Rasheel was breathing heavily as he slowly got up. The white snow that got on him when he slamd into the ground fell off.
“Hoohoo.”
Kendall could not hold back his laugh as he watched Rasheel.
“Oh, you were protecting that Wolf tribe? Why do you look so solemn now?”
‘Fuck.’
Rasheel wanted to get angry at Kendall but he could not do that.
The Beasts were getting closer.
Both Rasheel and this annoying Dragon, Kendall, knew about it, but they both feigned ignorance.
Kendall was simply finding this situation to be entertaining and curious about what would happen.
As for Rasheel-
‘Fuck! Why are they coming here?! It should be clear even from a distance that this is the middle of the battlefield!’
He could not easily move.
Honestly speaking, he didn't care whether Beast people of Aipotu died or not. To be even more blunt, he wasn't even interested in whether this world would be destroyed.
However, however-
‘I don’t want to show them!’
He couldn't accept the young Wolf who is part of Cale's group or that old Tiger to see him looking so terrible.
“…So annoying! It’s so annoying!”
Kendall's shoulders bobbed up and down as if he was even more amused.
“You must be quite young despite your appearance.”
Kendall was laughing at Rasheel for being unable to hide his emotions.
He had been annoyed for a long ti as the ten gods treated him as the youngest, so seeing a Dragon who was acting even younger than he does was entertaining.
“Hmm.”
That was why he made up his mind.
“You, I'm going to have to take you as my subordinate.”
“…What? You think I'll be your subordinate? Are you fucking crazy?”
Rasheel, who was catching his breath and looking around, was angry.
His body was already moving before he could even rationally figure things out.
Rasheel instantly arrived in front of Kendall and his fist aid for Kendall’s face.
Baaaaaaaaaang-!
However, a shield appeared and Rasheel's fist as stopped in front of Kendall.
“Hoohoo.”
Kendall laughed.
Originally, he was planning on getting rid of any and all existences that annoyed him.
The Beast people of the Erghe Mountain Range and those bastards of the Haru Kingdom…
However, he was feeling good now and it looked as if he could play with this Dragon for a while.
Normally, he would never say such a thing about another Dragon.
“Unless you drink the Holy Water… You will never be able to defeat .”
Rasheel clenched his fists.
He opened his mouth to speak.
“…Holy Water- what is that?”
Rasheel didn't know what Holy Water was.
However, he had figured out why he was unable to defeat Kendall.
‘The mana is not listening to .’
Even for soone like Rasheel who liked to fight with his physical body, mana was like air to Dragons.
However, that mana was not listening to Rasheel even when he was using Dragon Fear.
‘As for this shitty Dragon bastard, mana is listening to him too well.’
No.
It was not just mana.
‘Nothing here is on my side.’
This area on top of the mountain where he was fighting against Kendall…
None of the things that existed here were on Rasheel's side.
To be more specific, most of the things that should be neutral in this world were on Kendall's side.
‘Should I be relieved that at least the air is not on his side?’
Mana, aura, wind, even the snow…
Everything was turning a blind eye to Rasheel.
‘I'm sure that Holy Water thing is the reason for all of this.’
That was why he wanted to figure out the identity of this Holy Water.
Rasheel looked at Kendall with a serious expression on his face. Kendall was entertained as he watched that gaze.
Victory.
Ever since that attribute was awakened, he realized that this attribute accurately reflected his own personality.
He loved seeing the faces of his enemies as they were facing defeat.
The way they looked at him with a gaze full of despair or with the smallest bit of hope…
When he crushed such an opponent-
“You are curious about the Holy Water?”
It made him feel alive.
“What should I do? Oh, I'll tell you about it if you beco my toy.”
He chuckled.
Despite them both being Dragons, the Dragon Lord and the Seven Dragon gods were at a different level.
Yes, I'm a god. It should be fine for to have a Dragon as my play thing.’
He could not toy with the Dragons who had taken the Holy Water like this.
The Dragon Lord would not permit him to do so.
‘He’ll say sothing about how I need to respect them because they are brethren who have shared the Holy Water, the foundation of the world, with us.’
That was the reason a young Dragon like Kendall had to treat the older Dragons with respect despite being a god.
That annoyed him so much.
However, if it is a Dragon that has not consud Holy Water…
‘I don’t know where he ca from, but it should be fine for to have him, right?’
A Dragon having another Dragon serve him… Wasn’t that perfect for a god?
Kendall's body was getting heated.
He was feeling victory for the first ti in a long ti. His life had been so boring. He truly loved these kinds of battles, battles where his victory was guaranteed.
“Alright, I'm sure it will teach you so things if I beat you up a bit.”
Kendall extended his hand.
Baaaaaang-
A large strand of mana shot out from his hand to create a whip.
The Beast people did not get any closer.
They must have gotten scared or sothing. However, Kendall felt that it was ridiculous that they were not running away.
It didn’t matter as he would play around with this Dragon in front of him for a bit before ripping the Beast people into shreds with his whip.
He looked at Rasheel and made a comnt.
“Are you lonely?
There is nobody on your side right now.”
He then flicked his whip.
Baaaaaang-
The whip sounded vicious as it ripped through the air.
His movents were so quick that the whip instantly struck Rasheel's body.
Rasheel was still in his human form.
The whip turned as large as Rasheel's body as it struck him.
Baaaaaaaaaang—!
There was a loud explosion.
The whip had not just struck Rasheel.
It had struck the mountain behind him as well, leaving a large dent toward the top of the mountain.
Shshshshshaaaaa———
The aftershock created an avalanche, sending yet another loud noise throughout the Erghe Mountain Range.
“…….”
However, the smile disappeared from Kendall's face.
He looked down at his hand.
His veins were visible on the hand holding the whip.
He needed to keep putting more strength into his hand.
In the place covered by the snow from the avalanche and the debris from the broken pieces of the mountain…
Kendall looked toward where Rasheel should be on the ground.
His face slowly stiffened.
“…….”
The other side of the whip he was holding…
He could feel soone pulling from there.
The snow that shot up settled down as the debris and dust fell to the ground.
Kendall could now see in front of him.
“He, hehe-”
Rasheel was laughing.
Drip, drip. His forehead must have been cut by the whip as he was bleeding.
His body was still slamd into the destroyed part of the mountain.
However, he did not let go of the whip.
“Ke, keke.”
And he was laughing.
It could not be helped.
‘Are you lonely?.’
Kendall's question was so funny.
This shitty Dragon bastard was asking whether Rasheel was lonely because there was nothing here on his side.
“Cough.”
He coughed up so blood.
Other than his body, there was nothing around him to help him.
“Haha-”
It was really funny.
The ground had turned hard as he slamd into the mountain.
The stones in the area he slamd into just happened to be sharp.
He truly seed to be unlucky.
“Hey, what is your attribute?”
Rasheel asked and Kendall answered with a confused look on his face.
“Victory.”
‘Aha.
That’s the reason.’
Rasheel could understand the situation once he thought about the Holy Water and the attribute of Victory.
‘Yes, this area is set up for that bastard to win.’
It was not just the effect of that mysterious Holy Water but also that attribute.
“Cough.”
Laughing loudly made him cough up blood again.
However, Rasheel still smiled.
‘The Beast people are not getting any closer.
Then they won't see this shaful look of mine.
That’s good.’
That was one issue resolved.
The smile on Rasheel’s face beca bigger.
‘Are you lonely?’
He thought about Kendall’s question again.
“Keke.”
“… Why are you laughing?”
Rasheel laughed again after seeing Kendall's confused face.
“Pwahaha, hahaha-!”
He then suddenly stopped laughing.
Rasheel looked at Kendall with a casual expression on his face.
“Hey.”
Rasheel shared a truth he realized at a young age as he grew up as a Dragon.
“Dragons are supposed to be lonely.”
Dragons grew up lonely.
“And the world has never been on my side.”
Rasheel never thought that the world was on his side.
Dragons weren't friendly even with their fellow Dragons.
Dragons generally grew up alone.
Wouldn’t that be the world’s way of telling a young Dragon that it was not on their side?
Rasheel grew up thinking that way.
That was why he was proud of being a Dragon.
Why?
‘I'm still strong.
Loneliness?
What do I have to fear when I, the great and mighty Rasheel, is on my side?’
Rasheel had completely understood his attribute once he realized that.
Indomitability.
To not submit regardless of the situation.
That was what it ant to be a Dragon in Rasheel’s opinion.
If the mana, the ground, and even the wind was not on his side…
If he still did not submit and overca this situation…
"Ah, that’s too cool.”
Rasheel beca excited at the thought of how cool he would look.
“It’s been a while since I've wanted to fight.”
Drip drip.
He didn’t pay any attention to the blood dripping out of his mouth and licked his lips. Rasheel looked extrely excited as he did that.
It could not be helped.
To win this fight, that-
‘Doesn't that an I will have defeated the world?’
That was a fucking aweso thought for Rasheel.
“!”
Kendall's eyes opened wide as he watched.
Crunch.
The whip Rasheel was holding was starting to crack.
Rasheel's strength was creating gaps in the tightly bound mana.
And at the sa ti…
“…Sir Clopeh.”
Lock was looking at Clopeh Sekka, who was standing in front of him with a gentle look on his face.
Clopeh smiled gently as he spoke.
“Cover your presence and wait.”
“…Why?”
Lock blurted out after feeling an unexplainable sense of discomfort. Clopeh smiled brightly.
"Waiting is essential to smack a Dragon from the back.”
Rasheel had thought that Clopeh Sekka had run away and even Kendall was unable to sense him.
However, he had not run away. He was here waiting.
He was waiting to smack this enemy Dragon in the back.
Lock's jaw dropped in shock as he recalled so advice he had received.
‘Lock, Lock! You have to be careful of Clopeh Sekka! He’s 480 degrees crazy!’
It was the advice that the great and mighty Raon had given him.

480 degrees. That's SUPER crazy.
