Chapter 119 – Dragon Heart (2)
How how I soothed Iris, who couldn’t take her eyes off my crotch. Calia’s eyes seemed to be looking at me pitifully.
“If I can’t decide, I’ll just decide on my own…” .」
She said in a weak voice as if the old dragon was tired. Iris, otherwise not greedy for riches, nodded her head.
“Okay. And you…」
Dizzy eyes stared at me. As if everyone knows what I want.
「I wonder if it would be more suitable for a hero than you… A promise is a promise, so don’t give it away.”
Anyway, Iris, the hero, was with me. Calia didn’t seem to worry too much because she knew that.
“Let’s start right now.”
“… Right now?”
I asked back at the old dragon’s declaration.
Since what I was supposed to receive was none other than a dragon heart, I was willing to wait until he returned to nature. Calia and I both knew that day was not far off.
“What’s the point of forcing yourself to live for a few more days?”
Perhaps it was funny that I was flustered, the old dragon’s voice had a hint of laughter. No matter how much it is, there are efforts that have been made so far for a quiet and comfortable end.
For a dragon, the final moment of quietly returning to nature is the ‘last thing to take for granted’ that all individuals instinctively pursue. Because it’s obvious, I spare no effort for that moment.
Doing nothing, slowly contemplating the changes in the world as a natural object, and finally returning to being a part of nature.
Wasn’t Calia also asking us for that?
Said the old dragon. As if you understand all my questions.
「Jeong-jun, I already knew that you are not a body that can be procrastinated.」
“To make you waste your time for the old man’s personal stubbornness and greed, he has too much to carry on his shoulders.”
I realized he recognized the time limit placed on my body.
I didn’t have enough time. Still, I thought it would be okay if I adjusted it tight.
Calia seemed to be considerate of me.
His body was enveloped in a dim light.
Tuk, tuk, the scales of the dragon fell. It was said that each of the scales was very large, perhaps because it was so huge.
“I should have told you in advance.”
A few scales changed their shape. It was shaped like a uniform made of luxurious fabrics to fit Iris’s body. Perhaps using the scales of a white dragon, it became a pure white uniform that matched Iris’s hair color, covering her body.
“This…”
A one-of-a-kind treasure created by an elder dragon with its own scales.
Even if you search the imperial treasury, there will be nothing better than this.
Iris, who looked down at the uniform that clung to her body with her eyes wide open, bowed her waist.
“… Thank you.”
Calia did not answer. Except for the scales she gave for her, most of her mana was already returning to nature.
A dragon is a huge mass of magical energy.
That’s why, like the true ancestors, beings that can be classified as the highest level of spirits.
The magic power that formed the old dragon’s body was slowly returning to nature.
A gem the size of a fist that barely catches the eye.
The enormous magic power contained within it.
That was Dragon Heart.
The eyes of the old dragon stared at me. His body was mostly transparent. Somehow, on the contrary, it seemed that my insides were transparent to him.
Swoop.
The dragon heart flew and came into my hand. It changed into magical power once again and settled in my body.
Enormous magical power wraps around my body.
“You guys. The world. Can be saved I hope.”
A crackling voice.
Those were the last words left by the old dragon who had lived for over 10,000 years.
Dig… A soft glow, not too dazzling, illuminated his body and slowly began to dissipate into nature.
“… Brother.”
Iris called me quietly. When I look at her instead of her answer, Iris said with a faint smile.
“We must succeed.”
Okay.
OK.
*
Although I had obtained a dragon heart and gained enormous magical power, it did not completely belong to me. My body was in an incomplete state, and even my memory was in an incomplete state.
Still, Dragon Heart’s enormous magical power was of great help to me.
Just like when I drank ‘First’, which restored my permanently damaged strength, my potential seemed to be unlocked.
There, the magic power increased greatly.
There was also a “Core (S+)” In the characteristics. It is S+ rank because it has not yet fully accepted Dragon Heart, but if it is digested properly, it is planned to be promoted to SS rank.
After recovering her memories and being promoted from “Arch Mage” To “Grand Mage”, She might gain the lost specs or even more power.
In order to do that, there were a lot of things that had to be done first.
A few more.
“Please take good care of me in the future… !”
Kona signed a contract with her older sister.
“It hurts to leave the nest with Calia-sama, but… , Calia-sama also asked me to see a wider world!”
Kona, who was smiling brightly but holding back tears, held her hand tightly. While I wasn’t paying attention, it seemed like we’d become quite close.
「Oooh…」
For some reason, I was concerned about Obsidian’s mournful cry, which seemed to be pushed to the bottom of my sister’s affection list.
Well, I’m sure he’ll take care of it as he’s a big boss. Kona seems to be feeling quite lonely right now, so she’ll be taking care of her, so noona will treat her fairly in the future.
“Please take care of me, Kona. My name is Iris.”
“And! I wish you well! Come to think of it, this is our first greeting!”
Iris and Kona also greeted each other warmly. Both of them have good personalities, so I thought they would get along well.
“Is everyone ready?”
During those few days, Iris was showing the appearance of a master who had been completed by escaping from the beginning of her master.
It became easier than before to open the ‘territory of the sword’, which used to consume a lot of physical strength, and it seemed that he had become accustomed to using the fifth sword in that state.
Not only the baby dragon, but also a few adult dragons, and his skills improved dramatically.
At the current level, Iris would probably have the upper hand even if she fought Letty, or if Letty was in a stagnant state.
Needless to say, my sister signed a contract with Kona, which is close to the highest level. Among dozens of small and medium spirits contracted after entering the mountain range, getting one Kona was the best achievement.
Especially since she has the best compatibility with Obsidian, the highest level spirit she contracted for the first time, the synergy would be even better.
There I got the dragon heart.
The condition of the party was close to the best.
“Let’s go.”
After finishing all preparations, we left Calia’s realm.
“Wow! It’s my first time going out here!”
She seemed very excited to come out to the world for the first time. She looked just like Iris, who was excited about the word first trip.
“Doesn’t it look a bit like you?”
“Yes? What?”
So I sneaked over to Iris and started talking. Iris smiled happily at her excited-looking nose, then twisted her head as if puzzled by my words.
“I look like you.”
“… What. … What are you talking about?”
Iris glares at me.
“You look like a kid, excited.”
“I didn’t.”
“It was.”
“Isn’t it?”
Why don’t you admit you didn’t do this? Seeing that, even though he knew that even his ears were red, he seemed to be crying out of embarrassment.
“Okay. Let’s pretend it wasn’t.”
“I really didn’t.”
“I know. Unlike Kona, Iris is supposed to be mature.”
“Oh no really!”
As we were bickering with Iris, Kona approached us.
“Everyone! Look at this!”
Kona held out a flower to us. It was a flower of a herb commonly seen in the Fire Dragon’s territory, known to contain flames.
Since she had lived her whole life only in the realm of white dragons, she must be an unfamiliar and unfamiliar flower.
So she can’t help but look cute in her innocent image of wanting to show us something that’s strange to her. Iris smiled happily and patted her Kona’s head.
“Pretty.”
“Yes? It’s not pretty!”
“… Yes?”
Iris asked in a blank voice for a moment. Kona replied triumphantly.
「It’s a bit strange, but the snow plants in Calia-sama’s estate are much, much prettier, aren’t they? I’ll show you next time I get a chance!”
“… Oh, yes, yes. Yes. I look forward to it.”
Iris nodded her head. Her answer was unexpected, so she seemed a little dumbfounded. I stroked Iris’ hair.
“Yes.”
He stroked the hair of Iris who was stroking Kona. Kona flew back towards Porre-nuna. She seemed to be more comfortable around her sister because she was her self and her contractor was her sister.
“Right. Good job.”
“Did I do well?”
I heard my sister whispering to Kona. I didn’t seem to hear Iris, but she was subtle in my ears.
“Okay. In the future, you will have to block them well so that the two of them don’t play around. Understand?”
“I don’t know what it is, but I understand Luna! Because Luna is my friend!」
This.
So, I can’t be careless.
