Chapter 629 – Entrusted and Must Do

000

The two listened to the self-introduction of the nameless gargoyle with a genuinely disinterested expression.

Perhaps reading the atmosphere of the two, the gargoyle corrected his posture and looked down at Cleon and Bourbon while clearing his throat.

[I was waiting for you. Responder. The ring you have must be a dragon ring.]

“Are you aware of this?”

When Cleon asked such a question, the gargoyle snorted and thumped his own chest, then spoke with an air of pride.

[That’s right! I am the last member of Gaios-sama’s creation! Because he told me to wait for the one with the dragon ring to appear here!]

“Is that dragon ring really that important?”

When Bourbon interrupts Cleon and Gargoyle’s speech beside her, the Gargoyle speaks to her while frowning at her.

[Mixed dwarf… Originally, you shouldn’t be coming here. Even so, don’t forget that the reason I’m allowing you to exist right now is because of the sensor next to you.]

She seemed to have some resentment toward the dwarves. She showed considerable hostility, but she was not a Bourbon who could be weighed down by such a high-handed attitude.

“Ha…?! What is that! He couldn’t have come here without me?!”

Conversely, if the point of the pickaxe was pointed at the gargoyle and hit, the gargoyle would open its wings wide and threaten the bourbon.

[Could you please refrain from talking!? Because I am a great gargoyle belonging to Gaios the Earth Dragon!]

“What is Gaios? You’re not even Gaios!”

Between the two, who are in an atmosphere where they seem to be using their skills against each other any moment, Cleon clears the throat to dry each other.

“Calm down, both of you. As Bourbon said, it would have been difficult for me to find this place alone without her. So, I think she deserves to be here.”

[…Tch, if the responder talks like that, it can’t be helped.]

“Heng! I’m scared of you.”

Bourbon said that, but she smiled as she wiped the base of her nose with a gloved hand, thanks to Cleon for covering her.

“So, a nameless gargoyle. Can you tell me what kind of order Gaios received to be here? Because we are looking for Gaios.”

[Kuhm. Of course. Because that role is the mission given to me! No, and won’t you call me a nameless gargoyle? Because that hurts me so much.]

“…Then what should I call you?”

His body is made of adamantite, a hard metal, but his heart is so weak.

Is it that the body is steel and the heart is glass? This is it.

[Since I don’t have a human-like naming sense… Yeah, why don’t the responders name it? Since the responders are humans who become Gaios-sama’s companions, can’t they be considered equal to Gaios-sama?]

“… Your pet?”

When Bourbon heard the gargoyle’s words and thought that a word he couldn’t pass over said so, Cleon briskly avoided Bourbon’s gaze, pondered for a while, and then spoke.

“Good night…”

[No, that’s okay… It’s a bit like that at the point of trying to start the name Gargoyle.]

When the gargoyle, having tasted Cleon’s naming sense, raises his hand, he ponders for a moment, then puts his hand on his chest and says.

[Actually, I thought about my own name a little while waiting for the responder to come here.]

‘Did you say that from the beginning.’

‘Didn’t he say he had no naming sense?’

While Bourbon and Cleon had such things in their heads with cold expressions on their faces, Gargoyle smiled confidently and said the name he had decided on his own.

“The name of this body is the best durability!”

“Then Gargoyle, please tell me about Gaios.”

After a moment of silence, when Cleon spoke like that, the dragon with the best durability spoke with a puzzled expression.

“No, durability-“

“Okay, let’s get to the main topic.”

When even Bourbon nodded in agreement with Cleon’s prompting, the gargoyle shut her mouth for a moment, but then she nodded helplessly and started talking.

001 – The past view for durability

Yes, that was when this body was created.

It’s a story from now… A few decades ago.

I was made in the image of Gaios-sama using adamantite that he himself adjusted by endowing it with magical powers, right?

There are real life forms among dragons, but even among artificial structures like us, those that can assume the form of a dragon are rare enough to be counted on one hand, so be aware of them.

Anyway, Gaios-sama at the time seemed in a hurry somewhere, as if he was being chased by something.

Of course, it was the duty of this body to protect and protect such an owner, but he hid me inside this mine and spoke.

To convey your message to the dragon’s sensor who will come here someday.

While saying that this mission is a mission that holds the fate of all humans on the continent–no, the continent.

I proudly accepted his mission, of course.

Then he disappeared from my presence.

Just leave this space and magic power behind.

And, as he said, I was waiting for you, the responder, to arrive here~ These words!

002

“…”

After hearing all the stories, Cleon and Bourbon forgot to keep their mouths shut, staring blankly at the dragon with the best durability.

[Do you understand? How noble I am So, you should respect me a little more.]

The gargoyle proudly said that, but Cleon and Bourbon looked back at each other, met their eyes, and then nodded.

Cleon was talking.

“There is no important information.”

[What are you talking about!?]

As if Cleon’s words were quite unexpected, Yong, who has the best durability, raises his voice with a shocked expression.

However, in front of such a gargoyle, Bourbon also helped a bit.

“There are so many unsolved mysteries… If you’re going to hide it, did you need to make it out of adamantite? And, to think that an existence the size of Gaius was being chased by someone and made a retinue. Isn’t something strange?”

[Ugh, that, that’s…]

Perhaps he thought that each and every one of Bourbon’s points hit the mark, but his endurance was also trembling.

“And why ‘decades’? I think it will be easier to find Gaios if we know the exact number.”

“You really received important information from Gaios…?”

[Enough…!]

The blades of Cleon and Bourbon’s horses continued to get lodged, and the tattered durability was the best, as expected, the mental durability was not great.

[Whoa, whoa… That’s right. If you tell the truth As you said. I myself haven’t heard anything from him.]

“…”

“What are you so proud of…”

[Ha, but! In this body, there really is something that is supposed to be passed on when the responder comes! Exactly, this!]

With that said, when the durable dragon opens his mouth wide, he points to one of his fangs.

“…Teeth?”

[This isn’t just teeth! Come closer and take a look!]

At the words of the dragon with the best durability, when Cleon and Bourbon closely inspected it as they got closer, they could clearly see that the color was slightly different from the other teeth.

“This… Only these teeth are not pure adamantite. Something is wrapped in adamantite.”

When Bourbon taps her with the tips of her fingers, the gargoyle hums and talks while pretending to snort at her.

[Hehe~ That’s right! Inside, there is a piece of Gaios-sama’s horn!]

“…Antlers.”

When Cleon heard that, he looked at his dragon ring for a moment.

The dragon’s horn is the essence of the dragon’s magical power, and at the same time, it was as important an organ as the second heart to them.

Since the nerves are connected, it was extremely painful to cut or break them, and having even some fragments in them means that it is really important to dragons.

[The fact that Gaios-sama, Dragons Roleplay- So, the fact that he entered Yu-Gi, because I am also a member of his household, can be known by the magical connection with him. I don’t directly know where he is, but…]

“…Indeed. If I, the sensor, have that horn fragment, then I can find out where Gaios has disappeared.”

The horn will react with the dragon ring and absorb some of its power. When that happens, the ring will automatically provide a clue to tracking Gaios.

Indeed, it could be said that it was a ring of convenience to find Gaios.

However- by saying that he had gone there, did Gaios anticipate that a responder would appear to him someday?

Cleon looked down at the ring on his finger and quietly organized his thoughts.

‘I was handed over this ring through my relationship with Luti, but it was not certain that I would become the responder.’

Even if it was said that it was not specifically waiting for Cleon, fate was an odd one.

It was because Cleon, who was the culprit who took away a lot from Gaius, the dark horse clan, who had inherited her previous life factor, became her responder and came to her eastern country to find her.

…It’s not that I can’t understand why Yong, who has the best durability, made that kind of expression when he saw himself.

—Anyway, for now, the horn must be retrieved in order to know Gaios’ true intentions.

“Good. Then, let me pull out those fangs.”

Cleon sighs and talks to Yong, who has the best durability.

Then, the dragon with excellent durability closed her mouth that had been wide open and talked while looking at Cleon.

[Of course! That is, if you pass the test! Eight!]

“Under?”

The next moment, when the gargoyle spreads its wings wide, the powerful wind pressure generated in the process and the magical pressure radiating from its body blows Cleon and Bourbon’s bodies backward.

Cleon quickly drew his sword and rammed it into the ground to prevent it from colliding with the wall, and at the same time, he reached out his hand and caught Bourbon’s hand as he flew away, holding on to the spot.

“Keugh…!”

“What, what are you doing that guy…!”

Bourbon, who seems to have been heated by the sudden attack by the dragon with the best durability, pulled out his pickaxe and prepared for battle as soon as the wind calmed down.

“I didn’t think it would be possible to give it so gently… But it seems to be more troublesome than I thought.”

Some of the ore grains that exploded from the spread wings might have passed Cleon’s cheeks, and he felt a tingling sensation in the vicinity.

When he swiped the ball with the back of his hand, he could see that red blood flowed there.

[Of course! It’s to prevent an incompetent sensor from taking Gaios-sama’s horn! As I named myself, the durability of this body is ‘adamantite’ level! That, too, is a special product made by Gaios-sama himself by pouring his magic into it and processing it! Nehahaha!]

Looking at the gargoyle, who raised his voice in high spirits as if he had no intention of looking at it, Cleon pulled out the adamantite sword that had been driven into the ground and straightened his posture.

This is the basic posture when wielding a two-handed sword in Talchek style swordsmanship.

“…!”

And, seeing her posture, her Bourbon opened her eyes wide as if she was slightly surprised, and Cleon stood in front of Bourbon, extending one arm to embrace her.

“Bourbon. You’re a bit off That guy… Wants to test my skills.”

“…Heng, you’re saying something disappointing, bro.”

Hearing Cleon’s words, Bourbon smiled as if blowing his nose, then took something out of the tool pouch attached to the suit and snapped it onto the tip of the handle of the pickaxe.

“Looks like a solid guy. Wouldn’t it be better for me to help?”

It was a spiral-shaped spear.

The material didn’t look like steel, but if you say adamantite, it looked like another metal, so there’s no doubt that it’s a rare metal.

It was a bit difficult to see as a weapon, and it was a tool that I thought would be useful for digging holes.

Still, if the opponent is an ore, it might be better than a sword.

“…Are you okay? It might be dangerous.”

The opponent, as he himself said, was a gargoyle with durability beyond imagination, and at the same time infused with the magical energy of the Earth Dragon, Gaios.

It was a class that was already difficult to deal with, but if the body was adamantite, Cleon himself was confident of a difficult fight.

Then, Bourbon looked at Cleon and answered with a thumbs up as if there was no problem.

“Of course. If you back down here because you’re scared, Geoje will disgrace the name of the ‘Earth Quaker’ tribe. Are you saying you’re abandoning your friend’s partner and running away!”

Bourbon’s voice resounded, and when she slammed the pickaxe she was holding into the ground, the spiral spear she had just attached sparkled and glowed, and the magic engraved on the spiral blade was activated.

When he thought that the ground was shaking, the ocher-colored mana flowing through the ground stretched out, stopped at the ground at the location of the gargoyle’s jaw, and drew a magic circle.

And-.

“Besides, that guy who’s been scratching my nerves since a while ago is bad!”

Kwajik!

When Bourbon shouted that while clenching her fists, a rock awl—no, just a tight awl—came out of the magic circle and struck the dragon’s chin with great durability!

[Oh my gosh!?]

The screaming gargoyle, if it went in properly, it would have pierced the jaw and the match would have ended.

“I have to pay off the debt I helped you twice!”

Looking at Bourbon, who shouted with a cheery voice, Cleon put a smile on his lips.

Then, while holding the sword straight with both hands, he rushed at the gargoyle, whose movement slowed down in confusion at the awl protruding.

“Goes!”
