Chapter 596 – 010 BAD ENDING 001 the End of the Hero Who Became the Dragon’s Property [Fantasy/Mannequinization]
Floren Continent. A black knight appeared in the castle of the great devil Fafnir.
Black armor that hides all facial expressions and emotions. Like a golem created by an alchemist, it always stood in the same posture.
The only thing that can be recognized is the pitch-black armor with soft curves. Thanks to the hair color, we were able to secure information that the black knight’s identity was a blonde woman with large breasts.
One of the pedestals dedicated to the Stone Gargoyle that the Great Devil had newly purchased was always reserved for someone.
Black knight. A favorite ornament of the castle owner. It was her older sister’s reserved seat.
One month. Even at the moment when the Adventurer’s Guild set the Silver Dragon’s Nest as a super-dangerous area, where not a single person returned, Mehisha remained the Dragon’s Black Knight.
Another month. Even as three months passed, including the time it stood like an ornament, the Black Knight still adorned Fafnir’s castle.
From the people’s point of view, the identity was unknown, but for the demons who knew that the silver dragon had no mother, the fact that Fafnir had flesh was a surprise in itself.
The high-level demons who came to find out the reason were surprised twice.
Take a look at the high-quality items and adventurer plate loot displayed in the hallway of Fafnir’s castle. I was once again surprised by the black knight, the reason it was decorated like that.
Everyone coveted Fafnir’s Black Knight.
An unidentified knight whose entire body is covered in intimidating dragon magic armor, but who is as strong as a warrior, capable of surviving the Silver Dragon, which had nothing at all. It wasn’t enough to envy the black knight on display in the hallway.
Although I coveted it, there were no demons in Fafnir’s castle who could put their imaginations into action.
It was natural, considering how the Demon King died a month ago.
I don’t know where he is or what he’s doing, but he wasn’t killed by the hero who was confirmed by an oracle to be alive.
The devil’s last words were a threat to hand over ownership of the Black Knight if he did not want to die.
He was killed by the Black Knight who came down from the pedestal at the command of the Silver Dragon.
Even if the goal of defeating the Demon King was achieved, the Black Knight did not disappear.
The older sister familiar was standing next to Fafnir.
The first few days were so scary that I had to sleep with my tail shaking, but a month has already passed.
Although I couldn’t confirm her sister’s identity, I now understood what her express bus was.
It’s not like I was unfairly hit on the head with an object called a flower pot. Since she wasn’t hit by a large truck while drunk, there was no reason for her sister to be subpoenaed.
So Fafnir was relieved.
“Mehisha worries every day? How worried was she back then… Huh?”
A pedestal prepared for the Black Knight. There was nothing in her sister’s reserved seat.
The intruder had long ago disappeared. As a bonus, the demons only came to offer lip service.
A familiar is a tool. Since the weapon does not level up when hunting monsters, the experience gained by the Black Knight was absorbed by the growing Silver Dragon, Fafnir.
As well as continuing to deal with the adventurer party. It was decisive that the Black Knight defeated the Demon King.
Fafnir has become so strong that representatives of the tribes have been secretly contacting him on the Floren continent, where everyone is keeping a close eye on when and how he will betray.
“Sister?”
So now it should always be here… Silver Dragon’s most important and valuable treasure was not displayed on the pedestal.
There was no sight of the new family.
“You’re sitting next to your sister, right? Do you know where she is?”
“P… Fafnil?!?”
Although the stone gargoyle who was questioned by the castle’s owner was so surprised that his posture loosened. He could have gotten a better answer.
“Because Fafnir is the one who possesses the Black Knight’s soul. Wouldn’t it be possible to confirm the location using that?”
Rather than answering that I don’t know, I just wanted you to tell me where it is. That wasn’t bad either.
Since it is also a familiar, it can be summoned and tracked using the magic armor it is wearing.
There were so many ways to call out her sister that you could choose.
“… Huh?”
Fafnir, who had grown as both a dragon and a devil, created a magic circle on the pedestal just for her sister, but there was no response.
Since nothing appeared, I used magic to forcefully drag the dragon’s magic armor I was wearing as a black knight to here.
My sister is strong, so even if she hits the wall, she won’t get hurt. It was a good idea because her face, arms, and chest were completely covered with armor.
“Oh… No…?”
Even when Fafnir snapped his fingers, there were no decorations flying powerfully.
Even if Silver Dragon made an annoyed expression instead of showing fear that he didn’t want to acknowledge, there was only one thing left to do.
All that was left was to confirm the connection with the familiar.
Checking the condition of the soul that has taken over ownership is the devil’s specialty. The dragon demon instantly found out where the Black Knight and Sister Mehisha were and what condition they were in.
“Uh… Where are we going?!”
Mehisha was displayed on the spot.
Even at this very moment, it was existing on a pedestal and also disappearing.
Even though it stretched out its thick tail, it touched nothing, and although it seemed like there was nothing left, there was definitely a soul contracted in a master-slave relationship.
“What… What…”
The word that comes to mind is reverse summoning. This was a phenomenon that my sister, who was once known as Hero Mehisha, was always worried about.
Instead of disappearing, the soul was moving somewhere else.
At night, she left the mehi shah displayed in the hallway next to her bed to check her soul’s memory, so she knows where it is.
It was Earth.
“Even if you defeated the Demon King, you were still fine?! But why?!”
It is a world that most warriors come across, but it is also a place where my sister who became a black knight also came across. Now that she knows the route to the destination, she can be prevented from getting there.
“I can never let you go like this!!”
I would understand if they were forcibly arresting a poor soul. Her older sister had already given herself to Fafnil.
I was never forced to put it up like an ornament. Although it may be different from other people’s perspectives, it was something that was agreed upon and satisfied between the parties.
Silver Dragon was more afraid of losing his family, who appeared like a ray of light from the sky, than of a familiar with tremendous combat power called the Black Knight.
“Soul… Caught…♡”
On an empty pedestal, I grabbed hold of something that could not be expressed in material form.
The judgment that I had caught it clearly came to mind.
Instead of feeling it with my mind, I could clearly see it with my eyes.
“Never… Do you think I’ll ever miss it? I’ve received so much… I can never send it back until I pay it all back… No, I won’t let it go…♡”
The older sister was coming back, wearing armor as if she were a dragon and proudly sticking out her chest.
She was on her way back, but the vivid black, like her sister’s new name, had lost its color again.
It’s not that she turned black and white, but that she was robbed of her own color, as if she were no longer allowed to exist.
“Yo… Oh…?”
It’s clearly being held by magical power. Someone was forcefully pulling off Fafnir’s fingers one by one.
Of course I resisted. It was impossible for even a grown dragon devil to respond to pressure coming from a direction he did not understand.
I was able to express it a little bit.
That power was the same as the one that turned her older sister, who was human, into [].
Even if it was allowed to check the world called Earth, it was a power that did not allow it to peek into its own existence.
The dragon girl, who was smart enough to understand the warrior’s situation and propose a ridiculous event called a decoration, calculated the result.
“”Oh… No… Really…”
The answer was fixed.
“I really… No… No… I really… Please… I’m asking you to do this…”
For some, it was three months of overcoming a survival crisis and meeting a new family…
“Please don’t take Mehisha away!!”
To that power, it felt like tearing open the soft jelly wrapper three times.
Hero Mehisha, who had been summoned to the Floren Continent, just disappeared.
“Aaaaah?!?!”
Although it would be more accurate to say that we returned to the original world. It was the same thing to the great devil who lost his family.

[Energy collection completed. Waiting for recovery]
“Mumbling… Oh. You’re back. Hyunwoo?”
“Identification name not registered. Energy collection process completed.”
For energy collection units that do not have a unique identification name registered, instead of inputting a comment about your first experience. A request has been received to recover the secured energy.
[Waiting for energy transfer]
Just as a person using both hands cannot lift a new object. As a base unit, there was nothing the device could think of as it was about to be finalized.
The base unit being used to transmit the energy gathered from all thought circuits without loss was all that existed in an alert posture with the palms pressed to the thighs.
Processing new information entered during the process was of low priority.
“Achacha… I’ll prepare right away. With this, I can finally make the necessary modifications to the base unit. Please listen to me, Hyunwoo.”
“…”
As a base unit for alien life forms, the sensation I felt when I placed my palm on the floor so that I could access my navel once more. It was similar to when it was displayed as a dragon decoration.
Identification name not registered. Lulu’s base unit successfully completed its first mission of securing energy.
[Energy transmitting. Elapsed time 44 minutes 56 seconds.]
Base units that did not display the estimated remaining time remained standing until the procedure was completed.
