#1001. It turned out to be a dragon
* * *
It was a strange boy.
obviously at a young age.
It wasn’t just because of the white hair like the old man’s.
Even if you look at it, even if you don’t even have a proper teacher, it’s a sword that is sharper than any other swordsman’s swordsmanship.
Even when cutting someone’s throat and suffocating, let alone a moment of hesitation, his attitude was as calm as if he were cutting a blade of grass.
Above all, those desolate eyes that don’t believe in other people and have no hope or hope.
Even he, who met all kinds of human groups on a long journey with his teacher, couldn’t take his eyes off him.
So it was.
Although he was a teacher who reluctantly accepted him after being dissatisfied with him even though he was clinging to him to the extent that he was not enough, let alone three highs and lows.
Rather, when the boy was kidnapped and brought as a disciple.
It’s natural.
Why did he calmly agree?
In any case, it was because the boy was a genius enough to be accepted by the Sword Emperor, and the boy looked special in many ways even in his eyes, who were peeking at the tip of the sword.
And after they started touring together.
The boy’s specialness went deeper and deeper.
Of course, as they have to avoid the eyes of the Seven Dragons, they silently follow the long-distance journey.
It was truly admirable to see the boy adapting day by day, accepting even the harshest teachings of the sword system.
Especially after teaching myself.
he came to know
That the specialness of the boy he saw was nothing more than a fragment.
Of course, let alone learning any swordsmanship, he imitated it to near perfection just by looking at it.
If you teach one thing, even if you don’t know ten things, you don’t take anything lightly and accept it only after deep consideration.
More alluring than a world-class beauty.
More brilliant than any gold or silver treasure.
It is more desirable than alcohol aged for decades.
The more I taught, the more I regretted not being able to teach more.
and time passes
learn to be respectful
Knowing the respect for the Master.
Even getting used to cooking.
Between fighting back to back.
The boy suddenly became as special as his teacher, regardless of talent.
Perhaps he unconsciously reflected on the boy the family lost by the Seven Dragons and used it as a substitute.
But it didn’t matter.
All in all, the military department.
Teachers are like parents.
Alumni are like brothers.
In that sense, it was natural for the brother-in-law to regard the priest as if he were his own brother.
That’s why the boy, who had gone through countless things and became a sword master before he knew it, always kept his circumstances in his hands even though he repeatedly blocked his way.
No matter how important it is to destroy the descendant of the dragon.
It was because there was no real reversal until after the brother’s life was taken.
Above all, neither he nor the priest.
The one who inherited the Dragon Slaughter Sword of the Sword Emperor.
Because you have the will to slay dragons.
Even if he couldn’t throw away that kindness now and stood in his way, he was sure that one day he would also understand and accept it.
even before death.
even until death.
even after death.
But…
“…”
Sweep.
slowly.
The Sword Demon raised one hand.
And then, with a smirk, he patted his cheek.
Looking at the blood on his fingers, he closed his eyes heavily.
Limon turns into a sword.
The moment the platinum-colored sword light exploded.
He also drew the power of the dragon sword, unfolded his sword, and swung two swords to receive the sword light, but he ended up getting hurt.
Of course, it was nothing new.
He is also a swordsman.
No matter how much the best sword in the world, if you fight to the death, you will always get hurt.
The opponent is the same Sword Master.
Even more so if it was Limon.
Nevertheless, the reason why Sword Demon had no choice but to be agitated was that the energy that had left him scarred was so special.
So he slowly turned his head forward again.
Even the tough horns.
Wings spread wide.
The tail that stretched out too long.
All of them disappeared before I knew it, and only the split pupils and a few scales remained.
But that didn’t mean that the dragon’s energy had weakened.
rather the opposite.
A dragon psionic that was so massive that it erupted explosively.
It was compressed and arranged, and it sat quietly in a body optimized for wielding a sword.
It’s like a sword sharpened by melting various gemstones that were rare and hard, but then hit them with a hammer.
So it was.
The reason why Sword Demon had no choice but to open his mouth as if lamenting seeing Limon like that.
“…Did you throw away the dragon sword?”
“no. I just accepted it.”
I quietly shook my head towards such a sword demon.
Limon spoke calmly.
“I have already told you that I have brides.”
“You mean those half-dragons?”
“It is not half-baked. Now it is a complete dragon.”
Even after hearing that the seven dragons that the master had sacrificed his life to defeat had finally resurrected, the Sword Demon was not shaken.
I had already guessed that much of the truth from the moment I saw Limon, who had the energy of a dragon.
Even if it became a dragon anyway.
He was no longer his adversary.
However, at Limon’s words that continued even with such a sword, his eyebrows could not help but twitch.
“But they are also people.”
“Are those born as dragons with dragon blood and dragon souls called humans?”
“If people who live together with people, protect people, and love people are not called people, what can we call them?”
What is the definition of a person
A race of humans?
Funny thing.
In the first place, the spirits that opened human civilization were not even creatures, and the fairy queen herself became a fairy to take care of humans.
The Great Witch, like a box of everything, who always grumbles and does anything he asks, is a half-man, half-god.
There is even a blue bird that claims to be his pet and mascot.
If so, could they be humans?
Should we just ignore human rights and blindly kill or exclude people just because they are of a different race?
“If we hate them just because they are different from us, then everyone in the world should hate each other.”
In fact, he has seen and experienced it.
because of different races.
Because the country is different.
because of their different identities.
because of different ideas.
because of different ages.
because of the different genders.
because of their different appearance.
That it is human beings who can kill, discriminate, loot, and insult even their own people for all sorts of reasons.
“…You mean that even our enmity toward dragons is nothing more than such trivial hatred and discrimination.”
“Yes that’s right.”
“…”
That is not a word like a dragon slayer who slayed a dragon and a protector of mankind who has fought against the Seven Dragons for hundreds of years.
It was an assertion that was tantamount to denying one’s own life.
nevertheless.
Limon acknowledged that fact.
“I knew that a long time ago. I just couldn’t accept it.”
Ever since he married the seven princesses…
no, he already knew about the world peace plan and accepted Li Qingyu’s marriage proposal.
As long as the Seven Dragons keep the peace, his antagonism against the dragon is nothing more than an old mess.
“Yeah, maybe.”
Unexpectedly so calmly.
Sword Demon acknowledged that fact.
He hated dragons more than anyone else, so he couldn’t deny his hatred.
“But, priest. Even so, the nature of the dragon does not change.”
But that didn’t mean he gave up his hatred.
no matter how insignificant
Every discrimination has a reason.
And depending on the cause, discrimination sometimes becomes a matter of course rather than a deserved thing to do.
“The dragon is greedy and arrogant. They never give up their desire for monopoly and do not know how to surrender, so they will eventually ruin the world.”
“No, they can change.”
Limon denied the Sword Demon’s confidence without the slightest hesitation.
Charlotte who threw away her pride.
Rose learns of the compromise.
Hasneti who seeks peace.
Ainchar, who is not swayed by prophecies.
Yekathrice, who gave up her mad obsession.
And Li Qingyu, who believes in himself more than anyone else.
The Sword Demon did not doubt the assertion of Limon, which he could make because he had been watching their actions until now.
I just quietly pointed it out.
“The problem is that it can change. If it can get better, it can get worse.”
“…”
“Now, they might be useful to the world. But what about in 100 years? And what will happen in 1000 years?”
“….”
“And what if they give birth to descendants? Do you believe that their descendants will not ruin the world for generations?”
“If I say I believe, it will be blind faith.”
yes it is
they are not human
A dragon who obtained a lifespan as far off as that of an immortal by completing the dragon’s true blood.
When Sword Demon asked if they could guarantee that they wouldn’t fall forever, Limon couldn’t answer.
It’s not that I don’t believe in priests.
How easy it is to be a human being and change in some unexpected way.
Limon, who lived for a long time and knew so well that he saw even the fallen disciples himself, believed in the priests and loved them, but he could not blindly trust them.
Instead, it could be guaranteed.
“So I’ll make you believe.”
“…You’re going to make me believe you?”
“yes.”
After nodding slightly.
Limon spoke calmly.
“I will allow priests to rule the world, but I will not stand by.”
“….”
“I will always watch over them, warn them, and help them move on the right path.”
“….”
“In this way, we will rule the world together as a line that they must never cross and a nest where they can stay forever.”
When he was the protector of mankind.
He only fought against all sorts of calamities.
He never got involved in politics.
Because he knew that there was no correct answer to rule and that excessive intervention would only lead to his own corruption.
But now I won’t be watching.
I don’t know if I’m alone
Because with them, I have the conviction that I can go beyond protecting the world and lead it in a better direction.
Of course, it may be the faith of a blind man blinded by love.
If you don’t, you may be the one who ruins everything.
But he didn’t hesitate.
As long as you have proven your qualifications as a bride.
Because he had the duty to take responsibility as a groom and trust, love, and take care of them.
“…is it.”
And seeing Limon like that.
long.
long.
long.
at the end of silence.
The Sword Demon quietly closed his eyes.
“You became a dragon after all.”
I thought it could be undone until I became dragon by using dragon psionic.
But now I know.
Now that Limon can’t come back.
By subduing the never-yielding dragon with love and controlling their greed, she will go beyond being the protector of humanity and become the ruler of humanity… No, that has
already happened.
It must be because of that determination that he was able to create a new sword in the first place.
“…The title of swordsman doesn’t suit me anymore.”
As a courtesy to the teacher and the brother-in-law, he asked to be called a mere ball, not even a queen.
I loved you more than anyone else.
I loved it as much as my life.
But now it’s fallen.
The Sword Demon, who looked at the priest who had become a dragon who could never be compatible with himself with lonely eyes, finally slowly raised his sword.
“Come, Sword Dragon.”
and as the death penalty.
As a last courtesy to the priest.
After thinking it through, he said.
A new title given to a priest who has grown too big to be called a mere swordsman.
A name suitable for the new absolute who will rule the world with the seven dragons and his one and only rival.
“No, Swordsman Dragon King.”
