BXBX NOVEL Chapter 223
BANG!
It didn’t take much time for the peak of the mountain to break down .
Ssss…
As the tallest point of the Dragonia mountain range broke down, dust flew everywhere .
“Huu! Finally, I feel like I can breathe . ”
A girl looked up at the sky and smiled refreshingly .
Pitch black hair .
Almost crystalline, amethyst eyes .
Jade-like skin .
This girl who looked about 10 was the ancient black dragon, Desdemona . She had changed her appearance by polymorphing .
If one asked her why she had changed into the appearance of a 10 year old, it would have to be purely her tastes .
“Ah, maybe I should have made an air refresher here or something . ”
Desdemona said, licking her lips .
After sleeping for a thousand years while breathing in the dust from her cave, it wasn’t strange for her to think of an air refresher .
[Are you going?]
The system of the lair, Pinefly asked .
“Yeah . ”
[I hope you have a nice time . ]
“Hmph, what nice time? This might be the last time I go out entirely . ”
[Well, yeah, maybe . ]
“Well, whatever . There are still a few years until ‘that’ happens, and I also have lived for a long time too . ”
[Master…]
“What is that sad voice that doesn’t fit that of an AI?”
[ . . . ]
“Anyway, good job until now . ”
[No, master . I will clean the lair so that when master gets back…]
“No . ”
Desdemona shook her head .
“It will be a little bit difficult for me to get back . ”
[Well then…]
“That’s right, use that . ”
[Yes, master . ]
Pinefly responded, and the huge lair started to glow red .
Wiing, wiing!
With the sounds of sirens going off, an announcement could be heard in the lair .
[Warning, warning!]
[The lair system has been turned off!]
[The A . I, Pinefly, will turn off!]
[The lair will explode in 5 minutes . ]
[4:59… 58… 57… 56…]
“My home…”
Desdemona murmured to herself quietly .
Her age now at 7000 .
When she became a ‘wyrm’ level dragon at age 3,000, she had beaten up and kicked out the ancient white dragon that lived here . She had lived here for 4000 years now .
4000 years .
Even though it sounded simple, that was definitely not a short amount of time, and it was extremely hard for her to part ways with this place that she had spent so much time in .
“Well, let’s forget about it . ”
Trying to shake off her sadness, Desdemona started to walk away .
“Fly!”
The miraculous ‘dragon language’ .
With this magic that only dragons could use, Desdemona’s body started to float .
“Swift!”
And with terrifying speeds, Desdemona’s body broke through the lair she had spent 4000 years of her life in .
[3:11… 10… 9… 8…]
After getting out of the lair, Desdemona didn’t leave right away and instead looked at the lair . She wanted to look at it, even in its last moments .
[6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…]
[0 . ]
[The lair has been closed . ]
With the final announcement,
BANG!
BANG!
The lair started to fall, with an extremely large explosion .
“Goodbye, my home . ”
Nodding slightly, Desdemona looked at her destroyed home .
-Kuoooo!
At that moment .
-Krr . . . !
A giant, blue-scaled creature came out and roared .
A long, golden horn that was shooting out lightning .
Flashing sky-blue scales .
Greenish eyes .
Webbed feet .
The monster that had just appeared was a blue dragon, that was famed to not lose in the slightest in terms of ferocity against even a black dragon .
It was obvious why this blue dragon had woken up .
It was because of the loud noise that came when Desdemona’s lair had been destroyed . It had come out to find out who dared to bother its sweet nap!
“And who the hell are you?”
Desdemona stared at the blue dragon with contemptuous eyes .
Her gaze wasn’t as if she was looking at her own species .
She had the eyes of one that looked at a lower being, like a human staring at a bug .
“You damned fake . ”
Desdemona spoke towards the blue dragon .
“Hey, you lizard . ”
- . . .
“Get lost while I’m feeling nice . What do you think you’re doing in front of a true ancient dragon when you’re just a pack of experience for the ‘avengers’?”
Shockingly, Desdemona didn’t think that this blue dragon was on the same level as her .
They were somewhat different .
Unlike Desdemona who polymorphed and could talk, the blue dragon only roared, showing off its ferocity .
This was the difference between having an ego or not .
It was like the difference between the sky and the ground .
-Krrr…!
But even still, the blue dragon didn’t seem to understand any of Desdemona’s words .
Pzzt, pzzt!
Instead, it responded by charging up lightning in its horn, and shooting its specialty ‘Lightning Breath’ towards Desdemona .
However,
“You dare?”
Saying that, Desdemona’s purplish eyes started to turn red,
Flash!
And in the blink of an eye, a gargantuan black dragon appeared .
-K… Krr…?
Looking at her, the blue dragon momentarily paused, forgetting to even shoot out its breath .
Whilst Desdemona was around 150 metres, the blue dragon was only around 55 metres .
Almost a 3 times difference .
Basically, it was putting a somewhat high-class Coupe in front of a ridiculously expensive sports car .
“Hey . ”
Poking her tail at the blue dragon’s face, Desdemona spoke .
-K… Kr . . .
“You wanna die? Huh?”
- . . .
“What, you’re gonna continue staring at me like that? Looks like you really wanna die…”
At Desdemona’s words, the blue dragon immediately looked down .
It had no choice .
What could it do when this monstrosity of a being was telling it not to stare at it like that?
It was obvious it would just die or be eaten if it didn’t listen .
“Or are you mad that I bothered your sleep? Huh?”
Shake shake .
The blue dragon immediately shook its head fiercely .
“Oh, really?”
Nod nod .
It seemed like even the fiercest of monsters wanted to live .
“So, any other complaints?”
Shake shake~ .
“You don’t, right?”
Nod nod~ .
“If you’re a minor, then act like one, idiot!”
Pow!
Desdemona’s tail smashed onto the blue dragon’s face .
- . . .
But the only thing the blue dragon could do was remain silent, afraid of Desdemona .
“Fine then, get lost . ”
-Kuooo!
The blue dragon immediately answered, before spreading its wings and flying away .
“Hmph, to think that a lowly lizard has the title of dragon… What a disgrace… Hu…”
Desdemona shook her head .
Growl,
Bang!
And at that moment, the sound of thunder rumbling in her stomach could be heard .
“Ah, maybe I should have just eaten it . It did look like the perfect size too… Hng…”
Desdemona stared at the blue dragon that was running away, and licked her lips . After sleeping for 1000 years, it was inevitable that she was hungry .
---------
At the same time .
Ah, should I just arrange the marriage in the middle of that damned Vilhelm’s territory or something?
That was right, Kang Chul-In’s marriage .
His damned item, the Needle of the Empress, made it so that Laputa would be destroyed by 3 natural disasters if he arranged the marriage there .
And so, it didn’t sound bad to go into the middle of Albrecht Vilhelm’s territory, and destroy everything with this item there instead .
Wouldn’t that be cool?
This would be the first time in history that marriage would become a real threat and disaster .
Ha, this is ridiculous .
But still, Kang Chul-In wasn’t crazy enough to actually put this thought into action .
Marriage was something to be celebrated, and a Lord’s marriage was even more special .
[System error!]
[Things have changed, and thus the contents of the Awakening Quest have changed as well . ]
[The original Awakening Quest, ‘Dragon Slayer,’ has been cancelled . ]
What the hell?
Kang Chul-In’s expression stiffened .
A sudden error in the system, and the cancelling of a quest?
Dragon Slayer (cancelled)
Kill the blue dragon that lives within the Dragonia Mountain Range!
Reward: +10 Levels / 500,000 gold / +5 Enhancement of the Lord’s specialty .
Notification: Due to the fact that the blue dragon has left its habitat, this quest can no longer be done .
-Warning: The new Awakening Quest will be given in around 30 days when the System calculates a suitable quest .
-Alarm: Due to the System Error, you have been rewarded 3 [Random Unit Selection] tickets .
What the hell is going on…
Kang Chul-In bit his lips .
From his experience, this was the first time that the System had malfunctioned like this .
Even though the system looked like a simple ‘Status page’ from a game, it wasn’t something to underestimate .
A giant ‘something’ that controlled the Pangaea continent .
This was how Kang Chul-In thought of the system, and it was a mystery that no one had been able to solve .
But the system malfunctioned?
It was obvious that Kang Chul-In would be astonished .
Of course, this was because Kang Chul-In didn’t know the real reason behind why this had happened .
He didn’t know the truth . . . that the blue dragon had run away with its tail tucked between its legs after meeting Desdemona .
