chapter 80
80 – A fight that someone loses (6)
“It’s a nine-month dream… I see. It would be much more painful to drop it from the highest place.”
Nine months ago, when he admitted defeat and left, Ciliapari had already decided to come back.
He appeared at a time when her childbirth was imminent and the anticipation of giving birth to her child was at its peak, in an attempt to kill Liana.
Celia Paris answered, broadening her hideous, insidious smile.
“Where is it?”
“Do you think you will tell me? And do you think I will save you before that?”
“You probably have no choice but to do that. Can you kill me now? Otherwise, you would have killed me long ago when I destroyed the human city. But you let me go because you couldn’t kill me, right?”
Said Celia Paris, licking her lips with her long snake-like tongue.
“If you kill me, your blood relatives will come from the island, so you’re afraid. But what can you do? I still have a binding spell on my body. As long as this spell is on, Ergaduk can never kill me. You know that. ? Binding magic can never be broken without the caster’s will.”
Ciliapari had a triumphant expression on his face.
“And then, I found out that you killed two of your collateral blood relatives? Murdering your blood relatives… Mr. Ergaduk. What are you really planning to do? The person who is said to be the Lord successor of your blood relatives…”
“Cilia Paris.”
I quietly cut her off.
“If you don’t have anything more to say other than criticizing me, let’s get started. I also want to settle the situation quickly.”
Celia Paris, realizing that I was trying to kill her, asked, her smile slightly distorting.
“Are you sure you want to kill me? If I die, my blood relatives will come. Even if it is Ergaduk, they will come in droves…”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Yes…?”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll just kill you right here and disappear.”
“Are you serious…?”
“It was an error of judgment on my part. It was my fault for keeping you alive because it was a waste to lose the things I had in my hands.”
Celia Paris trembled at the corners of her mouth.
“Ergaduk, come to your senses. Don’t fall for the tongue of that b*tch named Liana. She won’t live for even a hundred years anyway before she dies.”
“Whether it’s a hundred years or a hundred days.”
“Don’t do that, Ergaduk. Come with me. You don’t want to go back to the island, do you? Come with me to the end of the continent. We live there alone, just the two of us. I came to tell you that. In fact, I have no interest in human females with babies. No. Ergaduk and I can build our own honeymoon home at the end of the continent, at the peak of a deep mountain range that no one can reach, and start over.”
Ciliapari began to ramble, disrupting the flow of conversation.
I slowly shook my head.
“Ciliafari. I detest you.”
“What…?”
“Four lost wings.”
The smile disappeared from Ciliafari’s face.
“You knew…”
“You really thought I wouldn’t know. Am I the Lord’s successor?”
Ciliafari is a dragon with a pathological obsession.
A long time ago, she loved a male dragon.
She wanted to win the male’s heart, but due to Celia Paris’ abnormal mental state, the male avoided her.
So, in order to attract the male’s attention, the Celia fly committed self-mutilation by tearing off one of her six wings with her own hands.
Nevertheless, in the end, Cilia Paris achieved nothing.
Because that male was her own subadult brother.
Ciliapari should have been punished according to the strict laws of the clan, but she was not.
This is because among Lord’s collateral lineages, Ciliafari was the only adult female dragon.
The Presbyterian Council originally planned to get me engaged to Ciliafari, so they ignored Ciliafari’s crazy behavior.
This is a secret known only to the elders, the Lord, and me, who, as his successor, is somewhat involved in the affairs of the clan.
“How can the object of the object change so easily, Celia Paris, when I was so obsessed and loved that I tore off her wings?”
“That… That’s because Ergaduk is my fiancé dragon…”
“No.”
I sternly interrupted her.
“You’re not obsessed with me because you’re an engaged dragon or because you have affection for me. You’re just obsessed because you need someone to be obsessed with. That’s because you’re a pervert who feels joy and pleasure in the very situation of being obsessed and clinging to me. Isn’t that right? “
“Ergaduk…”
“You probably want to cut off my limbs and imprison me, right? Like you tried and failed to do to your brother?”
Ciliafari’s face hardened.
“Oh, and I’m only saying this now. You couldn’t have gotten pregnant in the first place.”
“What is that…?”
“I used humans’ contraceptives. I didn’t even leave the possibility of choosing you from the beginning.”
“Stop it!”
Celia Paris screamed and cast her unknown magic.
The powerful magic that was about to pierce my chest was blocked by the magic shield created by Keita and shattered.
Keita was thrown backwards and rolled around on the floor.
Keita’s current skills cannot handle the amount of magical power the dragon handles.
“Step back. You are not the one to step forward.”
Keita said, struggling to raise her body.
“Lord… I’ll open the portal and leave that crazy dragon alone…”
“No. Go first. Go and find Liana. I will tear off all of its remaining wings and follow it.”
To prevent Keita from coming any closer, she tightly condensed her magic between her and me.
Eventually, Keita turned around and ran beyond the dispersing cloud of dust.
“Wherever you go, Cilia Paris.”
Noticing that Keita was going to look for Liana, she blocked Celia Paris, who was trying to follow her.
“Ergaduk…”
“I will kill you here and use your blood and bones as a sacrifice to comfort the souls of the deceased great lord and his vassals.”
“Can you do that?”
“Of course. Definitely.”
Ciliafari and I released the polymorph almost at the same time and returned to the main body.
He let out a dragon’s roar in the face of Cilia Paris, which was about to attack first.
The moment she flinched and stopped, she raised her sharp claws and stabbed Celia’s fly deeply in her side.
I hurriedly put on a protective spell, but the cilia fly’s magic could not block my claws.
「Kaaa!!」
Several of her ribs were broken and Celia Paris let out a scream that made her blood boil.
「I searched all over the human continent to find Ergaduk…! How could you…!”
「Did someone threaten to do that with a knife?」
Her deeply embedded claws shot upward, tearing long strips of her side.
Her thick, white bones were exposed, and her red blood poured down like a waterfall.
The spilled blood penetrated the ruins of the collapsed Yeongju Castle and quickly spread across the ground.
A cilia fly tried to attack with her front paws, but when he twisted her claws, she screamed and flinched.
「I will kill you… I will kill you…!!」
The cilia fly’s mouth opened wide, and poisonous steam and flames glowed strongly from within.
Just before releasing his breath, he clamped down on the ciliafly’s mouth with his other foot.
Celia Paris struggled as the breath exploded in her mouth.
Her breath struck Celia Paris’ body with a direct hit.
Her scales were melting and a terrible stench was released.
「Cilia Paris. You deserve to die here. “Monsters like you should not exist in this world.”
A cilia fly took a strong bite on the neck, pulling her paws out as they grabbed her snout and dug her claws into her sides.
Her teeth, hot with fire and acid, broke her scales and tore at her muscles.
Celia Paris’ body hung limp, with almost half of her neck torn off.
Slammed her down on the floor and spat out the lump of her in her mouth.
Celia Paris’s neck was torn apart and her intestines were spilling out of her torn side.
「You can just kill me and run away…?」
Breathing heavily, Celia Paris opened her mouth.
「It can’t be like that… What I can’t have… Other people shouldn’t have it either… hehehehe… It can’t be like that…」
Her powerful magic swirled from the body of Celia Paris.
The moment her magic was formed, she lifted her foot and crushed Celia Paris’s head.
But she could not calm the huge storm of magical power that had already formed.
Despite losing her master, her magical power soared into the sky like a whirlwind, rotating with its own power.
The clouds in the sky where the magic pillar was inserted were torn apart, creating a huge circular space.
And within it.
Several streams of acidic breath poured down.
As I dodged her body and returned fire with her breath, her angry cry burst out in the air.
「Traitor to your blood family!」
The blood relatives who escaped from the portal approached me quickly, as if they were falling down on me like birds of prey.
Let’s see. One, two, three, four… Six in total.
Now that this has escalated, I have to kill everyone here.
Anyway, he killed three of his blood relatives with cilia flies.
There was no reason to step back or move forward.
「Do you think you guys can take off even one of my scales?」
「Close your mouth and prepare to be drowned in the Southern Ocean, Ergaduk!」
「Try that once」
I polymorphed into a human body and moved behind their backs as if teleporting using acceleration magic.
Returning to my dragon form, I swung one’s spine with my front paw and crushed the other’s head, crushing his skull.
In response to the sudden surprise attack, the other four blood relatives flew in a complicated manner, emitting breath like a smoke screen, and quickly dispersed.
In response to attacks coming from all directions, he spread his six wings and cast a spell.
One of them was pinned to the ground and struggling, as if being crushed by an invisible hand, and the other was hit squarely by my three strands of tail and fell.
The other one flew far away to avoid the breath, and the last one…
It repelled all the attacks and was covered in an aura that flashed like lightning, hitting me directly in the torso.
This guy is of collateral lineage…!
「You foolish cousin! “You’re urging me to do so!”
The thing roared and opened its mouth wide.
I had almost all means of attack tied up while dealing with the other three guys, so I intuitively knew that I had to catch the breath with my body.
The moment the breath that erupted from its mouth was about to touch my body, a magnificent golden shield unfolded and bounced the breath in all directions.
