The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 241: Like a dragon (3)

I knew this well because I was the youngest.

The oldest one was always weak to the youngest.

So I ordered Haiel.

Find Eunaxus location.

By tracking his mana trace, it would be easy to pinpoint his location.

But I had never seen Eunaxus manifest magic. Moreover, I wasnt sure if dragons could manifest magic.

Because of that, I couldnt help but worry.

The place must be quite wide.

The Arcana Continent was vast.

No matter how huge Eunaxus was, his size was nothing but a grain of sand compared to Arcana. So, it was probably harder for Haiel to find Eunaxus than to find a needle in the desert.

However, I was mistaken.

Like telepathy.

A crying sound went into my head.

Kuh

Dragon Fear.

Haiel directly encountered Eunaxus.

It seemed she discovered Eunaxus before I did.

Haiel soon relayed the location where Eunaxus cry was heard.

There was no reason to hesitate.

I immediately manifested a portal and made my way into the swarm of lights.

Then I saw it.

Huh?

A bunch of demons.

They didnt know their place at all.

This was just like them.

They have no fear. Really.

The dying old dragon. fr(e)e

These demons were waiting for Eunaxus to stop breathing.

It was obvious.

They were intending to get something from Eunaxus body.

However.

Do you think I will just sit back and watch that happen?

No, there was no need for me to get angry and step forward.

Eunaxus.

We were connected through the World Tree.

Those who eagerly waited for Eunaxus death.

Do you think Grandfel will tolerate them?

Especially since the demons are the ones committing this atrocity?

This is something that provokes both integrity and pride.

I didnt talk with preys.

Of course, I didnt have to open my mouth.

I didnt have to raise my mana or the ethereal iron either.

Tap tap

Just one.

Taking one step.

The faces of the demons turned white.

Looking back on the messages that appeared a while ago, this wasnt surprising.

Toward tens of millions of demons.

I caused status abnormality fear.

Even when I faced the demons.

!!!

[Crushed occurs to the high-level demon, Flaimp.]

[Crushed occurs to the mid-level demon, Incubus.]

[Crushed occurs to the Seven Fingers of Blasphemy, Sebnawe.]

It would be weirder if they were still fine.

To describe the scene in Grandfels words

Even trampling the bugs would take less effort than this.

Saying that I hunted down hordes of demons without lifting a finger was not a boasting.

You had to do this much to be called a natural enemy, right?

And considering that experience points havent budged.

They would have been demons around level 400-500 at most.

In that regard.

It really felt like Eunaxus was heading towards his death.

He couldnt even chase away such trivial demons.

Up until I encountered Eunaxus

I thought that maybe Eunaxus condition could be improved with healing magic. The hole and the well I dug also included healing magic.

Even though I am not as good Belliere.

I was confident that I wouldnt lose when compared to most healer-class players. But it was arrogance. No, rather than arrogance, I was underestimating my target.

Dragon.

The king of all things.

A flawless creature that made even elves suffer from an inferiority complex.

According to the words of the elf leader, Argentress.

The dragon was a perfect being even without the [Blessing of the First World Tree]. That meant that dragons basically had the blessing effect of the World Tree.

Even with such vitality regeneration effect, it doesnt offset his wound.

Great Dragon-Demon War.

I witnessed it in the records that Mage Tower left in its books.

No high-level magic could scratch the dragons skin.

However, that dragon was now torn apart.

Not only that.

Master

I couldnt see the wings that had freely glided through the dimension.

Indeed, it was enough to make Haiel falter.

I approached Eunaxus without wavering.

Really, I had a million thoughts going through my head.

Who on earth made Eunaxus look like this?

Could I talk with Eunaxus this way?

No, he might die first before that.

I even thought of things I shouldnt think of.

At that moment.

Eunaxus struggled to open his eyes.

Drip

His eyelids quivered.

It looked as if he opened his eyes just before his death.

Even as I faced that gaze, I desperately tried to think.

Would oddity be difficult to do?

Was there [something] I could add to the interference process of healing magic?

Although I had been struggling so much

I was still far too weak to defy a dragons death.

By the way.

Somehow, Eunaxus eyes that had been struggling to open up.

They were wide open.

As if he saw something he shouldnt see.

It definitely seemed like he was looking at me

Was there any reason to be so surprised to see me?

We even shared telepathy.

It was our first time meeting face-to-face.

Eunaxus knew my existence.

Well, as if he could see through my item information.

He called me Dawn.

Haiel must have also told a story about me.

Therefore.

I didnt think there was a reason for him to be so surprised

Kuh

As if just opening his eyes wasnt enough.

Eunaxus struggled to open his mouth.

The sound he made was so small that I couldnt tell what he was saying, but was he perhaps trying to express his gratitude for killing the demons?

No, if that was the case, he didnt need to say anything.

Theres something I was trying to save.

If the demons were involved, I wouldnt just sit back and watch.

He didnt need to be thankful for that.

We didnt share blood but didnt we share the same family tree?

I also had circumstances for why I had to be thorough with these rules.

So I opened my mouth generously.

You dont have to tell me, I know.

But I guess.

I think Ive got something completely wrong.

Despite my words, Eunaxus continued to struggle to speak.

What he said next was not a thank you.

Claudie.

Claaaaudiee?!

As soon as he saw my face?

Did he really see through my status window?!

.

.

.

Eunaxus was certain.

That silver hair was definitely from the past.

It was the silver hair of the Claudie family who saved him and his kin.

So he didnt dare to open his mouth.

Mother, why?

Claudie.

Toward the one who should hate Arcana the most.

Why?

Why did you give him a blessing that requires him to look after Arcana?

For eternity.

Eunaxus never once doubted the will of the World Tree.

The old dragon was shaking.

He couldnt help it.

The will of the World Tree.

It couldnt even be a joke to Claudie.

Therefore, Eunaxus couldnt bear to open his mouth.

At the same time, he considered his near-death situation as fortunate.

I dont have the confidence to face this twist of fate.

But a voice came to his ears.

Dont doubt Master, Eunaxus.

Unfortunately.

I am not doubting him, spirit.

All I have to do is give up on everything and wait for my last breath.

The moment Eunaxus thought so.

Claudies mouth opened.

I will not seek for mercy.

He thought the man would be absolutely cold.

He thought it would be fair if the man beat him up.

When he looked back on Claudies end, and when he considered how he and his kin had turned a blind to that end If the man were to order him to fulfill to his oath, he wouldnt be able to refuse.

But, how come?

You dont have to tell me, I know.

What was heard was an extremely kind voice.

As if he had known everything.

As if he understood.

A kind voice.

Eunaxus unconsciously murmured.

Claudie.

A dying ones self-expression.

With the utmost respect.

He struggled again to open my mouth.

Old Dragon, Eunaxus, humbly meets Claudie

Was it for this moment that he had been holding his breath until now?

His heart.

He felt like it was stopping.

Thump

Bathump

Bathum thump

His heartbeat slowed down uncontrollably.

It was truly a cowardly thing.

Eunaxus swallowed a bitter smile.

Forgive me, I interpreted the meaning of your words as I wish.

The words from Claudie.

With that alone, he felt like he could close his eyes in peace.

He felt like he could turn a blind eye to everything and fall into eternal rest.

The moment Eunaxus gave up on his life.

Eunaxus.

?

I still have something to talk to you about.

!

Did that mean he wasnt just misinterpreting it?

He couldnt help but feel shocked.

The man had something to talk about.

That meant he wouldnt hear any excuse.

Eunaxus was overwhelmed.

His wings had been torn off by his own kin.

He wanted to spread his wings out in response to the man.

But he couldnt afford to do that.

Thump

His heart was really stopping

Thump!

Thump?!

Thump thump thump thump!!

Flinch!

Eunaxus body jumped.

What did this mean?

The dragons heart, which had stopped, began to beat wildly.

If anyone asked whether his vitality returned or not, the answer was no.

Only my heart is beating fast again.

But that was enough.

All power of a dragon came from that heart, the Dragon Heart.

Even if it was temporary.

Even if it was a precarious situation.

As long as his heart was beating fast.

He would be able to do anything.

That was why he couldnt understand.

So understand it.

Claudie, what kind of power was contained in the word he uttered?

That It made his slow heart beat faster again?

Even when he closed his eyes.

Eunaxus felt like he couldnt forget that word.

Vivace.

.

.

.

[Pentagram of Pure Knowledge].

[Map That Connects All Things].

[Evil Eyes Telescope]

The demon kings loot had unique effects.

According to common knowledge of Arcana.

The effect was near incomprehensible.

So I thought it was worth trying.

[Baton of Rhyme]

[Grade: Epic]

[Restriction: None]

[Effect: When worn, acquires extensive musical knowledge and gives everything under the control of the wearer with a buff of effects that match that musical knowledge.]

[Description: A magic tool with effects as noble as its noble appearance.]

Although it was a temporary measure.

I figured I could pump up Eunaxus heartbeats that were gradually fading away.

Even in my opinion, this was a lame method.

If only I had been a little more convincing.

I could have been able to use odd recovery magic to successfully save Eunaxus.

Even if I didnt necessarily bring up recovery magic, I wished I had been a little better at reversal magic. Maybe I could have turned Eunaxus back to before he was hurt.

But I was good at knowing my place.

Thanks to that, I knew how far-fetched it was.

Of course, I didnt intend to just sit around and suck my fingers.

Ill just do the best I can.

To put it another way.

What I am saying is that I will struggle with my usual attitude.

So understand it, Eunaxus.

Thats my way of doing things

This word was too cringy.

So I never thought Id say this word again.

I waved the baton concisely.

Vivace.

As expected, it was effective.

No matter how absurd it was, I never failed to notice things.

Thanks to that, I guessed it from Eunaxuss words.

Old Dragon, Eunaxus, humbly meets Claudie

I really didnt know what was going on.

Claudie and Eunaxus were acquainted.

Eunaxus even used extreme honorifics.

They were very deeply intertwined!

Thump!

Eunaxus raised his fallen body. We would like to at least greet each other, but we both knew that we didnt have time for that.

Its literally a temporary measure.

Both I and Eunaxus didnt know when the heart would stop.

So I got straight to the point.

Yes, starting with the will of the World Tree who drove her own children to death.

Actually, what Im most curious about is!

Claudie.

And the reason why the damn name existed on the Arcana Continent.

But there was a procedure to everything.

What needed to be prioritized above all else was the one who dared to make the Elder Dragon, Eunaxus, like this.

So I asked Eunaxus.

I want to know the progress of the Summoning of All Dragons.

!

He was shocked.

He seemed surprised that I knew about the Summoning of Dragons.

It was not difficult to explain the whole story.

But in such a critical situation.

I couldnt afford to explain about Skal and the class quest.

So, as always, I kept my mouth shut while maintaining my iron mask.

Thanks to that, I was able to hear the full story of the Summoning of Dragons.

So

You mean you were stabbed in the back by your own kin, the dragons?!

His dying state made sense.

Truly, the World Trees family tree.

No group was as dysfunctional as they were.

I spoke seriously.

So arrogant.

King of all things, my ass.

Not only they didnt listen to their mother.

They even stabbed the oldest brother Eunaxus who was the only filial son.

That familys situation.

There was no way Grandpels boomer spirit could tolerate that!

In that sense, I would like to ask.

Eunaxus.

What about the tingling in the back of your head?

Are you seriously not going to regret it if you close your eyes like this?

Well, no matter how effective [The Last Adventurer] was.

I knew I couldnt run to the dragon gang by myself.

That would be like hitting a rock with an egg.

I conveyed my inner intention using Grandfels way of speaking.

Are you looking down on discipline? For your information.

With the utmost audacity.

I am a supporter of corporal punishment.
