What the hell!

Solvent reached out. A wave of white light swept through the pearl house's body and began to rush towards me.

But my magic triggered faster.

Hehehehehehehehehehehehehe!

A dark veil emanating from where the crumbling artifact was, covered with a flash of solvent.

Oh, shit!

Face of a solvent that bites into a panic.

That's ridiculous! If you receive an order from a god of these attributes, what should you give in return? You're crazy!

I mutter.

It's okay, it's traumatic.

The acceptance ceremony of this order through artifact is a kind of post-paid event. Unlike usual, God will only take the 'sacrifice’ after the first order has been fulfilled and the second a certain time has come. This god had great favor with me, and allowed it unusually. As a result, the power of the spell has weakened somewhat.

But in other words, if we hadn't triggered the spell forever, we wouldn't have been able to offer the sacrifice, but we would have spent it and dried it up. I was preparing for an emergency, but I didn't expect that moment so soon.

“You can't do this twice. ”

You can only trigger this order once. Recharging is also required for the time being.

As a dragon, I have to believe that the individual before my eyes, called the dragon, is the strongest dragon in the world.

We must hope that we will not be able to mobilize this kind of means in the future. Of course, if the Savior's soul is found in the solvent, it is a gold coin and the best scenario.

While I was thinking about it, the darkness covered everything I could see.

* * *

Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The rough-winged young dragon, Lucsetaiga, was in a state of extreme frenzy.

He pierces the enemy floor and soars into the air. Lightning pierced the prickly wings, but I didn't care. Even if the moisture grains in the clouds hit the skin, the powerful body protected by magic did not perceive it as pain.

Finally, Rising Elegantly above the clouds, Russetaiga felt that the density of the atmosphere was much lighter. Reaching an environment with less air resistance, he began to fly with much greater horsepower than ever before.

Hey, hey, hey!

Wind rips widely from the tip of the wing. The destination was the nest of solvents.

“What the hell is going on? ”

It was originally intended to turn around on advice and go to eat humans from other regions. It was one enlightenment that led him to turn his head back toward the nest of solvents. As he continued his dialogue with Chin Grimes, he spoke before the conclusions he had drawn at the end of each other's reasoning.

“A hundred decades of memory gone?! ”

He roared once again in anger.

The two young dragons, who realized that each other's conversations were constantly staggering, eventually found their cause. Russetaiga lost his memory of the fishing fleet for 120 years.

“The oldest time is 120 years ago, so I'm guessing that the fact is that the memories of the past might have disappeared even longer! ”

Russet and Grime had a big fight with each other 120 years ago and then they broke up (Grime only understood why he called himself 'The Child'), and he said he had not said a word to each other until today, just as the nature of the dragon's head is. Of course, it was an event that I do not remember at all from the Lucette point of view.

It's awkward. Ten fires rose. Remember me!

I didn't think I'd be this angry to lose any treasure I cared about. If you lose a gem or artifact, you can find it or create it again. How the hell am I supposed to find a lost memory?

“No, in the first place, how can it be erased like this? It's unusual. We need to discuss this with the solvent! ”

Grimes did not hesitate to help after confirming this strange phenomenon. Why don't you talk to the solvent later? ’All I said was a short word. It was a lazy response. In the first place, Russet did not expect anything more.

It was then.

“Huh?”

Russet wanted to see if something was wrong even from his point of view at the moment. I dream of my eyes a few times. Nevertheless, the surrounding landscape has not changed.

“· · · Why did it get dark? ”

It was still a long time before night came. It wasn't because it was flying over the clouds that the day was cloudy. Nevertheless, the surroundings were darkened as if the night had come.

“What the hell is that? ”

Russet witnessed one more strange sight. He could distinguish the saturation of the night now. A whirlpool, such as the darkness, which is supposed to be the source of darkness, existed on the side of the direction he was heading. It was the other side of the solvent nest.

It's as if the darkness that extends from the destination slowly encroaches on the surrounding space.

Hey, Grimes, what is this? Are you watching the same scene?

Grimes' reply came back in time.

· · · I've been returning some communications, but they're all messed up. The whole planet seems to be at night now. Regardless of the contact surface of the sunlight, the entire star is visible.

Russet is ridiculous.

Is that nonsense?!

That's ridiculous, but it's happening now.

Have you contacted the solvent? I think this darkness started at the nest of solvents. He's not answering my communications right now!

Neither do I. By the way, where the hell are you?

· · · Well, it looks like your nest has already passed. Just a little further, it's a nest of solvents.

What, you're already there? Are you going to ignore the solvent's recommendation?

In the present situation, it seemed that Russet was the dragon that approached the nest of solvents the most. Russetaiga insisted on the dragon down mindset and the way he behaved, that no matter what the circumstances of the solvent, his situation was more urgent. He protested.

It's more urgent to tell my story! And there's something wrong with this. Maybe it has something to do with my memory loss!

· · · Well, it's your situation. Do whatever you want. I'll make it clear that I've communicated the solvent to you.

Grimes' chaotic reaction ended and communications were cut. I don't want to get involved anymore.

Russet lamented in his heart and sped up. I could not follow the advice of the solvent. It was an emergency. If you don't respond to a magic communication, you should face to face to explain the situation and discuss how to deal with it.

All of a sudden, until the sky became dark, perhaps everything was a sign of a new breed of demon infiltration. A response from the racial level is needed. Russet prepared the reason why the solvent should help him.

I was about to accelerate even more.

“· · · mm? ”

Lusset's eyes glide through the sky with a blurred light. It happened as soon as his body entered the area corresponding to the center of darkness.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Consult the dragon quietly.

Where was I going?

What was at the end of this direction?

Why was I flying so fast?

Even as he asked his inner questions, his body stepped forward toward the nest of solvents, the center of darkness. The more I approached the place, the farther Lucet's consciousness went.

He asks the question again.

By the way, who was I?

“Hahaha! ”

Russetaiga suddenly regained consciousness, exhaling in a rush.

There was some change before it was completely encroached upon by the strange energy. I feel like what's inside has helped me. I felt like someone could endure a situation I couldn't handle alone and get over it together.

“· · · It must be a mistake. What the hell is this? ”

The dragon pauses in the air and looks around. It is quite close to the nest of solvents, so the saturation of darkness has darkened to its limits, and the vision has already lost its meaning. However, Russeteiga tried to replace his senses with magic. It was not perfect, but I could recognize the surroundings.

It seemed like something big happened to the nest of solvents when I saw the situation. Due to the nature of the dragons that everyone knew, Russet, who knew clearly that there was not a single people to ask for help, thought he should quickly check the state of the solvent.

Even in the darkness, where he was never seen before, he began flying again. I had to wander back and forth several times because of the darkness that disturbed my senses.

But not once, it was encroached upon again.

* * *

The solvent was in the dark. It was somewhere like a deep, unconscious mogul.

There was nothing in sight. He looked around with horsepower, but he stopped doing it. Because I forgot why I should do it.

After stopping exploring with magic power, all you can recognize is your own body. He perceived his arm with a touch. And I was confused as to whether this was the true accessory of the flesh. The primate's forearm looked very close to itself and felt incredibly far away.

"The forearm of primates"? ’

Solvent realized the contradiction.

‘I'm not a monkey. I'm a great race. · · · By the way, what is my name? ’

Under the depths of consciousness, the answer emerged as rich.

The honorable dragon that bears Igoney's name.

‘But why do my forearms look like weak, vulgar primates? ’

I couldn't understand. I couldn't remember.

‘Yes, this sensation is not my body. Let's go back to our original body. ’

The solvent lifts the enchantment around you. Though invisible, his body was returning to its original gigantic and great shape. I still feel in a close and distant heterogeneity. Featuring intimidating claws, firm scales, long, beautiful necks and elegant wings.

‘Yes, I am a dragon. ’

Tejahigong. The one who carries out the glorious mission of protecting the peoples of this world.

The dragon is powerful but awesome. Pride and pride never try to expose one another to the weaknesses of a high subject. Conflicts between peoples are frequent because they do not want to bend their will. Since the dragon first appeared in this world with the ‘Root Stone’, the nature of the people has only deteriorated.

According to the old proverb, it wasn't like this from the beginning. Over the years, the dragon's ego became sharp and angled, independent and vigilant, and has always turned itself into a top priority.

The consequences of the accident change and the solvent murmurs as if pledged.

‘I must lead my people. ’

In this world where there is no race to confront dragons, the most frequent sign of dragon death in history is the war between the first and the invading Demons in the other world, and the second is genocide.

Solvent became the source of unity against the Demons after the Great War, renovated Ramming to increase the chances of survival of the people, and mediated disputes between dragons.

‘Yes, the solvent protects the dragon. ’

If a dragon is killed, it was also a good thing for all nations to stand up and take revenge or punish it. Without this kind of compulsion, in the past, the Demons would have been extinct, whether they had eaten dragons or not. If you look at the nature of the dragon's head, it's still the same.

Tejahigonu recalls a long proverb passed on only to the solvent.

‘The solvent protects the people who have begun to stand alone in this world and contributes to bringing the imperfect species to completion. ’

What is Standing Alone? Before that, who was with our people? And what does it mean that a great race like ours is still incomplete?

It was a riddle-filled proverb, but the endless solvents have always seriously explored the subject.

After the accident, the solvent asks a question again on the empty interior. By the way, I think I found a good research topic. Something that might be a valuable resource for our kind!

But I didn't think.

What was I supposed to do now?

No, I think we should start with this.

· · · By the way, what was my name?

Quajijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijii!

It was the sound of something ripping and bursting that disturbed the dragon's mind. The sound was quickly concealed back into the darkness. The solvent had just forgotten that he had heard it.

The dragon focuses on the sense of his body that he feels now. · · · Huh? It seems that something has changed.

I can't feel the presence of the right wing that I just recognized before. I left the problem close and far away and had no sense at all.

‘But what does that matter? ’

Solvent felt sleepy. The consciousness is dull and slow, and everything feels annoying.

· · · So what was my name?

No, I got it.

It didn't seem like such a big deal anyway.

* * *

Heh heh!

I stole the sweat on my forehead.

Now I am aware of things around me with magical power, even in the dark. I, the caster of the spell, am the only one who maintains the right reason in the most condensed darkness of the 'center of the night’. Even the scroll called the fragment of the Savior has lost the power that gave me to hold my body, and I have tied the tentacles well to my waist dance.

I quickly finished cutting the right wing of the solvent, though calmly.

Kukung!

The wings fall to the ground with a loud sound. But even the vibrations and sounds were quickly buried in the darkness.

I sense the surroundings. The pearl house that lost itself in the darkness stands with a bruised face. The solvent returned to its original body was no different. Because of my magic, one of my wings has just been cut off, staring into the air with a blind eye, even though the blood is flowing like a river.

Even if you look like that, you're just in a state of chaos while you're still conscious, because the mental barrier isn't completely gone. Make sure it's for the sake of differentiation.

I stole the place with the broken necklace by hand. Even after the artifact was triggered, this dense darkness continues to spread out into the world like a mist, like a wave, like a large sea.

I recite the name of the god who cast this terrible spell. The god of dangerous attributes who deliberately had to charge objects, namely artifacts, because the act of receiving his spells on his body was also dangerous. God who had to beg for God's favor by lowering the power of the spell in order to postpone the sacrifice as much as possible.

Rufedos. Sincerely, ‘everlasting night. ’

Darkness hides and hides everything. Those who enter this magical realm are swallowed up by the darkness with God's attributes. The black veil hides even their selves, and those who lose themselves turn into living bodies, paralyzed by memories, senses, and reason.

Argh! Argh!

I continue to dismantle the dragon. It wasn't a good job. It is a body that maintains its firmness due to its inherent lack of horsepower. At least it was possible because there was no conscious resistance.

I cut off two wings of solvent, four legs, and a tail according to an efficient east line. In front of my eyes, there was a strange body that looked like a wooden neck. Other creatures will soon die of bleeding, but the strong body of the dragon will endure for a long time.

“That should be enough. ”

Now it's time to distinguish souls.

Summon the Demons here now and you will be caught in the effects of the spell. Instead of eating away the dragon's magic power, it will lose its purpose and flow like iron water on the floor. You must first restrain the body of solvent in the darkness, then release this spell and summon the Demon to the final stage. That will distinguish the soul of the solvent whose mental barrier has fallen.

But this land is not a ready hunting ground. The Magic Force of Redemption is not here. The magic of restraint, unwittingly inflicted on a solvent opponent, risked easily destroying the spell as soon as the darkness disappeared. However, moving this massive body to where the enchanted camp is located is also constrained.

So what do we do?

The answer was simple. If you can't magically restrain your actions, cut off the body parts you need to move in advance. by choosing an area that doesn't die.

“After the darkness retreats, the pain prevents you from countering with magic, and the path that the Demons can easily penetrate your body. ”

I decided to know that the dragon clan is a body that doesn't listen to recovery magic. Therefore, this work is now aimed at making the re-use of solvents difficult for the time being, even after differentiation.

This dragon, it's too dangerous. Even now, I could not guarantee victory or defeat if I only fought with physical firepower.

“Now, shall we go? ”

It's time to bring Soul Sensei, Garam. When I'm ready, I float into the sky with the solvent and the pearl house here. Now that I didn't have to care about the solvent, I flew wide open and moved.
