Immortal Sage

Lawrence was harvesting herbs away from the inside.

Potion ingredients, poisoning… herbs taught to the dark elves inside at an early age in their native homeland.

A bunch of demons pushing like a tsunami swallowed inside, sheltering young Lawrence… and the grownups confronted the demons as they let them escape.

Dark Elves inside had made magic with medicinal herbs into a business, which could not resist the demonic herd and was wiped out.

Back in the devastated midst, Lawrence was protected by an elf who stumbled through where he was standing in despair.

The elf, named Vereda, took Lawrence back inside himself, said, 'If you want to work inside, I'll leave you,' and gave Lawrence the old, little cabin he used as a storage unit.

Lawrence, a dark elf, is treated like a slave by the elves inside...

Magic using medicinal herbs learned in my hometown, magic to protect the inside from demons...

I worked hard and learned to be useful inside the elves that protected me.

I was going to collect the herbs and build potions today, but I felt the raging magic coming from the direction of the inside.

"Ahhh... ahhh..."

At a young age behind Lawrence's brain, the sight of the inside swallowed by demons flashes back.

Lawrence rushes back inside, throwing out every cage of herbs.

So what I saw was the figure of a mighty dragon attacking the mad inside.

"Stop -!

Lawrence stands in front of the dragon as he puts up a barrier in front of the dragon that spits inside.

"Smart."

The dragon's mighty magic easily destroys the barrier of Lawrence that unfolded in front of him.

Lawrence was trying to gain time for the elves inside to escape by rolling out more barriers.

"No, get out of my way, kid!

"Already... will the demon destroy the inside!

Lawrence screams as the barrier continues to unfold.

Having lost sight of the elves inside, and confirmed that he had evacuated, Lawrence forms a spear of flame while leaving some of his magic behind in the unfolding of the barrier.

"Call me a demon!

Dragon's eyes glow.

Aim the giant flaming spear at the dragon's neck, but the dragon flatly scratches out the flaming spear with a brace.

The brace further destroys the barrier and encloses Lawrence.

"Come on!"

Lawrence multiplexed the barrier in a shape that wrapped herself around her, but she couldn't completely prevent the braces and burned Lawrence's skin.

'It's no use!

"Elf, die regretting your stupidity."

Lawrence shouts to the dragon that converges his magic.

"Even if the dragon, the top species, is the opponent... it will not be destroyed irrationally!

Lawrence also converges his magic powers to build ice walls around him.

Walls of scale and thickness unfolding before the eyes of dragons that are not normally conceivable on their own.

But the dragon's brace easily melts the ice wall and strikes Lawrence.

Lawrence blows up with severe burns all over his body, but his magic increases even more.

"You think it's unreasonable?

"Say what we did!

The dragon's eyes turn from anger to interest.

"Dark Elves... Why Dark Elves Are Inside Elves"

"My homeland was destroyed by demons. This inside... protected me from decay that was supposed to be intact.... I will not make this inside the same as my hometown!

……………

The dragon stops moving and stares at Lawrence.

"What if the elves in this house created the hordes of demons that destroyed your inner body?

"Become what..."

"You don't seem to notice anything at all..."

…………………

Suddenly confused thoughts are disturbed by dragon words.

"Did you say Veleda or something... those elves are continuing their research into creating demons to attack inside the elves that protect the world tree"

"... the world tree... does it exist? …

"And the demon that struck inside you... probably the demon that Vereda created"

"That... can't be happening!

"I am an ancient dragon. He is more at the mercy of the [mediator] of this land than of God. You think I don't know that much?

"Then... why didn't you save my hometown!

'I said [mediator]. There is no interference other than in matters affecting the world'

"So you're saying that Vereda and the others are interfering with the world?

"Protecting the world tree was chosen by us and a clan. A being that harms it is a being that rocks this world '

"Oh no..."

"Ve... vereda ~!!!"

Falling from her knees, Lawrence trembles in anger as she lays her hands on the ground.

"Ancient dragon!

"The Veredas will kill me... with this hand!

Do you want to stay out of my way?

"I... will destroy them!

Ancient dragons answer after a short thought.

"If you perish, let it perish."

………

"But... if Vereda and the others do not stop, we will destroy them. Know then that you will be destined for the same!

"If you stand in my way... even ancient dragons will perish!

"Kill me?"

"Huh... wahhhhh. Interesting... '

Ancient dragons fly to the winged sky after laughing.

"Unless it affects the world tree, the Veredas will leave you alone. Let me see what you can do."

Lawrence trembling in anger was the only thing left in the elf where the delightfully laughing ancient dragon left.
