We Live in Dragon’s Peak

Darkness and shadow.

Attributes of a similar and different nature.

I can't even describe two attributes correctly. Darkness and shadows are as similar as that.

However, I was able to affirm clearly that even if it was similar, it was clearly different.

Even at night, a slight moonlight produces a shadow. On the contrary, even if it is a dark night without a light source as it is now, shadows are reflected in the eyes that look into the darkness at night.

Even darkness is dyed, shadow.

But darkness is not inferior to shadows.

Shadows cannot exist without places of light and objects that produce shadows, but there is darkness everywhere.

Just because the sun sets, the world is covered in darkness, and there is darkness in the depths of people's hearts.

So, clearly, you can't sequence which is higher and which is lower.

Still, there is a clear difference, and it is darkness and shadow that separate the proof of existence.

If you describe two attributes that are similar and different in general colors, they both become "black".

Whether it's darkness or shadow, the color that comes to mind is "black" and the nature is "evil".

Well, because it's dark at the opposite end of the light, it's evil, and because it's the shadow behind the bright thing, I can't really say black. But still, the common symbol is that darkness and shadow are "black" and "evil".

And Nimia says.

"Shadow dragons are bad dragons!

Nimia, who read my thoughts, blew her wings in a hurry. [M]

Yes, Shadow Dragon.

An ancient species of dragon clan with shadow attributes.

Like Old Sligsta and Nimia, it is a terrifying dragon with the ability to far exceed the ordinary dragon clan, and it manipulates black forces like Lily of the Dark Attribute.

To put it further, at least one shadow dragon is currently asleep deep in the cave at Dragon Peak.

"But it's not that shadow dragon, is it?

"Nnnhh!

At the end of my fifteen-year-old journey. When I came down from Dragon Peak, I went into the cave to rescue a family adventurer named the Stylers. I encountered a shadow dragon, an ancient species of dragon clan.

But the Shadow Dragon was just trying to get into a long sleep.

To grow into a dragon, I just lurked in the back of the cave to sleep for decades.

So, if things are going well, the Shadow Dragon we encountered will be sleeping deep in the cave.

In that case, even if the Shadow Dragon is a bad dragon, we can't take Mistral or Sefina away.

In the first place, it's impossible to take Mistral away without the power to resist me.

"But we already know the Shadow Dragon...."

Hah, everybody's face is strong.

A little while ago.

At the Dragon Hunting Ground, we intercepted the Devil King.

At that time, Nimia asked for support from the ancient city to kick out demons and monsters.

Seven colorful ancient species of dragon tribes flew us all the way to the dragon hunting grounds.

And among them was the Shadow Dragon.

Shadow Dragon, Argildal.

An exterior stretched over a wide area to protect the ancient city. The ancient dragon clan that protects its outermost species is said to be the Shadow Dragon.

Argildal is an ancient species of dragon that protects its outermost exterior, and Nimia is known as the "bad dragon."

Instead of the ancient city, even those approaching the exterior were mercilessly attacked, and many people were sacrificed.

The Shadow Dragon is Argildal.

I slipped my mouth at a banquet after I crushed the Devil King and told him about the Shadow Dragon's child sleeping on the Dragon Peak. Then he told me to check in and take a different course from the Asher boys on their way back to Dragon Peak.

It hasn't been that long since then. Then it is highly likely that Argildar is still at the Dragon Peak.

And if it is an ancient species of dragon clan and an Argirdal of shadow dragons who freely manipulate the shadows, even the Mistral of the Dragon Princess may be able to take them away without difficulty.

"Oh, no way...."

Louisaine opened her eyes wide and was stunned.

"Immediately after entering the sinus, Louisaine's eyes reacted. Could it be that the dragon eye was reacting in front of the magic eye? React to the remnants of the dragon spirit when Argildar took Mistral away."

Louisaine's eyes are sensitive now.

So, perhaps the dragon's eyes reacted to the slightest residue of dragon vibe.

"Indeed, just before my eyes hurt, I felt like I saw a dragon temper for a moment.... but why did you take Mr. Mist and Mr. Cefina, even if it was Argirdal's crime?

"I don't know about that either...."

Suppose Argirdal took Mistral and Sefina. Unfortunately, however, I am unable to find the motive for the crime.

Why were they targeted?

Maybe it's not just the two of us, but my whole family. But I still don't know why they're after me.

"Still, Argirdal the Shadow Dragon is the most suspicious perpetrator, right?

Suppose you used shadows instead of darkness.

No matter how much Mistral or Sephina breathes and spends the night, the shadow remains. You should be able to sneak out of that shadow, drag it into the shadow and take it away.

Even Lily, a child of the Dark Dragon, was able to move freely from darkness to darkness. Then, if Argirdal, an ancient species of dragon clan that protects the ancient city, should be able to easily move the shadow and drag the subject inside the shadow.

Moreover, if you drag into the shadow, the narrow entrance of the tree hole does not matter, and there is no trace of resistance.

"I wonder if the identity of the" darkness "that robbed the spirits of their sight was actually the influence of the" shadow "? Look, when Argirdal was fighting at the Dragon Hunting Ground, he was dragging demons and monsters into it, spreading their shadows like fog, or dark darkness.

It was Argirdal who produced the fog of shadows that blocked all light and relentlessly killed the demons and monsters that were in range.

Likewise, the spirits cast a shadow on their sights and concealed the crime scene.

"If it were an ancient species of dragon clan, it might have enough power to affect the spirits that aren't revealed."

"Lyla is right. We still do not know the strength of the ancient dragon clans. At the very least, if it is similar to Sligsta-sama, even if it is not revealed, we may be able to deprive the spirits of their sight."

"Moving from shadow to shadow is comparable to space transfer. It will prove that they were both taken away at the same time."

"If it's the same ancient dragon clan, we might be able to catch Sligster's eye. If it's a well-prepared crime, it's too late."

"And, yes. Wasn't the night's crime to mislead us into darkness and shadow?"

Assuming it was the Shadow Dragon Argirdal, several mysteries can be solved.

"I knew it was suspicious!

Yeah, everybody nods.

"There is only circumstantial evidence, there is no physical evidence. I don't know the motive. I don't know why Mistral and Sephina were targeted first. Still, Argildal is the most suspicious!

Then we have a deal. [M]

"Perhaps Argirdal is in a cave where the Shadow Dragon's cubs sleep. Let's go there!

"Yan. Aren't you going back to Moss Square?

It's already night.

In the world where darkness reigns at night, the Shadow Dragon's "Shadow" may be mixed with darkness to increase its influence even more.

But that's why we can't just leave Mistral and Cefina alone and go back to safety.

And if Argildar moves from shadow to shadow and drags into shadow without any time to resist, it may not be safe anywhere, day or night.

Over there, if the crime is revealed, it may come upon us relentlessly.

Then, instead of retreating to the safety zone, we'll get in from here!

And get Mistral and Cefina out of here as soon as possible!

I wave my fist out before the dark as if I were determined. [M]

Then everyone's hands lay on my fist. [M]

"If I were an ancient species of dragon clan, my dragon eyes might help."

I agree with Ernie.

"A bad dragon is a punishment."

A sermon for a bad dragon.

"I don't think Asher and Nimia are the same guardian dragons. This is a witch's head, and I have to scold her very hard."

Finally, Nimia jumped onto the fist of our determination and snorted bravely.

Argirdal may be watching us through the shadows.

So, this is a declaration of war.

"I'm going in now, so you're washing your neck and waiting!

Jump into space on the back of the giant Nimia.

Nimia winged and flew to tear apart the sky of the Dragon Peak ruled by darkness.

Nimia, who put us on board, flies over Dragon Peak at high speed.

Normally, Nimia is passive about scary fights. She seems angry this time around.

A dragon defending the same ancient city worked evil in a different region. Besides, he's the one I brought.

It's only natural to be angry.

"Nyan. I'll punish you and report it to my mother."

"Let Raya know and scold me severely."

Nyah

The Shadow Dragon Argirdal has a great deal of gratitude for the Demon King Crusade. But that's not what I was told.

For whatever reason, I won't forgive you if you come after my family!

I will not hesitate to confront the dragon clan of the ancient species, even if it was my opponent.

Tonight, the view of the flowing starry sky did not seem beautiful.

Instead, I want to get to Argirdal's lurking cave and rescue Mistral and Sephina as soon as possible.

"Nyah. After all, Argildal-sama was at Dragon Peak!

"Elnea, you can see a strong dragon spirit!

"Everybody, be alert!

Cross a complex mountain ridge and approach your destination.

Nimia quickly picked up signs of Argirdal. And before anyone else, we see the dragon spirit spreading black in Louisaine.

"After all, you've been waiting for us. That's the proof of Mistral and Sephina's abduction!

Soon, we began to see the anomaly of the Dragon Peak. [M]

There was an unnatural black fog spreading deep in the mountains.

There was definitely a cave where the Shadow Dragon cubs slept.

Nimia slows down and flies alert to the black fog.

"Be careful. Behind the fog of shadows is not the territory of the dragon. Besides, the shadow is on me."

"Is the shadow on you?

Just after I tried to get Nimia to know what I meant. The fog of black shadows was stupid, as if it were the will, and came at us.

And we were swallowed by the shadow of Argildar.
