Chapter 408: Come, It’s Dragon Slaying Time (2/2)

He listened to Ayrin’s introduction, then checked the unique decoration on Merlin’s body, and was utterly shocked by the facts.

“Creation Deva!”

“There’s actually a Creation Deva that survived!”

Seeing the round metal trinket hanging embedded at Merlin’s chest, his body uncontrollably shuddered and his voice changed.

“Creation Deva? What does that mean?”

“She’s not the clockwork war avatar of the Devil Corps, she belongs to the Creation Corps!”

“What?” Ayrin and the others were confused. They looked at Merlin, but Merlin was as quiet as ever.

“Creation Corps is a metal clockwork war avatar corps created by some ancient Draconic Scholars during the Era of the War with Dragons. Those ancient Draconic Scholars were also the earliest and best artificers during their era!” The old shaman spoke in astonishment, “Creation Corps clockwork war avatars were the strongest metal clockwork war avatars during that era. They are able to repair themselves and record all kinds of arcane skills. They also possess powerful close-range combat ability. Most importantly, these metal clockwork war avatars contain unique memory crystals, gaining the ability to learn and evolve. The more battles they experienced, the more they learn and the further their fighting ability and techniques strengthens. Even......”

“Even what?” Ayrin’s group were more and more surprised as they listened. Hearing the old shaman pause, they could not hold back their curiosity.

“It was said that some amongst them can even learn human emotions. They can possess emotions just like us.” The old shaman drew a deep breath, then slowly continued while looking at Merlin, “Those artificers called creators during that era did not seem to have created a powerful metal war machine at all. What they created is more like a new metal life form.”

“......” Ayrin, Rinloran and the others were completely speechless.

They felt that it was not nonsensical as Merlin gave them a weird feeling most of the time. Just like the initial reawakening by fighting spirit, Merlin gave them a feeling that she could think by herself and had her own emotions.

“According to records, the Devil Corps was destroyed by the Creation Corps. However, the Creation Corps also seemed to have vanished during that campaign. The battle was extremely gruesome, there were multiple corps arriving as reinforcements. Many powerful arcane masters were killed in action.” The old shaman was still astonished, “Hence, she is not a surviving war avatar under the Evil Dragon’s metal clockwork war avatar corps, she’s a survivor from the Creation Corps!”

“No wonder she did not attack us and instead fought together with us. Is it because she thinks that we are not Evil Dragon followers?” Ayrin looked at Merlin with great respect, “Merlin, you are a true brave warrior.”

“However, she is partially damaged and can’t remember much.” Chris also adored Merlin and cared about her. She described the arcane skill diagram and smoke spewing events to the old shaman.

“It might be due to her memory crystal getting damaged. That’s the most fragile part. Even if you can find such crystal which has become extinct over the history, it would be useless. Because, even if you replace a new one, it will be blank. She will no longer be the original she.” The old shaman regretfully shook his head.

“It’s alright. A true brave warrior just needs to remember the mission and bravely fight on even with broken memories!”

However, Ayrin passionately swung his fist, “Just like Chris. Although she has facial blindness and could not recognize anyone at times, as long as she fights on together with her teammates for her dream and belief, she is happy. Merlin, as long as you fight against evil together with us, you are happy, right!?”

“Right your head. Who’s so perverted like you? I want to enjoy sleeping and sunbathing if I’m free. Most importantly, the happiest would be to waive all training.” Stingham watched the battle maniac Ayrin and grumbled.

However, he and the rest opened their eyes wide in shock.

Merlin, who had stayed quiet without any reaction, nodded her head at that moment. Her silver eyes seemed to emit a different glint.

“Brave warriors, let’s go! We are slaying a dragon!”

Ayrin showed a bright smile and shouted.

“Are we really going to slay a dragon?”

Although Moss knew it was going to happen, he was still unable to believe it.

If I’m with these fellows, it really feels like we can do anything...... If we can really kill House Roland’s guardian dragon...... Mother will definitely feel proud if this news reaches St Lauren.

“These children should be fated to become legends...... The Baratheon had never feared antagonizing anyone, would they be feeling regret soon?”

The old shaman watched those youths burning with fighting spirit and revealed another pleased smile.
