Chapter 18 (1/2)
”A Phoenix?” said the soldier in a clearer and louder voice than before.
The soldier was a little doubtful of this answer, he had never heard of a creature named ”Phoenix”.
Yet it would have to be a very powerful creature if the young man in front of him could slay a dragon so easily.
Upon reflection, the soldier decided that if he returned to Dragnof's kingdom, he would try to talk to His Majesty so that he could do some research.
And at the same time, he wanted to know if he was on their side or not. Even though he strongly believed that he was, he didn't want to take the risk.
If he turned out to be an enemy, it would be a disaster he would have to warn Her Majesty about.
”Are you on our side?”
Shin was surprised by this question asked, he did not expect to receive a question like this in the state the soldier was in.
Truly admirable'.
”Right now I don't know, but I can say that I'm not on the other side.”
Shin was sure that he was not on the side of the dragons against coexistence, but he couldn't say he was on the side of Dragnof either, he was just killing the dragons for his experience.
”I guess you could say I support your opinion.”
He was not lying, Shin supported the opinion of coexistence even though he knew it would never happen, only he could support only in the shadows until the creation of the dragon slayer magic. And then when it is created, he will come out of the shadows to support Dragnof completely.
Shin's answer made the soldier's heart lighter and even very happy and excited to hear that such a powerful person was supporting them.
With Shin, their dream of coexistence and victory in this war was closer to becoming a reality.
”Thank you” Moved by Shin's response, the soldier could not help but start crying with happiness again.
If he continued like this, he would explode with happiness and dry up with all the tears he was shedding.
The soldier was really emotional and happy since he was in the presence of Shin, he didn't know why he was so peaceful.
Shin on his side had his heart softened seeing the soldier crying even though he was sweating a little to see how much the soldier was crying.
*ROAR*
*ROAR*
Angry roars could be heard behind Shin.
The soldier dried his tears to open his eyes in fear of what he had seen.
A dragon's nest was in the sky looking at them with angry eyes and bloodshot.
This scene brought a breathtaking fear into the soldier's heart.
But the soldier quickly recovered when he saw Shin's presence right in front of him.
His fear dissipated despite a slight doubt that Shin could handle so many dragons all by himself.
But he wanted to believe it.
”You should be able to leave now,” Shin said, surprising the soldier.
The soldier moved his limbs to see if he was ready to run away.
Seeing that he could move, Shin turned towards the dragons.
”Go now and go find your family,” Shin said as he walked towards the dragons.
The soldier looked at Shin's back in complete admiration.
In his eyes, Shin was a good and miraculous being, an angel who had come to free him from hell.
He shone with a magnificent green glow adding to the beauty of the image.
The image of a boy leaving to fight hundreds of dragons.
This image will remain forever in the memory of this soldier.
The soldier then rushed to his feet with more strength than usual and ran in the opposite direction to Shin.
As he ran, he turned around to shout and say the following words.
”Thank you!” With all his sincerity and thanks, he resumed his race to flee the battlefield.
Shin turned his head to check the safe departure of the soldier.
Having verified and confirmed his safe departure, he turned his head back to focus on his fight.
