Chapter 7 (2/2)

In the first place, Lushen thought it was an exaggerated legend and did not know if it was true that the dragon could turn a continent into dust in no time if it wanted to, but it would not be just a false legend.

Because all legends are based on truth.

To think it’s such a scary dragon, but it’s still a little child.

Lushen, who thought he could take enough now, lifted Sigmund with both hands.

“Don’t!”

Sigmund looked angrily at him, who suddenly lifted him up. He didn’t see Sigmund’s cheeks puffing tight.

Sigmund, with his lips clenched and his cheeks inflated, grasped his waist tightly and opened his tight-lipped mouth towards Lushen, who walked to where the horse was.

It was then.

“I told you not to!”

“Argh!”

As soon as Sigmund shouted out, pushing out the air he had in his cheek, the knights in the position screamed out.

“Ahhhhhh!”

Flames spew out of Sigmund’s mouth.1

They were at loss.

An immensely hot flame hit Lushen’s face, who was holding Sigmund’s waist.

It was a hot fire that was completely different from the usual, as if the flesh would melt away by the touch.

“Ahhhhh!”

Screaming, Lushen let go of the hand that was holding Sigmund’s waist, and Sigmund’s body flew straight up.

This was the first time Lushen experienced such flame in his life.

There have been times when they fought in flames while going to war, but the flames emitted by Sigmund were not compatible with such fires.

Is this the kind of fire in hell?

Lushen screamed, covering his face with his hand.

“The baron caught fire!”

“Put off the fire!”

“Fire!”

“Get the water! No, the outer garment…!”

Lushen covers his face with both hands.

He faltered back on the ground and screamed in anguish, and the knights scrambled to put out the fire on his face.

Taking off the cape on his shoulder, they tried to put out the fire on his face and looked up at Sigmund, who flew high into the sky while the knights were flustered.

“Hah, hah. “

Flapping his wings in the sky, Sigmund tried to exhale the flames again. But no matter how hard he try, the flames are even worse.

However, there was no more fire. Apparently, there was a huge fire a little while ago, but now there was no flame, not even a small one.

“Ha, Ha!”

He sucked the wind into his mouth and spew it out, and a small flame came out but soon snapped.

“There’s no more fire.”

But he found something new. Not only can he fly in the sky, but he can also shoot fire.

That’s a strong enough fire to defeat the bad guys.

“I should brag to Adele.”4

What’s good about being able to give off fire?

“From now on, I’ll light the fireplace and burn the trash.”1

Sigmund knew that Adele’s face was covered with ash from blowing wind with her mouth when she lit the fire on the fireplace every day. But it won’t happen from tomorrow.

He can blow fire with his mouth.

“There’s a lot to brag about to Adele. I flew in the sky, I blew fire, and… And…”

Sigmund looked down.

The body of the wolf was down there.

“I saw a big dog, too. I should brag. Adele has never seen a dog that big.”

Calling the wolf a big dog, Sigmund flew towards the house, not the village.

Because he forgot his resolution to go to the village and get some pretty clothes.

None of the knights cared about Sigmund’s flight. This is because it was urgent to save Lushen in front of them.

After flapping the cape, the fire on Lushen’s face went out.

When the fire was barely extinguished, a groan of anguish flowed from Lushen’s fingers, covering his face with both hands.

The knights quickly put out the fire, but already his hair were all burnt.

It’s not just his hair that’s burnt. His flesh was as if it melted in the terrible flames, and his head, ears, and face were completely disfigured.1

But it was Grand Duke Ernest who made him more afraid than the pain of the burn on his face.

If the Grand Duke found out that he had missed the dragon, he would be furious, but he didn’t know how to handle it.

Lushen shuddered.

The first dragon he met also aroused fear in him. He didn’t know dragons were like that. Even now, it is terrifying, but how much fear will its existence bring if it becomes an adult Dragons? Maybe the last 300 years without dragons were a blessing.

It was clear that nothing would stop it now that such a thing had awakened from the egg after three hundred years. There is no such thing as an emperor who rules a kingdom, but a beast that exterminates it.

“Uh, uh…”

…It was a miracle that he survived. At the extreme fear that he had never experienced before, Lushen trembled with fear more than pain. But the fearsome being has only just woken up.

About ten days now. Then how much more difficult will it be in the future? Is the emperor a blessing or a disaster? Does Grand Duke Ernest  know that dragons are such beings?

The Grand Duke is a man who helps the emperor through the kingdom. In other words, the Grand Duke must have the ability to control the emperor.

Will Ernest have the ability to control that fearsome dragon? Until now, Lushen had never doubted Ernest Gunther’s ability, his mana, or his power. But now fear has aroused suspicion.

On this land, is there really something that can control that?1

That was the source of Lushen’s fear.
