Chapter 71:

Demonic Dragon Nagev.

She was a Blue Dragon born two thousand years in the past, who couldn’t resist her curiosity, and tried to look at the demon world. She was captured by one of many Archduke Demon, and have become subjected to varied experiments, after which brainwashed.

If she have been an grownup dragon, she may need ended her life earlier than that occurred, however at the moment, she was nonetheless a younger being who hadn’t but left her mother and father’ embrace.

Over the course of a whole lot of years, torture and bodily experiments fully shattered the thoughts of the younger hatchling, and as a substitute of being a Blue Dragon, she was reborn as ‘Demonic Dragon’. Utilizing her immense energy to kill the mages and elders who experimented on her, she was reborn as a Archduke Demon.

After all, to Philip, she was simply one of many bosses that handed by like a month-to-month occasion, however to the folks of this world, she was nothing in need of a supply of concern.

‘It’s solely tough to make the mandatory preparations, however when you do it, it’s not that tough. Elseyus stated he stabbed her again as soon as? I feel I do know why Demonic Dragon was weakened within the recreation.’

She was a really clichéd boss.

“If my physique have been full, you’d be nothing…”

She left strains like that and was then defeated as a typical villain.

Philip, who had a robust curiosity in world-building, tried to gather as a lot data as potential within the recreation, so he knew virtually all the things about her.

Her physique was weakened by somebody, and even that alone was a problem for Philip.

‘Elseyus. You saved the world as soon as.’

He despatched a respectful gaze to the evil spirit in entrance of him.

Within the recreation, you might maintain difficult even if you happen to died, however Elseyus was the one who succeeded in reaching her weaknesses on the primary try.

“… Didn’t I let you know earlier than? The demon warlocks and liches of the underworld selected a approach to corrupt the Dragon Coronary heart, you see. That methodology used solely one of many scales on her physique which was closest to the Dragon Coronary heart as a catalyst imbued with excessive sorcery and darkish magic.”

As Philip continued to clarify, Privia stared at him, expressing doubt.

“Is that even potential? Only one scale corrupts the Dragon Coronary heart?”

“No. It’s not only one scale. Due to that one scale, all of the mana flowing by Nagev’s physique was reworked into that of the demon realm. Consider the dimensions as a sort of filter. It’s like the alternative of turning undrinkable water into ingesting water, you see.”

“…?”

Feeling the reason was inadequate, Philip paused for a second to discover a appropriate analogy. It wasn’t as a result of Privia was dumb; she had simply by no means heard the phrase ‘filter’ earlier than.

“Let’s consider the Dragon Coronary heart as a large lake. Pouring a cartload of manure into that lake wouldn’t make the lake emit a foul odor, wouldn’t it? If left alone, it will decompose and disappear by itself. However if you happen to have been to do it daily, a cartload at a time, for 100 years?”

“… Proper. That might work if performed that approach. Truly, that is likely to be the one approach. Until the dragon willingly embraced corruption and accepted sorcery.”

After ending her pondering, Privia abruptly narrowed her eyes.

“And also you… no.”

Philip met her gaze and trembled barely. If she hadn’t misunderstood Philip and attacked him a number of occasions earlier than, issues may need been awkward proper now.

After all, it was potential as a result of Privia was a dragon with a way of honor.

“Because of this it’s higher to be upfront. So, is there something that may change? Even when it actually was a weak spot, if we couldn’t do something about it ourselves, the mage used us and our brethren as mere check topics. Isn’t that nearly as good as betrayal?”

“Properly… so, what I imply is…”

Philip cautiously interjected as he thought of Elseyus’ rebuttal.

“The ability of the elves may need been barely weaker than the Sage Areola’s expectations….”

“What did you say?”

Seeing the clouds returning to the briefly cleared sky, Privia turned aggravated.

“Ah, simply shut it, will you?”

“….”

Philip swiftly supplemented his rationalization.

“To be exact, we will say that Areola, the so-called ‘Nice Sage,’ solely managed to determine that a lot. He didn’t know what countermeasures have been in place for the weak spot. And, Your Excellency Elseyus, you have been partially profitable.”

As an alternative of watchtowers or fortress partitions, a number of archers have been stationed excessive up in timber within the village. A number of armed elves have been making calls for from Sentinel Urcil.

“We have to ship out scouts to verify. If there’s an issue within the outer forest, it’s possible that outsiders induced it.”

In response to the scouts’ request, Urcil nodded, wanting bewildered.

“No, that may’t be…? They wouldn’t do one thing like that. You’re misunderstanding.”

The perspective of the opposite elves was agency. Though Urcil was the chief of a scouting unit, she was nonetheless a younger elf in elven society and couldn’t drive their actions.

“However we nonetheless have an obligation to satisfy. For those who don’t give orders, we’ll need to exit and verify ourselves.”

“Let’s wait somewhat longer. If one thing actually occurred, it’d solely result in the sacrifice of 1 scouting unit. Ah, right here they’re.”

Upon recognizing the returning group, Urcil’s face brightened momentarily, then she realized that the numbers weren’t matching and her expression hardened once more.

“And the others…?”

In response to her query, Privia spoke with an irritated tone.

“It’s none of your small business. Simply step apart.”

“Sure? Oh, sure. I apologize.”

Clearly anxious, Urcil shortly stepped apart and gestured for the others to do the identical. Privia set free a small sigh and calmly nudged Philip’s aspect together with her toe.

“Why are you want this?”

“Carry me up a bit. Since I strained my physique with none relaxation, my eyes maintain closing.”

When she straightforwardly requested for assist, Philip was barely shocked and replied.

“Do you not have any intention of hiding it anymore?”

“What’s the purpose of hiding one thing from somebody who is aware of sufficient? I’ll relaxation for a second, then we will discuss later.”

Following her request, Philip lifted Privia onto his again. As his hand touched her hip, she flinched momentarily earlier than resting her chin on his shoulder, letting all the things go.

‘She should have reached the restrict of her psychological energy spewing so many abuses with a sickly physique.’

Considering of the dignity she displayed as she lowered Elseyus to mud, Philip set free a bitter chuckle.

Within the not-so-distant future, when the “oath” pledging that the dragon wouldn’t intrude within the battle between demons and people, turns into void, Privia may grow to be one of the crucial highly effective allies.

“First, I ought to let her relaxation a bit.”

For his personal sake sooner or later, it was vital for her to get better. In the event that they obtained nearer and constructed some gratitude, she may take heed to him when he requested for favors, regardless of pretending in any other case – she was a dragon who would possible comply.

“I ought to end the elixir first.”

If he have been to return to the academy, that appeared like the very first thing to do.

Philip carried her into the room used as their lodging. Contained in the room, Lisriel was already asleep, and even snored loudly.

“Rumble… Grrrr….”

Regardless of sleeping together with her mouth broad open resulting from her ailing well being, Lisriel nonetheless seemed fairly lovely. Simply her loud night breathing was a bit intense. Nonetheless, Privia got here down from Philip’s again as if it have been nothing and climbed onto the mattress.

Then, mendacity down subsequent to Lisriel, she lined Lisriel’s mouth together with her hand and closed her eyes to sleep.

“Heh… Hmm….”

Lisriel started to maneuver her limbs as if she have been having a dream of being immersed in water. Watching this, Philip held onto Janice and Lua’s shoulders.

“Let’s transfer alongside.”

Janice raised an eyebrow.

“Is it okay to go away them like that?”

With out saying something, Philip looked for his backpack to assemble the mandatory objects for Castler and Cynthia.
