Chapter 292: A Spear and a s.h.i.+eld, into the Eye of the Hurricane (3)

Black dragon.

One of the dragon races born from Askalifa, the dimension of dragons, who was a unique bunch that lived across other dimensions instead of Askalifa. They were dimensional vagrants who caused the most number of problems all over different worlds.

In addition, they were also the dragon race who had died the most to Yu Jitae.

Therefore, after confirming that the one in front of his eyes was a black dragon, and after hearing it use the expression nemesis towards him, Yu Jitae felt countless questions clogging his mind.

To the point that he didnt know what he had to ask first.

Your nemesis I have no idea what you mean.

[No idea?]

The dragon mentally replied to him.

His first doubt was its purple eyes.

What is there to dislike.

The woman he coincidentally met at the store that sold Wyvernips, Myu. And a black dragon with the same-coloured eyes who was at the Tower of Mages, the same location as her.

There appeared to be a big correlation there.

Because of that, Yu Jitae tested the dragon out.

Were you that dissatisfied with me buying the last Wyvernip?

[No.]

And the dragon casually replied to him.

[But why wouldnt I call a human that will now try to steal my home a nemesis?]

Myu replied and the authenticity hanging on the [Eyes of Equilibrium (SS)] was true.

It was soon followed by laughter.

[How woefully unfortunate was I? It was such a good day that I went outside and yet I just had to come across an a.s.sociation guy]

The dragon nonchalantly confessed that it was Q.

There was a small inevitability within the coincidence Yu Jitae had gone there for the dragons and that was why he came across another dragon.

You probably know well, but I will confirm it before we begin with the official affairs. I am the a.s.sociations Grade 5 agent, Season.

[I have heard many stories about you already, Prophet Season.]

Did you hear from Edrei?

[Indeed.]

I will now begin with the investigation as a Grade 5 agent of the a.s.sociation. I wish for your obedient cooperation. Your name.

He said that to end the unnecessary conversation.

Yu Jitae was expecting the black dragon to disobey because the black race were known for their brutality and trickery that rivalled that of the red race. He was going to use that as justification for bas.h.i.+ng up and making it open its mouth.

However, the black dragon obediently replied against his expectations.

[Myu.]

He could feel its enjoyment despite the mental communication.

It might be thinking of it as a roleplay and might be acting arrogant, but that had nothing to do with him.

Affiliation.

[An adult dragon of the black race as you can see.]

Age.

[According to this places calculation, well, I do not know. Between 300 to 1,000 years old?]

Quite young. Why are your eyes purple.

[A mutation.]

All of the above were true.

Yu Jitae was reflecting in silence on its name, face and age to think of all the black dragons he knew. Myu laughed into his mind.

[Why. Do you want the ID card again?]

It was a sarcastic comment which Yu Jitae did not bother replying to.

In the meantime, he finished his reflection.

There was no dragon called Myu out of the 27 black dragons that Yu Jitae had met across the nearby dimensions during his [Sovereign Hunt].

Why did you buy a Wyvernip.

[By the way, do you have time for a carefree investigation like this? Im sure the outside is in an uproar.]

That was something for the a.s.sociation to handle.

Just answer the question.

[Do you know anything about our race?]

If you are talking about the interdimensional incorrigible trash vagrants, I do know them very well.

It wasnt a figure of speech. In fact, every world that was inhabited by black dragons suffered from them no matter what world it was.

Unlike other races who were forced by the [Origin Fragment] to stay within Askalifa as much as possible after becoming adults, the black race had no such a thing. They would continue wreaking havoc across different dimensions even after becoming an adult.

It seemed that the dragon wasnt very content with Yu Jitaes expression. The voice of the black dragon ringing his mind turned sharp.

[Watch your words regarding me and my race.]

Did I say anything wrong?

[I will only repeat it one last time. Watch your mouth before I truly consider you my nemesis and rip you to death.]

The black dragon quietly revealed its fury. Yu Jitae gazed back into the purple eyes in silence as Myu added after a short silence.

[I have bought the Wyvernip because I like its scent. I smelled it for the first time after coming to Earth and realised it soothes my emotions.]

Your emotions?

[I have long wanted to resemble humans. I was unable to be like one from birth but I can act like one for a bit so long as I have the scent of the Wyvernip.]

Its authenticity on the Eyes of Equilibrium was true.

It seemed that it had bought the flower for purely controlling its emotions. It was a surprise that the black dragons that always hated everything could calm down from the simple scent of a flower.

How did you crawl in here.

Second doubt.

A black dragon had never been on Earth until the 7th iteration, and its not like he had affected the outside dimensions in any way. The only variable in this iteration was the [Great Hostility], but Vintage Clock wasnt giving him any warnings regarding it.

[It was by coincidence that I came in. Following the disjoint of dimensions.]

A dimensional disjoint? When was it.

[This is my 5th spring according to the calculating methods of this land.]

5 years. It meant that the dimensional disjoint it went through was around the same time as the baby dragons. This too was true according to the Eyes of Equilibrium.

Explain it in more detail, so I can understand.

[It is nothing much. We are the only race that can freely move between dimensions and so am I. I was caught up by mistake during my journey and ended up here.]

Did you come alone?

[Have you ever seen the black race travel with someone else?]

He did, and thus the question.

So. Yes or no.

[I have come alone.]

Yu Jitae stood still and thought to himself.

Out of his three doubts, he asked two and heard its response.

1. The black dragon was Myu.

2. It was brought in due to the variable of the 7th iteration.

And the third doubt.

You must now follow me to the a.s.sociation. For instigating armed Anti-a.s.sociation movements and illegal protests, responsiblity for 57,000 murder cases and illegal smuggling of weapons.

[Will you be locking up a dragon somewhere?]

Well see. It will depend on your response.

Yu Jitae slowly walked forward while adding pressure to the surrounding air. The 72nd floor, expanded with an interdimensional spell, was as large as two football fields but the sound of his boots trampling the blades echoed across the entire room.

Be prudent with answering this question. Your life and death will depend on your response.

Releasing his killing intent, Yu Jitae asked with a lower voice. His irritation about all the things that had annoyed him over the past six months was mixed into the question.

Why did you antagonise the a.s.sociation as Q,

Clomp

Why did you lead the Anti-a.s.sociation terrorist group Quasar,

Clomp

Why did you drive a wedge between G12 and other nations and the a.s.sociation.

Clomp

Why did you educate young kids into suicide bombers of Quasar; kill the young grandson of Christoph

Clomp

Why did you rip the top rankers of the world that tried to stop you. Why did you shoot the Downfall and why did you render the mages of the Tower into this state.

His footsteps stopped in front of the large feet of the black dragon. Gazing up at the ceiling, he increased his killing intent, thinking of slas.h.i.+ng its ankles off first if he were to be met with a brainless response.

But what came back was something he had never expected. Myus laughter began to ring his mind.

[My Nemesis. You sure are asking the weirdest questions.]

What?

[Are you telling me I did all that? Really?]

Yu Jitae frowned.

[Look. So I have become this individual called Q to antagonise the a.s.sociation, summon the Quasar and nurture young humans, kill a child I do not know with a bomb, kill high rankers and pierced every one of the mages in this tower by hand? Me, this lazy and n.o.ble dragon? What kind of dragon would live such a diligent life?]

[It has been 5 years since Ive placed my feet on this land. We are a race that roams freely but there is also the wish to settle in one place inside of us. I was the same. And thus I looked for various beings who had the same scent as I do. Yes, including those humans who you refer to as demons.]

The black dragon opened its wings out wide.

[Build me a house. I requested them.]

By house, do you mean this nest?

[At the start it was built out of plank. They wanted a negotiation. Being a nice black dragon, I looked into what their desires were. Its nothing difficult. Dragons can read others memories and emotions. Do you know what they wanted? Something very obvious they wanted power.]

[By nature, humans become stronger by forming a society. And it is easier to group with a common enemy in mind. There happened to be everyone all around who hated the a.s.sociation, you see.]

[So I helped those who had the same goal meet and become closer. So that they could lend each other help. And then I was sought after by more humans, each from different groups.]

Groups?

Yu Jitae squinted his eyes.

[Where do you think I would have met Edrei? That human was in an Anti-a.s.sociation group behind the curtains in the first place. Because he hated Chaliovan. Its the same for these mages over here you know? They voluntarily became the sacrifice. Give me a place and materials to build my nest and I will help with the research, I told them, and they wanted me to use themselves for it.]

[Going back to your question; did I antagonise the a.s.sociation as Q? Did I ma.s.sacre young children? Carry out terrorist attacks? Stab mages with blades for my nest? Shoot the Downfall?]

[Well I have no clue, because I didnt do any one of them. Ive never been this Q person that you guys were blabbering about!]

It said with a lamenting voice as if it was being falsely accused, and yet there was a hint of laughter in between.

Q is an illusion. Thats what Myu was saying.

[I merely gave them a sword.]

[The rest is what the humans did.]

After finis.h.i.+ng her words, Myu was unable to stop herself from laughing uncontrollably.

It was a rather disheartening response.

Naturally, the authenticity shown by the [Eyes of Equilibrium] was true.

It meant that the grave of Wings of Snow Light was robbed by someone else, and also meant that shooting the Downfall was due to the personal choice of someone in Mexico done in order to protect Myu who would be at the Tower of Mages.

[After painstakingly working for 5 years, I barely managed to create my nest but you have come here riding on the back of the a.s.sociation, and you will now try to take my house away. You are therefore my nemesis.]

Everytime, it was like this.

No-one knew how the centre of a hurricane agitating the oceans and disturbing the earth would look.

Yu Jitae gave a nod. Everything Myu said was true and thanks to that emotionless explanation, it made him a little bit more certain that Myu had nothing to do with [Hostility].

It was nothing to be surprised about but in any case, it was also true that she had quickened the flow of the entire world subconsciously.

I see. That is the end of my questions.

[Is that so? If all your questions are cleared, how about we carry out a deal?]

A deal?

[Tell me anything you want and I will listen. But in return, please do not touch my nest. I will move to a quiet and secluded area so dont find me either.]

I cant allow that.

[What?]

He got the answers he needed and it was now time to finish what he had to do.

Sorry but I cannot let you go.
