Come to think of it…
“How did they make the unique dragon tool?”
I asked the store owner because for some reason my curiosity was peaked.
“I am not entirely sure. Probably the unique dragon tool was the result of a compilation of a dragon tool craftsman’s lifework. Is the feeling I get from it and there are a lot of items like that. There are many cases where even the person who crafted the tool can’t reproduce it.”
“So, it’s like a one-of-a-kind masterpiece?”
“That is an interesting comparison. But it is as you say.”
The store owner smiled as he agreed with my comparison.
“It does seem to be unique, but I wonder if you know of rare items.”
“What is the item like?”
“It is made from the portion of a dragon’s body.”
“A portion of a dragon’s body?”
“That’s right, the things called Dragon Vectors will eat it—”
“Something like a Phoenix Horn?”
I listened to what the store owner had to say then remembered something. I remembered that the Phoenix Horn, was made of a portion of a dragon’s body, and it had been made from Chris’s bones.
“Close, but not quite. It is “special” and surpasses that power and does not have a threshold. Therefore, it is called the “Ritual Tool”.”
“Oh.”
As I thought. Certainly, the Phoenix Horn was special.
“But, well. The gist is the same. The body of a dragon has a certain amount of power. It is a rare dragon tool that is skillfully processed. Of course, not all dragons are suitable for this so that is why there is not a lot of them.”
“I see.”
“There are many who also use the husk of a dragon egg.”
“The husk?!”
“It is not that surprising. Human beings also use the human placenta for processing medicine, right? It is the same thing. The husk of the dragon egg protects the dragon because it is a special part of the dragon’s body.”
“…Thank you, you have been very helpful.”
I said the shop owner, motioned for Colette, and together we exited the store. After we had left the store, I started walking fast. Colette followed behind me.
“What is wrong all of a sudden?”
“Rhea.”
“What happened to the rare dragon tool?”
“Not rare, Rhea. The Rhea that is living with us.”
“Oh, that is a bit confusing. What about the child?”
“I left that child’s egg husk behind at the place of her birth. She is an original Balour species and probably came from a master dragon egg.”
“?!”
“I have a feeling about something. I want to recover it.”
“Let’s go back!”
“Yeah.”
With Colette, I quickly left Saint Simon and started down the path to return to Parsolon.
☆☆☆
We hurried along the way and ended up returning near to Parsolon in two-thirds of the time that it took to leave it. Instead of returning directly to Parsolon, we went to Mount Himyar.
It was the mountain where he had saved the princess and Rhea. They entered the mountain and relying on their memory they started down the road.
“It’s up ahead isn’t it.”
“Yes, if we turn here…wait.”
I held out my hand and stopped. Next to me Colette also stopped walking.
“What is the matter?”
“…there is something there.”
“What?”
I cautiously looked down the road. I didn’t know what it was but there was something there.
“Colette wait here.”
“I will also-“
“There might be a fight.”
“!!”
Colette gulped and took a deep breath. She was at a loss for words when she heard there might be a fight. The Mushushu type was not a fighting type.
Colette’s personality in other circumstances would come in handy during combat but unfortunately, she was a Mushushu type. I couldn’t take her to see the reality of battle and she knew that.
“…I will make Dragon Balls and from where I am so they can be delivered quickly.”
“Thank you.”
Colette understood well, and in an instant found her own position. After I stroked Colette’s head, I took a deep breath then moved forward on my own.
I continued around the corner.
Then, I went into the open space where the Rhea’s egg and the claw had fallen.
There was something there. It was a small animal the size of a rabbit and it was next to the egg husk. It was devouring the egg husk.
“You are eating it…” I muttered as I wondered what I should do.
The small animal the size of a bunny began to change. From inside its body a black aura came out, its body began to swell like it was transforming.
“What is that…”
“I’m sure it is a Dragon Vector.”
A little bit behind me, Colette called in a loud voice. Dragon Vector…[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
“Yes, those things called Dragon Vectors will eat it—”
I was surprised. I had listened to the words of the shopkeeper, but I had hastily interrupted him before he could finish. Surely what he meant to say after had to do with eating, processing, and then turning what was eaten into something powerful.
The words that were said matched the situation playing out in front of me. I wasn’t entirely sure it was exactly the case, but I was convinced.
I was convinced but what should I do. I was troubled, and I realized that eating Rhea’s egg was able to transform. While the creature’s back was towards me its neck turned and its face turned to me.
Its eyes—were bloodshot red and burning. At that moment, I felt its shining eyes were brimming with hostility.
“!!”
I immediately crossed my arms in a guarded position. In the next moment, a strong force came flying at me and hit my guard.
“Ugh!”
My guard was blown away and I was pushed back a couple of paces.
“Cyril?!”
“I’m okay!”
My guard had been blown away and I had been knocked back a few steps and I needed to look at the battle from a different angle. I looked around so I could get a grasp on the situation I was in.
When it had transformed it had become roughly the same size as a human, cloaked in a black arura, glaring at me from a tree that was dozens of meters away. It remained hostile.
But…that seemed to be all I concluded. I was surprised at its speed, but it only broke my guard and knocked me back a few paces.
If that was the case. I jumped up and muttered, “transform”.
I transformed into my Dragon Born form. If it came down to speed I would not lose, as a dragon born, he had absorbed the ability of the original Balour type’s claws, he wouldn’t lose. The power of the transformation should be overwhelming. That is what I thought.
“Ugh! Too fast!”
It was faster than I had expected. I thought I had jumped and transformed, but I was caught mid-landing and I was forced to make a change of direction. Which turned me around.
I attempted to turn around fast in a split decision, but it was too fast, and by the time I turned around it was gone. Then it hit me with its body’s speed momentum.
“Agh!”
I unintentionally bit my tongue.
The power of the attack was not as powerful as I had suspected. Directly after the attack, the arm that had guarded against it was numb, but after the transformation, it did not bother me anymore.
With this difference, I could win 120%.
“Agh!”
The transformation immediately unraveled, and I was left kneeling. After all, it really wasn’t useful for the long haul. My Dragon Born form could only be sustained for a few seconds, at most 10 seconds.
“Cyril!”
Colette called out to me, created a dragon ball, and flew it over to me. I took it and immediately I felt it surge through me and all my energy was recovered.
After I continued to take a guard position. I would cross my arms and form my body into a shell. My opponent was hitting me from all sides at tremendous speeds.
Every time I was staggered, I felt a sharp pain in my body. If it kept up at this rate—
“Agh!”
“Cyril!”
Colette screamed. My shoulder was burning with pain. The only thing it could do was get my shoulder and I had been bitten. It was the type of bite that took out huge chunks of flesh. Blood splattered everywhere and the white of my bone could be seen.
“…We got to run away.”
“O-okay. You’re okay.”
“I’m okay.”
I said, as I pushed Colette forward. I followed behind her keeping the enemies’ attacks at bay while we retreated.
There were only a few seconds left in the dragon transformation. I had to make a move to ensure we escaped. As I thought this I continued to be pushed down.
As I continued to be pushed down, I came to the mountain peak where I had found the princess. Just then an electric current ran through my mind.
“Colette! Run to Parsolon with all your might! Don’t look back!”
“What are you going to do?!”
“I’ll be fine, just go!”
“Stupid!!”
I don’t know why she cursed at me, but she began to run away. She was a Mushushu type, so she wasn’t a super-fast runner but faster than a human. She ran like that down the mountain path.
After a while I was convinced, the enemy was solely interested in me and leaped.
I jumped off the cliff. I remembered the princess’s carriage falling down the cliff. My enemy followed me through the air.
Perhaps it was because it accelerated, and even though I jumped first it was catching up to me. Then we were both falling through the air.
“…transform”
Just as I was about to hit the ground I transformed. If I had hit the ground in my human form I could have been seriously injured or even dead. But in my Dragon Born form, I was completely fine and even was able to jump back up with the momentum of the recoil.
The fallen enemy also jumped up. I moved towards the enemy. It counterattacked.
“Weak.”
The counterattack was only halfhearted. I blocked it and cocked back my right fist. It was inevitable.
Its speed was faster than mine. Like the Balour original species, they did not have the ability to fly. And no matter how fast it was it couldn’t change direction midair.
My fist stabbed into its left cheek and blew it away.
“Maybe I did too much…”
It jumped up, lost momentum, then fell to the ground. I laughed bitterly at the corpse that had fallen before me.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
