It was an odd emotion.
The monster's now dark red eyes were only looking at Alberu, but Alberu felt himself getting calmer rather than getting scared.
'I want to take this thing down.'
He wanted to be the one to take down this monster.
No, he felt a NEED to do that.
It was an unexplainable emotion.
– Alberu-nim.
– Your highness.
Alberu heard two voices in his head at that moment.
– Alberu-nim, you will be able to defeat this Lion Dragon if I, Taerang, am with you. Please do not question Taerang's abilities. An EX-Grade weapon's capabilities are limitless. Furthermore, I am capable of bringing out the most of my strength against this Lion Dragon......
Taerang rambled on in a mechanical voice.
– Your highness. Are you drunk?
Cale just asked a short question.
Alberu's expression turned odd as soon as he heard Cale's question.
– Do you want to try taking it down alone and saying goodbye to the world?
'Man, he's speaking so viciously.'
Alberu held back a sigh. His calm emotions instantly disappeared.
He realized how stupid his thoughts had been once that calmness disappeared.
'I wanted to take this thing down alone? I wanted to take a monster down alone when I barely got an attack in thanks to two Dragons and the Dragon half-blood helping me?'
Alberu completely erased those past emotions from his mind.
He then said something in almost a sigh.
"Do I just have to die now?"
He was talking to Cale.
– ...I, Taerang, believe that I have just heard some nonsense. Proceeding to check if there are any issues with the system. The person holding this weapon cannot withdr...no, anyway, checking system.
Taerang responded with shock. Of course, it didn't sound shocked at all because of its mechanical voice.
Gulp.
Alberu subconsciously gulped. The boiling desire disappeared and as he became calm and collected... Alberu could clearly see the dark red eyes observing him.
"...Danger... Urgent variable has occurred...must...ki...ll......"
The Lion Dragon was mumbling while holding up its shield, and one corner of Alberu's lips curled up. It was slightly shaking.
"This is kind of vicious."
He called out to Cale.
"Dongsaeng. Is it okay for me to play dead now?"
– Not at all.
"Man, you talk to me so disrespectfully."
– I am a bit busy, your highness.
"...Huh?"
Alberu scoffed in disbelief.
'He's busy? I'm busy too. Listen to this extremely arrogant and disrespectful bastard!'
Alberu frowned underneath his white helmet. He then raised his arm.
Click.
The barrel of the gun was pointed toward the monster once again.
