Again, but nothing is the same {Slow Update}

Chapter 20: Hold on!

With the help of Raon, the children and Cale along with 3 elves and Pendrick returned to the destroyed lair of the ancient dragon.

- I need your elementals to find the ancient dragon.

- Of course!

The elves who couldn't believe their eyes responded immediately and gave the order to their elementals.

"Please find Eruhaben-nim"

Dragons are extremely proud creatures that would never dare run away from battle, they prefer death to humiliation. However, Cale knows that Eruhaben is someway different, in his last years of life, his greatest wish is to have a beautiful death and for his essence to return to nature without a trace, Eruhaben knows that a dragon that is killed turns into flesh and bones. So, Cale hopes that Eruhaben has decided to flee when he learned that he could not defeat the white star and his people, Cale continues to cling to that hope.

Time passes and there is still no news of the golden dragon, for his part, Cale used almost all his power in the fire of destruction and now the vitality of his heart has problems to make him recover, his chest hurts and the blood that It came out of his mouth still fresh, his state is in decline to the point that Raon's thermal magic does not seem to be working, although it is not.

The elementals return one by one with no good news, Cale begins to lose himself in despair. Then the last elemental arrives.

-The elemental says that there seems to be someone in the north forest down the hill, but his energy is very weak so he cannot tell if he is a dragon.

- The ubication! Please give us the location!

At the scene, Cale rushed to confirm the identity of the person who had found the elemental, then he stopped in shock. A man with long golden hair lay in snow crimson from spilled blood. He was breathing, it was great news, but Cale couldn't help but feel extremely tormented, his pierced side continued to bleed and his body was covered with not so minor injuries, it was evident that he barely had any life left.

-... So... you have come to kill me bastard... knowing that I will die in such a pitiful way is not anything worthy of a dragon... I-

- Eruhaben-nim!

Eruhaben, addressed Cale with the wrong judgment that it was the white star and planned to attack him with the last of his energy. His essence was similar and his hair color was identical, but then Cale came closer and he could see it, his eyes were completely different.

The eyes of the bastard who tried to kill him looked empty and tired, devoid of any feeling and life. But these eyes that look at him now have so many emotions, these eyes that are on the verge of tears express anger, pain, sadness, fear, guilt and even affection. How can two people so similar and opposite exist?

- How interesting.

With a half-smile, Eruhaben closes his eyes and hears the frantic scream of this person who for some reason knows his name.

"Eruhaben! Hold on! Pendrick!"

The elves who had been petrified of bewilderment by what they were seeing, returned to their senses after hearing Cale's shouts, Pendrick, crying for the state of the great being, immediately approached the dragon and began to use his healing powers, Cale also took out healing potions that he had acquired in previous days and gave them to Eruhaben to drink.

After Pendrick used all his power and Cale gave him all his potions, Eruhaben's breathing seemed more stable, so they took him to the elves' village where they would continue to supply him with more potions and Pendrick would rest a bit to continue healing him.

Lying in the garden next to the branch of the world tree, Eruhaben remains unconscious, Cale is sitting next to him supplying potions given by the elves every so often until his countenance improved slightly. Cale grabs Eruhaben's wrist delicately as if fearing to hurt him and takes his pulse that is still weak, suddenly he feels the Dragon's hand release from his grip to hold his hand tightly.

- Aren't you scared? Even in this state I can kill you in the blink of an eye.

Despite the abrupt movement and threatening tone, Cale did not panic, instead an expression filled with relief showed on his face. When Cale's heart was finally able to relax, the exhaustion and pain that he has been intentionally ignoring overwhelmed his weak body, without a gram of energy, Cale loses consciousness and falls on the dragon.

- This...

The ancient dragon could not believe this situation, but there were many things that troubled him about this human, so he did nothing to hurt him and instead accommodated him to his side, at that moment he heard the erratic voice of some children and turned his head to see two cats and a small dragon were rapidly approaching with food.

- What happened to my human?!

- Are- are he okay?! Nya

- He didn't take at least one of the potions, Nya.

The little dragon approached Cale and inspected him.

- It looks very bad, is this why I can never leave him alone for a minute? I must take him to that healing elf.

-He's just exhausted, if you let him rest, he'll wake up soon.

Eruhaben replied.

- Goldie, you are a friend of my human.

- Did you call me Goldie? And why would I be friends with a human?

- So, what are you from him?

- What are you talking about kid? It is obvious that I do not know this or another human.

The ancient dragon and the little dragon looked confused.

- But my human really wanted to save you! I had never seen him so sad since I met him!

- Child, why do you keep calling him my human? Why would you associate with a human?

- I hate humans! but my human is different, my human has given me many things!

- For a dragon to depend on a human.

- He also saves you, unfriendly old man!

- Ho! I have never been treated like this by a younger dragon.

- I was thinking of sharing my human if you were his friend, but I see that there is no point.

Obviously annoyed, Raon used his magic and pushed Cale away from Eruhaben by at least 4 meters, then he lay down on Cale's side with his back to Eruhaben, the cats did the same.

- It seems nobody is too old to experience new things.

The ancient dragon saw the event incredulous.
