“Fuck…! There’s no end to these crazy objects even after destroying them over and over.” How did things go so wrong? Before crossing through the portal with Green Dragon, they had been hopeful. They would take all the legacies of the dragon king, and accomplish what their mother hadn’t been able to do.
However, their dreams were crushed as soon as they entered the labyrinth. Their subordinates were scattered to who-knew-where, and when he tried to look for them, the guards and the Spartoi violently attacked. Even after destroying them…clack! Clack!
[The ‘Dragon’s Curse’ has been strengthened.]
[2nd trial: Create your own path.]
Something like black fog swirled in the air, and the fallen corpses began to rise. They pointed their swords at Tom, their appearances exactly like the Spartoi that had already fallen. The Dragon’s Curse had the vicious quality of forcing the dead to block the intruders.
“Damn it!” Tom exploded with rage and ran forward. He transformed into his real body, an ornithopod, and began to push away everything in his way. 『I’ll kill you all!』 It was of utmost importance that he found his other siblings using the crystal bead their mother had left them.
Boom! Crash. After roaming around the labyrinth for a while, Tom had gathered a few of his subordinates and found his brothers in a stone room.
『You look fantastic.』 Tom smirked at his dirt-smeared brothers incredulously. Although he wasn’t doing too well himself, his tough hide torn and bleeding, Hyall, Leesoo, and Bahratan were even worse off.
Hyall was covered in blood and gasping for breath as he leaned against a wall, while Leesoo, in his wyvern form, had lost his left wing. Bahratan seemed to be doing relatively better. He healed the others with magic, one of his eyes wrapped in bandages.
Their subordinates lay on the ground. Those who hadn’t been ripped to shreds were on their last breaths. Not a single one had made it through unscathed.
Tom licked his lips as he looked at them. One method of recovering quickly from injury was to absorb dragon blood that contained Draconic Factors. He had already eaten Triger in the past, so he knew how delicious dragon blood was. Swallowing dragon blood didn’t just heal you, it also increased your level, so you could become even closer to the Draconic species.
“Don’t think of anything foolish, Tom.” Bahratan growled, as though he could read his mind. Hyall and Leesoo looked at him with alert expressions too.
He might have been able to deal with one of them, but he couldn’t handle all three at the same time, even though they were injured. Tom was forced to take a step back. 『I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I have no plans to hurt my brothers.』
“What a load of bullshit. We’re working together because of Kalatus’ legacy, but keep in mind that it doesn’t mean we trust you.”
『OK, OK. Pushing the youngest into a corner like this is too cruel.』
‘There will be another chance.’
Tom quickly changed the subject. 『How did you all end up in this state?』 Even though they were inferior to Waltz and Tom, the three leaders of Green Dragon were powerful enough to be candidates for the next open spot among the Nine Kings.
Tom couldn’t believe that even though the three of them were working together, they were still injured so badly. And even worse, it seemed like it had been done by one person. Who had managed to defeat his brothers on his own? Had they met one of the Nine Kings?
“It’s that guy.”
『That guy?』
“Quiet. He’s coming this way.”
