--The monster bug was awakened by the heat.

There was a searing hot temperature under its feet, and its armor was emitting a sizzling sound under the heat.

Ah ah ah ah I'm going to die ah ahhhhhh!

It squealed in fear, and its six thin legs kicked wildly in the air.

"......you are noisy."

The human teenager's slightly impatient voice sounded very close by.

Immediately afterward, a terrifying pressure descended, instantly strangling the throat of the monster bug.

It froze in mid-air, staring blankly at the human in front of it.

The terrible flame was so close by, beaming silently, radiating a terrible heat into the surroundings.

Not, not burned?

Seeing that the monster bug finally stopped screaming, Shi An extinguished the dragon flame at his fingertips.

His appearance has returned to normal, except for a faint flicker of dark red light deep in the darkness of his pupils, like blazing coals, revealing some inhuman qualities.

--The memory of what just happened came like a tidal wave.

Eyes, scales, flames.

......dragon.

"--but, but all dragons are dead!" The monster bug screamed hysterically, its voice shaking and changing tone: "There aren't any fantasy species left on this continent!"

Shi An tilted his head in confusion: "I'm not dead."

"......"

The monster bug suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Twenty minutes later, Shi An finally understood the current situation of this era.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke in disbelief: "So, there are no elves now?"

"No more."

"What about the mermaids? The lich--"

"Yes, they're all gone."

Shi An's pupils trembled.

He really did not expect that after so many years, only the weakest species survived:

"How did this happen?!"

"No, I don't know." The monster bug answered cautiously.

--It already began to believe that the one in front of it might really be a dragon that had survived from ancient times:

"None of us have lived that long."

It asked with trepidation, "So......you, you're really a dragon?"

Shi An gave it a bad-tempered look.

"!" The monster bug trembled and hastily changed its wording, "No, no, I didn't mean to question your identity, just......"

"Why did you, why did you become the way you are now?"

From the inside to the outside, from the blood, bones, and skin, all are like a human smell - even if it was a powerful fantasy species, this disguise is a little too real.

These words reminded Shi An, who finally remembered the reason he had brought this bug back.

"Earlier in the banquet hall, I smelled a......smell." Shi An held down the panicked monster bug that wanted to flee, pinched it in his hand, and carefully looked it up and down. Then, he frowned and said in confusion, "......but now it's gone."
