Chapter 20: I am strong (6)

Dragons that went extinct about 300 years ago…

Most people had only seen Dragons in pictures. They had heard the legend-like stories of the Dragons’ overbearing powers.

People had imagined… They had imagined how a real Dragon would be like.

“…Ha!”

Zero felt chills in his arms.

The power that had shot up around the entrance of the Imperial Palace a few days ago…

The person responsible for it was said to have created a white-bone dragon.

Zero looked up at the sky.

“…It’s amazing.”

Although it was only bones, this almost ten meter long bone dragon gave off the feeling that it was a real dragon.

It was doing that despite not being real.

‘It is not hard to simply make a large skeleton monster.’

But how similar it was to a living creature…

The amount of control in it and the endless supply of power from the main body… A necromancer’s power made the bones seem as if they were alive.

That was why the necromancers were called the Sovereigns of the Dead.

They were the only ones capable of making the remains of the dead move once again.

That glorious power…

“…You-”

Zero turned his gaze to look at the person who created this large Bone Dragon.

‘Heni Wishrop.’

Zero recalled her name in his mind as he asked.

“You- are strong?”

Zero then saw Heni Wishrop’s purple eyes turn to look at him.

She calmly spoke as if she was saying something completely obvious.

“I am strong.”

Her tone didn’t have any feeling of doubt or bluffing. Her tone was completely certain.

She was showing full belief in her own abilities.

Furthermore, her subordinates behind her were looking at her with indifferent gazes as if this was obvious.

“Ha!”

‘How entertaining.’

“Ha, hahaha-!”

‘This test truly is entertaining. And it will probably continue to be entertaining.’

“Grrrrrrr-!”

However, he could not remain in his thoughts.

The black mud monsters started roaring after seeing the white bone dragon. It sounded as if something annoying had appeared.

“…Let’s quickly take care of them.”

The Second Imperial Princess must have snapped back from being dazed by the bone dragon as she spoke for the first time in a long while and pulled up her sleeves.

‘Oh.’

Cale could see a white whip that was wrapped around her arm. That whip was made of multiple equal-sized small bone pieces.

The whip was very thin. It meant that the bone pieces were very small. They were each only the size of a fingernail.

However, they were wrapped all over her arm. He could not see the end of it from just the part of her arm that was revealed.
