The Adventures of Rose Hood

Chapter 29: The Second Shard

It turned out that the guy I broke the mind of was the guildmaster, however the submaster thought it was hilarious, so when he reported it, he made sure to remark how the guildmaster harassed me before I broke his mind without even touching him.

"Well, so you are here to help with the evil beast problem?"

"Yep, and these guys were sent along to kill me."

The party flinched.

"Yeah, don't worry I know you have no intention of following through."

They sighed in relief.

"Who assigned you to kill her?"

"Lolimaster."

"Who?"

"She means Darthen, sir."

"Why does she call him lolimaster?"

"Because she forced the Café Chef to release all of her slaves, so he thought to shame her in front of the whole guild by stripping her. Combined with her looking 10, she started calling him the lolimaster."

"Well, he was dumb enough to harass a dragon, I'm surprised he didn't die."

"Why does everyone assume I'm murderous just because I'm a dragon."

"Because our first impression of you is shattering the mind of the guildmaster."

"In self-defense, and besides, how was I supposed to know his mind was that weak."

"You are a mature dragon, there are very few that can stand against your aura."

"...?"

"Why are you confused?"

"I've released my aura, while in the bloodlusted stated, in front of the guard of Selethon's capital, and a lot of adventurers, not a single one of them even flinched... I think your guildmaster was just weak minded. Especially since I held back a lot."

"Ah... Well, we located the origin of the evil creatures. A dungeon, it seems to be too small for anything big, so we are assuming a maximum of legendary dungeon master."

"Unless it's a dragon."

"We doubt it's a dragon, unless you know of one of you siblings being able to summon demons."

"Pretty much all of us..."

"..."

"Goblins is the only curveball that makes me think it's not a dragon."

"Alright, so here is where it is on the map."

"That's a 10-minute walk!"

"Yes, we've been getting attacked by demons quite a lot lately."

"Hmm... Alright, let's go."

"Understood."

"Let's hunt us some demons."

We found the dungeon without any difficulty, but there was a massive influx of evil energy. I could feel it in my core.

"Rose, are you okay?"

"You can't feel that?"

"Feel what?"

"That... wrongness."

"No."

"Whatever is in this dungeon is powerful."

"Alright. Men! Be careful."

We entered and saw at the entrance a demon.

"Welcome to my dungeon. I am here to guard my summoner and the king within the dungeon."
