chapter 39

Gnoss, you better quickly explain to me what this is all about. Although I've already decided to go along with it, I think I deserve a proper explanation.'

I spoke to Gnoss as I followed behind the Dwarves.

'It's no big deal, you just have to defeat the owner of this mountain range. Just a catching a small lizard is all....'

'If you're calling a dragon a small lizard, then I'll just go ahead and bury this gem in some godforsaken land where no one will ever find you.'

'Well... ok it might be medium sized and look a bit like a dragon... ha ha... but please don't bury me! Don't worry I'll lend a hand when it comes to defeating it.'

I was little bit worried about facing a dragon, but I regained my confidence when I remembered I had already slain one.

"King of the Pit, from here on out just the two of us can proceed, your attendants will have to wait outside."

"Stay here Arin."

Leaving my insects behind, we walked into the chamber. The gate we had just crossed was sturdy and one meter thick iron, not at all inspiring confidence. The passage led to a decent sized terrace, overlooking a huge hollowed out chamber, the size of my Pit. Under us was boiling lake of black magma.

"Valenor!"

Inor cried out loudly.

Kugu-kugu-ku!

From the beneath the pool of lava emerged a silvery snout, the size of a house.

'Gnoss you really tricked me this time around, that's definitely a dragon right?'

'It appears to have grown up a bit, in my defense it wasn't nearly as big last time around!'

Gnoss' response was disappointing, but I kept calm and trying to ignore the dragon's enormous size, deciding to focus on it's Status page only to go pale with fright.

I couldn't help but doubt my own eyes, this was the strongest monster I had ever met. After encountering Soleste, I had been wondering what monsters ranked B or higher might look like, but I was already regretting my curiosity.

'Hey Gnoss, that's not the creature I'm supposed to defeat right?'

'Well... I had promised the Dwarf King to send a champion to defeat the dragon Valenor. Likewise Valenor had been waiting for a worthy adversary... and so this contract was formed.'

'So that's what this whole Valenor promise was about.'

"Sorry about that, I never expected that in just 100 years it would grow to be this strong. Last I remember it was barely C rank...'

'Wait what, you've been trapped in that gem for over 100 years! All you informations is so outdated, I'm now destined to die from this silver dragon before even facing off against the Elves.'

"Have you called Inor? It's been at least 20 years."

The dragon's entire head rose up from the magma in order to speak to us face to face. Although its voice was much softer than one expected from such a large creature, the entire hall still shook when it spoke.
