32 – I am here (3)

[…]

Han’s mother lay face down as if she were dead.

At first glance, it looked as if it had already stopped breathing.

I never did.

Whoop-. Woo woo-.

This is because the heavy abdomen was rhythmically rhythmic, repeating inhalation and exhalation with a certain rhythm.

With each breath she exhaled, her silvery-white scales shimmered like jewels.

The former guardian dragon, Calliope.

This aged entity with that name.

I had already been in such a deep sleep for a long time and endured it alone.

I should have died decades ago, but I still have one final task to do on this earth.

In order to fulfill that task, they gave birth to new young dragons every time, but none reached the Jackie Chan safely.

The proof of that statement was as follows.

It was no different from the fact that all the other guardian dragons other than her who had already been born after that had all met their deaths.

Some dragons died because of human greed, and some dragons died because they couldn’t come out of their eggs.

What other dragons are-.

He died while trying to fulfill his role as a guardian dragon against the demons that came out of the barrier.

Even for a dragon with such a long life and enormous power, it couldn’t always be strong from birth to death.

In its young age, it is inevitably weak like any other life form.

It was a natural rule since I was born on this earth.

The ordeal given to the guardian dragon is so high that most of the young dragons die at the time of hatchling without ever growing up.

Only a handful of dragons survived, possessing heavenly luck and an indomitable spirit that did not give up.

But now, all those deadlines have been cut off.

This time, she squeezed out her last energy and gave birth to a new guardian dragon, Han. Finally, her Calliope had no more energy left.

All that remains is to wait for death to come slowly…

But at some point.

Calliope, who had been exhaling quietly and regularly, stopped breathing.

Flash.

Instead. Calliope’s eyes opened.

[…]

Calliope.

On the day he woke up, the dragon’s pupils quickly glanced left and right.

Koo-goo-.

She raised the huge torso. It was so gigantic that it seemed to fill this vast cave just by raising its head.

[Kururu-.]

Calliope glared at the outside of the cave.

I felt it from somewhere.

This feeling. This nasty, nasty stench.

There is no doubt that this is a high-ranking demon.

But there was also the familiar energy of the dragon.

A small and unattractive aura. But I’m not used to it.

Then this must be Han, the young hatchling she gave birth to.

To-do-duk.

Let Calliope raise her body.

Blood like thick water dripped from the disfigured wound.

That long red bust was a wound inflicted by another tribe of demons encountered decades ago in this polar region.

Calliope had already entered the phase of disintegration of the body, but she had to move.

He was an opponent whose power alone was not enough to stop him.

* * * *

As for the existence of demons, he also knew.

I also knew they were dangerous.

But. But…

‘Isn’t this too much to do?!’

Koo-goo-!

A dark demon.

Rising above that bastard’s head was a blazing crimson sun.

The sun. A really small sun was up.

It was funny that it was that devil who called it.

A single creature can create a burning sun with its own power? Was such a nonsensical thing even possible?

Even the heat that came through was unusual.

I was just staring blankly at him with his head raised, but the heat on his face wasn’t normal.

That’s really the sun.

[Kurrureu-!]

That moment.

The black demon looked down at the humans on the ground below and lowered his hands.

Koo-goo-.

Then the large sun began to fall toward the ground with an unusual sound.

[Key-!]

A surprised Han raised his eyes.

That red-blooded thing was getting closer in an instant.

At the same time, the heat also started to heat up quickly.

His tail stood up at the sight of the horror. The embarrassment was evident.

[Guardian Dragon!]

At that time, there was someone who hugged him like that.

It was none other than Lucia.

From noble mtl dot com

[Lucia! Take the guardian dragon and avoid it, hurry!]

At that time, there were people who, far from thinking of avoiding, ran toward the falling sun.

It was Lucrezia and Garcion, butlers.

As the two swung their swords with their blue eyes shining, the sun that was about to collide with the ground was split in half, and the heat scattered in all directions and exploded.

Chiik-!

The surroundings were immersed in boiling high temperatures, melting all the snow and ice.

Dense steam rose up and covered the surrounding area like a pure blue fog.

‘Oh, oh, oh…’

This is not normal.

It’s not normal for a demon to shoot such nonsense, but in Han’s view, the two humans who block it right in front of their noses aren’t normal either.

The sun is so full of heat that it warms you up just by looking at it from afar.

Lucrezia was fine even after blocking it with her bare body.

It was hard to believe even after seeing it with my own eyes.

‘At a rough glance, it looked like it could easily go over hundreds of degrees, right?’

Hundreds of degrees? No I didn’t know if it would even surpass 1,000 degrees.

In fact, even now, the ground was crackling and bubbles were bubbling. It looks like the floor is melting.

At a glance, it was a ruthless figure that melted all the cold and snow of this polar region.

It was to the point where there was thick fog all around.

All of these were created by the melting of the surrounding snow.

[Kuh…!]

Lucrecia was barely standing in the middle of the seething ground, using her sword as a staff.

Standing by her side, Deacon Garcion stood firm.

Because there were more soldiers standing in the back for a while, they did their best to block his attack.

The two swords were already half melted and destroyed by the heat, and molten iron dripped dripping from the heated iron sword.

[Kwaaah!]

As if it had intuited that it was an opportunity, the demon roared fiercely and charged.

[How dare this guy!]

Suddenly!

Garcion’s head quickly swung his sword, but he easily dodged it by twisting his head.

Then he kicked his empty stomach.

Boom!

Chief Garcion was thrown to the other side without even screaming.

Lucrecia shouted at the sight of him flying away tens of meters after cutting his snow.

[The butler!]

[Kururu-.]

But thanks to that, the devil’s gaze turned to her, Lucrezia.

Her bastard groaned her black teeth, fanning her hostility at her.

[Mother!]

At that moment, Lucia threw her own sword at her.

Lucrezia grabbed the intact sword in place of her own melted sword, and slashed with all her might from left to right.

It’s a clean, perfect swordsmanship that seems as if the world has been split in half.

But ironically, the devil raised his hands and blocked the sword with the back of his forearm.

His strong forearm blocked the sword force without a single wound.

[This guy!]

An indignant Lucrezia flashed her eyes.

Boom! Damn!

How fast the skirmish between the two was, it was invisible to Han.

Like a whip rather than an arm, the attacks of the two increased like afterimages and aimed at each other.

What’s more, what’s even more ridiculous is that each time the two strike back and forth, a roaring sound as if the air is exploding fills the ears.

Sonic Boom.

Simply put, the battle between the two had already reached a level that exceeded the speed of sound.

Does human movement exceed the speed of sound?

It was an absurd sight that was hard to see in the realm of mere life.

But even so, there was only a slight scratch.

There seemed to be no fatal scars on its hard hide.

Obviously, her attacks were quick and powerful, but the problem was that even if she dodged ten attacks and struck ten times, it would only scratch him and not be lethal.

Flash!

At that moment, his eyes burned red again.

That! It must have been just before.

I was trying to call back the ridiculous sun I used before.

In fact, as he raised one arm and focused his energy, a crimson sun slowly began to form.

[I can’t let it go like that!]

In an instant, the sword of Deacon Garcion, who appeared from the side with a strong spirit, properly cut off his wrist.

It seems that the raid worked well, and it was easily cut cleanly.

[Kurrureu-!]

The look of a guy who gnashed his teeth as if he was indignant.

But even in the meantime, it seemed that he had already succeeded in gathering enough energy, and his blazing sun was clumsy.

I could feel the tremendous heat.

But that was the moment.

Quooooo!

There was a shadow falling as if falling from the sky.

A huge shadow that covers the entire sky in an instant.

Not only Han, but Lucrezia and everyone reflexively looked up.

‘That, that’s…!’

As soon as he confirmed his identity, he opened his mouth in surprise.

Damn it!

‘It’ just slams to the ground! As he fell down, he bit and chewed the devil as it was.

Puong!

The guy who was concentrating his energy while expanding the small sun.

He exploded inside the mouth of the giant dragon that chewed and swallowed him and exploded.

Pushwook-.

The scarlet smoke that was so distinct that it was clear.

It seeped through the crevices of the huge dragon’s teeth that clenched his jaws tightly.

[Kiii-…]

With that ignorant figure.

Han simply opened his mouth and looked up at the gigantic being standing in front of him.

I never thought I would chew such a ignorant guy in one bite.

He even summoned the ridiculous sun, but he swallowed it all together casually.

‘Is the stomach after swallowing that okay?’

While Han was thinking such silly thoughts.

Slowly.

The eyes of the huge dragon that swallowed the devil as it were turned towards Han.

Lucia, who was looking up at that gigantic being, suddenly muttered involuntarily.

[The former guardian dragon, Calliope…]

Calliope.

I knew that name to the limit. It was impossible not to know.

I once heard Archduke Lucrezia muttering as she looked down at him.

Perhaps it was the name of Han, the mother who gave birth to him.

[…]

Then Han looked up at the gigantic dragon with slightly new eyes this time.

His mouth opened and did not know how to close.

‘This terrifying dragon is my mother?’
