Chapter 203 – Valley of the Dragon (01)

When we appeared from the bushes, the Cylian looked surprised.

They must have been surprised to see that they came back holding hands affectionately instead of just having an argument.

“Even if I glared at you like that, you didn’t do it. How can you do that here?”

“No. That’s natural.”

Damn, if I say this, it seems like I’m the only one who’s lewd.

“This is my first time seeing that golem’s expression like that.”

“Huh?”

Even though it was just a verbal promise, it seemed to be enough for Golem No. 2.

Exciting… Exciting…

With a sound similar to a heartbeat, the perpetual motion mechanism was activated, and the output of Golem No. 2 soared to its limit.

Gooooo–!!

A total of 12 thrusters erupted from her back, and Golem No. 2, who usually stumbled while carrying me, instead of using the rope I gave her, bent her wrist and took out a towing wire.

“-Hang on-“

“Are you going to be okay?”

“-If it is printed now, you can skip right away-“

This would be better than going through all the trouble of going over the rope.

Hooking her wires around her own wrists and legs, she began to fly into the sky.

“Melissa first… Huh?”

Anyway, Melissa was flying separately, spouting fire from her boots and gloves that she had equipped herself with.

‘Could Melissa fly too?’

When Golem No. 2 treated her rudely, Melissa could have flown instead and made her way, but in her own way, she seemed to have wanted to make Golem No. 2 love me, and she didn’t show that she could do it.

“I’m so…”

“Hehe… I’m sorry.”

Since Inori has entered my shadow, I only need to attach a wire to Marian and Cylian.

“-I’m leaving-“

Quaaaaat–!!

There was concern about a forest fire because the burning wings burned the surrounding fallen leaves, but since it did not simply spew out flames, but was a residue from burning negative energy and power concentrated at high temperature and high pressure, the part it touched ended up burning cleanly, so there was no forest fire.

Piyuung-!

Golem No. 2 starts flying so fast that ordinary people would break their backs or have their mouths ripped off while hanging.

There were three people currently clinging to Golem No. 2, which was flying at high speed, including me, Cylian, and Marian. All three had superhuman-level abilities, so there was no great danger.

“Was being a golem this convenient?”

“No, Melissa Love Golem No. 2 is great.”

In the process, I had to charge it a bit…

Rather, her affection level was not easily coming down from 5.0.

The system compensation level is always around 4.0, and it would not be easy to fill more than that, but just because I promised her that I would have a child with her, her affection level was overflowing with a force that would pierce the sky.

The affection that Golem No. 2 has not shared with Melissa.

‘A created soul…Is it the same?’

It was a complicated thing.

In the original Celestial Academy, Golem No. 2, who now has a more clumsy body, did not say that she wanted to be human.

Since it was created to replace Melissa, it just lives in place of Melissa.

However, the current Golem No. 2 is even more greedy, and often gets angry and picks fights with the Golem Queen.

He was showing a different personality from Melissa, who was his creator and who were originally supposed to be one.

‘The two of them together are not one heroine, but now… They are one heroine to each other.’

* ​ * ​ *

Originally, I thought that the power output I had assumed would gradually decrease after going over the cliff, but Golem No. 2’s Love Guru seems to be deeper than I thought. Instead of crossing the broken bridge, it doesn’t end, but flies straight to the village of the dragon slayer where Seri is waiting.

Only now did Golem No. 2’s output begin to drop and its affection level went down to 4.0. Although it was a bit overheated and was emitting steam from its body, when I held its hand, its affection level went up again, so I felt like I needed to control it.

Easy profit-!

Cylian and Marian release the wire and jump off Golem No. 2, which is hovering in the air.

Pak!

“Ahh! My knees!”

The Cylian complained that his knees were sore from jumping from a pretty high position, but he responded that he was quite relaxed just saying that.

Of course, I was able to come down more comfortably because Golem No. 2 held me by hand and lowered me down.

Following the seri’s signal, we found a ladder made of rope built between cliffs in a split valley, and in between, huts with only roofs and walls.

It was a village of dragon slayers.

However, in the past, the world where dragons were active and the dragon slayers who trained their human bodies to hunt dragons to fight them are no longer present.

Nowadays, most people focus on hunting drakes, which are close to the dragon race or dragon race.

Even now, most of them have left without being able to utilize their characteristics and settled in nearby villages, so the existing Dragon Slayer Village has now become a training ground for clans with the [Dragon Slayer] Characteristic.

Kay was there now.

“Uh, so…”

The public servant who greeted us at the entrance, waving his hand his, looked pale for some reason.

“What happened on the way?”

The tax collector shook his head in response to Marian’s question, but seemed reluctant to enter the village for some reason.

“Your Majesty.”

“Sailian.”

“Okay, Cylian… Wouldn’t it be better if we called here rather than going inside…”

“What do you think? We are visitors, so we should go inside.”

At Sailian’s words, Seri pulled Melissa’s sleeve behind her as if she had said all she had to say. Melissa thought for a moment and then followed me inside.

As we went inside, we could see why Seri tried to stop us.

The moment I entered the village, I couldn’t come to my senses due to the fishy smell that spread out, but the biggest shock of all was the sight that unfolded here.

Pow! Puck!

“This is… The dragon slayer’s village?”

Melissa’s complexion turns pale.

Chunks of meat, slightly exaggerated, the size of houses, connected by chains and hanging in various places.

It’s not human. Just looking at its size and structure, it looks like a huge lizard… It’s probably the meat of a wyvern or drake.

The sight of scales and skin peeling off and blood dripping was so bizarre that it was so unrealistic that it didn’t even feel cruel.

Red blood was flowing down the deep furrow. Looking at this, I could guess what it means to say that blood forms a river.

It’s more like a stream than a river, but it’s amazing that blood flows like that.

“Wow…”

Perhaps because the fishy, ​​cold blood characteristic of cold-blooded animals was flowing like a stream, Melissa was retreating behind her with an expression of disgust on her face.

In the end, they followed the tax collector outside, but Melissa, who already had a weak stomach, couldn’t help but be unfamiliar with this kind of scene.

Well, the sight of blood, flesh, and bones lying around like this was quite distressing to the rest of the party, except for swordsmen like Marian and Sailian, who were accustomed to such things.

Kei, who was chopping up a huge wyvern while holding a huge greatsword, or rather a butcher sword with an ax-like head and a long handle, looked more like a butcher slaughtering a huge meat than a warrior.

“Kay!”

Kay, who heard Cylian’s voice, had no reaction.

She wondered if she was having trouble hearing the sounds inside her and tried to go inside, but everyone looked like they didn’t want to go.

“K.”

When I called out using my ‘voice’, Kay flinched and looked around her before swinging the huge butcher knife again.

Snap.

The Cylian called out to Kay, waving her hand as she went down to the floor soaked in her blood.

“Keiy!! It’s been a while, dude!!”

Kay’s pupils begin to widen as Cylian, who deliberately steps in front of her, swings her arm to attract her attention.

“Sailian. Are you alive!!?”

Oh, but why is your voice so loud? It’s almost like a lion’s hooves?

* ​ * ​ *

Since the other group members were having a hard time, we came out and were able to clearly see Kay’s current attire.

Her apron wrapped around her her body she was splattered with blood, and there were pieces of meat and intestines that appeared to be wyverns stuck here and there, and a thick bloody smell that could not be hidden was flowing from her body her.

Since that blood and flesh wasn’t human, Marian was looking quite distressed, and since I was in adult mode, it was also difficult for me, who has a sensitive sense of smell.

‘Rather, a sensitive sense of smell means you adapt quickly.’

However, because her nose soon became numb, I was able to meet and talk with Kay for the first time in a long time.

“What? I can’t hear you clearly!”

“Why did your voice get so loud?”

“Because I have bad hearing! I can’t control the sound!!”

When I asked what happened, Kay said that after her academy collapsed, she went to see teacher Heidi, and she had already gathered other soldiers and stormed into the duke faction’s territory to rescue her.

She tried to stop Kay or follow her, but she had already left and she couldn’t follow her because she didn’t have the ability to track her.

‘Perhaps, judging by the fact that we haven’t heard any news so far…’

“He must have passed away. Probably.”

Kei was talking calmly, as if she had some idea.

Then, not knowing what to do, they returned to their hometown. Fortunately, their hometown was not caught up in a rebellion, but everyone had become ordinary farmers without retaining their [Dragon Slayer] Characteristics.

It is said that Kay also used his strength to farm, but as the Duke faction’s front line got closer and closer, the land began to strangely become desolate. Farming did not go well, so he began to use his special skills to hunt Drakes and Wyverns.

At first, he hunted with the help of his grandfather, who knew the art, but after the grandfather passed away due to illness, he hunted wyverns and drakes alone in the Dragon Slayer’s Village and brought the meat back to the village to feed them.

And in the process, it is said that he almost went deaf as he kept hearing the wyvern’s cries and Drake’s screams.

‘What can I say…’

I was expecting a dramatic story, but when I heard that he was wandering around because he had trouble finding a job, he took over the family business.
