Chapter 490 – Dragon Building a Nest (4)
After leaving Tarla’s body to Fay, we talked about various things… Perhaps because of her mental fatigue, she fell asleep shortly afterwards.
She closed her eyes for a moment and when she opened them, it was already midnight. Or maybe it’s dawn.
When I slowly turned my head and looked around, I saw other women who were clinging to me like chewing gum, fast asleep.
I carefully twisted my body to get up so as not to wake the others. Then he quietly left the bedroom and walked around the darkened mansion.
The cold morning air. The darkness cannot be prevented even by the lights installed here and there. It was a hallway filled with silence, as if it had never been so noisy… That didn’t mean there was no one.
Just below, a worker holding a lantern was busy walking around, and as I concentrated, I could hear a lot of noise coming through the transparent curtain.
Well, is it natural that the entire punitive force that arrived late were received as guests?
I’m a bit sorry that I couldn’t do anything for the knight class, but it’s been resolved well, so I can stretch out and sleep…
The wizard fights between two dragons called the magical suzerain. They must be very excited to see the majesty, and it would not be strange for the priest to also pray all night long in gratitude for the disappearance of the last evil spirit that roamed the earth.
As there are many people awake, the employees may not be able to fall asleep and take turns working.
It’s a bit surprising that in the midst of this, they turned off the lights and even cast a silence spell so as not to disturb our rest.
As I go down the stairs giggling, several employees spot me and nod their heads. I waved my hand in response and headed down the hallway to the garden.
The pale moon illuminates the ground, and black darkness surrounds the world in a dark blue color.
Ajidahaka’s body was dismantled and placed in the inventory a long time ago, but full-scale restoration work has not yet been done, so traces of the battle remain intact.
A deep pit. The only small area in between is intact. This is the place where Tarla swung the dagger despite knowing the outcome.
I quietly looked up at the sky in a small safe zone where only one person could stand.
I know what Tarla was thinking when she swung her dagger. She can’t know. Because it’s something I’ve done over and over again.
But at the same time, it is true that it feels a little strange. Because the connection between me and Tarla wasn’t that deep.
Once when Tarla was just being created, once when they defeated the Two-Headed Giant, once when they defeated the Crooked Eunuch, and once when they met to defeat Ajidahaka.
A total of only 4 encounters. If you only calculate the time spent talking, the time will be reduced even further.
But even so, Tarla told me that she loved me and that she would not let her die even if it meant sacrificing her life.
With that passionate confession, Tarla took a place in my heart, and now that I have, I have no intention of letting her go easily…
Anyway, I’m curious because I’m curious. Why did Tarla like me? What did you see in that short meeting?
Yes. We didn’t have enough time.
Time to express each other’s feelings through language and gestures, time to feel more affection for each other, time to reveal what’s going on.
Even if all of that was lacking, it was still too much.
But it’s okay now. Not right now, but soon Fay will deliver her achievements and we will be able to meet Tarla again.
You can talk about things you haven’t said before.
… But it doesn’t change the fact that I once lost Tarla.
I still remember how I felt at that time. My vision was spinning as if I had lost my sense of direction for a moment. In the meantime, the feeling of falling is clearly felt.
The sense of urgency and helplessness gnawed at my heart and turned into a feeling of terrible loss, and thick anger and obsession filled the empty space.
This was the extent of Tarla, who I still didn’t think was completely mine. What if other women had died before her eyes?
I don’t even want to imagine it.
Well, the only evil spirit left now is the noble ruler buried underground, so it won’t become that dangerous for a while…
Still, it’s an enemy you’ll have to deal with someday. Must become stronger. At least to avoid experiencing something like this.
So, I opened the notification window that had been quietly flashing in the corner of my vision. First of all, I need to know exactly what state I am in.
Tiring!
======================
【Ajidahaka, defeat the narrow-minded usurper!】
You were once an apostle of a noble reign, but once you died, you slain the undead evil dragon Ajidahaka and its new master, the narrow-minded Usurpator, at the same time!
A traitor to humanity. A stain on a great race. Predators of their own kind. A monster drunk with power. Elder Dragon of Sin.
Tilted definition. Green-eyed monster. The owner of the coiling swamp. Mocking death. An evil spirit who carries the deadly sin of jealousy.
All of these are, respectively, a description of ajdahaka and narrow-minded usurpation, and are also decorations to praise your achievements!
Because Ajidahaka was forced to become an apostle of another god, his soul level went down one level, but with narrow-minded usurpation as his heart, his physical level went up one level. A pitiful beast in the body of a demigod.
One day, when the beast’s will is broken, narrow-minded usurpation will take its place. For a complete resurrection.
But! That doesn’t happen anymore! Because before that, I faced eternal death at your hands!
With this, the evil god’s plot to overthrow the continent of Aurelia has been crushed! There is only one thing left! There is only a noble reign that is still asleep!
All gods and mortals on earth will praise you!
… But don’t forget.
The current peace is like a harbinger of a storm. We don’t know what will happen when the first and oldest evil spirit opens his eyes.
Do your last duty before it is too late.
-All stats increase
-Increased all growable characteristics
-【Dagger of the Dragon and Lion Devouring Light】Growth
-Characteristic: Negate the side effects of Origin Return
======================
I ignored the growth in stats and characteristics because it was natural. Since the training has already been completed anyway, there won’t be any dramatic changes.
However, I can’t help but be concerned about the side effects of the dagger’s growth and return to its origin.
This time, I went beyond the power allowed for returning to the origin and forcibly called upon Fafnir’s power. In other words, a manual transformation.
I thought I must have done well because my body was fine… Did the side effects disappear as compensation? You can check the details later.
Rather, it is the growth of the dagger…
A dagger that hums happily when taken out of the inventory. I looked down at him and blurted out.
“But you haven’t done much, have you?”
Ugh?! Yes! Ugh!
A guy who vibrates violently as if he is being unfairly treated. Know. If I hadn’t had this dagger in the first place, I would have been incapacitated like Iris.
If that were the case, I wouldn’t have been a match at all. He must have immediately become a victim of elixir without even being able to fight properly.
However, for a topic with a grandiose name and options, the only thing done is to keep it in check and kill Tarla (or not).
Ugh… Yes…
The dagger vibrates timidly, as if it sensed my thoughts.
“Okay… “What is your fault?”
It seems to have some sort of spirituality, but in the end, a tool is a tool. It is a tool that has a set number of things it can do, and you cannot decide who will wield it.
Still, I need to confirm that I have become stronger.
======================
-When attacking, there is a 30% -〉 40% chance of inflicting additional light property damage.
-Critical damage increased by 500% -〉 650%
– When dealing with an evil spirit and his descendants, the additional hit probability and critical hit probability are fixed at 100%.
-Ignoring the distortion of the rules of the body
-When an additional hit is activated, the user also shares the same damage (however, this option does not apply only to Yandel Lindelheit)
======================
Hmm. Deal has gotten a little stronger. This is enough.
I patted the side of the dagger to express my hard work and put it back into my inventory.
What remains now is a return to the origins?
Tiring!
======================
【Origin Return (S) -〉 (EX)】
You have realized your origins!
A dragon in human form. That’s you.
You recognize this, you understand it, it is acknowledged by you and not you…
I was careless.
You got so close to your origin that you were swallowed up by it.
The boundary between you and your origin will gradually become thinner, and eventually it will reach a point where the distinction becomes meaningless.
Use the remaining time meaningfully.
-Elder Dragon: Fafnir can be reproduced
-All abilities increase when active
-Temporary creation of exclusive traits when activated
– Chance of receiving status abnormality: frenzy increases in proportion to activation time
-Cannot be disarmed
======================
“…”
My body trembled as a chill ran down my spine.
So, you’re saying I wasn’t supposed to come back originally? If you leave it alone, it will go crazy. Is that why I could use Breath instinctively but not Polymorph?
Although I went a little crazy, I had to manually repair the body in a cruel way. Still, isn’t this too much?
… Is not it? Since it is about changing the essence, is this much natural?
Well, anyway, that penalty is now invalid, so it doesn’t mean much.
I sighed and muttered softly.
“Ha… Status window.”
Tiring!

======================
The magic power has increased to 30, probably because the Dragon Heart has been rebuilt. It is not a heart suited to the body of a half-dragon, but an output suited to a pure-blooded dragon.
The parentheses after the physical stats are… Are these stats in dragon mode?
Considering that a dragon’s bones and scales cannot be broken by anything, but can be cut by the Sword Master’s Auror Sword, this seems like a roughly correct figure.
In fact, I can’t think of any other possibilities.
In any case, at this level, numerical growth is almost over. All that remains is enlightenment as a great wizard.
But unfortunately, I’ll have to postpone that for another time. The sun was already coming up.
Today is the day to rebuild the collapsed Yeongju Castle.
