Estio Volume 7
- Episode 10
You just need to get a dragon heart. If we get the dragon's power, humans will be able to rule the world on their own. Encouraged, people pointed to the black dragon, which had been cared for without leaving the world until the very end as their prey. After a while, the Loaren disappeared, and the humans raved about the group that hunted the Loaren as the hero who saved the world. It didn't matter if they really got the Dragon Heart or not.
The 'Heroes' have been saving the Black Dragon's scales and bones as loot, and Shuhanan has gone completely crazy when he saw this.
"I don't know why the great Black Clan, Loaren-sama, fell into the trap laid out by humans and couldn't resist."
While talking, Yggdrasil clasped her trembling hands tightly. It was the ugly truth that imperial history had wrapped up.
"Loaren-sama disappeared in the process, and Shuhanan, who knew about it, became very angry and started to destroy the world."
It was then that Shuhanan became a Gwangryong. He searched for a long time, but he could not find Loa Ren. If Loaren had died completely, Shuhanan would have died along with him, but since he disappeared into the darkness where he could not find it at all, Shuhanan had to cry in pain for the rest of his life.
"In the end, just before he left for the dragon realm, other dragon tribes sealed him up. It was a punishment called a chain of silence. A dragon tied to a chain would not be able to use magic or even unique abilities. The other dragon tribes chained Shuhanan in that state. I tried to tie it up and transport it to the dragon world."
Even though they were a Balaur who gave up their duties as a Adjuster, they couldn't leave the dragon in the world as it was. After sealing Shuhanan from destroying the world, the dragons tried to forcefully drag him away.
"It is said that at the last moment when the dimensional gate was closed, Shuhanan-sama forcibly broke the chain and fell from the sky."
At that time, Shuhanan was almost ready to die and broke the chain and fell. And really, until just before his death, he had to crouch in pain and cry out for a long time, exhausting his life force. A world that has been abandoned by all of its people, humans who have been cared for for the rest of their lives, but betrayed, and her companion, Loaren, who has disappeared. Everything was painful and painful for him.
"The wounds inflicted upon breaking the chain at that time were so great that now he has lost most of his powers."
As Estio heard this, he did not know how to react, so he could not open his mouth the whole time. He heard with his ears, but he couldn't get a good picture of the situation in his mind. No, he didn't want to imagine.
'In that case.'
Because he would be angry too.
Estio tried not to understand Shuhanan's situation with his head. However, there was one decisive word that made his efforts negligible.
"Actually, Shuhanan-sama is closer to death than life right now."
"......!"
Estio's calm expression changed for the first time. However, Yggdrasil, not noticing that fact, continued to speak slowly.
"The scars were so great the first time we saw him. He is dying, exhausted both physically and mentally. He hates people, but even he will soon disappear like a burning flame."
'...to die? Shuhanan?'
It was an ending I had never thought of. He thought he might have to fight Shu Hanan, but he never imagined that his vitality would soon run out. While Estio was bewildered, Yggdrasil begged with wet eyes.
"So, I beg you, forgive him for his wrath."
The saint's pure sky-blue eyes were painfully distorted. Yggdrasil put her hands together as if praying and asked Estio.
"Meet him and put an end to the madness, Estio-sama."
The long hem of his robe flew in the bitter winter wind. The saint bowed her head nodded.
"May Shuhanan-sama calm his anger and find rest."
Estio, who had heard an unexpected request, could not give an answer and looked at Saint Hebnicius and Saint with shaky eyes.
'I am.......'
I didn't come to Elysium with such deep thought. She just wanted her to meet him. After hearing from her saint Yggdrasil of the tragedy of her distant past, Shu Hanan was asked to help her quell her wrath, but she was confused as to what to do.
But one thing was certain.
'To Shuhanan, at least I have to give it to you.'
Estio thought as he felt the small beating of his heart.
'I have the heart of Loaren.'
The last dragon heart left behind by the Black Dragon Loaren, that he had, Estio wanted to convey to Shuhanan. Only then, I thought that Shuhanan would at least be able to stop his anger against Loaren.
Even if Shuhanan attacked Estio without recognizing that he was a fellow, even if there was a big fight as the saint was worried, it seemed like it had to be told.
It was at the moment when Estio opened her mouth to reveal the fact to the saint.
「……Estio……!」
Suddenly, he turned his head, startled by the thought wave that came into his head. He was the voice of Tsuki, who was connected to him as a guardian.
"Tsuki."
"Estio-sama?"
The image of a black cat that had fallen over in his mind flashed past. Balaur can instinctively feel when their guardian's condition deteriorates. He didn't feel good. Estio, who had managed to calm the roaring inside, immediately turned back and started running.
"Estio-sama! Suddenly where...!"
Kung Kung!
The startled voice of the saint and the barking of the guard dog quickly faded away. Estio rushed to the direction where he could feel Tsuki's energy. I don't know how far Hebnicius took me, but it didn't seem that far away since it was inside the Holy See anyway.
'Tsuki, please.'
Even when I closed my eyes tightly to shake off the anxiety, the blurry afterimage in my head did not disappear.
Red blood was dripping from the body of the fallen black cat.
"......Dangerous......."
Don't come, Estio.
Finally, Tsuki's voice was no longer heard.

Meanwhile, the conflict zone in the northern part of the Empire.
Dubbed the sword of Emperor Lubarzan, Duke Heiga was making a move worthy of its reputation. The north was a region crowded with monsters rather than humans, and the soldiers had to fight strange monsters that popped up every time they took one step forward.
If other regions were fighting a war through negotiations and brain battles, the northern land that Heiga took over was truly a disaster. If there was a tree, a tree, a bird if it leaked, and even a passing fox were all monsters that smelled of blood and flocked to them, not ordinary animals and plants. Heiga swung his sword while covered in the blood and guts of monsters, and as a result, the northern part of the empire was already fairly clean.
'A game that is just enough to give the emperor a title anyway.'
For some, it is a battlefield where they risk their lives to fight fear, but in the end, Mubin already knew that it was nothing more than a game board played by the emperor and civil servants. The number of monsters Heiga cut down will eventually be used as another negotiation card.
Even moving north, Mubin knelt at the feet of some of the ethnic minorities living in the barren northern lands.
'Because it's difficult if they hold grudges and attack the people of Yeongji.'
It didn't matter if it was Mubin's black monster or human. After cutting off the heads of the visible tribe and setting it on fire, the emperor's flag was placed on the ground that had turned to ashes. That was war.
If you look at it now, it will come back as a poisoned arrow. Even though he knew that he was already a pitiful opponent who was not an enemy on the battlefield, he had no choice but to trample it thoroughly. The emperor, who should rule as his black lord, was strong enough to terrify him, so it was in war that he shined the most.
A disgusting but brutal battlefield was what he needed the most. To prove Heiga's usefulness to the cowardly emperor, he had to win the war. So Moobin didn't like war.
'Who, I want to go back soon.'
pinch.
As he let out a deep sigh, a black wolf who was following Moobin's side closed his ears and cried. There were wolves covered with black fur, but with white fur on their belly and soles, and there was one for each knight from Heiga. The black cave wolves were the ones who made a big contribution in this battle.
In particular, the small wolf that followed Mubin was an individual who had not yet taken off his young coat. But even with that gentle and tender face, he bit and killed countless monsters. Mubin, she was sure, must have been the most powerful of all the wolves that followed Heiga.
'Even if it looks like this, it's because he drank Estio-sama's blood.'
It was Estio that Hei saved the dying wolf from the estate. At the time, Estio helped the cave wolves make a promise to live with the people in Heyga's territory. The wolves who saved their lives have now saved many allies in this war. Mubin, who was wiping the blood from his sword with a cold expression, suddenly blinked without thinking about it.
"Oh, yes."
Without realizing it, a squeaky laugh leaked out of her chapped lips.
'Now do you have a place to return to?'
Mubin looked around the field where the battle had just ended, with a more relaxed expression on his face. The bloody winter pampas grass swayed softly.
The war was now at an end. As the empire stabilized, negotiations with external powers naturally went well. The northjin, which seemed to have no end, continued until today. When he participated in the war, the feeling of despondency and guilt that had always tormented him flew out of his head as if washed away this time.
It was at that moment that Mubin, who was holding the sword while vaguely imagining what kind of help the guild would start with when he returned, hardened like a stone.
"dismissal?"
The lieutenant who followed him made a curious voice. However, Moobin was not in a state to respond kindly to his subordinates now. The sensation of cold sweat running down his back, eerily echoed in his head.
"Great!"
One day, an unfamiliar pain that he could not feel even when his neck was torn by the monster's teeth during battle struck him. Mubin grabbed his chest, which felt like burning pain, and held his breath.
"Sir! Why are you doing this? Are you injured?"
As the lieutenant was stunned, the other subordinates who noticed the abnormality gathered around him.
"dismissal?"
"Hey, sir!"
Mubin grabbed her chest and didn't answer. He couldn't really come to his senses. She was in such a bad condition that it was easy for her not to fall. The humming voices sounded like they were submerged in water, and it was almost dizzying.
Then, in an instant, the hook pain disappeared again.
