How To Survive As A Dragon With Time-Limit Chapter 236

Episode 236 Rescue (1)

After destroying the location transmitting device hidden in the leash, the persistent tracking that had been bothering Erica for the past few days disappeared as if it had been a lie.

But Erica accelerated her wings even more.

Since there was no tracking, she could have rested a little, but she didn’t even have that time.

The time was already running short, and it had already been delayed several times due to the pursuers.

‘We have to hurry… … .’

Even now, at this moment, I had no idea what would have happened to Floria and Douglas.

Erica gritted her teeth and flew for several hours until she arrived at the skies of Cyron.

She was about to fly straight to the Tower of Desire, but stopped high in the sky.

Her face was very tense.

‘Is it the right choice to head to the tower like this?’

If it had been a while ago, I might have gone straight to the Tower of Desire without even thinking about it.

However, his thoughts changed when he discovered a location transmitting device in the leash he had left to his student.

‘… Who can we trust in the Tower of Desire now?’

Paula, who he thought he knew best and trusted the most.

Given the circumstances, it was too great a risk to go straight to the Tower of Desire when the disciple’s betrayal was suspected.

If you don’t even trust your disciples, how can you trust anyone else?

‘I need time… … .’

Ironically, what Erica needed more than anything right now was time.

Time to distinguish friends from enemies and organize your thoughts.

And time to recover your tired body.

If I entered the Tower of Desire in my current state, I would not be able to deal with any unexpected situation.

Maybe it would be like crawling into an ogre’s den on my own.

‘Sorry, Floria, Douglas…’ a little bit… Please wait a little longer.’

Erica decided to take a break and looked away from the Tower of Desire.

Her gaze turned to one side.

‘I have to go there.’

A hideout where no one will notice.

Also, a place where you can secure a safe escape route even if you are discovered by the enemy.

Of all the places Erica currently knows, there was only one place that met all the criteria.

‘Let’s move.’

Soon, Erica’s new form disappeared into the clouds.

A little while after that.

A shadow fell like a thunderbolt into the forest on the outskirts of Siron.

Erica runs through the forest at high speed.

The place she soon arrived at was a small waterfall.

Sigh-.

Erica went behind the waterfall after being hit by the pouring water.

She put her hand between the cracks in the rock and pulled a small lever.

OK.

Grumble-.

One cave wall opened with a small sound.

Erica grumbled when she saw that a small passage had been created that an adult man could barely crawl through.

“Anyway, this guy Douglas.”

The doorway she came to was made by Douglas.

It is small, as expected from a passage made by dwarves.

‘Why make the entrance like this? … .’

The maze in the basement of the Transcendental Science Museum was actually not this complicated at first.

It wasn’t an underground maze to begin with, it was just an emergency escape route from the Tower of Desire to the outside.

However, as the Grand Meisters gradually gained fame and became famous, the situation changed.

[Do these damn people have a conscience or not! If you do anything, please do this, do that! It sticks so badly!]

[Why on earth do we have to stand outside for an hour just to enter our tower?]

[…] I also miss the quiet Cyron these days.]

[Giggle, it doesn’t matter because I flew here.]

[Shut up, bird head!]

[Shut up, Erica!]

[Shut up, Erica!]

Not only Siron, but also those who were fed up with the crowds that followed them whenever they entered or left the tower, began to build a passageway through which they could enter and exit without being noticed by anyone.

Since it was the time when the Transcendental Academy was being built, a large-scale construction was carried out in secret to connect the Academy, the Tower of Desire, and the outskirts of Sairon.

Douglas recruited dwarves and, following Victor’s opinion, even created places to store the legacy throughout the underground maze.

Thanks to the creation of the underground maze, the Grand Meisters were able to freely enter and leave the outside world while avoiding numerous gazes.

“I’m sorry, everyone. At that time, I made fun of him for doing something useless… … .”

Erica flew in and out of the tower every time.

At the time, she had giggled and made fun of herself for wasting energy on something pointless, but she bit back a bitter smile because she never thought her friends’ efforts would help her in this way.

“ha… … .”

Erica passed through the low passage and arrived at the wide passage.

She collapsed, leaning against the wall.

All she had eaten for the past few days was rainwater.

My arms and legs were shaking and I felt like I was going to fall asleep at any moment.

But Erica overcame her drowsiness and rolled her head.

‘Who should I tell the news to in this situation?’

Who should I tell this news to?

‘To all Meisters?’

Erica shook her head.

‘If that happens, Floria and Douglas could be in danger.’

I didn’t know what method the renegade bastard would take when faced with an extreme situation.

In the worst case, Floria and Douglas’ lives may be in danger.

‘We need to deliver the news to someone we can trust and form a rescue team as quietly as possible.’

Erica started getting a headache.

Who on earth can you trust in this situation?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come to a decision easily.

I felt like my heart was going to burst from frustration.

Once the tower’s development was back on track, the days were spent freely wandering the continent, leaving the tower’s operation to Floria and Douglas.

Erica reflected on her actions and blamed herself.

‘how… What makes someone like me a Grand Meister, and what makes me a disciple of the Tower of Desire! It’s so pathetic… … .’

Erica, who had been blaming herself for a long time, suddenly got up from her seat.

She turned her gaze into the dark passage.

‘There’s someone?!’

A figure suddenly appeared from the other side of the passage.

Erica was so startled that she ended up screaming loudly.

“Who are you?”

The moment her shout echoed through the passage, Erica felt like it was a mistake.

‘this… … !’

A situation where there is a traitor inside the tower.

And an unidentified stranger felt in the underground labyrinth known only to Grand Meisters.

There was no guarantee that the author would not be in the same company as a traitor.

It was a clear mistake to raise a loud voice in such a situation.

‘stupid!’

Because I was mentally and physically exhausted, I was unable to make the right decision.

I tried to blame myself, but the water had already been spilled.

While Erica was blaming herself, an unexpected reaction came from the other side of the aisle.

“Who do you think I am?”

“… … ?!”

It was a young voice I had never heard before.

Jeopuk-Jeobbuk-.

The voice on the other end echoed through the passage, followed by the sound of footsteps slowly approaching towards me.

This got Erica’s nerves tense.

Jeopuk-Jeobbuk-.

The sound of footsteps at a constant pace, neither fast nor slow.

That made Erica’s heart pound even more.

Silver wings spread behind Erica’s back as she pursed her lips.

Although it was not easy to move because it was a narrow passage, this was the only weapon that could protect oneself from the unidentified being that was slowly approaching.

gulp-.

‘Even now… Should I run away?’

Erica swallowed dryly and thought about turning around and running.

But I didn’t feel alive in the person approaching in the darkness.

And curiosity about this person who appeared in a place known only to Grand Meisters grabbed hold of her legs.

Jeopuk-.

Footsteps were heard again.

And the first thing to appear in the dark passage was a glowing sphere.

“… … ?!”

A sphere that floats in the sky and illuminates the passage.

and.

Jeopuk-.

Once again, the sound of footsteps came into the light.

Starting from the toes, legs, thighs, stomach, and chest.

A person who emerges from the darkness and into the light, slowly revealing himself.

That extremely brief moment felt like time was slowly turning back to Erica.

Eventually, when the light shined under the other person’s nose, the red lips that were revealed to the world were sweet.

“The answer is… … .”

The person walking from the other side of the aisle with a strange smile was fully revealed.

‘man… … ?’

White skin and white hair.

Purple eyes that shine beautifully in the light.

The moment she encountered the existence of beauty that transcended human limitations, Erica’s eyes began to flutter.

‘ah… … .’

It was definitely a man I had never seen before.

But it was also a very familiar being.

If that tiny being in your memory grows properly, wouldn’t it be exactly like that?

While Erica was frozen in shock, Lois’ lips softened with a smile.

“He is a dirty and scary dragon.”

The moment Erica heard that voice, her body trembled as if she had been struck by lightning.

My heart was pounding hard and I felt dizzy.

Erica, barely able to come to her senses, called his name for the first time in a long time.

“Lois… sir?”

Lois’ smile grew even deeper at the call to her.

It was just a wordless smile, without any affirmation or denial, but Erica was certain of this.

The person smiling brightly in that light is the ‘top owner’ they have been waiting for so long.

And the moment I realized that fact, the tension in my whole body was completely relieved.

“ah… … .”

dump-.

Erica just passed out.

Lois, who was watching this, muttered in confusion.

“… Was my appearance that shocking?”

* * *

Erica had a dream.

A dream in which a huge black tidal wave chases you as you fly.

Douglas and Floria were floating as if dead in a tsunami bigger than a mountain, and Erica gritted her teeth and tried to get away from the tsunami.

But as time passed, the tsunami got closer and closer, until it finally loomed over her head.

The moment when the feeling of despair that everything is over comes over you.

‘ah… … .’

A huge white sun rose above the black tsunami.

As the light hit, the black tsunami turned into dust and disappeared.

At the moment when the relief of being alive hits you, aren’t eyes, nose, and mouth appearing in the pure white sun?

Taeyang glared at Erica and opened his mouth.

[How long are you going to sleep in?]

Do you want to stay?

… Do you want to come?

… they say?

Erica woke up from her dream as she felt the voice of the sun echoing.

“omg?!”

A forehead soaked in cold sweat.

When she regained consciousness, she urgently looked around.

A passage not far from the entrance you entered.

And the moment she confirmed that there was nothing around, she smiled weakly.

“… “It was a dream.”

A dream of being chased by a black tsunami.

And a dream of meeting Royce, the owner of the tower.

Erica thought everything she had experienced was a dream.

‘They say dreams are a mirror that reflects our wishes… … .’

I didn’t know that maybe that thought was in the back of my mind.

If there was a tower owner.

If it were him, he could have saved Floria and Douglas.

Perhaps it was with that wish that Lois appeared in his dream.

Erica jumped to that conclusion.

If it weren’t for the voice that came from behind her.

“It sounds like a dream.”

“Huh?!”

Erica jumped to her feet at the sound of a voice coming from nowhere.

The first thing she noticed at that moment was her physical condition.

‘uh? body?!’

My body, which had felt like a thousand pounds, was so refreshing that it felt like it was flying.

Then I turned my head and saw the person in my field of vision and my pupils got bigger.

A being who appeared exactly as he thought it was a dream.

“… Lois?”

“why?”

“really… Are you the owner of the tower?”

“uh.”

“this… “It’s not a dream, is it?”

“I saved my life by eating expensive things, but are you going to keep saying crazy things?”

“really… It’s not a dream, is it? Is that so?”

“What? “Are you still out of your mind?”

After saying that, Lois released some of the energy she had been hiding.

And at that moment, Erica could see.

The gaze of a ferocious dragon hidden behind a kind and beautiful face.

“Ahh!”

Shaking with fear, she slumped down in her seat.

The moment Erica experienced the fear she couldn’t resist, she paradoxically felt relieved.

‘It is he…’ It’s really him!’

Who else in the world but Lois would give off this kind of energy?

Erica’s eyes welled up with tears as she clearly recognized Lois’ presence, and she expressed deep sadness.

“flaw… Hehe, hehe! why! Why did you come now! why!”

“… uh?”

“What have you been doing and now you’re here! “Huh!”

“Is this crazy?”

Lois was taken aback by the sight of Erica clutching her pants and sobbing loudly.

Erica shed tears for a long time.

Sniff-sniff-.

Lois asked sullenly, looking at her sniffling.

“Did you all cry?”

“… yes. “Hehehe.”

“Then tell me now.”

“yes?”

“Why do you look like that?”

“ah!”

Only then did Erica come to her senses and her face turned pale.

she asked urgently.

“Well, how long have I been passed out?”

“About an hour.”

Only then did Erica feel relieved at those words.

It would have been a big disappointment if I had fallen asleep for several days.

Seeing Erica’s relief, Lois became convinced that something had really happened.

“say it. what happened.”

“that is… … .”

At Lois’s urging again, Erica began to reveal in detail what she had experienced.

From the day Floria and Douglas were kidnapped by mysterious raiders, everything he experienced in the few days he escaped.

Lois’ complexion hardened as the story was quickly summarized in a short period of time.

‘The plan those bastards were talking about… This is what you were talking about!’

Kidnapping the Grand Meisters was his plan.

This was something Lois didn’t expect.

Lois asked with a frown on her face.

“So it’s been roughly four days since you were kidnapped? “You don’t even know if the other kids are alive or dead?”

“yes… … .”

Erica nodded with a gloomy face.

Lois reads her concern for Douglas and Floria.

He held out his hand to Erica.

“let’s go.”

“… yes?”

“Let’s go. “To save the kids.”

“ah… … .”

The tone was somewhat dull and light, in contrast to the seriousness of the incident, but upon hearing this, Erica felt all her worries and worries disappear like melting snow.

‘Okay, if this is you… … !’

As a result, Erica was able to smile brightly for the first time in four days.

“yes!”

The moment when a smiling Erica held Lois’ hand.

Tsupot!

The two disappeared in the underground maze.
