Episode 449
Play.
For a dragon that lives for eternity, human life is too short, so the time spent in the human world is just a fun game. The name given to joy was Yuhui.
However, not all dragons could pass the 100 years or so as mere play.
High intelligence and extraordinary mana from birth. Dragons, which are higher entities in all respects, strangely had a case of longing for human life.
“Taru… … .”
Although the room was covered with gold, silver, and all kinds of treasures, Sardonyx was in despair. If you don’t have someone to love, what does it mean no matter how much time you have or how much money you have?
Now even the tears had dried from the corners of Sardonyx’s eyes and sadness flowed.
“I miss you. Ugh… … .”
Dragons have characteristics depending on their clan. The Green Clan mostly lives with nature as their friend and has no interest in the human world, while the Blue Clan, who do not like to be in groups, spends the rest of their lives alone in the depths of the sea.
On the other hand, the Red Clan was a clan led by the Dragon Lord, who built a rare and was loyal to the clan.
However, with the Dragon Lord in such sadness, the mood of the Red clan was not good.
“You haven’t had a drop of water in your mouth since you returned from the Human World. What should I do… … .”
“Isn’t it rare for dragons to go crazy after visiting Human World?”
“Blonda. Watch your mouth. “It won’t be long before our Sardonyx will shake himself off and wake up.”
The red-haired old man, who appeared to be human, and the red-haired beauty Blonda were actually members of the polymorph Red clan.
“That would be nice. It’s cluttered right now due to external problems. “Shouldn’t we decide on a new road right now?”
“Sardonyx is the strongest dragon in the history of all clans, not just the Red clan. “With someone like that, who else would you pick as Lord?”
Old man Clank was right.
In fact, for dragons, who mostly repeated the same daily routine, the Lord’s work did not really exist. The Lord was a judge and an absolute being who governed all disciplines with power.
As the head of the clan who showed off his power, he was a shield that prevented conflict with the outside world.
However, choosing another lord over Sardonyx, the strongest dragon in history, is nonsense.
“For now, I can only hope that Sardonyx recovers.”
“… … Well, if the Sentai Lord thinks so. All right.”
Blonda turned around at Clank’s words. However, Clank also knew that Sardonyx’s absence could cause division among the clan.
There’s just no way right now.
‘Unless Taru or Toru, that handsome human bastard, comes back alive… … .’
Even as Clank sighed in worry, Sardonyx’s mood showed no signs of improving.
“I want to find Taru, no matter what… … .”
Sardonyx closed his eyes.
Breaking up was the fact that I could no longer meet someone I had been with for a long time. But even though it was such a simple fact, the feeling of accepting it was not like that.
[are you okay. Gold coins aren’t important. When I’m with Repina, I’m happy just looking at the sky together like this.]
Now she must abandon the name Repina and live as Sardonyx. Tarura must forget her human side and return to the life of a dragon.
But what if that short day is better than the present eternity?
Sardonyx would give everything he had to see Taru one more day.
I was even willing to sacrifice my soul if I could live as Repina once again.
“I can’t live in a world without Taru. I can never forget Taru… … .”
Even though he had knowledge that was close to the truth, traces of Taru remained in every moment of Sardonyx.
Before I met Taru, water was just a combination of the elements, but now the scent of a fresh forest, a rippling river, and someone’s smile came to mind.
“It’s painful.”
A short word.
In that infinite cycle where memories became joy, joy became despair, despair became hope, and hope became sadness, Sardonyx’s mana became increasingly darker.
Saaaaah!
The future ahead for Sardonyx was clear. As Taru said before his death, Sardonyx’s future was to wander around in search of her other half.
As you pass through countless dimensions and time passes, you will become more and more crazy.
A dragon that goes berserk is a disaster.
Moreover, if it is a dragon lord, the scale of the disaster increases even more.
No one could know what kind of destruction the crazy Sardonyx would do as he crossed dimensions.
‘If I could see Taru just one more day… … .’
Sardonyx rubbed the ring placed on the highest place among the precious goods with a weak hand.
It was an engagement gift that Taru once gave to Sardonyx. Sardonyx was worried that it might wear out if she held it in her hands, so she sealed it with mana and stored it deep in the lair.
“okay. I’m leaving. Taru. “I will find you.”
Dimensional shift.
The girl whose name was Repina has now returned as Dragon Lord Sardonyx.
“I don’t care if my soul is destroyed and I lose my sense of self.”
That’s why I couldn’t meet Taru, so there was a choice I had to make.
“Because it will be less painful that way.”
* * *
There is a sense that hunters cannot get used to. That’s the slight dizziness you feel when using warp or teleportation.
“Dad, Wow, Velvet is so dizzy… … .”
While the unfamiliar velvet was spinning in place, Shin Yu-seong looked around.
‘This is a place connected to Sardonyx?’
The place where Shin Yu-seong arrived was divided into several paths based on a single square.
The imagined dragon’s habitat was closer to a lair or cave, but the place that became the warp was closer to a village in the forest where elves lived.
“for a moment! Stop. Are you an outsider!?”
Perhaps he had landed wrongly, but this time, an elf with really big ears called out Shin Yu-seong and stopped him.
“Kyahang? Wow, this guy has big ears!”
As soon as the elf saw Velvet, he put down the spear he was aiming at. Her velvety red hair was a characteristic of the Red clan, and the mana gushing from her dragon core was a clear identification.

“Well, it’s my first time seeing this face, but it’s a dragon hatchling. Then you… … .”
The elf guard looked at Shin Yu-seong’s face and immediately removed his transformation. The elf’s appearance just now was disguised.
The true identity of the elf guard is a dragon.
“Hey, I’m Layton! You must have met Lord… … .”
Layton was a burly man with red hair who was on guard duty to hide the clan’s hideout.
It was to protect Lair’s position from the danger of the Black clan, with whom he had a bad relationship. Of course, this is all due to the absence of Sardonyx.
“okay! This face! “It’s clear!”
As Layton shouted loudly with confidence, the boy sitting on the tree came down as if he was annoyed.
“Ah, I’m awake. Mr. Layton, why are you talking like that? uh? This human is it! that!”
The boy, who was rubbing his eyes as if he was half asleep, screamed as soon as he saw Shin Yu-seong.
“Yeah, right!? “I didn’t see anything wrong, right?”
When Layton, who seemed solemn at first, became happy by even joking with him frivolously, the boy said, “Ugh!” He smiled and looked at Shin Yu-seong’s face.
“It’s absolutely right! “There can’t be another human who looks like this!”
“Then the hatchling next to me!”
“Rod’s… … daughter? Wow, he was born between a human and a dragon, so he’s a half-dragon? “This is my first time again.”
“No, I have seen the harp of the clan I drew, but looking at the amount of mana contained in the body, it is definitely not a harp.”
“You don’t know that. Because she’s Lord’s daughter. Even if something is different, it will be different.”
The two Red Dragons had a heated discussion with Shin Yu-sung and Velvet in front of them.
“I know Velvet! The harp is a delicate instrument! Orca said she wanted to learn to play the pedal harp!”
Velvet seemed to think a topic she knew had come up, so she raised her hand and intervened.
“From the way you talk about this hatchling, it looks like it was just born?”
“Velvet is 1 year old!”
“1 year old? As expected, Lord, your daughter is amazing! “It already feels different from other hatchlings.”
Velvet was not sure if she was happy to have met the same red dragon, or to have been praised by the dragon, but Velvet appealed to her abilities with shining eyes.
“Velvet can even breathe fire!”
“oh! Hatchling’s breath? That’s really great! “Can you see it?”
“A yearling shoots breath? “No matter how much it is Lord’s bloodline.”
Quaaa!
The boy was greatly impressed when Velvet cast a splendid fire blow before she could finish speaking.
“Is this really just the behavior you did during your time as a hatchling?”
“As expected, blood cannot be deceived.”
While Velvet felt proud with her hands on her waist, Shin Yu-seong spoke to Layton.
“I came to meet your Lord.”
But before Layton could respond, the boy next to him interrupted.
“Then we should meet. I was planning to take you to Lord even if you said you didn’t want to go. but… … .”
“you. “I heard you’re dead, and I heard you’re human, so why are you still the same as when you were young?”
Among humans, those with abundant mana were less affected by aging. However, Taru did not have such great abilities compared to humans.
“Isn’t it strange? “Even if I were still alive, I should have been doing it by now, today or tomorrow.”
So it was natural for the boy to be suspicious.
However, to be precise, Shin Yu-seong was not Taru. I don’t know if he was a human resembling him or if he was truly a reincarnation, but it was clear that he was not the Taru that Sardonyx knew.
“I am not the person your Lord is looking for.”
Layton and the boy noticed each other’s words. I don’t know the circumstances, but there was no reason for them to stop someone who wanted to go to Sardonyx on their own.
“Then are you sure that she is the Hechling Lord’s daughter?”
Shin Yu-seong nodded to the boy’s question. Although an alternate world, Velvet was born from an egg left behind by Sardonyx, and she inherited his talents and her mana.
There was no doubt about it.
“I’m glad I heard it. I don’t know the circumstances, but if that’s true, you’d better be careful. “Even though we say it ourselves, the current Lord is imperfect.”
“If a fake dared to pretend to be real… … . “You will not escape death.”
“But don’t be too scared. “Just follow me.”
Before Layton and the boy were taken to Sardonyx’s lair. Shin Yoo-seong and Velvet were taken somewhere.
It was a huge cave.
The barrier that was in the shape of a forest disappeared and a huge red dragon lair appeared in front of the two.
“Kyahang! dad! “The forest is disappearing!”
Velvet is amazed to see such a barrier. The boy smiled and answered kindly.
“Nothing to be surprised. Because it’s a simple barrier. If you’re curious, I’ll teach you later. But I never thought the prophecy left by Jeondae would come true so quickly.”
Shin Yu-seong frowned at the boy’s words. It was just by chance that he came here. It was a visit he wouldn’t have even attempted if Roger hadn’t given him the Bookmark of Transcendence.
“A prophecy?”
But does this mean that the red dragon called Sentai Lord predicted his visit? Did he even leave it as a prophecy?
When Shin Yu-seong looked at him with an expression of incomprehension, the boy raised both hands to calm Shin Yu-seong.
“There’s no need to be in such a hurry. “The Sentai Lord is in the area we are currently heading to.”
Shin Yu-seong looked up at Rare, still confused.
Dimensional shift was not a modification of the dimension. A new beginning and a new ending are created within the flow of multiple dimensions. In other words, it was to create a world line by creating new possibilities by peeking at a different ending.
‘but… … The Sentai Lord predicted this situation?’
So, this was a story that Shin Yu-seong could never understand based on the common sense he had learned about towers and dimensional movement.
Perhaps this was an opportunity to get one step closer to the truth of the tower that even his teacher, King Kwon, could not reach.
