Power interpretation
Hemolysis.
Dragon’s blood.
It was a legend passed down from generation to generation among the Borfur people.
A very distant past. This was before the Borfur tribe even had its current name. A time when people could not wear tribal masks and simply wandered deep into the mountains and survived by hunting and gathering.
Arowana, the dragon who was the great ruler of the mountains, was the umbrella that helped them survive the threats of the wild and the world.
And he was also a grateful ‘god’ who gave us fire and taught us language.
The Borpur tribe regards Arowana as a guardian dragon, and has made it their mission to sacrifice their bravery for him and publicize his exploits.
And that tradition has continued until now, when Arowana has disappeared and the nest remains only as a sacred place for the tribe.
Batu as a child was one of those who believed that the legend was true.
-I will inherit Arowana’s power! I will be chosen by him and become a great dragon warrior!
The Dragon Warrior was another legend related to Arowana.
A legend that one day a great warrior with dragon blood will appear and lead the tribe to glory and prosperity.
Batu, who was an orphan, always had a strong yearning for strength and was willing to do anything if he could become strong.
That’s how my relationship with the sailor who happened to be introduced to the tribe began.
When the Great Warrior, who was said to be the strongest in the tribe, was defeated by him, he begged to be taught how to use a sword.
-Why are you trying to raise a sword?
-okay. It’s asking why.
-Isn’t that obvious?
-If you become strong, no one can attack you. We can protect Sarnai too!
Sailor immediately realized that Batou was talented and became greedy.
However, I asked that question to test whether that enthusiasm might one day eat Batuu.
If I had simply been given the reason that I was trying to get revenge on those who had been harassing me, I would have rejected it on the spot.
But Batu’s answer was not like that.
When you become strong, no one can attack you.
And it can protect Sarnai, who has trouble with his eyesight.
Sailor also raised both her hands because she heard this realistic reason first.
This was the reason he first picked up a sword.
-Sailor… sorry. Because I couldn’t protect you.
Sailor looked at Sarnai again, remembering her adoptive father who once looked at her with a bitter smile and closed his eyes.
Sarnai, who was reunited after 20 years, is now difficult to see as he was back then.
However, the old appearance still remained everywhere.
A kind heart that is considerate of others, a soft manner of speaking, and the insight that seems to see everything through with eyes closed… .
“You said so loudly that you would jump into the sacred place someday, and it seems you finally gained strength from that.”
The nest where the guardian dragon was said to have lived was a forbidden place for the Borfur people that should never be approached.
It was a sacred place, but on the other hand, it was also a place where no one returned once they entered.
“The only person who entered the holy place and came out was Batu.”
“You were the one who helped me do that?”
Sarnai laughed silently.
But Sailor knew.
The white cloth that Sarnai had wrapped around his eyes, countless scenes flickering beneath him at this very moment.
Her natural ability was clairvoyance.
I could overlook all the scenery under the sky. Things that have happened, have happened, and will happen in the future.
Past, present, future… . Regardless of the sequential flow of time or the presence or absence of a place, everything was mixed together and showed many things.
There were many people who noticed Sarnai’s talent early on and tried to take advantage of her.
Changcheon’s eyes.
Those who knew her called that power.
These are the special eyes that the God of Changcheon, who can be said to be the sky itself, gives to the beautiful human being who most resembles him.
But Sarnai really hated the expression ‘pretty’.
Sarnai had to unfairly lose his family because of this eye that he did not want. No, the entire village burned down. Batu, who barely escaped together, promised to become stronger from that day on.
In some ways, this power can be considered a curse to her. But now she was Batu’s biggest supporter.
Because it helped me obtain dragon blood and control the tribe.
A divine woman.
That was her current position within the Borfur tribe.
“It might have something to do with why you invited us.”
Sarnai’s steps stopped for a moment.
“… “Did you know?”
“I don’t have as much power as Changcheon’s eyes. But as I got older, I heard and saw so much that I naturally developed the ability to make judgments.”
A smile spread across Sailor’s lips.
Sarnai’s head fell down.
“sorry.”
It was like agreeing with what Sailor said. In other words, they also had a purpose in giving up their home to the star hordes.
But Sailor didn’t seem to care much.
“You once called me father. But what about children? Sometimes, you need to know how to be pampered by your parents. “If you take care of things too well on your own, as a parent, you can’t help but feel grateful but also bitter.”
Hehehe. So feel free to pamper me as much as you want. The next word touched Sarnai’s heart so deeply.
In the end, Sarnai bit his lower lip and spoke slowly.
“Batu… Please stop it.”

“how?”
“He’s so drunk on blood right now.”
“hmm?”
This time, Sailor’s steps stopped.
He realized that something was unusual.
“He will continue to get stronger. “No one can stop him then.”
“Would you like to tell me in detail?”
“How long do you think it took Batu to take the dragon blood and become the tribal leader?”
“well. “About ten years?”
“Five years.”
“what?”
Sailor’s eyes widened.
5 years. Batu was strong enough to take out one of Hermann’s eyes. Among the mountain peoples, the Borfur tribe was made one of the most prominent tribes. But you accomplished that in just 5 years?
As far as Sailor knew, Elric had the fastest growth rate. But he probably had a growth rate that was comparable to his, no, maybe even faster.
“Dragon blood was much more effective than I expected. The problem is that… .”
“Batu is drunk on power?”
“Not only does it make you drunk, but it also gives you the characteristics of a dragon. Dragon’s reason, dragon’s intelligence, dragon’s judgment, dragon’s thinking… As time passes, the real Batu may gradually disappear, and only Batu, who has become a dragon, may remain.”
Sarnai took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
“And as time goes by, the awakening speed of dragon blood is gradually getting faster.”
“hmm.”
“Furthermore, Batu even shared his blood with some of his limbs.”
“That’s the problem.”
It was only then that Sailor realized the seriousness of the situation and fell into silence.
When I briefly bumped into them the other day, I was told that their growth was particularly noticeable compared to the Borfur people I knew, and it seemed like there was a reason for that.
“… .”
“… .”
There was a deep silence between the two people standing in the dark, even if only for a moment.
Through the blindfold Sarnai wore, a single tear flowed.
“Please save him.”
“… .”
“Please save me from the dragon’s clutches, father.”
Demonic hand.
That expression touched Sailor’s heart.
Considering the influence the guardian dragon had on these tribes, it could have been considered blasphemy.
Sarnai truly thought so.
“I get it. Let’s do as much as we can. If your son is going down the wrong path, it would be his duty as a father to save him. So don’t worry too much, daughter.”
father. daughter. Although it was not a natural match made in heaven, the two father and daughter, whose bond was made between people, could feel that something in their hearts was tightly bound together without them continuing to speak.
“Then what should I do?”
Sarnai hesitated before speaking and spoke in a heavy tone.
“The power of the dragon. “Father, please take it.”
How much thought did it take to say that?
This was all the more inevitable since I knew very well how Batu felt as he tried to obtain Dragon’s Blood.
But the most important thing to Sarnai was not Batu, who would get drunk on dragon blood and eventually be eaten.
It was not a supreme position like that of a priestess.
Just a home where you can spend time with Batu in peace. That one was enough.
Sailor quietly nodded.
“First, let me tell you about the guardian dragon you all serve… !”
Just when Sailor was about to ask details about a dragon called Arowana to find a way.
“Aaaah!”
Suddenly, a scream sounded from the village.
Sailor and Sarnai’s faces hurriedly turned towards that direction.
Something must have happened.
* * *
The incident began with the embers of conflict that had arisen within the Star Wars group over the past month.
“How about turning this to the right? Instead, turn your magic to the left.”
“Are you trying to instill rotational power?”
“that’s right.”
“That’s a good method. “I’ll have to ask the head of the family separately later.”
Brian laughed lightly as he looked at his friend, Ate, who was struggling while holding the window tightly.
A friend I met while joining the Star Wars.
Although it hasn’t been long since we met, he now feels close to me, like a close friend who has been with me since childhood.
There were many times when I felt frustrated because I was so silent and reticent.
Still, I was able to get close to him easily because I could see his passion for magic and his serious concerns and consideration about his family.
Look at it now.
Aren’t you now using the expression ‘matriarch’ to Elric without hesitation?
So, even if he didn’t express it separately, he thought Ate would have the same thoughts as him.
‘Besides that, I don’t know much about this friend.’
One thing that was disappointing was that Brian didn’t know much about Ate’s story.
I didn’t ask for details because I wanted to hide it. Because I thought there were circumstances for that.
Just like yourself, doesn’t everyone have their own inner feelings that they can’t tell others?
I just hoped that someday, when my heart would open wider, I would reveal everything.
Then.
“window?”
“awesome. that.”
While the two were talking, they were startled when people from the Borfur tribe suddenly appeared.
They were carrying a dead wild boar on their backs, as if they had been hunting nearby, and were gesticulating with their hands and feet while talking to them.
Very poor imperial language. But when I listened closely, it wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t understand it.
Even though we were usually close by, we treated each other as if we didn’t exist, as requested from the other side.
Apparently, he became curious after accidentally seeing someone practicing weapon skills.
Before showing anger towards the imperial people, it probably means that they are also warriors.
‘how will we do it?’
Brian looked at Ate with such doubt.
Ate, who usually doesn’t like to talk to other people, also meant that if it was burdensome, he would just let her go.
however.
“you guys. Spearmanship. It was cooler. “It’s gorgeous.”
Atega spoke to the tribe members in their own language. Although it was a list of short words, the pronunciation was quite good, to the surprise of Brian, who was listening.
The tribe members looked slightly surprised, but soon responded with laughter and spoke again.
If you approach the other person in their own language, the psychological distance becomes closer.
Brian, Ate, and the tribe members soon sat together and started talking.
Although the language barrier was still high, it was not that much of a problem because the desire to become closer to each other was greater than that.
In particular, since the main topics of conversation were each other’s weapon skills, magic, and magic, a consensus was quickly formed.
and.
From that day on, the very small conversation between them continued as time passed, and soon led to exchanges.
Several groups mingled.
The Star Servant taught some of the weapon skills he had learned from Elric that day to the tribe members, and the tribe members also shared their practical combat experiences with the Star Servant.
But as always.
There were bound to be some people who were displeased with such a sight.
Wizard who swallowed talent
