YM778.TV Chapter 247: Dont Get Cocky, Dragon.
Judging by his face, he’s not a general, but closer to a criminal.
“Ring the bell.”
“Yes, Sir!”
As the guy ordered his subordinate to ring the large bell in the village, people put on their coats and hurried outside.
Seeing them pulling their prepared carts, it seems today is the ‘day of offering tribute’.
As Anabelle said, there was a group of outsiders who seemed unfamiliar with the situation.
Like me, they were observing from afar, but they weren’t hiding.
Confident, aren’t they?“New faces.”
“They are the new slaves.”
“Ah, I see.”
“We’re not slaves!”
A girl, who looks young at a glance, shouts, trusting her comrades.
The atmosphere felt dangerous.
“No, you are slaves.”
“If we’re slaves, then what are you?”
“We’re slaves too. Everyone is a slave.”
“Crazy!”
The man put on his helmet and drew his sword.
Seeing this, the well-built adventurers surrounded the girl, trying to protect her.
“Hey, mister. You wanna try something?”
“Just so you know, my boxing skill level is 87.”
“Hmm. Perfect for a test slash.”
The flow of mana is fluctuating.
If they’re skilled, they should know it’s dangerous at this stage…!
“Pearl Blade.”
The soldier captain’s sword glowed.
The villagers who had come out with their tributes trembled in fear, hugging each other.
“Is that magic?”
“He didn’t even chant. It’s nothing!”
The captain swung his sword in the air.
Sharp wedges of light, like awls, shot from where the sword passed, instantly turning the men’s bodies into hole-ridden corpses.
“Ahhh! Hans, Tonio!”
“Male slaves are useless anyway.”
The bikini-clad girl collapsed, her legs giving way at the senseless deaths of her comrades.
“Bring that woman here.”
“Yes, Sir!”
“N-no! Let go of me!”
The captain looked back at the bald guy I had crippled.
“Are those the guys who did this? The ones who touched you?”
“No, Sir. That guy had tan skin, was tall, and a bit more built.”
“He also has this annoying grin plastered on his face.”
“And… he’s incredibly strong!”
“Hmm.”
“Let go!”
“Captain Liam, I brought her.”
Liam ripped the girl’s swimsuit and groped her breasts in front of everyone.
“No!”
“This female slave seems like she’ll be fun to play with.”
“Who says so!”
“We humans belonging to the Western Dragon Knights are under Lady Cayen’s protection, so we’re B-class slaves. You guys are C-class at best.”
“W-what are you talking about….”
“Don’t you get it? The level of human rights is different.”
“Level of… human rights…?”
“I can do whatever I want with you.”
Liam stabbed the girl with his sword.
“Ugh!”
“Even kill you.”
He twists the sword… inflicting pain on the girl!
“Or torture you.”
Slash!
As he pulled the sword out, the girl fell to the floor like a puppet with its strings cut.
“It’s all up to me.”
“….”
Liam looked at the terrified villagers and said,
“Come forward if you have any complaints.”
“W-we don’t!”
“Lord Liam. We have prepared this tribute. Please…”
“Please spare our lives!”
“Of course, I’ll be as merciful as always. However…”
Oh shit!
I almost got caught.
That guy’s got good senses, doesn’t he?
“Yesterday, there was a very unfortunate incident.”
The villagers exchanged glances.
“As some of you may know, a member of our Western Dragon Knights… was beaten by a C-class slave.”
He’s talking about me.
“As I mentioned earlier, a well-built man with tan skin…”
“A blond man.”
“Yes, if anyone has seen the blond man, report him.”
“….”
“….”
No one is selling me out.
No one wants to send an innocent person to their death.
But Liam smirked as if he expected this.
“I’ll reward the first person to speak.”
Then, someone raised their hand.
“He came to this village. I saw him last night near the fishing spot!”
“And? Where did he go?”
“I-I don’t know any more than that.”
“Alright. Pearl Blade.”
Slash!
The informant’s body was pierced by a wedge of light.
“Ahhh! You!”
“Why didn’t you come forward when I first asked? This is your punishment.”
“Captain, there might be others who know him.”
This way, no one can come forward even if they want to.
His subordinate seemed to be pointing that out.
But Liam just laughed.
“These villagers are hiding him. Instead of repaying Lady Cayen’s grace, they’re hiding a C-class slave from the Empire? I’ll execute one person at a time until you tell me where he’s hiding.”
Bawin and his wife’s faces turned pale.
“Captain, even if you do that, Lady Cayen will be furious if you kill all the villagers.”
“How long have you been stationed here?”
“A month, Sir!”
“Even if we kill them all, within a week, clueless otherworlders will settle here.”
Crazy bastard.
Does that justify killing all the locals?
He seems content to kill everyone if no one knows me.
“You, over there. Come out.”
“Gasp…! Please spare me!”
“Pearl…”
Just as I was getting ready to go out…
Liam’s body crumpled like a crushed fruit and fell to the ground.
“Ahhh!”
“Captain!”
What?
I haven’t done anything yet?
A wind blew through the village square.
“A dragon!”
“It’s Lord Cayen!”
“He graced us with his presence… Unbelievable!”
The Dragon Knights all kneel and bow their heads.
I was awestruck by the sight I had never seen before.
A black dragon… covering the sky!
It instantly descends to the ground, transforming into a handsomely dressed human male.
Is that man Cayen?
Cayen was a handsome man with ash-gray skin and purple hair swept back, revealing a broad forehead.
“Foolish fool, indiscriminately killing slaves.”
It’s clear who killed Liam.
The Black Dragon… Cayen.
He looked at the Dragon Knights before the villagers who had come to offer tribute.
“What were you doing? Did you use my name to freely exercise the right to kill slaves?!”
“W-we apologize!”
“It is our fault for failing to stop the captain’s transgression!”
“We will gladly accept any punishment you deem fit!”
“You shouldn’t kill indiscriminately. Male slaves are valuable labor. Kill those who resist, and spare those who offer tribute.”
“Yes! Understood!”
“You.”
Cayen immediately pointed to a man.
“Brace, Sir!”
“Brace. You are the next captain.”
“Thank you, Sir!”
“Are those gathered here to offer tribute?”
“Yes, Sir!”
“Then, I shall take them myself this time. Come forward one by one.”
Phew, good thing I didn’t go out.
I could handle Liam, but not a monster like that.
He seems to be the Black Dragon ruling this entire western region.
“Your quarrying output isn’t what it used to be. Why?”
“I apologize! I injured my back… and rested for three days, which reduced my output.”
“How are you now?”
“I-I’m fine now!”
“Then it’s fine. Pass.”
He seems more reasonable than Liam.
Should I go out and talk to him?
While I was hesitating, it was Bawin and his wife’s turn.
“Excellent. The fruits are very ripe.”
“Thanks to Lord Cayen’s grace.”
“Continue to work for our clan.”
“Yes, Sir!”
“Wait.”
Cayen suddenly stopped Bawin and his wife after seeing Anabelle, who was about to pass by with a bow.
“Woman, what is your name?”
“A-Anabelle.”
“Beautiful. Serve me tonight.”
“Gasp…! Lord Cayen, Anabelle is my wife!”
Cayen grabbed Anabelle’s ample breasts.
What the fuck is this guy doing?
“So what? Your wife is mine tonight.”
“Please…. Lord Cayen! We have a child!”
The newly appointed Dragon Knight captain immediately dragged Bawin, who had fallen to his knees, away.
“Lord Cayen is offering to use your wife! Consider it an honor!”
“Please, please! Lord Cayen! Please don’t do this! Please!”
“Drag this bastard out!”
Anabelle couldn’t say a word even as she watched her husband being dragged away.
Because the other party is a dragon.
This is different from when she was almost raped by a third-rate thug.
“P-please don’t hurt my husband.”
“Release him.”
“Yes, Sir!”
Bawin, feeling his helplessness, knelt down.
“I will sleep with your wife for one night. I’ll return her tomorrow.”
“Please…”
“You don’t have to offer tribute next month.”
“Are you telling me to sell my wife’s body?!”
“If my consideration seems cheap to you, I’ll take your head right now.”
“Come now, Anabelle.”
“Ah…”
As Anabelle was being dragged away by Cayen, she looked around.
She’s looking for me.
If I leave her like this, Anabelle will have to serve Cayen for the night.
I couldn’t stand for that.
“Who are you looking for? Hmm…?”
As if he noticed something, Cayen put his nose to Anabelle’s neck and sniffed.
“You’ve already committed adultery. Woman.”
“Ahh…”
“A-adultery?”
Bawin’s face turned white.
“My wife… with whom…”
“Me.”
Whoa, everyone’s staring.
Feels like I became an instant celebrity.
I walk confidently in my resort-style, girl-hunting attire.
Geum Taeyang’s entrance.
“I did it. Take your hands off Anabelle. You filthy lizard.”
“How dare you to Lord Cayen!”
“That’s him! He’s the one who broke my arm!”
The knights instantly surround me.
Cayen, on the other hand, wrapped his arm around Anabelle’s waist as if to show off.
“Gasp…”
“Did one night of adultery spark a connection? What right do you have to tell me not to take this woman?”
“Because she’s my woman.”
“She’s my wife!”
Bawin cried out, but no one listened.
I issued a warning before the knights could approach.
“I am an envoy sent to the Dragon Kingdom by order of Her Majesty the Emperor. If you lay a finger on me, Her Majesty will be enraged.”
“What….”
Cayen was also startled and stared at me wide-eyed.
“A frivolous guy like you is the Empire’s envoy?”
“That’s right.”
“Proof?”
“Proof?”
“Do you have an imperial edict to prove you’re an envoy?”
“Um…”
Come to think of it, I don’t have anything like that.
“No!”
“I’ll give you credit for the guts to commit fraud without fearing for your life. What emperor would send an envoy without an edict?”
This bastard, is he a fact-violence thug?
He’s only saying the right things.
What can I do about Sihyeon-hyung’s easygoing personality?
“Attack!”
“W-wait, wait!”
I decided to prove my identity in a different way.
Trainer License ON.
“What’s that?”
“It’s a Trainer License. A real license issued by the Magnetar Center.”
“….”
“….”
“Don’t you people know what a Trainer is? I’m a… with a brand power of 4 million…”
“The Empire’s Trainer!”
Cayen shouted.
“Kill him!”
“Uwaaaa!”
Fuck!
They’re not going to spare me just because I’m a famous Trainer!
I had no choice but to draw Dawn Moon.
“Anyone who wants to be crippled, come at me!”
I miss Cecilia.
If Cecilia were here, I wouldn’t be surrounded like this!
I read the flow of mana and subdued the knights one by one.
Carefully tracing Dawn Moon along the seams of their armor, I increase the number of cripples one by one.
Cayen, seeing me fight, shouted,
“Stop! I’ll do it myself.”
Realizing that his knights were no match for me, Cayen stretched out his hand.
I sensed the threatening flow of mana and dodged.
Boom!
With a large explosion, the spot where I was standing was clearly marked with scorch marks.
He uses scary magic.
“You have the basics down.”
“I’m better than that.”
I dodged Cayen’s attack magic.
That fact alone made all the knights flinch and back away, leaving Cayen and me face to face.
And with another man’s wife between us!
“Anabelle is my woman. Last night, she accepted me with her soft body.”
“I can simply overwrite the memories of another man.”
“No, Anabelle is my wife!”
This guy also fell for Anabelle’s tummy and firm ass.
Honestly, her face looks young enough to pass for mid-20s.
I need to establish dominance here to protect Anabelle.
In that case….
‘There’s no time to assess his power.’
Full power from the start!
I manifested Elizabeth, the avatar of five grains.
Seeing my avatar, Cayen also drew a black sword in his right arm and shouted,
“Come!”
Proof of existence by blood!
I cut my arm with Dawn Moon and let the blood flow.
“Aura, Activate!”
Dragon Cayen cannot harm Geum Taeyang.Seizing the original properties of space, I bestow a new monologue.
It’s an anti-dragon invincibility barrier!
Cayen immediately swung his sword, obliterating the house behind me with just the sword pressure…!
But I was fine.
“This defensive power…!”
“It’s a refined technique called Blood Art.”
“Blood Art… Is it the technique used by the blood clan?!”
“Precisely.”
“L-Lord Geum Taeyang!”
Anabelle runs towards me, shaking her firm ass.
Cayen seemed taken aback by Anabelle’s sudden action and lowered his sword.
Phew.
Got my woman back.
I embrace Anabelle and kiss her forehead.
“Shall we continue?”
“Tsk….”
Cayen retrieved his sword.
“Take that woman.”
“Suddenly?”
“After seeing this, I can’t help but believe you’re an envoy from the Empire.”
“Now you’re talking sense.”
To celebrate getting the country milf Anabelle back, I kiss her chu chu.
Anabelle ended up kissing me back in surprise.
Naturally, her husband cries out.
“Anabelle!”
“Mmm… Chup… Ch
Just words?
I hold Anabelle tightly and call out to Cayen.
“Cayen, I made a promise to Bawin and his wife. Send them to a village free from tribute exploitation.”
“…Alright. I’ll grant your request.”
That’s the way to be.
No matter how much you dislike the Empire, how can you openly defy Her Majesty’s envoy?
To put it bluntly, it finally feels like I have some clout.
The clout of power!
“Anabelle, see? I told you I’d help.”
“Ahh… Thank you…”
I whispered in Anabelle’s ear,
“You served me so well, I had to do this for you.”
“Now, go to your husband.”
Like petting a pet, I pat Anabelle’s ass and send her back to her husband.
“Now tell me. What is your purpose here?”
“Let’s talk at your place. My shoulders are stiff from a bad night’s sleep.”
“….”
Look at his face, does he want to hit me?
Go ahead if you want.
I have the anti-dragon invincibility barrier.
“I’ll guide you to my castle. Follow me.”
“Hey, let’s fly comfortably. Give me a ride on your back.”
“….”
“Should I tell Her Majesty that the Black Dragon was particularly uncooperative?”
“Damn it, do as you please!”
I climbed onto Cayen’s back, which he had transformed into his dragon form.
“Let’s go, loser!”
Cayen took off, hissing and puffing out rough breaths.
