Book 17 Chapter 30
Episode 119
“Lin, are you alright?”
At that moment, the being accompanying Lista Alter Shirfeng was none other than the one who scattered countless clear particles with a single flap of its wings—the Blue True Dragon.
The Blue True Dragon!
Unlike the True Dragons of other dragon legions, they were the limbs created by the Water Dragon Yeriserica to fill the void left by the White True Dragons, whose whereabouts were unknown!
“Stand back. Baoba’s body must be isolated from the spatiotemporal domain.”
It is no exaggeration to say that those who assist Yeriserica, who foretells the future through the ‘Pure White Dream’ and struggles for the welfare of humanity, are closer to humanity than any other True Dragon.
“O-Oh my god! Baoba’s flesh is being trapped in blue light, and its regeneration is stopping!”
Unlike the Yellow Dragon Legion, which upholds the rule of law in the Papal State, and the Red Dragon Legion, which defends humanity on the front lines, they have supported fields such as medicine, pharmacology, and archaeology!
But their true intention was!
It was to find and annihilate the abyss stirring in the shadows of that beautiful era of peace!
“Curiosity towards the abyss is strictly forbidden; do not even think about approaching it.”
What a madman!
In a scene where an ordinary person would vomit and flee or faint, what is the identity of this boy who, on the contrary, approaches and reaches out his hand!
Even as Tuvassa knelt and paid homage to the Blue True Dragon, he couldn't help but doubt his eyes.
“That’s right, Lin! Don’t act like a child and come here quickly!”
Lista dragged the boy by the scruff of his neck, isolating him to a safe zone!
“Tch, can’t I even look a little?”
“No.”
“It’s not like it’ll wear out.”
“They say it will.”
“Really?”
“Isn’t that why they told you not to touch it? Otherwise, they would have said it doesn’t matter how much Lin touches it.”
What insane purity!
Lista said so, wondering if that was the case, and Lin also understood, thinking, ‘Oh, so that’s how it is!’
“But he’s still alive after all this, how on earth does he die? Is he really immortal?”
Phew… he’s joking, but for now, it’s very reassuring.
While isolated by the Blue True Dragon’s power, Baoba seems unable to move.
Then the Blue True Dragon breathed out a dragon’s breath, and the particles imbued in that breath projected a certain image into the air.
“Look at this mural. This was originally carved at the entrance of the deep-sea palace where the ruler of the ancient sea resided.”
“Th-that? No matter how I look at it, from this angle or that, it’s Baoba!!!”
“Look closely, Lin! It’s not just one person! There are three more!”
“A structure like a palace has four sides, and it is natural that there are sea gatekeepers guarding its four entrances.”
Generally, to explain it based on human common sense, they had an appearance hideously mixed with shark, human, and demon, just like Baoba.
“Baoba was the leader of those sea gatekeepers. Your merit in subduing such a being before it awakened with its full power is truly great.”
“Hmph… it’s natural for the [Strongest Mage], praise is unnecessary.”
Lin swiped under his nose and waved his hand.
What blasphemy!
What madman could act so arrogantly towards a True Dragon! Yet, it was tolerated!
“This archipelago is where the remnants gathered for a kingdom’s revival movement after the deep-sea palace was conquered by the <Ones Who Came>.”
“And they were quickly subjugated, I see.”
“That’s right. They were low-ranking nobles, insignificant as roadside stones to the <Ones Who Came> and the Holy Elmene Knights, to the extent that they were simply recorded in history. However, in modern times, it’s no exaggeration to say they are a disaster themselves.”
“In modern times, the Strongest Mage himself exists.”
“This matter is an extension of the fierce war against the demon race currently underway on the Adrion continent! One sea gatekeeper has already awakened, and other Nagas are targeting other sea gatekeepers.”
“Th-then… what should we do now?”
The Blue True Dragon’s eyes suddenly fixed on Lin.
“Bearer of the name of spring breeze. As you have experienced in battle, those born with the limitations of mortality cannot annihilate those blessed with immortality.”
“!”
“To fight against such beings, you must now accept the destiny chosen and bestowed upon ‘you’ by that revered one.”
“You (plural)?”
“Currently, my brother, Tazirmum, has come here by the command of the Pure White Mother. Meet him. He will convey what he received from Mother to ‘you’. Go. Your companion, the priestess blessed by the Fire Dragon, has already arrived.”
‘You (plural),’ that word felt strange. Lin was currently standing slightly apart from Lista.
“Not ‘you’ (singular), but ‘you’ (plural)? It doesn’t seem to be referring to Lista and me.”
“Oh Lin~ The True Dragon might not be fluent in human language and could make a mistake in word choice, how could you embarrass him like that? Dragons have their own language, dragonic, you know.”
“Ah, so even the strongest beings need that kind of human touch. Noted.”
In this scene of insane blasphemy, the only one who showed polite reverence to the True Dragon, Tuvassa, asked.
“And you, True Dragon-nim?”
“I must keep Baoba isolated, so I cannot move from here for a while. If this seal is about to break, I will use my body to fully seal him. Hurry. Time is of the essence.”
