The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring

59 – 057. Determination

Red dragon not only harmed Renée, but also uttered insults.

My body was itching to hit that face right away, but it was difficult to step forward.

It was necessary to first check how Kwangryong would respond.

It won’t be too late if I act after that.

And above all, for me, Rene’s treatment was the first priority.

‘Prach, can I ask for Renée’s treatment?’

[It is difficult to see this body as a priest. If you want to heal, you have no choice but to transfer your life force to someone else, is that okay?]

‘That’s enough. I’ll be examining the burned area, so in the meantime, pass on my vitality to Renee.’

[…] … The spirit of sacrifice of the contractor does not go anywhere.]

I hugged Renee, who had fallen on the floor, and looked at her hands.

The back of Renee’s hand, which was scorched and hardened.

The flesh is cracked and the skin tissue falls off, exposing the red inner muscles.

After looking directly at the wound, my stomach started to boil, and the swelling rose to the point where my eyes would roll over.

“Mr. Bern… Ugh!”

“Be patient. I will treat you soon.”

I drew a magic circle on the back of Renee’s hand and gave her coldness.

I know at least that Renee’s hand won’t come back.

Still, I wanted to catch the remaining heat and relieve the burning pain.

Meanwhile, Prach placed on his lap was glowing with dark red runes.

A large amount of energy drained from my body, and a strong sense of exhaustion attacked me.

It must mean that even though it is difficult, my vitality is being transferred to Rene smoothly.

Looking at Renee’s skin slowly returning to its original state, I stroked her heart.

“Sorry…. Because I went out for nothing, I caused a nuisance to Bern-sama.”

“You don’t have to apologize. You’re not doing anything wrong, are you? If it’s wrong…….”

Jaak-!

Just in time, the sound of a slap on the cheek echoed throughout the nest.

When I turned my head, the red-haired man was clutching his cheek to the Kwangryong’s knife.

Her expression was bewildered, and she did not seem to know why she had been hit.

“Eh, madam? Why are you doing this?”

“Ignit, you don’t seem to know what you did wrong.”

“Wrong? All I did was mongrel…….”

“Don’t call my daughter a mongrel!!”

The dragon’s roar filled with anger covered the snowy mountains.

The ground began to shake so violently that it was difficult to even stand on the nest.

Beep!

My hearing was temporarily paralyzed, leaving only unpleasant tinnitus.

A lukewarm liquid was pouring out of his ears.

The eardrum, unable to withstand the roar, was tearing and bleeding.

It hurts. It hurt to the point of deafening my ears, but I was able to endure it.

Compared to the pain René went through, the degree of tearing her eardrums was child’s play.

“Not only did you make fun of my only daughter as a mongrel, but also hurt her?”

“Mi, sorry! I didn’t know that I was Madam’s daughter…… !”

Ignit, the Red Dragon who alternates between René and Light Dragon.

It was only then that I realized that the two looked similar.

Have you not heard that Kwangryong has a daughter?

Even so, it is a truly stupid dragon.

When Renee grew older, her mother and daughter were identical to the point that she would become like a mad dragon.

I never thought I’d be able to judge facts that would have been obvious if I looked more closely, just by looking at the presence or absence of horns and lineage.

It was like a knothole.

“Do you know that just because you didn’t know, it’s not something to just ignore?”

“Of course! With all my sincerity, I deeply apologize to madam!”

Ignite bowed his head in front of Kwangryong and begged for forgiveness.

I didn’t like his attitude.

“If you truly reflect, shouldn’t you apologize to Renée before Gwangryong?”

At my sudden complaint, Ignit turned his head and glared at me.

I didn’t care about the dragon’s gaze full of murderous intent, and I also widened my eyes.

It is not that there is no reluctance to act against the pinnacle of the species.

From the dragon’s point of view, humans are fragile creatures that can be trampled on at any time.

You must not resist. If you want to live, you must obey. If you don’t act carefully, you will die, etc.

Instinctive fear ripped my body apart.

But more anger suppressed the fear.

“Can’t you hear me? Apologize to Rene first.”

“Be, Mr. Bern… !”

René was flustered and grabbed my collar. I could see the intention to stop me, but I couldn’t do it this time.

Hasn’t it been said that any animal will show its teeth when a loved one is in danger?

I know that you are inviting your own death. Still, I had no intention of stepping back.

I will bite even if my teeth are broken.

“Is a mere human ordering me now?”

“Who else is there besides you?”

“Heh heh… ! Have mercy just once. If you bow down now and apologize to me, I will forgive you for your disrespect.”

Strong, weak, weak, arrogance was piercing the sky.

The guy who appeared as the author in front of Gwangryong was an easygoing guy and straightened his back right away.

Typically one of the types I hate.

I didn’t want to bow my head to this guy even after searching, so I returned the answer with my middle finger.

Eat some shit.

“You mean to kick my mercy.”

Colorful blood vessels protruded from Ignit’s forehead.

I was determined to burn myself to death right away, but it wouldn’t be easy.

Because he had something to do first.

“You are the one who kicked mercy.”

“Kuhup?!”

Kwajik-!

Gwangryong strongly stepped on the head of Ignit, who was looking back.

With the sound of his nose bones snapping, he lay his face on the ground.

It looked like a puppies.

“I get angry at the mere interruption of a harmonious time with my family, so why are you talking about mercy in front of me?”

“… Queue!”

“Apologize to my daughter and get out of her nest. Otherwise, I will call you and the Nibelungs.”

Ignit’s body began to tremble at the specific words Kwangryong mentioned.

Song of the Nibelung.

This is a story that tells the story of Siegfried the Dragon Slayer. In this world, it means dragon slaughter.

In other words, calling Nibelung together means that dragons risk their lives to fight.

“Dah, should I apologize to your daughter?”

“Are you trying to make me think twice?”

“…… Fix it I will admit my vices and apologize.”

As soon as I removed the foot that was crushing his head, Ignit jumped to his feet.

He watched him intently to see how he would apologize.

“I’m sorry.”

“Me, that shit?”

Ignite only nodded his head at Renee, then spread his wings.

Then he flew up into the sky as if he were running away.

Definitely not an apology, Section 4.

I sincerely apologized to Gwangryong, but meant that I couldn’t do that to Renee.

I looked at Gwangryong and asked if Ignit would let Ignit escape.

But she only grimaced. She didn’t go further than that.

[As there is a saying that a dragon’s word affects the world, they value words. No matter how sincere it is, I accept that I apologized.]

‘That’s so damn good.’

[What should we do when there are many frustrating rules in the world of dragons? More than that, Contractor, it doesn’t seem like that’s what you need to be concerned about right now.]

‘What are you talking about? That little lizard made fun of Renee. What could be more serious than that!”

[Look at the sky.]

Following Prach’s words, Ignit returned to his original form when he looked up at his head.

He narrowed his brows and stared at me with his eyes wide open.

He’s a bad friend.

Looks like I’m being annoyed. But he couldn’t do anything about me right now.

If you go in to kill me at the Guangryong’s nest, even while the owner of the realm is watching, then you’ll have to risk your life for real.

Toward him who couldn’t do me any harm, I only raised one corner of my mouth and laughed.

“Human, someday I will definitely chew on your bones and flesh… !”

Ignit turned his back, leaving behind words filled with anger.

Looking at his back as he left, I felt bitter instead of exhilarated.

Besides complaining and provoking, the fact that I couldn’t do anything was futile.

‘Prah.’

[Why is that?]

‘I have a new goal.’

[Oh, what is the goal?]

‘I want to become strong enough to deal with dragons.’

[Didn’t you value living a peaceful life rather than becoming stronger?]

‘It was. But now I’ve changed my mind. Even though Renee was hurt, I couldn’t stand up confidently. I don’t want to do that anymore.’

What if I had the power to face the dragon?

Rather than watching the situation, he must have punched Ignit in the face or stabbed him with a knife.

However, my inadequacies created hesitation. It was embarrassing enough to make me angry with myself.

[It will be a rough road to become strong enough to face the dragon.]

‘It doesn’t matter. I didn’t say these words to become stronger for nothing.’

[You have a great mindset. So, did you come up with a way to become stronger?]

‘First of all, I will collect demonic swords from all over the world and recreate you as the original demonic sword.’

[It’s a wise idea, but you know that it’s not enough, right?]

‘Of course.’

To become a little stronger.

I intended to travel all over the kingdom and absorb any chance that came from Adog Choi.

In that case, Kang Jun-hyeok’s heyday will come later than the original work…….

‘I gave you Pingchang, so it’ll be fine.’

I decided to become stronger at all costs in order to rip Ignit’s head off.
