How to Live as a Half-Dragon

114. disturbance

“Nice to meet you… .”

Rugrant, who quickly closed the distance towards the man who bowed lightly, lowered his sword.

Caan.

Unfortunately, however, the transparent shield prevented it.

The man said as Lugrant frowned upon checking the sword that had bounced off without fulfilling its purpose.

“Your welcome is quite radical, the head of Alteon.”

“… What are you trying to do, if you do this, you won’t be able to lay a hand on me either.”

One corner of the man’s mouth went up slightly as he glanced at the small space where he was imprisoned.

“In the first place, I had no intention of doing anything to the head of the family, because I would have to take a lot of risks to do so… .”

It was at that time that doubts appeared on the expression of Lugrant, who was convinced that there was another purpose.

Koo Goo Goo Palace.

The surrounding ground began to shake with a loud noise.

“It seems to have started slowly.”

“Has it started?”

“I hope you have a pleasant viewing outside.”

A huge pillar of light shot up into the sky with a flash of light.

In addition to the office where Lugrant was isolated, the place where Winster and the man clashed. A similar pillar of light also rose from the far north forest.

And soon after the pillars of light disappeared in order, Lugrant no longer existed inside the Alteon family.

“It’s over.”

It was then that the man turned around after confirming that everything had gone according to plan.

squeak.

The man’s right arm holding the artifact was neatly cut off.

Grabbing his bloody shoulder, he turned around to see who had perpetrated the current horror.

“You appeared unexpectedly quickly, Sara Alteon.”

With her purple hair flying and spraying ferocious energy, she was a strong person comparable to Lugrant, whom I had encountered earlier.

‘No, it might be more than that.’

However, the man who was put on the defensive was confident.

It was an opponent whose victory could not be guaranteed even if they faced each other in normal condition…

“You should have cut your throat a little while ago.”

“… … .”

Sarah checked her arm on the floor, probably because the man’s composure bothered her.

The pillar of light from before, it must have been caused by that artifact.

Then I cut it off the guy’s arm and separated it from his body.

‘But why… ?’

The man was quite strong, but the opponent had already lost an arm.

It wasn’t to the extent of threatening him.

At least that’s what Sara judged.

It was a time when I could hardly understand the composure of a man.

Sarah’s eyes filled with disbelief.

“The artifact has been activated… ?”

A translucent membrane was formed.

said the man

“It was close. If I had reacted a little too late, it would have been me.”

Right before cutting off his arm, it seemed that he had activated the artifact.

As before, another pillar of light rose high into the sky.

When Sara disappeared with the pillar of light, the man retrieved the artifact along with the arm.

When the arm was attached to the amputation, an amazing thing happened.

The amputated arm quickly healed and was sutured.

It was the moment he was about to smile, as if checking his arm that was moving normally.

Stumble.

he wrinkled his face

‘It’s a more unpleasant sensation than I thought. Dragon life… .’

The dizziness subsided after a while, and he got up from his knees.

He said that he found his free time again.

“Anyway, this is an unexpected situation… .”

Sara should have died today in Alteon’s mansion.

However, since it was a sudden attack, she had no choice but to blow it up with an artifact like the others.

Fortunately, I know roughly the direction she flew.

It was a matter of dealing with her separately after cleaning up Alteon, so there was no big problem.

“Now, let’s finish the rest.”

* * *

Even that day, Alteon was peaceful.

It was as usual until white pillars of light erupted from all over the mansion out of nowhere.

Knights who train hard, ladies-in-waiting who move busily in search of work.

They were spending a relaxing afternoon doing their jobs in their respective positions.

But…

“That light… ?”

Likewise, Stain, who was training as usual, wrinkled his expression.

It was because of the pillar of light that suddenly rose from the mansion.

And that wasn’t all.

Soon after, when a pillar of light was discovered at the hut at the end of the forest in the north, Stain instinctively sensed that something unusual was happening.

Stain ran to the mansion while pondering between the northern forest and the mansion.

It was because of the judgment that it would be better to grasp the situation.

‘No one?’

It can be said that the iron gate of the northern forest is always guarded by people in case of an emergency.

But somehow, no one was there.

What if something really happened to the mansion, and people rushed to work there?

There was no time to delay.

Stein’s decision was swift.

“I have no choice but to cross the wall… .”

Stain easily jumped over the wall of the northern forest with a few footwork.

It was a particularly high and solid castle, but it was a simple task for him, who had reached the physical ability of a slayer.

However, there was no reason not to do it, considering that the complicated magic devices were installed, and if you overstepped it, the security magic in the mansion would be activated and it would be annoying.

As expected, the security magic worked for Stein, who arrived on top of the castle wall, and flew in.

Stein hit the magic one after another and hurriedly ran away on top of the castle wall.

A question popped up in Stain’s head when he arrived outside the scope of the security magic.

‘But come to think of it, why didn’t the security magic respond earlier?’

Only after Stein crossed the wall did the magic work.

The magic and alarms in the mansion were only now starting to work in earnest.

If it was an attack from the outside, it should have been triggered right away, but it was strange that it didn’t work until after he had crossed the wall.

“What kind of guy… .”

Stain’s expression was filled with anger as he hurriedly ran towards the center of the mansion.

The view of the beautiful mansion was beyond words.

The flames spread here and there, and the collapsed buildings looked as if they were engulfed in war.

Guards and knights, as well as many other employees, were seriously injured and either lost consciousness or died.

‘The lord… Is your uncle all right?’

Why this situation came to be, Stain couldn’t understand with his head.

In the mansion, of course, there were Lugrant and Winster, who were comparable to the best slayers.

‘Even Sarah… .’

But somehow, the mansion was in this state now.

Stain stopped running and calmed down.

No matter what I thought about with my now heated head, there was no way it would work out.

‘Let’s calm down, Stain… .’

After taking a moment to catch my breath, my mind calmed down a bit.

“All I have to think about is getting rid of them.”

If Lugrant, Winster, and Sara were still alive, they would surely be fighting somewhere to protect Alteon.

All he had to do was do what he had to do.

Also, even if they all fell at the hands of the assailants, it was the job of the knight and vassal of Alteon to cut down the enemies until they exhausted their lack of strength.

‘thank god… .’

It was fortunate that Xian was not at the mansion today.

Even if today is the worst situation, if he is safe, Alteon can plan a successor.

He felt sad for some reason when he went out with Cecily in the morning, saying that he would go to the suburbs for a while, but apart from that, he felt comfortable before he knew it.

“Are those guys over there?”

Even now, a loud noise could be heard from one corner of the mansion.

There was also the sound of weapons and screams.

Stein started running back there.

* * *

In the center of Alteon’s mansion, there was a man with a suspicious outfit.

The man hiding under the black robe was none other than First Prince Kirsion.

There was a look of bewilderment in his eyes as he looked at the mansion of Abi Gyu-hwan itself, which was soaked in confusion.

It was because the people who trampled and crushed Alteon’s mansion with their mud feet were the Dragonians.

After grasping the situation, Kirsion’s face contorted with anger.

“Are you here? Lugrant-sama and Winster-sama are safe… .”

Pillars of light erupted from all over the mansion, and he rushed towards the man who appeared after a while.

“You tricked me!”

Even if it was a blow using Belial, it would be useless if it didn’t hit.

The man backed off and said.

“It’s like cutting a knife out of nowhere.”

“Shut up you bastard! It was my mistake for trusting your hateful tongue.”

Kirchion swung the sword imbued with Belial’s magic once again.

The man backed away again, widening the distance.

“Please calm down for now.”

“I don’t want to hear more!”

The man sighed and lifted his spirits.

Kirchion, who was about to attack fiercely, felt it and flinched.

Same as last time.

The conviction that he would be defeated if he rushed at him dominated his mind.

‘No, it’s just a trick… .’

Kirchion, who let go of his fear, struck down his sword.

“You don’t know where you are?”

“I said I wouldn’t listen anymore.”

Reluctantly, the man swung his fist at Kirchion.

He let go of his stomach in an instant and gasped in shock.

“Cheuk… .”

He almost lost consciousness with his white eyes exposed for a moment, and he let out a rough breath.

‘He wasn’t just a priest… ?’

Kirchion, who was probably thinking that way, was just about to get confused.

“Now we can have a little chat.”

At the voice he heard, Kirsion raised his head and glared at the man.

He said yes or no to Kirchion.

“I know what Confucius is angry about. It must be because they are Dragonians, right?”

“… … .”

“However, it is already too late. The people of the world will regard you as a traitor who conspired with the Dragonian. It means that it is difficult to avoid the death penalty.”

Agitations formed in Kirsion’s eyes, which were burning with anger.

“That’s your trap… !”

“Yes, that’s right. But who would think that Confucius had nothing to do with this incident?”

It was all thanks to Kirsion that they were able to enter the front gate proudly.

If even one witness remains, they will of course be accused of being the instigators.

As if to make an excuse, the result was decided.

The man said to Kirsion, who was cornered.

“After calming down, let’s look at the forest, not the trees.”

“What nonsense… .”

“If you kill all the witnesses and kill Sarah Alteon and her son, won’t everything be over? Nothing has changed. It’s just that the process is more radical than Confucius thought.”

Kirchion’s eyes caused an earthquake.

Because it was as he said.

He was the one who had come to quarantine Rugrant, Winster, and his grandfather, Harnis.

If the pillar of light had something to do with it, the general flow was not different from the original plan.

“… … .”

The man who confirmed Kirsion’s shaking eyes said,

“Then, let’s proceed with the conversation knowing that you will be with us.”

“for a moment.”

“What is?”

Kirsion said.

“Before that, are you a dragonian?”

“It can’t be.”

I don’t know if I should believe that, but that doesn’t mean Kirsion, who was cornered, had no other options.

“The people in the mansion were massacred. But if only I was alive and well, wouldn’t my father be suspicious?”

“If you clean up the mansion, those dragonians will dispose of it. There is clear evidence, so as long as you have an assortment, there will be no problem. No, you will become the hero who saved Alteon.”

The man ordered Kirsion’s subordinate knights to stand by in the vicinity of Alteon.

If the disposal of the Dragonians were to be done because of them in the future, it would have been a perfect plan.

Kirchion, who decided to take the man’s hand for greed, said.

“Okay, what can I do?”

“I think I need to leave for a while to deal with Sarah Alteon.”

“Could it be Sarah?”

“I was suddenly caught and it happened unintentionally.”

It was at that moment that Kirchion’s expression hardened.

The man moved quickly and shook off the man threatening Kirchion.

“Stain highgreaves… .”

After confirming his identity, the man said.

Well, you were there too.
