Chapter 13
13 – Get away from her (7)
I couldn’t protect my master.
I was just looking at the owner who fell off the cliff.
I swore I would always protect you.
I did my best up to now with the single thought that I never want to lose my master again.
I never left his side for a moment.
When you are in the woods, when you arrive in the capital, when you eat, when you take a bath.
I was watching everything. Was guarded from afar.
But a while ago, I made an irreversible mistake.
Concentrating on the monster in front of me, I didn’t expect the floor to collapse.
When I noticed the situation, it was already too late.
I reached out my hand late, but I couldn’t reach the owner.
Before he even jumped in, a huge rock immediately blocked the way.
After everything happened, only one person came to mind.
‘Goddess.’
Everything is the work of the goddess. By using her “System”, She tore the gap between herself and him.
Otherwise, such a contrived situation would not have happened.
As the thought went all the way to that point, her head became cold.
She must return to him.
I didn’t even have time to get angry for that.
‘I’m happy though.’
Probably the master will be fine.
At the moment of falling, I caught my eye as Yongin hugged his master and cast fall magic.
‘How dare you know the master in your arms.’
His embrace is only for himself.
It was very unpleasant to hug the master with such a dirty body, but thanks to him, the master was not hurt, so I decided to put up with it for now.
‘I have to go down and protect you.’
I raised my sword to break the rocks.
“Kurre…”
As I pulled out my sword, I started hearing the cries of numerous monsters behind my back.
The group was glaring at me with a weird scream.
Now she knew what kind of situation she was facing.
If you break the rocks and go down, the monsters will chase you down.
On the contrary, it is a situation that may push the owner into more trouble.
“Ha ha…”
I couldn’t help but laugh. In other words, it is a dilemma.
I was filled with irritation from head to toe. A rage so great that I lost consciousness took over my mind.
Since the day he destroyed the heavens, he decided that he would never let go of his reason again.
I always wanted to show a bright side in front of him.
It was clear that he would be disappointed if he saw his true form.
That’s why I could never tell you the truth.
I’d rather be a liar for the rest of my life.
In order to always show only the image that the owner likes.
I don’t want to show myself who has turned into a monster.
“But.”
Why are they blocking me?
Am I trampling on my wish to just show the master a consistent image?
I slowly looked around the monster in front of me.
There are a few, but most of them are nothing but opponents.
“Only you,”
To separate me and him.
Looking back, it was too soft a thought.
I acted with the complacency of wanting to show the owner only the beautiful side.
As a result, I broke up with my master.
I fell from his side.
It is a mistake that no one can blame.
But there was no more fuss.
“I’m sorry. Master.”
I have broken my promise again.
The long sword was hung long.
I grabbed the dagger that was on my leg and held it in reverse.
After meeting him, I vowed never to use it again.
‘As much as now without the master.’
For a while, I decided to go back to being a monster.
“Erina!”
She couldn’t ignore me.
But no matter how long she waited, her voice did not return.
I and the nameless dragon fell off the cliff, but Erina was still on top.
She thought she would come down with her at first, but as time passed, she didn’t see her.
Probably a while ago, we were fighting a horde of monsters that stood in our way.
‘If it’s Erina, you’ll be fine.’
I don’t think she would have been hit by an enemy.
In fact, Erina was strong enough to wipe out all the monsters.
But right now the nameless dragon was dying.
I was barely holding on to a breath that could not be extinguished.
‘How do I do it?’
It was right to wait for Erina like this.
But you never know when she will come down.
I looked back on the situation a while ago.
An unnamed dragon suddenly appeared.
The demon lords besieged us.
And the floor suddenly collapsed.
A battle designed to face an unwinnable enemy and run away unconditionally. This is an occasional event in the game.
It fits the current situation exactly.
No matter how many times it was played, the army of monsters I had just encountered could never be defeated.
Then the floor suddenly collapsed.
In other words, it was highly likely that the correct route was to deliberately fall down.
‘Fortunately, it’s not a bad ending.’
It is not yet time to give up hope.
Rather, it was taken as a sign that the event was proceeding normally.
What should I do now? There were two ways.
Hana waits for Erina to come down.
Two, the nameless dragon and find the exit and move forward.
Of course, it was safest to wait for Erina like this.
But I didn’t know when she would come down.
Leaving it still like this, the nameless dragon could fall or be isolated by a monster coming from the other side.
Then, should I find an exit first?
It was dark inside the cave, but a faint light was shining from somewhere.
It means that the exit is nearby.
But I couldn’t move forward blindly.
If you move somehow, you will be able to find an exit.
But you don’t know how far you can move with the wounded.
It’s a problem even going out.
This place is far from the capital, so there is a possibility of being attacked by monsters.
‘How do I do it?’
You have two options. Go ahead like this or wait for Erina.
After thinking for a while, I heard a voice calling me.
“There…”
The nameless dragon reached out his hand towards me, barely covering his head.
It is in such a miserable state that it is difficult to even look at it.
It will be painful to even speak.
Still, she was calling me.
He hurried to her side and brought her ear close to her.
She muttered in my ear with a voice full of resignation.
“Leave me and run away…”
He immediately shook his head.
I couldn’t lose the nameless dragon in vain like this.
I had to save her.
“I’m not going anywhere.”
And I already owe her her life.
It was only thanks to her that she was able to survive the cliff safely.
If she had been alone, she must have been seriously injured.
I wanted to rescue the nameless dragon no matter what.
I received her grace and could not pretend not to know.
“You really…”
Suddenly she makes a sad expression that looks like she’s about to cry.
She felt anxious as she looked like she was about to give up her life at any moment.
“Thank you…”
The nameless dragon was no longer against me.
In the beginning, I was the only person I could rely on in such a situation.
She was so hurt that she couldn’t move her body on her own, and she only trusted me.
Responsibility rested on her shoulder. The more she did, the more she had to come to her senses.
“Can I get up for now?”
I carefully lifted her up and made her lean against the wall.
And she took off her coat and covered it.
“I will look around and come.”
I got up with a sword and a shield. Once I decided to leave her alone and explore her surroundings.
I tried to look around her to see if I could get some water.
“No,”
I heard a voice from somewhere. It was the voice of a strange man I had never heard before.
“You don’t have to move.”
At the same time, there was a sound of breaking the wind in the air.
“What?!”
Instinctively raised the shield.
Something hit the shield and bounced off.
There were no projectiles. In other words, the identity of the flying object is magic.
‘Wind Cutter!’
Wind-type attack magic.
Among them, the wind cutter was only a sub-skill.
But I just felt different.
For a moment, my arm numbed even though I blocked it accurately with a shield.
“Who are you? Like this dog…!”
Before I could finish my words, Inyoung appeared from the darkness.
“Don’t shout like that. I won’t run away like you.”
Blonde hair caught my eye with a languid voice.
The dagger in her hand was spinning while in a gritty posture.
‘Damn…’
From noble mtl dot com
I prayed it wasn’t please. From the time the nameless dragon appeared, I prayed that this guy would not appear.
But I realized once again that my luck was the worst.
“Alfred.”
“Huh? Do you know me?”
There was no way he could not have known the man in front of him.
Among the bosses you can meet in the game, the worst opponent has appeared.
“Yes. I am a little famous.”
The opponent in front of you is Alfred.
One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King and the master of the nameless dragon.
