Silver Dragon Legend – Episode 84
Jehwa, who had been plummeting toward the ground, steadied himself mid-air and landed safely.
“What?”
Just as Jarcken made a bewildered expression at that sight…….
“Uraaaaaaaah!”
(Kwooooooooh!)
Jehwa unleashed a mighty roar toward the sky. And overlapping with Jehwa’s roar came the sound of a dragon’s roar.
Kwoong!
“Silver Demon Rage!”
Jehwa executed a great roll across the ground and used Silver Demon Rage. Along with it, Jehwa’s two fists began to glow with a silver light.
“Eat this! Drop dead!”
Kwagagagang!
“Keuk!”
Jarcken, who had blocked Jehwa’s fist, was horrified.
“What do you mean, applying a Dragon Slayer Technique like this! To think you’d let a Dragon Slayer Technique dwell directly in both arms!”
“If you have a complaint, die and file it!”
Kwaang! Kwaang!
The Silver Demon Rage Jehwa had used did not disperse, instead remaining in Jehwa’s fists. Because Jehwa was not a dragon but a human, he was applying a Dragon Slayer Technique in a way that not even dragons could.
Baffled by the never-before-seen attack method and gradually being pushed back, Jarcken allowed Jehwa to land a blow in that instant.
Ppeog!
“Geok!”
Jehwa’s fist buried itself in Jarcken’s abdomen, and with a smirk, Jehwa plunged his remaining arm into Jarcken’s abdomen as well.
“Keuk!”
Blood trickled from Jarcken’s mouth.
“Eat this! Get lost!”
Kwagagagang!
In that instant, Jehwa detonated the Silver Demon Rage energy coiled in his arm. As he did, an effect identical to a normal Silver Demon Rage erupted outward.
“Kuaak!”
Struck head-on, Jarcken screamed and was sent flying.
“Hahahahaha! I won!”
Though it had been the fiercest, Jehwa’s battle ended the fastest.
With such large techniques going off several times, the fight had no choice but to end quickly…….
As Jehwa rejoiced, he flinched, feeling an ominous aura from behind.
“Who said you won?”
“Huh?”
At the gloomy voice, Jehwa turned his head. There, Jarcken stood smiling.
But that was not Jarcken.
“Who are you?”
“Me? Hmm……. I suppose you’d call me a personality created by this body? Anyway, I’ve fed well on hatred and blood until now. That created the personality known as me. I suppressed that bastard and took over.”
Though he spoke with a grin, Jehwa’s instincts told him this guy was extremely dangerous.
“Thank you, young Silver Dragon. Thanks to you rampaging, this guy desperately stuffed even more blood and hatred into the Demon God’s jewel. So, in the sense of repaying you…….”
“You’re gonna give me something tasty?”
The moment Jehwa tilted his head at the word ‘repaying,’ that thing burst into laughter at the sight.
“Hahaha! Of course not.”
The soft smile on its face twisted into a mad grin.
“You just have to die.”
Ppa-ak!
Its fist plunged into Jehwa.
“Keureok!”
Gripped by the collar and held up by it, Jehwa coughed up blood.
“Ah, it hurts…….”
“Oooh! You have a human body?”
Regardless of whether Jehwa muttered blankly, it looked at Jehwa’s body with genuine fascination.
“How can you possess a human body while having dragon mana and Dragon Fighting Aura? How can you bleed human blood?”
After examining Jehwa this way and that as if fascinated, it smiled brightly.
“Hahaha! Amazing. To think I’d find such a strong human. Hmm……. And the energy of a Silver Dragon, at that. I wonder what kind of power it will bring me?”
If he were human, he could strengthen his power with the blood of the one before him.
Moreover, if it were a human with such a powerful body and soul, perhaps he could awaken himself into a being with strength close to a Demon King in one fell swoop.
“Ahh! If you were a woman, I’d play with you longer and kill you once I’d grown stronger, but unfortunately, I have no interest in men.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Hahaha! A child doesn’t need to know.”
At Jehwa’s frowning words, it laughed cheerfully. Though this was by no means a cheerful situation.
“Hmm……. It would be better if you had hatred… but you’re too pure. You don’t have any feelings of loathing for anyone.”
“Hmm……. I hate you.”
“Hahahaha! So pure.”
After pondering its words for a moment, Jehwa spoke with a serious face.
To think he could say such a thing with a straight face in this situation—Jehwa truly was an incredible one as well.
A moment later, the being that had been tilting its head reached a conclusion.
“That’s it! If I kill someone close to you, you’ll surely get angry, furious, and hateful!”
“Hmm? Is that how it works?”
“Well then, hmm……. I’ll kill those ones fighting over there later……. Shall I start by killing the humans nearby?”
Smiling brightly, it began flying toward where the humans were.
The humans were currently engaged in fierce combat. They hated and loathed one another, not hesitating in the slightest to kill.
As if greatly pleased by that scene, it nodded.
“Oooh! What a desirable scene! You should watch and learn from this too.”
“It’s pretty ugly, so I’d rather not learn it…….”
“Hmm? Hahahaha! I really like you. It’s almost a waste to kill you.”
It acted friendly toward Jehwa as if they were old friends.
Of course, the fact that it would kill Jehwa remained unchanged.
‘I can’t put any strength into it.’
Suppressed by its power from earlier, Jehwa had been unable to use his strength properly. If he could use his strength right now, Jehwa would kill it.
“Ah! J-Jehwa!”
Then, a bewildered voice rang out.
Naturally, its gaze—as well as Jehwa’s—turned toward that spot.
There, Sawollin was looking at Jehwa and that thing with a horrified expression.
“Do you know each other?”
As it tilted its head, Sawollin shouted.
“You! Let Jehwa go!”
“Heeh……. He must be very precious to you?”
At Sawollin’s words, it let out an exclamation. In response, Sawollin radiated killing intent.
“Of course! He’s my precious person!”
“Really? Then!”
It burst into a bright smile.
Puwuk!
“……?”
“Die and make this guy angry. Make him hate me.”
“Keok! Keuleok!”
Sawollin, her chest pierced in an instant, coughed up blood.
“D-damn it……. Again…….”
Sawollin crumpled to the ground, her face contorting. Even as she fell, she gazed blankly at Jehwa.
‘Your name……. I never even got to hear it…….’
As Sawollin muttered blankly inwardly, her consciousness gradually faded.
“…….”
Jehwa stared blankly at that sight.
She fell again.
‘Why?’
Before, too, she had died shielding him exactly like this.
Why? For what reason? Even though she was far weaker than he.
Jehwa could never understand that. He couldn’t even be bothered to understand it. Yet she died like that again.
“Are you okay?”
When Jehwa asked blankly, Sawollin gave no answer.
“Hey.”
The last time, she had been pierced through the stomach and hadn’t even realized she was falling. Hong Yuhwa hadn’t killed her instantly either.
But this time, Sawollin……. died instantly.
“Hey.”
Jehwa called out to Sawollin once more.
A smiling face no different from usual.
“Huh? You’re not reacting. Tch! Then another per—”
Grumbling as it watched, it suddenly flinched and let go of Jehwa’s collar.
“What?”
With a bewildered face, it tried to recall the terror its body had just felt.
A cold feeling chilling enough to raise goosebumps just from thinking about it.
It looked at Jehwa, but he was still a mess from its beating and couldn’t even walk properly.
Jehwa crawled over on his hands and knees and shook Sawollin.
“Hey, what’s wrong? You survived last time, didn’t you? Hmm? Ah, should I freeze your body to stop the wound?”
Jehwa blankly froze Sawollin’s wound, but her heart no longer beat.
“Should I call that guy?”
Mumbled Jehwa blankly.
“Hmm? Wake up.”
Jehwa shook Sawollin’s body once more.
His hands trembled violently as he shook her corpse.
“Get up…….”
Jehwa spoke as if pleading.
“P-please…….”
Jehwa hung his head low.
“Open your eyes again.”
Her heart… Sawollin’s heart……. never beat again.
“Ah……. Ha……. Hahaha.”
She……
“Ahahahahahahaha! Euhahahahahahaha!”
……was dead.
“Hahahaha……. Aaaack! Ah……. Eu……. Eu! Euaaaaaaaaaaaack!”
The young Silver Dragon let out a scream of agony.
“Oh! Bingo! I hit the mark!”
Watching that sight, it burst into a bright smile and rejoiced.
The one before its eyes was truly angry, sorrowful, shrieking, and hateful.
The exact situation it had wanted.
Just as it was approaching Jehwa to search for its next prey, Jehwa looked at it……. And it felt goosebumps rise across its entire body.
He was smiling. Though his heart was being torn apart and his face should have been contorted in pain, this foolish Silver Dragon didn’t know how to do that… and was simply smiling brightly.
Jehwa rose from his spot.
Deop-seok!
“Huh?”
Kwagagagang!
“Keok!”
Before it knew it, Jehwa had smashed its head into the ground.
