Became a Hatchling of the Grand Duke of the North

92 – Dragons, Demons, and Rats (1)

“Quaaagh!!”

Hans let out a scream of pain.

The limbs were torn apart in an instant.

Her skin and muscles peeled off, and red muscles and blood splattered like a fountain, soaking the ratmen.

All Hans could do was scream in pain.

[Gogii-!]

[Buy! Province! Give me the liver!]

The smell of blood thick enough to paralyze the sense of smell, and the screams of excited ratmen.

“Hmm. It’s all right.”

In the meantime, even Hans’ screams cut off at some point.

The man in the crow mask who watched the scene turned his back in satisfaction.

“This should calm me down for at least three or four hours.”

Basically, because of their active activity and desire to breed, rat men were monsters who felt a voracious hunger that was incomparable to humans all year round.

The crow mask was also the reason why they picked out large adult men and brought them here.

Because the fasting period is extremely short, if three or four hours pass, you will lose your temper and get excited again.

It didn’t matter to him anyway.

This was the basement of the imperial capital.

A large city with the largest number of people on the continent.

People exist in abundance, and there is also meat to fill Ratman’s stomach as much as that number.

As much as that, I was able to drag people down at any time. It was just that the process had to be a little careful and covert.

Of course, it was the best choice to move before that, if possible.

If they lost their temper, their feet would move recklessly without any discernment.

Even the one who raised them himself was the one to stick his teeth into.

At most, it had been resident and called for numbers for the past time, but now it was impossible to go wrong.

Once you start multiplying, the number of ratmen will start to increase explosively.

Recognize the place as a nest and start laying offspring.

The overthrow of this capital where the emperor resides.

It was also the reason why the crow mask always resided here.

Soon, his white teeth were exposed.

“The humans here are enough to rip the barrier.”

The man in the crow mask was about to burst into laughter as he recalled what was about to happen.

That moment.

Puck.

It was an instant.

The arm of the man wearing the crow mask flew away without a shape.

“Hmm?”

The crow mask sluggishly looked at my right wrist.

Blood dripped like black ink, and it was seen that his wrist had been blown off.

“Oh, my God. This?”

That moment.

The body of the masked man who had lost his arm seemed to start to crumble.

Like fluttering leaves, they slowly transformed into dozens and hundreds of crows and began to scatter.

[aaah!!]

[aaah!!]

A flock of howling crows soared above the dimly lit hollow.

The flapping of countless crows’ wings busily resounded in this dim cavity.

The numerous crows that scattered their enormous presence with their pupils shining red opened their mouths at the same time.

[It looks like an uninvited guest came.]

[It looks like an uninvited guest came.]

[It looks like an uninvited guest came.]

It was as he said.

Without someone’s intentional intrusion, this was a place that could never be entered.

This was the center of the scene where the Cult of Shadows implemented a spell of cognitive disturbance that obstructs the opponent’s perception over a long period of time.

Ordinary beings would never be able to step in or even look at this place.

To the general public, this place will look like a space that is no different than a wall.

Soon, the eyes of the numerous crows began to search through the darkness around them, and soon, as if they had promised, all eyes turned in one direction at the same time.

A group of crows opened their beaks in unison and shouted.

[Found it.]

[Found it.]

[Found it.]

A seungnyangi, a special soldier belonging to the imperial special forces, hid in the darkness on the other side and blew off his left arm.

As he met their eyes, he pointed his gun at him without answering.

Soon, his muzzle was fired at countless flocks of crows, spitting fire.

* * * *

On the other hand, at the same time.

Guardian dragons Han and Lucia had an early dismissal from the academy.

It was still around noon, but they returned to the dormitory because the academy advised them to dismiss the school early.

Han’s gaze, as if he was coiled up by the window, was curled up.

In the training hall of the dormitory, her gaze was directed towards Lucia, who was wielding a sword in full swing.

Lucia. His contractor, she was still beautiful today.

Her hair, drenched in sweat from the early sun, was whiter than usual, as if reflecting the sunlight.

As if he noticed Han’s gaze.

Soon, Lucia, who was swinging her sword in the middle of it, headed towards him.

She stops her movements for a moment and then she is seen waving her hand at him. It was nice to see him smiling.

[Kiii.]

Han also responded briefly as if responding to her appearance.

A light cry came out spontaneously, and his tail waggled a couple of times.

Perhaps, if she had an excellent sense of humor, this small voice would have been enough to hear his response.

Lucia, who seemed to have noticed right away, began to focus on her swordsmanship training while holding onto her sword again.

Han, the guardian dragon, now turned his gaze to the other side.

You can see the streets of the capital.

The dormitory he was in was a high-rise building built on a relatively high elevation within the academy.

For this reason, the streets of the capital could be seen at a glance when one’s eyes were directed to the other side.

However, despite the early hours, the streets were relatively quiet.

I could hardly see the appearance of the cadets.

Even at such an early lunch hour, the academy cadets were always present everywhere.

However, that was not the case today.

That would have meant that no one would come out of their dorms or houses shut up.

‘Perhaps everyone feels that something is unusual.’

It was a situation where even such an urgent broadcast was sent to the school as it was.

In the meantime, the figures of Princess Rachel and Lucia, who were surrounded and retreated as if they were being protected by the faculty, were added.

The cadets who witnessed the situation at the time could safely assume that something must have happened.

In fact, the current guardian dragons, Han and Lucia, weren’t the only ones here.

A few escorts were already attached to them.

Her Lucia, who was still at her cadet level, didn’t seem to notice it, but as long as she was sensitive to the signs of mana and her power of existence, it wasn’t.

[…]

Han’s eyes wandered through the bushes.

There were several knights from the Imperial Guard who were quietly hiding and hiding.

Once our eyes met, they slowly lowered their heads as if to say hello, and then, more carefully, I could see them disappearing as if they were filtering through the bushes.

Despite being well over a hundred meters farther away, they clearly felt and saw each other’s appearance and presence.

Guardian dragon limits, even those knights.

It must have been because all of them had excellent talents in manipulating magic.

‘As expected, there is something. Something must have happened here.’

Han, the guardian dragon, felt something strange.

Of course, today was a strange day.

From the appearance of Ratman, the monster with the long tail we encountered last night.

From the early end of the academy to the 3rd princess Rachel’s dismissal from school.

However, the sensation Han was feeling at this moment was of a completely different nature.

‘What is this?’

Something is strange.

I feel like it’s a bit annoying during the year.

Should I describe it as the feeling of small parasites or bugs passing by somewhere in my body?

Took. Took.

Han hit the floor a couple of times with his long tail.

Down there.

From the ground, not from the ground.

Something distinctly felt as if tapping his senses.

[Kiii…]

Guardian dragon Han’s eyes narrowed.

It’s clear. From within the ground.

I felt something.

But soon, what happened?

Puong.

Below the ground in this capital where they stand tall.

I felt strong vibrations, like an earthquake or explosion. It was literally an instant sensation.

‘What is this again?’

When that sudden sensation passed by the guardian dragon Han.

He stood up in amazement from his seat.

‘What’s going on down there?’

Something didn’t feel very good.

Han felt a strong urge that he must confirm.

After a while, when a strong wind blew.

He was no longer in the dorm.
