Became an Evil Dragon

23 – 23. Plateau

“Get off now. If it doesn’t disappear from my sight now.”

He brought his face menacingly closer and warned the fairy. The fairy was crying silently.

“A mere stupid insignificant creature that does not know its place.”

Think about what to say next.

Nineveh has to say something hurtful and make sure she never comes here again.

Seeing Nineveh’s miserable figure crying, my weakened heart tried to stop me from saying harsh words, but I ignored it.

“I’ll turn it into ashes.”

Nineveh raised her beautiful hand and wiped away the random tears.

But no matter how much she wiped it away, Nineveh’s tears continued to flow.

The fairy’s eyes were stained red.

Eyes swollen from crying so much.

“good.”

Hey, she heard me, then slowly turned around and started trudging out of the cave.

Nineve, who was walking slowly, stopped in place and kept looking back.

On the way Nineveh looked back several times, in case I called her again, but I did not stop her.

I just turned my head and sat there quietly.

“Yong-ah… Yong-ah… I, better… I… Yong-ah. better…”

Nineve reached the entrance of the cave and when I finally stopped holding her, she turned and stopped right before leaving.

and appealed to me

She muttered in a voice that could not be properly pronounced as if she was crying, begging me for wrongdoing.

“Huh… I was wrong… Nineve, Nineve was wrong… I was wrong… Huh… Yong-ah, I, Naa, can’t I go…? I was wrong… hig.”

She just begged me, not knowing what she had done wrong.

But the more I did, the more I turned my head and crouched down. I sat with my back turned, as if I couldn’t hear Nineveh’s weeping pleas, with an invisible barrier between her and me.

Ignore the crying fairy.

“I wrote it wrong, because it was wrong… I mean, I mean, I can’t meet the dragon…”

Nineve stood at the entrance of the cave and begged me for a long time, shedding tears, but I did not respond.

“…….”

After a long time passes, Nineveh’s constant cries are no longer heard. It was only then that I quietly lifted my lowered head and slightly opened my closed eyes to check the entrance of the cave.

empty cave.

The weeping fairy was no longer there.

All that remained were the traces of the fairy’s tears that had fallen to the floor, and her tearful plea that continued to linger in the cave and in my heart.

My heart is empty.

Oddly enough, I didn’t feel much guilt.

It’s just that something keeps poking at my heart, and it’s unbearably annoying.

annoying I mean, it’s annoying.

I felt the urge to destroy everything around me, but I held it back and lowered my head again.

As if nothing had happened.

After sleeping, if you fall into a deep sleep, you will be able to forget everything.

The little fairy who resented the dragon would soon be forgotten. Because it’s nothing anyway.

A noble dragon is inherently lonely. A dragon, a perfect being, is a creature that does not know anything about loneliness. No insignificant little sprite can get on a dragon’s nerves.

It was nothing special. It’s such a trivial thing that it all becomes nothing after sleeping.

Obviously it will.

***

Fairy.

Sparkling pranksters, bad boys who pursue only pleasure, regardless of good or evil.

Beings that seem to embody the mischievous playfulness of a child.

Fairies also lived in the highlands of the mountains, where dragons, giants, old tree spirits, and some strange silver-haired fairy lived.

Playing pranks every day.

Day and night, these little rascals the size of the palm of your hand, with shiny wings, enjoyed playing tricks on various beings by flying everywhere.

Of course, the troublemakers never enjoyed the prank, but the fairies didn’t care too much about it.

what do you mean know

In the middle of the night, the little rascals whispered in the ears of the sleeping wolves of the highlands, wah! He was woken up by screaming, and a huge wild boar even secretly stole and ate the emergency food he had stored in his tunnel.

Of course, aiming for the time when the wild boar was away. If caught, it was obvious that the wild boar, who had discovered the thief, would charge madly and furiously.

It risks its life by pushing foxtails into the nostrils of sleeping giants and tickling them before running away. Sometimes, it sneaks into the camps of passing adventurers and steals items from their backpacks.

Of course, the fairies didn’t always play pranks on others. Besides teasing pranks, fairies were a race that loved dancing, gossip, and songs.

Sometimes, on midsummer nights with a cold blue moon, they danced and sang all night under the stars on mushrooms of just the right size, and ate nectar and pollen while hovering over flowers that bloomed brightly in season.

Fairies lived like that.

However, there was one existence that even the mischievous fairies of the highlands would never touch, and that existence was the king of the mountains, the ferocious monster in the cave.

Dragon in the cave.

red dragon.

The animals and spirits got angry at the moment when the fairies joked around and passed on, so the fairies were able to continue playing pranks on them.

However, this could not be done with the dragon. If you play a prank on the dragon, the tyrant of the mountain range, it will turn into a well-cooked fairy in no time.

The fairies’ escape skills were excellent enough to play pranks on giants and animals and escape safely, but it was obvious that they would not work against a dragon with its keen senses, memory, and physical ability.

That’s why the fairies of the highlands were afraid of the red dragon. And while fearing the dragon, he was aiming for the dragon’s cave.

Because the dragon’s cave was full of magic crystals that fairies were greedy for. Crystals that emit their own light and possess mysterious powers.

Those crystals, which were full of the power of the earth, were treasures that the fairy would be greedy for.

However, the red dragon did not come out of the cave easily, and the fairies always had no choice but to give up attacking the cave.

It was impossible to know in advance when the dragon would come out, and even if you happened to know that the dragon had gone out, you couldn’t go inside the cave unless you knew when the dragon that had left would come back.

Fairies are very afraid of dragons, so they treated dragons and dragon caves very carefully unlike other problems.

“I want to have a shiny crystal!”

One of the fairies complained while flying irregularly. Soon after, another fairy flew in with a screeching voice.

“There is a red dragon! you idiot!”

“If it wasn’t for that dragon, all the shiny crystals would be ours! Whoa..!”

bung bung.

The very angry Fairy shook her wings. Then, an unknown glittering powder fell from the fairy’s wings.

Acquire! Acquire!

The other fairies under that fairy inhaled the powder as it was and repeated their sneezing.

The fairy who was sitting on the branch laughed as she saw it. Fairy laughed for a long time at what was so enjoyable, and then opened her mouth as if something came to mind.

“Right, what happened to that dirty idiot?”

“What fool?”

“Hey! That strange snoring guy who always wants to see us and play together!”

“ah! Dirty Nineveh!”

The fairy who was listening to the story was amazed as if she realized who she was talking about.

The identity of the fairy who was sitting on a tree branch, speaking with contempt, was the silver-haired fairy, Nineve.

“I don’t know! I think he’s been bothering me the other day, so I thought he’d play with him if we brought him some shiny crystals. How did it go? Did you go to the real cave? Didn’t you succeed in bringing the sparkling crystal?”

“How did that dirty thing get the shiny crystal? Nineveh, stupid and stupid, can’t even scream and will be eaten by the red dragon in one fell swoop! Oh, then, while Nineveh is being eaten by the dragon, you can steal the sparkling crystal! Ahahahaha!”

“Hey, you should know. I also told you where the dragon’s cave is, so don’t you think we’ll be happy to play with you if we bring it back somehow? Then, it doesn’t matter whether you get eaten by the dragon or not.”

The fairy who was sitting on the branch laughed and said. And the other fairies who heard what the fairy said laughed at the same time as if they had heard something funny.

“uh? Isn’t that stupid Nineve?”

One of the fairies, who had been laughing for a while, reached out and pointed somewhere. At the place her fingertips were pointing at, there was a silver-haired fairy walking away, weeping at what had happened.

The fairies all smiled maliciously at the same time, as if they had found a fun prank.
