chapter 39
39 – The boy leaves the side
“…”
Where did it go wrong?
She thought about it for a long time.
It didn’t matter that I fell down a slope.
There was no way that a demon’s flutter could injure the dragon’s body.
Even dozens of well-trained knights cannot properly judge the pulse in front of him,
Even hundreds failed to captivate him.
A crude chimera that only holds a few people and was made by young people.
It was obvious to her that one simple gesture would turn her into a blood clot.
“…Huhhh…!”
Nevertheless, the red dragon was left with deep scars.
The feeling as if her heart had been grabbed and ripped out tormented her greatly.
To the boy who didn’t look back even though he shed tears,
To the loved one who coldly moved away even though I held onto him,
She had so many things to ask.
“You said you loved me. You said you loved me more than anyone else…!”
She cried like a child.
Like a girl whose confession was rejected, she could not control her emotions.
I believed that being betrayed by humans was my final sorrow,
She tore out her heart again and again at the fact that it was her first love, and not anyone else, that shattered her faith.
It was her partner who had put her own scent on her for the first time.
She wooed her hard and tried to change her mind.
If she wanted to, she would have even allowed her to touch her horns, something she was interested in when she was younger.
I despaired at the fact that everything had gone to waste, and cried again.
Until she couldn’t hide her true self.
The appearance she took because she longed for a human had already become an attempt to seduce a boy,
Nevertheless, it became difficult for her to hide her horns and tail, which she had left behind in order to protect her pride as a dragon, since she was loved by her.
That’s why she hoped to be touched by her warm hands.
She looked with those shining gray eyes at the things she had had to hide,
She wanted
To whisper that she was lovely.
She once again recalled the moment when all her expectations and dreams were shattered.
And then,
“Ugh – “
I retched as if I had chewed and swallowed a poisonous mushroom, and vomited out everything inside.
It was something that couldn’t have happened.
She was a child who always turned around and showed a sparkling smile when her name was called.
He was a lovely boy who would fall asleep while gently stroking the scales when she held his tail in his arms.
In her cold heart, there was no way she could shake off her own hand.
She tried hard to give only her love.
Thinking about the pain of being cursed by her father.
She always took care to ensure that only her joy was filled.
The scars left behind by the injuries she received while being with humans were large.
She whispered that she liked it.
Because she couldn’t get close to anyone, she was the only one she could depend on.
From morning to night.
I stayed by her side so she wasn’t cold or lonely.
On that cold winter day, I thought it was fate that the two people who almost faced death met.
She still remembered the warmth it felt when they were alone together.
And I lost it in an instant.
Get rid of dirty desires,
Putting away people full of lies and tricks,
I tried to fill it with the love and happiness that only I can give.
Russell immediately shook off his hand and walked away.
“…b*tch.”
Waving its golden tail gracefully,
To the dog that was swallowing its saliva as if it would devour the boy who knew nothing yet.
“Forgive… I can’t… Never…”
Exposing sharp fangs,
Revealing the claws that cut the knight’s armor like a piece of paper,
She slowly moved her steps towards the place where the monster’s howl was coming from.
As for the prostitute who knew her way around,
There was mercy to be shown to the woman who had left no impression on Russell. However,
As for the abominable ‘female’ who made him reject and hate himself,
– Wood clatter…
He deserved to be crushed like a log that was crushed by her tail because he could not overcome her anger.
Such an end was fitting for her for daring to take what was hers.
***
“Russell – Russell…?”
Her hands were covered in blood.
Human and animal flesh splashed across her face, obscuring all her beauty –
Only the bizarrely twisted smile stood out.
She is a chimera who chased after her and caught her.
But to her demon hunter who chose to run away rather than help her,
The red dragon realized that he had completely run out of mercy.
She clearly remembered the sight of Russell walking away while being held tightly by her dirty hands.
She saw that she didn’t shake it off and ended up throwing it away.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?
I would like you to give me an answer.”
The vision that was pierced with the contract.
A device that allows you to see where your son is looking.
For some reason it wasn’t connected properly, so it just crackled.
It wasn’t broken, and the pattern was still in place to say it was injured.
Russell was pushing her away,
That fact made the red dragon’s heart even more bitter.
“Dear Russell, you know that her mother loves you more than anyone else.
But why… Did she suddenly change like this?”
– Tdu-duk.
The wolf’s head became more and more messed up, and fishy blood was sprayed everywhere.
The body that was barely being dragged together falls down,
Even something that was pierced by a fingernail ended up rolling on the floor.
“…Are you here? Or, here?”
Breaking down and crushing the fallen trees one by one.
Anything caught in his hand is instantly reduced to ashes and scattered in the air –
The red scales that had lost their shine were gradually becoming more prominent on her face.
“Really, if you wanted to play hide and seek, you could have told me.
Do you miss the times we had together when we were children?”
It seemed like it was leisurely looking around, but the yellow dragon’s eyes were shaking.
The wolf’s head falls to the floor in a tangled mess,
A hand covered in blood left a mark on the tree.
No matter who looked at it, it was difficult to say that it was human.
The claws scratch the brown surface to expose the yellow flesh,
Because the wound was created as if a bear had marked its territory.
“Russell, it’s okay. It’s not that you did anything wrong.
You’re just captivated by the gorgeous appearance of humans.
At first, I was like that too and thought I would just be happy.”
The eyes trembled once more as they caught the golden fur that had fallen on the black ground.
He carefully grabbed it with the tip of his sharp fingernails and devoured it ravenously with red flames –
“Find it.”
Rosaria spewed out beasts in the shape of dark red wolves from her hands.
While she put her nose to the footprints they left on the ground and sniffed them intently, she continued to breathe out the flames boiling inside her.
“But, the tribes of the outside world are very clever.
I try to become friends if necessary,
When the need disappears, they will chase you out or kill you.
Trust me. Because it’s all what my mother went through.
I did these things in the hope that the devil would not reach out to you.
Can’t you understand?”
Turn your head towards where the growling wolves are heading,
Sharpening her fingernails even sharper, she approached the area where there was a cave.
It looks quite deep and dark –
The sound of water drops echoes occasionally.
“Are you here, Russell?
Come out now. You might get hurt if you stay in such a cold and wet place.
If by any chance that damn b*tch dragged you here…”
The red light bloomed and illuminated the darkness,
The wolves threw themselves into the darkness that appeared.
“Kyung!”
But there was no place to set foot there.
The red dots that were moving away soon touched the water and disappeared.
“…”
The dragon stopped for a moment at that scene,
It was the scent that held my legs back as I was about to give out due to the overwhelming sense of eerieness and guilt.
The scent of the ‘son’ who had buried his own scent was not coming from anywhere in the cave.
“You fooled me, you fooled me.”
– Crunch.
A sound, as if the teeth had been ground and broken, resounded from the distorted mouth.
The dragon’s trembling jaws were anxious to crush the flesh of its prey and swallow its blood.
“…Russell, I know everything nearby.
Come out now. Don’t you know she’s cheating on you?
Your safe place is in my arms. Not next to that disgusting thing.
You saw it too. How dangerous this guy is.
Do you still think the people who put you in danger to catch something like this can be trusted?”
Leaving her cave behind, she once again called upon her wolves to take charge of her tail.
To make sure to grab it.
Hold on to just one thing,
To take only one person back with me.
However, as the wolves tilted their heads and stood blankly, the red dragon realized something was wrong.
Thinking that maybe Russell was running away from her, she hurriedly looked around her.
I began to feel anxious about the body odor that seemed to have completely disappeared.
Even if you hide and cover it, the scent is bound to leave a faint trace.
It must have been magic that disappeared as if it had been completely erased.
“Demon Hunter…
Even though she looked superficial, she was a wicked b*tch who introduced herself as having some skills.
Is that a trick? Or… No way…”
When she forced herself to cover up her body odor, Rosaria remembered her face crying and calling out to her.
She believed that the flushed blush came from her pleasure.
Perhaps it might have been shameful.
Above all, after she noticed that her anger became more frequent after that,
“Mom, it hurts a lot.
The place where I hit still hurts.”
She withdrew her claws and bit the she-wolf.
Instead, in a trembling voice, the son who left –
I started looking for the boy I had chosen as a companion.
“Russell? Mom was very impatient.
I’m sorry. “I won’t use such harsh words, so will you come out?”
No answer came back.
No matter how fast I run around and desperately call her name,
“Russell?”
She was left alone in the forest with not a trace left.
