145. Stabilization of Cecilia and Yeokrin (1)

Together with Cecilia, I was flying through the air.

Since a dragon’s flight is easily noticeable, I deliberately chose the night.

After lightly dragonizing and soaring higher than the watchtower, we both transformed into our true forms.

In that night sky, I glanced at Cecilia’s true form.

‘She’s really beautiful…’

It wasn’t for nothing that Cecilia was treated like a goddess among the demon knights and soldiers.

As a Black Dragon, my scales are rough and hard like armor.

But Cecilia, as a Golden Dragon, had scales that shone with a golden light. The curve from her head to her tail was very smooth, unlike mine.

Originally, female dragons have a softer feel throughout their bodies compared to male dragons.

Cecilia, befitting her personality, felt even softer and more radiant all over. I had already seen other female dragons in the Western Demon King’s army, but they couldn’t compare to Cecilia.

‘Above all, my standards are much higher than other men.’

A Black Dragon’s eye is higher than you think.

Unless a woman is beautiful, even with that enormous virility, I can’t even get an erection.

Now that I’ve fully awakened as a dragon.

It seemed my body was reacting even more to Cecilia’s beauty.

‘My mate.’

And that beautiful Cecilia is my mating partner, bound by dragon blood.

Dragons often don’t place much significance on their mating partners.

It’s literally biological mating without emotional exchange or love. But Cecilia and I were different.

“Flying with you late at night like this… makes me feel so good, Oraboni-nim. Hehe.”

She said to me.

Her feelings for me were fully conveyed in her words.

To her, I am a savior.

I saved her from the brink of death after her dragon heart was destroyed with my body fluids. Perhaps that’s why Cecilia calls me Oraboni-nim and always follows me well.

The affectionate gaze she always gives me is pleasing.

In reality, she’s much older than me.

But by dragon standards, she insisted she was about 20 years old. Since I’m 21, I ended up being called Oraboni-nim by her.

“Hehehe~!!”

Cecilia was humming a tune, clearly very excited.

It was the melody from a musical drama that Aylin and I often went to see in Pantheon. The melody of a song from that musical drama about my parents’ love story.

Come to think of it, I haven’t spent much personal time with Cecilia.

Actually, it was the same with my other lovers besides my exclusive maid, Aylin. But Cecilia has very few acquaintances in the Imperial Capital, so now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve taken care of her much.

‘Aylin took care of Cecilia a lot for me.’

Now, the two of them are more like sisters than Tricia. And Cecilia is also close to Lucia, another savior.

And now, it seems she gets along well with Rosette and even the ill-tempered Chloe.

I think Cecilia is probably the typical 외유내강 (wai-yu-nae-gang) type. A woman of the good wife and wise mother style.

‘I’m grateful to Cecilia in many ways.’

Even though I haven’t been able to take care of her, she hasn’t complained to me.

Moreover, she has been a great help to me in many battles, such as the revival of Siertia and the Harsen Offensive, with her crafting skills.

It felt a little sorry to settle it with just one ice crystal stone ring that I gave to all my lovers.

“I’m so happy! To be on a night flight alone with Oraboni-nim so late at night! Hehe. I’m doing something that no other Unni-deul has done! Am I dreaming?”

Even just a simple flight makes her this happy.

Just being with her made me feel like I was being healed.

Even though I’ve returned to my Black Dragon form.

It was a time when pure affection, not overflowing with possessiveness, filled me as usual. So I felt a little guilty.

As a Black Dragon, I instinctively had lewd thoughts when I saw Cecilia’s beautiful true form. I quickly thought of something else.

‘Anyway, Cecilia is also a special dragon.’

In fact, the problem caused by the 8th Circle stabilization was quite troublesome.

Perhaps it was a reaction to growing extremely fast in too short a time. The time I could maintain the 8th Circle was short, and the time I could control Mana and Aura was also short.

Like how I couldn’t maintain my Ancient Dragon transformation after using a single breath in the last battle.

Not only that.

There was also a problem with the current unstable reverse scale when using the evolved White Night, White Night Dog.

So I wanted to talk to Aquarite to find the answer.

Even though she was a purified Ancient Dragon, the resentment and anger of being dominated by a demonic beast were by no means small.

‘Erti and Lumi said they’re having a hard time calming Aquarite.’

That soul was currently sealed inside Siertia.

But Cecilia, after hearing my worries, found an unexpected solution.

• I think I can calm her down.

So Cecilia came along with me like this.

After a short flight, the two arrived at their destination, the Dragon’s Forest.

---

The forest connected to the large mountain was vast and serene.

According to Lanthea, the leader of the Southern Demon King’s army, it was once a forest where an Ancient Dragon resided.

It was a very old Ancient Dragon, so it had already left the earth, and there were few traces left. But I didn’t get lost even in that vast forest.

Neither did Cecilia.

A place where you want to hide with your dragon instincts. All I had to do was head there.

“I think it’s here!”

Cecilia landed on the ground first.

I also landed next to her. It’s hard to see because it’s hidden by the dense trees and the darkness of the night.

It was clear that somewhere here was the nest of an Ancient Dragon.

“Let’s move for now.”

I said, returning to my dragonized form, looking at Cecilia, who had also transformed into a dragonkin.

Cecilia shyly took the hand I offered.

‘She’s still pretty even as a dragonkin.’

Now that she’s moving with the demons. Cecilia naturally went around in her dragonkin form when she was with the Western Demon King’s army.

With the horns that grew on both sides of her head, beautifully curved, and the small golden wings on her back revealed.

But rather than an imposing dragonkin appearance or a demonic appearance.

Even in that form, Cecilia felt elegant and soft dignity.

Hug-

And Cecilia lowered her head shyly.

Then she took out her tail. It felt like the tail of a furry puppy.

It was a dragon’s tail, but it was cute and pretty.

“I’m… I’m embarrassed, but I’ll take it out now since it’s just you and me, Oraboni-nim.”

I was inwardly pleased with that sight.

If the parts of a human woman that are sexually appealing are the breasts, hips, or thighs.

For a dragonkin, it’s the horns, wings, and tail.

Especially unlike male dragonkin. Female dragonkin often hide their tails.

When having sex in dragonkin form, that tail is an important handle, or an erogenous zone.

When I saw that tail, my lower body almost reacted without me realizing it.

‘I need to know the time and place.’

Dragons tend to have little sexual desire unless they’re in heat.

But I’m a Black Dragon. Like a human man, I’m always highly horny. But Cecilia isn’t in heat yet.

I shouldn’t just want her recklessly.

‘Still, when she’s a dragonkin… it seems Cecilia has some sexual desire too.’

I saw her true form a little while ago. That image kept flickering in my mind without me realizing it.

But I came to my senses again.

I am Yunir’s Apostle. So there was something I had to do first now.

Soon, the two walked a little further into the forest and found a steep cliff.

“That’s probably the place.”

Cecilia nodded, looking at where I pointed.

It seemed like the entire cliff was covered in concealment magic. But I felt the lingering scent of Mana inside that cliff.

I flew into the air.

I’m not used to dragonkin flight. But since I have so much Mana, it wasn’t difficult to fly even in my current body.

“Keueung… Keueung…”

But Cecilia was the problem.

Flying in her true form was no problem. But she’s originally weak. It seemed she couldn’t fly properly with her dragonkin wings.

The sight of her flapping her wings in the air, about the size of a small rock, was cute.

“Keueung… Why… Why can’t I fly any further… Hehek… Eueue…”

I hugged her from behind.

“It would be better to entrust your body to me. That would be faster.”

“… Thank you. Oraboni-nim…”

Cecilia’s cheeks turned red, embarrassed to have shown such a pathetic sight.

And even her tail, which was moving vigorously, was cute. I wanted to caress that tail as it was.

But it’s a very sensitive area for dragons, especially female dragons, so I held back.

The two quickly flew over the cliff and entered the hidden entrance.

As expected, the inside was the nest of an Ancient Dragon.

“It’s very wide…!!”

And as we moved to a fairly deep place, there was a cavity inside the cliff.

The owner, the Ancient Dragon, was no longer there.

But the lingering scent of Mana all around gave a comfortable feeling.

Apparently, the Ancient Dragon who lived here.

Like Kraiupe, the Ancient Dragon who became part of Siertia, seemed to have a gentle personality.

‘On the other hand, Aquarite…’

Although her mind was taken over by a demonic beast after death.

In her lifetime, Aquarite was also famous as a very strong and violent dragon.

Lucifel’s predecessor, Ustina’s nemesis, who was called the absolute power of the Demon King’s kingdom.

Ustina of Fire and Aquarite of Water were powerful dragons representing the Demon King’s kingdom.

As such, even if the demonic power that had tainted her soul was removed.

The nightmare of being killed and dominated by the Apostle, Yuraness, remained like a deep trauma, still causing her to go berserk.

‘Berserk. So the answer to stabilizing the reverse scale can be found in her.’

I set up Siertia in the center of the cavity.

As befitting a Holy Sword, it resonated and floated in the air without injecting any special power.

“Erti. Please summon Aquarite.”

Uuuuuuung-

Siertia resonated at those words.

It was reacting as if it was very happy that this troublesome Ancient Dragon’s soul was leaving.

Kaaaaaaaak-

And soon, with a huge scream.

The soul of a blue dragon was summoned to the vast underground cavity.

---

It felt like the surrounding atmosphere was being torn apart.

Although it was a purified soul, the soul of an Ancient Dragon had a different weight.

It was an existence that could create dominance around it with its will alone. That Ancient Dragon was roaring with great anger.

“Yuraness!!!!”

And that hostility was naturally directed towards Plutia’s Apostle, who murdered and turned that great Ancient Dragon into a demonic beast.

It was directed towards the Dark Elf Queen, Yuraness, who had become a Demon-possessed.

“I will never let you live!! I will chase you to the end of hell and take revenge no matter what!!!”

I quickly hid Cecilia behind me.

And I handed her Siertia and had her hide in the shield.

The Holy Sword Siertia, which only its rightful owner can touch. Even a high-level Awakened would have their body burned by the enormous divine power if they touched the Holy Sword carelessly.

Cecilia was a member who revived Siertia. So she was naturally safe from that divine power.

“Oraboni-nim…”

Cecilia looked at me with worried eyes.

The terrible resentment emitted by that Ancient Dragon’s vengeful spirit was more immense than I had imagined.

But it wasn’t unbearable.

‘Aquarite.’

I understood her resentment. If she had died in a fair duel, she wouldn’t be so angry.

Dragons, especially Ancient Dragons, have a strong individualistic tendency. They originally don’t have any regrets about the world after their death.

“To kill me with such dirty tricks… and use my corpse like a toy… Yuraness… and Knoia…!! I will definitely… definitely tear you to pieces and kill you!!!”

But Aquarite’s death seemed to have been so miserable that even that Ancient Dragon felt humiliated.

I read some of that memory from the Mana full of anger.

‘She disguised herself as Ustina. Yuraness did.’

As the two Ancient Dragons representing the Demon King’s kingdom. Aquarite and Ustina must have had a deep relationship over those long years.

But Yuraness seemed to have deceived Aquarite by using the relationship between the two.

I had heard that the Dark Elf Queen, Yuraness, was strong.

But even she would have had to risk her life to face Aquarite alone. So she killed Aquarite with that cowardly move she had prepared.

‘Yuraness…’

As a fellow member of the same race. And as someone who has reached the realm of Ancient Dragon, I deeply sympathized with Aquarite’s anger.

Even if it was understandable as a strategy on the battlefield to kill with such cowardly means.

She made the corpse of the deceased into a puppet.

Aquarite had to become the boss of the demonic beasts and kill her fellow demons against her will.

It was enough to collapse the mind of that great Ancient Dragon.

I also bit my lip tightly with that anger.

‘Damn Yuraness…’

They were guys I had to deal with anyway to stop the end. Duke Pedro and Yuraness. I decided that I would never let those two go to the afterlife comfortably.

But it wasn’t the time to just sympathize with that anger.

I came here to talk to Aquarite.

Cecilia, who had adapted to some extent to the Mana emitted by Aquarite behind me, said.

“Oraboni-nim. If you help me a little… I’ll do something about it somehow.”

“I’m counting on you.”

Cecilia stood next to me.

And again, her body shone with golden light, and she returned to her true dragon form.
