An old tree so large that it is no exaggeration to call it the world tree.

Surrounding the tree was a lake so clear and transparent that the inside was clearly visible.

Cool air, countless flora and fauna, and beautiful scenery. The area around the lake was nature itself, with no external intervention.

The reason why we have been able to maintain a clean environment until now can be explained by the existence of just one animal.

It was a blue dragon ball coiled around the trunk of an old tree.

A blue dragon that has protected nature by protecting trees and lakes for hundreds of years.

His hobby was taking a nap in the shade under a tree, feeling the cool breeze.

However, when the uninvited guest came without warning, Cheongryong straightened up and made a threat.

“You with a special energy, if you don’t want to die, get off this earth right now!”

“Whoa, calm down. We didn’t come to fight.”

“Don’t say it three times… ! Get out now!”

“You have a hot personality. I thought it would be good because it was a blue dragon.”

Kwaang-!

A ray of light poured down on the man wearing the funny clown mask.

The beam of light that struck the man and the nearby ground caused an explosion, covering the ground with a thick layer of dust.

A large-scale explosion occurred, but light was still flickering from the blue dragon’s snout.

This meant that there was no limit to the rays that could be emitted.

“Wow! If I had been hit directly, I might have died!”

“I would have told you to fuck off!”

A sarcastic clown mask casually walks out of the thick smoke.

The blue dragon released its breath one after another, but it was blocked by the red aura and bounced to the ground.

The man in the clown mask had already prepared a magic tool that could block the dragon’s breath.

Soon, he took out a pitch black arrow from his chest.

“It’s an ugly looking arrow. But do you really think you can pierce my scales with an arrow?”

“It will be difficult, because dragon scales are famous for being harder than mithril. Moreover, these arrows are so blunt that they won’t even pierce armor.”

“Even though you know, the reason you brought it up is to mock me?”

“I’ll leave that part to your imagination.”

“It’s not worth judging. In the end, I decided to kill you without leaving a trace!”

Since breath did not work, the blue dragon moved its whole body.

It shook its long body and swung its tail, body, and feet like a whip.

It has size, strength, and acceleration, and is like swinging a huge log rather than a whip.

The moment I was hit directly, my decision to quit my job was decided.

“It’s scary.”

The magic tool that was blocking the breath began to dodge the clown mask with all its might, as if it had no resistance to the physical force.

Jump high, bend over backwards, or rotate in the air to pass through narrow gaps.

The clown mask brilliantly avoided the swirling body of the blue dragon with its flexible movements.

It was literally like I was at a circus show performed by a clown.

“He’s talking dirty… !”

“Hahaha! This is a compliment that is close to an industry award!”

After dodging the blue dragon’s attacks several times, the clown mask began spinning the arrow he was holding in his hand.

As if there was a gap, the eyes inside the mask flashed and the man rushed at the blue dragon.

A clown mask that was avoiding attacks and at the same time looking closely at the dragon’s body.

After discovering the dragon’s only weak point, Yeokrin, he fired an arrow at that area without hesitation.

“Don’t think I’ll just sit back and watch!”

The blue dragon also predicted that its enemy would be targeted, so it twisted its body to avoid the arrowhead.

As if retaliating against the clown mask that had repeatedly stabbed him in a distant spot, he struck it with his tail and sent it flying far away.

Before he could even rejoice at the great achievement of finally getting a hit on the ugly guy, the blue dragon’s face crumpled.

Since Yeokrin was in contact with the tree trunk, no one could target it, so the area where Cheongryong felt the abnormality was none other than the anus.

Although it is not covered by scales, it cannot be considered a vital area because it does not cause death if attacked.

“Ha… Did it! With this, I can finally become a member of the demon tribe!”

However, it was a very unpleasant place to be in, so a human appeared without a trace and stabbed a black arrow into the dragon’s anus.

With anger welling up to the tip of its head, the blue dragon lashed out with its tail, crushing the human to death.

Meanwhile, the clown mask that had been thrown away by the blue dragon began to emit a creepy laugh.

“Kisishisisit! You never expected there would be someone else besides me! How did you like my magic show that fooled even the dragon race?”

“You guy… !”

“True! I’m sorry for not explaining it in advance, but what Cheongryong thought was an arrow was actually a suppository!”

“If your goal is to make me angry, congratulations. It was a complete success… !”

The blue dragon narrowed its eyes and glared at the clown mask.

Due to the impact, half of the mask was cracked and fragments were falling.

Part of the face was revealed from the damaged mask, revealing the face of a goat with red fur, not a human.

The identity of the clown mask was a demon.

“Unfortunately, my goal is not to inflame people. My goal was to inject Cheongryong with a suppository.”

“Ha! Whether it’s medicine or poison, do you think it will work on me?”

“If it were an ordinary drug, all efforts so far would have been a struggle. But the ingredients inside are anything but ordinary. That’s because it contains the blood of an evil dragon, the same dragon as Blue Dragon, who was once called the greatest disaster!”

“What… … Huh?!”

The blue dragon, which had been standing upright, suddenly fell to the floor and began to suffer so much that it let out a moan.

A black energy was creeping up from underneath the blue dragon and engulfing his body little by little.

The demon in the clown mask smiled ecstatically as he watched the dragon’s fall process.

“The blue dragon was corrupted by the blood of the evil dragon, destroying the nature he loved so much. Isn’t this a truly beautiful scenario? Shishisishisit!”

“Yes… bloke… !”

“Hoo! The voice of the evil dragon must be trampling through your mind, but you still have great mental strength to hold on!

“I will definitely bring you… ! Leave it alone… ! I won’t!”

“I’m looking forward to it! I don’t know if that’s possible.”

The demon in the clown mask turned his back, putting the evil dragon’s arrow into his arms.

Completely defenseless.

If he attacked now, he could definitely suffocate, but the blue dragon couldn’t exert any strength.

All I could do was fall to the floor like a trampled earthworm and barely hold on to my senses that were about to break.

The moment you let go of the strings of reason, you will begin to destroy your precious home.

The blue dragon resisted the evil dragon’s blood for a long time, but in the end it was just a race against time.

“Ugh… ! Before I go crazy… !”

The situation is gradually becoming dark before our eyes.

The blue dragon earnestly prayed for light to come.

***

If there are dragons in the west, dragons live in the east.

The two races had different appearances and tendencies, but their status was equal.

Choi Kang-jong, who is said to stand above all things.

That’s why no one could fight back or even harbor such feelings.

However, as time passed, humanity continued to grow steadily and did not just succumb to the strongest species.

Although countless sacrifices were made, humanity eventually exterminated the evil dragon that had predicted the destruction of the world.

‘The problem is that the story is the history of the Western Continent.’

Dragons living in the western continent were generally tyrannical and brutally killed all creatures that invaded their territory.

Not only that, but he would often destroy villages for fun.

The hatred for dragons that arose as a result made the people of the Western Continent stronger and was also the reason for their rapid development.

On the other hand, the situation in the eastern countries was completely different.

Dragons were basically good beings and loved the harmony of nature more than anyone else.

In the Eastern countries, the birth of an evil dragon was unthinkable, and the people of the East worshiped such a dragon.

Since there was no friction, harmony was pursued without opposition.

There were no dragon slayers at all, and the people of the Eastern countries could not even imagine a situation where they would fight against a dragon.

‘No matter how developed the Eastern countries are, they will be far worse at fighting against the dragon race than people from the western continent.’

There was bound to be a difference in experience from those who sought development while fighting against the dragon race.

Lack of experience in battle means death.

Therefore, even if Hibana ordered a large-scale dragon hunting, it was expected that no significant results would be achieved.

“Where did the dragon that came from the West Continent go?”

“Well, his whereabouts became unknown after a crazy black dragon attacked him from the northwest.”

“It means that a fight has already broken out.”

“Yes!”

“Okay, then I should join the war.”

“My friend! I will do my best to help you too!”

“That’s okay, I’m comfortable fighting alone.”

“Then even me… !”

“That’s because I said it’s okay. Even if you don’t step forward, there is a sword that excels in this field, right? I think that guy crossed over.”

The sword Lian mentioned naturally meant the dragon demon sword Scathach.

Lian once said that hunting dragons wasn’t her forte, but she wasn’t exactly unsuited to it.

The Dragon Demon Sword, made from dragon body parts, had the hardness equivalent to dragon scales, the sharpness of its claws, and even the mystery of regeneration.

Although it was limited to the Balaur race and did not have the effect of causing major injuries, it was definitely a weapon worth using.

At least, it was ten times better than Hibana, who had the power to cut down humans.

Therefore, Rian rejected Hibana and left the palace.

Eventually, in the throne room where Lian disappeared, only the Empress clenching her teeth and her subjects trembling in fear remained.
