“Now… then shall we look for my cute nephew’s children?”

When Akasha stepped forward, everyone froze.

“Ah. Don’t be too scared. Are you sincere when you say you will save my life? However, the ones I’m looking for may run away among you, so please stay still for a while.”

No one could lift a finger at those words. Akasha’s gaze swept over the humans in a time of silence and silence where not even the sound of breathing could be heard.

“You hid it well.”

Even for Akasha, it was difficult to find a specific person among a thousand people. From the dragon’s perspective, all humans were there.

Even if magic was used, it would be difficult, because attack magic had already promised not to kill humans, and Akasha knew best that detection magic did not work on hatchlings.

Of course, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way.

Flash. There was death in Akasha’s eyes. A bloom that unfolds briefly but with intense intensity. This was a level that any human being, regardless of whether he was a brave knight Ort or a lowly soldier, could equally endure.

Everyone falls at the same time, regardless of whether you or not. No, to be precise, there were two people who fell a little late, and Akasha did not miss them.

“Found it. These reckless guys.”

‘Damn, I got caught.’

Asha made a wise decision and pretended to fall with Adele as soon as the people fell. However, unless it is truly influenced by a peer, the reaction is bound to be delayed.

Asha lowered her head even more as she approached Akasha, who caught that small gap.

If you get caught anyway, no matter how you react, it is impossible to escape. I had planned to remain ignorant until the end, but that wasn’t a particularly good choice either.

“Goyan bastards. He doesn’t raise his head until the end… Well, in a way, he has a dragon-like personality. Humans are too annoying to scold.”

‘Okay, let’s just use humans as shields. That guy said he would let the humans go, so he won’t be able to do anything about us.’

Asha’s judgment was only half correct. Certainly, if it had been another dragon, he might have been caught by what he said and would have been in quite a difficult situation.

However, Akasha is a master of space magic. It also had a skill that was beyond the standards in the current situation, enough to tear apart the world tree.

In other words, no matter how much Asha and Adele hide under the fallen people and get mixed up in the crevices, humans have enough means to pull them out without touching a single hair.

“Kai(Χ).”

Akasha’s unknown spell. And the ensuing phenomenon made Asha forget that she was pretending to fall and make a sound.

“Ugh…!?”

Asha and Adele slipped out of the crowd as if they had been transported in space.

“I will finally be able to see that face properly. Human memories are so vague…huh?”

Akasha, who grabbed Asha and Adele by the back and lifted them up so she could see their faces, was startled.

Two identical twins. The faces of the two nephews looked identical, with only slight differences in gender, impressions, and moods.

“Hey…ears?”

It had a face that bore an eerie resemblance to the dragon he loved so much and had yet to forget.

Hiers. Akasha’s first love and Arjen’s father. He is a grandfather to Asha and Adele.

Akasha is Arjen’s uncle. If I were to call him by his title, he would be my maternal great-uncle.

It’s an ambiguous relationship, too distant to be considered a family, but similar to being of the same bloodline as strangers. But to Akasha, none of that mattered.

Memories of Hyers, tangled like a noose in the brain of a cursed dragon that was not blessed with oblivion.

The reality that we will never be able to meet again. That was the fundamental reason why Akasha hated the world.

So there was no need for a lengthy explanation as to how greatly Akasha was shocked right now.

It was as vivid as if Asha had brought back Hyers’ childhood, which Akasha did not know about. Since it was real, it was natural for it to be vivid, but not for Akasha.

To him, Hyers was a product of a memory that could never be recovered.

What about Adele? It was like a statue made to show Akasha what it would have been like if Hyers was a girl.

“Ah… ah…..”

An unbelievable reality. At the time when Akasha was unable to do anything due to the overwhelming emotion that came with it, Asha raised her alertness to the maximum.

‘what? ‘What are you doing that for?’

Inferring from Akasha’s words, it was not difficult to know that they were related by blood. But Asha’s brain still didn’t stop warning.

Even though dragons are individualistic and do not hesitate to kill even their own kin, they do not get along with each other even among their kin. There is a reason why Akasha was criticized for killing her own sister.

So, the moment I realized that we were the same blood relatives, it was normal to lower my guard, but somehow it felt even more dangerous.

I almost thought it would have been better to meet a dragon that was a complete stranger.

Asha’s intuition was correct. If what he had encountered was another dragon, he would have surprisingly survived safely.

Right now, only a few hundred years have passed since Arjen murdered his compatriots. For humans, it’s the latest generation, but for dragons, it’s the most recent.

Therefore, any dragon in his right mind would not have even dared to think of touching Arjen’s child.

However, I happened to meet Akasha, who didn’t care about Arzen the most, but actually wanted to incur Arzen’s wrath the most.

And with a face that looks just like Hiers. Of course, this was not a variable that Asha could control.

“Master…?”

Yuglan was also embarrassed. He had never seen Akasha so agitated in his life.

Even though he wondered for a moment whether those young dragons had a power that surpassed that of Akasha, he didn’t feel any such sign when he shuffled his hands.

However, whatever the reason, it was true that he was worried, so Yuglan quickly approached him to practice Akasha.

Pajik!

“Uh…?”

However, Yuglan is denied access. Yuglan was not allowed to approach the space barrier that Akasha created to remove Asha and Adele from the crowd.

It wasn’t intentional. However, Akasha’s subconscious only strengthened the barrier in order not to lose sight of the two children who resembled Hyers. So that no one can enter.

“……What is your name?”

Fifty thoughts passed through Akasha’s brain, and the first word Akasha uttered was a full voice.

“…Asha. This is Adele.”

“That’s a good name. Who built it?”

“…? Dad.”

Adele answers with an expression as if she is asking about everything. It was as if he was asking if I had any complaints.

Akasha’s expression actually frowned slightly when she heard the answer.

‘Is it him…’

Akasha, who remembered Eugene’s face, simultaneously estimated the ages of the children in front of her.

‘Right. ‘Are these children the reason I was alone in the dwarven village?’

Even though the story had nothing to do with her, Akasha knew very well about the ecology of dragons. I was convinced that since Arjen was pregnant, Eugene had left Lair and was in the dwarven village.

‘Thank goodness.’

If Akasha had known that fact at the time, she would have killed Arjen somehow. Thanks to that, I was able to meet two children who resemble Hyers right in front of me.

‘Oh my.’

An obscene desire began to dominate Akasha’s mind as she kept thinking about Hiers.

For Akasha, who wanted to have a calm conversation, it was not something that was welcome, but it was not a big problem either.

Because Akasha was the one who was in a position to do whatever she wanted to do anyway.

Goosebumps ran down Asha and Adele’s spines as they couldn’t hide their secret laughter.

“Ugh… why is it like that?”

Adele’s blatant contempt. Of course, Akasha didn’t notice anything like that.

“I feel jealous just thinking about things called gods, but this situation really feels like an opportunity sent from heaven. Now, follow me.”

Akasha’s tone was a gentle invitation, but neither Asha nor Adele took it as a light suggestion.

The height of confidence that does not even dare to assume rejection. In fact, most people will not be able to defy Akasha’s will.

“I don’t like it.”

And the two were among the few who could defy that will.

“I don’t like it…?”

“Yes. As you can see, we are on a journey to become the Eucharist. So stop talking nonsense and get out of my way…”

Asha couldn’t finish her sentence. This is because Akasha suddenly screamed.

“Aaaa!!!”

“Wow, what… what is it?”

“Kuh… Hahaha… Hehe, let me give you a warning. The option of rejecting, rejecting, or disobeying me with that face will not bring very good results…”

“……Eh?”

“Hiers… Hiers always smiled at me and listened to everything I said…”

Akasha’s eyes shone sinisterly. Although he was ominous, his always intelligent appearance was no longer present anywhere.
