‘Hiers? ‘Who is Hyers again?’

‘From what I hear, it looks like a dragon.’

As Akasha’s condition became serious, the two talked telepathically. Hyers was like their maternal grandfather, but it was their first time hearing that name.

In the first place, the keyword ‘family’ acted as a negative trigger for Argen, but since he was a dragon that became independent from his parents once he became an adult, it was rare for him to know his grandparents.

‘I guess he’s a lost lover.’

‘No, but why do you think of that person when you look at us?’

“Ha… no. It can’t be like this. Even though I may not be liked, I shouldn’t be hated… That’s right…”

Akasha’s mental state began to improve again as she continued to talk to herself. Asha didn’t take that as a particularly good sign.

This is because I intuitively knew that conversation would not work anyway.

‘We have to get out of here first. It’s hard to just run away in the first place, but you can only try to break through this strange barrier first.’

‘How do I get through it?’

‘Wouldn’t it be okay to knock him out? This level of magic is probably not something that can be left behind even when one cannot maintain one’s sanity.’

The fight has begun. The crucial reason why it can be called a fight is because Akasha adjusted her strength appropriately.

Not only that, after he came back to his senses, his speech became much softer.

“How about you stop complaining and follow along quietly?”

“Oh! They say we have no intention of following along!”

“Don’t you know that what you think is not important?”

Akasha knew that it was best to kill the children at once simply to cause pain to Arjen.

However, Arzen was no longer important to Akasha, who discovered Hyus in both of their appearances.

The reason he felt love and hate towards Arjen in the first place was because he was half-resembling Hyers, whom he loved the most, and Aron, whom he hated the most.

However, over the course of a generation, children were born who bore a striking resemblance to Hyers. If only the hair color was changed to purple, it would be safe to say that it was Hiers itself.

“Hmm, should I research dyeing magic?”

Akasha, who dodged Adele’s punch by 1 mm by bobbing her head, muttered. That touched Adele’s temper even more.

“Don’t look away!”

“Oh, yes. There is no need to worry about that. Because from today on, there won’t be a single second that I take my eyes off of you.”

Akasha often compared Hiers to the sun. In fact, Akasha felt that her life, which had become dark after Hyers’ death, was becoming brighter again.

“Adele. Stay calm.”

Asha, who was observing Akasha’s actions by taking a step back, calmed down the fussing Adele.

“No, but they said that if we don’t do something about that guy, we won’t be able to leave this barrier!”

Adele pounds the air with her fist. A banging sound was heard as if a transparent glass wall existed, blocking the fist.

“First of all, that guy doesn’t seem to have any intention of hurting us. I had a chance to kill you 100 times and you didn’t even get a scratch.”

“That’s even creepier….”

The desire in Akasha’s eyes was so blatant that it was easy for Asha and Adele to notice it. It wasn’t like Akasha who always meticulously hid things about herself.

Asha and Adele did not know that it all came from pure feelings of love, and even if they found out, they would not want to admit it.

“Both of you, calm down and listen to me. There is no need for you to set an edge on me.”

“Then, please release this barrier first.”

“That’s not possible. I’m trying to figure out a way to get you guys to my rare safely without getting hurt.”

“No, how can you not raise your eyebrows when you openly declare kidnapping!”

“If you weren’t already a hatchling, things would have been easier…”

Surprisingly, it was impossible for even the current Akasha to subdue the two without getting hurt. Physical or magical attacks naturally cause injuries.

Magic that focused purely on neutralization, such as sleep magic, did not work at all. This is because dragons have higher magic resistance before they become adults.

So, for now, Akasha was trying to find a way without unraveling the disconnected space. Since there was no one who could hinder him, time was on his side.

Surprisingly, it was humans who became the starting point for ending the meaningless confrontation that seemed to never end.

“Uh… Ugh….”

People who had lost their minds due to Akasha’s peer began to come to their senses one by one. When they opened their eyes, the first sight they saw was the two adventurers confronting Akasha.

“Those adventurers…”

Ort muttered. Even though he was on the verge of fainting, he clearly remembered what Akasha said.

‘Dragons are an exception… does that mean those two children are also dragons?’

I knew from reports that the two of them were alone to exterminate necromancers and deal with someone confirmed to be a demon, but I never imagined it would be a dragon.

Since the situation had now turned into a battle between dragons, Ort’s best option was to defeat the soldiers and return.

‘Is that really the best choice?’

Just a question for himself that lingers in Ort’s head.

The troops under Ort were organized to eliminate external enemies threatening Harpen. An unprecedented number of them were organized in anticipation of a large-scale battle with necromancers.

However, only two necromancers, Asha and Adel, completed neutralization, and new threats, Akasha and Yuglan, appeared.

Yuglan is a demon race that has been extinct for thousands of years, and the appearance of demons meant that there was a problem with Prinia’s barrier, or that it could occur at any time.

In the meantime, Ort’s main argument was whether it was reasonable to give thanks to Akasha, the dragon in front of him, and turn a blind eye to him because his life was saved.

A head-on collision with demons could literally put the world itself in danger. In a situation where everyone living on this continent desperately needs help, they are giving up two dragons.

‘No, no.’

Demons are dangerous. Although humans living today do not normally live with such thoughts in their heads, the records were thoroughly preserved in literature.

How gruesome and terrible was the past history of human conflict with demons. It was so bad that God himself rolled up his arms and stepped forward.

“Have you come to your senses? Bring in scout troops.”

Ort made a different choice instead of retreating. The scouting party was divided into two, messengers were appointed, and the team was informed of the current situation.

One to Harpen and the other to Eletrobro.

“Hurry up.”

“Yes!”

Ort quickly sent a messenger, and Ort’s intentions were conveyed to all the troops.

Harpen is coming soon. But it takes time to get to Eletrobe.

‘I heard that there are many cases where dragons fight for three days and nights… I hope it’s not too late.’

In the current situation, the only thing Ort, a mere human, and not the knight commander of Harpen, could rely on was Arjen, a dragon like Akasha.

Eletrobe was a city that served as a bridgehead connecting human civilization and Argen, so if news reached you, you could ask for help from Argen.

It would be icing on the cake if Eugene, known as her husband, also came. Because that is God.

And it wasn’t long before humans, including Ort, found out that Asha and Adele were the sons and daughters of Eugene and Arzen.

Unlike Prinia’s, which completely blocks out light, Akasha’s space severance lacks density because it has a magical shape.

In other words, because atoms were able to pass through, sound could also leak out. The conversation between the three can be heard outside.

“Asha, Adele. You are really making things difficult for me. Just like your mother.”

“Don’t talk like you know Mom well! This person has never heard his name even once in his life!”

“What? I can’t believe it… It’s okay to say this with my own mouth, but from your perspective, there is no element that poses a greater threat than me, so you didn’t even mention my name? In a way, Arzen is also quite indifferent.”

“What do you need to know? A guy like you can be done with just one hit if mom comes!”

“You are talking about impossible things. Does not matter. Let’s call it. Even if I can come, it won’t be a hindrance to me now.”

Akasha, who became confident in her own power through friction with the World Tree, was overflowing with confidence.

“Huh? Wait… Arzen’s daughter…?”

The human crowd was dumbfounded after hearing the unexpected news. It was quite an old story that Arjen became the savior of humanity due to the food supply, but the fact that she had children was unprecedented.

“If you’re Arjen’s child… then you’re saying you’re Eugene’s child, right?”

And the fact that Eugene is a god is also widely known, so much so that it has already become common knowledge.

“Not just a dragon, but a demigod?”

The conversations between people quickly redefined the existence of Asha and Adele. Not a human adventurer, but a dragon. However, he is a half-dragon demigod born between Eugene, a god, and Arjen, a dragon.

All that information came straight out of the mouth of the dragon Akasha, so it was the truth.

‘The belief that we are not creatures originally born on this earth.’

It was the moment when one was unlocked, like a tightly locked lock, because one of the conditions for gathering faith was the lineage of God.
