Book 2: Chapter 226: No. I don\'t know anything (9)
– Human, should I put some temperature magic on you?
However, he slightly shook his head at Raon’s question.
He had currently asked Raon and Rasheel not to use magic.
“Mm.”
No.
‘Maybe I can ask him to use a bit of temperature magic?’
Cale thought about it for a moment.
Of course, his eyes were thoughtlessly looking at the five kneeling Dragon half-bloods.“…….”
Minister Bailey could not say a single thing as she watched.
‘I\'m sure of it-’
Bailey was sure that she was unable to control her body because the Dragon half-bloods had snapped back to their senses because of Zenyu\'s force and his aura and released their own force.
She suffered more than the others because her body was weak.
She didn\'t know what kind of situation would have happened if it wasn’t for her strong mental fortitude she had developed being the diplomat for this weak kingdom for so long.
‘But suddenly-’
A large aura suddenly came like a wave being pushed by the wind.
That aura did not bind her.
But she definitely felt the strong aura brushing past her head.
Would this be how it feels if a Dragon had passed by above her head?
She couldn’t help but have such a thought.
‘And that aura got rid of all of the force.’
To be more specific, the numerous forces that had been around the subjugation squad disappeared on their own as soon as they came in contact with this aura.
‘And, and-’
The Dragon half-bloods started putting their weapons down and fell to the ground.
Captain Zenyu did not let go of his weapon, but he still knelt down on one knee as well.
Bailey had never seen something like this before.
Drip.
Cold sweat dripped down her face.
If it was an aura that can suppress Dragon half-bloods to this degree, a regular old person like herself would have instantly suffocated or fainted.
She looked toward the red-haired man.
‘Is that guy perhaps a Dragon?’
She couldn’t help but have such a thought.
However, what kind of Dragon would get rid of the force surrounding the Haru Kingdom\'s people and suppress the Dragon half-bloods?
The Haru Empire had downgraded to a kingdom and was despised by the Dragons for rebelling against the church and the Dragons.
They were lucky that the Dragons did not scorch their whole kingdom.
But a Dragon was helping them?
‘Ah.’
She suddenly thought of a rumor she had heard.
There was a rumor about a loner Dragon somewhere on the continent.
That Dragon traveled throughout the continent rescuing Beast people and helping those being tormented by the actions of the church.
However, Bailey was never able to find the Dragon and simply treated it as a false rumor.
‘Is this person that Dragon?’
No.
Bailey\'s instincts told her that was not the case.
‘This person is not a Dragon.’
He was clearly some other existence.
‘!’
The two of them made eye contact.
Bailey subconsciously looked away after seeing his nonchalant and relaxed gaze.
‘Shit.’
She realized her mistake and raised her head when she saw it.
“Ugh!”
“Mm.”
She saw how the Dragon half-bloods were still unable to react properly.
Bailey clearly saw the fear in their eyes.
An unexplainable source of courage started filling up inside her. She energetically raised her head.
She then looked toward the red-haired man.
She wanted to chat with him.
Her experience after being the Minister of Foreign Affairs for decades was telling her something.
She needed to grab this man.
“!”
Bailey\'s eyes opened wide once she raised her head.
‘I guess Zenyu truly is different!’
Zenyu was relying on his sword to slowly stand up.
“…….”
He did not groan even once.
His legs were shaking but he was still slowly standing up.
His shocked face had returned to its usual cold expression.
However, his eyes were bloodshot.
“…….”
Although he was not saying anything, his eyes spoke volumes.
Zenyu barely managed to look around as he stood up.
He could see the Dragon half-bloods on the ground.
He had no intention of blaming his subordinates.
‘It feels like my heart is sinking.’
This strong aura suppressing his whole body made it so that he could not breathe. It felt as if the aura could make his heart burst at any moment.
No.
It felt as if it would rip his heart out.
He knew something like that wouldn\'t happen, but…
Zenyu couldn’t help but imagine such a scenario.
This was fear.
This aura was whispering to him.
It was telling him to be dominated.
It was telling him to give over even his quiet breaths.
Otherwise, he would die.
Those whispers echoed in his mind.
Zenyu had experienced such an aura a couple times in his life.
‘Dragons.’
The first time he felt fear like this was when he saw a Dragon.
He felt as if he was a great and mighty existence as he had the blood of Dragons, but the fear from that time was etched on him like a seal.
He then realized it.
Dragon Fear.
He should never try to resist it.
However, Zenyu was pushing his body up even while facing this aura right now.
It could not be helped.
As he had Dragon blood inside him and could use force, he could clearly feel it.
“W, who are you?”
This power was not force.
It was also not Dragon Fear.
This power did not belong to a Dragon.
“Me?”
Cale responded honestly.
“I\'m a human.”
A first generation Dragon half-blood next to Zenyu, who barely managed to raise his head, shouted.
“L, liar-!”
A human couldn’t use an aura like this.
That was impossible.
Nobody was moving as much as Zenyu, but the Dragon half-bloods were slowly starting to raise their heads despite the aura pressing down on them.
Well, the first generation who had faced Dragon Fear a few times were able to do that while the third generation was struggling to even raise their heads.
The first generation Dragon half-bloods had felt intense fear when they were first suppressed by the aura, but it was bearable now that they were used to it.
‘It is not as strong as Dragon Fear.’
As the Dragon half-bloods who have experienced Dragon Fear quite a bit came to that conclusion, their boss, Zenyu, spoke up.
“…He’s not lying.”
‘What?’
The first generation Dragon half-bloods flinched.
Their boss was saying that this red-haired man was telling the truth about being human.
“N, no way-”
There’s no way.
The Dragon half-blood who called Cale a liar just now, was about to say that before he closed his mouth.
‘If he is not human, what could he be?’
That question popped up in his mind.
Elf?
Dwarf?
Beast person?
Regardless of what this person may be, at least he was not a Dragon.
This was different from Dragon Fear.
They couldn\'t tell what was different, but it was definitely different.
Zenyu figured out the difference.
‘I feel repulsed.’
Dragon Fear was scary but he did not feel any repulsion toward it.
That power automatically made him want to worship the user.
However, facing this aura made him feel instinctive repulsion and scorn.
That made it stimulate his fear even more.
It made him feel as if they needed to get rid of this human, no, this monster in front of him in order for him, no, in order for us to live.
That was what his instincts kept warning him.
He had no idea why it was giving him such a warning.
But he could not ignore this instinct.
‘Something really did happen in the Erghe Mountain Range as the Pope mentioned.’
It was something that could put the Holy Empire in danger.
Drip.
Sweat dripped down Zenyu\'s face.
Although he was submerged in peace these days, he recalled how he survived on the battlefield 200 years ago during the cataclysmic period.
He was crossing back and forth between life and death in order to survive.
His senses from back then woke back up.
Beeeeeep-
His ears were ringing.
His body was now standing straight.
BEEEEEEEEEP—
Crunch.
His hand clenched tightly around his sword.
The longer the beeping echoed in his ears, Zenyu slowly escaped from the fear.
“Oh.”
Cale let out a quiet gasp.
“Is it an attribute?”
Black aura started coming out of Zenyu\'s sword again, as if to answer Cale’s question.
It was an extremely dark and elegant black light, different from Choi Han’s aura.
– Cale! Let’s use more of our power! We haven’t even used half yet. How about we use half to make those bastards kneel properly?
Cale ignored the Dominating Aura.
He looked at Zenyu instead.
Zenyu was answering Cale’s question about whether it was an attribute.
“Yes. It is an attribute.”
Drip.
Black tears dripped down from his eyes.
"Can I ask you what your attribute is?”
Cale thought about the Dragon half-blood back at the Black Castle as he asked the question.
The light that bastard who turned into a Bone Dragon used to use…
Those lights with the sun within them placed Cale and his friends in multiple spots where they were almost killed.
‘It was strong.’
It was truly strong.
‘Zenyu… Will this Captain be strong as well?’
Cale recalled the name he heard from Sam as Zenyu answered him.
– Oh?
‘Oh.’
Both Cale and the Dominating Aura gasped in admiration.
“My attribute is-”
Zenyu calmly responded.
“Fighting.”
The black aura fluctuating around him…
Cale’s Dominating Aura disappeared once it touched it.
To be more accurate, it was pushed back.
“…….”
Zenyu let out a breath.
He gently tapped his foot.
Boom!
The ground started to shake.
“This is now a battlefield.”
Fighting.
His physical abilities exponentially grew as soon as he recognized an area as a battlefield.
Furthermore, he could be free from any form of debuff.
It was an attribute that allowed him to escape from Dragon Fear.
That was what allowed him to take the Captain position despite there being many Dragon half-bloods with talented attributes.
‘Nothing can stop me.’
Black tears were still dripping down from his eyes.
Attribute.
There was a time limit to use this.
‘It’s fine as long as I get rid of them quickly.’
So let\'s quickly get rid of this red-haired man.
‘No.
Let’s create an opening to run away.’
As long as even one of the Dragon half-bloods made it out of here alive, they could leave the rest to the Empire.
Zenyu peeked to the side.
It was only for a moment, but a first generation Dragon half-blood who received his gaze slightly nodded his head.
This one was the most skilled with magic, so he would definitely run away if an opening was created.
Boom. Boom.
His heart felt as if it would explode.
The Dragon blood inside him roared throughout his body.
Squeeze.
His hand clenched tightly around his sword.
Screeeeeech—-
The black aura shot up again almost as if it was exploding, and his body shot forward.
The red-haired man…
He was charging toward him.
“I will definitely get rid of at least you.”
Zenyu shared his hope out loud.
An attribute got stronger the firmer the user’s will.
I will definitely be victorious on this battlefield.
His firm belief filled this domain.
Boom. Boom.
His heart was beating.
Zenyu was not scared of that Whale or the other swordsmen at this moment.
He wasn’t scared of the red-haired man in front of him either.
Crazed Warrior Zenyu.
The title he received because of his Fighting attribute made him whole.
Rip.
His armor opened up.
His body was getting larger.
His aura was getting bigger.
His force was now at least ten times as strong.
The aura surrounding him looked as if it was creating a large projection.
He looked like a Beast person who had properly gone berserk.
No matter who it was…
No matter what power it may be…
‘They will die if they approach me!’
The strong will he had sculpted through surviving numerous battlefields formed his resolve.
He proclaimed to the red-haired man he would reach in a few more steps.
“You cannot stop me!”
Drip.
Black tears dripped down again and as the Dragon blood inside him spread out through his whole body…
As Zenyu released a power dozens of times stronger than normal…
“Mm.”
Cale opened his mouth to speak.
“Why would I block you?”
As he said that and chuckled…
“!”
Zenyu saw someone get in his way.
That person truly appeared all of a sudden.
And then…
“Haa, this is annoying.”
He extended his fist.
Baaaaaang—!
There was a loud explosion.
“…What the hell?”
The person easily stopped Zenyu.
As Zenyu was about to question what had happened…
“Ugh!”
His opponent pummeled him.
Yes, he pummeled him.
There was no proper form or martial arts.
“Ugh!”
This guy was just pummeling him with punches.
“I can’t listen to this crap any longer.”
“Ugh!”
Baaaaang!
Zenyu’s body was flung down to the snow.
He looked unsightly as he rolled on the ground before he was grabbed by the collar.
“!”
He could see the long vertical pupils looking down at him.
‘It’s a Dragon.’
The man with the ash-colored buzz cut hair smiled.
“Hey, you need a beating.”
He then kept hitting Zenyu.
“Cough, ugh!”
He hit the same place over and over.
Zenyu could not block this man’s punches no matter how much he activated his attribute.
His strengthened body was in pain and in more pain.
‘How, how is this possible-’
Even Dragons could not hit him so painfully when he used his attribute.
When he had firmed his resolve with Fighting, he should not feel any pain when he was hit.
‘But why-’
Zenyu was about to question it when…
“What are you thinking so hard about? You can still think?”
Smile. He could not continue to think as the Dragon smiled and continued to punch him.
“Ugh!”
It hurt.
It hurt so much.
Fighting or whatever the power was that turned him into the Crazed Warrior, the power that allowed Zenyu to be a crazy bastard in fights and not submit to any restrictions…
It was useless right now.
Pow! Pow! Pow!
Rasheel punched and punched him some more.
He only picked the spots that would hurt.
“H, how, even when I am using Fighting-”
As Zenyu finally managed to ask the question through his groans…
The Dragon stopped moving.
He continued to grab Zenyu by the collar as he looked around.
The Dragon made eye contact with the Dragon half-bloods looking at him and opened his mouth.
"What the fuck are you looking at? Lower your gazes, you motherfuckers.”
He looked like a damn thug with no dignity at all.
“I\'m in a terrible mood right now. Hmm? I said lower your fucking gazes!”
However, the strong aura coming out of him was definitely Dragon Fear.
Rasheel turned his head as the Dragon half-bloods and Zenyu started shaking.
He then looked down at Zenyu.
“So what if your attribute is fighting? What the fuck do you want me to do about it?”
He raised his fist.
“Mine is Indomitability, you shitty motherfuckers!”
Rasheel’s attribute was Indomitability.
Indomitability meant that he would not submit no matter what difficulty he faced.
His attribute allowed Rasheel to easily pummel Zenyu, who claimed his attribute was Fighting but tucked his tail between his legs after being hit once.
“You fuckers. If you have Dragon blood inside you, you should act properly!”
Pow!
“What? Dirty bloods? And what else did you say? You are going to get rid of Cale Henituse?”
Pow!
“You shitty motherfuckers! What the fuck is in the damn heads of the Dragons in this world that they created such a dogshit world?!”
Pow, pow!
“Cough, ugh!”
“‘God my ass! Why would a Dragon be a god?! I’m so furious! I prefer Dragons over gods! Why the hell would they want to be gods?”
Pow!
“And why the hell do I need to do such useless shit?! That damn old boomer!”
Dodori and Raon were young while Eruhaben and Mila had other things to do.
Rasheel had to face the Dragon half-bloods at Eruhaben\'s orders, but he was extremely annoyed about it.
He never expected someone at his level to have to do something like this.
"Ah, it\'s so annoying!”
Pow pow!
Zenyu fainted from being hit so much.
“Hey, he’s not dead. I\'m done now, right?”
Cale had a thought he had not had for a long time as he watched Rasheel throw Zenyu in front of him.
‘Truly like a Dragon.’
An extremely shameless and arrogant Dragon who does whatever he wants.
Rasheel truly fit that description.
He spoke to the Dragon half-bloods who had their heads down.
“Oh? You are trying to use magic? Are you trying to run away? Hey fucker, you want to get pummeled too?”
“Hiccup!”
One of the Dragon half-bloods subconsciously hiccupped.
Cale subconsciously started clapping.
Clap, clap, clap.
“What the…?”
Cale calmly answered as Rasheel looked at him with an extremely annoyed look on his face.
“You are very reliable.”
“Hmph.”
Rasheel snorted but the corners of his lips were twitching.
