Gaiden Episode 2
As soon as she heard those words, Sedna jumped from her seat.
– no no! it is not so. I’m just.
When I glanced back, I saw Razier, who was talking to Hwion. Reassured, Sedna turned her gaze back to Tay.
– Because you guys are amazing.
“cool? What is it?”
– Tay and Ray have very different personalities. The same goes for Hyeono, whose memories of being human remain. Oh, come to think of it, there are a lot of unusual people around Lazier.
If it’s peculiar, isn’t Cheonho, who is a member of the Elyos family and has become a close associate of the Demon King, the highest peak?
Tay put on the gloves she had taken off and thought calmly. As he listened quietly, Sedna spoke more confidently.
– I thought we were getting along well without fighting each other. No matter how much Razier orders it, there must be a limit!
“Hehe. is that so.”
– Huh. Most of the time, Tay, you seem to be adjusting.
The drooping fox tail swept the floor helplessly.
– I’m ugly, why do I keep getting jealous? Even just before, I was really envious of Ray, who was always pretty, so stop.
‘Aha. That’s how it happened.’
In Sedna’s complaint, Tay quickly figured out how this incident was in English.
Rey, who turned into a puppy, was often touched by the Demon King because he was warm and soft. Daewoo was the same when he transformed into a giant body. The Demon King used the Demon Dog as a sofa to lean on or lie on his soft fur.
In fact, Tay once turned around and asked. The answer I got back when I said that I can be a great sofa was as follows.
‘You are a dragon.’
‘Reptiles don’t have hair, so they don’t feel very good.’
It wasn’t a real reptile, but the Demon King said that he had nothing to say. It was the first day I felt humble for being born as a dragon.
The servant, who narrowed his eyes as he recalled those days, quickly smiled.
“Ah, in Tay’s eyes, Sedna-sama is also pretty enough, isn’t it?”
– Really?
“You always have him by your side, and even when you sleep, you sleep together. The original owner hates being touched by someone next to him while he is sleeping.”
It was.
That was the original habit of the demons. Since the sleeping state is a defenseless state where all weapons are released, most of the vigilant demons sleep in a safe place. Sleeping with other people is almost impossible for demons.
Razier has been sleeping with Sedna lately, so even Tay, who has been serving the owner for a long time, was a surprising change.
“It means that the king trusts Sedna.”
– Ah.
“It’s something you should be proud of.”
Sedna’s eyes lit up when she heard the kind advice.
– Tay is really mature!
“Yeah, what. Because I am an adult.”
Tay replied in a muffled voice.
Considering that Demon King Embildon was about 300 years old in the Demon Realm, the Demon Dragon was younger than that when counting from the time he woke up from the egg.
Although Sedna had been sealed in the sea for a long time, in terms of her actual age, she was by no means the age to speak as an adult in front of Cheonho, who was over 2,000 years old.
However, there is one thing that most people do not know about dragons.
It is said that the dragon has already had an ego since the time it was in the egg!
Among them, the is a race that is born in the most perfect state, inheriting all of the knowledge, memories, and magic of the ancestors.
The time when the egg hatches and emerges is determined by the Demon Dragon itself. It was when he was able to completely control the knowledge and abilities he had inherited from his predecessors, and when he judged that the surroundings were safe enough.
And how long did the demon dragon Tei Thanatos stay alone in the egg?
‘Four thousand years.’
When the millennium ending the era reached its fourth bridle, Tay, who was trapped in the abyss-like darkness, finally sensed death.
It is known that a dragon can live without awakening from an egg for about 1,500 years at most.
It was only natural that the Demon Dragon, who had been trapped in an egg for a tremendous amount of time that was more than twice the average standard, was caught in madness, neither dying nor alive.
– no! It’s not that I’m an adult. If it’s Tei, I think I was born with a smile from the moment I was born!
– Huh? How was it?
The innocent pink fox tilted her head toward the servant who raised one hand and covered her mouth.
Tay, who had an ambiguous expression neither smiling nor grimacing, created a familiar smile again.
“Hey, the chocolate is melting.”
– Oh! Can’t melt!
Tay, who naturally turned the fox’s attention to chocolate, let out a small sigh.
When he first met the king, he couldn’t remember what kind of face he was. To be sure, at the time, Tay didn’t know how to smile.
After the conversation with Hwion was over, I saw Lazier looking towards Tay and Sedna.
Razier’s blue eyes shone brightly as if piercing through.
“King, are you going out?”
“Looks like a special guest has arrived outside.”
– You’re a special guest. who?
Sedna, who had a lot of chocolate powder on her lips, expressed her curiosity. Razier answered with a summer vest over his shirt.
“Mona L. Angelic.”
“If it’s Angelic… … .”
It is the name of the tribe to which Daniel, the brother of the first king ‘Lu’ belonged.
Although the name itself was unfamiliar, it was indeed a person that Razier might be interested in.
Immediately after the end of the War of the Heavens, Tay quickly noticed the psychology of the owner, as he briefly explained about ‘Daniel Angelic’.
“Go.”
Razier, who had been lightly prepared, stood up from his seat, and the red dog and purple-haired attendant followed behind him as if it were natural. Considering the experience of bringing the owner, it was a much faster reaction than Hwion Whale, who was just a young chick.
Sedna, who was looking at him happily, also jumped off the sofa.
pop!
Her pink hair curled through the smoke.
“Razier! Come with me!”
After a lot of hard work, it was Sedna who was now quite accustomed to humanizing. However, the rich fox tail, which was still hidden, remained behind her back and was fluttering in a lively manner.
Sedna, who was holding her tail and crying, ran back and forth to miss Razier. The blue bell hanging from her neck left a jingle and clear sound.
Tay glanced at the owner’s back, who was deliberately walking slowly so that Sedna could follow him, and suddenly grabbed a leaf that had been blown through the hallway window.
‘Before being born from an egg? For me back then.’
The leaves that had crumbled in his hand were carried away by the wind without a pulse.
‘I never wanted to laugh.’
It was a story from a long, long time ago.
4,000 or even hundreds of years ago.
After the previous demon dragons were at rest, the eggs of new demon dragons that succeeded them appeared in the Hvergelmir Spring in the center of the demon realm.
Since demon dragons inherit the knowledge and power of their predecessors, they have a very strong loyalty to the king compared to other demons. Even though the previous demon dragon had not reached the end of its lifespan, it was so close that the demon lord he served died with him the moment he closed his eyes.
All the Demon Realm residents watched the Demon Dragon’s egg with anticipation.
What perfect and strong creature will be born from within? As a demon who pursues strength, expectations for the Demon Dragon were high.
However, while the Demon Dragon received the knowledge and power of its predecessors from within the egg, the 88th Demon King ‘Hakram’, who was born one step earlier, took the throne.
The demon king ‘Hakram’, who was born with strong darkness, had an unusually cruel disposition.
He was born with a strong desire for destruction and conquest, which is rare even among the previous demon lords, and he saw the blood of the clans.
It didn’t matter whether he succumbed to strength or not. Hakram was fond of blood and enjoyed slaughtering for no reason.
At first, he focused only on killing at once, but later on, his bad temper developed further, making his target opponent struggle until he was about to die.
When an earthworm hit by the rain comes up on the ground, wait for the water to dry, sprinkle salt when the sunlight is strongest, and watch it wriggle until it dies, like a smiling child.
The opponent who was interested in it dries up blood and kills it.
For Demon Lord Hakram, this was a kind of game. Under the tyranny of a cruel monarch, the demon realm gradually became wild and desolate.
And the demon dragon’s egg, which has not yet been fully prepared for hatching, was the perfect target for the demon king to be interested in.
got the timing wrong. At that time, the demons agreed with their mouths.
It was only natural that Hakram, who was tired of boring toys that could not last long and died, noticed the demon dragon’s egg.
The most perfect and strong demon who has been passed on from generation to generation and has been handed over to the demon king!
The anticipation that the egg of a demon dragon hatching while waiting for hatching in a spring full of magic will bring to the demon king Hakram was thrillingly high.
As soon as Hakram became interested, he went to Hvergelmir Spring, the center of the Demon Realm, where demons were born.
Originally, even a king was not allowed to enter the area recklessly, but such a restriction could not come to a person crazy about slaughter.
“It is you.”
The demon dragon resonated with the energy of the demon king who was approaching, and opened his eyes in the dark egg.
The body was already finished. However, it was still lacking in mental aspect. The Demon Dragon has not yet absorbed the knowledge and magic passed down from his predecessors into his own.
Therefore, it was now in an unstable state, not ready to hatch.
The dragon was conflicted for a moment.
‘Should I leave?’
Even if it was imperfect, I could go out. If the king wants it, it should be done after breaking the egg and then slowly growing it.
But there was one catch.
“The one who will become my loyal Demon Dragon.”
‘… I’m scared.’
The Demon Dragon, curled up in the egg, instinctively sensed the danger. The premonition that if I went outside now, I would be killed, my scales constantly stood up.
The desire to go out to see the king immediately and the extreme sense that he would be killed if he went out confused the Demon Dragon.
It didn’t take long for me to realize that it was an unnecessary worry.
“It’s nice to see you.”
It was a really happy voice. Demon King Hakram happily continued his words and held out his hand.
“A life that will be sacrificed to me anyway. How about serving from now on, demon dragon.”
‘volunteer?’
Before the demon dragon could understand the demon king’s words with his head, he instinctively sensed the ferocious magical energy that began to cover the egg.
‘You’re going to kill me!’
As soon as I felt the magic used by the Demon King, it became clear.
The demon king’s mage, which violently covered the egg, was full of terrifying murderous intent that took his breath away.
Demon King Hakram was meant to forcibly break the egg.
“Oh hey. It’s pretty solid.”
Fortunately, the demon dragon’s eggs are very strong. Even if he was a Demon King, he couldn’t forcefully break the egg.
But even knowing that fact, he was strangely not reassured. The Demon Dragon trembled while curled up in the egg.
