Dragon Heart (2)

faint.

In fact, I did faint because my body was lying on the floor and my eyes were closed as if sleeping, but my mind was very healthy.

‘… … It’s like a fireball is moving around inside your body.’

But if you ask me if I’m in good shape, it’s not.

Because the energy of the Dragon Heart, flowing through the blood vessels of its entire body, was so violent and violent that it was reminiscent of a ‘Dragon’.

‘It feels like my blood vessels are being ripped to pieces.’

Dragon Heart’s energy was markedly different from that of Mana.

Mana and the beginning of the year were the energy that gently caressed the whole body, while Dragon Heart was a violent man who widened the road even by breaking the blood vessels when the road was narrow.

of course-

‘I can’t deny that it clears the blocked blood vessels.’

In the sense that it was not a bad thing for me, I was just contemplating the energy of Dragon Heart.

If you ever go to a dangerous place, all you have to do is change your location slightly with superhuman willpower.

When you spend time contemplating the energy of Dragon Heart for such a long time.

‘… … Um, are you in the wrong direction?’

Seeing the Dragon Heart’s energy split in half and sprinting towards the heart and brain, I had to harden my complexion.

heart and brain.

Both of them can die if they do even a little bit of damage.

At the very least, the story doesn’t even compare to the damage of blood vessels.

‘Where should I stop?’

It’s impossible to completely block both of them with my abilities.

one.

If you focus on just one thing, you will be able to properly prevent your energy from damaging your heart or brain.

Of course, it is possible that the Dragon Heart is heading to the brain and heart not to kill me, but just to make me stronger.

But you can’t risk your life for uncertainty.

‘It blocks the heart.’

The brain gives up and blocks the heart.

It’s not a decision I’ve made with the idea of which one is more important.

Either way, if one of them breaks, I’ll die.

I just picked the heart like flipping a coin and choosing front and back.

It was nothing more and nothing less.

Quad Duck!

‘… … Cuckoo!’

I felt a pain near my heart that was more than double the pain I felt when I first swallowed the dragon heart.

But as I was determined and shut up the energy, my heart was able to heal.

They simply scattered into the veins around the heart, or they were directed to other organs.

In the process, the organs, including the lungs, which had received the dragon heart’s energy, spewed out a fountain of blood, but it was not bad because it was confirmed that nothing was happening in an instant.

‘I wish I could have left it alone.’

Heal as quickly as you get hurt.

Looking at the organs that became stronger that much, I thought that if I hadn’t stopped my heart, I would have gotten stronger, but there was nothing wrong with thinking that I was prepared for something unexpected.

‘The important thing is now… … .’

The heart blocked it, but the brain couldn’t.

In the end, the energy of Dragon Heart succeeded in entering my brain without blood.

Quad Duck!

‘… … I’m going to die, really.’

The pain of the brain sinking was not at a level that the human mind could endure.

Naturally, I was just not a human, so it was a pain I could barely endure.

Of course, that didn’t mean I didn’t get sick, but it would be important that I endured it anyway.

That was then.

-Are you the one who took my heart?

‘… … Who are you?’

A voice I’ve never heard before resounding in my head.

At that profound yet powerful voice, I immediately raised my alertness.

It’s only natural to be wary of the first voice I’ve ever heard in my life, when I can’t even move my body.

But I was astonished by the words that followed.

-The original owner of the dragon heart you ate.

‘… … no way?’

-Yes, I am Caltheon, the guardian dragon of the Empire.

The owner of Dragon Heart.

Because the dragon Caltheon was talking to me.

* * *

– Hmm, that’s interesting. I don’t think they are of imperial blood, but taking the legacy I left behind. Did the empire even fall?

‘The empire is still intact. Not yet.’

-But why did you take my heart? I can’t give it to the emperor unless he goes crazy.

You look crazy.

To be honest, I don’t even understand.

To get Dragon Hearts from the Emperor, you had to go through at least the middle part.

However, the emperor handed the Dragon Heart to me, somewhere between the beginning and the middle.

Indeed, according to the words of the dragon called Caltheon, Emperor Emeres may have gone crazy.

‘So why did it appear in my head?’

– To determine whether a dragon heart is a suitable existence, and to deal with it if it is not.

‘… … It’s creepy.’

Dragon.

It’s not a real dragon, but the weight of its name was definitely great, so I had to swallow dry saliva.

proof of entitlement.

It was the first time I’d seen it as a gamer for a long time.

‘Well, Natasha is a hero.’

Natasha, the protagonist of the game, may not have needed proof of qualifications as much as she was a hero, so I nodded.

‘So am I qualified enough?’

– Hmm, that’s fair. I like that.

His dignified appearance in front of himself, the dragon’s ego, seemed to be an added bonus.

Caltheon let out a satisfied smile.

However-

-… … Well?

‘Is there anything strange?’

Seeing Caltheon talking as if he had seen something strange made me feel a little anxious.

I never thought of myself as a good person, but nevertheless, I couldn’t help but tremble at Caltheon’s reaction like that.

of course-

-… … Your soul is quite high, isn’t it?

‘Ah, if that’s the case, I’ve heard about Aldebaran-nim before.’

-What is Aldebar? Is there a connection with the spirit king among those spirit kings?

‘Yeah what… … little?’

It wasn’t terribly dangerous.

soul level.

Caltheon also said something similar to the story Aldebaran had met the other day.

I had no idea how high-ranking he was that he showed such deep interest.

but-

– It’s dark. It’s pitch-black, but it’s a darkly shining soul… … I’ve never seen a soul like this… … .

Caltheon was immersed in his own contemplation.

I don’t know if it’s because my mind is connected, but I could hear Caltheon’s murmur.

dark glowing soul.

I couldn’t help but tilt my head at the words that it was a soul I had never seen even a long-lived dragon.

‘Aldebaran knew that I was an Earth being. Then my soul is the same as the soul of the earth. If that’s the reaction… … Am I the same as now on Earth?’

I felt as if I had discovered something extraordinary.

The wandering soul returned to its original place.

I remember Aldebaran saying something similar.

What if, on Earth, I had a soul that was no different from what it is now, and that soul is an unusual soul that even Caltheon has never seen before-

‘… … What am I? No, what was it?’

What was I on Earth and who I was as Heize?

The mind of a mathematician who was faced with an unsolvable problem rose up and down, but the thought did not last long.

-Your qualifications have been proven. I’ll start working for you from now on.

Because Caltheon’s thoughts were over.

He calmly opened his mouth and said that he would work to give me his arrangement.

I couldn’t deny that.

-Your body has a peculiar property of draining mana. It would be the same if I planted a dragon heart. It’s probably only been about a year. It’s only natural that mana runs out just by walking or breathing.

‘… … I thought it would.’

As I expected, even Dragon Heart could not dispel the curse of mana extinction.

It only earns the grace period by planting a dragon heart, an agglomeration of mana that is so enormous that it takes a year for even mana to disappear.

-That’s why I’m not planting a dragon heart, but using its power to strengthen your body itself.

‘If the body is strengthened… … ?’

– The object. I give you the dragon body. I think that would be the best gift for you right now.

‘… … !’

But at Caltheon’s words, I was overjoyed.

I wanted to fly a dragon heart, but instead, I was told that you would give me a new body called the dragon body with the mana that makes up the dragon heart.

– But there’s something strange about it. Your body is fragile, but something divine. You probably can’t turn the barrel over. It will probably feel like parts that you take out whenever you need it.

‘That’s enough.’

I thought it would be unreasonable to change like a dragon at all, but I wanted to refrain from changing like a dragon at all.

There is no one in the world who wants to become a lizard.

A dragonian is enough, and it’s only stiff when I need it.

– I’ll start.

‘Yes.’

Anyway, the thought was over, and Caltheon’s work began.

– It’s going to hurt a little.

‘Yes?’

– Circulatory degeneration. Isn’t it strange that there is no pain in a situation that is no different from changing the body?

‘No, that’s right, but it hurts a little… … aah!!!

The pain that made the mind faint was an added bonus.

* * *

“… … Damn it, it hurts so badly.”

I got up from my seat, sweating profusely, and looked down at my sweaty body.

The clothes he had been wearing were already soaked in sweat and reflected translucent, and his body was shaking with pain.

However, the strength of the dragon flows through it, and the power of the dragon that feels brave is strong enough to make you forget such pain.

Such strength soon turned into a message window.

[Strength: S- has grown to S.]

[Health: A- has grown to S-.]

[Agility: A has grown to S-.]

[Intellect: F+ has grown to E-.]

[Body: You have acquired a dragon body.]

“… … damn it.”

A feast of message windows that fill your eyes.

All of them were full of incredible things, and just looking at them was so amazing that they made you feel full.

With this, strength, stamina, and agility all surpassed S-, and intelligence finally became E-.

Of course, it was only now that he had a slightly lower intelligence than the general public, but as he had the intelligence that crawled on the bottom of the floor, this alone was a sham deokji.

“Then shall we go?”

I don’t know how many hours have passed.

However, it was needless to say that Walpurgis, who was waiting for me outside, would be surprised to see the change I am today.

After thinking like that, I left the room with light steps.

The story a few days before the second field trip came to an end like that, and it was also the moment when I, who became one of the strongest in the academy as well as the entire empire, went to field training with Lilith.

Also, I didn’t know now that I would find the ‘Holy Sword’, a symbol of a warrior and a weapon that is evaluated to be superior to anything else during field training.

“Triple S~”

He only hums for joy at the fact that Geun Min-chee has pierced S’s wall.
