‘As if they’re avoiding him.’
The creatures avoided Rudvion as if cats dislike lemons.
Through Kashar’s words, I could understand the reason.
“Because he’s an elf’s hybrid.”
Kashar also learned that Rudvion had mixed blood from elves.
‘But why?’
As I questioned, something came to mind.
‘Aren’t dragons the origin of magic?’
The magical power possessed by the dragon was the largest and purest, creating other creatures. They turned out to be monsters, relying on their immense magical power to survive. However, with the dragon’s disappearance, the ambient magical power decreased, and those beings also vanished. Even at that time, the relationship between elves and monsters was said to be unfavorable.
‘Elves use the energy of nature.’ They utilized the energy emanating from nature and plants as elemental power. Magical power and elemental power were akin to water and oil. This logic inevitably became the reason why monsters avoided elves.
Kashar continued to speak incessantly, sending signals to Rudvion.
“….!”
Probably meaning to stick close behind, Rudvion accelerated his speed. Two horses leaped over the bushes. Ahead was a cliff.
“I’ll hold them off for a moment.”
Instead of responding, Rudvion understood Kashar’s command first. The moment I realized that Rudvion was his knight, intermediate wind spirits poured in from all directions.
At that moment, Kashar dismounted from his horse.
“Kashar?”
“They’re chasing you, but they seem interested in my magic.”
His whole body was covered in red magic. Beyond the barrier created by the wind, the monsters began to glow.
“Eliminate them.”
In response to Kashar’s command, Rudvion clenched his lips. At that moment, the monsters poured in. When Kashar whistled, my horse approached Rudvion.
“Wait here.”
This time, there was a command for me.
It was only a few seconds. The moment felt incredibly slow and prolonged before my eyes.
Monsters were rushing towards Kashar.
“Kashar [Dash]!”
His body was heading towards the cliff.
I couldn’t endure it any longer, so I jumped off the horse and ran towards Kashar.
“Eilin, sir!”
I heard a voice calling me from behind, but I didn’t stop.
For now, Kashar was the only one visible beyond the cliff where he set foot.
Without hesitation, I flew my body and embraced him.
His eyes seemed to ask what I was doing.
Since my body moved before my thoughts, that was the only thing I could say.
‘I don’t know!’
How could I just watch my fiancé falling? I knew well that it was a foolish and reckless act.
‘Falling…!’
I thought we were about to fall together.
At that moment, a brilliant yellow light, like spring blooming, embraced us.
The light emanated from my necklace.
At that moment, a pocket inside the dress dropped, and white feathers scattered around.
‘This is…’
Something resembling a giant bird, or rather a small dragon with feathers, appeared and carried Kashar on its back.
However, only we were floating in the air.
[Dash] Kyaah!The monsters that had been chasing Kashar were continuously falling below the cliff.
Only when that gray wave was cut off did the surroundings finally become quiet.
The white object carrying us descended for a while and settled on the ground.
It twisted its long neck and looked at me.
The black eyes of a young dragon twinkled like obsidian.
‘Surely.’
Carelessly feeling my neck, the necklace given by Hwayang was gone.
I grabbed the soft fur and asked, “Are you Hwayang?”
[Yes! Finally, I’ve recovered! I look as splendid as ever!]The black eyes sparkled as if laughing.
It really was Hwayang.
‘Her way of speaking is the same.’
What I worried might be another monster turned out to be ridiculous.
After sighing, I could finally look around.
All those creatures were lying on the ground. Still, I couldn’t relax, not knowing when they would recover.
‘As expected.’
The wriggling bodies slowly rose.
Just as I was thinking about escaping again, the fingertips of the monsters began to turn into dust.
‘What is this?’
There was no time to be surprised.
It disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The fierce battle that seemed like it would never end came to a halt.
Kashar was leaning against Hwayang.
He also seemed surprised and somewhat dazed.
“Kashar, are you okay?”
As I approached him, a rough touch pulled me away.
“Kashar?”
“Never do such a thing again.”
His voice was chilling.
He looked surprised too.
“Kashar, are you okay?”
When I looked up at him in surprise, his red eyes were equally cold.
“I could have died.”
Upon hearing those words, anger suddenly surged within me.
I pushed him away and said, “You wouldn’t have saved me if I had fallen?”
“I would have. Even if I fall, I won’t die.”
“What? What kind of nonsense is that?”
I might not have died, but at least I would have been injured somewhere, perhaps with a broken bone.
However, he was making a firm assertion.
“I wouldn’t have died, wouldn’t have been hurt. Not you, but me.”
His words were full of doubt.
It wasn’t just in this moment.
Kashar was convinced that I would disappear someday.
Just as I didn’t believe his words that he would wait for me here.
Something surged within me, emotionally overwhelming.
“I wanted to save you.”
“…What?”
No matter how strong he was, even if he was called a lunatic of the empire, it didn’t matter.
At least once, I wanted to save Kashar.
As my lover, as someone I loved.
The moment I thought that, a massive rift unfolded on the ground.
