Chapter 33: The Survival Methods of the Weak

It is said that a quiet person is scary when they get angry.

The current situation was just like that.

Faerus, who are usually gentle and timid.

There is something that even such guys can’t stand.

They are usually busy trembling in fear in front of predators.

But there is a trigger that makes Faeru’s eyes turn.

That is a strong attachment to their nest.

And this place is their sanctuary.

Their eyes turned with anger at the being who destroyed their house, which is more important to them than their lives.

But if you just look at the appearance of the Faerus.

You can’t think of it as threatening at all.

An appearance that reminds you of a small fairy.

Plus, the sound of crying like the wind is leaking.

So, for those who don’t know much about Faeru’s existence, no matter how angry they are.

The fact that there are many of them is not a consideration at all.

“These…!”

Look at that.

He still hasn’t grasped the seriousness of the situation.

But.

You should never make those little guys angry.

Piyu!

An enormous number of Faerus began to gather together, making their characteristic cries.

At first, it was a trivial appearance that you didn’t even know what they were doing.

Soon, they began to take a single form.

A huge mouth appeared in what was presumed to be the head.

Sharp teeth that seem to be able to pierce anything.

Legs sprout from the body.

And huge wings were created on the back.

Rough skin and eerie eyes looking down at us.

And I thought when I saw the figure.

‘Dragon.’

The completely changed appearance is like an imaginary animal.

I thought it was very similar to a dragon.

“What is…that?”

A huge dragon that fills the mansion.

The original figures disappeared, and now Anna asked me, embarrassed, when she saw the Faerus showing their white teeth.

Clearly, it was a small and fragile creature that could fit in my hand a while ago.

Suddenly, that figure disappeared without a trace, and a dragon appeared.

It was understandable that she was embarrassed.

But I, who knew Faeru’s ability in advance, just watched it silently.

Not a predator, but a prey.

A small snake has enough poison to knock down an elephant.

Chameleons change their colors to hide in their surroundings.

The weak live in this harsh world in their own way.

And that’s the same for Faeru, who looks so fragile.

Faeru’s unique ability.

Transformation.

It is the way of survival chosen by those with insignificant physical abilities.

Several individuals gather together to create a form.

And that figure appears as reality.

So that’s not an illusion.

It means that all those brutal-looking teeth and pupils are real.

Of course, it won’t be like a real dragon, like spitting out breath.

The huge and solid body would have been sufficiently reproducible.

‘But a dragon.’

In the comic, it was clearly about the level of a Wyvern.

I didn’t know it would suddenly transform into a dragon.

It means that the Faerus are very angry.

The man who saw Faeru, who is now completely in the form of a dragon, stepped back slightly, embarrassed.

Then, finally discovering us, he began to open his eyes fiercely.

“Princess…!”

A man glaring as if he would rush towards us at any moment.

What are you going to do if you stare like that?

To reach this side, there is one mountain he has to overcome.

That is the Faerus who have turned into dragons.

As if he knows that their hostility is clearly directed at him.

He can’t come this way easily.

I didn’t intend this situation.

But everything is going differently from his intentions.

When he proudly opened the carriage door, the guy who had defeated the Golden Knights with the mana disruptor he had prepared in advance, the Princess had already been taken out by me.

And he succeeded in chasing our trail somehow.

Suddenly, a dragon’s figure appeared in front of him.

From his point of view, everything might feel like bad luck.

But what can I do?

‘You should have been nice.’

It is natural for the landlord to be angry when someone breaks the door of someone else’s house.

Look at those angry teeth.

It looks like it’s going to bite at any moment.

Roar!!

“Aaaah!”

“Ugh…!”

The huge roar of the dragon.

It’s like my ears are going to fall off.

Everyone at the scene had no choice but to grab their ears and crouch down at the sound of the roar that shook heaven and earth.

Is my ear going to bleed from this?

The sound was so loud that I had such useless worries.

Soon after the dragon’s roar was over, he began to move.

“Ice Lance!”

Perhaps he thought he would miss Anna if he stayed still.

A man rushing towards the dragon with an ice spear in one hand.

The attempt was brave.

But.

It wasn’t a good choice.

Thud

When the dragon moved its huge feet, the ground shook as if there was an earthquake.

And he wildly swung his huge tail at the man rushing towards him.

“Ugh!!”

Boom!

A man flying far away in one hit after being hit by the dragon’s tail.

Soon, he crashed into the wall.

I have a similar experience, so my eyes automatically frown.

It’s a feeling that my internal organs are twisted.

Even before the two faced each other.

I was worried if he would win even the dragon.

But I was convinced when I saw him fall down with one tail.

If he falls down with that level of attack.

I won’t have to worry.

I pointed to the window with my hand.

The Faerus’ attention is focused on the man, and the man is probably retired after receiving the attack just now.

It would be a wise way for us to leave the scene in this gap.

But.

“Cough…! …Where are you running away.”

“…!”

I turned my head again at the voice heard from behind.

A man standing firmly on two legs while bleeding all over his body.

He got up again after being hit by the attack just now.

He’s really tenacious.

I don’t know what makes him move.

But I can’t help but acknowledge his will.

“…Stand there, Princess….”

He keeps saying meaningless words in a vain voice, looking at this side with hazy eyes as if sleepwalking.

“…Why are you trying to kidnap me?”

Anna…?

Anna, who saw the staggering man, stopped walking and lashed out in a sharp voice.

“I can’t understand it. Why? Why are you doing this? Even twice.”

“…It’s all for the change of this world.”

“Change of the world? What….”

“You…. You wouldn’t understand.”

“What do I not understand….”

“Like you…!!!”

The man begins to spit out a voice full of resentment with bloodshot eyes.

“Beings who are born noble and are treated well for the rest of their lives!!!”

Anger rises.

And soon, that lost anger poured out towards Anna.

“You look down on us commoners as inferior beings, ignore us! Oppress us! That’s your rotten nature, and you always deceive us by pretending to be nice. Stupid people are fooled by those pretentious words.”

This world is a fantasy based on the Middle Ages.

People who are born well live as they are.

Those who are born poorly will never be able to escape from the bleak reality even if they are reborn.

Even if an outstanding commoner like Ed is born, that’s just it.

The lives of the masses who still live a normal life do not change.

Unreasonableness.

This is the rule of this world.

“I will change the world. I’m willing to give up my life. So. I will definitely take you from here.”

Why is he so unstable?

Suddenly, he began to say lines like an intermediate boss just before entering the second phase on his own.

A man who starts to say very cliched words.

I carefully watched what he was doing with anxious eyes.

A man staggering and walking towards this side.

And he put something in his mouth.

Gulp.

Something went into the man’s body along the Adam’s apple.

And after a while.

A very thick and dark energy began to envelop the man’s body.

Uh…. Why is that guy getting darker…?

The man’s body gradually turns black.

The skin is cracked as if it is molting.

Horns began to grow on his forehead.

‘Is it really the second phase?’

I hurriedly took out the Orb of Dreams as I watched the behavior.

And I rushed towards him without hesitation.

Like a scene transition cut-scene in a game.

A man who is turning into something that is no longer human.

An unspoken rule that once you start transforming, you have to wait until it’s over.

But.

‘Where is that?’

I have no intention of keeping such a rule.

Crack.

Sparks filling my hand.

And.

I clenched my fist and swung it greatly towards the man.

Chido…

Oh, no.

“Lightning Strike.”

Boom—-!

My fist, wrapped in electricity, hit the man’s chest.

Soon, a loud sound like lightning falling filled the mansion tightly.
