Elves Have Migrated to My Planter

Side Story – Demon Dragon (3)

‘I feel special mana.’

The moment it first reacted to it was when they boarded the airship and took off into the sky.

I didn’t really worry about it. Because there was no need to worry about an overwhelmingly strong person. If your body is strong, your head will be at ease.

This was exactly the right word for dragons.

“Hey, it’s heading north!”

Of course, one small action can be a terrible disaster for others. The same was true for Serenian and Seunghyeon.

When a huge object flew across the sky at once, they froze and looked straight into its big golden eyes.

[Oops, I think it would be better to avoid it]

The wind spirit read the emotions in those eyes and gave advice. As he said, the demon dragon opened his mouth wide and exposed his teeth to devour the mana that would fill him.

“Ugh!”

“It’s falling!”

The airship was destroyed with just one bite, without any room for resistance. Fortunately or unfortunately, only the airship was destroyed and no one was injured, but they had to fall to the ground.

“I lived!?”

But they did not crash as a result. This is because the power burning with blue energy enveloped the bodies of those who fell and stopped them in the air.

“How dare you…”

At the same time, a strong thunderbolt erupted from the arrow fired by Serenian and hit the dragon’s body. However, in the end, even Serenian’s arrows failed to inflict any significant damage on the dragon’s scales.

[I guess making things annoying was effective]

However, as the wind spirit said, the dragon must have been annoyed by her lightning attack, so she opened her mouth wide, condensed powerful energy, and spewed it out at them.

The power of a dragon that can destroy a small city with just one blow. In this age where mythology has passed away, there will be no one who can block this blow.

‘!!!’

However, this time it was blocked. Rather than being blocked, it was split into several branches and its power was halved. And what split the breath was the powerful power of flames that condensed into a drill shape.

‘Am I also benefiting from the system?’

Seunghyeon, who blocked the breath, smiled bitterly.

Just as Orca, who acquired the demon sword and awakened as a demon king, showed off his power by surpassing everyone except the warrior, the hero’s power has begun to exert a strong influence in a world where the demon king has disappeared.

[It looks like that dragon has lost his senses right now. The act of gorging on mana is probably an instinctive act of seeking reason. Conversation is impossible now]

“Even if conversation becomes possible, I’m not sure anyone will listen.”

Seunghyeon, who landed on the ground with the others, hid himself in a protective shield created by Pia using a spell to avoid the angry dragon.

It was impossible to subdue the dragon even with the strength of a warrior he possessed. This is literally something the entire continent needs to do.

“But if we leave it to seek reason, more people will be sacrificed.”

“What can I do? The only way is to find food. “We can do anything only if we can at least communicate.”

As Serenian sighed, he nodded. Now that dragon is just a beast acting according to its instincts.

If left like this, more people would be eaten anyway, so it was a reasonable idea to make food to reduce the number of casualties.

“Food… Now that I think about it, I heard that they happily eat up the magic stones used in airships. “Magic stones are ores that contain mana, so maybe that’s why.”

Pia, who was listening quietly, suggested the solution. Let’s provide magic stones as food. This idea was soon spread to others.

The decision was not made right away. Because there were some who opposed it.

“Do you know how precious a magic stone is? Besides, how much is needed to fill a dragon’s stomach? Even if we search all the mines on the entire continent, we might not be able to find it!”

Most human wizards who made magic stones were negative.

The biggest reason was that it was realistically impossible.

“The magic stones and labyrinth cores created by vampires by collecting the essence of the demonic beasts that appear in Eden… I don’t know what will happen if we even use those.”

In such a situation, the solution presented was the residents of Eden who heard this news from Serenian.

It was possible to find a substance to replace the magic stone.

***

‘Is it possible enough?’

After returning to Eden, I came out of the flower pots, looked at them, and smiled faintly. This is because the method suggested by the residents seemed like it could sufficiently attract the attention of the demon dragon.

A dungeon that I can open artificially. And the dungeon core that comes out of it. It is a resource that has a high concentration of power in itself.

In addition, vampires use their own magic to create magical stones extracted from the by-products of magical beasts and imbued with magic.

By gathering various races in one place, new methods came out every day, like a goblin’s bat that gives everything it wants.

“This is an artificial magic stone created by extracting power from the corpses of witches. “There is almost no difference in quality compared to products obtained from nature.”

“So, if you feed this to the dragon, it will come to its senses?”

“If you think about it theoretically, yes.”

Chris, a vampire who followed Elise but was interested in magic engineering and soon became a magic engineer, showed her the magic stone they made themselves.

I don’t know, but judging by the way the others are muttering, it looks like they aren’t bluffing.

“I guess I can’t help you. “Except for opening more dungeons.”

[I will need your help later. When the demon dragon came to his senses. Right then]

I was laughing in an atmosphere where it seemed like there was nothing I could do to help, and the wind spirit intervened. As I said, you may not know it now, but there was a high probability that you would need my help later.

[Aren’t you planning to bring the demon dragon to Eden?]

“I only did that because I thought it was best. “Just like when we accepted the demons, to minimize damage as much as possible.”

[Others may object]

“I think you’ll understand, but I can’t help it. The only way to do this is to lure them in and lie to them that they will be sealed. “The people inside Eden listen well when I give them the command to keep quiet.”

Obviously, the Demon Dragon has harmed many people on the continent so far, so there will be people who want revenge. However, let alone whether it was right to sacrifice more people for their revenge, considering their strength, it was questionable whether revenge was even realistically possible.

I thought it would be better to drag it to the world inside a flower pot. Because I can do anything. After getting burned by Orca once, I was able to prepare more thoroughly.

[What will you do if the Demon Dragon goes on a rampage or imposes unreasonable conditions?]

“That’s better. No matter what the dragon asks, there’s nothing I can’t do. “I can provide you with everything: a place to live, food, everything.”

I laughed out loud at the wind spirit’s words. The demon dragon that I saw in person was clearly a huge monster that rivaled the monsters in monster movies and was truly terrifying.

However, if you look down into the flower pot, that huge demon dragon becomes nothing more than a cute lizard that fits in the palm of your hand.

‘Has it begun?’

The operation to feed the magic stone to the demon dragon was quickly implemented.

Through the passage connecting Eden and the continent, the resources saved inside were continuously flowing out.

I went back into the flower pot and met Serenian. She still looked anxious.

“I still doubt that the dragon will try to engage in friendly conversation with us. “It’s impossible to lure that huge monster into here.”

“Everyone probably thinks so. “I have no choice but to try.”

It has been a long time since the dragons disappeared. All we know about them are legends and myths passed down through the mouths of countless people.

As expected from word of mouth, there were some distortions or omissions here and there, so even self-proclaimed dragon experts were not completely sure.

“Is the installation complete?”

“I did it once. “I don’t know if this will work.”

Dwarf Le Sai, in charge of the operation, looked at the pile of magic stones and scratched his head. Now the decoy team will leave to lure the dragon here.

“…I’ll follow along too.”

“Well, what does that mean?”

After thinking for a moment, I volunteered for the manned team. I definitely felt something from that brief encounter yesterday. The dragon’s strange obsession with me.

Serenian was shocked, but I pulled her away and said she would follow me.

“I assure you, that dragon will definitely come after me.”

I just boarded the airship. He wasn’t confident as he could block the dragon’s breath once or twice.

The airship carrying me quickly took to the sky and flew towards the dragon once again, and as I expected, the dragon showed interest in me again and changed direction and started coming towards me.
