I Became the Companion of the Gods
Chapter 122
122 – EP.26 Graves of Dragons -6
3 Minutes after the words spread, the participants began to gather in the center of the tomb one by one.
The expressions mixed with half of the feeling of wondering what is going on right now and half of the feeling of looking forward to the first meeting.
Everyone gathered together with the same face.
“Are we all gathered… ?”
A game in which a total of 8 players, including 3 ancient dragons, the gravekeeper Leusis, me, Tia, Miho, and Alice, participate.
One of them was killed by the tagger, so a total of 7 people must gather here.
And with Tia finally, exactly 7 people gathered….
‘Was Miho the first victim?’
While they were all gathered in the central area, only Miho could not be seen.
I never thought that Miho would be the first to hit….
Surprisingly, I couldn’t believe it. However, what we are doing now is a game that is not real.
It reminded me of the fact that even an all-rounder like Miho could easily be defeated here.
‘Still, what happened to Miho is quite shocking.’
Now the fox, who seemed like it would survive and stay by my side until the very end, was in vain.
The taggers proved that they were formidable opponents.
Of course, I intend to uncover one of those hunters now.
“Looks like everyone has gathered, so let’s start the meeting! So what brought us here?”
“Oh, that is… !”
“It’s because this human is a serpent!”
f*ck… ?
A red dragon that overtakes me before I even open my mouth and appeals in front of everyone.
I started talking on my own.
“The incident happened in the south! Having finished one ordeal, I was heading south to perform another! But suddenly, out of the fog, that human appeared!”
“Are you referring to the foggy shortcut?”
“Yes, Granny Blinn! The foggy shortcut was a method that only the Imooo could use! Geji is the definitive proof that that human is an Imoogi!”
“Grandpa Linus is like that, what do you think?”
At the words of the black dragon, everyone’s eyes turned from the red dragon to me.
If I don’t have any objections here, the tagger will be me without fail.
I have to prove that the red dragon is the culprit while thoroughly defending myself.
But since the red dragon told me what I had been through, it would be unreliable to say the same thing.
In the end, we have to tell a different story from the story of the red dragon….
It was difficult to argue, perhaps because the story he told was the story I had experienced.
As expected, the louder the voice, the more talkative the game wins. Without agitation and fabrication, it is difficult to survive
“Is it because what Linus said is true that you can’t refute it?”
“No. It’s not like that, it’s just that things went a little crazy, so I stopped doing it.”
“Is that so?”
“Of course, everything that old dragon says is a lie. Everything he said happened to me.”
“Do you have any evidence to prove what you said is true?”
“Of course.”
Unfortunately, I’ve played the original version of this game countless times and have been subjected to endless agitation and politicking.
It’s not even rotten water, it’s a class of stagnant people in their own way.
As such, I already had a clear idea of how to deal with agitation.
“Doesn’t everyone think it’s a little strange?”
“Which one do you mean?”
“If I really came out of the fog as he said, who should I report first?”
“Of course Linus…… Hmm?”
“Looks like you noticed now. Of course, the red dragon should have made an emergency call, but unfortunately, I was the one who spread the dragon words by touching the tombstone first.”
“That’s it… !”
In the same way as in the original game, when you touch the tombstone, it tells you who spread the dragon and summoned it.
Without these settings, the seeker would indiscriminately touch the tombstone and disturb the survivors.
Because of that, it’s a setting that has no choice but to exist.
Anyway, everyone here knows that the person who touched the tombstone was none other than me.
This fact alone turns the whole situation upside down.
“How does this work? Linus?”
“That, that! While I was hesitant due to the sudden encounter, that person caught me off guard and overtook me first… !!”
“That is nonsense.”
“Uh, how come it doesn’t make sense?!”
“The boss is the weakest in this game where you can use your abilities. Even if the boss aimed well at the gap, the red dragon has no choice but to reach the tombstone first due to specs.”
“I can’t… !!”
“Still, there is only one thing that the boss touched the tombstone first. It means that the positions and roles of the president and the red dragon in the previous statement are diametrically opposed.”
Alice perfectly refutes the lies of the red dragon on my behalf.
As expected of a rabbit who likes games, she showed perfect reasoning.
But I never imagined that the position of the weakest would be of such help….
Should I be sad about this? Should i like it I feel strange.
“Me too! Me too! Say what you want to say about installments!”
“Yes, tell me.”
“Oh! Tia please! You….”
“As soon as the installment is a tagger!”
I said I had something to say, but I didn’t say I would defend it.
“Because Yuu kept hanging out with me! Then we broke up here! Less than 3 minutes after we parted, Yuu’s words echoed!!”
Tia drives a wedge into the red dragon and kills it.
At the point where the evidence and even the witnesses were equipped, there was no longer a chance for him to win.
When all the circumstances were revealed, 5 dragons appeared in the central area where we were gathered, and grabbed the dumbfounded red dragon.
“Wait?! You haven’t even voted yet!!”
“There is nothing more to see. Please follow me quietly.”
“Oh no… !”
They grabbed Grandpa Linus’ limbs and tail one by one and dragged him along.
The red dragon tried to resist, as if he didn’t like it, but the dragons didn’t hesitate.
“This is a commemorative first game… !! It’s the long-awaited first edition… !! It ended so absurdly! Can not be done… ! No, no, no!”
The red dragon was dragged into the mist with a cry and disappeared.
After a while, one of the dragons from before came out of the fog and announced the outcome of the expulsion and the end of the meeting.

***
6 People left.
As a result, the Survivor Team gained an overwhelming advantage by arresting one of the seekers.
Of course, I had to be careful as the kill cooldown was reduced to 5 minutes as the tagger was left alone.
It was clear that we had an advantage.
And actually, the situation after that went smoothly in its own way.
First of all, the trial in the giant dragon area.
I was very nervous when I faced the soul of a giant dragon whose tombstone was the size of a building.
Unexpectedly, it was a simple ordeal that ended with just 5 minutes of complaining.
The same goes for the ordeal at the entrance to the tomb.
All I had to do was arrange the fallen leaves piled up at the entrance, and the ordeal I had to do in place of Miho was on the easy side.
However, the great ordeal of having to stop the venomous snakes and grave robbers that were constantly pouring in without missing a single one was terrifying.
I wonder if it was easy for the other survivors, but the great ordeal ended on its own even though I was not doing anything.
I thought it would go smoothly, continuing the winning streak.
When the total progress of the ordeal exceeded 80%, the problem finally broke out.
“Already only 4 people left….”
Tia finds a body and the third meeting unfolds.
The ones gathered were me, Tia, Alice, and Leusis, leaving 3 survivors and 1 hunter.
“It seems that all the elders have suffered.”
“Boss, it seems that the tagger has dealt with the two most influential beings in clearing the ordeal.”
“However, it is crazy to say that there is no physical evidence, let alone psychological evidence….”
I ran into a problem.
The problem is that there are no gaps in the alibi of the three people.
Tia, who discovered the corpse, was accompanying me, and Alice and Leusis confirmed each other’s location and constantly checked each other.
However, we have testified that we never did anything suspicious to each other.
As in the 2nd meeting, in this 3rd meeting, we had to end the meeting without being able to identify the tagger.
“Why don’t we split into 2 vs. 2 And regroup at the central area after the 5 minute cooldown of the chaser? President?”
“It’s not bad, but can’t we just hang around together?”
“Boss, remember the great ordeal from before.”
“Ah….”
In the great ordeal that took place after the invasion of grave robbers and poisonous snakes, the personnel had to be dispersed to the bell tower in the west and the tombkeeper’s office in the east.
If you think about that point, even if they are gathered all at once, it will be meaningless if the tagger causes a great ordeal anyway.
“Now that we are not sure about each other’s alibi, the only thing left for us is the hidden ordeal. So it’s more efficient to split into two teams and find the hidden trials.”
“Certainly that is the only way.”
I heard that if the hidden trials are successful, benefits are given to the survivors, and among the many benefits, there are hints about the seeker.
Breaking all the remaining trials, or getting hints through hidden trials and picking out the tagger, is one of the two options.
However, at my point of view, unable to overcome the ancient dragon’s ordeal, there was only the latter option.
“Then, how will the number of people be divided?”
“This time, the boss and I are a pair. Tia is paired with a gravekeeper. Let’s share this. Are you okay Tia?”
“Yes! It’s okay!”
“Okay then let’s go now.”
“I hope everyone is safe.”
With the exception of Tia, who jokingly voted for me, everyone voted to abstain, and the 3rd meeting was also completely eliminated.
Tia and Leusis left the east, and Alice and I set off west.
The water dragon area.
Unusually, it is said that Alice’s final ordeal remains at this tomb with an open seashore.
Because it was better to break all the trials that could be overcome even if it was in a desperate situation because you couldn’t do the trials of the ancient dragon.
I decided to keep an eye on Alice and find the hidden ordeal.
‘The problem is how to find it….’
As if it wasn’t named Hidden for nothing, hidden trials, like Easter eggs in games, are not easy to find.
All you can see are graves and tombs of the same shape, so how can you find them easily?
A desperate situation. Still, there was nothing I could do, so I did my best by meticulously examining each tombstone.
The result.
“Oh… ?”
Among several sand tombs, I discovered a tomb full of starfish.
When I lightly touched the tombstone with ‘Attila’ written on it, the starfish around the tomb started to run away in a hurry.

Like the previous trials, a dragon appeared above the tomb….
“Uh, um…… De-dragon, right?”
“Yeah, that’s right….”
A dragon with blue scales, the skinniest and thinnest among the dragons I’ve ever seen, appeared in front of me.
A dragon that didn’t feel the majesty of a dragon, it was looking at me with wide-open eyes.
“I know what you are thinking. Looking at my appearance, they must think it’s funny.”
“Oh no! Never!”
“I don’t care what you think of me now. But I want you to know this one thing. I never did this because I wanted to.”
“Then why did you become like that?”
“Whoa… ! In the past, in my own way, I was a famous water dragon in the divine water world. There were many women who liked me because of my unique voice.”
Certainly, his voice was so sweet that it made me think that if he became a singer, he would make a lot of money.
There was such an existence among the divine beasts.
“A lot of women adore and love me. I sang songs for them every day and lived a satisfying life. But they… !!”
Have you ever been jealous of his voice and did something bad to him with a curse or something?
There were a lot of people like that in human society, so it didn’t seem like there wouldn’t be one in the Shinsoo system.
“Every day they try to fix me! Even if you don’t like it, it comes to me every night and squeezes me to the fullest and goes back! No matter where you hide! Even if you put up obstacles to keep them from getting close! They ignored everything and coveted me! As a result…… I died miserably.”
-Walk!
As soon as I heard his story, tears as salty as seawater flowed from my eyes.
Because it wasn’t like Namil….
I also had a lot of things being squeezed by my companion fox and going back and forth between life and death.
However, this dragon could not endure at the crossroads of life and death and eventually met a miserable death.
The fact that even though the dragon has stronger vitality than me, he died means that he was conceived more crazily than me.
It was the tragedy of a man who couldn’t see it without covering his mouth with his hands and shedding tears.
And as if my feelings were conveyed to him as well, the blue dragon opened its eyes wide and slowly opened its mouth.
“Ho, maybe you too… ?”
Nodding his head without saying anything.
Thinking that his end might someday be my future…….
I succeeded in the hidden ordeal with a single tear.
