I Became the Companion of the Gods
Chapter 144
144 – EP.29 Fierce Battle -6
The pain from the blinking eyeballs gradually fades.
I thought I would go blind because of the flashes that came out all at once, but luckily it didn’t.
Half of the pain, my left eye was blind from the beginning, so the only thing that was painful was my right eye.
Of course, even so, it is true that I was so distressed that I unknowingly spat out curse words in front of Tia.
“Tia, are you okay?”
“Yes! It’s okay to sit behind Yuu’s back and close your eyes tightly!”
“Yes….”
You should be happy to see Tia, who says that thanks to me, everything went well.
But for some reason, I felt a bit bitter.
Anyway, putting that trivial thing aside, I quietly opened my eyes, thinking that my eyesight might have returned.
All I see is a pure white background.
Fortunately, it wasn’t as white as it was before.
“Where are you?”
Checking the structural diagram, it was clear that there was a room where the belongings of the first king were placed, but there was nothing, let alone the belongings.
In case you came to the wrong room, there was not a single room that matched this place.
In order to understand properly, you have to go back to the place you came in.
But when I look back, there is only Tia running around in the pure white space, excited.
There was nothing else.
“I must be really crazy and crazy….”
At least, if Freesia had been there, she would have gone through the space, but she had left alone to deal with Les Chef.
If I had known this would happen, I would have looked into the future before opening the door.
In the past, when I fought Arachne, I went in easily and then went into ruin, but this time it was the same repertoire.
I let out a big sigh thinking of myself with no learning ability.
“Yuu!”
“Huh?”
“Take this!”
“Uh uh… ? This?”
Tia held out the scales of the Agera that I had given her earlier on the palm of her hand.
But Tia held out her scales, as if to give them back to me, and I reluctantly accepted her scales from Tia.
Then….
“Wow?!”
The amulet hanging from his neck and the scales in his pocket suddenly began to move uncontrollably.
The two objects, which were moving violently, escaped from my body and floated on top of the white space.
“What the hell is this….”
-Perong!
I thought the amulets and scales that had been ascending would fly to the end of space and disappear.
Contrary to my expectations, when I reached a certain height, the two objects suddenly exploded and began to scatter as powder.
“f*ck, what kind of forced reinforcement room is this? What?”
I tried to strengthen the amulet necklace with scales, but it seems to be the only situation.
Even though it was absurd, the rest of it was so absurd that I just laughed out loud.
Easter eggs are really f*cking Easter eggs.
“Yuu!”
“Huh?”
“Take this too!”
“…… What kind of popcorn and 3D glasses?”
“Yata unnie took care of me! If you go to a mysterious place, be sure to use it!”
“Yata is… ?”
I was in a state of bewilderment because of something absurd, and when another unknown sound came in, my head became chaos itself.
Even so, I couldn’t help but accept what Tia was giving me.
When Tia’s little hand gave her a bag of popcorn and 3D glasses, a change came to her just like when she gave her scales.
“What is this again?”
“Start~!”
At some point, the powder exploded and scattered became dripping rainwater, dyeing the pure white space gray.
But the really surprising thing is that we didn’t get wet even though the rain sounded and the water fell violently.
We created a new space that we had only known to paint in gray.
To the scenery of Agera’s private room where we first came…….
Then, in the center of the room, the figures of two people were standing side by side facing each other.
One side is Agera, the other side…….
“The leader?”
It must have been the leader of the Rasvir Knights that I killed.
***
“Mr. Agera! What do you mean by that?”
“It’s exactly what I said. Captain Melvin.”
“To think that Rasvir Kingdom is in danger of destruction…… ! Is there any way to avoid destruction?”
“Since it is a prophecy confirmed by the crow who sees the future, there is unfortunately no way to avoid it. They say that even if you avoid it, only more terrible destruction awaits you.”
“I can’t… !”
A secret conversation between a guardian dragon in the form of a beautiful woman and a chivalrous knight commander.
However, the secret conversation between the two was not a story full of love, but a conversation at stake for the survival of the country.
Even the content was really bleak.
While the guardian dragon is making an expression of resignation as if it had accepted such a fate, the knight commander is in shock.
In that situation, Agera had to make a remark that further shocked the general manager, Melvin.
“Actually, an indecipherable poison is currently spreading through my body. As prophesied, my death and the destruction of Rasbir are inevitably coming.”
“Ah, Agera-sama… ?! Poison is spreading through Agera-sama’s body? What do you mean?”
“It looks like King Modos somehow contacted the outside forces and got poison from them that would kill me. And the poison must have been in the tea that was served to me this morning….”
“King Modos… !! Please wait a moment! I will punish that blasphemous bastard immediately!”
Captain Melvin, who had been expressing his anger openly with his face distorted, turned his steps toward the outside.
Aguera hurriedly grabbed his arm and stopped him.
“No, please don’t do that! Captain Melvin.”
“Why!!”
“Now… now… It’s not the time!”
Captain Melvin was reluctantly stopped by Agera, who shook his head and strongly tried to dissuade him.
However, the frown on Agera’s face caused by the poison was transferred to Melvin’s heart as well, and he could only grit his teeth in resentment.
To Melvin, Agera is an object of respect.
For a long time, he regarded the guardian dragon that alone protected his hometown as sacred, and he had determined that one day he would become a dragon warrior who would stand by her side.
That’s why the fragile and weak country boy was able to rise to the position of leader of the Rasvir Knights through repeated efforts.
However, he went further and made every effort to reach the position of knight of the guardian dragon, which was only once before.
In the meantime, he suddenly received shocking news from the object of his longing.
The Knights Commander, Melvin, heard that not only the death of Agera, whom he was determined to protect, but also that his beloved hometown would perish.
He didn’t know what to do, so he couldn’t do anything except clench his fists so tightly that his blood oozing out.
Knowing how Melvin felt, Agera wrapped her hand around his fist and smiled.
“Please don’t make that face. There are definitely things the captain can do.”
“Ah… ! If it’s Frisia-sama, I must… !”
“No, you don’t have to. If it’s my daughter’s knight, there’s something else.”
“So what am I supposed to do?”
“Could you give me the captain’s necklace for a moment?”
Without hesitation, Captain Melvin tore off the amulet necklace from his neck and handed it to Agera.
An amulet necklace given to the knight commanders of Rasbir from generation to generation.
Agera carefully accepted the necklace with the symbol of the kingdom of Rasvir and wrapped it tightly in her hands.
Then, a bright light began to permeate the necklace, and it naturally flowed into Captain Melvin’s hand.
“Do you mind if I ask what you did?”
“I put a little bit of my energy into the necklace. Whatever danger befalls Captain Melvin, my strength will be enough to stop it.”
“Is that so… …. Thank you, Agera-sama.”
Captain Melvin was thrilled at the fact that the power of the guardian dragon was protecting him, and his body trembled.
How can you not be happy when someone who has protected the country is said to protect you?
However, that didn’t make his expression clearer.
Because even though he was protected by the target he swore to protect, he couldn’t even repay the favor, let alone protect him.
Captain Melvin’s body trembled at such resentment, but he did not tremble with joy at all.
“Captain Melvin… ….”
“Please tell me.”
“Please cherish that necklace. And someday, if a knight from Frisia comes along, I would like to ask you to hand over the amulet to him along with the instructions.”
“Can you tell me which article it is?”
“I am not a person born in this land. But he is a human like the captain. And it is certain that he is a heroic person who will end our destruction.”
“Is that so… ….”
“Yes. So please, if that time comes…… Then please.”
“Please leave it to me. Lord Agera.”
The leader of the knights is the one who swore allegiance to the king.
But he had become her dragon knight, who knelt before her guardian dragon and pledged her allegiance to her.
***
After the flashback, the surrounding scenery returns to normal.
This is no longer Agera’s private room, nor a pure white space, but a room with ordinary furniture.
If there was anything special, it was that among the clutter there was a shield that was shining brightly on the wall.
‘I couldn’t believe it, but I didn’t know that even Yata would be involved in this….’
It is not a coincidence that Agera asked me for help at the dragon’s grave.
In her flashbacks, the reason Agera didn’t give up her hope was probably because Yata taught her the answer.
It was Yata who put me in the role of a savior who would cut off despair in the midst of near-predicted destruction.
“I won, what the hell is our crow thinking…….”
“Think of Yuu!”
“Yes. As Tia said, it might be.”
If facts like this are known, it is certain that the second war of divine beasts following the Docheol incident will break out.
But if Yata took such a risk and sent me here, there must be a reason.
And the reason must be important to me and to my pets.
If I don’t actually defeat Leshef here, it’ll be up to my pets next.
It’s better for me to suffer than to put a burden on my precious companions.
‘Now that I’ve come this far, I have to do it.’
In addition, coming here, I have come to know the suffering of many people and have accepted all of their sorrows.
That hatred is an assignment that only I have to solve, and if I leave it in someone else’s hands, it won’t be resolved.
Thought so, I walked towards the shield as if drawn by fate.
‘The shield used by the first king and the first dragon knight….’
After reading the words written under the shield, I carefully observed the shield again.
If you are the first king, it is said that the shield was made a long time ago, but surprisingly, it was in such a neat condition that there was no problem with the gloss or hardness of the surface.
A shield no different from active duty. Just as I was wondering who had been managing it, I noticed something peculiar.
‘A gap… ?’
There was a hollow space left in the center of the shield.
As it is an old relic, it wasn’t particularly strange if there were scratches or crevices like that.
The space I dug into my shield didn’t seem to have been made by someone else, it seemed to be empty from the beginning.
Even the shape of the home was somehow familiar.
I think I’ve seen it somewhere, but my memory is hazy.
“Yuu? Aren’t you going to put it in?”
“Huh? What do you put in?”
“That!”
As Tia pointed at my left hand with her finger, I looked there, and there was the Agera scale that Tia had given me.
And the shape of the scale skillfully matched the shape of the gap in the shield.
There’s a hole right in front of you, but you can’t stand it without driving it.
According to Tia’s will, I immediately put the scales into the gap in the shield.
-Click!
The sound of something being unlocked.
Just like when I entered the room, I frowned because I wanted the light to explode, but this time, contrary to my expectations, the shield just fell off the wall.
Even though he panicked, he barely succeeded in accepting the shield before falling to the floor.
But…….
“How heavy is that?!”
I couldn’t think of the weight of the shield, which was heavier than a 40kg rice sack, so I tried to accept it lightly with one hand, but almost turned around.
I quickly caught it with the other hand, but if I was wrong, I could have hurt my back.
I praised myself fiercely in the past for strengthening my muscles after much thought.
“Ahhh… !! How are you going to use this?!”
Bondi, shields are used in combination with other weapons.
However, this shield was too heavy to hold with one hand.
“It will turn!”
There is no way that the first dragon knight only used a shield.
Nevertheless, the fact that the first king would have used both a sword and a shield made me wonder what he looked like.
Maybe he was a macho man who lived on protein and died of muscle loss…….
“Yuu! I want to write! Shield, I wear it and sipper!”
“Tia? Is this very heavy?”
“It’s okay! I can write!”
“How?”
“Hee hee! Take a good look~!”
Tia fiddled around with her shield, her eyes twinkling like a child getting a new toy.
She suddenly created a blast of wind that lifted her shield into the air, and began to move her shield freely with the wind she controlled through her fingers.
“His name is this gear shield technique!”
“…… Are you crazy?”
It was the birth of the true Captain Tia.
