How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Chapter 524. Noryong's Struggle (2)

“...It seems to have been reproduced here based on the monster information collected from each world.”

Until now, she had only dealt with monsters that existed here, but she brought out things from other worlds as well.

It means that it was deliberately deliberate.

‘Are you taking out the monsters you've been hiding?'

I'm speechless, so I'm speechless.

I really wanted that other side to struggle, but that struggle got a little bigger.

‘Shen can't be defeated by an enemy that small. But... other dragons...

There is no law that a war can be won with one outstanding individual on the battlefield.

It might be an invasion, but the current situation is the exact opposite.

What is needed is a large number of excellent people rather than an extremely strong individual.

Even if Shen tries his best, his hands are not enough to fully defend this place.

After all, he's not really going to fight here.

I didn't say it myself, but I can't fool my eyes.

Well, I'm not shameless enough to force myself to go there.

‘...If I don't go and help, I think it'll be difficult to protect it.'

Even now, if you give up the eggs, stop working, and run away, you can block them.

that's the next best thing

[...]

“If you wait a little longer, the egg will finish healing.”

The vitality felt in the eggs is already quite strong.

One minute is enough.

But one minute is more than enough for those monsters to trample and invade the city.

It seems like there is not much left, but it feels like it is still far away.

What should I do?

I glanced at the old old dragon behind me.

[...]

Edrels remains silent.

There is no sign of restlessness or worry like before.

It doesn't appear that he is deliberately silent so as not to disturb me.

[Arel Ernesia. You lived quite a long time, right?]

“What is it?”

[I want to ask.]

I'm too busy to have time for questions.

Still, I kept my ears open.

[Does life have any meaning for us?]

What is the sound of licking dog poop?

[Is there any meaning in living life fiercely for those of us who repeat our lives?]

“That sounds very ambiguous.”

I pretended to nod my head for a while.

“I don't know.”

I gave only irresponsible answers.

“It is up to each person to judge what it means and what it means. If each of us looks back and understands it at the end, it must be meaningful.”

it's your life

Who is to judge its value?

“Whether you live hard or not, that’s up to you to decide. That is the attitude of living as a reincarnated person.”

[.....]

He went into silence again.

And after silence.

[I'll still take care of the eggs.]

Suddenly, he left only those words and stood up.

Until now, he couldn't even walk on his own feet the whole time because of the limitations of his body.

It was the first time that he showed himself in motion.

“???? you.”

Knowing the meaning, I didn't bother to say anything else.

[Even if that's not the case, I'm thinking about how to decorate the end...

At least I won't start with regret at the beginning of my next life.]

“...I guess so.”

[Then I'll leave it to you.]

After saying that, Edrels drew out the remaining mana.

Even though it is old, the mana emitted by a road-class dragon is not normal.

It starts emitting intense golden light from its body.

But that's not something he emits to show off his strength.

Mana that can't be recovered... It's just that the body can't overcome his mana, so it's just leaking out.

In my eyes, his figure is rather dangerous than strong.

But on the other hand, it also looks stronger than any other dragon.

So don't bother drying it.

“....do.”

I'm just saying that.

Why don't you dry it?

And some agree with his words.

I want to decorate the finish plausibly.

well that would be fine

For reincarnated people, that would be important too.

I'm not lacking in sense to the extent that I have to say something about another guy's finish.

“Don't say it again. One minute.”

[A minute... that must be long.]

Leaving only those words behind, he breaks down the ceiling and heads toward the ground.

I don't bother to look back and just focus on the egg.

I didn't even bother to look outside.

Because it's enough without seeing it anyway.

A reincarnated person repeats life.

That's why about them... Those who don't know the life they've been through are bound to misunderstand.

those who repeat their lives.

Then, ‘Isn't there anything valuable about them?'

Even after this life is over, there may be another.

Then you gain and lose something and move on to the next one.

If it repeats itself, what value will it have to them?

It's a common misconception.

If anyone asks, Edrels would like to laugh at him with the body of an old dragon.

Values do not change.

For reincarnated people and those who are not, the value is the same.

It passes through the past dozens of lives.

And this is the claim of a reincarnated person who is now finishing another life.

[I can't go this far!]

Noryong howled and rammed the pushing monsters with his body.

It may be rude, but there is no choice.

His dragon heart is already in a state where there is no difference.

No more mana accumulates after the first breath.

What is holding on is only forced to move by will.

Edrels pushes the monsters and pushes them out of the barrier.

His scales burn and he gets burned because he just ran into the flame giant with his bare body, but he doesn't care.

Edrels, who pushed the monsters out, stood in the way as if he would fill the gap in the collapsing barrier with his body.

Monsters continued to rush to kill him.

Reincarnated people also run to jump over the gap.

Edrels continues to block them with his whole body.

There is no time to deal with the things that rush at you.

In the first place, I couldn't move so flashy.

He just stood there with his body.

Reincarnated people are bounced off with their tails, and huge monsters are hit with their bodies.

Even if monsters bite, cut, and burn.

Despite all the pain, he was still holding on.

His whole body had been hacked to pieces, and blood flowed from the wounds he had suffered under the scales that had already lost their defense, and he was covered up to his feet, but he still stood.

“You old lizard!”

In my ears, I heard the sound of a reincarnated person grinding his teeth and shouting.

[Yes.... It's just an old lizard!]

That's all.

At first, after being born in the body of a dragon, he struggled because he was not used to it.

Most of all, I had to laugh bitterly at the sense of difference because the race was different.

However, according to the body, the mind and perception are bound to get used to it.

Gradually, I developed an attachment to the dragon's ways and to them.

That's why he wanted to live this long life faithfully as a dragon.

Recognized as a load.

A thousand years ago, he led his compatriots in a fight to get rid of wrong reincarnated people.

After that, I worked hard to finish my current life.

He worked hard to create a place where dragons could properly settle down.

100 years ago, the mistaken reincarnation damaged his unborn grandchildren and eggs, and when he played his way, he felt skeptical, but even so, he did not give up.

Even if you are a reincarnated person, your current life is still a single existence.

As a single dragon, I can only proudly finish.

[Ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh!! ]

He roared, dragging his old body and holding on.

It's not blood or anything.

I just shout with all my will.

The tail and tattered wings were cut off, and the nails and teeth were already broken.

One eye cannot see, and someone dares to put a stake into the heart that has already stopped.

They have already passed the stage of simply saying pain.

Normally, if you cross the limit, you won't feel any more pain or anything.

Rather, Edrels smiled bitterly in pain.

“...this monster.”

However, the reincarnated person who inserted the stake took a step back in a hurry, although the visible side did not know how to accept the meaning.

Perhaps he expected a counterattack or was frightened by his reaction.

Either way it doesn't matter

Anyway, he's already.....

[...Oh my gosh.]

The old dragon's body fell forward.

cooong!

Red dirt stained with blood echoes with a heavy sound.

[...I can't move anymore.]

I can't see the enemy anymore, I can't feel the pain, and I have no energy.

[One minute...wasn't enough...B.]

Even his will is shattered in vain.

Now the end is really here.

Is this really the end?

Will this life end with this?

Edrels was about to close his eyes quietly after giving up on holding out any longer.

“…57 seconds. Well, you held up pretty well, old dragon. no I must say this. You who walk the same path as us.”

I heard someone muttering.

And that someone puts something down in front of Edrels.

For some reason, even in such a situation, its shape is faintly visible.

All eggs.

The egg has cracks for some reason.

It is already severely cracked, as if it would break at any moment.

However, he immediately recognized what it was and whose egg it was.

“On the contrary, I feel sorry for holding on so well. So check the remaining three seconds.”

What are you talking about? I couldn't understand.

That moment.

shred.

A small sound was heard.

The shell of the egg cracked and the one with its head sticking out was a small dragon.

Golden scales...

A small dragon that is still soft but has scales that undoubtedly glow gold.

“This is your end. One minute for this.”

With that declaration, the focus disappeared from Edrels' eyes.

There was no doubt that the little dragon was reflected in those pupils.

silently admiring it. A gray-haired young man.

Arell murmured softly.

“Edrels. You ended up living another life of your own, no doubt brilliantly. i don't guarantee I'm sure you're the right person to be called a real reincarnated person.”

Rarely sincere respect, Arel spoke words of recognition.

“So be proud.”

This time, the old dragon is gone.

It wouldn't be cool to check it separately.

I saw Edrels, who no longer moved, and the newborn dragon, who tilted his head and pressed his cheek with his paw.

In the meantime, Nerell staggers down behind me.

It seems that he managed to break through to this point with quite a bit of force.

“oh! is it blind? A lot of hard work.”

[What about loading...? Is that so?]

She shut her mouth as if she understood the situation.

And her gaze goes to the little dragon.

[That child...]

“...because that's probably what that little guy needs to see.”

Just before the eggs hatched, I purposely brought one of the eggs that were about to hatch to this place.

Edrels' grandson.

The first face the little boy should see would be that old dragon rather than the sweet, gray-haired man who doesn't know who it is.

“Even if you don’t understand it yet, you will understand its meaning someday.”

“Hey, you blind. I'm leaving with that little boy. Because it is dangerous.”

Nerel nodded, approached the little dragon, and carefully picked it up.

[Come back soon.]

“No. You don't have to. Withdraw all other dragons. Let everything wait inside the barrier. Block only the flow in by any chance.”

[What...]

Nerel couldn't speak until the end.

Because the casting of the magic I had prepared while having this conversation was over, a huge five-pronged stream of lightning swept across the front.

Only ashes remain in the place where the electric shock has swept away.
