Chapter 212
The despicable Cult members.
Not only did they lure my close friend, Sien, into the path of evil, but they also betrayed him. I couldn’t help but wonder how someone could have such a despicable character.
“Jade, you caused a terrorist attack in the capital city, and now you’ve touched Sien?”
There was no way he could forgive them. At that moment,
[The Goddess of Happiness sighs and says, “You’re really…”]
“Come on, just say it.”
[The Goddess of Happiness asks if you have any conscience.]
“No, I don’t feel guilty at all.”
To be honest, why should he feel guilty? He didn’t kill Sien.
“Sien was killed by Jade, wasn’t he?”[The Goddess of Happiness loses her words.]
[The Goddess of Fate says that Jade, not you, killed him.]
Fate also took his side. After all, in situations like this, the majority rules, so Sien was killed by Jade, not him.
‘Anyway, let’s not worry about this anymore.’
What’s more important is the dragon that he and Sien had fought earlier. When he looked at it through the map view, it didn’t seem that big, but,
‘It’s still a dragon.’
Sien, who had become stronger than before, was pushed back by the dragon. Sien probably thought that if he kept fighting, he would win, but,
‘In my opinion, he would have died if he kept fighting.’
Sien’s clones were limited to three at most, and one of them was elsewhere. Even if he increased his mana a little, it wouldn’t be enough to defeat the dragon.
‘It’s still a dragon, even if it’s a hatchling.’
Anyway, he needed to subdue or kill the dragon. But first,
“I need to do something about him.”
Kaine looked at Sien with a resentful expression. Sien seemed quite upset about being betrayed by Jade.
“Don’t worry, I’ll get revenge for you.”
Kaine said this and put Sien’s body into his inventory.

At the same time, Jenny and her group, who had finished eating the bear meat, were walking towards the center of the island. During this time, some small events had occurred. For example,
-Kieek!
A hobgoblin recklessly charged at them. Then,
-Crunch!
Willy, without even looking, defeated it. She looked down at the hobgoblin with its neck cut off and kicked it with her foot.
“Hmm. This guy gives too few points.”
“What do you expect? Hobgoblins don’t give many points anyway.”
“It’s unfair…”
Willy spoke with a resentful expression. Well, it wasn’t strange for her to feel this way. After all, each monster gave different points, and hobgoblins gave the lowest points.
“Blame your luck. If you had been second in line, you would have gotten more points.”
At that moment, Lisanna teased Willy. Unlike Willy, Lisanna had defeated a high ogre and earned a high score.
“I also got points for defeating a high ogre.”
“Yes, the one who killed it got more points. And I also got points for defeating a hobgoblin.”
Lisanna responded to Willy’s words childishly. She didn’t want to lose the argument.
“But you two are better than me, aren’t you?”
At that moment, Mark, who had been listening to their conversation, raised his glasses and joined in. Then, he continued,
“I can’t get any points from the monsters you defeat because we’re not in the same group.”
“…”
“…”
The three of them couldn’t bring themselves to say that they understood, so they just looked at him with pity. At that moment,
-Swoosh!
A clear waterfall sound rang in their ears. The four of them turned towards the sound. Then,
“It’s a waterfall, right?”
“Yes, it seems so, senior.”
Jenny nodded at Mark’s question. The next moment,
“Then, let’s quench our thirst first.”
Jenny, without hesitation, walked towards the river where the waterfall was flowing. The other three followed her. Then,
-Roar!
An unpleasant roar rang in their ears. The four of them turned their heads.
-Thud! Thud!
It seemed like a fairly large monster. The ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred. The four of them pulled out their weapons with stern expressions.
-Sling!
When they saw the monster that had come out of the forest, they couldn’t help but be surprised. The monster in front of them looked exactly like a dragon from a fairy tale.
“What? Didn’t dragons go extinct?”
“I thought so too.”
“It’s written in history books that dragons went extinct in ancient times.”
Lisanna’s question made Willy and Mark nod in surprise. As the three of them were surprised,
“Anyway, it seems like that’s the boss monster.”
Jenny, who had experience fighting dragonkin, pointed at the dragon with a calm expression. As the three of them were about to answer,
-Roar!
The dragon charged at them with a fierce aura. So, Jenny and her group mistook the dragon for the boss monster and attacked it.
.
.
.
At the same time, Kaine couldn’t help but be surprised by the situation.
“Die, lizard!”
-Roar!
On the screen, Jenny and her group were fiercely fighting the dragon.
‘Why are they there?!’
Of course, it wasn’t strange for them to be there. They were also students taking the field assessment. But,
‘Why are they fighting that dragon?’
Moreover, there weren’t alone.
“Mark, why are you with them?”
Mark was with the other group, even though they weren’t in the same group. Kaine was surprised, but then,
[Quest: Subdue the Dragon!]
[Description: Don’t kill the hatchling dragon in front of you, but subdue it.]
[Reward: 2,000 points.]
A quest suddenly appeared. Kaine frowned as he looked at the quest details.
‘So, you’re telling me to give up? You bastards!’
Just looking at the dragon in front of him, it seemed very violent. It even tried to kill Sien, who had freed it.
‘But what? Subdue it?’
It was impossible to subdue a dragon with such a strong sense of pride, let alone one that had lost its sanity.
‘It would be easier to pretend to be Andrew.’
Kaine thought this as he watched the situation from his inventory. Then,
-Thud!
The dragon was hit by Lisanna’s holy punch and flew into the air for a moment. Then,
-Flap!
Before it landed on the ground, it flapped its wings and started flying. There were many annoying things about the dragon, but one of them was that,
‘It can fly.’
No matter how strong a person is, it’s almost impossible for them to fly. Only a genius like Skaya could create such a magic.
‘But such a genius isn’t easy to find.’
So, it was quite a difficult situation for Jenny and her group. Without a magician, their long-range attacks were quite limited. As expected,
“That damn lizard. Why is it so annoying?”
“…”
Lisanna and Mark gritted their teeth and glared at the dragon, unable to do anything.
‘Hmm. Where’s Jenny?’
Kaine narrowed his eyes as Jenny wasn’t visible on the screen. Then,
“I thought you’d give me to that lizard.”
Jenny, who had expected the dragon to fly, appeared on the screen, riding on the dragon’s back.
‘Hmm. That dragonkin guy also flew around a lot.’
Kaine nodded in understanding, and Jenny, with her dark aura, slashed the dragon’s back.
-Crash!
Her aura was denser than before, probably because she had trained during the summer vacation.
-Roar!
The dragon cried out in pain. Then, it twisted its body to try to shake Jenny off. Jenny held onto its scales tightly to avoid falling.
-Whoosh!
Willy attacked the dragon with a slash. The slash cut through the air with a loud sound. The dragon, thinking that the three people below couldn’t perform long-range attacks, widened its eyes in surprise.
-Crash!
However, it was too late to dodge. Willy’s slash hit the dragon, and a loud explosion sound rang out. At the same time,
-Thud!
The dragon fell to the ground.
“Ugh…”
Jenny landed on the ground lightly, rubbing her throbbing temples. It seemed like Willy had controlled her strength, as Jenny wasn’t seriously injured.
“Senior, are you okay?”
“Yes, Willy controlled her strength.”
Jenny nodded in response to Lisanna’s question, brushing off the dust from her clothes. Then,
-Roar!
The dragon, quite upset, opened its eyes wide. Then,
-Roar!
It opened its mouth. The three people, except for Jenny, tilted their heads, wondering what it was doing. However, Jenny immediately realized what it was trying to do.
“Everyone, get out of the way!”
Jenny grabbed Lisanna and Willy’s collars and threw them to the side. Then,
-Whoosh!
Jenny tackled Mark and rolled to the side. The three people were surprised by Jenny’s sudden move. Then,
-Crash!
Dense flames imbued with mana erupted from the dragon’s mouth. The place where the four people had been standing, along with the forest behind them, turned into black ash. The three people,
-Gulps!
Swallowed their saliva, their foreheads dripping with cold sweat. If it weren’t for Jenny’s help, they wouldn’t have died, but they would have been seriously injured. The three people were dumbfounded, but,
“You damn lizard, you’re still not giving up!”
Jenny, who had managed to keep her composure, drew her sword and ran towards the dragon. As she said, the dragon was in a groggy state. The three people, realizing this, followed Jenny.
“It’ll be over soon.”
Well, it was expected that the four of them would win. There was no need to mention the strength of two of them, and the other two were also quite strong.
‘Hmm. Jenny’s skills have improved a lot.’
During the final exams, she was only slightly stronger than the Cult members, but now she seemed to have become much stronger. No wonder she was using her sword skills with ease.
‘But what should I do?’
To be honest, it didn’t matter to him whether the dragon lived or died.
‘But it’s a pity to miss out on the points…’
After a while, Kaine finished his thoughts and came out of the inventory.
‘Well, let’s give it a try.’
At least he wouldn’t regret not doing anything. The next moment, Kaine looked at the map view again.
“…”
An unexpected scene appeared on the screen.
“What the hell?”
The dragon was running towards him! It seemed like a coincidence, but,
-Roar!
The Dragon Heart in his ring of dimensional storage was trembling, so it wasn’t a coincidence. As Kaine was surprised,
-Thud!
The dragon, which had run away from Jenny and her group, appeared in front of him.
‘Damn. Should I take out the Dragon Heart?’
Kaine decided to take a gamble. He took out the Dragon Heart from his ring of dimensional storage. Then,
-Whine…
The dragon wagged its tail and blinked its eyes. It looked like a puppy that had found a snack.
‘I don’t know what it is, but…’
He needed to take a gamble here. Kaine held out the Dragon Heart to the dragon. At the same time,
-Roar!
The dragon, sensing the opportunity, absorbed the Dragon Heart. Then,
-Thump! Thump!
The dragon’s heart started beating wildly. The next moment,
-Roar!
The dragon slowly shrank in size. A while later,
-Coo!
The dragon transformed into a small creature. Kaine was surprised by the unexpected turn of events and,
[The Goddess of Fate is startled by your appearance!]
Fate sent a message, expressing her surprise. What? What’s wrong with my appearance? Why is she so surprised? Kaine, not understanding, took out a hand mirror from his ring of dimensional storage.
“Damn.”
Kaine couldn’t help but curse. The mirror showed that his appearance had become quite similar to the dragonkin he had seen before.
“Damn, why do I look like this?!”
Kaine had dragon wings on his back, dragon-like pupils, and a lizard-like tail. As Kaine was stunned by his appearance,
-Coo!
The dragon, seeing him, acted cute. It seemed like the dragon beside him had become his subordinate. Otherwise, there was no reason for his appearance to change like this.
“Well, stay in here for now.”
Kaine put the dragon into his inventory.
‘It seems that subordinates can enter the inventory.’
Kaine checked his transformed appearance carefully. Then,
“Phew… Finally found you.”
Jenny appeared from the forest. Soon after, the other three people followed. Jenny pointed at Kaine, who was covered in armor and a helmet, and said,
“You’ve transformed like the dragon I saw before. This time, I won’t let you get away.”
…Huh? Me?
What do you think?
