Chapter 259: The Land Dragons Nest (3)

First, I’ll track Alremene stealthily.For this plan to work, I can’t lose sight of her for even a moment.

Fortunately, we now have the advantage in numbers.

I’ll have Emilia stay apart, just in case we’re discovered.

She needs to move separately for the next phase of the plan.

“You hiding there, come out!”

She spotted me!

She’s much sharper than I thought.

But there’s no need to panic.

‘You’re the one who’s afraid, right?’

Alremene must be scared.

If her opponent doesn’t show themselves, her fear will only grow.

Especially if that opponent is the cruel one who crushed Cayen and broke his horn… and continues to remain hidden…!

“Didn’t you hear me!? Come out!”

Like a small animal puffing itself up to bluff, her emotions are bound to show.

‘Emilia, please.’

An explosion echoed from above.

And an intense heat that felt like it was piercing my skin!

Emilia, her cooldown recovered, has drawn her Crimson Sword and is on a rampage.

“You’re still here?”

Good.

Emilia’s rampage will naturally distract her from my presence.

Alremene would never dream…

That I, who was almost torn in two by a dragon’s maw, am not only alive after being at death’s door….

But that I also defeated the Dragon Knights and the Black Dragon Cayen!

‘I can use a proper Aura Deployment once more.’

The duration varies depending on the content of the monologue, but it’s best to assume I only have one chance.

Emilia’s Fire Dragon Unleashed is also limited to one more use.

And the same goes for Alremene!

Once we’ve both exhausted our trump cards….

The Land Dragon will be mine!

“… …! Cayen, wake up… Your body is heavy!”

This was unexpected.

Given her personality, I thought she’d immediately retaliate against the intruders….

But it seems she’s trying to move Cayen to safety first.

Seeing her small body struggling to support Cayen made me feel a little sorry for her.

‘But I won’t go easy on her.’

I lowered my body and followed Alremene.

I got close enough that it wouldn’t be strange if I was discovered immediately, but Alremene didn’t notice.

She didn’t have the time to calmly observe her surroundings.

Because Emilia was destroying her nest.

“. Seriously!”

Good, it’s going according to plan.

Emilia will destroy the nest and distract the Land Dragon…

And I’ll seize the opportunity to strike.

A diversionary tactic.

I told Emilia to pretend to fight if she encountered the Land Dragon, then disengage.

Once the Land Dragon uses her breath, it’ll be easy.

‘Is this Alremene’s room?’

The room was dimly lit.

The faint lighting was surprisingly good for hiding.

It seemed Alremene lived like a queen in this room.

A luxurious bed, as if denying the loneliness of living alone, dazzling artworks and jewels.

Classical music flowing softly from a record player….

A heart-shaped bathtub too big for one person, rose petals scattered as if prepared for someone else.

Even a dragon is still a woman, and this room was filled with a woman’s secret life and preferences.

And… that sanctuary was now shaking as if it would collapse at any moment.

“I’m going, I’m going! Geez, so impatient!”

Alremene laid Cayen on the bed and turned around.

Good thing I hid behind the bathtub….

Alremene rushed out to fight Emilia.

I slightly opened the door and leaned against the wall, and I could hear them talking!

“Cut it out! Why are you interfering with us when you’re supposed to be neutral?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Is an apology enough? …After you broke his horn. So, you broke Cayen’s horn as revenge?”

“…Yes, I broke it because it was too noisy.”

Good job, Emilia!

Provoke her more!

“Did you find your precious blonde boy? If you search the bottom of the lake thoroughly, you might find him in pieces!”

“I’ll tear you into pieces and scatter you at the bottom of the lake too.”

Women’s arguments are scary….

If that’s how she acts while pretending, I can’t imagine what Emilia would have said if I had actually been torn to pieces at the bottom of the lake….

“Sigh, You can make that kind of expression too? I can’t believe it. You pretended to be innocent, saying you hadn’t known conflict for hundreds of years!”

“Pretended to be innocent? I hate fighting.”

“You were the Queen’s right hand, weren’t you?”

“….”

“I’m a dragon who grew up watching the Fire Dragon Empress. Don’t tell such obvious lies in front of me….”

“Child.”

Emilia is… angry….

I can feel the rage in her voice.

“Do you want to know what happens when you gossip about someone else’s past?”

“You should have acted like this from the beginning. Then I wouldn’t have thought of you as a cowardly dragon.”

“I’m not cowardly. I’ve become wise. You’ll learn that too.”

“Don’t lump me in with you. I’m still active. I don’t intend to cling to a man and get fat like you!”

“…Fat?”

Oh my god…!

Emilia, you’re not actually mad, are you?

Just lure out the Land Dragon’s special attack with your acting!

“Fire Dragon Unleashed!”

“Land Dragon Unleashed!”

Oh no!

They both charged their ultimate moves!

I couldn’t even stand straight because of the ground shaking like an earthquake.

As I stumbled out the door, a tremendous blast of heat hit me.

One of them must have summoned lightning clouds because the electrical discharges wouldn’t stop.

Are they fighting right above me?

I could see Emilia’s face through the destroyed ceiling.

It seemed Emilia and Alremene were facing each other across a giant hole in the floor.

The hole looked like a one-way ticket to the abyss.

The hole had become a giant trap due to Emilia’s rampage to destroy the nest, combined with the collapsing space erased by Cayen’s Black Dragon Draw.

Emilia and I made eye contact.

“Don’t get distracted! Draw!”

“Draw!”

Emilia threw herself into the hole, countering the Land Dragon’s lightning breath with a firestorm.

Amazing!

She deflected it diagonally!

So that’s possible. Dragon mom is amazing!

“You dare mess with my nest…!”

Alremene leaped.

Her target was Emilia, airborne.

Did she actually have the strength to use it again?!

Even though she’ll fall after attacking!

“Do you think you can escape!?”

Alremene released a chilling electrical current.

A blinding ball of light condensed at the tip of her thin, golden sword, like a lightning rod.

Like the very essence of thunder and lightning!

Even Dragon Gramps would die if he got hit by that!

“Aura Deployment!”

The Anti-Dragon Invincible Barrier is too late!

I decided to fling Emilia away.



I’ll shove her into the hallway across from us!

I didn’t know if it was possible. There wasn’t even time to think.

With extreme concentration, I grasped the space where Emilia would fall and flung her away!

“What…!?”

Alremene was completely taken aback.

To her, it must have looked like Emilia, floating in mid-air, suddenly vanished.

Emilia was flung into the opposite hallway and immediately lost consciousness.

It’s too late to change the trajectory of her attack!

Alremene’s lightning strike passed between me and Emilia and plunged into the abyss.

For a moment, all sound disappeared, and an immense pressure enveloped me.

That’s no joke…!

How did dragon mom manage to fling something like that in the direction she wanted?

“Un… believable….”

I ran towards Alremene, who was falling powerlessly.

“You….”

“Woohoo! Blonde, busty, twintailed Land Dragon sis, get!

“Noooo!”

I’ve been waiting for this moment!

I dove towards the Land Dragon sis’s chest as she instinctively tried to push me away!

I embraced her and we crashed into the hallway across from where Emilia landed.

“”

“”

My back is breaking!

The impact of the crash felt like my insides were turning over.

I instinctively protected Alremene’s head, but she remained unconscious.

This is… even better!

“Ugh… Ug

Huh? She’s not unconscious?

Alremene’s eyes were open as she feebly moved her limbs, desperately trying to hold onto consciousness.

“You’re… alive…. How….”

“That’s not important. Let’s start the process of you becoming my woman.”

“No… Ug

She finally lost consciousness and fainted.

I kissed Alremene’s unconscious lips.

The sweet taste of victory!

After a fierce battle that nearly destroyed half the nest, I finally got my hands on a blonde, busty, twintailed beautiful girl.

What’s with this slingshot bikini? Is she telling me not to hold back?

“…”

I felt dizzy, probably because all the blood rushed to my head.

I might faint too at this rate.

I tied Alremene’s hands and feet with the training rope, then picked up Emilia.

I avoided the hole in the floor and headed to Alremene’s room.

It was the nicest room I’d seen so far.

As I was about to lay her on the bed, I noticed Cayen already occupying a spot.

….

It felt kind of gross to lay them together.

While I was pondering what to do with Emilia in my arms….

“”

Cayen opened his eyes.

He was gasping for breath, as if he’d had a terrible nightmare.

“Hey. Move.”

“”

Cayen flinched and backed away when he saw me.

I guess I was the subject of his nightmare.

“Why are you so surprised?”

Cayen touched his horn, then hung his head with a dejected expression.

“My horn! My prized black horn….”

“Is it more important than your life?”

“It’s more important than my life! Without it, I can’t return to my original form.”

“What good is that if you’re dead?”

“Don’t you know what a life more shameful than death is?”

“Enough with the nonsense. Move.”

I laid Emilia on the bed.

“This place….”

Cayen seemed to finally realize that this was Alremene’s room.

“The fact that you and this woman are here means, don’t tell me!”

“Alremene lost.”

“Impossible. How could a mere human defeat a high-ranking ancient dragon?”

“Then how did you lose to a mere human?”

“…I’m a relatively low-ranking dragon. But Alremene is different, she’s… one of the true ancient dragons.”

“So, I’m going to enjoy this true ancient dragon now, so you should go back to your nest.”

Cayen blocked my path.

“No.”

“You want your other horn broken too?”

“, Are you planning to break Alremene’s horns too?”

“I will. And I’ll do worse things.”

“Can’t you just take my life and be satisfied?”

“Didn’t you say not to assign meaning to things? That you haven’t seen each other enough to develop romantic feelings?”

“I can’t just stand by and watch…! A human, no less, defiling an ancient dragon…!”

“Oh really?”

Without hesitation, I punched Cayen in the gut.

“”

“I don’t want to get my hands dirty, so just watch quietly.”

Right….

Alremene seemed to have a soft spot for this guy.

Let’s use him as a stimulant.

“Cayen.”

“What….”

“Dragons don’t get lockjaw even if they sleep in cold places, do they?”

“What?”

I decided to leave Cayen in the corner.

I thoroughly taped his mouth and tied his limbs so he couldn’t make any noise.

In his current state, even these simple measures were enough to completely immobilize him.

“”

“You brought this on yourself. If you’re grateful to be alive, you should have stayed quiet.”

I left Cayen in the bathroom.

More precisely, I left him in the space behind the toilet booth and closed the curtain.

“I’ll bring Alremene, so wait.”

“”

I laid the unconscious Alremene next to Emilia.

Seeing them like this, the difference in their height was striking.

Emilia, with her overwhelming height and chest, and Alremene, the petite but well-endowed blonde, busty, twintailed beauty.

Her perfectly symmetrical pair of brown horns were quite impressive. They sprouted from her temples and curved forward, resembling a crown.

I stroked the ancient dragon’s proud horns.

“”

Cayen thrashed and made noises from behind the curtain.

It seemed my caressing of her horns had struck a nerve with the “exalted being’s” pride.

It was something Cayen couldn’t tolerate. Sёarch* The NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

So, horns are that important to you, huh?

Emilia wasn’t exaggerating….

This makes things even more interesting.

What about Alremene?

This blonde, busty, twintailed beauty who had been trying to kill me….

How much will she unravel if her horns are broken?

I gently caressed her unconscious horns.

“She’s unguarded for an ancient dragon….”

“”



“If you don’t wake up…, the human might break them…?”

I whispered into Alremene’s ear.

“Ug

Alremene stirred as if sensing a disturbing presence, but she didn’t wake up.

I pulled aside her slingshot bikini.
