47 Echidna (3)

'What, these bastards?'

Rain looked at the blonde young man who was stirring his arms at him with a complex expression.

'Are they foreign players?'

A blonde raised to the waist, typical Western Americans look, with gorgeous armor and a golden sword that looks like it's going to get overwhelming.

They could not be thought of as ordinary people.

'No, wait.'

Rain even confirmed the appearance of the party members who followed behind the blonde youth and hardened their faces.

Each of his party members holds a hammer, shield, bow and staff.

There was nothing wrong with a man with a shield and a woman with brown hair holding a staff.

The problem is a dwarf with a hammer and a blond woman with a bow.

Dwarves and elves? '

A dwarf with a round body that looks like he'll roll if he hits it, but a blonde with long ears was the only appearance a woman could describe as an elf.

'They look like they came out of some fantasy novel.'

Rain looked at them with a confused look.

A blonde young man in the lead rushed to the rain and shouted.

"Argh! Uh, come on!"

"Relax, Raynald!"

An elf archer approaching the blonde boy stopped him and set him up.

"Look at that Magical Dragon. You're about to die already."

"Ah…."

"There won't be anyone else's damage."

"Phew. Thank God."

Just as the blonde young man was awake, he sighed in relief.

"... Who are you?"

Rain used the power of the Word to ask in the language they speak.

The blonde boy opened his mouth in a friendly voice.

"I am Raynald von Arnan, King of the Arnan Empire."

"... The Arnan Empire?"

"Yes. Are you...?"

"……."

Rain looked at them with a confused look as if they could not understand this situation at the moment.

The words that the dimensional gate that leads to the Ernor continent had just appeared, and the word Arnan Empire that Raynald spoke, hovered in his head.

"Are you really from around the world? '

There was not much to guess from the two facts.

A gate opens to the continent of Ernor, where people appear with their summons.

Even among them were Dwarves and Elves.

In the head of the rains, it was hypothesized that their identity was worldly.

[Whoops. Ugh.]

When the rains are in chaos, Echidna's painful groans flow into his ears.

As the rains turn their heads, Echidna, who is wounded by the whole body, is staring at him with a faint breath.

"Shit."

As soon as the summoner waited for a week, the rainy look distorted, thinking he might die.

'We need to heal.'

If I lost my summon this time in vain, I couldn't summon another summon for three months.

'You can't do that.'

The time of three months was not that long, nor was the presence of a summoner supposed to be absent from the rain.

But even so, I couldn't lose my summons so foolishly.

Rain approaches Echidna, who seems to be dying right away, and raises her hand to the giant body.

"Now, wait!"

"What are you doing!"

Rain approached Echidna, raising her hand, and Raynald approached him with an urgent cry.

The rain turned its head towards him and opened its mouth in a low voice.

"This is my summons. I don't know why you're trying to kill me, but I can't let you do that."

"Khh! You!"

"You were the master of the Dragon!"

Raynald's party hurriedly pulled out his weapon and aimed for rain.

The rains ignored them and put their hands on Echidna's wounds.

'He's bleeding bad.'

Blood was continuing to flow from the long split scales.

Rain made a small blade with the power of the blade and cut off the palm of his hand.

'The power of regeneration.'

His palms were bleeding along the vane marks. His blood with regenerative power seeped into Echidna's wounds.

[Whoops...] Whoo.. Who is it?]

Echidna's wounds began to heal rapidly.

The dragon sighs down on the ground and stares at the rain.

[Ah…. You, my lord, are the master.]

Seeing the rain, she murmured in a voice mixed with relief as if she had realized something.

Transparent tears fell in the eyes of a dragon of only one size.

[Me, don't. This is what it looks like.]

"……."

Her voice echoes in her head, not through fostering.

Rain looked down at Echidna with a stiff expression.

'I don't know what's going on.'

It seemed clear from the message thread that she perceived herself as the 'owner'.

'And now this situation.'

Rain gazes at Raynald's party, who pulls out his weapon, looking at himself with vigilant eyes.

It was not difficult to predict who the people who made Echidna's wounds were now.

"You, reveal yourself!"

"Let's just ask one thing."

Realizing that they had driven their summons to death, the rains immediately stopped scaring.

I couldn't let Echidna die because I didn't blow away the time of three months.

They were shedding their apparent flesh towards Echidna.

As long as it had a contradictory purpose, it was inevitable to confront them, and there was no need to harbor enemies who had to fight.

"Why are you trying to kill Echidna?"

"He's an evil dragon!"

"What specifically did you do?"

Rain tried to talk to Raynald's party.

More precisely, I began to earn the time needed to treat Echidna.

'I want to know what's going on now.'

He just wanted to summon a high-ranking infernal monster.

Suddenly, there was an unknown situation in this world.

"Terrible drought and plague! The magic of the Mage has cost the Empire so many lives! Is that what you did?"

Raynald shouts at him with an eye full of hatred.

'Drought and plague...?'

It was vague to be specific.

[I told you, this is not what I did.....]

"Shut up! Evil Demon Dragon! Who would have done that if it weren't for you!"

In Echidna's words, Raynald shouts in an angry voice as if he were going to have a seizure.

The rain looked at him with an absurd look.

'Natural phenomena, man.'

The Witch Trial of the Middle Ages came to mind.

Terrible history of brutally reconciling the wrong women because they thought drought and natural disasters were someone else's intentions.

'Well, I don't know what the truth is.'

According to Raynald, someone else could have deliberately created drought and plague.

The world he lived in was a world where magic existed.

I couldn't even think of it as a natural phenomenon.

'But.'

Rain looks down at Echidna, who is breathing poorly.

At least I thought it would not be Echidna who created the drought and plague.

Less than a few minutes after we met, I wasn't thinking about this because of my trust in Echidna.

'How to make a drought.'

It could be an epidemic, but in case of drought, it had to be strong enough to intentionally adjust the atmosphere.

Force adjustment of the atmosphere was literally interfering with the destiny of a world.

To put it a little exaggerated, it was a force that could destroy the world.

Among the demons, there was no way that Echidna could do what she couldn't do more than supply.

"Are you just trying to kill Echidna with that situation?"

"Simple! Do you know how much the Empire suffered and died from the drought?"

"How do I know that?"

"Even to save them, the dragon must die!"

Raynald shouts at the rain with a burning eye of justice.

The rains opened their eyes and looked at Raynald.

'You don't like him.'

He was the type of man he hated the most.

The stubbornness of closing your ears, blindfolding and moving forward in the name of piercing justice.

Explicitly speaking, idiots who don't speak.

[Haa. Haa.]

"……."

Echidna's rough breath improved slightly after the power of regeneration was exerted.

The wounds, which continued to spill blood, also appeared to be healing at a rapid rate.

'I think I've had enough time.'

Because the wound is too deep, there is more time to fully heal.

You may need this, but it seemed like the treatment was over until you roughly didn't lose your life.

'Summon.'

Rain quietly looked down at Echidna, who had a huge body spanning more than 20 meters.

The summoning of the beast that started in anticipation of Kerberos was a very strange situation.

But if you just look at the results, it was never bad.

'But it's a dragon.'

It was amazing to be able to summon one dragon as a summoner.

I don't know if it's similar to Kerberos or a little weak right now, but it's not comparable to a dragon in terms of growth possibilities.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you kill my son Echidna. This is my summoning."

Rain took his hands off Echidna and turned towards Raynald.

Of course, there was no guarantee that Echidna did not create drought and plague.

Even if drought was impossible, it was possible to create an epidemic.

Indeed, Reynald could have been a righteous warrior, an evil creature that Echidna so ferociously massacred.

'What does that have to do with anything?'

All that mattered to rainfall was the fact that Echidna was worthy enough as a summoner.

I use all things that can benefit me.

Eliminate any damages that could be caused.

It wasn't important for rainfall other than for her to be evil.

She was worthwhile.

The rain wasn't stupid enough to throw the winning lottery to the ground.

"You evil devil!"

Raynald shouts at him with a burning voice of justice.

Rain blew a feeding laugh at his cry.

"I'm the devil, man."
