Chapter 473

Episode 473 The

next day and the day after that.

Maktus’ attitude changed.

The gentle figure was only focused on Tansia’s training.

“That’s not it!”

“But...”

“Do as you say! “Don’t look down on the sky!”

Tansia cannot jump off even a slightly low hill.

Because Maktus has difficulty moving, he was trained without being able to see it in person.

“So... you could fly?”

Tansia shook her head.

Strangely enough, jumping and flying felt very different.

My heart was beating so fast and the low hills felt like steep cliffs.

The wings were completely frozen and did not move. Even if it has small wings, a dragon, a creature of hope, would definitely be able to increase its size.

“You idiot...”

“Hiyi...”

Maktus spat harsh words and urged me to continue training.

And in the end, when Tansia started crying, he didn’t know what to do and blamed himself.

“What? I’m so puffed up that all I can do is brag. Who am I to teach?”

“....”

“Ka-zan must have made me stay in Baldu because he was tired of it. I... was abandoned. “I’m... trash...”

Wah!

Tansia hugged Maktus, who was blaming himself.

“That’s a bad word.”

“....”

“Don’t say hurtful things.”

“....”

Maktus hugged Tansia.

“Sorry sorry. “I’m not good at flying... I can’t even fly anymore...”

“No, no, no.”

“I don’t have time, kid. It’s hard to breathe. “I need to see you flying.”

Maktus, as if he still had some regrets, projected his wishes onto Tansia.

The image of a majestic dragon freely roaming the sky.

Shoot...

And even those expectations were dashed the next night.

The rain poured down hard.

Shootaaaa...

Tansia quickly went down to Baldu’s village and shouted.

“Help me too! “Humans!”

“What... what’s going on!”

One by one, light gathered in the village where the lights were off.

“Maktus... Maktus....”

Baldu’s chief, Ka-Bu, answered Tansia’s urgent cry.

“Go quickly. “I guess the time has come.”

Wow...

Wow...

It was a strange procession.

All the residents of the unlit village jumped out and climbed the mountain without even caring about falling.

Everyone ran to the top of the mountain, which was only allowed to great warriors, in one month.

When they climbed the mountain, Maktus was out of breath in the rain.

Baldu’s shamans quickly joined in.

“It’s no use... It’s already... wrong...”

“...”

Maktus was running out of breath.

“Tansia... come closer... come.”

“Uuuu...”

Tancia came close to Maktus’ mouth, tears streaming down her face.

It was the innocence of a child that told me to speak comfortably.

“Being a dragon... has no choice but to fly for someone... who will continue to breathe under your wings. “That’s what a guardian is... keep in mind.”

“... Ugh.”

“I don’t doubt you... I don’t. “I’m sure when the time comes... I’ll be able to fly.”

Ka-Boo approached Maktus.

“Guardian of Maktus Baldu.”

“You’ve become quite... dignified.”

“... I am older than you. I am.”

“Ah... I see.”

“You are old, but you are still young.”

“That’s right... I did.”

“There are words my father left behind when he left the tribe. Would you like to listen?”

“Why are you saying that now... you damn bastard?”

“I told you to tell me when you are out of breath or when you are afraid of death. “If you are not afraid of death, I will not bother to say it.”

“I’m afraid... tell me quickly.”

Ka-Boo imitated his father’s speaking style.

“Maktus my dear friend. What was the rest of your life like? “Did you have a lot of fun?”

“... okay.”

“Do not be afraid of death, my friend. Come confidently.”

“... what?”

“... I’ll be waiting. “As always.”

“I will steal your soul from now on.”

“How dare you...”

said the spirit.

“There is someone waiting for you.”

At that moment, Maktus’ soul trembled. It’s because I remembered what I heard before I died.

– ...I’ll be waiting for you. As always.

The spirit grinned and guided Maktus. Maktus clung to the soul, unable to calm his trembling heart.

“I... drop me off.”

“why?”

“If I’m this old... what’s the use? If he sees me....”

“The soul doesn’t age. Your soul is still young?”

“... what?”

Maktus confirmed the image of himself shown by the soul.

This was the time when he was the king of the sky when he reached the peak of his physical body.

Whioooooo...

The soul escaped somewhere.

I still couldn’t tell where exactly this was.

The only thing I could feel was that a man was sitting with his back turned.

“I waited, Maktus.”

“....”

“Was it a happy life?”

Maktus went back to those days with just one sentence.

“Ka-zan! It was you! “It was you...”

“Hahahaha! “I can’t believe I can talk now!”

Maktus asked.

“Didn’t you... abandon me?”

“... No way. “You are my only partner.”

“....”

“I wanted to become a god. “I don’t know you... It’s all useless now.”

“... god?”

“ha ha ha! It failed spectacularly! I ended up slipping. “Maybe it was because you weren’t there?”

The man looked back.

As expected, it was Kazan.

“why are you crying?”

“Hahaha! He’s dead anyway! “It’s okay to cry over the death of my best friend!”

Kha-Zan asks.

“No shame, Maktus. “Can I ask you again?”

“... what?”

“Will you be my strength in the coming fight? “Friend.”

Kazan holds out his hand.

“Are you okay with me?”

“of course! “Because the dragon I ride is the strongest!”

Maktus smiled, showing his teeth.

“Then... of course.”

Hold hands.

Okay, this isn’t a very bad ending.

“Like always.”

* * *

Maktus’ body was cremated.

The fire is so hot that only bone fragments remain.

The bone meal was shared by everyone in Baldu. What to do with it was up to each person.

Some people may keep jars of bone powder in their homes like guardian spirits, while others may use them as catalysts for magic.

That is Baldu’s life.

The drake gives everything to Baldu, and Baldu gives love to the drake.

No one says it’s harsh.

It’s a life that everyone is satisfied with.

However, there was someone who had not yet been able to shake off the flames left behind by Maktus.

Tansia headed to the top of the mountain carrying a jar of bone powder.

It’s a flower.

Baldu scattered a lot of flowers in front of the statues of Maktus and Kha-Zan.

It was a loving dragon and a loved dragon.

“Maktus....”

– See my death up close. How shamefully the flightless dragon abandoned his life...

As a result, everything Maktus said turned out to be a lie.

His ending was one that everyone dreams of.

Tansia wanted to leave like that when the end came.

– Being a dragon... you have no choice but to fly for someone... who will continue to breathe under your wings. A Guardian is... that’s what... keep in mind.

Pusssss...

The bone dust in the jar was scattered in the wind.

The harsh wind of Wing Canyon guided the bone dust.

He held out his hand as if asking me to follow him.

“....”

Huuuuuung...

Tansia closed her mouth tightly and threw herself into the cliff.

Is it a fall?

Is it a flight?

The legend of Wing Canyon is not over yet. Unlike Maktus, the girl has only just begun her adventure.

No, in fact, even Maktus was continuing the legend...

It was midday on a rough day the day before the resurrection ceremony of the three giants.
