The Foreigner on the Periphery - Chapter 159

The old dragon, Raymond Wong, had awakened from a terrible nightmare. He was in the basement of a mansion that had been half-destroyed recently.

‘What kind of dream was this?’ He had no energy and my whole body felt heavy. The elder dragon soon gave up chewing the cud of memories. This had happened a lot these days: a feeling of tingling in the bones and fluttering of the scales. It was difficult to even move one finger.

“Raymond.” He noticed that he was awake, and from there heard a voice outside the door.

“Come in.” At this, the butler hesitated and showed his expression. Most of the employees took a sick leave and lay down sick after being hit by the dragon blood rain sprinkled by their employer not long ago, and those who remained to assist were mostly human.

In addition to this, Raymond looked as unwell as those who couldn’t come to work. In the bedroom tailored to the dragon’s main body, the thunder dragon lay limp in a coil. The secretary reported cautiously. “Elder dragon Jenkinson has sent a message. The content is a proposal to move up the schedule of the Dragon Lord election scheduled for 93 days later, and that the Balaur level response to the recent hostile act of the committee cannot be delayed until after the election…”

“Tell me that I and all the dragons who support me agree with Jenkinson and vote on the new schedule with him.” A short silence passed. The butler was taken aback by Raymond’s way of speaking, as if he were reciting previously prepared lines, and was stunned by the content contained in it.

“I… I was wondering if I heard it wrong just now.”

The old dragon was booming! He felt tired and weak, but he felt annoyed when he held onto his horse’s tail and stretched it out. “Don’t make me say it twice, go away!”

“Yes, yes!” The butler went away in a panic. Originally, messages between ancient dragons were not entrusted to others, but it was common for dragons to transmit them directly, especially if it was something important like this.

However, Raymond truly didn’t have the strength to do that. He lowered his raised head again, and he put it on top of the rounded body.

Neither the butler nor Raymond himself could see it, but his vitality was depleted unlike a dragon. During the short time he was asleep, he had shrunk to a bizarre extent. Even right before he had his dream, part of his memory had disappeared as if it had been cut out.

Goryong felt curious for a moment, but quickly forgot the curiosity. He then focused on the internals. His energy was failing, but he was strangely not even hungry. It was a strange situation in which the stomach was strong, but the strength itself was drained.

He muttered inwardly. ‘I can’t stand it. I need to go back to sleep.’

The old dragon closed his eyes and soon fell asleep. In addition to this, he had a nightmare again. It was a dream in which black mist gathered from all sides and sharpened its blade to pierce his body. Blood flowed endlessly from his wounds and filled the inside of the Rare to create a red lake.

The dragon screamed inaudibly in the dream.

The wind tore through the skies. Searching for the fallen dragon, he rode on Adkiel’s back and rode through the sky. The ground beneath his feet flowed like a mighty river. The forest that met the sunset approached him at a cool speed, then moved away behind him.

‘Where the hell are you?’

The dog tag inserted into the guy’s body did not respond to the livestock management system. It was a chronic problem with products powered by horsepower batteries. All in all, the power went out at this bad time.

Eventually, he had to resort to primitive methods. During the flight, the tracking magic exploded several times to cover all directions. In addition to this, he backtracked the guy’s path. In addition to the tedious, simple repetitive work, it was not easy to consume mana. It would be nice to be able to cover an entire planet in one spell, but that was still in the realm of fantasy.

‘I need to improve my dog tags. I think it would be better to change the material first. Even the power supply.’

Part of the ritual was spent searching for dragons, while the other part had been spent figuring out how to develop the system. ‘It would be nice to replace the dog tag itself with an organic material instead of implanting a metal foreign substance as it is now. The tracking function basically checks the history of livestock products with it. So that information is automatically updated. Then it will be much easier to manage. So, for example…’

He soon came up with the most suitable model. ‘Yeah, how about mixing it with blood? Rather than a dog tag… it’s going to be an effective recognition system, right? Power is replaced with the dragon’s life force. Then there’s no way it will ever go out.’

It was a thought that started out of annoyance because of the high-difficulty task of ‘finding a dragon in the middle of the mountain’, but the idea was gradually taking shape. Of course, it was still just an idea and lacked the technology to turn it into reality. However, he knew that all improvement started this way. It seemed like an idea worth developing further.

‘Hmm?’ His thoughts, which he had been contemplating on improving the livestock product identification tag for a long time while cutting through the air, were cut off for a moment. ‘This direction…’

He then focused once more on the original purpose, the wanted dragon. The route led to an unexpected place.

He clicked his tongue. ‘Why did you come here when there’s nothing to eat around here?’

He checked again, but there was no doubt. The traces of the dragon lead to the place where he had enshrined his late teacher. It was an unexpected destination for him. “I think it’s going to be around here somewhere.” He lowered his hand and scratched Adkiel’s chin, giving instructions. “From here, let’s land first and then walk around looking for it.”

“Kreureung!” As a sign of agreement, Adkiel lowered his altitude. The sun had already set when we set off, so the surroundings were quite dark. He got off the dragon and landed with both feet.

“Where have you been, you bastard…” He walked through the deep forest with Adkiel. As if he was happy with the walk that had taken over his owner for the first time in a while, he hurriedly ran out, then looked back and urged him, on the contrary, sent him out in front of him and followed him leisurely from behind, sniffing the surroundings, and rubbed his tail on his shoulder several times to attract attention.

“…!” Then, Adkiel suddenly stopped walking. The atmosphere in his eyes changed in an instant. “Kleurrureung!”

Even before the gold dragon glared at a spot and growled, he knew what was there. He figured it out in advance, so he deliberately decided to bypass this place. In front of them was what looked like an ordinary weed colony. Nothing special seemed.

However, he and Adkiel took note of what was below. Finding lost livestock was important, but he couldn’t just pass by because he had already seen it. He licked his lips. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at – “ ”

Magical power then began to flow like heavy water. Papapat! An intangible force scratched the earth. A wild noise echoed through the woods. Invisible claws dug into the ground, dug to a certain depth, and lifted the soil. Weed roots and mounds of soil were then scattered in the sky. A few pretty heavy rocks rose up.

Helplessly, the inner flesh of the earth was revealed. What was hidden in the soft soil there was… Wiggle! Wiggle!

“Cra!” The dragon howled with full force of the enemy.

“Ugh.” He frowned, unable to hide his disgust. The place that had been dug in the ground was similar to a snake’s den. However, instead of scales, thousands of wriggling creatures had their long bodies covered with brown fur.

Originally, those who lived in darkness twisted their bodies in bewilderment. Even though it was around sunset, it was because of the sunlight that had not yet completely lost its prestige.

“There must have been a hole dug by the Kavites in this place.” This place was too close to the barn. Dragons wandering in search of food could accidentally touch it and get bitten.

He decided to sweep the road and pass by. The method was the same as usual. They were weak against the cold, so he froze them quickly and then pulverized them. He aimed with his hand. As always, there would be no pain in the process.

‘You shouldn’t brutally harm a harmful beast. I like to make it as comfortable as possible. And… I have to think carefully about making it completely extinct because it’s annoying.’

A nostalgic voice echoed in his ears. From what he had heard, the master had trouble developing this ranch because of a creature called Loggrass. They were flying beasts with transparent wings on their backs and pointed spikes on their snouts, but because of the harm they did to the dragons, the master caught and killed all of them.

As a result, he heard that he suffered for a while because the balance of the planet’s ecosystem was disrupted. Because of this, the master did not exterminate the Kavite, which was the next most harmful, and he also continued to maintain them.

However, it was only right to catch and kill those near the barn as soon as one were to see them. With one order… all of them were pain-free and peaceful… Kwajik!

‘Huh?’ The moment he came to his senses, the smell of raw food that became even more disgusting stung his nose.

His gaze shifted downward. His feet, which had moved at some point, had trampled the Kavite in chunks. The elongated bodies exploded, organs leaked out, and various bodily fluids soaked their shoes.

“Kyaaaaa! Kyaaaaaa!” Feeling threatened, the carbites opened their mouths and attacked his legs.

However, they couldn’t penetrate his protection. He waved his hand impassively. Following the trajectory, the intangible blade scratched the ground.

Patter! The beasts broke apart and then soared into the sky. They did not die even when their bodies were cut into five pieces. It crawled across the floor alive while squirming in bodily fluids. Like a protozoa, the cut pieces showed signs of regenerating bit by bit.

That fact made him very uncomfortable. If one were to cut it into five pieces and it didn’t die, it would be disastrous. He didn’t know what he was doing. Nevertheless, he could not resist the pulsating urge. After looking into that emotion for a long time, he was able to discern what he felt eventually.

Anger. A seething anger that could be cooled or turned away. It was different from usual. The reason was unknown. He couldn’t afford a comfortable death for those ducklings. He wanted to bully them in the most brutal way possible, with the most miserable pain allowed.

Wheein! Power rotated in the air. It was a structure in which very small blades swirled rapidly. He lowered it slowly. The wild beasts still rushed at them, but to no avail.

Kwajijik! Thick flesh and gore splattered everywhere. The blender made of magical power took the form of a sphere. It rolled over the Kavite cluster like a ball. The Kavite was ground and sprayed along the way. he murmurs.

However, it was still not enough More… More brutal. Compared to what they had suffered…

“·······?!”

Roaring! The heat seemed to cook one’s cheeks. His trance-like mind returned to reality. he turned his head.

Adkiel was busy confronting the Kavite. Dragons didn’t normally eat such disgusting creatures. However, after seeing Minjun’s actions, he seemed to think that he should help. However, the number of animals was too many.

Adkiel was perplexed. He was so impatient that he even started burning fire, which was strictly forbidden by the owner.

“That guy!” His mind returned to full normal, and he was stunned by the scene before his eyes. There were many masters who surgically removed the flamethrower protrusions in the throats of fire dragons, but the master and he were against such human-centered cruelty.

Adkiel could thus breathe fire too, but he used to resist the urge very well. However, in an emergency like this, instinct tended to run ahead. ‘That could start a forest fire!’

Wildfire. As a dragon slayer, it was the worst disaster he could imagine. At that moment, a Kavite flew powerfully into the air. Aiming for the Fire Dragon’s blind spot, it hung with its snout attached to the nape of its neck.

Adkiel’s eyes widened. The Kavite’s body, which was like a slender whip, swelled up in an instant. It was amazing speed. “Cya la la la!” Adkiel made a fuss about this and spewed fire in all directions. He reached out before the fireworks show burned through the primeval forest.

Kwajijik! Adkiel lost one of his scales. “Cara la la la!”

Beside the screamer, the Kavite that had been biting down her neck was ripped open. Patter! The fragments that fell to the ground were mixed with bright red blood in addition to their natural green bodily fluid.

‘You sucked a lot in a short amount of time!’ He felt extremely annoyed and angry. However, the anger this time was a little different from the one that burned his head just before. To put it mildly, it was anger that touched the rational realm.

For a long time, he had managed to resist the urge to slice the Kavite slowly. Eventually, after a few minutes, he completely bailed out the Kavite. He was no longer alive. There were no wriggling pieces to be seen.

“Kiyiying!” Adkiel then approached, all with tears welling up in his large eyes. He indicated he was injured and held out the nape of his neck to look over here.

Clicking his tongue, he took out his medicine from the space and applied it. And when he scratched the scruff of his neck, he purred with a pleasant sound.

‘The aggression is getting worse. Wouldn’t it be better to just wipe it out and make it extinct?’

If he had been out of his mental state just before, he might have made that decision. However, he had already regained his reason.

‘Let’s put that aside for now. However, it is clear that this is a stage that can no longer be overlooked.’

The economic loss caused by blood vampirism was negligible. However, it was a matter of pride as a dragon slayer. He had said that it was impossible for a wild animal to covet the blood of the cattle he had raised. And while it was fine now, it could create new problems after a long time.

He took out from the drawer of his memory again what he planned from before and began to tinker with it. ‘It would be better to get rid of the source of the problem than to clean up the tribe because of the present problem.’

The best thing was to make those sea beasts learn to no longer target the dragon. Dragon’s blood, to be exact. ‘Why don’t we turn dragon blood into something that Kavites can’t eat?’

His thoughts expanded further. ‘No, not just Kavite…’

Something that no one could eat except his own people.
