Chapter 53: Return, Mission Completed
Chapter 53: Return, Mission Completed
The Flame Dragon actually turned into a big-breasted lady, which was something Yecheng and the others hadn't anticipated.
Cui, looking at the Flame Dragon before her, once again showed a look of dissatisfaction on her face. She realized that her competition might just increase by one more.
The Flame Dragon, now a dragon lady, not only had an explosive figure but also had a face that could rival any beauty. Apart from her peculiar preference for women, she was almost flawless in every other aspect.
Initially, Cui's intuition had told her that something bad would happen during this mission to exterminate the Flame Dragon. At first, she thought this unease was due to the danger, but in the end, it turned out to be something entirely different.
As for Shima Yousuke, he remained calm about the Flame Dragon recognizing Yecheng as her master and transforming into a beautiful lady. He had always treated this otherworld as a game, and in his view, such transformations were quite common in games. As a huge fan of "Sega," Shima Yousuke's interest in games far outweighed his interest in beautiful women.
The Flame Dragon was one of the most powerful bosses in this otherworld, and with her long life, she knew many things that Yecheng and the others did not.
So when she heard that Yecheng and Shima Yousuke were from another world and had come to this one as "travelers," she looked enlightened.
According to the Flame Dragon, she was not the first to encounter travelers. In the past, there were even some reckless travelers who tried to defeat her to gain fame, only to end up as her appetizers.
Travelers as strong as Yecheng and Shima Yousuke were extremely rare among the "heroes" who had come to this world in the past.
However, when Shima Yousuke asked how to return to their original world, even the Flame Dragon, who knew many secrets, shook her head in ignorance.
Even though she was one of the most powerful creatures in this world, she was not a "sage" and could not understand the mysteries of this world.
Moreover, Yecheng and Shima Yousuke, while considered travelers, were more like reborn beings in this world. Their flesh and blood, including the magic circuits in their bodies, were all unique to this world.
Even if they could find a way back to their original world, it would be uncertain if they would still be the same "themselves."
With the Flame Dragon now under Yecheng's control as a subordinate, it would be inappropriate to try to skin her or extract her essence.
However, this trip wasn't entirely in vain for Yecheng and the others, because the Flame Dragon, being a dragon, had the habit of collecting treasures.
"Little brother's things are big brother's things, and big brother's things... are still big brother's things."
The Flame Dragon watched as Yecheng shamelessly said these words while continuously stuffing the treasures she had collected over the years into his spatial storage.
To be fair, as a dragon who had been around for a long time, the Flame Dragon's wealth was indeed quite substantial. While it might not be enough to rival a nation, this haul was enough for Yecheng to retire comfortably.
Compared to the Flame Dragon, the Venomous Dragon was a complete pauper. Despite being a dragon, the Venomous Dragon's meager wealth was a disgrace to their dragon race!
On the way back, Yecheng did not allow the Flame Dragon to follow, citing that although she had transformed into a dragon lady, she still had her dragon horns and tail. Entering a village or town with these features would inevitably cause a disturbance.
Since Yecheng possessed "Summoning Magic," he could always summon the Flame Dragon to assist in battle whenever needed. Therefore, even if the Flame Dragon stayed in its lair, it wouldn’t have a significant impact.
Both the elf maiden Cui and the Flame Dragon were quite pleased with Yecheng’s decision. Cui was happy because she had one less formidable competitor, while the Flame Dragon was simply relieved that, as a legendary dragon, it wouldn’t have to act as a mere follower anymore.
The Flame Dragon even hoped that Yecheng would forget about her. No matter how powerful Yecheng was, human lifespans were only about a hundred years. If she took a nap, Yecheng might already be a handful of yellow earth by the time she woke up. Then, she could regain her freedom and go find more female dragons.
After achieving their goal, Yecheng and his companions first returned to the village to return the "Frost Divine Sword" to Mabel Raybell. The ice clan girl, who had opened a new world through manga, had now completely transformed into a true otaku girl.
After reading the few manga sets that Yecheng and his companions borrowed the "Frost Divine Sword" with, the deeply addicted girl even tried to trade the "Frost Divine Sword," which she relied on for survival, for more manga.
Naturally, Yecheng and Shima Yousuke found such unscrupulous behavior despicable. Besides, with the Flame Dragon now acting as their enforcer, the Frost Divine Sword wasn’t as useful to them anymore.
The Frost Divine Sword was powerful, but to Yecheng and Shima Yousuke, it seemed to be just that. Moreover, it was a treasure of the ice clan. Stealing a girl’s life-sustaining divine artifact with some manga books was not something they would stoop to.
"Lord Hero, did you successfully slay the legendary Flame Dragon on this journey?"
Compared to the manga books, the villagers were more concerned about whether Yecheng and his companions had successfully slain the legendary Flame Dragon. When they saw the three of them return the Frost Divine Sword, they were even more anxious to know the outcome of their mission.
"The Flame Dragon was too powerful. Even with the Frost Divine Sword, we couldn’t successfully slay it this time."
However, the villagers needn’t worry. Although the Flame Dragon didn’t die, it was severely injured by us and shouldn’t be able to cause trouble for a while.
"These are the dragon scales and some dragon blood it dropped during our battle."
Initially, the villagers looked disappointed when they heard that Yecheng and his companions hadn’t successfully slain the Flame Dragon. However, when they heard Yecheng’s subsequent words and saw the red dragon scales and blood he presented, their expressions immediately turned to one of joy.
The villagers had never truly seen the legendary Flame Dragon, but from the size of the dragon scales Yecheng showed, they could roughly guess the enormity of the creature.
"Facing such a massive creature, ordinary people would probably be paralyzed with fear. The fact that you managed to injure it is already quite remarkable.
Since the severely injured Flame Dragon won’t attack our village again, this commission should be considered as successfully completed.
As for the Adventurer’s Guild, we will immediately send someone to Marg Town to inform them."
The villagers didn’t care whether the Flame Dragon was dead or alive; they were only concerned about whether their village would be attacked. Hearing Yecheng’s assurance that the Flame Dragon wouldn’t cause trouble for at least a hundred years, the villagers naturally promised to inform the Adventurer’s Guild on Yecheng’s behalf.
