513 - - Art. 513. Shall We Stop There?
"What's up? What are you doing?"
Behind me, the Dragon King is opening his mouth. I can't see him, but I can tell what he is thinking by the inflection in his voice. Why does he hesitate when his prey is right in front of him? ...... He's surprisingly gutless. I guess he thinks so.
Lois in front of me is still shedding tears from her beautiful purple eyes. Even her squeals were becoming cute. As if in response, her big body is slowly moving up and down.
......No, we have to rescue Rico and Soleil first.
I tell myself, shaking my head. They must be in this dragon's belly for sure. That means I'll have to cut off Royce's head first, and then go to .......
"What are you doing?
The Dragon King steps forward in front of me in a burst of frustration. I see his right hand glowing silver.
"Hey, what are you doing?
"I'm trying to save your wives."
What?
"Do you know what a dragon looks like?"
A dragon's body? What do you mean?"
You don't know what you're talking about. I'm asking if you've ever looked inside a dragon's body!
How could there be?
"I knew it. ......"
The Dragon King is making a disgusted noise. He keeps his back to me, but I can at least see the expression on his face. I am sure he is smiling like a fool.
Perhaps sensing my feelings, the Dragon King glanced at me. As I thought, he was smiling.
"Depending on the species, a dragon with the body of an auntsalidar has eight stomachs. Each has a powerful gastric juice that would be too much for you mortals to handle if you were to cut them open.
"No, I have wards, so that's not a problem.
"That's right. ...... No, but listen!
The Dragon King turned his attention to Royce again and began to speak fluently, as if reciting a poem.
"We, the Dragon People, are divided into four main types. The Aunsaridars like Royce, the Kulurukans, the Birumplans, and the Efeshais. Among them, the Aunsaridars have the most complex internal organs. On the other hand, Efes High has the simplest structure, and Kulrukan has almost the same structure as you humans. Therefore, Kulurkan is the best at humanization. Birumplan is more likely to live in the sea, so many of them have the same structure as fish. I do not belong to any of them, by the way. Or perhaps it would be more correct to say that I have the structure of all species. It is not a normal thing, but my father, who is of the blood of Kulkar Khan and Aung Salidah, and my mother, who is of the blood of Efes High and Birumplan ......, have given birth to the rare species that is me. Therefore, there will never be another like me.
When he said that, the Dragon King burst out laughing loudly. Then he turned back to me again and opened his mouth with a smug look on his face.
"That's what I meant."
"What? What?"
"You don't know what you're talking about!"
The Dragon King's body turns red. He seems angry. No, I don't want him to lose his temper.
The Dragon King, without paying any attention to my confusion, turns his attention back to Lois again, and opens his mouth again, crossing his arms.
"I'm going to say it again, so listen carefully. There are four main types of dragonkind. There are the Aunsaridars like Royce, the Kulurukans, the Birumplans, and the Efeshais. Among them, the Aunsaridars have the most complex internal organs. On the other hand, Efes High has the simplest structure, and Kulrukan has almost the same structure as you humans. Therefore, Kulurkan is the best at humanization. Birumplan is more likely to live in the sea, so many of them have the same structure as fish. I do not belong to any of them, by the way. Or perhaps it would be more correct to say that I have the structure of all species. It is not a normal thing, but my father, who is of the blood of Kulkar Khan and Aung Salidah, and my mother, who is of the blood of Efes High and Birumplan ......, have given birth to the rare species that is me. Therefore, there will never be another like me. Hahaha!"
The Dragon King looks at me again.
"Do you understand?"
"Oh, oh ...... well, you know, what. Okay. Yeah, I got the gist."
The Dragon King nodded his head in satisfaction at my response.
"Tell Aelyria what you have just told her. I'm sure she will be pleased."
The Dragon King looks pleased with himself. He swallows hard the word ...... to refuse. There is no way I can tell Aelyria about the Dragon King's words. No, come to think of it, I don't remember what the Dragon King said earlier at all. It is impossible to tell Alyria.
The Dragon King is still smiling and looking at Lois. The light in his right hand is still there. He walks over to Lois and slowly gets down on one knee. At the same time, I see fear in his eyes.
"Squeal, squeal, squeal!"
He was shaking his body in small tremors, desperately trying to keep his voice down. The Dragon King, seeing him like this, snickered and showed his contempt.
"Begging for your life now? Royce, have you no pride as a dragon? Or is even that a ruse? Hmph. If you were a human race, such childish tricks would not work on me.
"giggly giggly giggly ~~~~"
Suddenly, I heard a voice I had never heard before. I look over and see Lois's eyes wide open. She looks like she is desperately trying to hold something back. I look closer, and lo and behold, the Dragon King's right hand is stuck in Royce's stomach.
"Hmm? I think it was somewhere around here ...... wrong. Yeah!"
"Gyo gya gya gya gya ~~~~!!!"
Royce's exclamation echoes again. To his surprise, the Dragon King's right hand had sliced open Royce's stomach. The bright red intestines were visible, and frankly, it was grotesque. But the Dragon King nodded his head and looked at it.
"Here is the stomach. There is another stomach behind this one. Your wives are probably there. By the way, here is the heart.
The Dragon King moves his hand as he says this. Each time he does so, Lois's body moves as if it were bouncing. The Dragon King holds her body tightly with his left hand.
There is a gruesome sound. Lois's body is trembling. The screams that had echoed in her ears earlier are no longer audible. She seems unable to speak. He seems to be unable to breathe.
"Hmm? No. Are your wives really still alive?"
The Dragon King is irritably fumbling around in Royce's stomach. I activate my magic and presence detection. I get a warding response from ....... And both Rico and Soleil are alive inside the warding.
"They are alive. Are they not in your stomach? If so, you can go to ......."
"No, there's only one stomach left."
"...... must be there then."
The Dragon King looks on in dismay. Dragon's gastric juice is so strong that it had to be pinpointed, didn't it? In the end, Royce's stomach was vivisected by the Dragon King, and his body was dismembered. Lois is still ...... alive, but she is dying.
The Dragon King sighs and puts his hand inside Lois' belly. The Dragon King stops moving. ......
"What's wrong?"
"......"
"Don't tell me you don't have ...... anything?"
"Nuwah!"
Suddenly, the Dragon King let out a shout. I froze, my eyes widening at the unexpected action. .......
