Episode 152. The Last Dragon
We moved completely.
Because the rooftop was no longer a safe place.
Well… it wasn’t that I was worried about being attacked or anything, it was just that I was worried about it collapsing.
【That’s right! Eugene broke it!】
‘… … .’
Metheus stopped the bastards from collapsing it in advance, but the aftereffects of my “One Punch” made the building unstable.
It was an unavoidable sacrifice.
anyway.
I offered my “Dragon Lair” to Metheus, who was looking for a suitable place.
There was no better place to have a secret conversation.
“… Did you get the rare one too?”
“Yes, that’s what happened.”
“You seem to have more power than our species. The “breath” you used earlier is also like that.”
Metheus looked very surprised, as if he didn’t know how many powers I had.
‘You’d almost faint if you knew I had the “Tenauses System” and the “Dragon Body”.’
Well, I guess that doesn’t matter.
I summoned “Dragon Lair”.
Woohoo-
“Come on in.”
“Okay.”
Let’s enter that place that is no different from subspace.
“Huh? Master? What’s going on?”
“Keldwick. How’s your work going?”
“Of course! The workshop here is really the best! It satisfies my cravings without any limitations!”
Keldwick, who was working hard to create my legendary grade item, greeted us.
He, who somehow became my Guardian No. 4, was extremely satisfied with the Lv. 3 function of “Dragon Lair”, the ‘Dwarf Production Workshop’.
“How much progress has been made?”
“About 70% now? Hehehe. Look forward to it. I’ll give you a Legendary item soon!”
Thanks to this, I was able to hear the secrets surrounding the cataclysm, such as the dimensional refugees, and I was also able to receive legendary grade items periodically.
“Hmm? Oh, by the way, we have a guest. Who is this person?”
Keldwick belatedly looked at Metheus and expressed his curiosity.
“It’s a magic tower.”
“…Matapju?”
“Yes. And a dragon.”
“What, what!?”
Metheus stepped forward and spoke in front of the jumping Keldwick.
“I am in charge of the magic tower, even though I am lacking. You, by the looks of it, are you a dwarf?”
“Above, I see the great being.”
Then Keldwick immediately fell to the floor.
Metheus waved his hand.
“Don’t do that. The covenant between races was lost when the dimension collapsed. Besides, I’m currently a dragon, not a dragon race.”
“Well, still… .”
“You really don’t have to do that, since you’ve been indebted to your Master.”
“ah…!”
Keldwick suddenly looked at me with admiration in his eyes.
… that much?
“Ah. As expected, Master Eugene! You’re amazing. I was blackmailed into becoming a Guardian, but I’m very satisfied! Hahahaha!”
“… Anyway, Keldwick, take care of business. We need to talk.”
“Okay! If you need anything, just call me!”
So Keldwick disappeared towards the dwarven workshop.
So I was able to talk to Metheus again.
“Dragon Lair” was quite spacious, and since I had bought a sofa and put it in when I had some spare time, there was plenty of space for conversation.
Metheus spoke first.
“I have received more grace than I expected.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
There was no need to be humble here.
It’s reward time, so I need to be properly recognized for my efforts.
“It almost feels like fate that I brought the ‘Sign of the Dragon Tribe’.”
Certainly, there was a feeling that the chronology of events had been strangely reversed.
Thanks to bringing the ‘Sign of Grace of the Dragon Clan’, I was able to receive the ‘Power: Polymorph’ as a reward.
But it was after that that I truly began to show favor to Metheus.
So, somehow, it feels like I’ve been compensated for in the past by taking the future events as cause and effect.
but.
“Let’s be precise. Isn’t this a separate incident?”
I did this causality exactly.
“Polymorph” is a reward for the ‘Sign of Grace of the Dragon Clan’.
The reward for preventing this terrorist incident in advance is separate.
‘There, I was supposed to receive additional compensation in return for cooperating with some research.’
Anyway, there was a lot to receive.
“That’s true. Don’t worry, I’m not saying I won’t give you compensation.”
Of course, I didn’t think Metheus would eat me.
Still, it was better to make sure this issue was resolved.
“But there’s one thing I’m curious about.”
“What is it?”
“Can you tell me where and from whom I received this sign?”
Metheus first asked me about the source of the ‘Sign of the Dragon Tribe’.
‘Hmm.’
There was nothing I couldn’t tell you.
However, there was no need to tell it for free.
“I have a lot of questions, too. If you have any questions about those things… .”
“Ask me as much as you want. Aren’t you the savior of my life?”
“great.”
As much information as I have provided, you should give me information in return.
One could simply appeal to their favor, but it would probably be cleaner to take the form of a transaction.
“I got this from Metheus.”
“… to me?”
“Yes. However, it will be a little different from what is in front of me now.”
I explained to him what had happened in ‘Fragments of History’.
The events of carrying out a mission in another space and time, and meeting Tenauzes and Metheus there.
Of course, only the parts about ‘Metheus’.
‘You didn’t even ask, so there’s no need to tell me in detail.’
“Huh… I guess Metheus thought you didn’t know what this was.”
“Actually, I didn’t know at first. I only found out recently.”
It was only after obtaining the ‘Power of the Beginning’ and gaining access to the 6th level of the Akashic Records that I was able to view the information on this item.
“Now my doubts are somewhat resolved.”
Metheus nodded at my explanation.
“What is your question?”
“I thought it wasn’t a coincidence that you came to see me.”
“Well, I guess I came here intentionally.”
I was trying to get some information from Metheus.
For me, who uses the power of the dragon as my main skill, he, who is presumed to be a dragon, would definitely be of help.
However, Metheus shook his head.
“That’s not what I meant.”
“?”
“As I drifted through the dimensions, I lost several powers. Among them was the ‘power of prophecy.’”
therefore.
“… So the Metheus of the past had prophetic powers?”

“yes.”
“… .”
“In fact, if you hadn’t come here today, wouldn’t I have died and the dragon race would have been completely wiped out?”
That wasn’t a wrong statement.
Again, I remembered what Metheus said in ‘Fragments of History’.
‘This human is destined to become the savior of our dragon tribe in the future.’
What Metheus said there, persuading Tenauze there.
At the time, I thought it was just something to say… .
‘That’s what it meant? And you knew this in advance?’
I am once again speechless.
The power to know the future.
“What kind of power do you have?”
“What can I do with what I have? And now I don’t have anything either.”
“… .”
Well, there are some powers that are close to instant death.
I just accepted it.
‘It’s not like it’s been a day or two since the dragon’s power has been fraudulent.’
Trying to deny what actually happened will only give you a headache.
“Well, is there anything you want?”
So we decided to move on to the real compensation part.
Now that we’ve cleared up some of our curiosities, it’s time to get down to business.
I looked straight into his eyes and said.
“I want an alliance with the Magic Tower.”
“An alliance? That’s not difficult.”
Metheus was positive.
but.
After hearing the identity of my enemy, my attitude changed.
“… … Were you asking for help in fighting the Gaia Cult?”
“yes.”
“Are you crazy!?”
“I’m not crazy.”
“The Gaia Cult! Their power is much stronger than our Magic Tower. El Gaia was a being with the power to fight against our dragon race alone!”
El Gaia, known as the founder of the Gaia Cult on Earth.
He was presumed to be a dimensional refugee, and indeed, he was.
“So, it doesn’t work?”
He asked back calmly.
The important thing was that there was no one who could stop my revenge.
There was someone who would help me get revenge.
“Ha! Why the Gaia Church…?”
Metheus looked quite embarrassed.
“What’s the problem?”
“Yes.”
“which?”
“… … We have signed a non-aggression pact with El Gaia.”
The reason is that a non-aggression pact was signed with the Gaia Church.
“I don’t mind helping you. But if it means dealing with the Gaia Cult, it will be difficult for me as well.”
Unfortunately, Metheus was of the opinion that it would be difficult to be hostile to the Gaia Cult.
But I saw hope.
“Difficult doesn’t mean impossible, right?”
There is a difference between difficult and impossible.
Also, saying it’s impossible makes it a lot easier to refuse.
But instead of saying it’s impossible, why don’t you say it’s difficult?
“… … That’s true.”
It means it is possible!
And, if that’s even possible.
“The ‘Sign of the Dragon Tribe’. I still have it.”
“… … .”
I still had the authority to ask him for something.
“Mr. Eugene. Don’t you think you’ve already been compensated enough?”
“If that was the case, Metheus would have tried to retrieve the sign.”
“… .”
“So, you haven’t asked for a sign yet?”
“… … Really, I can’t handle it.”
Metheus groaned.
“Please, please take a look. This means that I will have to endure a tremendous amount of bleeding.”
“sorry.”
“No, what kind of grudge is so strong that you want to take revenge on the greatest religion on Earth?”
“My mother was killed by those guys.”
“… … .”
Do you think there are many people who want to seek revenge for the death of their family members because of the Gaia Church?
Honestly, I don’t think there will be much.
no.
‘There probably won’t be any.’
Most would probably give up because of practical reasons.
But that didn’t mean my revenge wasn’t justified.
rather.
‘You can’t ask me here if that’s all you’re trying to get revenge on.’
This is more justified than any other reason.
If I were to avenge my parents, who would stop me from doing so?
“… I asked for nothing.”
Metheus lamented.
It seemed like he was thinking of persuading me for no reason.
“Come to think of it, weren’t many dragons killed by Gaia?”
“… That’s right. Our entire race fought against the goddess Gaia.”
“Then why doesn’t Metheus take revenge on Gaia?”
I asked him the question in return.
Why don’t you take revenge?
“It was a realistic problem. While crossing dimensions, I lost a lot of my power, while El Gaia retained most of its power.”
The answer, from my perspective, was truly disappointing.
“You’re scared.”
Are you saying that you were scared because you thought you wouldn’t win?
A being as big as a dragon.
“… … Even if you say that, there is a sense of responsibility that comes with being the last survivor of your species.”
But he also had a good reason.
Preservation of the species.
This too, like my reasons, was difficult to deny easily.
however.
“Then why don’t you refuse?”
The ‘Sign of the Dragon Tribe’ has this explanation:
– The dragon race cannot refuse a request unless it is harmful to themselves or their race.
This means that you can refuse a request if it is detrimental to your species.
Do me a favor, if you ally with me and fight against Gaia.
If that really were to threaten the existence of the Dragon Clan.
I bet you can easily refuse?
“well.”
To this, Metheus answered.
“If my thoughts are correct, I will no longer be the only dragon in this world.”
