“Yes… You must be tired, so go up.”
Elaine grabbed both sides of her skirt and bowed slightly.
Then, just as she was about to turn around, the cupcake in Ellie’s hand suddenly flew into Martin’s face.
“argh!”
“Aww! Brother!”
The cupcake, which was covered in thick buttercream on Martin’s face, fell to the floor as if it had done its job.
L’Arch got angry at that absurd scene.
“What are you doing!”
“I-I don’t know! I took the cake to eat, but my hand slipped and…But I didn’t mean to throw it at Martin!”
Always with Martin and Damon, it must be true that she had no intention of throwing at Martin.
because it looked like Martin was trying to hit Elaine with the cake, but got hit back.
Elaine said, ‘Could it be?’ she glanced at Rabes with a smile on her face, but Rabes quickly shook his head and appealed for his innocence.
There was nothing more to argue about on the spot, so Elaine left the place with a greeting that no one would hear.
“then…I will go.”
The kids who were crazy about cleaning Martin didn’t care if Elaine left the room or not. Only L’Arch sent a glance.
“Isn’t that thing really done by Lord Rabes?”
[No! Why? Are you sad? Do you want me to break his leg now?]
“Oh, no! You can’t do that.”
[Yeah, I’m holding back because of your angel disease.]
“Not killing or injuring people is not called angel disease.”
Rabes didn’t even listen to Elaine’s objections and complained as if he didn’t like everything from beginning to end.
[I’ve been thinking that human children are good, but I need to change that thought.]
“I told you so. Some people have been bad since childhood.”
[Yeah. And you constantly reject my suggestions to get rid of the bad guys]
Elaine sighed lightly.
“With your powers, it shouldn’t be too hard to kill the people who are bothering me, I know, but…”
Elaine reached the empty hallway and turned her head to look at Rabes on her shoulder.
Rabes looked like he was dying of curiosity.
“Then what is left for me?”
[huh? well, feeling refreshed?]
“Is it really so? I’ll end up with no revenge, no compensation, no apology, and they’ll die not knowing what they did wrong, or even thinking it was wrong.”
At those words, Rabes remembered Lancer.
Lancers asked to kill all the villagers without hesitation. Lancers, who simply killed and got rid of the human people who were annoying to her. Even then, Lancers cried without even making a sound.
[Then, what exactly is the revenge you want?]
“I don’t know yet. But I can think about it later.”
Rabes felt a little complicated when he saw Elaine smiling as if she had already forgotten the unpleasant incident.
But he didn’t regret his actions.
‘This girl is just a little lacking, so he doesn’t know well. Why does she say she hates revenge?’
Rabes didn’t like Martin, who tried to hit Elaine with a cake and failed, Lorina who was careless, and L’Arch who admonished Elaine with absurd words.
But the one he didn’t like the most was Elaine turning around without doing anything.
That was something that Rabes, who had the reputation of ‘the incarnation of ferocious revenge’ and ‘evil dragon’, could not tolerate, so at least he had to throw a cupcake in Ellie’s hand into Martin’s face.
‘I wish the kid had held a bigger cake. No, it would have been better if he had been holding a knife or fork.’
‘I finished at the cupcake, but I shook my head involuntarily at Elaine’s gaze, which seemed to ask if it was you.’
‘I didn’t know why.’
‘If Elaine frowned at me, I would feel pretty bad.’
Rabes, who had endured 500 years for revenge, could not agree with Elaine’s behavior of going over without taking even light revenge for what they had done.
Rabes, who was worried, soon smiled and nodded.
‘If I don’t get caught by this girl for revenge instead, it’s enough, right? I’ll feel better, and she’ll feel better, so yeah!’
It was a dragon’s arbitrary conclusion.

‘It’s the dream of that day again.’
Looking around the familiar cave, Malek let out a low sigh.
This was not the first time this year that he had dreamed about it.
In the middle of Calgore Cave, which is the largest in the Calais Empire, Lancers Aquinal, who is called the Great Wizard, was summoning his dragon.
“Rekuro Rabes!”
It was a spell that could summon the black dragon Rabes and at the same time borrow his power.
Because it was a spell that only worked properly when he had Rabes’s magic core inside his body, it was the only magic that only Lancer could use in this world.
He hated Lancer for summoning the dragon whenever he wanted, and Rabes for allowing him to do so.
But in the end, Lancers were a huge fortune for Malek.
‘Because he was able to seal Rabes, and in return, Malek was able to obtain several Dragon Magic Stones.’
The dream he was having now was the moment when Lancer sealed Rabes.
“Aquiesco Roevis Del…!”
The moment the spell to seal the dragon came out of Lancer’s mouth, Rabes’s expression was quite worth seeing.
He couldn’t hide his expression because he was transformed into a human. At first, he didn’t seem to understand what the situation was, and after the sealing magic began to trap his soul and magic core, he was surprised as if he couldn’t believe it, but soon began to be stained with a sense of betrayal.
And right before the sealing magic was completed, Rabes fired a certain curse at Lancer through a small gap.
Malek was watching them from afar, hiding his body, so he didn’t know exactly what kind of curse it was, but Lancer, who was struck by it, disappeared on the spot the moment Rabes’s seal was completed.
‘What kind of curse was that?’
Because of that curse, he missed the magic core of Rabes put in Lancer’s body.
Inside the cave, which became empty after a tremendous amount of magic collided and disappeared, Malek looked at the place where Rabes and Lancers were for a long time before waking up.
After waking up, he had another question.
‘Why do I keep having this dream?’
Perhaps because he swallowed a dragon’s stone, Malek used to have a hunch-like dream ahead of a big event.
Even so, it was not a perfect ability, so the dream didn’t tell the exact future. However, as he lived for a long time, his ability to interpret dreams only improved.
However, this dream couldn’t be interpreted at all. It wasn’t pointing at anything, it was just showing the past repeatedly.
‘Somehow I don’t feel good.’
Watching the same scene over and over again made him more and more anxious.
At that time, he doubted whether the ‘Operation to Seal Laves’, which he thought was perfect, was really perfect, and he was concerned about what the curse Rabes had thrown and what exactly happened to the missing Lancers.
All in all, this year has just been the year since Laves was sealed.
It was ominous to the point that this year was 500 years since Rabes was sealed.
‘I started to feel a strange sense of Deja Vu some time ago.….’
Malek has lived for a little over 3,000 years, but it’s the first time he has felt a sense of Deja Vu as often as recently.
Seeing waves of tremendous magic power remaining in the air, it seems that the strongest magic power among dragons performed a gigantic magic that turned the whole world upside down, but he had no idea what kind of magic it was.
‘Is that why I’m dreaming of Rabes?’
Of all the dragons Malek had ever encountered, Rabes was the only one that was so ruthless in using magic. It was the result of a combination of strong magic power, a natural sense of magic, and a personality that seemed to care about other things.
In particular, that bad personality was to the extent that Malek, who is called the devil by humans, entered the fold. Perhaps because he was not educated by his race, he did not know about coexistence or compromise with other creatures, and if it bothered him, he tried to solve the problem by eliminating it.
‘It was funny how he was quite generous and pleasant to his contractor on such a subject.’
Without Lancers, Rabes would have truly become a disaster in the world, perhaps it was God’s arrangement.
‘It’s a useless thought. There is no way that even Rabes could have escaped from that sealing magic. It seems I’ve become sensitive lately.’
Malek let out an annoyed sigh and rose from his seat.
It had already been nearly 800 years since he was expelled from the dragon community and came down to the human world to search for the magic core, that is, the stone called the Dragon Demon Stone by humans.
Sasha didn’t seem to understand what that meant, but the reason he was looking for dragon magic stones was to really get stronger.
‘As long as I have the dragon’s stone and the ether, it’s not impossible for me to take over this world.’
