Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats

114 Earth Dragon - Part 5: Betrayal

'stab'

The man stabbed the dragon in it's head.

'Roarrrr'

Dragon's scales usually protect their body. It usually acts as their body armor which can even withstand tier 5 magic if necessary!

So it was quite shocking to see that just a small sword was able to pierce through the Earth Dragon's scales, skin and reach the heart when the earth dragons were thought to have exceptional defense!

"You-", the dragon was at a loss in words.

He was extremely shocked by what just happened.

'Did I really get stabbed?', was the first question that rose in its mind.

"Hahahaha!"

Blood started flowing along with the sword and oozed out. The drops started to fall on the ground.

"Yes…"

"This is what I wanted!"

The earth dragon failed to understand the human completely because the person whom he considered his friend turned out to be someone with a shitty personality!

"I want your blood…"

"Friend…"

The way he laughed was more than enough evidence to prove that he was no friend of the dragon.

'I trusted you…'

Until now, the only ones that ever approached him were some tiny beasts or monsters with no or almost nil intelligence.

After meeting a human, although he was wary and kept his guard up all the time, he slowly began to think of him as his friend.

Exactly after a year, he was betrayed and this was the moment when the door of his heart was closed.

Well, there was a sword piercing his heart and it was left in the same way.

The person vanished after taking a few drops of blood from the dragon in some bottle and never returned again.

While the dragon expected someone to come this way to release him from his pain, no one came. This was probably because the human warned them that there was some crazy dragon in the plains.

No one would ignore the words of the best mage of the century – Lian!

His name was Lian and yes, the plains and the grassland were named after him.

He never returned anyway and the dragon never died either. One of the special capacities of the earth-type dragons were that they had strong regeneration powers.

Solely because of that, his heart kept regenerating and so did the wound only to be cut again by the sharp sword which was still stuck near his chest.

Shackled by the curse, he couldn't move his hands or legs. He didn't have wings either so all he could do was move his neck to find some food and stuff.

A dragon could easily live more than 500 years without any food – a mature dragon that is.

But that didn't mean that they wouldn't be hungry!

Many a time different dragons flew by but even after noticing him, they wouldn't help.

Of course, if the dragon was of earth attribute, then there was a possibility that they would help, but the ones that flew by never even tried to help him.

Instead, they would attack once or twice causing him much more pain.

Why?

Well, although the dragons were extremely intelligent, they were competitive at the same time.

With the exception of a few dragons, there were many who were greedy and wanted to rise in rank because it was believed, the strongest dragon would be able to become a celestial.

Of course, becoming a true God was a different story because there already existed a dragon who was considered as a God – The Dragon God.

IN any case, the Earth Dragon was completely isolated by the world. The Grigard or whatever lizard tried to rule over the place was chased out by him.

Those who ran away to the forest faced stronger beasts and only got weak and that was probably how a weakened ruler met Shin earlier – only a possibility!

'I wonder why I was born in this world…'

'To suffer pain?', the dragon referred to the pain of the wound that was constantly getting created.

No matter how much time passed, he never got used to that pain.

Though, he found a method that could reduce that pain – by giving himself a different pain!

Yes, the reason why he used a tornado and tried to stop respiring or breathing by going inside the muddy water was just because he wanted to give his body a different pain and force it to forget the pain that was present in the heart.

A pretty wacky method he learned but oh well, no one ever came to help him anyway so all he could do was use such twisted methods.

( Back to present )

Now, although Shin was in front of him, he couldn't help but doubt him. He didn't want to get betrayed again and that was why he swore that he wouldn't anyone.

But for some reason, his painfully beating heart was telling him to trust Shin. It was quite hard but he ended up listening to his heart.

'This little punk won't be able to kill me anyway so I have nothing to fear even if he betrays…', he thought.

But was that really the truth?

Couldn't Shin inflict any damage on the dragon?

Whatever, at the moment, Shin thought about helping the dragon and the dragon also thought about accepting his offer.

The moment was kind of nostalgic because both of them weren't ready to trust each other.

Shin feared that if the dragon was to be cured, then he might end up killing Shin. Although Shin could run and save his life, he wasn't confident at the moment about that.

Even if he had the title, he still thought about a plan B in case something were to go wrong.

The dragon as well did the same thing.

'What if this pup is a schemer and is trying to curse me or take my blood?', he asked himself.

That was why the dragon was also ready with a plan of his own – he would destroy the entire area surrounding him even if he couldn't directly attack Shin.

Well, at this point who could have imagined that the two beings that were being suspicious of each other at the moment would end up becoming the biggest threat to humanity someday?
