Chapter 51

"It's okay, Nia."

The girl was coughing, and a hand was passed to her side.

With Guta's support, Nia stood up tremblingly.

"Fortunately, that attacker missed my vitals."

Nia touched her abdomen with some fear.

There used to be a hard protective goggle there, but it's all broken now.

"Maybe it's not luck..." Guta glanced at Nia's leather armor. He vaguely remembered that, except for the breastplate, Nia's chest and abdomen had almost no extra defenses.

After all, her job is long-distance support, so there is no need to add too much defense to her clothes, it will only slow down her movement speed.

"That guy, maybe he didn't want to kill you, so he deliberately attacked the hardest place." Guta said with a complicated expression.

In the previous fights, he had already fully understood how strong that black-haired girl was and how sharp her fighting instinct was.

To put it bluntly, before he really completed his self-awareness, facing the girl's offensive, he couldn't even complete a decent counterattack, and was pressed to the ground and beaten the whole time.

With such a powerful opponent, he didn't think that the opponent would miss, so it could only be intentional.

That guy, from the beginning to the end, the only target he killed was himself.

"By the way, Guta, are you okay..." Nia slightly relieved the pain in her lower abdomen, and looked up at Guta who was also in a mess.

Before the real battle started, she was knocked unconscious, and she didn't see the scene where Guta was almost killed afterwards, so she didn't have much other emotions at the moment.

"I'm fine, it's better to say that thanks to her, I've become stronger." Guta fooled the past with a haha.

He didn't want Nia to worry too much, there were some things that he alone was enough to bear.

"Wait, Guta, on your head..."

Suddenly, as if she had discovered some new continent, Nia pointed at Guta's head with a look of surprise.

"Ok?"

Guta reached out to touch it in confusion, and then felt two somewhat hard horns.

"Damn! What is this shit!"

……

"Tut~tsk"

In the top-floor office of the Hunter's Guild, Cassius, the head of the Paley branch, was looking around at the young man on the chair, his mouth bursting with amazement.

It's only been one day since the Kailong mission, but everyone tacitly didn't mention it again, as if that incident never happened.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it...you actually have dragon blood? And you awakened the day after tomorrow?"

Weiwei, who came to join in the fun, wanted to touch the sharp horns on Guta's head, but was slapped away angrily by the latter.

"Stingy ghost~" Weiwei said with a bulging face.

"I know dragon people, what is acquired awakening?"

Guta frowned a little, and unconsciously touched a pair of "foreign objects" above his head.

The dragon people are a race very similar to humans, with a long lifespan, and it seems that they had a highly developed civilization and technology in ancient times, but they didn't know why they declined later.Of course, there is another way of saying that the dragon people are actually humans in ancient times.

All in all, according to the situation described in the legend, the blood of the dragon flows in the body of the dragon man, who can use the unique power of the dragon species corresponding to the blood, and to a certain extent, it is actually a smaller version of the dragon.

"Awakening the day after tomorrow, actually refers to the situation like you, who didn't see any characteristics of dragon people at first, but suddenly awakened the bloodline on a certain day."

Cassius said with some enthusiasm, pulled a chair from the side and sat down slowly, "To be honest, I have seen many dragon people, but this is the first time I have seen you who are awakened the day after tomorrow."

"That assassin also has a pair of horns, and is also a dragon?" Guta asked suddenly as if he remembered something.

Cassius was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully, "The other party should also be a dragonman, and he should be a dragonman who was awakened innately, that's why he didn't hit you."

"Huh? No, shouldn't the innate ones be stronger than the acquired ones like me?" Guta was a little confused.

As an acquired dragon man, why should Cassius defeat the innate dragon man as a matter of course?
"Ah~ Who told you that innate is better than acquired?" Cassius rubbed his head and explained: "Innate dragon people just awakened the dragon power early in their bodies, but acquired ones like yours are different. When the matching degree of potential dragon power reaches more than 90%, your external characteristics will manifest, that is, your pair of horns."

"There is no difference between you in terms of strength, but due to the higher degree of fit, the power of dragon power and the fighting instinct in your body will be stronger, so generally speaking, it is impossible for an acquired dragon to fight You acquired dragon people."

Guta nodded half-understanding.

The day after tomorrow is better than the day after tomorrow, this is the first time he has heard this saying, so he can't help but feel a little novel at the moment.

Then, he suddenly became interested in a certain word in Cassius' words.

"Wait, you just said Longli?"

Guta opened his palm, and a layer of black air began to appear.

"I don't have dragon power, isn't this still my original gluttony?"

For a moment, he felt as if he had lost a hundred million.

Cassius scratched his chin, then shrugged his shoulders, "Then I don't know, normally the awakened dragonman should have special power, anyway, it's absolutely impossible that it's just the original "Qi"

"However, your pair of horns is indeed a bit short, maybe it will produce dragon power when it grows a little longer."

Cassius conjectured, expressly disclaiming any guarantees for this conclusion.

What an unreliable guy!
Guta complained in his heart.

"However, according to what you said, the assassin you faced had both horns broken, right?"

Guta nodded.

"The horn is the source and symbol of the dragonman's power. Once it is broken, it will no longer be able to effectively use the dragon power in the body." Cassius said with a strange face, pointing to the horn of the ancient tower: "If your dragon The reason why the strength has not yet appeared is because the horns have not fully grown yet, so she is of the kind that can't be used at all, it's really strange..."

"Will someone intentionally abolish their own power? How stupid would they do that~"

Guta lowered his head, recalling the scene of the fight with the black-haired girl before.

From the beginning to the end, she didn't say a word, there was nothing on her face, and there was no superfluous expression on her face, as if she was just a puppet.

He was also wearing anklets and handcuffs.

Puppet... shackles?
"Maybe it's for the convenience of controlling her. After all, if the strength increases, the instigator behind that guy may not have the confidence to continue to use her." Guta expressed his guess, feeling a little emotional.

"That girl's combat intuition and strength are quite amazing. Ordinary hunters are almost powerless when they are approached by her, and they can also manifest their own aura. If her dragon power can still be used, I'm afraid Everyone behind the scenes must worry about being wiped by the other party's neck suddenly one day."

"Perhaps." Cassius somewhat agreed with this statement, and then realized a word in the other party's words, his eyes almost popped out, "Wait, you just said... the appearance of aura? That girl?"

"What's the matter, I will do it too? Don't you?" Guta gave him a strange look.

"Convex(艹盘艺)" Cassius cursed a few words in a low voice.

Of course he will!

But it took him five years to gradually master it. As a result, these guys suddenly knew it one by one for no reason, making it look like Chinese cabbage on the side of the road.

This world is so fucking unfair!

Hey!
