The Spirit World

Chapter 195 The Power of Dragon Bones

I watched her transform into everything in this world, her bones turning into mountains, her blood turning into rivers, and her thin wings turning into white snow on the mountaintops.

I think she is sleeping...in this foreign land...with resentment...

The...small...failed...humanity in her heart...cracked her skull again and again.

I ran away holding that...her last keel.

Haha... No one in the entire Wenti County is willing to let her go.

Except for the mage who defeated her.

He was so tall, and his cotton-edged monk's robes looked majestic. But his eyes were indeed blind, and under the gauze hat, no one would really notice his mottled eyes.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe it. No, no one would believe that it was such an elegant man sitting on a stool to rest who pierced the dragon's heart with his scepter.

"I didn't expect such a big change..." he sighed: "After the dragon died, it really turned into mountains..."

"A giant dragon would actually help a monster... I really can't understand it." An old man beside him sighed: "The corpse of this giant dragon has actually changed the entire Wenti County..."

They didn't sound like they were discussing the same thing.

"I've heard that dragons are the embodiment of elements. Now that I see them today, I know it's true." Another old man echoed.

"Since things have come to this, I will leave. The dragon is dead, and I can't stay any longer." The mage stood up. I stood far away from him, and I felt that he could still sense my presence.

"I wonder where the wizard came from... and where he is going?" The old man should be the village chief of Wenti County, otherwise how could he sit so close to the wizard.

"I am a wandering monk. I don't care where I come from or where I'm going. I regard the world as my home." The mage remembered something and reminded: "Those killed by the dragon need to be saved. I have little affinity with Buddhism and cannot help them. You should pay more attention to me, old man..."

He nodded and bowed, then left under everyone's eager eyes. His strength had earned people's respect, but even so, he did not stay for long.

It was this seemingly nameless person who killed the giant dragon named Elaine. Although she was still recovering from her injuries, it seemed that he still had strength left. It was not unreasonable that it was a one-sided crushing rather than a mutual loss.

The hat was slightly tilted, so he reached out his hand from his robes to straighten it. Now, although there was no wind, wind came from his body, sweeping away all the dust. The golden scepter jingled, and it was so majestic and intimidating.

I also ran away. The heart-protecting keel had indeed sunk, and I had to get to Grandma Chun as soon as possible.

The land in all directions has completely changed. The mountains are blocking the original road and flowers are blooming everywhere. I never thought that the brilliant scenery of a riot of colors would make me feel unattractive from the bottom of my heart, no matter whether it is made of flesh and blood or not.

I ran so eagerly that I almost tripped over the rising mountains several times.

I am like this,

So,
So weak.

Not even as good as autumn.

As a real little monster, all I want is to live peacefully.

I will not hurt humans, and I will never ask for anything from them. I just hope humans don't disturb my life.

Looking at the flowers rising up, doesn’t it look like a funeral held by heaven and earth for Elaine?
I know why Elaine died.

She was killed by Qiu.

She loved Autumn deeply, but she didn't know it.

Qiu, the forgotten guardian, would be killed as a monster no matter how kind he was to humans. The humans he loved deeply were afraid of all monsters, no matter if they had hurt them or not.

This is a common problem among all human beings. They are so stupid.

Elaine is fighting for Qiu!
I think she never understood until her death why Qiu trusted humans so much. Was it just because of the human woman he loved so much?
Does love really make people so stupid?

"Granny Chun... brought it back!" I panted and came to Granny Chun's side.

Unfortunately, she was also a guardian angel. Not many people remember Granny Tsubaki anymore... This former guardian angel can only stand upright under the dome now. Although her consciousness is still there, she can no longer move.

Perhaps, after a few more years, she will no longer be able to accompany me. This is not such a sad thing, everything has its parting.

"Where is Qiu? Will he come back?" Grandma Chun's voice came directly into my mind.

Grandma Chun was worried about Qiu and he ran away with that human woman. I saw with my own eyes that human woman dragged him away, as if she was escaping from this world without hesitation.

"I will definitely come back..." I put down the dragon bone and reattached my dislocated hand. I was not used to this body yet, and I seemed to have twisted my hand the wrong way: "Qiu should have gone to seek refuge... with that human woman."

"Is that so..." Granny Chun said with a sigh: "This dragon bone must not fall into the hands of humans. We must take good care of it."

"That wizard is going into the mountains now. I guess he is here to find the dragon bones! We are definitely not his match. After all, even someone as powerful as Elaine can't defeat him." I sat down to rest and adjusted the arm that was twisted.

"If that's the case, we definitely won't be a safe place here." Granny Chun was a little worried: "Where is that magician now?"

"In the southeast corner, just after entering the mountain, Elaine caused the entire Wenti Village to undergo earth-shaking changes. The original mountain peaks have long been covered, and large numbers of demonic beasts and fierce beasts are fleeing." I looked at the dragon bone.

"Soon, this place will become a brand new place." Grandma Chun sighed.

I couldn't answer the call.

Just listen.

I can feel it.

The sadness of Granny Chun.

"This dragon bone must be dealt with quickly. Let it rest here forever. Find a good place to bury it. It is definitely not a good thing to keep it around." Granny Chun reminded more urgently: "No matter who you are, you should not let this dragon bone see the light of day again."

"Yeah...I understand!" I nodded.

I don't know why there is a hint of fear in Grandma Chun's words. However, I have no interest in these things. No matter who comes to grab them, I will give them away.

Of course, I watched from a distance, instead of actually giving it to him in person. I have never coveted the power of the dragon bone, but even so, the amazing changes that the dragon bone brought to me are still so huge.

I just held it and I could feel my spiritual power improving.

The hot summer is no longer hot, and the cold winter is no longer cold. Perhaps this is the most direct feeling of the people in Wenti Village after the fall of the Ice Dragon, but... for me, the spiritual power in my body is surging with an unimaginable, primitive desire for killing.

what……

If, he hadn't come at the end.

That mage.

I am sure that my little demon life will be ended by these relics of Elaine.

When I was moving the dragon bones, I met the wizard. He said that the magnificent demonic power made him want to get rid of me first.

I was so scared that I had no way to resist, even though I felt that I was several times stronger than before because of the contact with the dragon bone. But I knew that I could not be the opponent of the mage, so, between running away and not running away, I could only collapse on the ground with weak legs.

I even thought about asking for mercy, but there was no way, the wizard told me not to move, so I had to listen to him slowly.

"This dragon bone must be buried forever." The wizard spoke under the bamboo hat.

Suddenly, I could understand what he meant.

Because my whole body has started to change. I don't want it to.

I am willing to be a little monster, not this kind of...horrible thing.
