We traveled through time together, but I'm the only dragon? The others are all beautiful girls?

Volume 1 Snowfield Dragon Lord: Chapter 84. The Wanderer - Lan Si (Part 1)

He instinctively wanted to go forward to check, but when he saw his own appearance as an evil and ferocious dragon, he immediately stopped in his tracks.

In this state, any sudden approach would only frighten rather than comfort a girl she is meeting for the first time—or anyone at all.

He couldn't control his instincts to transform into human form for the time being. In the dark space, he found that his control over his body had decreased many times over, and he was completely unable to control it at will.

Then, Ying's figure rapidly shrank, returning to her petite form, somewhere between a young girl and a loli. Next, she retrieved a crystal-clear alchemical vessel from her personal space, bound to her soul, and carefully guided the energy surging within her—a gift from Akalion—that had been absorbing an excessive amount of [True Dragon Power]. This power had strengthened her body, but now the excess needed to be properly channeled out.

Although the abundant energy within her body brought a peculiar feeling of fullness, letting it dissipate would be a waste. Remembering that the portion taken by the Secret Light Tower had not yet been returned, she cherished it even more.

After confirming that there was no more excess energy leaking out, she quickly went to the black-haired girl's side and gently embraced the slender body that was trembling slightly from the intense pain. Then, she raised her fair and soft palm and began to gently massage the girl's temples.

But the black-haired girl's pain did not seem to be alleviated in any way.

Seeing this, Akalion had no choice but to raise his still-erect dragon spear and come to her side.

He disregarded everything else, and successively cast the third-level psionic spells Clarify Mind, Life Torrent, and even Pathogen Expulsion and Primal Vigor on the black-haired girl. These were the highest-level psionic healing spells he currently possessed.

But it still couldn't alleviate her pain in the slightest.

This caused a sense of unease to rise in both Akalion and Luminosity.

Just then, the lighthouse in the far reaches of endless darkness suddenly lit up with a beam of crimson light. That light seemed both to be the life-giving light that nurtures all things and the source of demonic power that tempts all beings to fall.

The light shone on the black-haired girl, and in just a few seconds, the excruciating pain that seemed to originate from her very soul vanished. She slowly recovered and expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the two people before her.

"Thank you—thank you all."

However, the moment her gaze met the still somewhat sticky gun barrel, she quickly shifted her eyes to Ying, like a startled fawn in the forest.

Although she was also completely naked, at least Ying's body was cleaner—except for the snow-white skin on her chest and the remaining dirt on the pomegranate.

"No need to thank me! We're all 'Lan Si,' so naturally we should help each other out!"

Ying's face revealed a warm smile that could melt ice and snow and bring spring. Her golden eyes, which were looking at the black-haired girl, sparkled with curiosity.

"And you? Who did you transmigrate into?"

"I......"

The black-haired girl began to try to recall those noisy, jumbled fragments of memory. They were too complex and too fragmented, so much so that she felt her brain begin to heat up slightly again.

"We're all 'Blue Heirs,' there's nothing to hide. He's the 'Blue Heir' of Akalion Vilminax Pantokrator, the true dragon from a D&D-like world, while I'm the 'Blue Heir' of the traveler 'Lumin' from the Genshin Impact world!"

Ying thought that she was hesitating because of this hesitation, so she quickly spoke up to try to dispel the black-haired girl's concerns.

"...I...I don't remember. Right now, I only remember vaguely seeing a figure when I woke up. Then, there was an upside-down sea in the sky, and I fell directly from the sea to the ground."

Faced with Ying's well-intentioned honesty, the black-haired girl could only shake her head with a wry smile.

"When I woke up again, I was rescued by two girls from Huanglong and Jinzhou. The rest were just vague fragments, like trying to catch the moon's reflection in water, impossible to grasp accurately."

"Huanglong?"

"Jinzhou?"

Akalion and Luminous exchanged a glance simultaneously. In that instant, they were certain of the true identity of this new 'Blue Heir'.

“Then you must have transmigrated into the ‘Wanderer’ character in the game ‘Mingchao’,” Ying and Akalion said simultaneously, stating their conclusion.

Although the black-haired girl in front of her wasn't wearing the iconic, somewhat shabby female wanderer's outfit, her neat long black ponytail, her golden eyes, the perfectly placed crimson eyeliner at the corner of her eyes, and the black "sound mark" that was constantly and silently undulating on the back of her hand were enough to prove her identity.

"In the game's setting, she actively erased her memories, and in a state free from any past constraints, she searched for a way to save Solaris amidst the apocalyptic disaster known as the 'Wailing'."

"I see... Oh."

The faces of the wanderers showed neither joy nor sorrow.

However, she felt that this seemed to be the right thing to do, but the lack of memory made her somewhat uneasy.

Akalion gently placed his hand on the wanderer's shoulder.

In that instant, the unique tactile sensation originating from the powerful senses of the true dragon flowed into her chaotic sea of ​​consciousness like a steady ocean current.

“Don’t worry,” his voice was deep and authoritative, carrying a power sufficient to soothe any restlessness, “Whatever has happened in your world, remember, you are not alone! You still have ‘me,’ and ‘I’ll lend you a hand!”

"That's...a strange feeling. Did you use some kind of magic?"

The wanderer instinctively grabbed Akalion's hand that was resting on her shoulder, and then pressed her cheek tightly against it.

This feeling is completely different from the touch of Luminosity just now. If Luminosity is a feeling of warmth, then Akalion is a feeling of security.

And these hands, so white and smooth, with a unique fragrance, made her feel like she was becoming a hand fetishist.

"No, I didn't use any magic—"

Just as Akalion was speaking, the lighthouse that had been spinning alone in the endless darkness suddenly emitted a crimson light once more.

"!"

At this moment, the two people and the dragon present all clearly felt a deeper and closer sense of connection.

It was as if the consciousnesses of the three were forcibly and unreservedly linked together in that instant.

Even their powers began to converge—however, this connection did not last long, and vanished suddenly, like a thread severed by an invisible blade.

The red light on the lighthouse went out completely.

The Dark Sea has returned to its previous state once again.

"what is this?"

The wanderer gazed at the lighthouse standing in the distance, feeling an overwhelming sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Volume 1 Snowfield Dragon Lord: Chapter 85. The Wanderer - Lan Si (Part 2)

"That is the only 'door' for us to enter this dark space, and also the 'wedge' that connects our many worlds. Through it, we can travel to each other's worlds."

Ying answered the wanderer's questions and explained in detail all of Lan Si's identities and experiences, as well as the various functions of the lighthouse and this dark space—from the pure white [Stability Zone] where goods could be exchanged, to the [Golden Zone] that could traverse the world, and the original dark and profound method of traversal, and the possible schemes that might cause changes in the lighthouse and the dark space.

"How, how is it possible?!"

The wanderer's face showed an expression of disbelief and astonishment.

Those already somewhat narrow, gold eyes adorned with red eyeliner were wide open now, giving them a rather adorable, dazed look.

What kind of shameless author could come up with such a ridiculous concept?!

So obscene!

"So, you were just traveling through worlds?"

She looked at Ying and Akalion, somewhat embarrassed.

"Not."

Ying slowly shook her head, a seductive smile, like that of a little succubus, appearing on her face.

"It's just so fun and reassuring. Why don't you give it a try? It's for you, Master Dengdua!"

"!"

The wanderer's gaze involuntarily fell upon Akalion's dragon spear, now restored to its original form. She instinctively gripped her wrist, comparing their sizes.

There's no way we can get in!

Humans aren't rubber!

But then she remembered Ying's figure, which had just become more than three times larger than Akalion.

"You only got bigger because you did that with him?"

"No, it was during the process that I suddenly discovered this ability, otherwise Akalion would have given me a real ordeal! That was the first time in the real world!"

As Ying spoke, a sharp glint flashed in her golden eyes, and her accusing gaze shot straight at Akalion.

"Even though I begged for mercy so much! I was crying so hard I could barely speak! But he still vented his lust on me like crazy. If we hadn't come to this dark space, I probably would have died!"

"Woo..."

Faced with this oppressive accusation, Akalion, feeling guilty, reacted instinctively.

His human form instantly transformed into that enormous true dragon.

Then, like a puppy that has made a mistake, it crawled on the ground and looked up at Ying pitifully with its gray dragon eyes.

This contrasting demeanor immediately softened Ying's heart.

Moreover, in the battles that followed, she used her size advantage to successfully overwhelm Akalion, the unruly "pony," several times.

“However, this was my own choice, so you can’t blame Akalion.” She turned to the wanderer and spoke well of Akalion, “After all, he is a hybrid of a cruel chromatic dragon and a neutral gem dragon. It’s already quite good that he’s like this now, instead of turning back into his original form and eating me on a whim.”

"I would never do that!"

Akalion swung its massive dragon head, proclaiming in a calm tone.

Even if I'm trapped in a dead end—

"Don't say that unlucky word!"

Just as Akalion was about to utter that oath, Ying forcefully stopped him with an overwhelming aura.

A wondrous halo, seemingly constructed from pure will, suddenly shone brightly behind her; the light was so pure and intense that it could be seen even with eyes closed.

She noticed this too.

Within this dark space, the seal of Heaven's Law does not exist.

Her true nature as a [Descendant] was revealed without reservation.

However, the intensity of her spiritual light was still inferior to any wisp of light from the seal that had imprisoned her for hundreds of years.

“We will exist forever and ever!” Ying’s voice trembled slightly as she gazed at Akalion, her golden eyes reflecting a deep fear that could freeze the soul. “Never to be separated.”

Just imagining the scene of being swallowed up by loneliness again made Ying feel like she couldn't breathe.

This is completely different from the experience of fighting Akalion, which was a mixture of pain and pleasure.

That was an existence devoid of any joy, a pure and endless sense of despair, like an impenetrable thick black fog, threatening to completely engulf her existence.

"...Don't worry, Ying, that kind of future will never befall 'me'."

The Wanderer remained silent for a moment, then stepped forward and joined Luminous's side. She aimed her golden eyes, lined with crimson, at Akalion.

“But Akalion, you must not speak of life and death so lightly. It is a very, very painful thing.”

"I am the master of the Tower of Mysterious Radiance, and I can be resurrected without any loss using the [Edivara Resurrection Spell]!"

Faced with this sudden joint accusation from two "selves," Akalion's arrogance made him slightly resentful.

"What if the resurrection spell fails?" The wanderer's eyes suddenly turned incredibly serious, like a golden arrow about to be released from a bow. "The arrogant will surely bring about their destruction!"

“That’s right, the Wanderer is right!” Ying immediately chimed in. “We can’t always rely on resurrection spells as a last resort. Life is extremely precious!”

“…Okay, I understand.”

Seeing that both of them said so, Akalion had no choice but to obediently back down. His giant sword-shaped dragon tail swayed uneasily behind him, and then he quickly changed the subject.

"Wanderer, wanderer, wanderer. It's more like a code name than a name. But we're all 'Lan Si,' so we can't just call you 'Lan Si,' otherwise who would know who we're talking about?"

"What about [Blue Silk]?" The wanderer had already considered this question and had several answers. "'Silk' refers to silk fabric, which is a symbol of softness, nobility, and delicacy. Its pronunciation is also similar to 'successor'."

"no!"

However, this proposal immediately provoked fierce opposition from Akalion and Luminosity.

Isn't that the name of the mentally twisted and erratic "Big Madwoman" from the Hong Kong comic "If I Were Emperor"? This is too weird!

"why?"

The wanderer, however, was somewhat puzzled.

So, Ying and Akalion, one after the other, quickly explained to the wanderer the story of the character named "Blue Silk" from "If I Were King"—how she regained her past life memories and killed her biological parents in this life, how she tested her boyfriend's feelings but ended up becoming his ex-boyfriend, turning into a mortal enemy she both loved and hated, how she was so jealous of her ex-boyfriend having a new lover that she wiped out the orphanage that held them together... and a series of other insane things.

This made the wanderer's expression subtle.

"Then let's go with [Blue Poetry]. Poetry is poetry, a symbol of talent, romance, and beauty."

"This name is great!!"

"A very nice name."

Akalion and Ying immediately gave their high approval.
