“Missed him.”

Cheonma’s resolute answer left me speechless for a moment. Judging from the fact that there wasn’t a single scratch on their body, it didn’t seem like it had been a difficult fight.

‘I was too busy on my end to watch properly.’

So, was it a harder fight than expected? Or was the opponent simply too fast?

‘...Can’t be helped.’

If Cheonma said they missed him, then so be it. I had only asked them to block the enemy, not capture them.

It was a shame that the enemy wasn’t killed on the spot, but I owed Cheonma for their assistance, so there was no reason to complain.

As I came to that conclusion and turned my gaze back to the chieftain—

“...I see.”

The chieftain’s eyes flashed as he stared at Cheonma.

“As expected. It was you.”@@novelbin@@

His glistening eyes burned with raw hatred and murderous intent.

“Those damned dragons…! Despicable wretches… So it was you after all…”

Drip.

Blood trickled from his melted upper body, splattering onto the ground. His narrowed eyes glinted with malice. I wondered how he had recognized us so quickly.

‘So, he saw us back then.’

When I first encountered the chieftain. He had seen me and Cheonma together, and now his gaze was fixed solely on Cheonma.

Moreover—

‘He said “as expected”...’

It seemed he had already suspected that I was behind this whole mess.

‘Then, how did he know?’

The hatred burning in his eyes… Did he assume I was a dragon because of that? That was the most plausible guess. There was no other obvious reason.
