A heavy silence filled the space.

The only sound was the faint dripping of liquid.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

The source of the sound was my hand.

Blood continued to drip from the wounds where I had gripped the sword.

Watching the droplets fall, I thought to myself—

Ah, fuck, this hurts like hell.

‘…Why does this hurt so damn much…?’

I kept my face expressionless, but it was excruciating.

Was it because I had gripped the blade longer and tighter than last time?

I glanced down at my palm.

‘Well, shit.’

The bone was exposed.

Having experienced this before, I knew that my regeneration would be frustratingly slow.

The bandages I had wrapped around my hand were already soaked through and unraveling.

I didn’t really mind—it wasn’t mine, after all. It belonged to Seol Yeong.

But I couldn’t just leave it like this…

I was considering tearing my clothes to wrap the wound when—

Ssssshhhh.

‘Huh?’

A sensation spread through my left arm.

Eternal Bind.

Eternal Bind suddenly moved, coiling itself around my injured hand like a bandage.

‘…Oh.’

Was it trying to help?

A cursed relic with a sense of consideration?

Tighten.

‘Gah…!’

As if it had read my thoughts, Eternal Bind tightened even further.

It was probably to stop the bleeding, but the irony of the situation wasn’t lost on me.

Suppressing the pain, I heard the blacksmith speak.

“…What do you mean, you’re going to kill the Dragon Emperor?”

“Exactly what I said. I’m going to kill him.”

“Bullshit! How can a dragon kill the Dragon Emperor?!”

His eyes were red with emotion. His expression was one of sheer desperation.

“Why not? He can be killed, just like anyone else.”

“Don’t try to deceive me! Dragons can never defy the Dragon Emperor! Do you think I don’t know that?!”@@novelbin@@

Hearing that, I tilted my head slightly.

Couldn’t defy him? I didn’t think that was true.

‘If that were the case…’

Then there would’ve been no reason for Dokgo Jun to act the way he did.
