Hero or Villain, Both
Chapter 280: No consequences
CHAPTER 280: NO CONSEQUENCES
Saradon looked like he was enraged because of what Terax said, but it also seemed like he was finally coming back to his senses.
He knew that there was nothing that he could say to convince his Uncle Terax of this idea, so the only thing that he could do was...
Saradon narrowed his eyes to look at me and I could feel the killing intent that was coming from those eyes. It was clear that he wanted to get rid of me to settle this matter once and for all.
Of course, it wasn’t as if I was just going to roll over and let him do that.
As such, the only thing that I could do was fight back.
Though there was a part of me that was still doubtful of what Terax said.
If I were to really harm Saradon, it didn’t feel like the black dragons really would drop this matter without raising a fuss. That was why I was thinking about just how much force I would show.
Saradon seemed to recognize this, even though he didn’t recognize the other looks that I had before.
It seemed that this was one of the few things that he was sensitive towards because he had seen it so many times. It seemed that this Saradon really was someone that was looked down on among the black dragons, so he knew exactly what it looked like when someone looked down on him.
Though in my case, it wasn’t as if I was doing it intentionally.
"You will die." He said this as if he was stating a fact.
It seemed that Saradon had completely lost his temper at this point, but that wasn’t strange since he thought that he was being looked down on by a slime that he thought was below him.
With the pride that dragons should have had, it would have been strange if he didn’t feel this way.
As such, he didn’t hesitate to transform into his dragon form.
His dragon form wasn’t as big as Terax’s, but it wasn’t that small either.
He was the size of a large building, certainly much larger than Iris when I first met her.
After transforming, he didn’t waste any time in slamming down his tail as if he wanted to crush me with one swing. It seemed like he really wasn’t thinking about anything, he was just trying to solve this as soon as possible.
But it wasn’t as if I was that easy to crush since I was a slime.
Seeing this tail come down at me, I released my transformation and returned to my slime form.
Not only that, I started increasing the size of my slime form until I matched Saradon’s size. Since I was the same size as him, it was easier for me to block the tail that was falling down on me.
The tail that came down didn’t have the same force as the Thunder Boar’s charge.
After all, the Thunder Boar had a special skill that increased the force of its charge which made it much stronger. It wasn’t the same for Saradon who just used a normal whip of the tail against me.
Once I caught the tail and negated the force behind it, I stopped for a moment to think about what to do next.
During this time, there was a surprised and confused look that appeared on Saradon’s dragon face. It didn’t seem like he could believe that a lowly slime like me would be able to stop a single blow from a mighty dragon like him.
That was what gave me the time to think about this.
But it didn’t seem like Terax was planning on giving me this time.
"It seems like you aren’t taking what I said seriously. I already told you to use your full force."
"Uncle Terax, he doesn’t deserve to use my full force." Saradon complained when he heard this.
However, Terax just completely ignored him as he looked at me.
I already knew that he was talking to me, but I chose not to answer since it would be troublesome to answer.
Saradon seemed to slowly piece this together as well, which just made him look even angrier.
But Terax once again ignored him as he said, "It seems like you really won’t take this seriously unless I give you a show of sincerity. In that case..." Taking a deep breath, he said in a serious voice, "I give you my word that you will suffer no consequences from this fight. This is a promise that I make in my name."
I couldn’t help being a bit surprised when I heard this, but Saradon didn’t give me a choice to say anything.
"You really think that you’re stronger than me? I’ll show you why you’re nothing more than a lowly slime!" As he said this in an enraged voice, he suddenly flew up into the sky.
As he said this, he raised his head as if he was gathering something inside of his mouth.
There was only one thing that a dragon could be doing with this kind of motion.
He was gathering flames inside of his mouth for a flame breath.
Seeing how he was going all out, I really didn’t have a choice at this point.
Not to mention that there was what Terax had said.
In that case, should I just show a bit of what I was capable of?
He had made this promise in his name and this wasn’t something that would be done that easily by dragons, so it seemed like I was able to make a move.
"Well, in a worst case scenario, I can always stop myself from seriously harming Saradon."
With my mind made up, I suddenly transformed back into human form.
Once I was in human form, I pointed at Saradon who was in the sky and released a beam at him
But this wasn’t the only thing that appeared.
There were several other balls of energy that appeared around Saradon.
