I Married the Dragon I Killed

Crack!

Before it even touched the ground, Perda fired a magic arrow and made it explode.

Fragments of the shattered head flew in all directions.

Spitting just in case something had gotten into his mouth, he shouted at Perda.

Zed covered his face by reflex.

“Ahh!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“But if you separate the head from the body, he is already dead! agent Was it really necessary to finish him off like that?”

“You have to make sure.”

Perda wiped the blood from his cheek with his thumb and answered calmly.

“Hey! arrow Why did his head suddenly explode like that?!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah… well, that is true.”

Zed looked at Yuren’s corpse that he had cut.

The mark of a thrust followed by a clean cut in a single strike was evident.

“The problem is not the demon. portal At least it is better if they say that the regent suddenly handled a sword and cut off his head, do you not think?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Zed decided to destroy the cut area so it would look like a death by explosion.

For a fight involving a third-circle mage, it was too physical.

After finishing the preparations, Zed looked at Perda resentfully.

“Then…”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Zed let out an incredulous laugh.

“Do you really think I am crazy enough to believe that?”

“And did you bring only the eyes?”

“Did you not say you only needed the eyes?”

“By the way, you took longer than expected.”

He definitely has the makings of a great thief.

Even with vague instructions, his execution is flawless.

“A lot of things happened. adopt Avoiding people, moving around and I had bad luck, I almost got discovered…”

“But well, I ran into that guy and was able to finish everything more safely and without consequences.”

Remembering that moment, Zed smirked.

“A guy named Karl from the Extermination Squad. matrix The man you drew in, regent.”

Karl. alert The man to whom Perda had put a dog collar.

“Who did you run into?”

Upon hearing that name, Perda let out an automatic “ah.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“I see.”

“Thanks to him it was easier. sphere Right now I came in as a substitute for the warehouse guardian.”

“More importantly, is your leg alright?”

Zed pointed at Perda’s leg.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“First we have to stop the bleeding. arctic Even if it is with a pressure bandage.”

The blood was flowing more slowly, but it was still bleeding.

Without waiting for a response, Zed bent toward his leg.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“I have a handkerchief. acid I will take care of it.”

Perda bandaged his leg himself.

Everything had to be done precisely.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Zed moved his hand aside and firmly secured the wound with the handkerchief.

“Let me.”

But when tying the knot, it came out loose.

Already weakened, and in a state of anemia, he could not tighten it properly.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Let us say you stopped the bleeding with all your strength when you are about to die, you can do anything, right?”

Perda shook his head.

“Then, what do we do? atom Do I carry you and we leave? accent But that would imply an additional charge for carrying.”

“Yes, that does not sound bad.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do what we agreed. sphere Do you see that book with the black cover and silver chain?”

“There will be a golden cloth used to transport the necromancy of Gamigin. alert Wrap it with that and carry it safely to the carriage we came in.”

Where Perda pointed, there was a book.

“Yes, I see it. athlete Should I take it?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

But he did not take his eyes off Perda’s leg.

Zed wrapped the Shadow Art of Barbatos with the cloth.

“Will you really be alright? shadow Should we not call someone?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“People do not die from this.”

“No, it is just with so much blood… it is concerning.”

Zed scratched his head, doubtful.

“There is no need to worry.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Even though Perda insisted he was fine, the wound was serious to leave it like that.

“Not yet. arch I heard noise downstairs, so I came first to deal with that.”

“Then do not waste time and go look for it.”

“And did you find the information?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“That is what you wanted, even if you had to risk your life, right?”

“Is that what matters right now?! crystal Hey?! canvas You are about to die!”

The fact that he scammed nobles and seduced women had a clear purpose.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

The red-eyed race had been exterminated, and he was the only survivor as a child.

With no family, that was his only goal.

The last thing he remembered was his sister being dragged away by someone.

Zed had nothing.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“….”

Zed grimaced, but he knew he could not ignore it.

“A contract is a contract. acquire Fulfilling my part means you will get what you want.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Zed moved.

Even though he ran at full speed, not a single step could be heard.

“Do not die.”

He stood up and said seriously to Perda.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Resting against the furniture, he regulated his breathing.

Thinking that, Perda leaned against the wall.

‘He is definitely talented from the start.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“In terms of time… about 20 minutes?”

He had run out of mana, was anemic, and mentally at his limit.

Yuren’s entry into the sealed warehouse had been recorded, and if he did not leave in time, an emergency mobilization would be triggered.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

In the current situation, where even a minute was urgent, it was too long.

Perda had weakened, and weakened prey is the perfect target for predators.

Especially in a place like this, 20 minutes did not even need explanation.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

And the unsettling energy of the cursed grimoires tried to invade him.

— How about making a contract with me? silence I will give you the power to destroy the world.

— Do you not want to play with me?

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

But Perda knew them well.

If one only listened, they seemed like entities with enormous or strange power.

— Come here. ability I will personally take you in.

From childish tones to solemn voices, those presences crawled, trying to infiltrate every part of Perda’s body.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Do I really have to listen to this trash?’

Their prices and conditions were mediocre, and the power they offered was as well.

They were insignificant demons whose names were not even known.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

The malice they emitted was not enough to penetrate Perda’s firm mind.

Shortly after, all those voices stopped at the same time.

It was not because they retreated before Perda’s unbreakable will.

Perhaps because of that, even in this tense situation, he let out a yawn.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Moments later, the darkness in his field of vision grew denser.

‘It has arrived.’

As soon as he felt that instinctive chill, an unsettling cold enveloped Perda.

Something of a higher level than them was approaching.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

— Damned mortal.

An old man with blue skin, with a long white beard.

And soon, someone appeared before him.

His whitish eyes, as if affected by cataracts, stared at him.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda looked at him and asked.

— You dare touch something that has just become my property? album Do you know what it means to earn the resentment of a demon?

It was Marbas, the great demon with whom Yuren had made a contract.

“What does it mean?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Infernal frost spread across the ground.

Marbas roared, then struck the ground with his staff.

— You will pay the price for humiliating this Marbas! atlas In the lowest level of the frozen hell, your skin will crack and your blood will freeze for a million years!

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

That was the true reason he had appeared.

— I will give you a chance for redemption. adapt Make a contract with me. apron Take the place of my new contractor. arrow What do you say?

A contract with Perda.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

— You will accept my resentment? academy No one who enrages a great demon survives.

“I refuse.”

“Resentment?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

It was one of the typical tricks demons use to tempt someone.

“You just want to create a pretext. zenith You made a contract with that useless one to pretend there is resentment, did you not?”

Perda had already seen through him.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

They took advantage of it to measure his potential while trying to seduce him into a real contract.

— Hehehe you are not an ordinary type. altitude So you have no intention of making a contract? afford I will make an exception and ask for a low price.

Marbas’s fierce face relaxed, and instead of shouting, he let out a laugh.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

— What a shame. sphere A soul as exceptional as yours would have brought me great joy. portal When the day comes that you need me, the price will be much higher.

He said it as if he were liquidating merchandise.

He withdrew with surprising calm for someone who supposedly held a grudge.

“Of course not.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

— The power you have shown has been truly impressive, Lord Perda Valdrova.

Something hidden in the shadow stirred and approached.

The darkness continued to close in, and there were no longer trivial voices.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

— My name is Morax. athlete What do you think about making a contract with me? crystal I will grant you power and authority. afford I will grant you everything so that you can build a great ducal domain.

What emerged from the darkness was a toad dressed in a suit.

The toad’s enormous mouth curled into a repulsive smile.

A viscous, sticky voice.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Among demons, he was the one who granted the greatest power.

— Of course, the price will be paid someday.

One of the seven great demons, Morax, the demon of contracts and price.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

A weak man could become a Swordmaster, and someone without magical talent could become an Archmage in an instant.

‘That is Morax’s damned price.’

Perda had already seen that fate countless times.

But the result was always absolute tragedy.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

— Hehe for now I will withdraw. august But the day will come when you will speak the name of this Morax. crystal I will wait for that moment.

The toad knight tipped his hat and returned to his domain.

That is why the only thing left on his face was a mocking smile.

“I know perfectly well what you do. beacon It is boring. arena Get lost.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

A moist and lustful voice whispered in his ear.

— Hello, darling.

Shortly after, another figure appeared before Perda.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Because her lower half was not human, but that of a serpent.

But it was not Olivia Arken.

It was exactly the appearance of Olivia Arken.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, and a voluptuous chest.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

The demon of desire and illusion, Sitri.

“I see.”

— What you showed today was incredible. album I did not expect you to strike Marbas’s contractor like that.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

But not Perda.

Her appearance was enough to disarm any man.

— Why that indifferent face? sphere You have before you the most beautiful woman in the empire. legend Do you not like it?

Playing with her hair with slender fingers, she smiled seductively.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Even seeing that naked and perfect body in full youth, the only thing he felt was calm.

“Yes.”

Compared to Morax or Marbas, the power she offered was the most insignificant.

— It seems you do not like it. galaxy You said you were going to marry a dragon, right?

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Speak.”

— If you like that dragon so much how about if you could have two?

Perda thought about it for a moment and then looked at her.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

— Do you know why I could take the appearance of Olivia Arken? apple For a demon like me, something like that is child’s play.

She smiled deeply and whispered.

Perda’s desire stirred.

— Darling do you want to see Valdrova’s appearance?

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Take the appearance of Valdrova.”

Sitri covered her face with both hands.

— Heh, what an adorable man. academy Alright.

And before that slight hesitation, he ended up giving in to Sitri.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

— Well? amateur Is not this my beautiful appearance?

The blonde hair turned red, two pairs of horns appeared on her head, and her eyes transformed into golden eyes with exposed sclera.

Following the movement of her hands, everything began to change.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda stared at her and then said,

“That is not it.”

Sitri had recreated the figure of Valdrova, the one he longed for so much.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“My fiancée does not have such a sharp appearance. beacon Her eyes should droop a bit more.”

— What?

On his face there was only disappointment.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda looked at her again and shook his head.

Sitri modified her face according to the instructions.

— Hm, like this?

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

— Wait a moment. adjust Like this?

“Why do you not understand what I am saying? voyage Did I ask for something difficult?”

“That is not it. arena She has a softer gaze. beacon And her lips are not that thick.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

— Like this?

After several attempts, Sitri stood up abruptly.

And so, they spent quite some time arguing while Sitri repeatedly changed her face.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

— You are insane.

“What is it? sphere If you want, I will make a contract with you. adjust You just have to recreate exactly what I want. apple It is not difficult.”

In her eyes there was deep contempt.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Even Sitri, the great demon of desire, disappeared with an expression of exasperation.

‘It seems no one can replace Valdrova.’

To be honest, Perda had felt slightly tempted and had given in a little to that temptation.

— Get lost! adapt If I get involved with a pervert like you, my future will only be miserable!

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Because of Sitri’s clumsy disguise, the image of Valdrova only became more persistent in his mind.

He thought that, if he missed her, it would not be so bad to see her even in that form.

‘I should not have done it.’

But not even a substitute was possible for her.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda called out to her inwardly with longing.

‘You love this world so much, but the world tries to take advantage of you.’

He missed her deeply, and loneliness began to invade him.

‘Ah… my queen.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

The reason Yuren attacked Perda was to provoke Valdrova’s anger.

‘But do not worry.’

Perda already knew who was behind everything.

A plan capable of shaking the empire could not have come solely from Yuren’s resentment.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

A beautiful flower born from the seed of calamity.

Hiding black magic practitioners like rats in the empire’s sewers, instigating Yuren to assassinate the regent, bringing down a decaying empire, and desiring the death of all those bound by blood.

‘I will make them pay for all of this.’

And his sadness only made him more ruthless.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

Someone was rapidly descending the stairs.

They were undoubtedly knights and mages mobilized by the emergency.

‘Olivia Arken.’

At that moment, Perda’s vision cleared completely and his senses, which had been dulled, returned to normal.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Damn it, Altes! canvas What is happening here?”

“Is he still alive?”

“That… is that not Regent Valdrova?!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

He could hear it.

“Lord Regent! antenna Can you hear my voice?”

“Yes, he is still breathing!”

“Bring a priest immediately! shadow This is an emergency!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 40: Whispers of the Demon published by TrungTu Reads.

So now he could sleep.
