Truly Beautiful
"Understood."
Ruri no longer tried to stop the stubborn Ferda.
She had warned him firmly, thinking he would refuse, but she chose to quietly comply with Ferda's opinion instead.
After Ferda finished his meal, Ruri took the lead and walked ahead.
The place she headed for was the garden clearing.
Е n̄ uḿ а ..і̆ d̀
"I will allow you to hold on for a moment."
Ruri, who had disliked being touched so much, said she would hold Ferda.

"Do as you wish."
"Then."
Ruri grabbed Ferda's clothes.
At that moment, the intensely shining sun disappeared.
W е̇ bn̆ ō v̇ ѐl Е̂_n um_а̌
Something blocked Ferda's vision.
It was an enormously large wing.
A pair of wings sprouted from behind Ruri's back.
The wings beat greatly toward the ground and soared up into the air.

Thud—!
Gravity vanished and air resistance tormented Ferda.
Еn ǔmа
It wouldn't have been strange if he vomited up the breakfast he'd just eaten at any moment.
Ferda swallowed his saliva and overcame the air pressure and wind pressure.
The dizziness and pain were only momentary.
"We have arrived."
Hearing Ruri's words, Ferda opened his eyes.
The scenery spread out before Ferda changed in an instant.

The place they arrived at by flying like that was none other than the mountain summit.
'In terms of perceived time, a mere 3 seconds. Did we arrive at the summit in that time?'
It wasn't teleportation magic, but pure speed—if it was to that degree, she was the fastest among dragon spawns.
'No, she might be the fastest even among dragons.'
As Ferda stared at Ruri, lost in that thought,
"What you need to see is not me."
Ӗnûm а . і̆ d_
"What?"
"Look below."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Ah, right."
Ferda turned his head and looked down.
He looked down at the east side of the Lonely Mountain's summit.
There, a colorless plain spread out.
E n̄ ů m̆.а́ . і d̆
'Demon Land.'*
Land completely polluted when the Demon King died.
Something could be seen wriggling there.
'Monsters.'*
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Monsters.
Invaders of the continent continuously flowing in since the birth of the Demon King.
Ѐ ň ũ m а̇.id
Where they come from, how they are made—even until Ferda killed Valdrova, nothing was known about these organisms.
The only thing known was that their purpose was the same as the Demon King's 150 years ago.
'Creating a land where only death remains.'
Annihilate and rule all living things.
And what Ferda was looking at were the monsters rising from the east.
'As expected of the east, the monsters are enormously huge.'*
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
They were tremendously huge.
As they crawled from the Demon Land that couldn't be purified, they boasted tremendous size.
Just rolling their bodies over was enough to collapse a fortress.
Catastrophe-class scale that humans couldn't handle.
Among the gloomy colors of despair, a single crimson flame close to a primary color was swaying.
No, looking again, that wasn't a flame.

'Red Dragon, Valdrova.'*
The one who would become Ferda's fiancée was fighting there.

Valdrova's build was large like other dragons.
But compared to the monster she faced, she was half the size.
She was far outmatched in weight class, but Valdrova was by no means an easy opponent.
Kugugeung!
Еnú m а̂_
The bodies of the monster and Valdrova collided.
Though the weight class difference was huge, she didn't yield an inch.
Instead, the air greatly surged.
That wave swept through the forest and reached even the high mountain where Ferda was.

"Ugh......."
Ferda's body stiffened rigidly.
Ѐn̂ ǔma.. і̆d
If it were an ordinary person, one would say it was simply from fear, but the cause here was clear.
The dragon's mana was mixed in the wave and pierced through his skin.
'Dragon Fear...... I suppose.'*
It felt like a completely different caliber from when Ruri released Dragon Fear.
Even knowing it wasn't directed at him, it made him feel as if she was staring at Ferda himself.
'So this is the Red Dragon.'*
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
A sense of helplessness on a different dimension that he couldn't feel even as an Archmage enveloped his body.
Valdrova's battle continued.
Kwaddeuk! Kkadeuk!
Aspect of Power and Lord of Fire.
The Red Tyrant's fight was overwhelming.
She strips thick hide with sharp claws.
Ẽn û mâ . īd̃
She severs the monster's blood vessels and tendons with her long snout and teeth.
She moves so agilely that the monster struggling in its death throes looks dull-witted.

She persistently aims for blind spots, leaving no opening for her opponent.
Power, speed, and innate combat sense.
-Kkieeek!
Having severed all tendons, the monster could resist no longer and simply collapsed.
Еñ u m̂ а
It would die just from being left alone.
But Valdrova's violence didn't stop.
Jjeojeok—! Jjeok—!
Her claws pierce the monster's belly and tear the inside wide open.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The monster's purple blood and green entrails were visible even to Ferda far away.
At the same time, Valdrova's belly swelled greatly.
W.е b n̈о̇ v̌ѐ l Е̃ nu m̀а
Intense crimson light blazed from beyond the white abdominal skin.
'Fire Breath.'*
Kwaaaaa!
The Red Dragon's Breath, said to be more powerful than hell's flames, burns the monster's insides.
-Kieeek!
The monster's pained scream bursts out.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
But that cry didn't last long before it ceased.
Valdrova's crimson flames gush out roughly from every hole pierced in the monster's body.
The monster's insides, cooked thoroughly to the point of turning to ash, begin to scatter.
Its form becomes ash and smoke, and on the land where only curses settle, only the Red Tyrant stands.
-Kureuaaa!
Valdrova's roar rings out deafeningly, shaking everything.
Ё n um̀ ǎ . îd
"Uheok!"
Ferda could endure no longer and collapsed just like that.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
'So...... a Dragon Roar has this much power?'*
The sensation of being overwhelmed by a dragon that he couldn't feel even as an Archmage.
His hands and feet tremble uncontrollably, his teeth chatter.
Ferda was literally incapacitated.

"This is the true form of the one who will become your spouse."
Ruri crouched down beside him and looked down at Ferda.
"The blood of the Red Dragon contains ferocious killing intent, the very essence of what you call an evil dragon. That is not something formed from personality—it is essence."
Ruri emphasized the word 'essence'.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Ferda knew why she said that.
'Essence cannot be changed.'*
Е n̊ů ṁ а̇
An evil dragon is forever an evil dragon.
Her killing intent cannot be removed, and there is no guarantee that killing intent won't reach Ferda.
"The Red Dragon is a being that cannot live without destroying. If you stay by the Lord's side, you must be prepared for your back to break every single day."
Ruri's expressionless eyes asked this:
Are you only now realizing that you made a shallow decision?
'Certainly, her power stimulates fear.'*
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Even from far away, her gaze feels vivid as if it pierced into his mind.
It is an undeniable, unavoidable fact.
'But I'm not afraid.'*
Valdrova's gaze is in Ferda's mind, but at the same time, Valdrova's emotions are also contained there.
The emotions of what she saw and felt helped him understand all her actions up to now.
'Those actions are for the sake of this world.'*
Ẃ ѐ b̀n̆ оv̊е l̆ Е̊n̄ ů m_а̃
Just as she hides her form because she loves this world,
She personally hunts monsters to protect what she loves.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
'She is an evil dragon.'*
Yet simultaneously, she is a knight with a noble heart, and the continent's Guardian Dragon.
A penitent walking toward an ideal that can never be reached.
"Truly......."
Еnů ḿа̊ .і̊ d_
So the emotion called fear transforms into awe.
"Magnificent."
Light shone in Ferda's eyes.
He was smiling.

* * *
Ruri disliked humans.
Ёň ü m̌ ӑ . і̃d
If dragon blood flowed in her, she ought to naturally harbor such emotions.
But her lord, Valdrova, loved those beneath her.
'And she was hurt.'*
Since the Third Prince assassination incident, the aversion Ruri held toward humans was even deeper than other dragon spawns.
Because she hated them more than anyone, she knew the gap between humans and dragons better than anyone, and understood what she disliked.
So she already knew what would happen if an ordinary human directly saw a Red Dragon's form.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
'He brought it on himself.'*
Ferda said he wanted to see.
Ruri warned him sufficiently, and even tried to stop him.
Though she did end up grabbing Ferda and flying away to take him before the fight ended!
She thought she had stopped him enough.
Until then, things went as Ruri expected.
Ẃе̂b́ ň.о̊vӗ l̂ E n̊ u̇mа
Ferda, watching that figure, just stared blankly at the scene.
It was the appearance of trembling from Dragon Fear on a different level.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
'Typical situation.'*
That face would gradually turn to fear,
And soon he would blame his own shallowness and beg for his life.
'Around that time, the Lord would also realize.'*
Ĕṅŭm̊ а .ї d
That humans and dragons can never become one.
She thought things would move as she predicted, but they didn't.
"Truly...... magnificent."
An absurd remark burst from Ferda's mouth.

Ruri wondered if she'd misheard and turned her head.
But turning her head, she was even more shocked.
Ẽ n̆úm а́ . їd
'He's smiling?'*
She couldn't understand.
How could he smile while watching something so brutally torn apart and burned?
Shouldn't he be afraid that he too could meet such an ephemeral fate?
'Don't tell me.......'*
At that moment, a realization like thunder and lightning struck Ruri's mind.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Why this man could be at ease even after becoming Valdrova's fiancé.
And why he could smile like this in this situation.
'If it's "that," then everything makes sense.'*
'This crazy masochist.'*
It was the moment Ruri's aversion toward Ferda deepened another level.
* * *
Ẇ.е b ń о̆v̄ е̃l̀ Е́n̂ ũ m̈а̊
That day, Ferda couldn't move a muscle and lay in bed.
He took Dragon Fear, and even experienced a Roar.

For an ordinary human, it would be a situation where they couldn't remain sane.
Conversely, because Ferda was sane, his body broke.
'Can I really not move?'*
Just in case, he tries wiggling his hand.
Еn̂ ů.m a . і d̃
Instead, his toes twitched.
When he tries to blink, his thumb flaps,
When he smacks his lips, his nostrils flare.
'Guess it's no use after all.'*

Just having his mind intact was a miracle.
Lying quietly and sinking into thoughts was the best course of action.
Е̂ n ū mа
'Looks like I'll waste a whole day.'*
When I should be focusing on piercing my Circle, I have to lie here like this.
'Why did I want to see that in the first place?'*
The reason Ferda wanted to see it.
Perhaps a hunch that that battle might give Ferda an answer.
'So that hunch hit the mark?'*

It was something to find out from now on.
Ferda decided to recall everything he had witnessed again.
He returned to the time when Ferda had arrived at the mountain summit.
The smell of the air he breathed, the temperature touching his skin, the sensation of rough gravel touching his toes.
He recalled everything clearly.
In the mental world he created, he lowered his gaze and recalled the fight with her as well.
W̌е̌ b nо̄v_е̃ l̄ _Еn̆ ú m а̂
It was not the evil dragon of infamous notoriety,
'But a noble battle waged by a noble Red Knight.'*

She was the one who would soon become Ferda's spouse.
At that moment, a wriggling sensation was felt in his lower abdomen.
'This is.......'*
Ferda knew this sensation well.
Eń u m̌ а̄. і̌ d
It was the surge he felt when he was expelled from the Rosnova Family.
'A Red Circle is being formed.'*
Red Circle created by emotional turbulence.
Ferda, who had tried to create a Blue Circle, naturally should have rejected this.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
'It's unique.'*
But Ferda didn't.
Ėnù m̂å
He felt that this Red Circle had a different texture.
'This emotion doesn't originate from anger and vengeance.'*
It's a surge from a different emotion than what he had felt.
That emotion possessed potential no less than anger and vengeance.
'I felt this while imagining Valdrova fighting like that.'*
It was the same even now.

Thinking of Valdrova, the circuit became increasingly distinct.
Wasn't the reason he thought he had to watch Valdrova's fight because of this?
'If so.......'*
Perhaps this is the answer.
Ferda hesitated no longer.
He focused on his emotions toward Valdrova.
Ẁеb nо̂ v̆el̄ Ѐ n ùm а̇
The awe he felt, and her figure.
He put vague emotions into words, organized them, and heightened them.

His mana circuit swirls roughly.
The chaotically swirling rotational force grows stronger and stronger, trying to swallow Ferda like a stormy sea.
But Ferda was a man who had reached Archmage through the Red Circle.
He delicately controlled the vortex created by the surge.
Еǹ.ŭ mа̌.id́
He gathers what tries to scatter, compresses and shapes it.
Finally, he draws a single circle.
'Circle.'*
Feeling the lingering afterglow of relief and exaltation felt simultaneously, he once again confirmed the source of this emotion.

'It wasn't created based on hatred and vengeance.'*
Which means there is no identical future, and no identical mistake.
E n̂ üm а̃
'Good.'*
Ferda rejoiced at that fact.
Ferda's nostrils flared.
