Chapter 141: Truth (II) (1/2)
”It was right there that I saw the last evolution of my Kenji. And it tried to kill me” while Yoichi tried to describe at his best the sensations felt during the Tear Vision, Shioko and Enatsu couldn't believe their ears.
However, they knew that Yoichi would have no reason to lie. He had proved to be a skilled warrior, fearless and capable of fighting without real training.
Yoichi compared the giant red-winged black dragon of his vision to the noble and ancient Therion, the King of Lumya's dragon demons. He explained to his companions that at first, he did not believe that the dragon in the desert was his Oracle, but he just had to pronounce its real name to end the Vision.
”A dragon? It can't be! Dragons became extinct years and years ago! My grandfather has always been clear to me!” Enatsu stammered, waving his arms and interrupting the story.
Yoichi nodded, looking at his friend with honest eyes. Enatsu inwardly knew that the young tamer was not lying, but his insinuation sounded insane. To claim that Kenji was a dragon was an affront to grandfather Yanatsu's tales and the most ancient legends of Lumya.
In addition to the drawings depicting Therion, Ryutaro's old tome gathered all the information about all other minor dragons. Yoichi pointed out that, among all the dragons, only the black King was similar to Kenji. The small black-scaled Oracle was actually closely tied to the biggest and fiercest of the world's guardians dragons.
Shioko did not speak, flashing back to the flames from Yoichi's arms. The anger she felt towards her guildmate subsided: if what that inexperienced blond-haired tamer was saying was true, she too would keep the secret, not confessing to anyone Kenji's true nature.
Yoichi had instead decided to disobey Ryutaro and had confessed the truth to two people, who, although his friends, had met him very recently. By the time he was reincarnated in the new world, many strange events had taken place quickly, leaving him no time to think about himself.
He had woken up like a farmer inside a hut, but now he was fighting inside a dungeon on behalf of a Goldhaven's guild. All these considerations significantly increased the esteem that the red-haired tamer felt for him.
Shioko realized that Yoichi should not be challenged or reprimanded but needed someone experienced to guide him on the right path. His power was sensational and unprecedented.
”Is Emperor Gonshiro still alive?” the archer suddenly asked, interrupting the stormy speech between her two guildmates.
