How to Live as a Half-Dragon

025. miracle (1).

In fact, Drake’s consent to Xian’s words was a calculated act.

I suggested showing the possibility, but in fact… .

‘Eventually, he’ll realize it too.’

The intention was different.

He thought that it would be faster to be discouraged and despair than to persuade with words.

It’s a rather harsh method for a guy, but… .

‘I don’t have much to do now.’

Unintentionally consuming a huge amount of mana, he became very shabby.

If it was a short-term battle, I was confident that I would be able to drop the Dragonian’s head with only my remaining mana, but that was possible assuming that the guy would fight head-to-head.

He was careless, but he couldn’t afford to protect his grandson once.

‘A lot of blood will flow.’

I didn’t have the arrogant thought that I could protect them all.

Even in the middle of it, Drake’s head was thinking of getting out of this place with minimal sacrifice.

“Now, show me the dragonskill first.”

If you’re dealing with a dragonian, the most basic thing is dragonskill.

It was necessary to refine the mana of the mana heart and extract it into a unique aura.

“… … .”

“What are you going to do or not do?”

“I… How does that work?”

When Xian said that, Drake was taken aback.

“what?”

Wasn’t this guy a genius?

The guy who formed a mana heart at the age of 7 doesn’t know how to handle the dragon slash?

No, mana heart and dragon slayer are concepts in a completely different context, but making a mana heart is an act with the goal of training a professional slayer, so it cannot be left unattended.

“Or are you walking the path of magic?”

Not everyone becomes a Slayer, even in the famous Slayer family.

If you don’t have a talent for swordsmanship, you can walk the path of magic.

Although it is inefficient for dealing with dragons and dragonians, it is not useless at all if you have talent.

“That’s not it.”

However, after hearing Xian’s answer, Drake couldn’t help but be immersed in doubt.

That was the reason why I heard the answer that it was neither that nor that.

“Then what do you mean? You haven’t learned anything in three years?”

“that is… . I was very sick until recently.”

It was a lie, of course.

After forming a mana heart in the first place, it becomes healthy enough to not tolerate minor illnesses.

Xian, who had a dragon heart since birth, never caught a cold.

“Huh… . You’re a bad luck guy.”

wait?

He said he was going to his mother’s house now.

I don’t know where he grew up, but he wouldn’t have released a guy who couldn’t even learn the basics into the world alone.

‘perhaps… . It might be worth a try.’

He probably wouldn’t have put those hot pants on as a protector.

It’s been a while since he fell from the group, so if he joined the guardian who was looking for him, the damage could have been minimized.

However, Drake put those thoughts aside for now and focused on Xian.

After all, it was because the first priority was to convince Xian of the cold reality.

“The basic concept of Yongsalgi is refinement.”

Mana is a so-called ore stone full of impurities.

The key was to neatly filter out only the high-purity energy from the rough stone full of impurities.

Drake put a hand on Xian’s wing.

“Now, filter out everything except this energy.”

Then, a small amount of aura was injected.

Seeing the trembling figure for an instant, Drake turned to lean against the aisle wall.

‘Once I get this guy to give up, I’ll have to bring up the story of the protector or something.’

It was a time when I was moving slowly.

Passsss.

Drake’s eyes widened as he quickly turned around.

It was the first time in decades that such a surprise had formed in his seasoned eyes.

“Slaying the dragon… .”

A red aura resembling his hair was blooming all over his body like a haze.

‘I learned it at once… ?’

He even has two mana hearts… .

Drake genuinely thought so.

He said he was seeing a miracle right now.

* * *

Xian felt a momentary fear when Drake’s energy entered his body.

I don’t know if it’s like this or if it’s because I’m a half-dragon.

Still, I knew that the most important thing at this moment was not that kind of thing.

‘I must not forget.’

Unlike the trembling skin, Xian tried to remember the energy of the dragon slash through his whole body with an awake sense.

‘You mean to extract the energy from the mana heart?’

It was still difficult to move mana freely, but there was a feeling that it became a little easier after doing it once.

‘what… ?’

He could feel the mana he had squeezed out was dissipating.

Aside from extracting the dragon’s slash from mana, it collided with the mana generated from the dragon heart, and only felt a tingling sensation.

‘It’s like this… .’

I thought I could understand why he said he couldn’t become a slayer with two mana hearts.

If I managed to train myself, I would be able to grow to some extent, but I wondered if that would be possible even if I tried several times harder than others.

Still, I don’t think it’s that impossible, right?

It was the first time and I didn’t know what it felt like.

If I did it again, it seemed that I could do at least deal with the energy so that it would not collide.

Xian extracted mana from the mana heart again.

But this time, when I tried to focus on pulling out the dragon, they scattered.

‘hmm… . yet again.’

Xian, who once again felt that this was harder than he thought, tried again.

This time it was much easier than before.

‘So that’s what it felt like?’

Removing and refining unnecessary energy between mana was more difficult than I thought.

Perhaps, if Dragon Heart continued to rampage, it would have taken quite a long time, no matter how cyan it was.

but… .

‘Dragon Heart’s mana has calmed down?’

Perhaps the aura of dragon killing itself seemed to naturally suppress the dragon heart’s activities.

This is easy.

No matter how difficult it is to pull out the dragon slash, it becomes simpler than you think if there is no obstruction after pulling it out.

Passsss.

‘This is dragon life… .’

It was such an energy that I felt a sense of rejection for an unknown reason.

But you will gradually get used to this.

Xian slowly opened his eyes, which he had closed very slowly to stay focused.

I saw an old man who was quite perplexed.

“flaw… . Can you gather the scattered energy?”

Sian shook his head slowly.

“no… .”

Not only did I have no idea how to do it in the first place, but now it seemed that if I lost my concentration even a little bit, the dragon attack would be released.

just as expected.

Maybe it’s because I made a sound with my mouth?

The dragon’s flesh faded and soon disappeared.

“ah… .”

“Try again, try again.”

Xian raised the dragon kill again.

This time, I had a knack for not having to close my eyes, so I was able to exhale.

Drake said in a tone that was hard to believe.

“You mean you really never learned?”

“So what? Oh, it’s gone again.”

“… … .”

Drake said, thinking quite seriously.

“Gather your energy at the tip of your index finger.”

Xian raised the Dragon Slayer again and said.

“So that’s because I don’t know how.”

“Didn’t you go around mana with your body earlier?”

“a moment ago? ah… !”

“Think of collecting mana refined through that path only with your fingertips.”

When Xi’an sent purified mana through the mana circuit toward his hands, the lightly blooming dragon’s flesh gathered at his fingertips.

The dragon slashes gathered together were tinged with a deep red light.

“That’s it!”

“What should I do now?”

“follow… . Try it. It is the most basic attitude.”

* * *

Contrary to his initial thought, Drake was focusing on educating Xian.

Once shown, Xian easily followed along, and even Drake, who was usually not good at teaching others, became excited.

“Right!”

No matter how basic the process, is there anyone who absorbs it so smoothly?

Even his grandson, who was said to be a genius, was not at this level.

Drake hinted at his miraculous talent.

No matter how you look at the current situation, it is difficult to accept that it is a simple talent.

“Have you really never learned?”

“learn? What?”

pure expression.

There was no such thing as a lie.

There was only the honesty of children of that age, who were clear and clean.

“So what do we do next?”

“uh… . yes wait That’s how you do it.”

Drake showed the next move at Xian’s urging and watched.

just as expected. This time, Xian easily followed the action.

A really light and clean movement.

Although it is a basic movement, it is not an easy task to simply see and follow.

“hmm… .”

“By the way, did I pass?”

“what? Was there a story like that?”

Drake, who had been teaching for a while, suddenly came to his senses.

Well, it was because of his own suggestion to show the possibility that he was doing this in the first place.

“Passed… .”

In fact, it was already embarrassing for Xian to say such a thing.

It was because I peeked at him to the point where he overflowed with possibilities.

But the problem was with Drake himself.

He did not have in mind that Xian would pass the exam from the beginning.

‘How long will it take if I teach from now on… .’

It doesn’t matter if it’s just for a moment

If only this guy could tie the dragonian’s feet down for a moment… .

It will be of great help in escaping.

If there was even a guardian for the guy who would join later, he might be able to keep everyone safe.

Drake was worried.

“okay. It seems like there are plenty of possibilities.”
