A Choice Outside the Frame

Gaaaaaaa!

I roared to encourage myself, and begin to run towards the Little Rock Dragon.

My body is heavy.

Even my view is hazy

Still, I can still move.

If I evolved into Little Ark Dragon, I may be able to recover myself too.

If that could happen then not just my HP, even my physical condition might get better too.

However, I still havent evolved yet.

Ill only evolve after Ive saved Gregory whose body is stuck in the crater.

If I evolved into Little Ark Dragonnow, my body shape will change considerably.

If cant move my body properly because of that, then it would be useless if I cant save Gregory in time.

First of all, Ill rescue Gregory with my current figure, then I evolve intoArk Dragon, then Ill put several people including Gregory under recovery magic.

After that, Ill attract the Little Rock Dragon, allowing Gregory and the villagers to rescue the other injured people.

Excluding Gregory, there are many people injured from having their foot stuck in the crater.

But among the villager lying in the area, there are no one having life-threatening injury.

If I keep using Rolland use recovery magic to hold up, I should be able to earn some time for the villagers to run away with this strategy.

I may not be able to defeat it.

However, I could at least do this much.

[When evolving into Little Ark Dragon, winning chance is 4%, success rate of rescuing all of the injured person is less than 1%]

The word that theGods Voiceshown awhile ago crossed in my head

Dont think about it.

Such a thing, forget about it.

The Little Rock Dragon greatly inhales his breath.

Its a breath attack.

Although Ive never seen it before, this fellow should have a Sand Breathif I remember correctly.

Theres only me in its shooting range.

I should be safe from the breath attack if its here right?

Immediately after that, sandstorm breath rages behind me.

I move straight towards the back of the Little Rock Dragon, and cancel my Roll.

U-Uurgh.

I drag the moaning Gregory from the earth crater.

The rescue is a success, right now I can just evolve to Little Ark Dragon without any trouble, and the proceed to Gregorys treatment..

[When evolving into Little Ark Dragon, winning chance is 4%, success rate of rescuing all of the injured person is less than 1%]

.. If that is true, Ill desperately detain the Little Rock Dragon, then I wonder how many of the villagers that I will manage to save?

This hesitation delayed my action.

It was Gregorys hand.

..me, it doesnt matter anymore

It was a weak, small voice.

However, it still felt powerful somehow.

You whos supposed to be a dark dragon, fighting to protect our village, that part I dont understand. However, even if its only on a whim, when I see that face, I understood that its nothing else aside from your sense of justice.

However, even more so. I can only think of you as a guy without any selfish reason, thats what I really thinks

Gregory said that looking directly at my face.

Looking directly into my eyes.

Gregorys eyes, its the look that Ive seen before.

Its not the eyes that saw a monster, its the eyes that saw a man.

Thats why, from this point onward, this is just a mere intuition. Although its just intuition, by chance, what I ask for, will be very likely to go astray from your true purpose. It might be selfish, cruel even. However, even so, I had nobody else to ask aside from you. Please forgive me.

What does he wanna ask in this kind of situation.

Even more so, for it to go astray from my purpose.

please. Me, it doesnt matter anymore. But the village, please save the village

Saying that much, Gregory lowers his eyes running out of energy.

What Gregory said, I dont understand it for a moment.

However, immediately, I realized what he really meant.

I dont think I understood everything Gregory said.

But, surely, while I avoid one of the choices, hesitating while I move, it is very likely that it shows on my expression.

The little Rock Dragon can be defeated, with the only way of success.

I ignored it unconsciously without even realizing it, surely its because I want to be accepted by the village.

Because I want to be treated as the hero who defended the village.

As a real Tiny Hero.

While pretending not to notice and make an excuse to myself, I made myself looking at a dying human being, however to miss their eyes, such a thing cant be done.

I, towards Gregorys neck I stretch out my claw.

I did not look towards where the head is dropping. Its impossible for me to look at it.

The villagers who saw my actions, starts screaming.

Its normal after all.

Towards the ally and friend whom I yearned for, doing such a sudden thing.

[The experience value cannot be obtained because of LvMAX]

[Title skill Path of Evilwent up from 4 to 5]

[Title skill Mean Kingwent up from 1 to 2]

As the level of my title skills increased, it should also increase the next evolution.

The evolution after theChild Evil Plague Dragon, it should not be that loserJormungand.

Its because I did not raise the title skill that will lead me to the bad direction, it doesnt come out.

E-eeek!

Wh-whats going on, I thought, its not a demon Th-that fellow, because Gregory brought it here.. I thought it was a fellow that we can believe in.. a, aaa, aaahhh

The village is done for! Run away! Leave the injured people! Its already useless!

When I noticed, my eyes chased the back of the villagers who ran away.

Mysteriously there was no sense of resistance inside me, as it seems that I have exceeded the boundary between a demon and a human, just the indescribable feeling of emptiness remains.
