âGaaaaaaaâ!â
I roared to encourage myself, and begin to run towards the Little Rock Dragon.
My body is heavy.
My bleeding is pretty bad too.
Even my view is hazy
Still, I can still move.
If I evolved into ãLittle Ark Dragonã, 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 havenât evolved yet.
Iâll only evolve after Iâve saved Gregory whose body is stuck  in the crater.
If I evolved into ãLittle Ark Dragonãnow, my body shape will change considerably.
If canât move my body properly because of that, then it would be useless if I canât save Gregory in time.
Â
First of all, Iâll rescue Gregory with my current figure, then I evolve intoãArk Dragonã, then Iâll put several people including Gregory under recovery magic.
After that, Iâll 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.
Â
If I keep using ãRollãand 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 ãLittle Ark Dragonã, winning chance is 4%, success rate of rescuing all of the injured person is less than 1%]
Â
The word that theãG.o.dâs Voiceãshown awhile ago crossed in my headã
Donât think about it.
Donât think about it.
Such a thing, forget about it.
The Little Rock Dragon greatly inhales his breath.
Even though its body is made of rock, it expands from the inside.
Itâs a breath attack.
Although Iâve never seen it before, Â this fellow should have a ãSand Breathãif I remember correctly.
Thereâs only me in its shooting range.
I run in  between the Little Rock Dragonâs feet by using ãRollã.
I should be safe from the breath attack if itâs here right?
Immediately after that, sandstorm breath rages behind me.
I move straight towards the back of the Little Rock Dragon, and cancel my ãRollã.
âU-Uurghâ¦.â
I drag the moaning Gregory from the earth crater.
The rescue is a success, right now I can just evolve to ãLittle Ark Dragonã without any trouble, and the proceed to Gregoryâs treatmentâ¦..
[When evolving into ãLittle Ark Dragonã, winning chance is 4%, success rate of rescuing all of the injured person is less than 1%]
â¦.. If that is true, Iâll 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.
I was going to shake off the hesitation at once, but in the place where Iâm going to start evolving, something suddenly touched my foot.
It was Gregoryâs hand.
ââ¦..me, it doesnât matter anymoreâ
It was a weak, small voice.
However, it still felt powerful somehow.
ââ¦â¦You whoâs supposed to be a dark dragon, fighting to protect our village, that part I donât understand. However, even if itâs only on a whim, when I see that face, I understood that itâs nothing else aside from your sense of justice.
When I look at you right now, Iâm confident that itâs the eyes of a human. But youâre a dragon though.
However, even more so. I can only think of you as a guy without any selfish reason, thatâs what I really thinksâ
Gregory said that looking directly at my face.
Looking directly into my eyes.
Gregoryâs eyes, itâs the look that Iâve seen before.
Itâs not the eyes that saw a monster, itâs the eyes that saw a man.
âThatâs why, from this point onward, this is just a mere intuition. Although itâs 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 n.o.body else to ask aside from you. Please forgive me.â
What does he wanna ask in this kind of situation.
Even more so, for it to go astray from my purposeâ¦.
ââ¦â¦please. Me, it doesnât matter anymore. But the village, please save the villageâ
Saying that much, Gregory lowers his eyes running out of energy.
However, to me, I understood that Gregoryâs HP still have a little bit remains.
What Gregory said, I donât understand it for a moment.
However, immediately, I realized what he really meant.
I donât 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 itâs 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 ãTiny Heroã.
While pretending not to notice and make an excuse to myself, Â I made myself looking at a dying human being, however to miss their eyes, such a thing canât be done.
I, towards Gregoryâs neck I stretch out my claw.
And then send his head flying.
I did not look towards where the head is dropping. Itâs impossible for me to look at it.
The villagers who saw my actions, starts screaming.
Itâs normal after all.
Towards the ally and friend whom I yearned for, Â doing such a sudden thing.
[The experience value cannot be obtained because of LvMAX]
[t.i.tle skill ãPath of Evilãwent up from 4 to 5]
[t.i.tle skill ãDisasterãwent up from 1 to 3]
[t.i.tle skill ãMean Kingãwent up from 1 to 2]
As the level of my t.i.tle skills  increased, it should also increase the next evolution.
Only one, the only remaining choice that would give me a chance at victory.
The evolution after theãChild Evil Plague Dragonã, it should not be that loserãJormungandã.
Its because I did not raise the t.i.tle skill that will lead me to the bad direction, it doesnât come out.
âE-eeek!â
âWh-whatâs going on, I thought, itâs not a demonâ¦â¦ Th-that fellow, because Gregory brought it hereâ¦.. I thought it was a fellow that we can believe in.. a, aaa, aaahhhâ¦â
âThe village is done for! Run away! Leave the injured people! Itâs already useless!â
The villager who were watching in the distance till now, starts scattering at full speed once they was Gregoryâs death.
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.
