Suna
I could hear Clairmont’s panting close to the side of my ears. The two of us stayed in our position for some time, silently hugging and being hugged, while I assessed the situation that just happened to me.
The dragon had now completely stopped its walking towards us, and was closing an opening surrounded by huge pointy rocks that could snap a building into half, presumably its mouth. Smokes could be seen escaping the corners of its mouth as its blazing orange eyes darted everywhere, probably looking for us. The ground below our original spot was charred and in fire.
Eh?
Don’t tell me the dragon just breathe fire on us?
“Are you alright?” Clairmont pulled away from me and scanned my face. I was thankful for his concern, but what the dragon just did weights heavier on my mind.
“Did it just... almost kill us?” I shifted my gaze to peek at his face. My heart is picking up its pace, but I didn’t kno
SunaDeath, an irreversible process where all three main systems of life, namely the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, and nervous system, ceased to function. Can be classified into two types, somatic death and cell death.So which category did the dragon falls into?“Dead?” I raised an eyebrow. I’m very sorry to break this serious and sad moment even, but are we talking about literal death here?“Do you mean, literally dead?”I saw Clairmont’s expression softened a bit. That mysteriously made me glad that he didn’t show his solemn expression anymore.“Yes, dead. Literally.” He answered. His forehead wasn’t attached to the dragon’s skin anymore, but he kept one hand rubbing on its surface.He then added. “But its body were unable to return to the world and is being controlled by some force.” Clairmont pulled away his face from the dragon and turned
Suna“I’m hungry.” Clairmont was sitting on the ground, legs crossed, as he looked at me walking closer to him.“Huh?” I grimaced. “What do you want me to do about it?”Clairmont shrugged. “Well, cook, I guess?”I narrowed my eyes at him, while also contemplating. We should be returning to Rustaval right now and tell the people that the dragon is no longer there to destroy the country. To add, I also wanted to quickly check on the description the system just gave me earlier. It seemed to be very important, especially when the novel still hadn’t reached its ending.Despite that, now that Clairmont had mentioned it, I too felt this churning sensation of my stomach being empty. It’s already evening, and we’ve long since missed our lunch. It probably won’t hurt in having a meal before we return to Rustaval. And the system won’t just run away like that.I op
SunaPhew, my body is in pain. I was punching my shoulders while sitting on the bed, and letting out groans like I’m an old woman.“Aigoo…” I remarked. I don’t really know the meaning, but I saw a lot of Korean aunties say that when they’re on the verge of complaining, or when they’re sad or something.They literally said that in almost any occasion.Still, I didn’t know that using so much Mana could hurt me physically, but apparently, they could.I grimaced at my status window. I was using a lot of my Mana that that seven figure Mana reserve I had in my body was halved in a single day. As for Clairmont, he was literally defeated and was sprawling across the bed in front of me, with his limbs stretched like a starfish.I could hear his soft groan.“Hey…” I ushered in, while massaging my aching arm. “Are you okay?”Clairmont slowly opened his eyes. F
SunaA metallic fumbling resonated in the morning air, before I pushed the two-leaf balcony door outwards, revealing the gentle and dim morning ambience. The sun is barely up in the horizon, and although this street which houses noblemen and noblewomen weren’t usually as lively as the middle-class streets, they were especially quiet as the break of dawn.I like this ambience. I like how I am able to wake up earlier than most people, and enjoyed the serenity the morning blessed me.As I retracted away from the balcony window, I resumed on braiding my half-done hair while walking across the room to fetch a table. This morning’s menu is going to smell a bit smoky, so I better cook as close to the window as possible.While I crossed the bed, I saw Clairmont, who was lying flat on the bed, had already opened his eyes and was staring at the ceiling.“You’re up? Good morning.” My head turned briefly to Clairmont before return
Suna“Oh heroes!” Elfina yelped, while acting like she just saw the love of her life. Both me and Clairmont had just arrived from the hotel by scrambling our way to the palace. If you read the previous chapter, you’ll know the reason why.I was looking behind me towards the entrance of the throne room. Who knows there might be any other person besides us being called in here that makes Elfina dramatically act like that. But no, there’s no one. The guards have all changed though, which is a good thing.“Did you guys get a good rest?” Elfina trotted closer in a quick pace, before pulling both of my hands up to her chest. Both of her green eyes were sparkling. I was sure the last time I checked, Elfina wasn’t this dramatic. Or was it just me?“I’m…” My eyes rotated between Elfina and Clairmont. “I’m good, I guess?”“How about you, master Clairmont?”
Kingdom of Rustaval is in celebration. With the side of the pavement road decorated in glowing and colourful orb-like flowers, the people of Rustaval, elves and other races alike, left their homes to go to the palace to join in on that occasion.A huge and spacious hall was used to house almost all the populace of the central elven kingdom; hence the celebration was pretty grand.In the midst of the bustling hall filled with chattering and laughter, at the most isolated balcony near the end of the throne chair, Suna was staring blankly at the moon. Her light bluish ashen platinum hair, which was styled to freely hung on her back, is flowing softly upon being blown by the wind. The young girl looked concerned for something.“You aren’t going to eat something?” A figure hover behind her, while casually holding a conversation with her.Suna turned around to see Clairmont walking towards her; one hand holding a considerably big plate laden w
SunaThere should be a dramatic song playing in the background. There should. Well, at least that’s what I imagined when I read the scene when Minerva met Carter.But no. There’s nothing. Only the sound of the wind, I guess? And some mumbling of the people inside the carriage that we rode which didn’t leave yet.I bet I probably looked way stupid now. With my jaw hung loose above my chest, my eyes were fixed on the figure of Carter; both malnourished and hurt.Wasn’t Minerva supposed to save him? Where is she?“I appreciate that astounded look of yours, but don’t you think we should do something with him first? Healing him or something?” Clairmont’s nonchalant tone managed to break me out of my stupor.“You’re…” I fluttered my eyes for a moment, trying to pick the sanity that left me a few minutes ago. “You’re right. But I don’t know how to heal-&rdquo
SunaI can tell from that look on his face that he is wary of us. Yet what is that strange look he tossed to Clairmont?I passed my gaze between Clairmont and Carter before I said, “Are you-”GGRRRRR…..The three of us paused.Clairmont’s expression showed a hint of pure confusion after that. I don’t know if it was an acting or not. “…I don’t think my radar picked up any monster nearby.” He then turned to look at me.Okay, so that wasn’t an acting. Your innocence is kind of cute right now, Clairmont, no lie. But we all know what that sound was. And given the situation, I think I know why Carter gave Clairmont that hungry look.Emphasize on the ‘hungry’, please.Another growl resounded. I was pretty convinced in that very moment that Carter was in fact, hungry.“Uhm…” My gaze faltered between Clairmont, who nonchalantly had begun
