Chapter 150

Looking back, there was always a lingering unease in my heart.


Did I really ride on the back of a dragon?


Did I tame the dragon?


Could I take responsibility for the being I tamed?


…Did I convince Guhae?


Through the broken wall, I see Guhae, alone, enduring the dragon’s rampage, her sharp teeth clenched tightly.


“Ah…■■■…run away.”


Seeing that, I clench my fists, feeling the strength surge.


Ah, I’ll be honest.


I didn’t convince her at all. And I didn’t convince myself either.


Yeonghwa declared her love for me.


…I don’t think the method I used when Guhae was confused was wrong.


We confirmed each other’s feelings.


A kiss, carried by the momentum, not wanting to hurt each other as lovers.


I think it wasn’t bad.


…But was that really enough?


My relationship with Guhae is special.


Teacher and student, childhood friends, lovers.


And a hybrid of human and dragon.


I look down at my left arm.


To calm Guhae’s rampage, I put my left arm in her mouth instead of a muzzle.


Even now, it was a truly foolish method.


The wound has healed, but the memory is still vivid.


I love Guhae.


Whether Guhae lives a human life or chooses a dragon’s life.


I want to be with her.


I’m happy that Guhae doesn’t want to hurt me. It’s lovely.


But I can’t rely on that feeling.


“…Looking back, I’ve been too sweet lately.”


That’s not enough.


When we were kids, we played around more like mischievous kids.


Perhaps my appearance shook her mind, stimulating her.


Thud-thud! Thud-thud!


The deep blue energy covering Guhae’s body gathers and takes shape, gradually transforming.


The antlers on her head, the thick dragon tail adorned with beautiful black scales along the tailbone.


It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this.


The mixed form of human and dragon, the half-dragon.


“Kaaa…!”


Facing Guhae, whose dragon eyes flash as she looks at me amidst the rampage.


Well, she’s still the same cute Guhae.


[Tagoo! Tagootagoo~ Tatagoo~!]


(Heh! Looks like you need strength~ Partner!)


Suddenly, Tagujang’s voice echoes in my mind, but I don’t hesitate.


Clang~!


[Ta, Tagoo!? Tagoot!]


(De! Det!? I’ve become a fool!)


I throw the staff to the ground, discarding it.


The Dog Chasing Stick Technique is only valuable when it can mercilessly strike the opponent.


So, it’s unnecessary.


This isn’t a life-or-death fight.


“I’ll tell you in advance, this isn’t a fight. It’s just playing in the mud… You could call it a martial arts match if you want.”


So…


I won’t get hurt by you. I won’t die.


“Don’t hesitate, come at me.”


Standing in the pouring rain, I spread my arms.


Double Hands Fighting


Left – Empty Clarity Fist, Right – Taijiquan


I boldly reveal my body and declare with a resolute face.


“Or is the man you fell for so weak that he can’t play with you if he doesn’t control his strength?”


“……!!”


Those words act as a signal, and strength surges into Guhae’s eyes and legs.


A confused mind.


Even in the midst of a dragon’s rampage, there are things that cannot be tolerated.


The most precious treasure in the world.


I cannot tolerate any act that disregards Sima Mantian.


“■■■■■-!!”


Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms – Sudden Strike


The dragon-like girl bursts with emotion and charges into Sima Mantian’s arms.


Kwa-wang-!


The floor of the room where the half-dragon was just moments ago shatters into pieces, unable to withstand the force.


The half-dragon, covered in protective energy, and the man revealing his torso.


To put it metaphorically, it’s like a one-ton truck hitting a deer.


The moment raindrops from the sky collide with the ground.


At that time, watching the scene.


Jiegal Yang’s granddaughter and Jiegal Guhae’s friend, Jiegal Yeon (17), said this.


“Yes, so… at first, I thought it was over as soon as it started.”


“The difference in strength was obvious from the beginning. Moreover, a head-on collision with a rampaging Guhae! I thought it was suicide!”


Jiegal Yeon, even after seeing it with her own eyes, still couldn’t believe it.


“But the result was as if the ground…”


She furrowed her delicate brows but, having no choice but to admit it, she declared with a tired face.


“One thing is certain, Sima Mantian. That man is insane.”


Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh!


The sound of countless raindrops hitting the ground echoes.


Yes, the moment the collision ended long ago.


The sound of the human body, who fearlessly provoked the dragon, exploding did not echo.


The half-dragon’s internal energy output and physical abilities were overwhelming.


It’s only natural.


A mere human can’t possibly defeat a dragon head-on.


Can’t possibly tame it.


But, but, but.


Jiegal Yang, who came upon hearing the commotion, widened his eyes with interest. Jiegal Yeon’s eyes were filled with shock.


…But it was the half-dragon who fell to the ground.


“Gya? Gyaot?”


Standing was Sima Mantian!


Each reacted to the completely unexpected sight.


And.


Feeling the wet, moist ground on her soft cheek, the half-dragon also thought.


‘…What just happened?’


Yes, suddenly the ground rose.


The initial burst of energy, the charge. Just before hitting Sima Mantian, his body shook.


Then disappeared like a mirage.


And suddenly, the ground rose before her eyes and collided.


No, to be precise…


She was gently laid down by Sima Mantian’s hand.


Without getting hurt at all.


“■■■■■-!?”


Just before she could rise, roaring in anger.


“There are many things I want to say, but let’s make this clear first.”


The sky is blocked by a shadow as the half-dragon lies down.


Naturally, it’s Sima Mantian.


The process is simple: using the Soul Flight and Spirit Scatter Technique to dodge the attack at the closest range, then applying the Empty Clarity Fist and Taijiquan to lay the half-dragon on the ground.


If it fails, it’s fatal, but since it succeeded. Now it’s my turn.


“Run away? Don’t make me laugh.”


I climb onto Guhae’s thigh and embrace the thick dragon tail, symbolizing the dragon’s blood flowing through her body.


“Whether in human form or dragon form, it doesn’t matter.”


With one hand gripping the tail to prevent escape, the other hand presses on Guhae’s waist and pelvis.


“I’ll climb on top of you.”


The low baritone and the warmth of the hand felt from the tail.


“Kya! Gyaot!?”


A shiver? An unknown sensation rises from the tailbone.


Ossaaak-!


“Gyao!”


Feeling danger in multiple senses, the half-dragon swings her tail to slap Sima Mantian’s face.


Pang-! Paang-!!


Though the power is reduced by being held by the arm, it’s still a dragon’s tail.


A whip, a mace.


Sima Mantian’s lips split, and blood flows.


But he doesn’t back down.


Licking his split lips, he exerts even more strength.


『Fudo Myo-o’s Step』 – Pressure


Kuu-ung!!


Under the pressure, the half-dragon grits her teeth and turns her head to glare at Sima Mantian.


And she sees.


The greedy, sparkling amber eyes like stars in the night sky.


“I’ll have you, Guhae.”


“Gya… gyao…”


Her mouth opens, her heart races.


Guhae’s reason gradually awakens from the dragon’s blood-induced rampage.


During the invasion of the Blood Church and the Ilwol God Sect, to win against the Ilwol God Sect and the elder, she used the dragon’s power, and for some unknown reason, the dragon’s energy grew stronger.


[Wh-what’s happening? Why is control returning!?]


In Guhae’s mind, the black snake panicked and shouted, but.


It’s inevitable. Guhae likes Sima Mantian.


“…Man, Cheon.”


Her reason somewhat restored, Guhae’s sad blue eyes turn to me, and my heart races.


Leaning over, I support Guhae’s neck and close the distance between our lips.


Sima Mantian and Guhae.


Just before their lips meet.


“…Gyao?”


The half-dragon Guhae caught a whiff.


In the pouring rain, she didn’t notice, but being this close, her sensitive dragon senses picked it up.


The scent of another woman on Sima Mantian.


The scent of Sososo, whom Sima Mantian had hugged and played with for a long time.


“……….”


The half-dragon Guhae’s blue eyes darken like the winter sea.


The dragon’s energy surges again.


Rampage? No. A surge of emotion based on the dragon’s possessive desire.


The half-dragon Guhae is angry.


Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms – Flying Dragon in the Sky


Guhae’s body pushes away the energy pressing down on her and Sima Mantian on top, soaring upward.


Paaat-! Whirl-!


She spins lightly in the air and lands steadily.


The beautiful blue dragon eyes, with a cool light, look straight at Sima Mantian.


“Man, Cheon is… mine.”


To prevent unnecessary internal energy waste, she releases the protective energy covering her body.


And takes a stance.


The rough energy is gone, but it’s more dangerous.


If before it was just the dragon’s energy running wild, now half of Guhae’s reason is mixed in.


But…


What needs to be done is the same.


“That’s right, I’ve built a harem. I’ve built a harem!”


I shamelessly declare to Guhae.


“You too-! I’ll put you in my harem! Cute shark teeth!”


Steeling my resolve, I step forward.
