I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 114

Chapter 110: The Dragon King’s Blessing

The tall, lanky young man with black hair was clad in shattered armor, covered in blood, dragging his battered body as if he had just endured a fierce battle.

But only those pitch-black eyes burned with an indomitable flame.

The dying Dragon King slowly opened his eyes, his dark golden gaze radiating an overwhelming majesty like the vast firmament, leaving mere mortals in shock.

“Kid, have you come to terms with your fate?”

In some strange way, Roy felt that the Dragon King’s gaze not only fell on Siegfre, but also pierced through endless years to look directly at him.

Siegfre stared into the eyes of the Dragon King, which resembled a dark golden sky, standing tall like a brave warrior facing a headwind, despite his battered body.

“The Evil Dragon is already closing in on the royal capital, and the front lines are collapsing. The princess expelled me from the capital; she said she wanted me to survive.”

“I asked her to escape with me, but she said that as royalty, she must share her people’s fate until the very end…” Siegfre clenched his fists in frustration, his hoarse voice tinged with deep sorrow.

“Perhaps you should listen to her and cherish your hard-won life,” the Dragon King sighed softly.

“With your body, even if you accept this old man’s power…”

Even though the Dragon King didn’t finish his sentence, the meaning was clear.

Whether Siegfre’s body could withstand the demigod’s power was one thing, but even assuming he gained that power, whether he could defeat the Evil Dragon was another unknown.

However, Siegfre lifted his head as if he had already made up his mind, steadfastly gazing into the Dragon King’s eyes and said matter-of-factly, “I promised her I would take her home.”

That was Siegfre’s answer.

A resonance echoed from deep within his bloodline, and Roy understood that it was also his own answer.

The Dragon King’s pupils widened slightly, and then a knowing smile cracked at the corners of his mouth.

That was not the gaze of someone going to their death.

That was the gaze of someone who lived to confront death.

As witnessed, this utterly ordinary young man was never a hero, yet he persisted time and again against the tide for that small wish.

Despite the hardships of the past and the cataclysmic Evil Dragon, cruel fate had never shaken his resolve!

The earth trembled, mountains shook, as the giant dragon slowly rose, unfurling its magnificent wings that nearly blotted out the sky.

Even with its body riddled with wounds, it could not hide the majesty of the ruler of the firmament.

In that moment, even thunder and storms bowed down and crawled before the Dragon King!

“Alright! This old man will assist you one last time!”

The proud roar pierced thunder and echoed in the bone graveyard of dragons.

“I am the leader of dragons, the ephemeral dragon of the mortal world, the king of the skies!”

“I, Dragon King Bahamut, will forge a blood covenant with you, mortal Siegfre, here and now!”

“Do you take on the fate and power of my kin, carrying my blessing for eternity?!”

The black-haired knight gazed up at the Dragon King and gave the answer of a mortal.

“I do!”

The Dragon King extended a giant claw, and Siegfre grasped it without hesitation.

The simultaneous oath echoed across heaven and earth.

“By the blood covenant, I swear! *2”

The mighty king of the skies entrusted all its being to one small mortal as it faced its end.

In the next moment, the sky shuddered.

A shadow of a dark golden dragon rose from the Dragon King’s body, enveloping Siegfre in overwhelming extraordinary power.

The vast power of the Dragon King surged into every inch of Siegfre’s body, wreaking havoc and bringing unbearable agony.

Incredibly, Roy felt the same pain.

It was a pain that spread throughout every corner of his body, even in his soul, almost making him explode.

It hurt so much.

The Dragon King’s power destroyed the small mortal body in an instant, with vessels bursting, flesh dissolving, like a raging storm wreaking havoc within his veins, causing Roy to shed blood tears, nearly losing consciousness from the pain.

But just like the roaring, struggling, yet always unyielding Siegfre, Roy too roared, enduring this unforgettable agony.

Across countless time and space, at this moment, Roy and Siegfre seemed to merge into one, feeling Siegfre’s sorrow, frustration, that small yet profound love, and the determination to challenge fate.

There were no so-called heroes in this world.

Only a mere mortal rising against fate.

For the sake of the promise he made with her, Siegfre could do it—why couldn’t he?!

Even as his consciousness drifted into chaos and he could barely think, the will to protect her became Roy’s strongest support.

In a daze, he seemed to see flickering bright flames in the endless night.

That was his reason for fighting.

He didn’t know how much time had passed before Roy regained consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, he was greeted by the worn walls of the tavern and a serene moonlight.

His ears rang, and his brain was still muddled, causing Roy to take several seconds to realize that the projection of the “Path to Kingship” had ended.

He succeeded!

For a moment, Roy almost thought his soul would be torn apart by the violent power of the Dragon King and would be buried within the projection.

Thankfully, at the last moment, he held on.

This was all thanks to that striking crimson figure amidst the darkness.

Roy looked back at the peacefully sleeping girl, unconsciously breaking into a smile.

Then, he began to nervously check his gains.

Not only had he spent valuable points of opposite fate, but he had also nearly lost his life in the process, so it better have some great rewards!

In the contract between Siegfre and the Dragon King, it clearly stated “to carry the Dragon King’s Blessing for eternity,” so he should have gained that power too!

Just as Roy had expected.

【True Bloodline】: ???

【Dragon King’s Blessing】:

【Dragon Might】: Immune to the pressure from the Seven Great Dragons and unleash pressure just below them.

【Weapon Projection · Dragon Tooth】: Able to craft weapons from the pure blood dragon’s teeth.

【Rift-Cleaving Dragon Claw】: A slash condensed from the dragon claw’s phantom.

【Breaking Void Dragon Tooth】: A stab condensed from the dragon tooth’s phantom.

【Evil Dragon Blood Armor】: Clad in dragon scales, bathed in dragon blood. Greatly enhances physical defense, significantly boosts bodily capabilities. Currently, can be enhanced up to Sequence 7.

Truly an ability gained by spending precious opposite fate points!

Though he still couldn’t fully awaken the true bloodline power, this power had far exceeded Roy’s expectations!

The pureblood dragon’s teeth were enough to surpass 99% of the metal materials in Veszyra, making it top-notch weapon material. When it comes to weapon materials, Dragon Tooth weapons could rival those of the Iron Blood Sequence 6, or even Sequence 5!

The Evil Dragon Blood Armor significantly enhanced his defense and comprehensively improved his overall strength, giving him a fighting chance even against opponents of higher sequences!

The only strange thing to Roy was that it didn’t seem he had to pay any price.
