EP.61 Dragon and Dungeon – 7 

“…This should be enough.” 

After thoroughly satisfying his lust, Yujin looked at Leia. 

She was lying face-down on the floor, her hips still raised. 

“Haa… haa…” 

She was breathing heavily in silence, clearly exhausted. 

It was no wonder-she had climaxed more than ten times and even fainted a few times in between. 

“Thanks to this, I think we have a real chance against that Keltron bastard.” 

His entire body was overflowing with power and mana. 

As expected of a dragon, a symbol of strength, the effect gained from his trait was tremendous. 

He looked at his palm and clenched his fist as hard as he could. 

He could feel a power flowing through him that was incomparable to before. 

With this, even creating multiple giant sword beams wouldn’t be a problem. 

He should even be able to withstand a direct hit from a powerful dragon breath, as long as it wasn’t straight on. 

“You seem really tired-should we rest a bit before going?” 

“Haa… No…” 

Leia struggled to her feet and began chanting a spell. 

It was a healing magic he’d seen her use once before. 

A faint light wrapped around her body, and in an instant, almost all traces of exhaustion vanished. 

As expected of a dragon. 

Physical fatigue seemed to be no problem for her at all. 

“Amazing.” 

“Let’s just hurry up and finish off that thing.” 

Leia’s face was still flushed. 

With a sly grin, Yujin grabbed her voluptuous buttocks. 

The soft, overflowing sensation in his hands was exquisite. 

Leia, her body still not fully cooled down, let out a sweet moan. 

“Hnnngh…!” 

Her body twitched every time he roughly kneaded her firm, bouncy butt. 

Each time, the cum he had just filled her with oozed lewdly from her petals. 

“Hnnngh…♥ Haa… Let’s save this for later…” 

Even though he hadn’t said anything, the way she looked forward to next time made Yujin smile naturally. 

It was proof that the pleasure engraved deep in her body and mind was too intense for it to end with just this one time. 

“Let’s do it again after we take care of that thing.” 

As much as he was lost in lust, this was still enemy territory. 

There was nothing good about staying here for long. 

When they returned to where Keltron had been, the door was still open just as Leia had left it. 

“This is… unexpected. I thought you’d keep hiding in the dungeon like a rat.” 

Keltron spoke in a cold voice. 

Ignoring his words, Yujin examined his body. 

Fortunately, he hadn’t been able to regenerate his severed tail-the wound was still there. 

“Don’t worry. I’ll end you soon enough.” 

As they exchanged fierce glares, Keltron’s gaze turned to Yujin for the first time. 

Those unpleasant yellow eyes and sharp pupils. 

With his tail gone, Keltron was that much more wary. 

“Looks like the arrogant little bug has returned too. I’ll make sure to chew you up alive.” 

A nasty pressure filled the air. 

Even in death, Keltron’s pride as a dragon was clear-he was furious. 

In the past, Yujin would have been drenched in cold sweat by now. 

But with his newfound strength, he could handle it. 

“Getting bitten by a bug hurts a bit. I’ll make it hurt even more this time.” 

He met Keltron’s curse-filled gaze. 

No matter how impressive he was, Keltron was a dead dragon now. 

He was nothing compared to his prime, and Yujin had even slept with a dragon. 

“So the rat came back with his bug friend, huh.” 

Unlike before, Keltron didn’t let his guard down around Yujin. 

It wouldn’t be easy, but it wasn’t hopeless. 

He’d already proven he could cut Keltron’s body. 

A zombie dragon’s defenses weren’t as strong as expected. 

“I’d trust a moving corpse over a stinking lizard like you.” 

Whether the taunt worked or not, Keltron quickly stood up and spread his wings wide. 

“Stop whining and come at me, rat and bug.” 

Almost at the same time, Leia transformed into her dragon form amid a burst of flames. 

Her vibrant body still bore the black scars from the last breath attack. 

“No need to say it. I was planning on it, corpse.” 

Dragging things out wouldn’t be good. 

Leia couldn’t recover much inside the barrier, so she didn’t have much stamina left. 

While Leia slowly approached Keltron head-on, Yujin circled around to his side. 

His steps were lighter and faster than before, the wind seeming to rush past as if he were folding space itself. 

“You pathetic bug!” 

Keltron’s head turned to look right at Yujin. 

His mouth opened wide, and a blast of black breath shot out. 

A cursed breath that rotted everything it touched. 

A direct hit would mean instant death. 

Yujin focused as much mana as possible into his legs to boost his speed. 

Rumble- 

With a nasty sound, the stone where Yujin had just been standing melted away. 

The old Yujin would have been reduced to bones and goo by now. 

The sight made his survival instincts push his legs even faster. 

He managed to dodge the direct hit, but as Keltron’s head moved, so did the breath. 

Just as the attack was about to catch up, Leia’s breath struck Keltron’s body. 

“Looks like you forgot about me.” 

Fwoosh-! 

A disgusting smell instantly filled the space. 

The scent of rotting flesh burning was enough to make anyone wrinkle their nose. 

But getting close to Keltron was more important. 

“Arrogant fools who are about to die!” 

Keltron, unable to feel pain, didn’t care about his wounds. 

He was more upset about not catching Yujin and roared so loudly the dungeon shook. 

But no matter how little pain he felt, he couldn’t keep taking dragon breaths. 

He turned his head and countered Leia’s breath with his own. 

“I’ll tear your corpses apart soon!” 

He was clearly furious. 

He’d even forgotten about presenting Leia’s corpse to the Demon King. 

Before he knew it, Yujin was just a few steps away. 

Keltron glanced at him now and then but couldn’t ignore Leia. 

Taking advantage of the moment Keltron wasn’t looking, Yujin channeled mana into his feet and legs and leapt. 

Leap! 

He jumped at least several dozen meters high-higher than Keltron’s massive head. 

Keltron didn’t notice at all. 

Gripping Hrunting’s hilt tightly, Yujin poured all his mana into it. 

A massive blue sword aura burst from the blade. 

“I’ll split you in half.” 

He swung the blade down, slashing with the giant sword aura. 

Sliiiiice-! 

Keltron’s body was cut vertically from the back of his head down his spine. 

As the sword aura reached the ground, a tremendous sound echoed. 

“How dare a bug like you!!!” 

The roar was deafening. 

Unfortunately, it wasn’t a clean kill-he hadn’t managed to cut Keltron completely in half. 

Still, the deep cut along his back left Keltron unable to move. 

If not a “half kill,” it was at least a “back kill.” 

“Told you to be careful.” 

A normal creature would have died from such a wound. 

Keltron was only still alive because he was a zombie. 

But if he moved wrong, the wound would split and he’d be cut in half for real. 

“I’ll leave the finishing blow to you.” 

Keltron’s face was twisted in agony. 

There was no escaping defeat. 

As Leia’s flames engulfed his body, Keltron let out a final scream. 

“Demon King…!” 

The all-consuming fire instantly burned up the helpless zombie dragon. 

His vast body burned away, smoke rising. 

The foul stench was gone, replaced only by the smell of smoke. 

Crackle-crackle- 

A few minutes later, all that was left of Keltron was a pile of giant bones turned to ash. 

“If not for you, I’d have ended up like that too. You have my thanks.” 

Looking to the side, Yujin saw Leia had returned to her human form. 

“No need to mention it. But what about the barrier?” 

“It’s already been lifted-Keltron must have been one of its core elements. But more importantly, I have a proposal for you.” 

“A proposal?” 

“I want to contract you as my Dragon Knight.” 

Dragon Knight. 

It means something a little different from a knight in the human world. 

It’s a title only given to humans recognized by a dragon. 

For a proud dragon like Leia, it meant accepting Yujin as an equal. 

“You mean I’m free from being a slave?” 

“That’s right.” 

Leia nodded seriously. 

She seemed to truly mean it. 

“I’d be happy to.” 

Finally, freedom from slavery. 

It had been a short time, or maybe a long one, but his original goal was almost achieved. 

He’d destroyed one of the Demon King’s bases and, even if it was a zombie, defeated a dragon. 

As achievements go, it was perfect. 

And he’d even managed to deal a blow to the Demon King, so it was a double win. 

“Even if it was just a revived corpse, your courage and skill in defeating a dragon are more than enough for a Dragon Knight.” 

She was right. 

He still couldn’t beat her yet, but he’d proven he was strong enough to be a real threat. 

“If we’re equals now, you’ll grant me a favor, right?” 

His eyes naturally wandered to Leia’s alluring figure. 

She blushed at his bold gaze but nodded. 

“…If it’s a favor… I suppose I have no choice.”
