You’re So Heartless, But I Like It (1)
The young man before it tilted his head, his lips curved, eyes smiling, and face fair and clean.
But for some reason, the dragon-like creature’s heart jumped. It had an inexplicable urge to run.
But the scent was indeed that of an ordinary human.
“This dragon–”
“Oh…” The young man’s voice trailed off slightly. “Dragon?”
Shi An raised his eyes and smiled brightly.
The demonic creature: “…”
Something was wrong. Something was certainly wrong!
A feeling of fear rose from the depths of its soul, urging it to flee.
However, the next moment, the slender young man suddenly released a terrifying pressure like a heavy mountain range pressing directly on its body. Its bones and flesh were soon wailing and every cell in its body was screaming at the top of its lungs to run away. Still, its feet felt like they weighed a thousand pounds, somehow unable to move half a step.
“It is said that dragon scales are indestructible.”
The young man placed his hand lightly on its claw, his soft white fingertips glinting with a sharp silver light, and slashed downward.
The scales on the claw were ripped off hard, splashing blood everywhere.
“AHHH!”
“It’s so pretty.”
Shi An twirled a piece around his fingertips, sizing it under the light.
The next second, his fingers exerted a slight force and the scales were crushed into dust.
The demonic creature: “!!!”
Fuck, this isn’t right!
It couldn’t care less at the moment and turned to flee with a flap of its wings, but before it could take flight, it felt its tail being pulled.
The demonic creature: “…”
Immediately afterward, with a spin, it was yanked back by its black and massive body and crashed heavily into the rubble.
The young man stepped forward over its body and crouched down at its throat.
The creature’s eyes widened in terror and the human’s kind smile was reflected in the depths of its crimson pupils.
He pressed his long, thin fingers against the creature’s mouth and with the force of his fingertips, he pried it open a little.
“It is said that dragons could spew fire.”
Shi An leaned down, gazing at his reflection in the depths of the other’s pupils, and smiled slightly.
“Since you are a dragon, you should be able to do that, right?”
He tapped his knuckles against the creature’s teeth and withdrew his evil aura. “Come, spew one for me to see.”
At the same time, the creature found that the horrible weight weighing down on it had disappeared. It could move again.
A fierce look passed through its eyes.
So what if the opposite side might be stronger? After all, it was still a human!
It had a chance to win from this proximity!
A blazing red color emerged near its throat and its throat flared with fire. In the next instant, blazing flames erupted from its mouth! The air was distorted under the influence of the heat.
No being can survive such an onslaught of flames.
Turn you into charcoal, you mere ants!
A glimpse of joy passed through the demonic creature’s eyes.
Suddenly, a slender white hand reached out from the flames in front of him without warning and grabbed the creature’s throat.
“!!!”
The creature’s eyes bulged, the throat beneath its scales squirmed twice, and the flames that had not yet finished spewing from its mouth were forcefully pressed back.
The flames disappeared.
The young man sat down on his knees, eyes downcast, and smiled pleasantly. “Ah, you could do it unexpectedly.”
The creature was truly panicking now.
What kind of monster was this? How could its attacks be completely ineffective?
This was clearly… an authentic dragon flame!
“But… to attack me with my fire…” Shi An lowered his eyes and leaned closer, his smile gentle and harmless, crimson flames of light swirling under his eyes, wrapped in a devouring hostility. “Do you think it will be useful?”
The demonic creature: “…”
It froze in place.
What?
W-Was it hearing things? How could…?!
“How about I teach you how to use it?” Shi An asked in a whisper.
A cluster of orange-yellow flames rose from the young man’s slender white fingertips, burning silently in the darkness around them, the horrific aura released from them being palpable even without getting so close.
… Yes.
Right!
The demonic creature widened its eyes and revealed a hard-to-believe look.
In the next second, Shi An felt the massive body beneath him suddenly disappear. He was caught off guard and widened his eyes slightly as he was thrown to the ground.
It hurt!
Shi An furrowed his brow as tears welled up under his eyes.
He looked up angrily.
All he saw was a round dark red eyeball, the size of a ping-pong ball, in the clearing before him, with two thin legs and two thin hands growing out from it.
It went down on its knees in a poof, threw its two thin hands, and crawled on the ground.
“Lord dragon!”
Shi An: “…”
Was it his illusion? He felt a little disgusted.
The Eye approached ingratiatingly. “Lord dragon! Don’t you remember me?”
A small suspicious blush flushed upon its face.
“You once did that, that kind of thing to me…”
Shi An took a slow step back. “…”
It wasn’t an illusion.
“You are the first being I saw since I was conscious! So powerful, beautiful, and dazzling!” The Eye exclaimed in an aria-like tone. “From the first time I saw you, your beauty has fulfilled me. I am so happy that I am about to burst!”
Shi An: “…”
I remember that you did burst.
Burst in a physical sense.
“But your beauty let me survive and hold on until I reached this abyssal rift! After swallowing that ignorant and stupid Eye of the Abyss, I could finally get a physical form. As you are so magnificent and enchanting, I have chosen to take on your form to show my love for you!”
Teardrops slipped from the Eye of the Abyss.
It reached out and tugged at the corner of Shi An’s coat, wiping its tears. “Unexpectedly, I was able to see you again! Please accept my confession and allow me to serve you by your side, becoming your slave! You can do anything to me as you please!”
A blush once again spread across the Eye’s face.
