Chapter 3: The Dragon Hamlet

Satan Almighty, that place is scary-looking as fuck.

The closer we got to the deep valley sandwiched between the towering mountains that looked like the gaping jaw of a terrifying creature, the more I could feel the pressure emanating from it. I knew the sensation. It was the instinctual danger I felt whenever I ran into a particularly dangerous monster in the Demonic Forest.

The force was probably—no, definitely radiating from the dragons, more and more of which were coming into view. An increasing number of them circled the skies, and even from this distance, it was easy to see that they were agitated. Maybe they realized Lefi was approaching.

“Yuki, you are not to leave my side from this point onward. Naught should come to pass, but stay with me in the unlikely event something happens. En, it is our job to protect his hide.”

“Yes... I’ll do my best.”

“Roger that. You’re the expert here, so I’ll leave it to you. Thanks to you too, En.”

Pathetic as it was to admit, I was the weakest one here. So I’d be a good little boy and let Lefi protect me. En too, since I couldn’t fight without her and whatnot. My powerlessness in this situation made me feel empty inside.

With those thoughts in my head and En on my shoulder, I continued flying next to Lefi until we finally reached the front of the valley. She’d said that there wasn’t much here, and now that I was looking at it, yeah, there was a distinct lack of any man-made—or rather dragon-made structures. But the description “sacred mountains” fit the bill perfectly. The sight of an entire ravine being formed by two towering mountains and used as a habitat was impressively overpowering.

In any case, the scale of the valley was absolutely enormous. Caves were hollowed out in the mountains’ cliff faces to make it easier for them to live. They were big enough for dragons to curl up their giant bodies comfortably inside. There were also flat platforms that seemed to be living spaces. Like I’d said, there was a distinct lack of dragon-made artifacts, but there were a bunch of huge pillars and ridiculously high steps built along the cliffs, leading deeper inside. For whatever reason, the overall vibe of the place reminded me of a shrine.

But what really caught my eye was the dragons themselves. Based on what I could see, they numbered around a hundred fifty or so. Despite their keen, intense stares in our direction, none of them was stepping up to come talk to us.

I saw something else in their eyes—dread? Pretty much the same reaction as the dragons in the Demonic Forest, huh? Actually, these guys’ fear might’ve been stronger.

“So this is where you were born, Lefi...”

“Correct. I believe I spent my first six hundred years here. After that, I spent some time traveling with the Spirit Emperor, assisting him with his work. While doing so, I searched for somewhere pleasant I could settle down. Ultimately, about a century ago, I decided on the Demonic Forest.
