Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

As I am about to finish the dragon, the dragon suddenly bawled out and forced itself to become my servant without my consent. But those were all the orders of a certain person.

“That person…?” I voiced the words that gave me the most confusion.

“I AM SORRY, BUT I WAS FORBIDDEN BY THAT PERSON TO SPELL A THING ABOUT THAT PERSON’S IDENTITY.”

(Not even the gender?) I thought about it but stopped myself since it was not going to be answered anyway.

“But what if you disobey the orders of that person?”

“HM. IF THAT IS THE CASE, THE WHOLE EXISTENCE WOULD SEND TO AN ETERNAL HELL.”

“That so?”

I have no idea what it meant, but the way the dragon said it, hell must be frighteningly terrifying. Its whole existence must include its soul, and it would be eternal. I could not imagine being punished for all of eternity.

From what I have understood so far, the dragon seemed to be following the orders of a certain someone. That person might be the one who communicated with the dragon earlier, though I severed that connection a while ago.

So who could this person be? A person who is so powerful that this person could put this powerful, immortal dragon into complete submission. That means this person has the ability to overcome the dragon’s Immortal.

But the real question is:

“What does this person have to do with me?”

“I DO NOT HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT THAT. BUT THAT PERSON SAID THAT I WOULD BE THAT PERSON’S GIFT FOR YOU. I AM JUST FOLLOWING WHAT THAT PERSON’S WANTS.”

I don’t remember someone I have accounts with or someone I have given a hand to, except for the fox who had returned earlier, so there’s no reason why that person has to gift me a dragon, right?

“But why you?”

“WELL, AMONG ALL THE AVAILABLE ANCIENT DRAGONS, I AM THE NEAREST ONE TO YOUR ABODE; IS THAT WHAT THAT PERSON SAID.”

“Is that so?”

The mysterious person had given me a servant without knowing why. Perhaps that person was looking for something in exchange? If that were the case, I would not really know if I had something to pay.

Speaking of dragons, there was this mysterious attacker of mine that I encountered a few months ago. This attacker, along with its pet, an Amphiptere, forced me to resort to using one of my trump cards. ｎｏｖ𝚕．𝚌ｏｍ

This brought me to the idea that these two people could be the same person, or perhaps not. I don’t know. Well, I have to think about that later and focus on the present.

I glanced over at the severely damaged dragon, then walked toward it. Since this dragon has become my subject, I don’t have the will to hurt its master.

“So, did you attack us because the fox had stepped on your territory?”

“YES. ALSO TO RELEASE MY PENT-UP STRESS BECAUSE OF ALL THE THINGS THAT PERSON HAD DONE TO ME.”

This dragon was really stressed out. That person must have frustrated the dragon to the point where it literally exploded, akin to a nuclear bomb.

“Now then… What should I do with you?”

“YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO WITH ME. YOU CAN EVEN KILL ME IF YOU DESIRE WEALTH AND GLORY.”

“Aren’t you tasked to serve me?”

“THAT IS RIGHT. BUT IF YOU WERE TO KILL ME, THAT PERSON WON’T PUNISH ME SINCE THAT WOULD BE YOUR WILL.”

“So you choose death over the punishment?”

“YES. BY DOING THAT, MY SOUL WOULD REST PEACEFULLY.”

Is the punishment really that terrifying, even for the fearless ancient dragon, to the point it would rather choose death? That person must be a frighteningly powerful being.

“SO, WHAT WILL BE YOUR JUDGMENT?”

“Hmm…”

What should I do with this dragon, anyway? It is basically a suspicious gift from someone for me, and I have to think about it deeply and thoroughly.

First off, that person the dragon greatly feared. I haven’t met this person, so I have no idea what this person’s intentions are. Whether they are good or not, receiving something big like this dragon is not a matter to sweat off.

I don’t need money anyway, and I don’t want to stand out either. Actually, killing the dragon would be a waste for some reasons, but I cannot let this dragon loose either.

But having an apex monster to serve before me would certainly and undeniably bring unfathomable benefits to me in terms of the dungeon and manpower.

As the sovereign of this vast and dangerous forest, the Ancient Dragon of Darkness gains complete dominance over this land. If I happened to become its master, the authority of the forest would be mine as well.

The dragon could be used as a scarecrow or gargoyle statue to guard the forest and the dungeon. But if I were to bless it with a certain skill, this dragon would definitely become more useful for myself.

The sun is about to set, and I had already passed the curfew. I have yet to decide what to do with this massive dragon.

My mothers probably won’t mind me being late for several minutes. Moreover, I had gained my own authority over them, so I could decide for myself as well.

“Okay. I have decided.” I started walking and drew myself closer to the dragon, then placed my palm on the tip of its snout.

Too bad, it was kind of sad since I did not have a chance to use the literal game changer and broken Pride of the Overlord of Sins ultra skill. Well, it doesn’t matter since I will have an ancient dragon under my command.

“Phew.” I exhaled a long breath and stared at the dragon with one of its amber eyes. “From now on, you will be my second tamed monster.”

“AS YOU WISH, MY MASTER.”

For that person who gifted me this destructive weapon of mass destruction, I don’t know who you are, but I appreciate your present.
