Chapter 59
A clear voice echoes across the charred battlefield.
“I, too… have lived by consuming lives… to sustain this massive body…”
Huu… huu… Its labored breaths reach me.
“But… I ask one promise of you…”
After a deep exhale, the Dragon King speaks.
“In my stead… bring peace… to this land…”
Its voice, once powerful enough to shake the air, grows weaker.
“Let all things… follow the natural order… I beg of you…”
“Sorry, but I can’t promise that right away.”
The Dragon King’s eyes snap open, and Myu hops in surprise.
“Sora! Mean!”
Myu bounces against my legs in protest. I soothe her and pick her up, meeting the Dragon King’s gaze.
“First, I owe you an apology. I watched your battle without intervening.”
“Why… apologize…?”
“Because I had a goal.”
Steeling myself, I take a step forward.
“I can save your life. But only if you become my ally.”
The [Resonance] skill, derived from the Wolf Commander’s magic stone, creates an Oath Collar—a contract that strengthens those bound by it. It’s why Myu can speak so fluently now. The Dragon King would be no exception. If its HP rises enough, it could recover even from the brink of death.
