Hansuke suddenly pulled his fishing rod, and his heart was removed from his body, this magic was Fishing Magic, it could even fish the organs if the aim was perfect. Hansuke felt darkness clouding in front of his eyes and had an apologetic expression on his face as he had a single thought 'Forgive me Rena, Shun… I couldn't stay beside you. Live!!'
~~
After 10 minutes when Hansuke went out of the house, Rena heard the guards fighting someone. She was scared if the guards would be able to hold on until her husband returned. Her fears proved to be true when she saw two unfamiliar men coming inside the house. One guy had a sword while the other guy had a spear.
Their eyes brightened as they saw her, the guy with the spear had a perverted expression on his face as he turned and asked the other guy, "Hohoho...A beauty. Looks like we should have some fun before sacrificing her. Don't you agree, brother?"
There was only a flat expression on his face as he stared at the Blue Haired beauty. He flatly rejected his proposition, "No! Do not forget that we have to kill this village and move to the next one for the sacrifices. We do not have time to waste."
While they were talking, Rena was preparing her Water Spell, Water Bomb. As the Water Bomb formed in front of Rena, she threw it toward the cults. The Water Bomb exploded in the middle of the cult members and splashed all over the place. The two men were not an exception either and were caught in it.
Rena quickly picked up Shun and jumped out of the house. She was planning on leaving the village. Around this point, she sensed both of them to come out of the house.
The guy with the Spear was quite mad at that and threw his Spear towards her, she used her Water Magic to intercept it, but suddenly the Spear multiplied into many spears and hit her.
Shun was miraculously saved as his face was between the two spears that had hit his mother. He glared at the men as his body started to shine brightly and he started to levitate in the sky.
Suddenly, the glowing stopped as he fell down on the ground. This was incredibly mysterious as the two men thought that something would happen to them and were quite cautious. When they felt that nothing was happening, they turned towards each other and exclaimed, "Fucking shit!! Scared me for nothing! I will kill this boy!"
They moved forwards as they suddenly heard a Loud Roar which startled everyone in the village. It was the Roar of a Dragon, the most intimidating beast which was rumoured to have gone extinct from the continent.
Everyone had a single question in their heads 'Dragons are still alive!?'
The Dragon was soon visible for everyone in the village, it was a Large Dragon with Azure Blue Scales that were shining in the sunlight.
It had an intimidating face and figure with a large body. Every single person in the village felt themselves freezing in fear in front of this Dragon. The Dragon loudly asked the question, "Who was the one who had called out for me!?"
Its voice was too much for some cult members, and they staggered back, they didn't want to deal with this dragon. Suddenly, Shun started to cry as he witnessed his mother being critically injured due to being hit by the spears.
He was the only one who wasn't paying attention to the Dragon and was instead of pulling the spears with his full strength, but the spears wouldn't budge.
The Dragon curiously glanced towards that young boy and felt a reliable magic power contained within that boy. It could also feel comfortable and robust magic and a faint glow on his body.
It instinctively knew that the magic that had called out for him was this young boy's magic. It turned towards the two men standing in front of Shun and Rena and simply released its blue breath which turned them to ashes.
Rena slightly turned her head towards the Dragon. She was also intimidated at one of the strongest creatures on the continent. With multiple questions in her head, she opened her mouth and let out, "Dragon-san, I beg you not to kill my son…"
The Dragon spoke in its calm and gruff voice, "So, this child is yours human? I have no intention of eating someone with such little meat on their body. He won't even satisfy sliver of my hunger."
It agreed so quickly because it wasn't like it liked to kill the humans. It looked towards the young shun and ordered him, "Turn towards me, boy!!"
Shun ignored the dragon's orders, right now, he felt that it was more important to pull out the spears from his mother's body than to listen to the rules of some Lizard. The Dragon had a tick mark on its face as it saw a young child completely ignoring its presence.
It thought 'Even that Black Wizard Zeref himself would never dare to ignore my presence and this young boy, not only is he not oppressed by my aura, it is also saving that human from being oppressed by my aura!!?'
It released it's prideful voice once again with a little anger mixed in its sound, "Turn towards me boy!!" Rena could sense the passion in its voice and knew that her son would suffer the consequences if he didn't turn towards the Dragon.
She had a bitter smile on her face as she spoke, "Little Shun, turn towards the Dragon." Shun refused to do so, but she urged him to look towards the Dragon…
After being asked multiple times by his mother, he did turn towards the Dragon and glanced towards it with his Bright and Round Azure Blue Eyes.
He was astonished to see the Dragon, but that was all. He wasn't really scared or intimidated by its presence but curious. After taking a glance at the dragon for one whole minute, he once again turned towards his mother.
The Dragon could feel his magic energy and knew that the boy would most probably die in a year if he couldn't control his magic energy.
It also felt a strange connection with Shun, and a thought entered his mind. Thought of his own Dragon Slayer! His fellow dragons had their own Dragon Slayer, and he also had hope of passing down its own magic, it's own inheritance.
It spoke with its prideful voice, "Human, I have decided to adopt this boy as my son…" Rena was astonished, but she released a weak smile as she let out, "Just take care..." Rena couldn't finish his sentence before she felt strength leaving her body.
Shun froze the very moment his mother stopped speaking. He let out a loud shout, "MOTHER… MOTHER…WAKE UP... AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... "
His loud shout seemed to have reached all corners of the village. He was utterly devastated, and his knees touched the ground.
"Everyone should just die… Kill… Kill everyone responsible for mother's death… Destroy… Destroy them all… Kill them all..."
While Shun was crying, he muttered these words with giant-killing intent. A terrifying rage slipped out of his little body. It was as deep as the depth of the ocean...
The Dragon picked up Shun who started crying at that scene. The Dragon took him to a quiet place which was surrounded by barren mountains with dense forests. Shun wept all the way as he remembered his mother's death…
He felt anger, hurt and broken at this moment. He wanted revenge! He tried to get even with those black-cloaked men! His eyes burned with fury as he remembered that scene. Suddenly, he heard the Dragon's calm voice, "Do not think about revenge… Death is a part of Life. Without Death, it's not life, it's a curse. Your parents' life ended just a little early…"
Shun couldn't comprehend a single word, but he looked around and found himself in an unfamiliar place. Softly muttering, "W-where am I?" Suddenly, the Dragon touched his head, and he fell down asleep while having nightmares about that scene.
The Dragon glanced towards his sleeping expression and had a single thought going in its head 'My time is nearly up, I should only be able to survive for 10 years at the maximum, I have to train this human well enough so that he wouldn't let my legacy die out with him.'
