Chereads / One Slash System / Chapter 6 - Staring contest

Chapter 6 - Staring contest

Currently, there was a massive komodo-looking lizard with big feet and wings.

It has an intelligent look on its face and is currently releasing invisible pressure.

'Are you sure he is not a human?'

Using telepathy between them, the teen in school uniform was eyeing the dragon beside him while his attention was on the beggar.

'Yes, I'm sure that this one is not a human. He is not from here; there's a chance he is a nightmare creature from the nightmare realm.'

The scales of winged giant-footed komodo-looking lizards became hardened and slightly opened.

He is preparing for an attack.

'Wait.'

The teen in a school uniform had his palm gesture to stop his familiar.

'Let's not jump to conclusions.'

He said to the dragon beside him, using telepathy.

He found it weird, too. In his player mode, the person has an unknown human tag.

Which is peculiar. He has a regressor title, so if he meets a creature he recognises, the system will tell him what and who that is.

However, the beggar was unknown.

Someone he didn't meet or didn't know, yet he is still a human.

Adding the fact about that dangerous slash that he had never witnessed in his previous life.

Such a majestic slash or sword style. He didn't know if that was even real.

Even the ten thousand apocalypses online player mode responded that this is a martial art technique.

Swordsmanship.

If the beggar is genuinely one of those nightmare creatures, he shouldn't be able to use a martial art only used for humans.

The black komodo dragon gave the teen in the school uniform a glance.

'I know most nightmare creatures don't use martial arts.'

The dragon could feel and was sure that he was right.

'However, are you sure that not all nightmare creatures can use martial arts?'

The dragon asked.

The scent, the danger, and the mystery of the beggar were making his soul tremble.

The facial expression of the teen in a school uniform's brow furrowed. 

He became wary because he clenched his fist.

'You are right.'

He agreed.

Tattoos appeared again all over his skin. Then his eyes became dark like a demon.

Ding!

[ The player used a forbidden dark connotation. ]

"Let's investigate him."

To him, a martial artist's nightmare creature was something he should not underestimate.

Killing the protein in one slash?

It should be slower even if they are in the same power order.

On the other hand, Slyon had his mouth wide open to the teen in a school uniform.

'Is this for real?'

Slyon said.

He wanted to be calm, yet after having his eyes cleaned a lot of times, he was sure that it was what he thought it was.

'A transformation!?'

Slyon wanted to scream, shout and let it all out, yet he remained calm.

However, his mind cannot contain the pulse of his heart. 

Memories flash in his eyes.

Heroes are about to be defeated by a white homosexual brutal xenomorph transformed into a yellow-haired aura dude.

In the novel that Slyon read, the coiling serpent, the main character, transforms into a dragon.

In the anime, a person who wants to be the leader of a ninja village has a demon fox inside his body.

They all have these transformations Slyon desires to experience, just like this tattooed person in front of him.

'Will I experience that too?'

Slyon's eyes became dreamy.

Seeing himself become a tattooed master and even more powerful, he felt ecstatic.

All of a sudden, he woke up from a growl.

"Hey! Are you here to stop us!?"

The dragon spoke with a deep voice. 

It feels like it wanted to gauge its intestine out of his stomach and sounds like a truck's engine.

Slyon almost had a heart attack.

His eyes wandered into every part of the dragon's body.

Claws, fangs, scales, wings, head, etc.

'Such a beauty that even I am unsure if words could describe this majesty before me.'

Slyon thought to himself.

He was in awe. As a human, his first thought was to pet it.

However, knowing that it's an intelligent and dangerous animal, he chooses to calm down.

The dragon felt weird.

Growl!

Standing on two legs, the black komodo dragon extended its wings to make himself look big and threatened to make whatever he felt.

Slyon knew it was a gesture of hostility.

However, currently, his ears felt like clapping.

Somehow his mind dreamt of this creature being soaked in vegetables.

When he was a child, he would catch a variety of creatures in the forest.

One of them was a wild monitor lizard.

They are always tasty, especially if cooked with coconut milk, hot chilli, and seasonings.

Such a weird way of thinking.

Growl!

As if the dragon felt his gaze, its posture changed into a defensive stance, staring at Slyon.

This made the dragon look more tempting than Slyon and made him salivate more from its sheer look.

'I must calm myself. If this one attacks me, I'll die if I drop my slashing weapon.'

He gripped the knife tightly to make sure it was there.

Slyon never thought there was something like this on this planet, which is similar to earth.

It has a large head, long neck, broad shoulders, thick legs, rigid tail, and distinct gigantic bat-like wings. 

Its jaws are big with razor-sharp teeth. 

A reptilian lizard-like animal with scales covering its body and pointy horns on its head.

A fantasy creature.

A real fantasy creature!

It was also before him, and his first thought was to kill and cook it.

"How did you get that?"

Slyon asked.

Pointing his finger at the dragon.

Seeing his gesture, the teen in school uniform grumbled.

'So he is not a human.''

He assumed and concluded.

When a human witnesses a beast rider, the rider would receive a notification from the ten thousand world apocalypse online system.

A message asking them if the riders would teach the human to become a rider too.

It's humanity's bloodline, called the bloodline memory.

The teen in a school uniform did not receive a notification.

So he assumed a defensive stance.

Sweat trickles on his forehead while his feet, arms, and head are heavy.

The teen in a high school uniform can also feel the uneasiness of his mighty dragon summons.

He understood what his dragon was feeling.

The teen in school uniform knew that what they witnessed earlier was no joke.

A heavy sword aura or sword intent on the slash that killed the protein rabbit easily is not something they would just put aside.

That's why they hesitate to move first.

"Oh, come on, I get it that I was a little pushy there, but I am not the one to blame entirely."

Slyon raised both his hands in the air.

Warm and cosy air embraced him.

However, he still tightly holds his rusty knife in his right hand.

Majesty is what he can describe as a dragon. It might be majestic in his eyes, yet it's showing hostility towards him.

Those who show hostility?

Something he needs to look out for.

"I could not understand people around me, like a dog barking for food, but their owner took them outside instead."

His eyes look like he suffered a lot from the world's cruelty.

However, the teen in the school uniform did not buy that.

To him, it was a sign of aggressive manipulation.

"Only you did."

Slyon said.

Inside, he contemplated what to do to the dragon before him.

'It is intelligent and can talk.'

Slyon's eyes wandered at his wrist first and then at his rusty knife.

'Do I need to kill these large, intelligent dreams of mine?'

Slyon thought as he was thinking of letting go, finding where they live, and watching how they live.

Not all the reincarnated individuals wanted to become invincible, not all wanted a family, not all wanted peace, not all wanted destruction, not all wanted to show their powers to the weak, etc.

Slyon is a simple person who just wants to watch creatures in their natural habitat.

How they live, how they love, how they view the world, etc.

'He is dangerous, doesn't answer. He is in 11th order already despite being so young.'

The black dragon mumbled to the teen in a high school uniform via telepathy.

'I know, yet he didn't attack us and not show hostility against us.'

The teen in a high school uniform replied.

Suddenly, beggar Sylon's warm smile…

Somehow, the two of them felt the air had become cold.

The scales of the dragon were pulsing, synchronising with the heartbeat of the teen in a school uniform.

They are thinking of merging to compensate for the threat to their soul was both feelings.

'He didn't sound like he was lying, yet he is so relaxed even though he is just in the 11th order, and his confidence was too peculiar.'

The black dragon said to the teen in a high school uniform's head.

'Yes.'

The teen in a high school uniform nodded.

All of a sudden, something caught their eyes!

It was a truck coming onto where Slyon was.

It was fast that the teen in a high school uniform, the dragon beside him, and Slyon could not react.

Bang!

Slyon was hit by the truck. 

It didn't stop until it hit a giant tree that was bigger and wider than the truck.

Kaboom!

The tree looks like a heavy object that even the tree itself is almost caved in despite its thickness.

After a few seconds, the engine of the truck stopped.

The door on the truck crackles.

When it opens, a man in black comes out.

He made sure to put his feet on the ground and land gently.

He had sunglasses on. 

He took them out of his eyes and looked at the front of the truck.

When he saw his left hand of Slyon hanging, he smiled.

"I never thought that young master would survive despite being poisoned. Now you are living in the street alone; however, this is the end of your short life."
