"You are..."
Evan looked at the strong man in front of him who was emitting a terrifying aura, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"This is the great dragon devourer, Rogue Cheney!"
Without waiting for the strong man to speak, Sting Eucliffe, who had been standing by the strong man's side, introduced the identity of the strong man who had been tortured by the pain of battle to Evan.
Yes, the moment Evan transformed into the Azure Dragon, Sting Eucliffe knew that 'Sword Saint Dragon' Kurnugi was no match for Evan, so he immediately contacted his old Rogue Cheney!
When Rogue Cheney heard that the mage from ishgar, who seemed to have transformed into a dragon, had appeared, he immediately rushed to the Magic Council.
Therefore, there was this scene in front of him...
"So what do you want to do?"
Evan looked at Rogue Cheney with a calm expression. To be honest, after Evan heard that someone had successfully killed the giant dragon, he was a little worried about the other party. However, after seeing Rogue Cheney's state, Evan was not so worried.
"Kid, kill the dragon beside you and devour his flesh. Then join us!"
Rogue Cheney looked at Evan with a crazed expression. He only glanced at Kurnugi slightly and made Kurnugi tremble in fear.
"This guy is very terrifying!"
Kurnugi's body trembled involuntarily. Unlike Evan, Rogue Cheney's strength was directly shown on the surface. It seemed that in order to show his strength, Rogue Cheney did not restrain any of his momentum. Just like that, he displayed his brutal side in front of everyone.
This made the young Kurnugi extremely afraid because he could clearly smell the smell of blood all over Rogue Cheney's body. It was the smell of dragon blood, and there was more than one. In other words, Rogue Cheney had killed more than one dragon and bathed in countless dragon blood.
Just as Kurnugi was shivering and looking at Rogue Cheney with fear in his eyes, Evan pressed his hand on Kurnugi's shoulder.
"Eh?"
When Kurnugi felt the warmth of Evan's palm, his panicked heart suddenly calmed down.
""... "
Kurnugi raised his head and saw Evan's smile. In an instant, the fear in his heart was swept away. He still had a master!
"Please allow me to refuse. I don't want to join you."
After placating Kurnugi, Evan looked at Rogue Cheney and directly rejected the other party's invitation.
"Is that so? That's really a pity. I thought that there would soon be a dragon devourer that surpassed me in this world!"
After listening to Evan's words, there was a trace of pity in Rogue Cheney's expression.
"Since that's the case, then hand over the dragon behind you!"
After Evan gave up on joining Rogue Cheney's dragon devouring organization, Rogue Cheney no longer insisted. He turned to look at Kurnugi who was protected behind Evan.
"Hehe, I won't hand Kurnugi over to you."
Evan smiled lightly after listening to Rogue Cheney.
"Oh As a human, are you planning to protect a giant dragon?"
After listening to Evan's words, Rogue Cheney frowned and looked at Evan angrily.
"You misunderstand, I mean, Kurnugi is my reserve food! I don't intend to share Kurnugi with the rest of you..."
"He is my prey and can only be eaten by me. I don't object if you want to eat dragons, but please hunt for yourself and don't steal my prey. We are both mages of the Dragon Slayers, so we should abide by some rules, right?"
Evan smiled at Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney, who was beside Sting Eucliffe.
"Eh?"
Kurnugi, who was hiding behind Evan and feeling the warmth of Evan, gradually calmed down. After listening to Evan's words, he immediately panicked, so could he still not escape the fate of being eaten?
For a moment, Kurnugi's eyes were red and there were tears in his eyes. He suddenly missed his mother. Sure enough, he should not take advantage of the time when his mother had important things to do and sneak out of the house because of gluttony.
"You brat..."
After listening to Evan, Rogue Cheney narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Evan with a judgmental gaze.
"Boss Rogue Cheney, don't be fooled by this brat. He just wants to protect the dragon behind him!"
Sting Eucliffe, who had been standing behind Rogue Cheney, suddenly interrupted.
"Huh?"
Evan, who had been looking at Rogue Cheney, heard Sting Eucliffe's words, and a trace of anger flashed in his heart. His eyes immediately burst out with a powerful Haki.
"Eh..."
Originally, Sting Eucliffe, who was standing behind Rogue Cheney and thought that there was someone behind him, became complacent. He suddenly panicked and sweated profusely. In just a moment, it seemed that Evan in front of him had disappeared. Instead, it was a huge green dragon that was lying in front of him and preparing to swallow him. This made Sting Eucliffe's heart waver greatly.
"Humph..."
Rogue Cheney, who had been silent all this time, seemed to notice Evan's action. He protected Sting Eucliffe behind him and blocked Evan's domineering aura for Sting Eucliffe.
"What a powerful aura, this kid..."
At the same time, Rogue Cheney frowned. Judging from Evan's imposing manner, even he would find it difficult to take down Evan. However, when dealing with Evan, he had to strictly guard against a young dragon. At the same time, he also had to protect Sting Eucliffe. This was very disadvantageous to him.
"Hahaha..."
Thinking of this, Rogue Cheney laughed loudly.
"Of course I will abide by the rules. Since Kurnugi is your prey, I naturally will not overstep. After all, we are both mentors of the Dragon Slayers. We need some rules."
Rogue Cheney said this and ignored Evan and Kurnugi. He brought Sting Eucliffe to the table opposite Evan and sat down facing Evan.
As for the person who was sitting opposite Evan, after seeing Rogue Cheney, he tactfully moved out of the way.
"Hu..."
Evan looked at Rogue Cheney who did not choose to make a move and sighed in relief. It seemed that he had scared the other party. The other party probably did not expect that he had a skill to increase his momentum.
With his current Haoshoku, he would be the only one left in the conference room in an instant.
"Alright, the enemy is temporarily forced back by me. Follow me closely from now on..."
After Evan saw that Rogue Cheney had retreated, he turned around and looked at Kurnugi behind him.
Then Evan saw Kuchi looking at Evan with snot and tears. He said with a tearful voice, "Master, don't eat me! My meat doesn't taste good..."
"Huh?"
"Who said I want to eat you?"
Evan was speechless as she looked at Kurnugi.
"But didn't you just say that I was your prey?"
Kurnugi asked after listening to Evan.
"No?" I was deceiving the enemy, but the enemy was not deceived by me. How did you get tricked by me? Are you an idiot? "
Evan was speechless after hearing Kurnugi's words. He was giving Rogue Cheney and the others an excuse, but Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney did not fall for it. Instead, the idiot he protected was fooled. Where could he explain it?
"Master, is what you said true?"
After Kurnugi heard Evan's words, his expression carried a bit of joy.
"Of course, as the Dragon Slayer, I am both human and dragon. I have no habit of eating the same kind."
Evan sighed and nodded slightly.
"I knew you wouldn't eat me..."
Kurnugi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Evan's words. At the same time, he hugged Evan's thigh.
"Ah, it's so disgusting..."
Evan looked at the thing that had rubbed against his clothes. While cleaning himself, he pushed Kurnugi away. Probably because Kurnugi was still a child, it was a little sticky and sticky in various sense.
"In short, don't run around blindly. Although you were deceived by me, those two guys didn't believe me at all. In other words, they will still treat you as a target..."
Evan patted Kurnugi's small head and educated him.
"I understand..."
Kurnugi nodded slightly after hearing Evan's words.
"If you can understand what I'm saying, then that would be the best..." Evan sighed. He had no confidence in the intelligence of Kurnugi, so he added, "In short, you have to remember that the enemy is an existence that I can't deal with. So if there is a direct conflict between us, I will stall the enemy. And your mission is to run as hard as you can, flap your little wings, and run as far as you can. When I get rid of the enemy, I will find you."
To be honest, Evan had no confidence in dealing with Kurnugi at all. Although Kurnugi had many old injuries, he was the one who killed the adult dragon...
However, Evan was not afraid of Kurnugi. Using the ability of the Glint Devil Fruit, he could not beat him, but could he not show off?
If he wanted to escape, Kurnugi could not stop him.
That was why Evan told Kurnugi that if there was an unavoidable conflict between them and Kurnugi, he would let Kurnugi run away quickly, and the rest would be up to Evan to think of a way to deal with.
"Master, don't be afraid! If my mother were to do something like that, he could smash him to pieces with a slap!"
After listening to Evan's words, Kurnugi felt warm in his heart. At the same time, he clenched his fists and said to Evan.
"Is that so? Who is your mother?"
Evan asked casually after listening to Kurnugi's words. He had heard Kurnugi mention his mother more than ten times, so he was also curious about who her mother was.
"My mother is called Selene. Have you heard of her?"
Oh, by the way, the people on this continent usually call my mother
Kurnugi scratched his cheek. After thinking about it, he told Evan about his mother's name.
"Huh?" This time, it was Evan's turn to be surprised. He frowned as he looked at Kurnugi and asked, "What do you think your mother's name is?"
"My mother is called Selene!"
Kurnugi thought Evan did not hear him clearly, so he repeated his mother's name clearly.
"It's not that name. I mean, how should I address your mother in this continent?"
Evan shook his head. What he wanted was not Kurnugi's mother's name. What he wanted was the title of Kurnugi's mother.
"Moon Dragon God!"
Kurnugi blinked his big watery eyes and looked at Evan.
"This guy is the Moon Dragon God's son?"
After Evan confirmed that Kurnugi didn't seem to be lying, she felt that her brain was in a mess.
