Chapter 237: Evil dragon trial and mermaid<hr>


    I opened my eyes and found myself in a world of darkness. The only thing I could recognize was my own body. Everything else is pitch ck.


    The first thing I did was to feel the ground. I couldn''t see anything, but I could feel it, so it must be a world where there was ground or something simr.


    In that world, I felt an intense killing sensation and when I looked, I saw two crimson eyes above me. Its existence ims to be.


    My name is the Evil Dragon King. I am the dragon who controls the evil of the world


    Ah, a murderous old man character...I dont have a good feeling at all.


    HuooHuoo. I''m sure you can guess. Then let''s begin your trial


    When the Evil Dragon King said that, a child with a dead-eyed sword appeared in front of me. This child could also be seen in the dark world. It wasn''t my childhood, but I could understand why he could recreate my childhood.


    Your evil...surpass it with your strength


    When the Evil Dragon King said this, the child came at me with a sh. Wait a minute, I don''t even hold a weapon!?


    I stop the child''s sword with a white de and kick him. The child easily lets go of his sword, guards my kick with his hand, grabs my leg and tries to bite me. I throw away the child''s sword and try to punch him away, but he ducks and opens up a distance.


    The sword reappears in the child''s hand. Is this like the same imagined weapon that appeared with the Holy Bright Dragon King? If so, I''ll imagine it too.


    But nothing appears.


    Didn''t I told you to go beyond it with your strength, right?


    Ah...he did say that...


    That''s enough. I''ll get my weapon...but my inventory won''t open.


    I''m not going to say it again


    So you want me to win this thing with just my body...I tried, but I couldn''t even use my martial arts. I can''t even use my martial arts. It''s too much to control evil.


    Do you think there is a limit to evil?


    No, I don''t. I don''t think so. I think it''s ridiculous to argue about evil or justice in the first ce. Because it is you, the majority and thew that decides.


    You may think you are righteous, but if the majority says it is wrong, it is wrong. Even if the majority of humans judge justice, it is evil if it is evil byw.


    There is no way to decide which is evil and which is right. That is why there is no limit to evil.


    But no matter how much evil is done to us, we have no choice but to follow the path that we think is right. That''s why I have to beat this child.


    I''ve already seen through this child''s sword line. It was not a ttering sword line. It was as if he had seen a cartoon and copied it.


    ...Hmm? Wait a minute...isn''t that strange? Isn''t this child in front of me imitating me?


    The sh with no apparent force and the way he responded to the kick afterwards. That''s something I didn''t have when I was a kid. So this child in front of me is just imitating me as a child.


    And this is the trial of the Evil Dragon King. I''m sure he''ll do at least that. Good grief...that''s just mean.


    I open my hand and take a stance. Then the child came at me with an uppercut. An upper cut here is a fatal wound.


    I dodge the upper cut, grab the child''s wrist and spin him around. The child is knocked to the ground and I confiscate his sword. It''s an aikido sword-taking technique.


    " I''m not one for half-assed sword fighting. And I''ve never shown you my fighting style. Nowa"


    "...It hurts"


    The child''s form bes Nowa. It''s Nowas mimicry. Perhaps the child just before was a copy of Nowa''s appearance as me as a child in Avatar. It''s no wonder they''re different and Nowa is a child who doesn''t use weapons. She could only imitate me, Lily and the others. As a result, her sword techniques are half-baked.


    "...Nii. Awful...to throw me away..."


    "I don''t want to be told only by Nowa, who changed her appearance and invited me to be upset and shed at me who was defenseless"


    "...That was the Evil Dragon King''s order. It''s not Nowa''s fault"


    I guess. And Nowa is a big deal for easily spoiling the story and iming her innocence.


    Don''t speak easily. You idiot


    "...Evil Dragon King doesn''t understand. At this rate, Nowa will be hit by Ion on the ass. I dont like that"


    Because Nowa has seen the scene with Koihi.


    HuooHuoo. It is also bad to escape punishment. This test has been passed. I will follow my family''s request and awaken the dragon''s blood in Nowa


    A ck light was emitted from Nowa and the evolution began.


    When the evolution was over, there was Nowa in her pseudo-dragon form.


    "...I''m getting bigger again"


    It''s natural. Sexual desire is also evil. What would you say without the size of your breasts?


    Ah, this Evil Dragon King is lewd. No doubt.


    I''m not sure how much of this I''m aware of, but if I had killed Nowa like that, I wouldn''t have been able to forgive myself. I have lost my parents and now I relive that day with my own hands. It''s not mean at all"


    Then, the evil Dragon King said,


    But you have sessfully averted that future of despair with your eyes and brain. You should be proud of yourself. You have ovee the evil I have prepared for you and made the right choice


    "So, because you control evil, you also control good?"


    Naturally. This world is made up of evil and good. There is no such thing as neutrality. Even those who do nothing be either good or evil. Therefore, if you don''t want to fall into evil, you have to keep choosing what you think is right


    This is the dualism of good and evil proposed by Friedrich Nietzsche, a famous German philosopher. It is a method of perception that interprets the world by ssifying events into the two categories good and evil. I think this idea is correct too, so I''ll answer.


    "Yes...I''ll keep that in mind"


    Umm. Take care of my family member


    The darkness clears and we return to the world.


    This was the first thing Nowa said when we came back.


    "...Nii. Thoughts"


    Ah, I haven''t told her yet. When I looked at Nowa''s figure again, I saw that she was wearing a gothic lolita dress with ck frills, arge ck ribbon on her back and ribbons on her arms and neck. And she was wearing a ck maid''s catsuit.


    "So many ribbons have been added, it''s so pretty"


    "...Thanks"


    I was worried that the horns would get in the way of the catsuit, but they seem to be fine. Let''s check the status then.<hr>

    Evil Dragon Blessing Lv1<hr>


    The meaning of Obsession is obsession. I feel like it''s toote for that now, since Nowa is already constantly lurking in my shadow.


    I''m not sure if the status is lower than Lily or Ion, but Nowa''s true value lies in her skills.


    In the past, the range of shadow movement was limited to me and Nowa, but now any of my friends can use it and the number of people I can carry has increased to six, the number of people in a party. This alone has be quite strange.


    When I asked about the mysterious curse strike, I was told that when she attacks, the wound stays on the opponent, causing continuous damage. The more she attacks, the more damage the other party takes. In addition, she has evil eye, dragon technique, dark wave motion and dragonification.


    I guess you could say she''s pretty strong.


    Now, the next step is the evolution of Lian, which I made you wait for. Lian emits a blue light and evolves.<hr>


    <b><i>Name Lian Little Mermaid Lv20Mermaid Lv1</i></b>

    Lian''s evolution isplete. The Curse song skill has been acquired


    Lian has been granted the fascination skill"


    Well, the Little just disappeared. And she''s learned the fascination skill...this can''t be helped. Because she''s a mermaid whose style isparable to Ribina. Of course she will be charming.


    "H, How is it? Takuto-senpai"


    "You''ve be beautiful. Lian"


    "Ehehe. Thank you very much"


    Even if the style is the same, if the personality is different, the damage you take is totally different. But there is also a curse song. I guess this is from the legend of the mermaid. There are stories about mermaids who are friendly to people and stories about mermaids who charm voyagers with their songs and make them shipwreck or attack them. I guess that''s where ites from.


    The effect is to make the enemy who hears the song cursed and sick. I''m starting to see a lot of thisbination.


    "Mumumu~"


    Ribina turns her gaze on me. Then I get a message from Ruin-san.


    A celebration is being held with NPCs in the open space. If you''d like, you can join us after you finish your evolution. But Princess Sarah and the others have asked that Lily and the others not participate


    Well, there was talk of the guardian dragon. I don''t want to be feted either. I promised Lily and the others that I would bring them some food and headed for the square.
