Who were they? Who were they, and why had they attacked us? Then, in that instant, chills ran down my back and I turned around. There was nothing there. Yet I had definitely sensed a presence for a moment.
"My sponsor."
《The Constellation "Blacksmith of the Volcano" asks if there is something I want to ask.》
"Yes. Do you know where the other members of our party are right now?"
《The Constellation "Blacksmith of the Volcano" says they found them, but...》
"You found them, but?"
《The Constellation "Blacksmith of the Volcano" says Kim Dokja is naked right now...》
"?! Sideras, accept my sponsor’s guidance and run to where the others are right now!"
"Yes."
《The Constellation "Blacksmith of the Volcano" guides the servant.》
"Please be safe."
I prayed to my sponsor.
-------------------
Fortunately, I had revived as the [King of No Killing], but the situation was still far too dangerous. Fortunately, the apostles had died and a Cheongbing Pill had appeared. Just as I was about to figure out what to do with it—
《The Grade 5 Flame Species, [Lesser Dragon Ignir], prepares Flames of Ruin.》
《The Constellation "Blacksmith of the Volcano" says the servant of his incarnation is heading your way, so hold out for thirty seconds.》
"!"
"Everyone, did you just..."
"Yes! We saw it!"
"Something is coming?"
"You don’t know?"
At that moment, the sky darkened, and everyone looked up. Sideras was falling toward Ignir’s crown, one hand stretched out with Mountain gripped in it. Then Mountain collided with it.
《The Flames of Ruin of the Grade 5 Flame Species, [Lesser Dragon Ignir], have been canceled.》
[Lesser Dragon Ignir] is stunned for 15 seconds.
"Is everyone all right?"
"Yeah!"
"Hey, what is that thing?"
"No clue."
As I rapidly thought through the situation, I turned my gaze to the greatsword in Sideras’s right hand. Noticing it, Sideras explained.
"It is a weapon my master made for me."
"My brother did?"
"Cheolung did?"
"Hey, isn’t Cheolung the person our representative mentioned?"
"I think so?"
"Rather than have me explain, it would be better for you to see it yourselves."
"?"
《Numerous Constellations display question marks.》
With that, Sideras displayed the item’s information.
《Item Information》
Name: [Dragon-Slaying Sword]
Rank: S
Description: A sword made with the single-minded purpose of killing dragons.
"!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw the item information. Then I immediately came up with an idea. My eyes flew open. I immediately swallowed a Cheongbing Pill, seized the Dragon-Slaying Sword, and infused it with cold energy. At that moment, Ignir woke up again and tried to use its Breath of Ruin. I immediately used [Song of the Sword].
《You have used the Stigma [Song of the Sword].》
‘Please, don’t let only some weird verse come out...!’
『Late at night, a divine being appeared in a dream and said,
"If you do this, you shall win a great victory. If you do that, you shall be defeated."
So he said.』
At the same time, a red light burst from Ignir’s body before my eyes, and I immediately told Sideras to attack its weak point.
"Understood."
In an instant, Sideras climbed above the weak point, swung his sword, and carved out Ignir’s heart.
《A considerable number of Constellations stare blankly at Sideras.》
".............."
For a while, none of us said anything.
---------------------------
As I continued praying for their safety, a system window appeared.
《A Fable has fully bloomed.》
《You have obtained the Fable [One Who Made a Weapon to Kill Dragons].》
"...Huh?"
《Numerous Constellations congratulate you on obtaining a new Fable.》
"...I will hear the explanation from Kim Dokja. Before that, are the others safe?"
《The Constellation "Mass-Production Maker" says they are.》
"Then that is enough."
I waited for the others to return. Keeping my eyes on the head beside me, I had clearly put a bomb in its mouth, watched it swallow it, and then blown the bastard apart. Yet strangely, only its body had exploded while the head remained alive. How? As I stared coldly at the head, it spoke to me.
"Hey."
"..."
"Hey!"
"........"
"Hey!!"
".........."
"Hey!!!"
I ignored the head and simply sat on it, leaving its face pressed against the ground as I sank deep into thought. After dozens of minutes had passed, an idea suddenly struck me. I stood and picked up the head. It looked at me with an annoyed expression.
"Sorry. I was thinking so hard that I forgot you existed."
"?????"
The head looked at me as if I were unbelievable. Then I measured its size, made a wooden box, and shoved it inside. While waiting for Kim Dokja to arrive, I fell into thought again.
"Master."
Then Sideras approached me from the side. Carrying the enormous dragon’s corpse, Sideras looked at me, and I spoke.
"...Where did you get that?"
"It was the one attacking the members of the party."
Looking at Sideras, I handed him the box.
"Give this to Kim Dokja."
"Yes. Also, I obtained a [Lesser Dragon Heart], something called a [Cheongbing Pill], and a [Grade 5 Flame Dragon Core]."
"Leave them there. And Sideras, stay still for a moment."
"Yes."
I checked Sideras’s level.
《Servant [Sideras], Level 10》
As the servants’ average level reaches 10, the Stigma’s level increases.
I immediately opened my attribute window.

"Huh."
With a hollow laugh, I gestured for Sideras to go.
"Ah, leave the Dragon-Slaying Sword behind before you go."
"Yes."
I looked at the materials before me.
"How should I work these..."
Just as I was about to sink into thought with a faint smile on my lips—
Hum.
"What is it, Mountain?"
Hum.
"Do you want to absorb this?"
Hum.
What Mountain was asking permission to absorb was the [Grade 5 Flame Dragon Core].
"Do as you please."
Hum, hum, hum.
Perhaps Mountain was happy; it hummed more than usual.
"Then now... what should I do with this thing?"
A Dragon Heart was the source of a dragon’s magic power. What should I make with it?
