Becoming the Villain’s Family - Chapter 388
Chapter 388
Leaving the wound to fester and rot is no different from abuse.
He was generally indifferent, but at the very least, he cared enough about his own kin not to just watch them suffer like that.
Luca let out a hollow laugh in a weakened voice.
“Heh, so you’re really trying to take everything from me…”
“You won’t willingly take on the mission with your personality. It’s obvious you’ll lose your mind and do something crazy, so I’ll make it easy for you now.”
It’s for your own good, so just stay still.
Goldkern added that, then reached out to touch Luca’s head.
Or rather, he tried to.
But Luca, with his head lowered in weakness, suddenly gripped his fingers so tightly as though he was about to crush them and whispered fiercely.
“How dare you.”
“…What?”
“I told you clearly. If you touch me, I’ll die with you.”
His green eyes, filled with intense fury, burned brightly, like a powder keg on the verge of exploding.
He was on the brink of losing control.
Goldkern’s face showed a fleeting look of dismay.
The dragon, abnormally grown for God’s mission, surely wouldn’t have been left without power.
God must have granted him considerable abilities.
At the very least, there should be a hidden ace up his sleeve.
Goldkern had underestimated him because he looked like a mere nine-year-old child.
He had thought the child was just frightened, growling with fur raised and spouting nonsense.
‘Was he really ready to risk his life?’
For the sake of such a trivial creature…
The sense of duty to stop this from going any further welled up, but first, it was necessary to calm him down.
“Wait…”
As Goldkern raised both his hands lightly, trying to reassure the frightened child, it happened.
At that moment, a look of astonishment and awe suddenly appeared on the face of the golden dragon.
The energy that had been quietly surrounding and embracing the world…
The overwhelming presence was suddenly felt vividly.
The energy of god, Shadra.
Even in this very cave, where they stood.
‘Is this an illusion?’
No, it couldn’t be an illusion.
Goldkern turned to look behind him in surprise.
The man with black hair, carrying God’s energy, was standing in the center of the cave with an indifferent expression.
Surrounded by humans.
‘A… priest?’
No, a mere priest couldn’t possess such pure and untainted energy.
It was more likely that this being had been created by the god using god’s own power.
The body was human, but such a thing—he had never heard of it.
“What are you?”
“……”
The man didn’t answer.
Instead, he looked down at the white-haired human woman he was holding in his arms, like they weren’t even worth his attention.
What is this…?
In the face of an unprecedented situation, Goldkern stood frozen, unable to react properly. While the white-haired human began whispering and pointing toward the strange man who radiated divine energy.
Finally, the gaze of the mysterious man, clearly related to god, met Goldkern’s.
Summoning all his patience, Goldkern asked again.
“Alright, what exactly are you?”
Noah barely moved his fingers.
In that instant, everything changed.
Goldkern, who had been holding Luca tightly, suddenly found his hands empty.
Without even realizing it, Luca was pulled toward them as if by teleportation. He was momentarily too stunned to radiate the murderous intent he had been emitting with his body frozen in confusion.
“Luca!”
At that moment, Elaina ran into his arms and hugged him tightly.
“Ella…”
Luca’s intense, burning gaze slowly softened, and his expression returned to calm. He leaned his forehead gently on the child’s shoulder and let out a deep breath.
The familiar scent tickled his nose.
The emotions that had been surging uncontrollably like a storm inside him began to fade away like a mirage.
Luca sighed, savoring the overwhelming happiness that suddenly washed over him.
“I should have found you first.”
“Come on, stop trying to act so grown-up. We’re only a year apart.”
“Haha, is that so?”
“Brother is still a child too.”
“Right, I’m still young…”
“You can’t help it. From now on, I’ll protect you.”
“Yes, Ella will protect me.”
Calvin, who had been silently watching Luca, felt a sharp pull in his neck.
Every time Luca was called a child, Luca had been spitting out every curse imaginable, but now he was acting like a completely different person, playing the part of a spoiled child.
‘Was it because of that human?’
The human who made Luca willing to risk his life for just twelve years.
Calvin sharply scanned the child who was tightly holding Luca.
‘Definitely not an ordinary human.’
He would have to look closer, but it’s clear.
Cunning.
It was no coincidence that this person appeared with someone who seemed to have deep ties to god and knew exactly how to exploit a dragon’s weakness.
Clearly, they must have completely bewitched Luca, to the point where the young dragon could no longer think straight.
Clicking his tongue in annoyance, Calvin stepped forward.
“Tsk, coming in here uninvited like that, I’ll give you credit for your courage. But no human has ever left this place alive…”
“Brother!”
“Atty! Ha, thank goodness. You’re safe.”
“Are you alright? Did you get hurt?”
“Well, but… who is this?”
“Brother, be polite. I’ll explain who they are later.”
“Oh, my apologies. I’m Luca Valentine.”
“Uh, I’m Maya. Ella was really worried about you, and I’m glad we made it in time.”
“Really?”
“Tch, asking something obvious. How could I not worry about you? How much I… how much…”
“I misspoke. Okay? Don’t cry. Sorry, Ella.”
“I’m not crying! It’s just dust!”
“These kids…”
The dragons, who were gnashing their teeth in fury with the anger of a thousand years, were ignored by everyone.
Instead, Luca held Elaina’s head tightly against his chest and gave a warning glare to the dragons to quiet down.
The patience of dragons is short-lived.
