Becoming the Villain’s Family - Chapter 389
Chapter 389
It wasn’t for nothing that Noah had prophesied that he would be attacked as soon as he moved into the dragon’s lair. And it wasn’t an empty warning when it was said that the dragon kin would fight to extinction for revenge if one of their own was harmed.
Of course, it wasn’t an empty threat.
Goldkern clenched his fists tightly and placed a hand on Calvin’s trembling shoulder as he gritted his teeth.
“Enough. No need to deal with him.”
“Goldkern.”
“It seems I’ve been too considerate.”
No matter how powerful they were, there was no reason to endure humiliation.
Finally reaching his limit, Goldkern tried to summon his divine energy.
“Ah, wait.”
Maya flinched, taking a sharp breath as she saw white light emerging from his hand.
Reacting swiftly to her reaction, Noah waved his hand like swatting away a fly.
“…”
Goldkern froze, sensing that the energy he had gathered was returning to its original place. He was struck with disbelief.
‘Just now…’
It was a sensation he had never felt before.
The energy, which he had always been able to wield like a part of his body, had fragmented into tiny pieces and scattered in an instant.
To put it simply, it was like a dish made from many ingredients, only for those ingredients to return to their original state.
All because that man waved his hand.
‘What is this nonsense?’
A person with divine energy.
A being who inherited god’s omnipotence.
But that didn’t mean he was Shadra, the one true god they all worshipped with their bodies and souls.
That realization made Goldkern even more furious.
It was the beginning of the long-standing hatred that dragons had for Noah.
“You, you bastard…!”
“Alright, alright. Calm down now.”
At that moment, Elaina, having finally freed herself from Luca’s arms, intervened.
“How dare a human interrupt me?”
“Come on, if you keep acting like this, we won’t finish this conversation today.”
Then the little girl let out a heavy sigh, glancing between Noah and the dragons, like she was looking at a rebellious teenager.
“I know Noah hates talking about these things. But please, can we have a conversation? If we leave this misunderstanding unresolved, it’s just going to cause more trouble.”
“Right! Please.”
Maya, trembling with fear as she buried herself into Noah’s arms, quickly joined in.
Only then did Noah’s gaze turn toward the dragons.
His eyes were as dark and unfathomable as a deep cave.
“I was born as a demigod. I have awakened and become an evil god.”
“Evil god? What kind of ominous nonsense is that…”
But no matter how much they criticized him, it was clear that this was someone who could mold divine energy like clay.
It meant the god approved of his every action and aligned with his will.
“I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
“I’ve existed for a long time. God didn’t reveal me to you because you have no use for what god does.”
“What?”
No, how can he even speak like that!
The dragons were known for their short tempers. If they were angered, they would fight to extinction. So why on earth was Noah provoking them like this?
Maya quickly covered Noah’s mouth and continued speaking.
“That’s not it. What he means is that the god hasn’t called for you two yet. It’s a peaceful time, after all.”
Come on, say yes to that. Maya shot Noah a look with her eyes, silently urging him to agree.
“…”
Instead of answering, Noah took her small hand gently and placed a deep kiss on her palm.
Maya, startled, was about to scold him, but Noah acted like he didn’t even hear her. It was like he’d forgotten what he was doing, or perhaps had simply lost interest in their conversation.
‘This is madness…’
The two dragons, sharing the same thought, couldn’t hide the disgust on their faces as they glared at the situation.
Goldkern, who had lost all energy and was now completely drained, wiped his face with one hand and spoke with more composure than before.
“So, what’s the reason for barging into someone’s home?”
It seemed that the idea of attacking them just because they were intruders was no longer Goldkern’s plan. Elaina gave her prepared answer in relief.
“Please return Luca.”
“…Is that all?”
His voice sounded dark and ominous, as though he was ready for a final confrontation.
Elaina whispered to Luca.
“It seems neither of them is willing to let Brother go easily.”
“It won’t be easy. They’re thousands of years old, they’re such unbelievably stubborn old dragons.”
Elaina recalled the memories Luca had shared with her when they hugged.
“Even if my mother, who gave birth to me, were to come back to life, she wouldn’t obsess like this.”
“Obsessive dragons…”
How much must they have suffered?
Elaina glanced at Luca with sympathy before gently patting his back.
‘Should we really fight?’
Even if they fought, Noah and Luca weren’t something of their match, and the result would probably be a brutal loss.
Even though Goldkern couldn’t use divine power right now, Luca was still a child, and Noah wasn’t without his own strength.
‘Hmm.’
But Elaina suddenly thought of another possibility with her eyes gleaming.
“The only reason I’m tolerating you is to not block god’s path. If you want to leave here alive, you must have a good reason.”
They weren’t part of her original plan, but if they could be useful, they were definitely better than nothing.
What is the purpose of a dragon’s existence?
To protect god.
They were created solely for that purpose.
But what about in the current time, when the god is still alive?
In this peaceful era, the dragons had no real purpose.
To put it bluntly, they had nothing to do. So, they must have been bored and kidnapped Luca as soon as they found him.
‘How much free time did they have?’
Elaina thought to herself.
If she played her cards right, she could get them to join her plan.
“Excuse me.”
“What is it, human?”
“Please listen to me.”
Elaina stepped forward and opened her arms wide.
