[ Warning ]
[ Regression of the level will take place ]
[ All stats will be reduced by 50% ]
[ Would you like to proceed? ]
“Huh?
Well, some weird stuff was mentioned by the system which was not that hard to comprehend but surely was a bit confusing.
The dragon already had lost most of its power due to a curse. Due to the status of the Swamp Ruler, his status had been reduced by 50%.
Now due to the curse that would be left behind, his powers would be in the same reduced state.
*gulp*
He thought for a few seconds and concluded that it was best for the dragon to know about it.
“So, you can’t free me?”, he asked.
“Sigh, why do you always conclude that I won’t be able to do that?”, Shin asked with a raised voice.
“I-“, Shin didn’t let the dragon say anything else.
“The curse eater skill which I have cannot completely remove the curse that you are inflicted with.”, Shin said.
“Yes, the thing is-”
Someone who grew strong wouldn’t just want to give up all their powers!
That held true for the dragon too. He might have undergone a lot of hardships to get stronger.
He had been locked up at the same place for many years because of the curse whose origins were yet to be known. He had been enduring the pain all this time while he was trapped.
In any case, he was someone who wanted to be freed at the moment so he was definitely ready to take the risks.
“Yes, I want to be freed…”
His anger had disappeared long ago and now it was the turn of the curse.
“Alright then…”, Shin then without wasting any time, accepted the extra effects of the curse eater as displayed by the system.
‘Ding’
[ The skill Curse Eater has been activated ]
Right after that, bright purple light started to shine from the ground. One could see that it was a large magic circle from the top, however just from standing on top of it, one couldn’t possibly conclude that.
In any case, Shin wondered how long it would take for the curse to be reduced by 30%, to his surprise, it happened in seconds.
What was that curse anyway? Restraint? That was what the system had mentioned.
Of course, after it got weakened, some of the dragon’s powers returned back to his body.
He roared with all his might and soon enough the purple magic vanished.
The dragon thought that the skill hadn’t worked initially, however to his surprise, he could move his tail which had been stuck in the muddy water for long.
He then slowly tried to free his hands which were stuck inside the hardened muddy water and yes, he was able to pull them out with ease.
Shin noticed this when the dragon raised its body a bit and his chest portion was above the surface.

“A sword…?”, Shin was surprised to see a sword.
‘Ding’
[ Profile ]
[ Sword of the great sage Lian ]
[ -> A sword that can slay dragon ]
A dragon slayer sword can kill the dragon with ease. Those swords were so rare in the world that if one were to find such a thing, he could instantly buy a whole kingdom!
However, such a sword can instantly kill a dragon if it were to pierce a dragon’s heart.
Of course, because it was mentioned in the description provided by the system.
[ -> Weapons that have powers to kill a dragon ]
[ Exceptions: High-Tier Dragon Slayer Weapons ]
Either the dragon was really lucky that it survived, or there was something else that led him to survive.
So how did the dragon survive?
[ -> Can heal the target ]
‘But who in their sane minds try to heal a dragon which they were trying to kill?’, Shin asked himself.
‘Hmm, how do I do that…?’, not that he had some spell that would allow him to pull the sword out.
The dragon was so happy that he was able to move that he didn’t think about the sword earlier.
“This…”
He was a dragon that walked on four legs after all so it was obvious that he couldn’t use his two so-called arms which were no more than forelimbs!
Also, there is a chance that the sword would obliterate his hands.
Shin also used his human brain as hard as he could however he couldn’t arrive at a conclusion, not until the system gave out a new feature as a bonus!
“…”
To be continued…
