Time was something that would pass quickly if one didn't pay attention to it, just like an hourglass that no one paid attention to.
It had been a few days since the Worm Dragon died, and Lulunaka and the others had also stayed here for a few days.
When Junia's other subordinate, the strong Gade, arrived with more Knights and a large number of support staff, he saw a hell that made him frown. Many people couldn't help but want to vomit.
As for knights who had been on battlefields, they had seen too many bloody scenes; however, it was really rare for them to see such a scene.
They saw a large amount of flesh and blood, but it wasn't the scene they were used to — a frighteningly large worm?
If this was a worm … A huge strange worm that could split a mountain in half was lying on the ground. Its fat body was cut into pieces like a skinned fish. Only the skeleton and the flesh of its head were left in place. Its flesh and blood were scattered around and no one cared about it.
The flesh and blood had already rotted and emitted a strong smell that made people feel uncomfortable.
The ground had already turned dark green. The earth had already sucked its blood dry, even if it was poison.
Although the sun had restored warmth to this gloomy place, it was hard for the newcomers to feel relaxed.
This place was more like the kitchen of a Great Demon. It wasn't cooking mortals, but giant beasts.
To many people, this would become a nightmare that wouldn't disappear for a long time.
However, for Gade, this was a good topic to talk about after drinking. Even if he had ten Jessica's brains, he couldn't think of anything more ridiculous than the reality in front of him … and it was true.
A few days ago, he received a message from Jessica and thought that she was making a big fuss over nothing. But now, it seemed that she wasn't prepared enough.
Even if they cut off the head of such a large prey and brought it back as a specimen, it wasn't something that a few carriages could handle.
And Jessica, who led Gade here, was walking with her captain towards Gade.
Gade saw the captain and Jessica from afar. He strode over and hugged the captain.
"Long time no see, Captain."
"It's only been a few days," Junia said to Gade.
Gade's face was full of excitement. He looked at the dead Worm Dragon and then at Junia, "It's only been a few days, and you killed such a thing … This is the dragon that Jessica mentioned, right?"
His tone was much higher than usual, but it wasn't his fault, "It's only been a few days, and I missed such a big event. I should have stayed back."
Junia could understand why Gade was so emotional. No one knew his subordinate better than him what kind of person he was. Slaying a dragon was something that only existed in legends, and he, Gade, actually missed it. He didn't even have the chance to be a witness?
To Gade, this was probably a lifetime's regret.
But at the very least, he had witnessed the birth of a legend, and that person was his own captain, the perfect knight that he admired the most … Now, he was even a dragon-slaying warrior.
Junia bit of time, Junia's face.
Gade looked at his captain's face for a while and found something strange, "Captain, your skin …"
Junia didn't change his expression even though his subordinates noticed something strange about him. He only replied, "I was splashed with something corrosive. Just treat it as a new skin."
Gade didn't ask any more questions. "So that's how it is."
This wasn't strange. In the stories of dragon slayers, when an evil dragon was killed by a dragon slayer, the dragon's blood, which was more terrifying than venom, would be splashed on the dragon slayer's body. It was like a final curse before death.
Dragon slayers would have different endings because of the different dragon's blood. Although most of them didn't have good endings, Gade didn't think it was the time to spoil the atmosphere.
Moreover, his mind was now focused on witnessing the birth of a legend. Although he did not witness it with his own eyes, he could imagine the scene at that time when he saw the deformed dragon behind his captain that had been dismantled until only its skeleton and head were left. He could imagine how heroic the scene was and how his boss fought a bloody battle …
This made him very envious and jealous of Jessica, who was kept by Junia's side.
How could Jessica, who was beside Junia, not feel Gade's envious gaze? That gaze was like a child's candy being snatched away.
She could only smile bitterly and didn't say anything that would make Gade anxious.
Moreover, she wasn't in the mood.
Although she had personally experienced everything, she didn't see the scene of Junia slaying the dragon. However, she saw the miserable state that Junia was in after slaying the dragon.
It definitely wasn't as simple as changing his skin. No matter how she looked at it, the captain didn't look like he could survive. But he survived, and he survived with a terrifying appearance.
Then, through Lulunaka's hands, his terrifying appearance was restored to Junia's original appearance in an even more terrifying way …
JESSICA had seen the whole thing.
After that, besides taking care of Junia, who hadn't recovered, she contacted Gade and asked him to bring a large number of manpower to clean up this place. She also watched as Lulunaka turned this place into a kitchen of hell.
The past few days had probably been an unforgettable nightmare for Jessica.
She heard that at the end of the dragon slaying story, those dragons would be dismantled until not even their skeletons were left. Everything on their bodies would be used as materials, and their end wouldn't be any better than animals.
But hearing the story and seeing the process with her own eyes were two completely different things.
Not to mention, a certain someone's slaughtering process was a little scary.
And now, a certain someone obviously didn't continue the slaughtering work, but she wasn't here now.
In these few days, apart from when the construction started, Lulunaka rarely appeared in front of Jessica and the others.
The Zerg Dragon was huge and its length could split mountains. Jessica could hear the sound of flesh tearing in the distance, even at night. But Lulunaka wasn't in front of her.
Lulunaka's little follower and Jessica's savior, Dina, was squatting at the side and drawing circles on the ground with a bored look.
Unlike the people who were surrounding the remains of the Zerg Dragon and exclaiming in admiration, she hid away from the crowd as though she was in another world.
Lulunaka didn't bring her along and let her stay by Jessica's side. Jessica had been taking care of her for the past few days.
Jessica didn't know how to get along with this little girl who spat out filth after swallowing an eyeball. Her personality reminded Jessica of wild cats that couldn't be approached at all.
Cats were cute, but wild cats were too cute and too hurtful.
