I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 57: Hating [Ardner's Perspective]

"So have you talked to me or not?"

*****

Hmm!! he could have said that! it's unacceptable. It's an insult.

"Why can I lose to a snot kid like him reckless, naive, fragile, but why? is my strength that weak?"

After giving the punishment to the girl I went straight back to the 90th floor carrying the three dragons with me, that girl really makes me sick just because I don't move she bravely defies the rules and becomes more and more so every day.

For 6 years I ordered the dragons to chase after him and bring him to me none of the dragons returned safely, they never returned.

And when I could find him he humiliated me with a miserable defeat, considering that all of those events caused my blood to rise I could not accept that, this defeat was an insult to me.

"I can chop his body very easily, but.... What's with that hair? why can't I cut it? what strength did his scales move to the hair as he evolved? and..."

DUARR

"Why are you protecting her?!!"

I vent my anger hitting the wall hard while staring intently at the dragons beside me, they just silently answered nothing.

"Did the girl control them?"

***

"What the fuck! what exactly happened to you guys?"

I checked each dragon to ascertain whether the girl was controlling it or not, but unfortunately I could not find any signs of any controlling magic controlling them, the dragons were acting on their own will.

What caused them to act like that?

...***...

"What are you coming here for?"

From beside me there appeared a dimensional vortex that showed that there was someone who was using teleport magic to this place and it was true that coming here was none other than Wind one from a dragon monster leader like me, six years ago he brought someone dying to me.

"I just want to check on Grea." The answer.

...[ Flashbacks ]...

"Ardners!" he said while embracing someone who was seriously injured.

"What happened to her?"

"The island of the water dragon was attacked and Grea was very badly injured, can you treat him I beg Ardner." Answer with anxiety.

Wind came in agitated and worried while carrying someone very badly injured and asked me to treat him.

The injured person was none other than Grea his close friend who was also a dragon leader of the water dragon monster race.

"Why don't you take him to your place? you're better at medicine than I am."

"My mountains are too close to the ocean, there's nothing to guarantee my people are not attacked, instead the labyrinth is a hidden and impenetrable place, we can treat and hide Grea safely." Evidently.

"So Ardner can you help?"

"Well, it'll be bad if he gets killed, follow me."

.

.

.

"Let him down there."

The wound was so severe, who had injured it to this extent?

"I'll help." Wind.

The worry was very obvious on his face considering that Grea was a very precious friend to him, I then took him to my place and asked him to lay Grea's body on a large rock and began to do treatment on him with the help of Wind.

"The wound was too severe, it took a long time to be able to treat it." Wind said to me.

"No need to worry about Wind from here on out I'll treat myself, thank you for helping me. You're Ardner too."

.....

"Grea."

Grea's body slowly enlarges and changes into her dragon form, starting hibernation to heal herself, even though it takes a long time.

"Who did that to her?" I asked Wind.

"Thera? that little girl yeah, I never thought she could beat Grea."

When there was a war between the dragon monster race and the dragon clan he was one of the three remaining brothers of the clan leader's lineage.

I didn't kill him because he was so pitiful and so weak, but it seems like he has changed a lot evident from Grea's defeat as one of the monster leaders.

"Trust Ardner, the dragon clan was not as weak as it used to be when the girl began to take over leadership..."

" It's almost reversed..."

"It seems we've been wrong to let him live, we should have killed him in the war 15 years ago." Wind said with annoyance.

"What are you going to do after this?" ask her.

"I'll keep an eye on them from a distance, I'll also tell Red to be careful."

"You're the one who has to take care of yourself."

"Yes, thank you. Then I'll go excuse me."

...[ Flashback end ]...

"You can go." I said to the dragons.

Since there was a guest I ordered the dragons to leave this place so as not to disturb our conversation.

Seeing them made me even more annoyed with the girl for what she did to the dragons to the point that these dragons obeyed and protected her.

"So how's Ardner doing?"

"No need to worry, she's been better.I've helped her recovery a little, but she still can't wake up from her hibernation."

For the past six years I've been busy with Grea's healing affairs even though there's been little progress on her condition, but she's been much better than before, his strength was completely drained coupled with a severe wound slowing down his healing process.

...

"Grea.he's a precious person to me..." Her speech with a slight drop of tears stared at the body of the dragon Grea.

"I know that."

Wind and I then went to the place where Grea was to see her state, when we got to her to look at her sadly, immediately, I hate that feeling for what crying it is he won't heal just because seeing people cry, depending on the feeling will make someone weaker.

Hmh! why does everything that happened today remind me of that girl, I'm really fed up with her.

"What happened to Ardner? you look angry."

"It's nothing..."

For now I'd better keep the girl's appearance a secret.

"You're obviously angry with Ardner, what happened to you?"

"No need to think..so is there any movement from them?" ask her.

"There are no strange movements, but they are still on the island of the water dragon it seems and they are preparing their powers to make an attack."

"Do we have to be careful with them, I can attack their base before they even have time to realize it."

"Don't do it, we don't know how strong we're dealing with."

"Well then I'll go. I have to keep an eye on him."

After seeing Grea and having a little chat with Wind and then going back to watch the movements of the dragon clan, I did not understand why I had to be wary of them, I hate this kind of situation for what I have to be wary of such a weak child, the last time I saw him he was crying over his father's corpse was really very sad.

.........

"What was my mistake?"

...

"I'm sorry I didn't know about the rules at all, again I'm sorry, you can punish me I won't fight."

.........

DUARR

"Why is he the only one on my mind!!? he is just a naive person!! why can I lose to him!!?" I said while hitting the labyrinth wall.

He is interesting but...

"I hate defeat!! I'll make him suffer for his naivety."
