"Huh?
When Shin read the next information, he was way too shocked to even think properly.
Well, some weird stuff was mentioned by the system which was not that hard to comprehend but surely was a bit confusing.
'So basically, he will lose 50% of his powers…'
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%.
Once they would be out of the swamp. His stats would get restored to the point which was reduced by the title, at least, that's what should have happened.
Now due to the curse that would be left behind, his powers would be in the same reduced state.
Also, he wouldn't be able to retain his large body or the body in which he is in at the moment.
*gulp*
'Should I tell these things to him?', Shin wondered.
He thought for a few seconds and concluded that it was best for the dragon to know about it.
"Listen…", Shin turned his gazes towards the dragon and even before he could say anything, the dragon started to speak.
"So, you can't free me?", he asked.
It was as if he was criticizing Shin or was trying to show that Shin wouldn't be able to do anything like that. Basically, he was trying to prove himself that everyone was a liar!
"Sigh, why do you always conclude that I won't be able to do that?", Shin asked with a raised voice.
The dragon paused when he heard that. He couldn't possibly answer that it was because of the past, so he just kept quiet.
"I-", Shin didn't let the dragon say anything else.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe just started to tell about what he was about to do and what were the problems.
"The curse eater skill which I have cannot completely remove the curse that you are inflicted with.", Shin said.
"Not completely?", the dragon paid attention to the most important part.
"Yes, the thing is-"
Shin then started to explain what the skill could do and what the problems were. Of course, after telling that he waited for the dragon's response.
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.
He never once gave up and thought about dying probably because he had this hope that one day he would be freed. Maybe that was his willpower.
In any case, he was someone who wanted to be freed at the moment so he was definitely ready to take the risks.
Needless to say, boredom and loneliness was the main reason for that.
"Yes, I want to be freed…"
"Please help me…", the dragon said in a low voice.
His anger had disappeared long ago and now it was the turn of the curse.
Although no fully, he could help him removing a part of the curse which was indeed a good thing.
"Alright then…", Shin then without wasting any time, accepted the extra effects of the curse eater as displayed by the system.
"Yes…"
'Ding'
[ Command Accepted ]
[ The skill Curse Eater has been activated ]
[ The skill is going to eat 30% of the curse on the target ]
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.
Of course, Shin was different, he was able to tell that right away.
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.
The effect of the curse was still placed on him, however, 30% of it was definitely reduced.
What was that curse anyway? Restraint? That was what the system had mentioned.
But was it just simple restraint? No, it was a restraint that continuously sucked the dragon's magic powers.
Of course, after it got weakened, some of the dragon's powers returned back to his body.
'Roar'
He roared with all his might and soon enough the purple magic vanished.
'Ugh'
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.
"Does this mean…"
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.
"Huh…?"
"A sword…?", Shin was surprised to see a sword.
He never expected the dragon to sustain injuries due to a mere sword, however, when he carefully took a look at it, he found out that there was something different about it.
'Ding'
[ Item detected ]
[ Profile ]
Name: Masamura
[ Sword of the great sage Lian ]
[ Dragonslayer ]
[ -> A sword that can slay dragon ]
[ -> Can heal the target ]
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!
The swords were considered as one of the most powerful weapons of all time and because they were so rare, the craze for them was a real deal!
However, such a sword can instantly kill a dragon if it were to pierce a dragon's heart.
How did Shin know that?
Of course, because it was mentioned in the description provided by the system.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm[ Dragonslayer weapons ]
[ -> Weapons that have powers to kill a dragon ]
[ -> 90% chance of killing a dragon if the weapon were to stab their hearts ]
[ Exceptions: High-Tier Dragon Slayer Weapons ]
[ -> They may have various properties that can reduce or increase the chance of killing a dragon ]
Either the dragon was really lucky that it survived, or there was something else that led him to survive.
Surely, he had extraordinary abilities to regenerate, unfortunately, in front of a dragon slayer weapon, that was nothing at all!
So how did the dragon survive?
Shin found the answer to this question after looking at the weapon's profile again.
[ -> Can heal the target ]
With this he understood how the dragon survived.
'But who in their sane minds try to heal a dragon which they were trying to kill?', Shin asked himself.
In any case, he thought that it was the best if he were to remove the item from the dragon's body.
'Hmm, how do I do that…?', not that he had some spell that would allow him to pull the sword out.
"Hey, do you have a way to remove the sword?", Shin asked.
The dragon was so happy that he was able to move that he didn't think about the sword earlier.
Now After Shin mentioned that, the dragon took a moment to notice it.
"This…"
The dragon thought about pulling the sword with its hands, but unfortunately, his hands were no different than his legs.
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!
So obviously he wouldn't be able to pull a sword like that. He might end up pushing it further inside which would only hurt him more.
Also, there is a chance that the sword would obliterate his hands.
It just shook its head and wondered of a way to remove the sword.
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!
