Dragon Maken War Chapter 178 - The End of the Wait (1)

-Correct.

She hadn’t been a Dragon Demon. She had been dying as a human girl. In Reygus’ opinion, she hadn’t been disguising herself with magic. She really had the body of a human.

-I was human.

-Until the king came looking for me, I lived as a human.

<…I’m having a hard time understanding this.>

-You already know what kind of being I am.

Kayalia’s tribe were unsociable. They created their society in a perilous land, and they had lived for a thousand years in a closed society.

The tribe was started by a 1st generation Dragon Demon, and the Dragon Demon had created the secret art of Transmigration. One could live beyond their allotted lifespan. This magic made them practically immortal. Kayalia had been wors.h.i.+pped as the G.o.ddess of this tribe. This was Kayalia’s ident.i.ty.

When she felt her life nearing its end, she performed a ritual to be reborn as her own descendant. However, it was hard to differentiate which descendant she was transmigrated into. It required time and opportunity for her to awaken from her transmigration.

-Even if the secret technique could allow me to pursue immortality, it wasn’t perfect.

After several transmigration, small problems started to pop up.

There were omissions to her memories, or she had some mental problem. There was a time when a curse made her suffer from ill health. It shortened her lifespan…...

-The soul is influenced by the body more so than people think. If one is reborn as a new existence several dozen times over the long years, the quality of the original soul degrades.

Small breakdowns starts to happen, and crucial problem starts to occur.

-I became two people.

-I was supposed to awaken as a single ent.i.ty, but I was awakened in two people.

She awakened within siblings, who were identical.

It was Kayalia and her twin brother Kaydika.

The divinity the tribe had absolutely believed in started to break down at that point.

-The tribe was divided into those that advocated for me, and those that advocated for Kaydika. Both sides fought each other. Moreover, Kaydika and I loved each other, but at the same time, we hated each other.

Before the awakening, Kayalia and Kaydika were twins that had boundless love for each other. However, after the awakening, their hatred for each other became boundless.

It wasn’t the influence of the other people around them. Her soul had been split into two, and the two siblings were in pain when they realized that their own uniqueness was undermined by each other’s presence.

-We knew it by instinct. The only way to escape this torment was to kill the other. There could be only one.

The tribe broke into two, and they fought. It spurred a codestruction.

-Before my last moment came, I started the ritual for transmigration. However, it was unstable. I didn’t have the luxury to prepare the whole ritual.

She had lived for a very long time through transmigration, but her existence came to an end with Kayalia and Kaydika.

That was what everyone had thought.

However, Atein was of a different mind.

-The king knew my ritual was incomplete, but he thought there was a possibility of it succeeding.

This was why he had done something ridiculous. He placed a detection magic over the entire continent. It would alert him the moment I awakened again. He had done this while he was conducting a war against the whole world.

Kayalia had been unaware of his efforts. She had lived her life after being transmigrated into a human girl.

-I was treated with contempt as a cursed child. In the end…..

A bitter smile appeared on her lips.

She had died at the hands of the humans she had trusted.

After she was transmigrated into a human, she had lived an una.s.suming life. She lived in a city where there was an inst.i.tution that trained magicians. The magicians were very closed in terms of teaching their secret techniques. However, they had no choice, but to open themselves when an enemy of humanity had appeared. They couldn't discriminate in their teachings when faced with the threat of the Dragon Demon king’s army.

However, the war continued to deteriorate, and the magicians had nowhere to run away. Their city was put under siege.

Since the city had many magicians, they were able to mount a fierce defense, and they planned on holding out for the day when they would get rescued….. However, in several days time, their enemies poisoned the lake. The city was sealed up, and the only source of water was the lake. This drove the residents of the city into despair.

They had thought the city was safe. When this flimsy belief was destroyed, it dawned on them that their deaths were imminent. The humans lost all sense of reason.

The teenage magicians, who had studied under the same teacher as her, subdued and violated her. She had been someone with no background. It was horrendous, but their actions served as a catalyst that had awakened her.

Reygus felt awkward, so he scratched at his helmeted head. Then he realized his gesture was meaningless, so he awkwardly asked his next question.

He didn’t know how he should console her, so he chose to ignore the whole thing. At Reygus question, Kayalia let out a laugh.

-Pfft! .

-It just is. As expected, oppa is cute.

When Reygus first met Kayalia, she was already a Dragon Demon girl.

If she had died and transmigrated during that time period, the timeline didn’t match. Moreover, she had been at the brink of death, so she couldn’t have made preparations for her ritual.

-The king had made preparations a long time ago in an attempt to persuade me.

-No. Such a technique doesn’t exist. At the very least, it doesn’t exist as far as I know.
